@@michaelpthompson Theres no ring on her finger at 32:56
When did they announce that
@@feelingold2995 Can't find it now, but earlier today,Kevin posted a photo showing a hose clamp on her finger with plastic diamonds glued on.
@@jackraintree4351 it was a couple days ago we saw it first on instagram
For anybody who is confused …. This is the second 1972 gold colors Cutlass he has resurrected. Some guys have all the luck!!!
I was gonna say when i saw the thumbnail...reupload? lol
@@Raptus_Gaming X2!
I next thought of ZIPTIES N BIAS PLIES when I saw it.
@@DanEBoyd
Greased or ungreased😜
Mint👌🏻
Yeah they had like 5 or more uploads of that one they gave to Kevin's dad.
I was confused by that at first haha
Congrats on getting engaged! So happy for you guys!!!
I painted in an Olds dealership from 1969-1989. I worked on hundreds of those. That color was nearly impossible to match, and one panel would not fade at a different rate than an adjacent panel unless it had been refinished. Watching this brings back a lot of memories.
How are you lucky enough to not only find one but 2 beautiful time capsules? And congratulations to Kevin and mook
its not luck if your willing to pay what the owner wants you can find all kinds of old cars
Congrats on the engagement, you two make a great couple, wish you both nothing but happiness. Keep the great content coming 👍🇺🇸⚜️🔥🔥🔥
Before I even watch, congratulations to you and Mook! You guys were meant for each other with amazing chemistry. Now I’ll go and enjoy the video!!
ha, I already started missing new content.
Thank you for doing so much, bring young people back to cars, encourage average people to tackle new tasks with explaining so many things and details.
You guys are absolutely great, authentic, it always feels like being with friends, working on stuff.
And then finally, the camera work is just right. little shaky but good quality, feels also right for the topic.
even with over 860.000 subscribers it feels small and realistic and fun, video length is spot on, it never gets boring.
Thumbs up, even if I have absolutely ZERO connection to these cars, boats and machines here in germany I enjoy every video.
and uuuh internetetional shipping
I had the sedan version of this as the first car I bought for myself. It was 1993 and the car was owned by my the elderly neighbor lady. It still had polyester tires on it but it was otherwise absolutely flawless, inside and out. You could comfortably seat six with the bench seats. Those bench seats were a pretty comfortable place to sleep too. I drove that car quite a lot over the next year or so and ended up selling it for almost nothing because I was young and clueless. The engine was absolutely ridiculous. I think it was a 455 big block Rocket. It was so easy to wrench on. Effortless burnouts. I tried to find the top end a few times on the highway but basically chickened out because I was going well over 100 in a pretty old car with 4 wheel drum brakes that liked to overheat. Good times.
I thought $7k seemed like a bit much for this one, but honestly it was worth a bit extra just to get to work on it in a dry garage and pressure wash it off in a car port lol. Not having to roll around in mud, gravel, or 4 feet high grass is nice and you’d spend a lot of coins at the car wash and get a worse job done without the pressure washer so that was very helpful too. I don’t really know anything about these particular cars but I really like the look they have, they’re unique
Whooohooo, love the Digs and Mook combo revivals, and a big congratulations with your engagement. You two are a force to be reckoned. Good luck and look forward to Part II.
I am NOT a GM guy but these Cutlasses you're finding are BEAUTIFUL!
Yes they are
me too. absolutely beautiful.
i AM a GM guy and i also LOVE these cutlasses
I'm not a GM guy either but yup that's a nice car
Nothing like a GM muscle car 😏😏
Congrats kids! You two mesh together perfectly. The future is very, very bright.
Yes, a match made in heaven!! Absoutely love these two.....
@@paulhyde1834 They're so natural I thought for a while they were already together-together, and if I was thinking that subconsciously then I know they're a perfect couple that will be together for the next century at least.
Congratulations to you both on your engagement. Mook you will have to get Kevin to give you the Cutlass as part of your engagement or wedding gift, looking forward to seeing part 2, keep up the great work.
Congratulations Kevin and Mook on your engagement. Wishing you all the very best for the future and many fun exciting memories. Great work and cheers for taking us along take care
Been watching yall for years. Keep it up loving the vids and how far yall have come
Congratulations on the proposal, y’all are awesome🙌🏻.
Heck, I work at a tire shop and love it when I change shredded, ancient tires because I know it’s going towards somebody’s prospect that’s about to start rollin! Love you guys, still subbed! Coming from Northern Arizona
Thats a fair point!!
Love these old cars. In the late 70s my cars were all from the 60s because I was a broke student. But now I wish I had those back.
I’m definitely having flashbacks to my 74 and 75 nova. Some great memories.
Love it guys! That car is in good condition considering how long it has been sitting.
Looking forward to the video series on the revival.
Congrats on the engagement , I hope you guys have a long life together filled with laughs and love
Congratulations on your engagement! It would be cool to have a picture or video of the two Cutlasses together!!!
Congratulations on the engagement Kevin and Mook!
Great looking car! I look forward to seeing the revival and the drive home! Thank you for offering international shipping in the future. I appreciate it from up here in Canada.
Wish you all the best Mook & Kevin, waitin to see you profit to your new family in the future. Wedding bolts and nuts as well as ring bells are waitin!
Congratulations on the engagement y’all . I’m so happy for y’all . Wish y’all the best . I’m actually getting married this weekend. A year in the making . Love the vids bro keep up the killer content Mook and Kevin .
This whole video made me weak in the knees. This is a near clone of my first car in high school,1981, and I so badly want another one. I'm sorry to say if I had known about it beforehand I would have driven from Tulsa to out bid you guys. Exciting video!
Many congratulations on your engagement, and wish you both health and happiness in the future 👍 Another fantastic car brought back to life (ever thought of getting some of the TH-cam detailer to have a go at professionally detailing the car? WD detailing/Ammo)? 😁🇬🇧
Congratulations Kevin & Mook, Wishing You Both Many Successful Years To Come!! I’m Loving That ‘72 Olds, Like The One You Gave Your Father, She’s A Beauty, Looking Forward To Seeing What’s Next Good Sir..
I love these cars! For me, it's the look and sound.
Congrats on getting engaged!! This olds looks pretty nice for the age! And nice you and mook came prepared! So cool what you are doing with the new merch!!
Kevin I own my grandmothers 1971 (year I was born) Olds Cutlass 442 driven only 65K until 1981 when she bought a Cadillac of which my brother has that. This 442 is in pretty good shape considering we live near Rockford IL and being a Midwester you know how the roads are here
great cars. this really deserves to be back on the road.
Good job guys can't wait for the next one. Love those old cars.
Love your video brother! But you should definitely use 2 stroke oil on first start up. Helps the valve train.
He didn't even check the oil before he cranked it 🤣🤣 cranked it then checked the oil genius mechanic, and this guy used to work on helicopters 🤣🤣🤣
@@BariLopesh yeah I know right he’s such a failure non of his vehicles ever work and run fine……see how ignorant that’s sounds? That’s you my guy
@@BariLopesh Everyone forgets and makes mistakes, chill out.
Yea because he's never done this before it's his first time ever.
@@BariLopesh You must be new here
I've been watching you and Mook having various adventures since you were little more than kids - especially to me, since I'm old. LOL I'm so happy to learn of your engagement, and wish you both a long happy life together, filled with critters and cars.
In the late 80s I picked up a 1971 Olds. Cutlass S that was white with black interior, black vinyl top, needing lots of love and attention. The car just gets under your skin, and knuckles at times, but loved being back on the roads. After rebuilding the engine the Cutlass knew he was back in the game, embarrassing Z-28 drivers, and staying on the bumper of Mustang GTs of the day. The faster, and more cleaned up he became the more weirder other drivers were around him. The car got hit 3 times by other drivers, the last taking him completely off the road again. I miss that car even today. What I got for $500 kept me mobile for 6+ years and was decent to me. Enjoy the car guys.
Congratulations you two all the way from New Zealand. You guys fit so well together. All the very best for the future. Always look forward to new vids!
I legit thought this was the same car but like a lost supercut. Congratulations to you both! This doesn't mean you get to drive the Booger truck!
You mean Booger?
@@buckberthod5007 yes, updated comment
I spent a couple of years in Tyler working in the East Texas and Louisiana oilfields. We had our camp at Lake Palestine. I took my wife up there to visit because I loved the country up there. Be safe on your travel back to your home base. Good to see you both again.
No one asked..
@@BariLopesh You wasted a whole 2 hours of your life to attck someone else? How nice. Have a great day. God bless you.
@@learning6253 Two hours? Da fuq you talking about, took me two seconds to reply to your cool story bruh 👌🏻
Nice find guys!!! And CONGRATS on your engagement!!! 🥰
When Mook wants to hold both wings... that's love..❤️
I had a 72 2dr notchback, 350 4bbl, I loved that car . Put Cragar SS aluminum rims dual exhaust on it.
Always a great night when I get the notification from you. Very informative video. Great job
Love the content bro keep up the good work ❤
Dude! 2 of my favorite people on all of TH-cam do a revival not 20 miles from my house and I don't even get to meet them! It's cool that it's a revival of a car that's been in East Texas it's whole life
I felt the same way when they said where they were 😂
@@smuredneck I know their way too busy to be bothered but it would've been cool run into them knowing I'll never end up in their neck of the woods
Nice find. Suggest you guys invest in some dollies to move your cars sideways, etc. Inexpensive hernia insurance. Keep on keeping these great classics in circulation. Congratulations!
Congrats on the engagement guys!
Congratulations on such a great find! I'm looking forward to seeing how she turns out through all your expertise. Keep up the great work Kevin and Mook 👍✌️🇺🇲
Wishing you and Mook all the happiness I've had for the last 35 years! When it's right it's right. Those will be over made some great v8s.
I had a 70 Supreme convertible, loved it. It handled well but was a nice soft ride. I had front discs, I recommend it. I think this was considered kind of the "gentleman's muscle car" it had more creature comforts than the comparable Chevrolets and Pontiacs. That Rochester 2-barrel was a great carb, the secondary is pretty big and you can tell when it opens up. You didn't overpay for that car, the price is pretty fair for you actually. If your dad is willing, he can repair the roof panels and I'd put another vinyl top on it so you don't have to do a perfect finish on the metal. It's going to stay dry from now on anyway. Congratulations on your business and channel and life, you've worked hard for it!
The sound of you going around the car pushing on the vinyl top... sends shivers down my spine. Similar situation on our 70 LeMans... just don't touch it pretend you don't know about it!
Gotta love that Oldsmobile Cutlass excellent time capsule
I hope you guys will have a great life together and I was waiting for this moment ever since Mook was first introduced on this show!!! Also, love the cutlass
Congratulations you 2 on the engagement. You guys are great for each other and will go far.
I hope you plan on keeping this, restore it. It would be really cool if you and your dad where at a car show/parade driving together.
I LOST THE RADIATOR IN MY 2003 S-10 parts store locally O’Reilly’s and Auto Zone were $340 for a radiator
I contacted ROCK AUTO and two days later delivered to my door $66 dollars for the same exact radiator part number matched
$340 or $66 I WENT WITH ROCK AUTO BECAUSE FIR THAT KIND OF SAVINGS I CAN WAIT TWO DAYS FOE SHO..
Great video.
Glad you had time to do another one as I imagine your day jobs get in the way of car fun.
God you guys keep pumping out the best content and it keeps getting better and better and I like that you guys don’t try and self censor and still have a good sense of humor. You gotta have a sensor of humor to work on old cars.
I whole heartedly agree that a good sense of humour is vital for fingering old vehicles and coping with all the crap life throws at you.
I love these old Cutlasses! Thanks for saving yet another one!
Congratulations to you Kevin & Mook on your Engagement may all your days be cruising down the highways in life ❤️❤️
That is a JEWEL on wheels!!!
You've just hit the Jackpot!!!
Congrats!!!
MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!!!
🛐🛐🛐🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😀
Congratulations on engagement. Love this barn find as well..
Omg you don’t know how lucky you are to find one in beautiful condition. When it’s polished it’s going to be so amazing. I’m so jealous.
Congratulations on your engagement, you guys rock, I look forward to your videos all the time, take care and be safe
Another great episode guys! Love those oldsmobile cutlasses, wish I could afford to restore one. It'd be a great weekend cruiser!
30:30
I just read his shirt for the first time and I absolutely love it.
"Happiness is having ONE WOMAN and MANY CARS."
for a Ford 70,000 miles it was wore out!! for an Oldsmobile 105,000 ..its just gettin broke in!!! Olds engines were 200,000 mile engines...and the Olds 350 cid..was the BEST engine goin....and no..Olds rarely burn oil..unless they have been really neglected!!!
Congratulations on the Engagement you two are my favorite TH-camrs without a doubt.
The interior of this car for sitting 23 years was incredible and the nicest I have seen of any car sitting that long
I always enjoy Mook's random corkiness in the videos you never know what she is going to say and I admire that
In my opinion Mook should definitely have the car so you can both have one.
I am looking forward to next week's video
Congrats guys! The restoration was great too!
Pull that old engine, LS swap it, and have the old man help on the body work. That car will make a beautiful resto-mod!
Mook’s real name may slip out during the pending nuptials. Otherwise it will be “Do you, Junkyard Mook, take Kevin to be your lawfully wedded husband?” Congrats Kids!!!!!!! Super Happy for you both!!!!!
Hell ya I'm from texas. Love the cutlasses
Nice Car a bit expensive but once your finished you will make a profit for Sure. Also btw it's about Time you put a Ring on her Finger CONGRATS to Both of you.
Hey I had one of these in the late 80s! Gold '72 Cutlass. Loved that car! Didn't have the louvers or vinyl, and the back end looked a little different. Someone did tell me once it had a '73 trunk and bumper. It has the 350 Rocket and there was enough room in the engine bay for you, me, a six pack and a pizza to work on it. The gold didn't look quite like this, but it had been a street parked New Bedford car so sun and salt air, and salted streets in the winter. I really loved that car.
After not taking care of his first 2 cars and them not lasting long, something clicked with my brother when he bought a mint 1972 Cutlass supreme. The car had just over 100 thousand miles when he got it. He kept that car for 2 decades and had over 300 thousand miles on it without rebuilding the transmission or engine. Still looked and ran mint as well. One of the many memories of my brother.
Bro, I'm watching this from South Africa, and I must say I love your videos dude. Love seeing you revive these old beauties, and putting them back on the road. Side note, Mook is so funny! Thanks for keeping me entertained and teaching me more and more every video. Keep doing what you doing man. We appreciate it! Gonna try and order one of your sweatshirts/hoodies, and send it over here with some friends or family that is gonna come o er from the states!
Another great video! Good to see Mook! Hope she works on the Burnt Nova soon
On 72 Oldsmobile 105,000 miles it just has got broken if the car has been taken care of it's still good to go it ain't has no wire whatsoever if it's been taken care of but a mechanic or 46 years I've never saw Oldsmobile engine more out at 105 miles
A rocket 350 will last much longer than you think. My Gma bought one brand new and it ran 35 years and 295k miles. My bro had a 75 cutlass with rocket 359 and it had about the same mileage
Maybe I missed it, but step #1 should have been to change the oil and filter and prime the system. Why take a chance on a spun main or rod bearing or flattened cam lobe on an engine that's been sitting for over two decades? Otherwise, it's great to see these old cars brought back to life.
Are you guys boyfriend girlfriend brother sister husband and wife what comment below and let me know what's going on inquiring mind want to know ? LOL
Congratulations my friends on the engagement. It was about time to invest in the hose clamp industry and finally making an honest woman out of Mook, Heck yeah!
The wife and I enjoyed this build. She also loved your t shirt about happiness is one woman and many cars. She found one like it for me. Funny, I like it too.
It’s coming up quite well quite nice need to do is it again I’m not cleaning some places do it coming off it need to polish it as well eventually need to go over again with the water keep up the good work with it if I was you can you give it back and will keep that looks nice 😊😊😊😊
Nice find! Now comes the fun mechanic stuff. Good luck! Looking forward to the next episode. Thank you for the great video!
So should we call you Mr. Mook, or call her Mrs. Digs?
Awesome car for sure ! Very curious what you are planning to do with it 👍👏🏻😀
Since it's a 72 cutlass the white stuff is some bam bam illegal sugar from Columbia lol😂
I love the look of these yrs of Cutless
you are used to Fords..60,000 mile engines👎...Oldsmobile were a 200,000 + mile engine
If that Olds, had had a 3 speed manual transmission, and white seats I would have had a heart attack. But when he said it had been a one owner, and that the original owner had died I knew it was not the car I was hoping it would not be. As out of all the Olds car’s I have seen in my life, there is only one out there with a 3 speed manual with white seats. And that was the one that belonged to my mom’s twin brother. The one you have is not it, so I let out a sigh of relief other wise I’d have been plotting to seal it from you. Lol
Love the"we dont want to rub this dirt into the paintwork it might scratch it", I know, lets wash it with an insanely powerful washer and blast all the dirt straight into the paint!
I wonder if you coated the vinyl top with white flex seal if it would hold up
those cars will not need a rebuild in just 60 to 105 thousand, they ran fine way past the miles you mentioned.
OLDS Great cars, and road trips ! Love your TH-cams ! MOOK & KEV !
Her belching like a man just did it for me. Love the car, but that belch was a major turnoff,
Just watch the video. Thank you for the content. I have a 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass with disc in the front. Lol
