Best episode ever! No stupid arguments just good cowork👍🏻
I stopped watching because of the made up drama. Focus on the cars, forget the crap.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,well said.....I stopped watching this show years ago because of the idiotic way the episodes were produced..........Today I can actually take Mark seriously..........
EXACTLY - I am one of the most DIE HARD Mopar guys on the planet and I COULD NOT WATCH this show!!!!! I even tried DVR'ing it and fast forwarding through the phony drama, the go-kart races, the arguing with "the monkeys in the shop"..... STILL hated it. (I ran a Mopar club for 6 years, my own restoration parts business for 10 years, and went to be the general manager for a BIG Mopar-Only salvage yard in the midwest......)
Well Done Mark and crew. I love that you've built your hometown up and didn't leave. Your community must be proud of the work you guys do!
8 million Californians moved in and took over...
This is a really cool car.
i actually have a 1970 Coronet R/T convertible that has a few of the same codes, VIN# WS27U0G, FT6, J45, R22 ...440HP 4BBL, console automatic, 8.75 3:23 Sure-Grip.
i have a little bit of a build sheet that was under the drivers seat.
i think the car that you featured here was in a book of other rare Hemi Mopars that were documented.
Thanks for showing this car to us.
Buzz.
Awesome job guys, makes me miss my old 71 Charger SE 383 Magnum, it was painted factory with the Lemon Twist yellow with the halftop vinyl roof and factory rally wheels, when they came out with the 7 digit lic plate in Washington, I was lucky enough to get the plates in yellow that said "CHARGER" I was so proud of those. I belonged to the "MOPAR MUSCLE CLUB OF AMERICA" and went to many Mopar meets with that Charger, they wrote it up in their news letter as one of the "Prettiest Chargers of that year they had ever seen". Man was I proud!!! When I got that car it was in really bad shape. I was only 17, but I had some good friends in the body repair business and we basically restored it, luckily the quarter panels were flawless but the passenger door was creased in the middle from top to bottom and the subframe was also creased, like someone slid it sideways and took out a 4x4 post with the door, the motor was shot so I found a true 71 440 HP motor out of a 1971 Dodge Polara Washington state Patrol car that was wrecked and sitting in a wrecking yard, rebuilt it and slid it under the hood, I worked in an auto repair shop at the time so I did all the suspension and alignment work myself, it sat low and looked so mean, and boy was she fast and furious. sadly after owning it for 13 years and selling it to a good friend he was driving home in it after work and somone pulled out in front of him, to avoid hitting them he locked it up and pitched it sideways right into a tree stump hitting the stump between the drivers door and fender wrapping it around that stump, the firewall was accordianed in 6 inches and the window piller was pushed straight up and down buckling the roof, the gap between the pass door and fender was 4 inches. It was bent in half. It died that day, I cried.
Sweet
The car came back with tons of mistakes awesome job lol Will sucks.
WELL WHAT A SMALL WORLD , BACK IN 1983- 86 MY UNCLE SOLD ME HIS BLACK ON BLACK 71 CHARGER SE 383 AUTO SLAP - STICK LEATHER SEATS , NOT A DRAGSTER BY ANY MEANS , BUT A NICE RIDING , FREEWAY HAULER !!! LOVE THE MOPAR SCENE WITH THE WHITE INTERIORS BLUES , WHITES , RED , YELLOW , GREEN , BLACK , WHAT A TIME IT WAS IN THE LATE 60’S AND EARLY 70 ‘S BEAUTIFUL CARS , WOMEN , FOOD , !!!
Crying with you! What an incredible car and story you have rebuilding it. I would be inconsolable. What a loss to the motor world. And to you.
Found in a junkyard 3 decades ago. I'm really surprised that the car still had the original Hemi and 4 speed still under the hood. Hats off to the gentleman who seen this beast in the scrap pile, knew what it was and saved it from the crusher. That car is super rare. That man is the real hero of this story.
Mark said the engine and trans weren't with the car, a friend found this car here in the Ottawa, Ontario Canada and did the first resto. The original engine has been found in the Montreal Quebec Canada
Does anybody know what happened to the other Corenet?
@@gordonwelcher9598 burnt beyond repair, I think
@@rtraymondMaybe they can buy that back, restore it, and display it next to the car.
Especially considering the car was here in a Canadian junkyard 😢,we Canadians are damn wasteful don't you think 😅,🎉nice work!!
Fantastic episode, some really funny stuff here and thank you for minimal fake drama and actually showing some hands-on stuff.
It's spectacular that the money and desire is out there to save these cars. Kudos.
Truly beautiful Coronet. Well done
That's a truly amazing car. You guys do the best job on bringing these jems back to life.
I'm really surprised that this car was even ordered by a customer. It's one of the biggest odd balls I've ever heard of. A Hemi 4 speed convertible with the track pack??? It's a race car, but it's not. Lol
you mean turds.
One of the most entertaining and informative shows on TV today!
Outstanding work. I love the perfection. It makes my OCD heart smile!
I love this, it’s always great to see an old girl get saved. It’s crazy to think about how many cars are just hiding in a field or a barn just waiting to be rediscovered
meant i rather see the cars restored rather then see them in one of the YT chanels dedikated to show rair old cars going in the crusher.
The sad part about that are the people who would rather watch it rot away than to sell it to someone who wants to save it.
Trouble is, those of us who would care and cherish for these old classics can no longer afford them. I had a 67 corvette coupe bought new and had to sell in the seventies as I was married with a family to support by then and so needed something a little roomier. Got a Plymouth mini van. I’m in my 70’s now and would love to have one sitting in my garage but they’re out of my price range now. Finding a rare classic in a field isn’t as easy as it sounds and then you have to you drag it home and spend thousands on it.
I had worked for Puyallup Chrysler Plymouth from early 1968 -1971. Every once in a while we would get in a new Road Runner with no carpeting, poverty hubcaps, no radio, but a 426 Hemi and either a four speed or just a column shift ,no console. Somebody was going drag racing. I remember the salesmen going to the auction picking up white 440 convertible GTX's that had been brought up from L.A. for the impulsive summer time market up in the N.W. A fascinating time to be around those cars. At the time I was just a kid with a 1964 Pontiac Lemans 4 speed car with a pumped motor with good heads with screw in rocker studs and good lifters. I was smoking most of those MOPARS with that tin Indian Pontiac which really use to tick them off.
LOL in your dreams with a GTO boat 😂
My brother had a 70 challenger 383 magnum auto it ran 15.6 Cars where not fast in the sixties and seventies
The car ran extremely hard and the 64 model was not the boat the GTO evolved to in the later years. It was easy to smoke them too. My first experience getting beat by a Dodge was a 64 with a wedge motor with dual 4 barrels cross ram , that car flat got with the program .@@MidnightPolaris800
Not nearly as fast right off the show room floor as they are today. The little 64 Pontiac lemans I was referring to had the motor balanced, Jahns 12 to 1 pistons, isky camshaft, good lifters, double valve springs, screw in rocker studs,(that was the weak part of stock Pontiac motors , they would either float the valves or pull a pressed in rocker stud) roller rockers, bigger valves, the heads were ported, had high rise manifold with double pumper holley with mechanical secondaries, mallory dist. and ignition, hooker headers, turbo mufflers, 3.9 gears, 4 sp. car. Would always consistently lay down mid 13 sec. quarter mile runs so the stock Mopars were pretty easy prey for the car on the street.
@@cooperparts
I was around a bunch of muscle and I doubt you not. Most cars were slow and you had one hooked up to beat most of them.@@brucegambill6303
The best content thanks from NZ
Outstanding work!!
I love your "LITTLE DEAD WAGON", my dad (Dick Branstner) built the first "LITTLE RED WAGON", he had it for a year before Bill "Maverick" Golden got it. Jay Howell was the first driver, Jay Howell also built the DART CHARGER for my dad Roger Lindamood drove COLOR ME GONE for him. I enjoy your work, keep it up! Bob
I can't wait to see your christine but what I'm wondering since you always build them right as you put it what do you consider right for that project usually you shoot for exactly like it started but like with lil red wagon your not trying to put it back how it started your trying to restore all its modification s as well so do you do Christine to where she started at as a old junker sitting in a yard or to the point in movie when he looked at it for first time and realized it was finished and how awesome it looked because remember any one of those would be a mistake because the car in the movie was not the right car to begin with but its the only one we have ever seen we have never seen the real Christine because the er Book has no pictures but Mr king described it in great detail good enough they felt they could build it from his words and they did a good job other then the fact Christine is without a doubt a 4 door 58 fury not a 2 door so keep that in mind when you build her right
Doing what you know...and love...That is a good life. Hopefully everyone is inspired and motivated by your actions.
Very nice work love the car and the truck thanks 👍😊
One of my cousins who used to live in the suburbs of Detroit was a race car mechanic who worked on the original Dodge Little Red Wagon drag truck. It was the world's first wheelie truck, and was the fastest truck in the world at that time. I remember seeing it in a film strip in elementary or junior high school, back in the '70s. And my cousin had the drivers door off the original Color Me Gone stock car hanging in his garage. The driver, Roger Lindamood was an early test driver for the Little Red Wagon Dodge D100. I think my cousin knew from back then. He was considered one of Michigan’s top 10 oval-track drivers when he retired from the sport. My older brother had a scale model of Color Me Gone, and we couldn't believe it when we saw the door of the real car hanging in our cousin's garage.
Very knowledgeable craftsman. I hope that he is with us for years to come.
Beautiful car .
Makes me miss my 70 super bee.
Mark you are one awesome guy.
Just a heads up, each shift had their own paint colors. The reason there are paint marks on a part, bolt, clip or whatever is to so that the items were installed and verified. I work at the last Powertrain part plant left. Can you tell me where it is and its name?
Great job as always guy's! I truly love this car, I had a 69 Coronet 440 and hate I ever sold it all those years ago. I love you guys and keep up the fantastic job. 👍
Excellent job. Well done guys
Beautiful Coronet & Awesome Job! I Hope My 71 Chevelle Malibu Get's Some Love Like This. Thanks for the Great Video Also
Somewhere out there someone has my '70 A66 4spd Challenger I owned back in the early '80's, although the original 340 had been replaced with a 383 by the time I got it. The late 70's/early 80's were a great time to be young. Muscle cars in great shape could be had for a song, I traded a '68 F100 straight up for the Challenger. FT6 Dark Tan Poly, black vinyl top, black interior and a black bumble bee stripe. It had always been garage kept and waxed regularly. I just hope nobody has ever fixed Michelle's little half moon butt imprints in the trunk lid...... Like I said, it was a great time to be young.
At 39:43 there is a rust spot that formed after the alignment on the upper right control arm bolt and someone forgot to put some paint there. When moving them ex-enter bolts, paint always get scratched if grease was not applied when the parts was originally mounted. I have my reservations about not removing the storage/transport paint from the aftermarket parts before coating them. I have seen too many body parts starting to flake when that paints lets go after some years. Other then that, all work looks great.
5 years to freshen up? Luckily the guy is still in good health
I work at a hot rod shop and we have cars that have Been at shop for 2 years. These older cars take a lot of time, money and parts trust me it takes a long time to restore a car 100 percent the right way and then parts are another issue as well
I'm sure a shop of the size also has a lot of other customers and cars to be done. Super awesome getting to do that
I'm just some dude who took a little over 3yrs to make a project car drivable and test it out before final finishing.
I dread that I see like 2yrs at my pace to do that final finishing.
So you've never restored a car I see
Lucky he’s still alive waiting 5 years, looks like the guy is in his late 60’s early 70’s. Also Sounds like they got way too many irons in the fire for it to take that long to restore it.
Used to have a yellow Duster. Put shocks with helper springs on it, took the backseat out and filled it up with newspapers for recycling.
Later I blew a soft plug and the engine smelled like burned oil. After I traded it in an officer said someone shoved it over a cliff. When I told him where I traded it in he said he would take care of it.
Had friends with a Barracuda that was nice. If I remember correctly they had a big station wagon with a rear facing backseat. Those were the days.
I respect the work y’all do, knowing the exceptional quality builds and how meticulous each and every detail is and out of probably 30 or more episodes I found the first 2 imperfections in any of your builds. 1 being on the coronet and the other the little dead wagon.
The coronet is very minor, but the exhaust on the left side is slightly lower than the right. Nothing major but the wagon… what in the world is up with that body work? 😳😳 I saw several dimples and waves.. admittedly I haven’t seen the episode(s) about the wagon so hoping y’all didn’t do the body work.
Also, what makes it hop so bad? Im guessing the gearing has a lot to do with it?
Guys, I’ve never witnessed such attention to that kind of detail in person! Your entire team is pretty miraculous. May God continue to bless your lives 👍
looks like one of willard mccleans junkyards up in canada he had a bunch of stuff there and in maine he got busted with a bunch of poached deer under some christmas trees one time going across the border. that guy had some crazy stuff
My friend in the Bronx had a 440 '70 Coronet RT convertable. Some one put really high gearing in it for the "street". Have no idea where it went.
I do minor restoration work for collectible items at a friends store, it’s rewarding to repair something and add value to his business. We always disclose a detailed summary of my work and all materials used so there’s no deception and we price the item accordingly, just nice to save it from the junk bin.
I love the attention to detail Mark and everyone at Graveyard cars have. Hmmm. Now I know who I want to restore my 1969 F5 440 automatic Plymouth GTX.
I miss my 1970 Duster 340 4 speed I remember going to dodge buying a pinion snubber that was adjustable what a fun time
I graduated in '87...my best friend took (Shop)auto-repair in highschool which lead me to his & eventually my love of Mopar. Between the years of 1985-92ish I had some real fun beaters. Now they'd be worth a little coin but back then they were a dime a dozen if you knew where to look. We use to whoop on those big blocks and if they blew or we found a gem in the junk yard it only cost us a buck a cube inch at the u-pull yard..Minus the Hemis, yeah sometimes we'd stumbled upon a few here and there..To rich even back then for our blood so we stuck mainly to the 440 and the 383's. Can you imagine $1.00 per cube even though no guarantees it ran, that was a steal. 69 superbee, 71 superbee, 70or71? Dodge demon i think was a 340 ,71charger, and my two favorites and probably the ones i dumped most of my money into were the 70 Cuda 440-4speed pistol grip and my 69 charger came with 318 but quickly had the worked 383 stuffed into it with an auto(727)if i remember right. Every one of those cars ran and were pretty much original a dent here and a little rust peppered throughout but with a little TLC we had all of them smoking those tires on the speed bumps!!! Lol.. Thanks for letting me share🙏 Had I only kept One of those cars... BTW.. My dads car "family daily" was a 69 Super bee. 383 auto with the bench seat.. now thats cool! Until the 3rd child around 1980 he sold it for $500.00 bucks.. With a new "gold" paint job,minus the black strips.. Ill always remember that day it drove away😂
Enjoyed video ! My first car 67 Coronet RT.
This car was found in a scrapyard in Quebec by Gerry Lefave and Ray Dupuis, What a find. I remember seeing it back in the Day around Ottawa
I'm surprised that the original engine and transmission were still in the car. That's where the value lies
@gregorylyon1004 They weren't in the car when it was found, Mark says so
Does anybody know what happened to the other Coronet?
@@gordonwelcher9598 We don't have the other cars serial number. It probably ended up in the crusher like so many other rare cars. Lol
@@rtraymond None original engine probably kills the cars value quite a bit ??
Holy shmokes! Stunned. 3 points:
1: Their restoration work is sublime. It's way beyond the best I could even dream of doing.
2: The guy who owns the car I really like him. Dunno who he is, but his authenticity and demeanor was truly touching.
3: When she wears her hair down... Vavoom!! 👍🏼
You do great work, my only regret is that I turned down a 'cuda, no engine or interior but had a shaker hood with scoop, i should have bought it and stored it if i knew then what i know now ☹️
I owned a 1968 Coronet 440 RT in red with a black vinyl top and 727 in 1980! Sold it for a couple hundred bucks with a blown motor in 1982.
That Cornet has the same color as my 1966 Plymouth Satellite 383, 4 speed hardtop with matching color leather interior. I bought my car new right off the showroom floor in Lansing, Michigan. Wish I had my old car back today.eed with mat
That looks like the car that was in one of the Mopar magazines back in the late 80's or early 90's.
Dear Mr. MW I wish you a long life , you are a unique school which it’s rare to find these days. I’m one of your fans from Saudi Arabia and wish you all the best and keep up the good professional and amazing work.
caught a glimpse of the 67 GTX Convertible. When I was 17 I rode in my friends 67 GTX with a 383 Magnum. It was a light blue color and was awesome. We skipped school one day and he blew the engine! We pulled a 440 out of a retired state trooper fury and had it back on the road in a week. My dad's girlfriend had a 67 Belvedere. Black on black. It only had a 318 in it but it was going to mine until she wrecked it. The friends GTX sold for 800.00 bucks! The Belvedere went to the crusher. I was heartbroken. I also had a 63 Dodge Polara that I was going to rebuild when i graduated from basic training but my dad had it scrapped before i got home. I will never at the age of 62 be able to afford either of these cars today and watching these shows reminds me that the cars of today are junk.....Thanks for all you do to keep these relics on the road.....
"the car was Without a Doubt-- PROBABLY".... lol It is the rarest of its kind, no probably about it. Looks amazing.
OK, The engine, what are the details of what caused it to drop oil pressure?
If buying a new ride with the choices: the RT! It ticks all the boxes! Beautiful!
Beautiful!
Hey Mark and crew great episode! I can tell you from experience exactly where you will be at 66. Doing the same thing you are now ! Ask me how I know hahaha! Have a few old rides in my stable and they all get regular exercise in the summer. Still doing all the resto work too. I call it car aerobics for all the unnatural stretching you have to do. Cheers from Western Canada.
Hey Eric, I prefer the western union splice solder connection with heat shrink, but in a pinch I like to use non insulated butt connectors and then heat shrink over top. I find the insulated connectors even when using the correct crimp tool has the tendency to leak smoke. I would like to start my own channel for heavy duty repairs. I am a veteran heavy equipment technician journeyman. If you have any advice for me to start an hd repair youtube channel I would surely be thankful. Thanks for the content Mr. O you are a wizard of a mechanic and I love your channel, keep up the good work.
Just once it would be nice if they tell us how much they charged to restore a car.
1.4 million !
If you have to ask you probably don't have the money and that includes me 😂 😂
Amazing job ❤
Cute- Gearhead- In the family business- What a catch Mark is! LOL Magnificent Dodge!
I remember checking out that very same car back in 1982 at a NeHOA meet in Rochester, NY. Some where I know I have a picture or two of it. At that time, it was believed to be one of one built.
Amazing car.I live in Oregon where their shop is. This shop is well known in the Mopar world.
The man waited 5yrs, 5hrs, and 5 seconds to see his car
I know a guy who has one of these
Coronets.. I couldn’t see what he saw in it… but here we are.. don’t know what year it is.. but I believe it’s a convertible.. he’s since retired and moved..
If you look up Auto Archaeology on TH-cam, Ryan Brutt shows a guys yard that is covered in old HEMI cars, to include a '68 HEMI Coronet R/T convertible, the same color combo as this '70.
I’ve collected and restored several E Bodies, and some Extremely Rare 70 Challengers Covert triple black 440 A/C car, it ALWAYS matters, if the original Heart is not in the Beast… I know for someone trying to have a one of one, but to not have the pedigree with engine and Transmission, is a shame, but maybe worth trying to search every one you can, for the match.. a friend searched for 10 Yrs, and found his engine 6 states away, added $150K to his Cuda Convertible. This car is rare and unreal, don’t get me wrong, I’m jealous lol!! Always loved this body style, missed a lime green one by one week, 25yrs ago, sat in a field for years, finally drove by and knocked on the door, told me not for sale, but my visit fired them up on the idea, a week later, it was gone out of the yard, sold that week! Arrgghhh!! :) can’t find em all.. stay safe!
As soon as i saw the color, and it being a vert. I knew it had to be the lost 1of 2 426 4spd Cornet verts in this color. This car was missing for a long long time. My old American Muscle book that i got for Christmas when i was 10 in 2000 is literally the only reason i know this lol.
Built a tribute, mish mash, '70 Coronet starting back in ' 87, that my older sister had originally bought back in '74. Originally started as a 383 Coronet 500 Convertible. I call it a mish mash because my brother-inlaw just kept throwing money at it and it was up to me to add, or have added, every factory option that could be put on it, even if it would have never come with it. Ram Air hood with the 2 scoops ( Grabber fiberglass air box attached to the underside of the hood) with the proper sealed air cleaner, new quarters with original side scoops, gauge package, 15" factory rally wheels, had a donor '70 Super Bee and numerous R/T parts, including both rear panels and tail lights. Complete engine rebuild and rearend . Paint inside and out, underneath and new top. ( had enough parts for an R/T or a Super Bee ) Don't know what youl'd call the finished result. R/T B ? 🤣
its the looks to camera from mark that im watching for
The first owner of this car was a doctor, he lived in Montreal...
Da blue one.❤😂😂😂
Awesome car and I love the little dead wagon
I saw 68? I think Fury Sport for sale yesterday
Guy has spare glass for it too. It's in damn good shape with no running gear
OUTSTANDING!!!!!
One of these guys is laughing all the way to the bank.
Imagine how many desirable cars were destroyed back in the "cash for clunkers" days.
Supposedly the cutoff age was ca 1980 hence the older stuff being safe
This man is the best at what he does a bit odd but in a good way😃
The R/T is that rare because who would order a car with that configuration in 1970 ??? That car new must have been $6000 dollars as delivered. And that car was definitely a custom order. Who would order a Hemi 4 speed convertible with the track pack??? It's a race car, but it's actually not because a convertible is way heavier than a stand car. And that car is not even streetable. It's probably doesn't have a choke for cold starting. I can't believe that anyone would order a car like that in Canada. 6 mpg on a good day. Can you imagine how much the payments were on a beast like this?? No wonder it's a 1 of 2 package. That doesn't really surprise me.
A lot of GI's returned from VietNam and paid cash for many rare cars. They read HotRod mags over there and ordered one up as a bucket list . I know of several. And a few that died in their cars cause they pushed it too the limit.
i love love love how it takes 3 people to put a shock on. 12:35
Mark Worman....pure American cheese. FYI i was in Canadia (BC) in 1990 and i took a ride in 'Zims Bucket' a little white pick up like the Dead Wagon, it had a Plymouth 7.2 litre in the back, Zim wheelied it a couple of times for me, thats when the steel mesh floorboards made sense...so you can see where you're going whilst pointed at the sky ! He wheelied it so hard the wheelie bars bent. I got photo's somewhere. I wonder what ever happened to Zim and his bucket ?
Worth $1.5M? Holy Moly! What did he pay for it and I wonder what it cost him for Mark and crew to freshen it up (5 years later)? Great job Mark and great save of an historic car.
Don't believe everything you see in a video title.
I do like that color, think it looks quite snazzy :)
That’s what happened to TONS of Old performance cars before they were even considered being even remotely collectible classics.
Bloody amazing.
One dumb question, why not paint those stripes on? Surely better than the stick ons, or do they take away from originality.
Originality. One of the few things GYC doesn't go original with is slapping on the decals crooked like the factory did. 😁
Yeah the factory back then was sloppy, you had to be because time and technology was limited,
unlike some robots and computers that modern assembly plants use, there isn't too many robots at least at the Honda factory I worked at but some people think its all robots and thats just not true lol 80% humans id say there is a lot of lift assist units we used
I saw on youtube on a 95% original, first owner boss 302 69 mustang the factory even left masking tape in the trunk gutter attached to the quarter panels in there still after 50 years, they also used bondo or lead to fix any mistakes on the body
back in the day I had a 70 Coronet conv. that was the 500, it had the 318, a really nice bench seat @ an armrest, was a great cruiser, ran the crap out of it though and recently read that there were only 1300 of them were produced
My name is Erhard Nielsen .I liked your schop . I remember my second car dodge coronet 1968 two doors four forty carburetor carter termocuad for barrel is very nice cars
the thing i like about GYC is well mark can be rough mouthed sometimes but he dont scream throwing part and tools in every episode and its not some scripted if the car is not done tomorrow the company is done and the bank is taking everything.
GYC we all know it sometimes with some cars take years of in detail restaration or if the car is like a forrest find might need almost a rebody job.
Also as the “Dodge” on the side removed or not original?
Had a yard full of dusters and darts back in the day. Wish I would have hung on to em now. Never imagined how much they would be worth. 😮
I never knew the back seat covers the “power steering pump”. Only in a dodge I suppose
Heard that too
Had a real dodge 69 r/t convert with factory functional ram air hood back in the day. white interior.
Got it for $600. Hate to think what it would be worth now.
Had a 70 coronet 500 440 auto same color as this one. Sold it in thelate 80s my ex bought it in the mid 90s just to have it crushed. I so miss that car.
Hell froze over, Mark didnt act like his normal ass of a person.
nice job men
when he was talking about being color blind. I have a mild green / red color blindness but I can tell the difference between green and red without issue. My issue is the one day my brother and I was playing video games on the tv. I told him to click on the blue circle and he kept telling me there wasn't a blue one. here it was green but to me it looked blue. but other shades of green and blue I can tell the difference. Just some shades if they are close I can not tell the difference.
Hey mark, great episode, love that color too.
Hey man, i wanna come work for you, what say you ?
That is pretty bad ass to drive down your childhood street in a real car that you built as a model it doesn't get much better than that
This brings on the incentive to become a millionaire.
i love these stories i remember when a co worker said his nieghbor has a winter car for sale i was looking for one, i went there quess what 1966 first year for belvedere 3 on the tree hemi ,, $250 dollars ,,, used one winter and sold it for $300 in the spring who does that ,,it was in 1972
Seen one in a field few years back guy wouldn’t sell it had the RT on the side an was a convertible
When I was in high school my friends brother had bought a new 69 Hemi, 4 speed convertible Coronet RT. It was a darker brown with black top and black rear stripe. I always knew it was rare but not how rare, maybe only one made or a couple.
Any idea on this, also a Canadian car.
Current motor isn't original, but from the sounds, that current unit is a MoPar crate motor that has never been in any other car,.. Closest you're going to get to numbers matched, without chasing down the original parts. And even if found and bought, pulling the driveline wouldn't add much extra value, but it'd be nice to have them displayed next to the car in the garage.
All the production line marks and stickers is a nice touch, a lot of places wouldn't bother, but these show it's about as close to Factory Fresh as it's ever going to be.
absolutlely the best, these guys are artists
Thats A Car PAINTER way awesome Sir guy painter dude bro
Nice ride.
