Sleeperdude and family are back with another roadtrip video. After rescuing this 82 Mercury Zephyr from a grandmas yard where it had been sitting for 15 years we are taking it on its first road trip. 250 miles, and half of it will be in the dark! Will we finally have a successful road trip? Will I have to sell another car on the side of the road? We are traveling to the Shades of the Past car show in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. This unfortunately is the last show they are going to be doing after a 40 year run. I have been going to this show my whole life and it's sad to see it go away.

The children will never forget those little things like the wipers,,such awesome parents,,awesome children,, awesome video
You're right about the wipers... when I was a little kid in the early 1960's my dad fixed the wipers on our 57 Chevy and we had the only one that had the wipers going the same direction instead of together at the center, then apart. Don't know how he did that. Still remember it from then.
exactly. just a great family
Got to get pink voltwagon and black Mercedes. They odor you. Josh you did good. I am in transition trying to feel comfortable finding him. I have done it my way forever. What gets a guy over the hump to feel comfortable in a uncomfortable world. Changes hurt I am uncomfortable. I did it my own way. How do you take that first step.
YES! we need station wagons back in our lives! One of the biggest mistakes America ever made was stopping production of the wagon! It truly saddens me that you can't go to the car lot and pick one up for the family anymore😭
Exactly
Maybe one day he'll come revive my 87 Buick estate bout the only guy I would sale it to. When he broke down in the RV I was about ready to get her started drive to South Dakota and trading for the motorcycle just temporarily so he could continue on and come back to the RV. I tried to scrape up as much cash as I could when I saw the RV go up for sale for $3,500 on the Craigslist. I want to real bad get her back to him some way somehow do some horse trading or something. I said I'm almost every video but these little clips back into Tennessee are the closest thing I got to being home these days

You're a nice example of the American family spending time together and living the moment with what they have, much respect to you ! Peace from France 👍
Thank you we are blessed
Love how you and the wife make your family the first priority. From your pa, dad, you/wife, and kids are all so loving and respectful towards each other. Tell Ralphie to snap that wrist on the basketball shot. Keep up the great work on the content
Your episodes just keep getting better and better. Y’all are the best!
Thank you
Ford will definitely hire you as an engineer after that repair .
Hahahahaha
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a rainy trip.
That started from the goat farm
aboard this Mercury ship.
The mate was a mighty sailing boy,
the skipper brave and sure.
Four passengers set out that day,
for a one hour tour.
a one hour tour.
The weather started getting rough,
the wiper motion stopped,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
the Zephyr would be lost,
the Zephyr would be lost....
So this is the tale of our castaways,
they're here for a long, long time.
They'll have to make the best of things,
it's an uphill climb !
thank you all! you've made many people....very happy! peace.
Thank you
Imagine telling the original owner the day they bought this car that in 40 years another family would be driving the car hours across Tennessee.
Couldn't say that with the new cars
@@jeremybreinig4782 no you can't. Nothing built in last couple decades will still run in 40 years
@@jeremybreinig4782 Thats unfortunately true. With a select few you might get lucky and could pull off a 40 year stretch, but it would be a very very select few.
@@jeremybreinig4782 I think cars today will last 40 easily. Back then a car would be rusted out in ten years easy. At least today a 10 yo car can be like new. Problem is, people throw away perfectly good cars because they’re tired of an old model. They don’t fix or rebuild motors anymore. Remember when Sears and Montgomery wards had dozens of garage doors fixing cars?
@@IcelanderUSer todays cars dont rust as much but to do motor or trans takes tools most people dont have like 5k Doller scan tools just to bleed brakes on my 2011 impala
Fabulous family! You and wifey doing the windshield wiper ingenuity....hilarious! you sure know to have fun!
Thank you
I have tied shoe laces to the wipers to make them work
I have quite a few channels that I follow religiously. But SLEEPERDUDE IS MY FAVORITE!!! I’m a father of 7 and grandfather of 5 and the family dynamics of your channel is what this country is missing. Keep it up because you are going to be a very large channel before long
Thank you we really appreciate it. I am blessed
The part when you used the USB cables to connect the wipers had me spitting out my drink. I don't think I laughed that loud at anything else in the last month. A big thanks 🙏 for helping me de-stress from the the world news👍You guys Rock!
That was a very entertaining trip!!! Sweet vehicles!!! Happy to see the zephyr made the trip without breaking down!!! Loved seeing the kids passed out in back!!!
My father passed away a long time ago but he was born in Tennessee and his way of parenting was very similar to yours. Sarcastic wisecracks, always teasing us but being sweet at the same time. I love it!!! This reminds me of my childhood. ❤❤❤
13:26 the reason it pops is because the potentiometer inside contacts are dirty. If you clean that it won't make the pop sounds anymore and it will smoothly change volume and frequency! Handy for fixing some heaters or AC units too if they are using a potentiometer
Ok thanks for the info
I was a little worried when "these boots are made for walkin" came on the radio but she made it flawlessly ! I glad you guys had fun.
Those windshield wipers were not having it ! They work great until you need them. Defrost towel, always in an old car ! Looked like a lot of fun !
My favorite spot is Cades Cove.If we stop there, I will kiss the ground. I don't want this trip to end.😁👍
I went back and watched your old videos. Comparing them to your more recent ones, you seem so much happier and relaxed. The degree of family involvement increasing is very noticeable. Very happy for you and your family. Love the videos.
Glad you like them!
The zip tie holding the wiper together brought back so many memories. My friend had a 84 camaro and there were body panels held on by zip ties. 🤣 Great trip guys!
Watching this, I think I might have had as good a time as did your family. Thanks.
Thank you
Love your vids,your a coool dude! I learned(totally by accident) that an intermittant flashing,alternator/battery light can be as simple as a bad battery connection.
Yes, yes, yes, bring back the station wagon with the luggage rack on the roof. I have very fond memories of us kids playing in the back. A traveling playroom.
I totally agree
Thank you all so much for the good clean family fun. And the cars. God bless you all. Niall Ireland 👍✋
What a fun video! Glad y’all made it there and back safe! I’ll never look at my phone charger without remembering this video!😂😂
Thank you for your APPRECIATION for your subscribers Josh
I’m soon to be homeless and I can watch your videos and all my worries disappear, thank y’all for the amazing videos and sharing your beautiful family with me. Travel safe and love, hugs and prayers to y’all ♥️🙏🏼❣️
"Nothing's cheap here"... "Your here" 🤣🤣 I spit my ice coffee out. Lost it! You guys are great!!
I was watching this half asleep and missed that...any idea on a timestamp?

The alignment of that steering wheel would make me insane.
had 80 Grand Am, same issue, when tilt steering. Got tired of fixing it and replacing engine a couple years back, gave it up to donation.
Yeah , I noticed that on the first video.. and was thinking I’d adjust that.. before long as it would drive me nuts.. lol
Me too lol I would of had it put back in the right position with the alignment after putting the new tires on lol
I believe that the steering wheel is also UPSIDE DOWN !!!!! The larger gap should be at the top of the wheel not the bottom.
@@crazyoilfieldmechanic3195 yes , the cruise control buttons should be on the top .
I take a motorcycle trip up there every year. Beautiful country side. Awesome family trip.
The wiper make do, priceless! To bad about Pigeon Forge going away, a perfect family outing.
I'm all for the sedan or wagon again so many memories 💖 I absolutely loved this video
Exactly
@@Sleeperdude I love you guys
Last time I had a linkage failure like that on the wipers, I tore part out a plastic sack and wrapped that round the spike the arm pushed onto before reseating the arm. It worked for a few days until the new linkage arrived
SleeperDude and family! On the road again. Tucked together in The Z7. When you take your family. A long test drive will show those things that needed more attention. Braking down along the road. Can be a little unsafe. Continue to put family safety first. I just love this TH-cam Channel. It's the 💣! Just stay the way you all are. Now on with the Show. Shawn.
That Zephyr would look great totally restored as is. No interior or body work needed. A little rust repair on back underside of the trunk lid and paint and she's done! And you can tell folks that little 6 cylinder is a real powerhouse because you did "donuts" in it with the whole family in the car at Pigeon Forge.... 😁🍩 😁🍩
Awesome! Ive never been over there for the car shows. Havent been in nearly 20 years period. I could live up there in the mountains though. Out in the country part anyway. It was great to see Papaw again. Glad he's doin good.
I feel like I was at the car show with you guys,the car was deffinately happy to go.
All the family has a favourite and nobody was bored.
A perfect video.
Maybe it’s time to do a full restoration to win a car show.
Squeezie!!! "Paint it PINK” "Ice Cream Shop” exactly what my daughter would say. Great video y’all!
Yes!!!!!
Brings back so many memories...thank you all for another great road trip!
Just another Family Adventure … it was great not only seeing some vehicles of my past but the Family expressions and delight in seeing those vehicles …. AND you made it back and forth without 🥴😳🫣🙈😵😵💫🤐⛽️…. great job on this video 👍
Thank you
It's just so realistic ride-n along with you and the whole crew - Thanks for the memories.
Looks like lots of fun. God Bless y'all
You guys are awesome!!!!! Thanks for taking us along on your trips. You and your family are truly blessed!
I absolutely loved coming along with you all it was a total blast guys can’t wait till the next one
Looks like it was a really fun road trip, even with the coordinated effort it took with the windshield wiper. Great video!
Looks like you had fun. Your dad and gramps are great.
This video was great. Those wipers....I was cracking up. Y'all definitely make a good team. I was raised and still live near Winston-Salem NC, the home off Krispy Kreme doughnuts. They are the best ever. My best friend and I will be in Pigeon forge in a few weeks. Wish we could have met you. Love your family and videos. God bless you.
i don't know what was funnier your fix of the wipers with the USB cords or Wawa's reaction to it 🤣😂
really enjoyable video, I was in pigeon forge and other parts of tennessee in june and just love the state, also the window wiper set up was great, great family times to treasure,
Another long video from Sleeperdude and crew. Awesome! Killing it. Don't stop.
I did a trip from Melbourne to Adelaide in a mate's '63 Holden which was built from parts found in paddocks and had to string up the wipers to get them to work. Hilariously good times.
"Been driving junk for 18 years" - it's the family activity: Collabrative creativity, fixing things on the fly - what an education for the kids. (I'm envious.)
Curves "so tight you meet yourself coming the other way". "Never looks as steep on video..." But I think my ears popped, too - am I getting to involved in your videos?!
Seems that you are indeed living your best lives since Josh quit his job. So happy for you all.
"I think you're living your best life"
Best quote. Looks like it's true, all the best. Thanks for the videos.
Another awesome family video. Loved your response when your dad says “nothing is cheep around here.”
Thanks for another great video. They’re getting better and better. I’m a fan of you and your family.
Great video guys! Thanks for taking us along! 👍👍
Love the family outten. Keep the videos coming.
Such a awesome video just made my day thank you Josh and Family. Also nice wiper blade fix lol. Next video roll on can't wait.
Awesome video and fabulous family. We laughed so hard when you used your "wipers".
Great trip and such a joy to watch!
Can’t say enough how much my wife and myself love you and the family Josh, this was yet another fantastic video and the love your family share with each other is so special ❤, loved all the cars and the Zephyr did great 👍 love to you and your amazing family ❤

Fixing a windshield wiper with a charging cord from a cell phone lol Now I have seen it all. Tell your wifey she looks beautiful without makeup. Looks like you had a lot of fun and the car really didn't break down because of the engine so it really was a good trip. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you I’m glad you liked it

Thaaannkssss for another great fun family video!! All the best! God bless! Now I’m hankering for KK!!
Thank you for watching
Reminds me a lot of driving the roads in AR back when I was in HS. Really enjoy watching your videos.
I got Hardees breakfast for the first time in about 15 years this week, and it was AMAZING!! I'm embarrassed to admit their gravy is better than my momma's! Y'all need to be sponsored by Hardee's breakfast 🤣❤️
When I was in the army, we went north of Fairbanks Alaska in a convoy in the winter. It was about -30 in 1977. We were sleeping in tents with Yukon stoves. Me and another spec 4, were driving the 5 ton wrecker at the back of the convoy. All the vehicles from 1/4 ton m151 jeeps to 5 ton tractors with 5000 gallons tankers full of jp4 were driving on icy mountain roads. The wreckers heater fuel line was connected to the fuel line for the fuel injector pump. So if we turned on the heater, the engine would starve for fuel and die. The windshield would ice up, we was using a C ration can to scrap the ice. Right behind the cab was an acetylene torch. We passed the torch through the sliding back window and lit it. It got too hot even on low with the Windows open. We made it back to Ft. Richardson like that. There's much more to the story, but I would have to write a book.
Great family video and car show, thanks for taking us along, 👍
The radio volume pot needs a spray of D5 Deoxit. Or you can use WD-40 in a pinch.. to clear up the static when you adjust the volume.
Ok thanks for letting me know
That car show thru the whole town is amazing, I saw one once that was about 1 mile of the Main Street and another 6 blocks of a few side streets in Henderson NV, my hometown in Illinois was just 3 blocks of Main Street. This was a fun video.
Thank you
my girl friend and i use to go there alot befor she died from cancer it is a great fun place for kids of all ages. im glad you and your family had a good time with no car trouble. keep up the good job on you tube.

Thank you we are blessed
Loved meeting y’all at Shades! Driving by and saw the Zephyr and then couldn’t believe it was you guys getting out!! So excited we made the video. Lol. It’s awesome the way the whole family is part of the business. Love that you are sharing your love of cars with the kids and how they interact with it all. Awesome family. Can’t wait for future videos. God bless!!!
It was great to meet you guys as well. Thank you
We had to pause the video at, “we have to put it on delay”. Loving my new flip flops and may pops t-shirt. Super comfortable.
Thank you
Really enjoyed the kids and the whole experience...fun! Thank you for bringing us all along!
