The man lived on his own terms .The way people used to live ,before the government slowly takes our freedoms away. Just a little at a time so you don't notice till it's too late. RIP MR SUTTON ,MUCH RESPECT SIR.
True American Spirit, no government control, just an honest man making an honest living.
My grandpa (RIP) use to say when the roads got bad where he grew up, you'd only see him or the postman in an A Model Ford.
I could listen to this dude talk all day
This man was living American history.
Hes an old mountain man. Wish govt would have left him alone.
old? He died at the young age of 62, he is only 53 here.
Yeah, that's funny. He acted old, but, I'd guess smoking like that will pickle anyone.
@@Sc0pee I hope he passed his driver's test and got his permit.
Government killed him :(
@@vibes3360 how?
I enjoy watching the videos, they are very relaxing. A great lesson in that lifestyle and culture from a dying breed.
Bygod the folks I love carry on this way and I do aswell.rest of the world has gone to hell.im not pop corn by any means but I wear my over alls I drive my 73 chevy and it lord then family and country.everything else falls in line the lord provides
Yep a dying breed, sad deal it is. Now all the Florida Yankees are taking over southern Appalachia. Damn halfbacks.
If there were more people like him in the world it would be a much better place that's for sure
Love this. A quick Message to the 25 people who down voted this video.... "Piss off "
Mike L Popcorn said Fuck You
A DAMN GOOD MAN DEAD BECAUSE OF THE CROOKED ASS GREEDY GOVERNMENT! RIP POPCORN WE LOVE YOU!!
Robbie Williams dont worry man theres always little government loving bitches like this guy who think the government is on there side. But there always the same ones who get there asses beat by the cops and robbed by the cops and then they stand around like dumbasses and go “how could this happen to me”. Fucking little bitches
Thanks for the ride Popcorn......
True legend nobody can compare
I wish the law left him alone
They should make a movie about this legend popcorn.
The guy you’d wanna sit down n hear all his story’s while your drunk on corn liquor
Heck years I bet he had some wild stories to tell lol
Likker
Not sure how i got here but that was a fun ride up that mountain, I could listen to this guy all day without getting bored.
I just can't get enough of that old soul, thanks for your video..R.I.P. 🍿..Block and Tackle...that's just great!!
what a treat it must have been to know him
So the man made 🌙 shine ! Bless his ❤ ! Seems like a very interesting man !
What he says is true! In the mountains of west virginia I had to get a buick with a high torque low rpm v6. Some cars do not like the incline, even the oil in the motor is effected by the steep hills. You need 200lbs of torque per 4000 lbs minimum that model A is light and geared loooow.
Nipsey Sutton :) nipsey hussle oddly resembles Mr. Sutton
Thank you for sharing this. Gave me all kinds of nostalgia, my uncle had this exact model A and he took me for a ride in it the last time he drove it on the road. He was so proud of that car. Popcorn Sutton reminds me of my kin folk from Kentucky. You brought me joy with this video, thank you 🙏🏻
God bless popcorn was such a sweetheart
God I love this ol man! I could watch his videos every day. Wish I would have ran into him the times we vacationed in Maggie Valley
I did meet him. He was a friend of a friend of people I knew. He was a piece of work. I also met Ernestine Upchurch, whom he used to see, for several years. She was very nice and personable.
Popcorn Sutton if he was still alive awesome movie and it really moved me man I'm what you went through and you never made your court sentence that's good rest in peace my friend not in pieces will remember you always Popcorn Sutton to that old Kentucky bluegrass music I'll always remember you
Rest In Peace bro 🌹.
One of the good ole boys for sure..
The human touches in that car are fascinating. It has a lot of character, perhaps because it's such an imperfect restoration.
Surprised he was only 62 when he died, seemed much older. RIP.
its the liquor and smokes, they accelerate the aging of skin and organs by a lot. Not telling anyone how to live but thats just the truth
The mountains will age you quikker than strong likker
@@Eralen00 I’m quitting
Mountain living will do that to you, even if you don’t smoke
RIP Dear old friend. Met this man over 20 years ago. Was true to his word on all fronts. Very honest and admirable human being.
He had such a simple way about him. He was almost childlike in that way. I think that a lot of mountain folks are that way, they don’t know how to be anything but their genuine selves, take it or leave it.
Yes sir my dad was born pineknot Kentucky and I'm very PROUD of it.drink on pcorn !!! 🍷🍸🍻🍹🎸👣👍🌅
That's a nice classic A model. Popcorn had good taste.
History is everything! What an enjoyable video
This man was one of a kind. I've researched him and he was and still will be a legend and Tim and all them boys following him is successful. Thank u all for privalidge of seeing what u do.
Rest easy to a simple soul. Sux popcorn took his life. All he would of had to do was less than a year in feds. His life was worth way more than 10 months in jail. $hit I would of done the time for him if it would of kept him alive. Much love/respect all of popcorns family/true friends. Tuning in all the way from Wilmington Delaware 2019.
Yeah it's sad that the law couldn't leave a harmless old man to do what he loved
Love this old man. He’s my cousin somewhere down the road I love his country little voice I wish I could have met him!! ♥️😖
rip ol fella the feds should have let you live in peace
Man I would have done anything to take a ride with this man I bet he had stories for days
I'd ride with Popcorn anytime. RIP brother.
RIP Mr. Popcorn 🍻
Why in the world the feds would consider putting this elderly gentleman in prison is beyond me. Okay, he liked to make a little bit of moonshine. He was later diagnosed with terminal cancer, what harm was he going to do? Just leave the old man alone, and let him pass his days in peace. Good grief!
Mark G. Most likely either political reasons or they wanted to make an example of him. Possibly a judge had a grudge who knows
The harm was to liquor companies and shareholders too.(greed). Sorry Big POPCORN. Man we miss you, Sir.
Rest peacefully popcorn!😖😖
I enjoyed this ride up the mountain with Marvin.
My dad and his buddies all owned Model A's. There was a hill outside of town that they used to challenge each other to climb.
The only way a Ford Model A would climb a steep hill was in reverse. The gas line was gravity fed .
A models will drive up a hill forwards since the gas tank is almost directly over the carburetor. My '31 pickup will crawl up a 35% grade in first no problem hauling what ever I can throw in the bed. Now the T was the car with the hill problem as the tank was almost level with the carb, they didn't like anything over a 15% grade.
There will never be another Popcorn Sutton and that’s very sad
This video makes me miss haywood county and ole popcorn, he was a hell of good ole man and had the best shine in all the land. I may not live in haywood county anymore but I miss it every day.
There was a time that I knew many people like Popcorn Sutton. Now they're nearly extinct.
No doubt. Reminds me of a lot of the old timers from when I was a kid growing up in Alabama. Most those guys are either passed away or too old to leave the house much anymore. Just don't see too many like them around anymore.
dUsTjUnKy2000 there are still many left at the top of a many hollers in eastern Kentucky,West Virginia,Virginia,Tennessee and Mississippi
Them Model T... They are not fast but they do have some power for as old as they are. I wouldn't expect him in any other Vehicle it Fits him!
This is the A model ford, the car after the T. The A was made from 28-31 and is a far better car than a T. They can go anywhere and do anything.
What a shame messing with this man over a little likker..
850 gallons.....
@@danielstuart7345 Compared to how much else is sold by companies? They don't want you making money off stuff they "control".
Rest easy Pop💖 bet you deliver some mighty fine shine one stair up🥃
A Ford "Model A" puts down about 1 foot pound of torque at the flywheel for every 18lbs of curb weight.
Around 125 LBS/FT of torque at 2300 rpms for a 1200kg* car with a 3 liter engine. You bet she pulls!
123lbs of torque is not pulling lol
That's not bad for a sport bike that's weights 400 lbs but not 1200
@@doctorsquirts3643 it’s also low geard
@@doctorsquirts3643 Vehicles geared lower have more pulling power in general. It's why when you're going uphill in a manual car you need to drop to the lower gears to be able to get past that incline.
This car weighs 2200 lbs for a pickup and 2500 for a sedan. The 128lb-ft of torque is multiplied by 3.07 in first gear through the transmission and 3.78 through the rear axle. Thats 1485lb-ft of torque. Equivalent to a Cat D2 crawler of similar vintage
Coffee in one hand and a cig in the other with a wheel in the middle = BAMF
I really wish I had the chance to meet popcorn he seems like a hell of a nice guy RIP popcorn
You sure can learn alot from him . I attended Maggie Valley Carshow many years alway enjoyed talking to Popcorn. "Tis sweet to be remembered" R.I.P. Popcorn
RIP POPCORN Rip
Rip popcorn I know you making shine for everbody up there
That car was made for him.
R.i.p. my precious popcorn boy
Very interesting man. A Genuine human being.
A humble man they should of left him alone there are people cooking meth selling crack to kids killing one another for 10 bucks of drug but ur gonna go after a old man for what some booze he didn't pay taxes on how sad R.I.P POPCORN your legend will never die
@TheFallsCapone cant argue that now can you my friend are are 100% right but POPCORN did say that same thing and one of his documentaries
@TheFallsCapone the world need more men like him sad to say the good old generation is fading away
@TheFallsCapone it would be cool to learn how to do what he did it was a since and art all in one and talk about hard work to something else that is fading away into the past
@TheFallsCapone I live in the Midwest of America it is illegal to make moonshine out here nowadays all you can get if you want what the idiots called moonshine they take Everclear boil it on a stove with apples and cinnamon sticks in it and try to sell it to use real moonshine which is absolutely disgusting there are few people around the area but still make it the traditional Waze it is really good haven't had any for years for the fact I don't drink anymore
@TheFallsCapone you know but that's pretty crazy to meet and talk to somebody it's on the different side of the big pond with the same struggles in life I hope you're doing damn good for yourself it's almost a shame not to be able to talk to you outside of this seemed like a pretty down-to-earth guy and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas my friend
THIS MAN IS FOR REAL
Power steering by ARMSTRONG :)
This man is top shelf a true LEGEND & his shine that I have had is FIRE!!!
Popcorn is a role model
VERY GOOD VIDEO. THANK YOU
Neal, I envy you brother, you were able to know the best man that ever walked in dixie here in North Carolina.
I agree with you Neal had the best seat in the house.
Love pop corns videos a great American tradition
Popcorn is the greatest
I love life lessons from real geniuses.
The president should have had a pardon ready for some shine
Thumbs up for popcorn .he was a good man that loved his shine .
Red Green meets Nipsey Hussle. This guy was a legend! RIP
@Zappa Man No he wasn't
R.I.P. ol' man.
My ears started poppin they goin up all those hills lol!
He's a heck of a guy.
I understand less than the half of what he says but this dude was original
Ford still uses the cab design on explorer more modern but the same
POPCORN you are the best ever brother wish you was still with us
Who is this man and what happened to him? Everyone is talking about the gov't?
The Married Couple he was a old moonshiner that never bothered anyone and he didn’t hide the fact that he made moonshine either and someone ratted on him and he got busted in 1974 and he never stopped making moonshine and he got caught again in 1998 and he got prosecuted and was supposed to serve 18 months but he was already old as hell and when he didn’t show up to the prison the government feds raided his house and he shot himself in the head when they came in the door. Like popcorn said himself “i paid taxes on the corn,the jars,the sugar,and the copper so i don’t think I’m braking the law” well the government didn’t like that they were not getting there cut of the money so they drove the peaceful old man to kill himself because he wasn’t going to spend the last little bit of his life in prison. The government is corrupt as fuck but they love to try to portray him as a huge criminal to hide the fact that there corrupt ass thieves who will kill and blackmail to get there way.
@@rileyferrell4617 Oh my Gosh! Bless his sweet heart. I dont blame him. It's a series of unfortunate events. Thank you for filling me in. Never heard of the man before.
@@themarriedcouple9924 he killed himself by carbon monoxide poisoning - running a hose from the exhaust into the cab of his car, the day before he was supposed to report to prison to serve 18 months.
0:46 popcorn dropped his train of thought looking out the window after a car passed. Moonshine in the truck and the laws fear
They called him Popcorn because he took a pool Q to a malfunctioning Popcorn machine in a bar in the 70's or 80's.
Amen brother
He was some kind of character. I hope that it went well with him in the end.
Some people called the man popcorn I just called him ol' Marv
The real deal Mt Popcorn Sutton!
Look at him.. No powered spectacles... damn fit & still rock till his end... RIP
he was a man amongst the best of us. solid and fit , body and mind.
Well he died at the young age of 62. He is only 53 here.
Moonshine Legend
He made fine shine
Can anybody tell me the model and the year of that lovely old truck he drives??
it is a ford model a made between 1927-1931
Legend
Popcorn i love best shiner ever
Watching these Old PopCorn Videos Makes Me Wish that This CoalCityCountryBoy Woulda Hung Out with PopCorn.

Ray, I've run my last run of moonshine, I'm not gonna do it anymore, I'm just getting too old to be doing this stuff, This is all about Me and My Likker
Heavy D from Diesel Brothers reminds me of a younger Popcorn Sutton!. 😉😁
Just look closely at them both and you'll see exactly what I'm saying folks. 😂
Edit: Both may have lived different lives but still both have lived a truly rewarding one to say the least!.
Wish I could have met this man and shook his hand!
I took a 65 mustang up there in low gear.
