I'm getting older now, but as a young guy I worked for a speed shop in MA. The owner had a huge MOPAR collection. We worked on everything, but MOPAR was king! Watching your show reminds me of those days. We worked all week and spent the weekends going to the track. We couldn't get enough of it. Your show captures that feeling! Thank you and keep it up!
Unlike most shows/youtube channels this guy clearly works on the cars and isn't some "personality" and secondly I love how the attention to detail includes the "errors" like the over spray.
I like your attention to detail. I know if your shop did the restoration, its just like walking into the dealer in1970 and buying a new car. Paint work is top notch.
A good rule of thumb is to just finger tighten the suspension fasteners and then tighten them after wards put on a suspension or alignment rack at correct ride height with full weight of vehicle on the suspension or four wheels. The bushings won't be twisted up and will last longer and ride might be less harsh
Don’t think Color Me Gone was in my race viewing era, but the other two are definitely memorable. But haven’t thought about for years…thanks for the memories!
Mark Worman is "the MOPAR GURU". He knows just about anything you'd ever want to know about the mid-60's to early 70's mopar classics. Just watch his episodes. He's a stickler for detail...a true Mopar perfectionist.
I worked at a dodge dealership as a mechanic in the 80’s. We had a red a100 as our shop truck. Got to build the 318 and the 904 tranny for it. It was super cool to drive but you felt like you were always going to hit something with no front end!
Mark, thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I would like to think that there are Chevrolet/Ford/Olds/Pontiac/AMC equivalents of you out there, but i'm pretty sure they are few and far between. Love the show!!!!
I agree I've been watching for years on and off and it's great to see Alyssa getting her hands dirty and doing some real wrenching! Plus she is talking like she knows what she's talking about finally.
I grew up with a Direct Connection founding father as my actual Dad... Mark's knowledge is encyclopedic. If every episode was shot and edited like this (no filler) I would never miss an episode.
Wow just outstanding, put me back in my days. Outstanding job guys. The 69 road runner was my favorite black with tan interior wish I still had it,Appreciate you sharing I’ll be watching more
years a go i loved watching the T V show that air on some channel this was a great show that i loved it an was sad wan i could not watch it any more wan i was younger i use to have a 1969 coronet R T with a 440 4barl auto tras on the floor i wish i had kept but being a kid in the ARMY at the time an needing the money i sold it it would be great. if you could find one an build one just so an old man could relive some of hes past a do somrthing that i never got the opportunity to do love you.r show keep up the youtube live feeds
There’s a laser that could help you with the tight squeeze putting the motor in and there’s 3 options of laser lights. 1st one is vertical solid line 2nd is solid horizontal line and 3rd is spot laser point which you could get two spots one above the laser and the other spot from laser straight out the front. They can be magnets so you can hang it from the exactly same spot and if you have it sitting on the floor you would put either a line on the solid laser beams or the spots you have on the 3rd position of your laser. They made it so easier if you had to put steel frame in buildings or walls in a house. Instead of the old plumb bob weigh hanging from the spot above to have a correct vertical walls if you had nothing to measure from on the floor.
The last episode that was aired; I noticed that you added A Family Tradition under the logo, nice touch!! I really enjoy watching the show, thank everyone!!!
Oddly hilarious. With all Rob's skill, he chops the hell of out of his sentences and loves abrupt endings. It's an interesting style for a video. We're all here for the content and put up with it happily.
My 2018 F150 Platinum was expensive...but a seven figure car? Holy crap! I've owned a lot of MOPAR cars, my first was a 1969 Roadrunner in 1986, then a 1968 Dodge Charger 383 4 speed, 1969 Plymouth GTX 440, 1969 Charger R/T SE 440 4 speed Super Track Pack, 1970 Dodge Superbee 383, 1970 Challenger R/T 44 Six Pack...all were awesome cars! I met and talked to Ray Barton about a HEMI for the Charger R/T as it did not have its original engine but in the end stuck with the correct year HP2 440 replacement.
Amazing how tight those under hood clearances are. Which amazes me, considering how absolutely deplorable their external body panel fitment was straight off the assembly line back in the day when they were new.
I remember watching the Little Red Wagon run many times at Irwindale Raceway in SOCal. Love the Gold color of that R/T. Never knew the air intake sys was that complicated…what a nightmare to get parts for I bet! Great video, enjoyed it very much!
At mark 5:36 the gas tank straps have no gasket between the straps and the tank. Original or not, strap gaskets are needed to avoid rust-through and a tank leak.
I remember the Little Red Wagon running at Fremont Drag Strip back in mid or late 60's. A wheelie for a whole 1/4 mile, tail gate would throw sparks at night. The Secret Weapon was another one that ran there that was cool, Army Jeep with a HEMI. Those were some cool times, reversed chrome rims, Moon Caps and Rat Fink.
@@ruralridez6165 There are 70 of them and they arent of significant importance. They will come up for sale in due time. Hey, you can probably own 2 of them.
@@aspiceronni4462 good luck finding one in Gold Rush yet alone one that is a 6 speed manual. who would of thought back in 1970 that a $4k car would be worth 6 figure 50 year later. Mine will stay in its car capsule for many many years to be only a trailer queen.
Show me , Christine , love that movie , I wish my vehicle could fix itself like that , great Intro but badass ride thanks 4 the info and showing us this , so when did rumble bee start and come from
Just found your channel. Ever seen an old guy cry? Missing all my old Mopars lost to divorce leeches/lawyers... Shoulda just chose the cars n stayed single. But then I wouldn't have my daughter who I taught to count having her start spark plugs n lugnuts. Then she demanded to use the impact and tighten them (lugs only lol). On second thought that's what I miss the most, worth more than the cars could ever be!
A retired former Manchester CT cop has a dark brown 1970 426 Hemi Demon that he bought new from Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago that they built in-house. One of only two that were ever built.
Thanks, so interesting, and nice MOPAR overviews with history … More so as my first new car Purchase was 70 Coronet 500/383 Turquoise/ auto/2 DR/ DeLUXE INT/ ps/ PB , Ralley Red/ Black vinyl with May 1970 Build (?, memory)… Anyways, I turned down a couple classic Mopars as we had my wife’s School to, finish & lots of driving ( remember GAS WAS 26-32 c GAL EVEN premium ).. My thought was to build it up using SUPer Bee/ RT **stuff : not really **much fits.. Anyhow, spent a lot of years working in that 1970 Coronet: it lasted some 15 plus years , of **much use & Warsaw Indiana area , road **salt before I gave up on it……** ( ps!: I never got the Window sticker on my $3100 ( FULL Price) 70 Coronet……. Interestingly, the Dealer also sold AMC,ETC.)….
while I admit the cars you show are nice due to the fact my Dad worked for Ford's I Love the 1969 429 Boss Mustang T/A and since the only made 500 of them they are rare and hard to find in good shape just thought I would show there was another car with the T/A attached to the name
You need to build a "Nash Bridges" Hemi Cuda. That's a cool car. Even though most of the time it was a 340 Cuda with a 4 speed and a shaker scoop. Plus the wrong color because the producer wanted a different color for the cameras.... LOL
Does a 1967 Hemi Charger have the same plates welded into the frame at the rear? Was a speedometer retainer used on a 67 Charger? Great show, enjoy the detail. THank you.
The Little Red wagon aA100, in my mind, is easily a 1 million-dollar vehicle. I've always loved that truck, I've always loved A100's, and it chopped, rear engine, A100, is one of my bucket list vehicles, for sure!
I see that the battery tray was not installed before you put the engine in. I assume you left that out for better clearance while installing the engine. Galen Glovier has told me that my Charger Hemi 4 speed is 1 of 58 made in 1967, 1 of 3 that has the Gold ZZ-1 paint and 1of 1 with Gold Interior.
When I hit the lottery, I will send you my 71 Sublime 340 Duster. Till then, she’s riding with factory paint, surface rust, rusty quarters, a mismatched sassy grass green fender and door (repainted in the early 80’s 🤦🏼♂️), a ripped not factory bench seat, and a droopy headliner. Oh yeah and a 360 under the hood because I can’t find a good enough 340 kit for my 70 Cuda 340 with 68 heads. Small 5 lug and drum brakes. She’s truly walking dead.
How nerve wracking that must have been dropping that car down over the engine. So impressive that you have got the details finely worked out, right down to the things that weren't so fine originally. Kudos.
I got to 15:35 before I had to quit watching because of the annoying background music. When you're wanting to listen to what people are saying it's very annoying to have that music playing in the background.
Except the historical vehicle registry 1970 dodge challenger triple black hemi four speed with every option you could get from the dealer only one and original mint condition.
I love those old pistol grip shifters, too bad the throw was so long. I had a 64 dodge dart would have been fun to build out but there is never any room between the fenders in every mopar i ever seen for easier access for nice headers and such.
We put big tube headers on a friends 70 GTX.. They were such a tight fit and encapsulated the starter. We decided if the starter ever went out,just sell the car.
Mam, I love you and you're father's expertise. I had had a 65 Dodge Van with an E58 360 in it. That thing could lay rubber let me tell you. And what was funny looking out the front windshield. Just think about it, if you hit the breaks too hard this thing was gonna go nose-first into some real Expl[sh...]it... LOL
Then I'm sitting here thinking oh my God just bring the car down a little and adjust the engine to where it needs to be! I do it weekly!!!!! But I've never done it on a million dollar car so you're exactly right to be so anal about every little detail because you have to be. It's nice to see somebody working on a million dollar car and also watch them show you why they deserve to be working on that car.
I worked as a mechanic in Dodge dealers in the late 70s. I could never understand why the welds on Mopars always looked so terrible. It wasn't the equipment- I learned MIG in 1974. I couldn't get away with welds that crappy looking when I was in welding school. The instructor wouldn't allow it. No excuse for that junk.
Dear mr Werman More importsnt then the markings on the fuel lines is the material. All rubber fuel lines need an upgraded material that can resist new fuels which have ethanol. If not the ethanot will erode the rubber an zcrew up the entire fuel system. Your engine can even get leaned out the carbs and filters blocked.
Every time I see Alyssa wearing her ring while working on the cars, I remember an OSHA video of a guy's finger being peeled off to the bone. Unfortunately, there was nothing left to put back on, so they had to remove the bony finger. The ring was mangled and crushed and a total loss. I'm surprised Mark hasn't been hit with an OSHA violation for the jewelry while on the shop floor.
Par for the course back in the day for a POS car not expected to last more than 3 years....cheap junk torsion bars would start to creak after a couple years......
This is addressed to mark. Who said and I quote "Dodge is more masculine than Plymouth". You are incorrect sir. Wasn't Plymouth the performance side of Dodge. Hands down I would take a Plymouth Cuda over a challenge! I would also take a road runner or A GTX over the Dodge counterpart what was that a coronet. So you see mark and by the way I love your show big fan however I completely disagree with you on the statement. It was borderline offensive. Keep up the great work love you show.
I stopped watching after all the wrong facts about the Little Red Wagon. The first engine was a dual quad 426 Hemi. It was built to race in the A/FX category-it was built to race, not do wheelstanding exhibitions. The Hilborn fuel injection was soon added when Bill Golden was assigned driving chores. Roger Lindamood drove it originally but the tendency to lift the front wheels spooked him. Bill worked on the truck until he was finally able to carry the front wheels the entire quarter-mile and Dodge decided to run the LRW as an exhibition vehicle instead of an A/FXer. A supercharger was not added until many years later. By the way, the Hurst Hemi Under Glass was also originally built as an A/FX car, not a wheelstander.
Actually the first guy to drive the Little Red Wagon was Jay Howell in 1964, then Roger Lindamood, and Jim Thornton of the Ramchargers, Jay and Dick did not build a truck two R&D guys from Chrysler strip the truck down and named it little wagon and then it went to Dick's shop with the two four barrels on it when the truck first stood up the fuel bowls emptied out and if you look at old photos you'll see the front of the rolled pan underneath the grill is mashed plus the truck had plexiglass all the way around for Windows the windows fell out of the windshield luckily they were plexiglass after that the wagon never ran any glass ever again a lot of people think there was a hole in the floor from Maverick to look through not true I crewed on East Coast tracks near my Maryland home for Bill Maverick Golden from 1988 to 2002 his retirement, This truck was brought back in service after truck after number three was destroyed in an end over end and roll over crash in Quebec City Canada 1975 ripping the truck apart and breaking Mavericks neck and all his knuckles and hurting his back very bad, the number four truck is the last surviving exhibition vehicle the sold for a half million twice the Don Garlits Museum truck sold for $300,000 it was just a clone of number four with over $50,000 with a chrome plating I actually donated the grill and the headlight covers which are made from 1956 Plymouth wheel cover centers.
@@haroldhoffmanjr4608 you have more info than I was able to find. I have one photo I downloaded that shows an early LRW (steel wheels, on a trailer with one other stock Dodge 4 door car). The cab has rear quarter windows. Any info on that?
@@threynolds2 That was a truck that Chrysler built to take the dealerships and show off, Bill told me he never had a deluxe cab Dodge A100 with the corner cab windows, also there's a promo picture of The Little Old Lady from Pasadena sitting in a Dodge a100 but you can see the mirror mounts on the truck which the Little Red Wagon would have never had mirror mounts, I've seen three photos of that truck one with a little kids are pulling a wagon in the museum it looks like another one it's on the back of a flatbed truck with a 66 Coronet by 1966 a Little Red Wagon was Candy Apple Red and it would have had the Mickey Thompson mags on it, the last picture of that truck was in front of a looks like a bar there is a group called Bill Maverick golden and his little red wagon on Facebook a friend of mine runs it out of California but I post most of the pictures on it because I actually crewed for Maverick from 1988/2002 and I basically ask a lot of questions because I was I'm a model builder and I always wanted to build a truck right most people think that Center Post in the windshield on the model kit is steel it's not it's a strip of rubber between the two flag glasses it's a gasket with the model company tells you in the original instruction sheet from IMC they come in the first brought it out 66 to 1970 to cut that out and also remove the Vent windows, of course I got the whole story wrong the truck ran two four barrels and then it went to the fuel injection system after they did put a blower on it with the blower was too much for it so they went back to the Hilborn Injector system and that's what he ran all the way up until 1967, then the truck was supercharged until 2002, You Should go on Facebook and look up that Group it's called NHRA Bill Maverick Goldens Little Red Wagon.
I worked on at least one one off in my day but nothing So Glamorous that is a beauty and you guys really do a great job of entertaining and editing can't wait to see the Cornet running ciao for now
One of None is actually the nickname given to manufacturer's concept cars. They typically are destroyed after they are used for publicity, research, etc. So, according to the manufacturer, the car never existed. If you find a survivor, and some of them do get forgotten instead of destroyed, you have a One of None car.
MISS MEG RYAN is amazing !(please don't crisis me for her name ), Alissa is one special girl. Intelligent,smart and really fortunate to have her healthy body .A credit to her parents who love her and taught her not to be scared of anything.👍👍
In order to maintain the factory rebuild and that 1 of 2 ( and the only 1 of those original 2 left on the planet, and maintain every dollar of that Million Dollar price, then the current color must match the original color on the as build plate. Paint it another color, the value drops a ton. It is a beautiful car! Well done. I was sure we were going to get to hear that Hemi ROAR...That was the only let down.
A fantastic car, but the price is probably also fantastic. Edit : But then there is now a brand new car and engine, of which it is one in the whole world. And I liked the gang and the video so much that I subscribed.

I love this show . You learn a lot and they do amazing work and they are not cocky. And they are funny with no drama .
I count myself lucky to have seen both the Little Red Wagon and Color Me Gone at a small local drag strip, as well as Hemi Under Glass!

Ya gotta remember for those whose hearing isn't perfect, background music is often just noise, and reduces intelligibility.
*pause* "ohh so thats where that shit is coming from"
I hate it.
Yup absolutely, sometimes so distracting it's pointless watching.
Yes, I am one of those. Some registers make it really hard to separate out and understand words when played together.
@@TwoAcresandaMule - I think youtube requires some music in videos... but we'd rather hear the engines...

if there is that much difference then the bushes are fucked, this is all new and exactly how it was done on the assembly line.

How it was done at the factory for sure , the engine on the k-frame goes in after all the plumbing
I see that the battery tray was not installed before you put the engine in. I assume you left that out for better clearance while installing the engine. Galen Glovier has told me that my Charger Hemi 4 speed is 1 of 58 made in 1967, 1 of 3 that has the Gold ZZ-1 paint and 1of 1 with Gold Interior.
When I hit the lottery, I will send you my 71 Sublime 340 Duster. Till then, she’s riding with factory paint, surface rust, rusty quarters, a mismatched sassy grass green fender and door (repainted in the early 80’s 🤦🏼♂️), a ripped not factory bench seat, and a droopy headliner. Oh yeah and a 360 under the hood because I can’t find a good enough 340 kit for my 70 Cuda 340 with 68 heads. Small 5 lug and drum brakes. She’s truly walking dead.
Not enough girls like Alyssa in this world, gj for that amazing Dodge Hemi beauty!
How nerve wracking that must have been dropping that car down over the engine. So impressive that you have got the details finely worked out, right down to the things that weren't so fine originally. Kudos.
I got to 15:35 before I had to quit watching because of the annoying background music. When you're wanting to listen to what people are saying it's very annoying to have that music playing in the background.
Is this ‘70 R/T hemi convertible that was in the Otis Chandler collection’s American Muscle book from the early ‘90s?
Except the historical vehicle registry 1970 dodge challenger triple black hemi four speed with every option you could get from the dealer only one and original mint condition.
I love those old pistol grip shifters, too bad the throw was so long. I had a 64 dodge dart would have been fun to build out but there is never any room between the fenders in every mopar i ever seen for easier access for nice headers and such.
@Steven Matthews that's funny, never heard that before.
We put big tube headers on a friends 70 GTX.. They were such a tight fit and encapsulated the starter. We decided if the starter ever went out,just sell the car.
Suddenly I'm in love with goose!
Mam, I love you and you're father's expertise. I had had a 65 Dodge Van with an E58 360 in it. That thing could lay rubber let me tell you. And what was funny looking out the front windshield. Just think about it, if you hit the breaks too hard this thing was gonna go nose-first into some real Expl[sh...]it... LOL
Then I'm sitting here thinking oh my God just bring the car down a little and adjust the engine to where it needs to be! I do it weekly!!!!! But I've never done it on a million dollar car so you're exactly right to be so anal about every little detail because you have to be. It's nice to see somebody working on a million dollar car and also watch them show you why they deserve to be working on that car.
I like rumble of a Hemi Best sound in Town!
That Gold color is breathtakingly beautiful!
Yes, but the car is ok too!
Alyssa is HOT🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wonder if they bend all their lines or do they order them that way.
I worked as a mechanic in Dodge dealers in the late 70s. I could never understand why the welds on Mopars always looked so terrible. It wasn't the equipment- I learned MIG in 1974. I couldn't get away with welds that crappy looking when I was in welding school. The instructor wouldn't allow it. No excuse for that junk.
Most modern engines use a Hemi design even small 4 cylinder engines. Now it is just a name to sell cars.
They are mostly pent roof which is very similar but allows for more valves
Dear mr Werman
More importsnt then the markings on the fuel lines is the material.
All rubber fuel lines need an upgraded material that can resist new fuels which have ethanol.
If not the ethanot will erode the rubber an zcrew up the entire fuel system.
Your engine can even get leaned out the carbs and filters blocked.
I love watching yr show I like the older muscle cars
Every time I see Alyssa wearing her ring while working on the cars, I remember an OSHA video of a guy's finger being peeled off to the bone. Unfortunately, there was nothing left to put back on, so they had to remove the bony finger. The ring was mangled and crushed and a total loss. I'm surprised Mark hasn't been hit with an OSHA violation for the jewelry while on the shop floor.
That welding job must of been assigned to new dudes on the line , cause if that was work from a long term worker who welds , JEEZ.
Par for the course back in the day for a POS car not expected to last more than 3 years....cheap junk torsion bars would start to creak after a couple years......
That's why dodge is in the state it is in today.....
He knows so much about these cars
This is addressed to mark. Who said and I quote "Dodge is more masculine than Plymouth". You are incorrect sir. Wasn't Plymouth the performance side of Dodge. Hands down I would take a Plymouth Cuda over a challenge! I would also take a road runner or A GTX over the Dodge counterpart what was that a coronet. So you see mark and by the way I love your show big fan however I completely disagree with you on the statement. It was borderline offensive. Keep up the great work love you show.
Absolute Art Work at It's Best!😳😍
........The Car Also! 😂😁👍
Wrong description...this isn't the rarest Hemi !
this is the rarest HEMI CAR !
And it's not even the rarest Hemi car.
I stopped watching after all the wrong facts about the Little Red Wagon. The first engine was a dual quad 426 Hemi. It was built to race in the A/FX category-it was built to race, not do wheelstanding exhibitions. The Hilborn fuel injection was soon added when Bill Golden was assigned driving chores. Roger Lindamood drove it originally but the tendency to lift the front wheels spooked him. Bill worked on the truck until he was finally able to carry the front wheels the entire quarter-mile and Dodge decided to run the LRW as an exhibition vehicle instead of an A/FXer. A supercharger was not added until many years later.
By the way, the Hurst Hemi Under Glass was also originally built as an A/FX car, not a wheelstander.
Actually the first guy to drive the Little Red Wagon was Jay Howell in 1964, then Roger Lindamood, and Jim Thornton of the Ramchargers, Jay and Dick did not build a truck two R&D guys from Chrysler strip the truck down and named it little wagon and then it went to Dick's shop with the two four barrels on it when the truck first stood up the fuel bowls emptied out and if you look at old photos you'll see the front of the rolled pan underneath the grill is mashed plus the truck had plexiglass all the way around for Windows the windows fell out of the windshield luckily they were plexiglass after that the wagon never ran any glass ever again a lot of people think there was a hole in the floor from Maverick to look through not true I crewed on East Coast tracks near my Maryland home for Bill Maverick Golden from 1988 to 2002 his retirement, This truck was brought back in service after truck after number three was destroyed in an end over end and roll over crash in Quebec City Canada 1975 ripping the truck apart and breaking Mavericks neck and all his knuckles and hurting his back very bad, the number four truck is the last surviving exhibition vehicle the sold for a half million twice the Don Garlits Museum truck sold for $300,000 it was just a clone of number four with over $50,000 with a chrome plating I actually donated the grill and the headlight covers which are made from 1956 Plymouth wheel cover centers.
@@haroldhoffmanjr4608 you have more info than I was able to find. I have one photo I downloaded that shows an early LRW (steel wheels, on a trailer with one other stock Dodge 4 door car). The cab has rear quarter windows. Any info on that?
@@threynolds2 That was a truck that Chrysler built to take the dealerships and show off, Bill told me he never had a deluxe cab Dodge A100 with the corner cab windows, also there's a promo picture of The Little Old Lady from Pasadena sitting in a Dodge a100 but you can see the mirror mounts on the truck which the Little Red Wagon would have never had mirror mounts, I've seen three photos of that truck one with a little kids are pulling a wagon in the museum it looks like another one it's on the back of a flatbed truck with a 66 Coronet by 1966 a Little Red Wagon was Candy Apple Red and it would have had the Mickey Thompson mags on it, the last picture of that truck was in front of a looks like a bar there is a group called Bill Maverick golden and his little red wagon on Facebook a friend of mine runs it out of California but I post most of the pictures on it because I actually crewed for Maverick from 1988/2002 and I basically ask a lot of questions because I was I'm a model builder and I always wanted to build a truck right most people think that Center Post in the windshield on the model kit is steel it's not it's a strip of rubber between the two flag glasses it's a gasket with the model company tells you in the original instruction sheet from IMC they come in the first brought it out 66 to 1970 to cut that out and also remove the Vent windows, of course I got the whole story wrong the truck ran two four barrels and then it went to the fuel injection system after they did put a blower on it with the blower was too much for it so they went back to the Hilborn Injector system and that's what he ran all the way up until 1967, then the truck was supercharged until 2002, You Should go on Facebook and look up that Group it's called NHRA Bill Maverick Goldens Little Red Wagon.
It used to sit in a wrecking yard near quebec-ontario border
FT6 is dark tan metallic. I had a 70 challenger in FT6 Great show!!
I worked on at least one one off in my day but nothing So Glamorous that is a beauty and you guys really do a great job of entertaining and editing can't wait to see the Cornet running ciao for now
One of None is actually the nickname given to manufacturer's concept cars. They typically are destroyed after they are used for publicity, research, etc. So, according to the manufacturer, the car never existed. If you find a survivor, and some of them do get forgotten instead of destroyed, you have a One of None car.
Good to know!
MISS MEG RYAN is amazing !(please don't crisis me for her name ), Alissa is one special girl. Intelligent,smart and really fortunate to have her healthy body .A credit to her parents who love her and taught her not to be scared of anything.👍👍
Bonk.
Down boy down..
Good boy.
Best side comment ever..."To this day he has arthritis in that wrist"
In order to maintain the factory rebuild and that 1 of 2 ( and the only 1 of those original 2 left on the planet, and maintain every dollar of that Million Dollar price, then the current color must match the original color on the as build plate. Paint it another color, the value drops a ton.
It is a beautiful car! Well done. I was sure we were going to get to hear that Hemi ROAR...That was the only let down.
A fantastic car, but the price is probably also fantastic.
Edit : But then there is now a brand new car and engine, of which it is one in the whole world.
And I liked the gang and the video so much that I subscribed.
I love background music in the show as long as it's not playing while a engine is running because I wanna hear that engine singing solo 🔧🚗👍🔴👊💯🙏🇺🇲💪
