Man I wish I would have known about this I've got a 500 Nissan Altima that I've been driving for 3 years it's a 6 speed manual 3.5 l and it will fly and I've only ever had power steering and brake rubber hose issues
It took 10 to get 1 running and driving with n interior... they weren't... what's the word .... reliable .. they were a product of the 80s mullets and sideburns on dicks
That Camaro is a steal. You've got people selling those in that condition or worse for over $4k. The fact that it's mechanically sound enough for what it went through, makes it the real winner for me.
I paid $250 for my 85 z28, all original, 124k miles, runs and drives. Interior was a little rough, and needed a tune up. Thats it. Deals exist. And frankly the 4th gen f-body was never that great, or sought after, or collectable... they are a dime a dozen. I gave my 84 berlinetta away for free cuz it was a turd.
Also, thats not an LS. Its the last generation of the SBC, know as the LT1. It is the predecessor of the LS, but a long way from performing like one. And it does not have a 4l60e in it. It has a TH400 or TH350 unless it was modified.
Never stopped us in the Black Hills. 10 times more dangerous, still ran around in $500 cars. Nearly rolled one on a mountain. Granted we had to use lots of plastic to fill the rust holes in the winter.
Honestly, this was a lot of fun to watch. It’s has really good editing and clean shots. It is also nice to see normal people out having fun. Everyone was genuine. My only advice would be to simply how you present the points system. Explaining it multiple times isn’t necessary. Maybe a chart you can display to show everything. Either way, I really enjoyed it. Keep it up
We all know who won. It was definitely Grandpa he had the most fun. He raced around in cammaro, had a solo adventure, and got flashed by a beautiful women.
I bought one of these just to learn to drive a standard, and plan on dailying it too. His Ranger is 8 years newer, but with worse headlights. His actually looks better than mine, and my body is near perfect.
@@LegendStormcrow yeah the ‘80’s ones are cooler, and you can put round headlights in and they look dope. The old carbureted 2.9’s are loads though, I definitely prefer the “newer” 4.0’s. As in the 30 year old OHV ones lol. I’m only 31 but 1990’s is “new” to me. But having a coil pack instead of a distributor is a huge plus wheeling in the mud and water. I had an old first gen Explorer 4.0 that was a tank. I’ve had v8’s that were worse in the snow, that thing never got stuck in the snow. Mud was a different story lol. Super easy to lift with spring under, i just made shackles for the back out of flat steel, and homemade teflon coil spacers in the front. Never had an issue in the 8 years I owned it. I miss that truck.
@@matt8151 For me it was a little earlier than that. I mostly found chevettes and pintos. I did find a grand prix that was a great car. Luckily I knew how to work on them so I could keep them going.
This is a pretty damn good production for fewer than 10k subs. I think that number is gonna be jumping by a bunch - cheers from NY Edit: that Z28 could be seriously nice with a good restoration, I love the spec
As a 3rd gen specialist allow me to correct you that is a L98 not an LS or an LT. The Lt was available in the 92 corvette but not the Camaro until 1993. However it’s a nice car for 900
Yes! That's why the Lesabre in this competetion was draggin' tail. they have a load leverer that is probematic! I put standard shocks on mine. Wheredid they ever find a decent LeSabre for $200? I'll buy it back from them!
As someone that owns a 03 buick lesabre Just shows that the grandpa car is worth every penny ranging from 500 to 4k because its reliable spacious easy to maintain not mechanically difficult and its got one of the best V6's ever made in car history GM 3.8liter or we like to call it the 3800 series 2 im actually glad it won and was shown because the buick lesabre needs to be recognized on how great they are they are very heavily slept on and in my opinion they were the last sedans ever made before GM nor any company went to shit
You guys deserve way more subs then you have.. let's hope 2023 gives you guys a huge growth! This was amazing fun to watch and very good production as well!
i just now realize you have under 10k subscribers and yet the cinematography, the quality is by far better then channels 10x bigger than this!! keep it up! can't wait to see where this goes! god save the queen :v
Loved it, I think the cold start challenge should be judged by number of times it hits the compression stroke before starting, that way that Camaro gets credit where due haha
I love all the shenanigans going on in this video, all of it was really well shot especially for a smaller channel, I love to see this keep up the good work guys!
I’m only at 14:03 and I’m like “Why the hell do you have so little subs?” This is top quality, TV worthy, entertaining content. Subbed. Not sure the interview jump cuts are my favourite, I do prefer a good Top Gear/Grand Tour VO but the actual meat of the show so far is *chefs kiss*.
If you can recreate that nostalgia from top gear which your doing well so far, you may be able to attract sponsors allowing you to possibly travel to interesting places or allow for a modification budget. Maybe try reaching out? I’m not sure I just know this video was very enjoyable ❤
@MrAddicted2net my parents had a Pontiac transport minivan with the 3800, I had a 92 Bonneville NA and also a 96 Bonneville SC. All of them were mid to upper 20s. 24-28 MPG
@@mikelyons9971 OBSOLETE????? HAHA! I drive a 2000 LeSabre every day, Found one like new for 2k and LOVE it. Getting 30mpg all day! Nice luxury car! Wouldn't trade it for any 2024 car!
Watching rob try to speed shift that ranger is hysterical cause my 94 does the same shit and have actually lost a race to a diesel beetle because I missed third lol
A guy that I worked with bought an old 4WD Ford Ranger, 2.3L 4cyl with a 5spd manual transmission for an auction. It was an old Forest service pickup. He paid $500 for it. He needed a reliable little pickup as a daily driver to get him to work and home. He had it for 3 years. His commute was 100 miles per day round trip. So in 3 years he put 72K miles on his $500 pickup. When he bought it had around 300K miles on it. I was surprised that he bent a rod at less than 500K miles, but then again it was an old Ranger Service truck. My wife and I had 2 Ranger’s with the 2.3L engine. The first one was going strong at 500K miles but my wife didn’t have it in 4WD and hit a patch of ice and flipped it in a ditch and totaled it. The 2nd one lasted for 700K miles. Our 3rd Ranger had a 3.0L V6 and it started burning a LOT of oil at only 80K miles. Our current 2011 Ranger XLT super cab 4WD has the 4.0L V6, tow pkg, limited slip differential, 5spd automatic transmission. It has only 36K miles. It’s mainly used for work around our property.
That looked like a lot of fun. Check out the $3000 Budget build that HotRodGuyGarage is doing. Maybe if you do this one again, let me know. I would definitely be down. Thanks.
I think the Ranger was the winner. It looked like it was in the best shape. The Buick has no suspension ram like crap. The z28 was way over 500$ it's the 500$ challenge granted its hard to find anything now a days for 500$ that's not scrap yard material or hasn't been sitting in someone's yard/ drive for 5-10 years lol.
I can tell the host watches vice grip garage, the three finger hand movements, saying the phrase "so i did the right thing" and I think one other thing too but i forget what it was but yea definitely a vice grip fan i know one when i see one lol
My first and current car is a 2000 lesabre and theyve got a suprising amount of power behind them, aswell as being incredibly comfortable and great on fuel
You guys almost got the exact lineup from the Top Gear episode (Miami to New Orleans) lol. They had a teal F-body, white pickup, and american luxury car!
I got that truck as an '86. Darn good truck if you can find parts. Wish I could find them for your price, but my Ranger has the OG glass headlights. Glass headlights are bright. Calling it before we get going, the Ranger is going to do what Rangers do, and work just to spite the opposition. It also might not make 60. I don't have overdrive, so my top isn't the 75 of the highway. Edit: He got to 60 pretty dang quick. If he had drivin it more he would have learned the shifting better and won. Also, if he had the 2.9 V6 he would have won.
2.9L Ranger is not touching a small block. I had the lowest powered 305 (like 165 hp) in a G20 conversion van and wore my buddies much newer 3.0L Ranger out everytime he raced it.
@@LegendStormcrow Because we wanted to. I have seen soccer moms take their stock Expedition down the 1/4 mile and take out guys in bracket racing as well. Does not have to be fast, just have to beat the guy next to you and not break out or if you breakout you have to breakout less than the other vehicle you are running.
Those Ford 2.3L Lima engines, I've had lots. The big problem I had with them was connecting rod bearings. You'll probably never encounter the problem on a short test like that. Every time one went to scrap it was because of a rod bearing. Otherwise, it's one of my favorite 4 cyl engines.
just be careful if you do, I got an 1100 dollar car and it made it the ~500 km drive home, drive mint for 3 weeks, and decided it wants a front end rebuild
He said he didn't want a $10,000.oo tool bill to start as a mechanic so he got a job at a parts store. Well I started off with $200.oo worth of tools at nissan and slowly added to my collection. Been working on cars ever since, if there's a will there's a way. I showed up with a hand-me-down no name top box but all the employees welcomed me. Lol
the buick lesabre us a great car and great for the money i bought 2 of them under 600 bucks on my channel . 1 i restored and sold, 1 a white one i bought for 300 bucks and sold to my brother who passed away last year and now im going to restore it. but hope to see more videos like this from you guys. i love to see affordable cheap car challenges
Man having owned a ‘92 z28 L98 and a ford ranger this will be hard. Buicks back when it was actually a Buick would be my bet though. And cmon, that’s not even an LT motor in that camaro it’s all SBC, detuned vette motor. Not that much power but a lot of low end torque!

500 for ford ranger 😅
That Camaro is a steal. You've got people selling those in that condition or worse for over $4k. The fact that it's mechanically sound enough for what it went through, makes it the real winner for me.
what it went through? a short drive and a single 0-60 run?
They didn't get that Camaro for 900 bucks😅
2:52 but I thought point was 500$ ?
$900 for a 92 z28 running and driving? I'll take 10!
It's worth way more than that that's almost giving it away the deal of a lifetime
I paid $850 for a 1991 Geo Prizm and drove it from Florida to Iowa and back 3 times before the transmission went out.
I paid $250 for my 85 z28, all original, 124k miles, runs and drives. Interior was a little rough, and needed a tune up. Thats it. Deals exist. And frankly the 4th gen f-body was never that great, or sought after, or collectable... they are a dime a dozen. I gave my 84 berlinetta away for free cuz it was a turd.
Also, thats not an LS. Its the last generation of the SBC, know as the LT1. It is the predecessor of the LS, but a long way from performing like one. And it does not have a 4l60e in it. It has a TH400 or TH350 unless it was modified.
@@kennethatteberry6757 it's not even that it is a TPI tuned port injection that is the final year for that motor
You guys are lucky to be down south. Here in Michigan, a $500 car would be unsafe because of the amount of rust it would have.
Lol, only way to get that cheap of a vehicle in michigan is either no title or completely rusted to hell
Never stopped us in the Black Hills. 10 times more dangerous, still ran around in $500 cars. Nearly rolled one on a mountain.
Granted we had to use lots of plastic to fill the rust holes in the winter.
Same here In Massachusetts
A $1,000 car in 2022 would not be safe because it’s missing either an engine or transmission.
@@LegendStormcrow oh I feel. My Taurus has 0 floor basically, no rockers, no pinch welds either.
Honestly, this was a lot of fun to watch. It’s has really good editing and clean shots. It is also nice to see normal people out having fun. Everyone was genuine. My only advice would be to simply how you present the points system. Explaining it multiple times isn’t necessary. Maybe a chart you can display to show everything. Either way, I really enjoyed it.

Thanks for the feedback, we will definitely keep that in mind moving forward. Glad you enjoyed!
Agreed too much time on points system (its over thought ) and beat them cars a little harder. ! Still following. Cool content.
Love this frr
Grandpa is instantly my favorite
We all know who won. It was definitely Grandpa he had the most fun. He raced around in cammaro, had a solo adventure, and got flashed by a beautiful women.
Wow props to the film/editing crew for the BEAUTIFUL shots of these hoopties. And for making it feel like an old top gear challenge
I love these cheap older car challenge videos except when one of the cars is the same make and model as my daily driver. And four years newer!
😂
I bought one of these just to learn to drive a standard, and plan on dailying it too. His Ranger is 8 years newer, but with worse headlights.

When I saw the thumbnail, I was like, “Wait a minute…”
The vehicle lineup has to be a reference to the top gear alabama episode!
Watched for the camaro, subbed for the hijinks. That looked like a blast!
Why couldnt god save the queen on camera.
$500 car challenge. Pretty much describes my 20's
Yeah but a $500 car was just a normal perfectly fine car back in the ‘90s. Buy an old early 80s full size GM for years & years of trouble free.
@@matt8151
For me it was a little earlier than that. I mostly found chevettes and pintos. I did find a grand prix that was a great car. Luckily I knew how to work on them so I could keep them going.
Had to get out and tap the carburetor because it was flooding on my first car
We were supposed to stop this in our 20’s?
Radiates Top Gear energy in a good way. With a classic TH-cam spin to it. Lovely content.

Fantastic. That's what we were hoping for. Thanks for the support!

That Camero is still awesome. Having it on the streets, no matter what shape it's in, is a win to me. 😎

Either way it is a TPI motor.
TPI looked good and that's about it
As someone who owns a 2004 lesabre I hope it wins just because how reliable it's been for me (besides the cursed air suspension)
Those LeSabres are awesome, Buick is so slept on
20 min truck air shocks fill em and problem solved 👌 😉
Air shocks*

I think the Ranger was the winner. It looked like it was in the best shape. The Buick has no suspension ram like crap.

The Camaro was the clear winner 🏆 in my book
The Z28 is a TPI 305 or 350 with a 700R4.
350 car and its a 4l60 with no E. It's the same as a 700r4 just a nomenclature change by gm
Wrenching with Grandpa plus 50 for cool and power factor.....But Raven is a priceless addition for the cute sweet n sexy factor.
at least the camaro didn't have a cow on its roof

Those Ford 2.3L Lima engines, I've had lots. The big problem I had with them was connecting rod bearings. You'll probably never encounter the problem on a short test like that. Every time one went to scrap it was because of a rod bearing. Otherwise, it's one of my favorite 4 cyl engines.
When he is around the fire explaining the point system... He reminds me of a redneck Ed Bolian 🤣 great video 👍
I can't even find a car for 1000 here lol
just be careful if you do, I got an 1100 dollar car and it made it the ~500 km drive home, drive mint for 3 weeks, and decided it wants a front end rebuild
So a cheaper Camaro, but what if a V6 Ranger, either engine. Fun video guys!
With these cars its like an British top gear episode when they came to America
Great video, I had an even better time watching and laughing about this video. 😅
He said he didn't want a $10,000.oo tool bill to start as a mechanic so he got a job at a parts store. Well I started off with $200.oo worth of tools at nissan and slowly added to my collection. Been working on cars ever since, if there's a will there's a way. I showed up with a hand-me-down no name top box but all the employees welcomed me. Lol
That poor Buick :( 0-60 from factory should outrun that Camaro. She's in rough shape.
the buick lesabre us a great car and great for the money i bought 2 of them under 600 bucks on my channel . 1 i restored and sold, 1 a white one i bought for 300 bucks and sold to my brother who passed away last year and now im going to restore it. but hope to see more videos like this from you guys. i love to see affordable cheap car challenges
Good luck to you. Thanks for the support, and we're already planning for the next one!
As soon as I saw a 3rd gen Camaro in this challenge I was a bit skeptical. Not sure a 3rd gen Camaro should really be in a 500$ hooptie challenge.
Man having owned a ‘92 z28 L98 and a ford ranger this will be hard. Buicks back when it was actually a Buick would be my bet though. And cmon, that’s not even an LT motor in that camaro it’s all SBC, detuned vette motor. Not that much power but a lot of low end torque!
I’d love to have the 92 camaro
That Camaro is unreal!! Great video
I need to know where grumpy grandpa found that car 😮they won’t want crazy prices for them where I’m at even if it’s not running 🤦♂️
My 92 is worth 6000 in the terrible condition it’s in. 900 is unthinkable.
