    Absolute steal, Ben! Do everything you can to return to factory, especially the hood stripes and pins. It’s what makes the car the car.

    • @mhmetts3
      @mhmetts3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Exactly! Like if you're going to replace the washer fluid bottle, put the hood pins and stripes back on. Making it all OEM is where the value is

    • @SDevoAU
      @SDevoAU ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Ben make it back to stock with the how it came from the factory! Will be sweet when done!

    Dude, freaking blessed! That's such a steal of a deal. Good for you dude. You are always helping out Samcrac with his Ferrari rebuilds and the goozquad frame repairs. What goes around comes around dude and this is proof. So freaking stoked for you. 😊

    I like the quick turn around on repaired vehicles and the different variations that this channel offers. It doesn’t have to be a supercar every rebuild. ❤❤❤

    KEEP THE HOOD PINS!!! The hood pins, the Plum Crazy purple paint, the pistol grip shifter, it's all a throwback to the 1970 AAR Cuda. Keep it original!

    Ben, you are absolutely nailing it! Not only are you expanding your horizons with the parts project, but you just keep on falling on your feet. The Challenger is a brilliant buy. As we say in the UK, a nice little earner. The way the content is changing by giving us lots of variety to watch is great...loving it already. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Bob

    Awesome find you're not lucky the vehicle started right up, you're just blessed. Your content always shows how hard you work for what you got. Keep up the good work I always look forward when I get a notification that your new video is posted. Anyways stay safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas

    Ben: starts up a parts company and buys cars to part out
    also ben: buys cars and instead of parting them out, rebuilds them lol
    Way to save the muscle cars Ben!!!

    Keep the Challanger with same options as the build sheet, will be worth more in the future.

    What a steal of a deal . Never seen a bigger smile then today. Its like Christmas already :D

    Ben back in 1980 I bought a Plum Crazy 1970 Challenger with pistol grip & console. That was a really cool car. I have to say the modern version with pistol grip is really cool. Like some of the other guys have said I think the real value is returning the car back to original with hood pins & stripes. The old school folks like them like that! Great video and I am looking forward to seeing you get this beast back on the road!

  • @suecobandito8954
    @suecobandito8954 ปีที่แล้ว +53

    Home run. You can remove the shaker and place a regular used hood until new one comes in. Daily drive and hold the stripes until the new hood comes in. Great buy.

  • @yamantarakji
    @yamantarakji ปีที่แล้ว +31

    a piece of advice, I think the audience including me would love to see footage of the cars cruising, ripping, and sounding great after you finish them. try including that in the videos every now and then

    • @OurAdventure_Awaits
      @OurAdventure_Awaits ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Stay the way you are and the way you treat the cars. Don't get on the road and rip and raise cane like other people we know.

  • @bmwbob51
    @bmwbob51 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    What a deal. I'm impressed with how you're able pull it apart and put it back together! I mean swap the chassis was nut on the truck!

  • @frederickhillegas2115
    @frederickhillegas2115 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    You have to keep it original. Do the stripes and hood pins. That's what makes it a Shaker.

  • @Tbob17
    @Tbob17 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I agree with everyone,,, keep the pins, stripes etc…Oem is the way to go with this car…and your tremor turned out great

  • @NeoM018
    @NeoM018 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Your experience and always willing to learn has led you to this bargain where others could not see it. Nice one man and congrats. Looking forward to another quick built. ❤🇿🇦🐐

  • @mikemissel7785
    @mikemissel7785 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You were like a kid on Christmas morning when you realized it started. The pistol grip is a old school touch my neighbor has a 70 Charger and it has the hood pins and 4 speed transmission.

  • @poetgarcia8207
    @poetgarcia8207 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yep I agree with you. That’s a clean title clean car.

  • @danielfiske9849
    @danielfiske9849 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Fantastic buy. Somebody at the auction was either lazy trying to start it, or they were saving it for themselves to buy.

  • @RichBartholomew
    @RichBartholomew ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The hood pins help keep the hood down during high speed wind force will rip that tiny hood latch apart lol

  • @stephenrussell9518
    @stephenrussell9518 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Good score Ben but make sure you rebuild it back the way it was including the stripes and hood pins that way you can get top dollar for it . 💰💰👍🏻

    You should save that spoiler for your black 'Stang, it looks mean and cool, but that's just my personal taste. It's awesome the content you have put together for us. Maybe every now and then fixing a boring car on video can do when there's not that much content around. I always enjoy whether it's a Nissan or a Ferrari rebuild, I like how you think through things the way you do. :)

    I had a bed cover come off an F150 and hit the front of my 2017 Charger Daytona 392 (25,000 miles, redline red tri coat). It caused a little more than $12,000 in damage, and the insurance company fixed it. The body shop had to replace the front bumper, radiator, condenser, both fans, one fog light, and all the front plastics. Thankfully none of the airbags blew. Make sure you use OEM parts on the car, the aftermarket parts are plentiful, but don't fit well at all.

  • @Mike-ww5vr
    @Mike-ww5vr ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Nice find! You have to keep the hood pins on the car! It's a throwback to the muscle car era of the '70s! It's a Motorhead thing but they need to stay on there! It would be a disservice of the car not to do it! Can't wait to watch you fix it!

  • @larsmanson9577
    @larsmanson9577 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm sure you can find a company that makes a carbon fiber shacker hood that would look killer and since the shacker doesn't look functional I'd look into a Paxton super charger or an ATI pro charger for it and turn it up and you'd have a hellcat killer on a budget .

  • @Amxracer
    @Amxracer ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Cool 😎. You could sell the Mustang shell to a builder to make a Drag Car out of it .

  • @claytonrodriguez6815

    You got a good deal on that one. Clean title to boot! Yes get the Shaker Hood back on the car and get rid of the stupid stripes if anything put the matte black RT stripes on the side.
    I have seen the scat pack RT challenger shaker with the RT side stripes looks great get a rear window louver for the back glass.yes it is a high option car for sure and a rare 6 SPD Also going to be a sweet ride when fixed and can and will smoke the mustang 👍👌✌️

    I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I gotta say my brother; YOU ARE A BEAST working on those cars and trucks!! You make it look so easy and fun. I was what they called a, "miscellaneous" mechanic back in the late 80s, doing small repairs on cars at one of our large dealerships here in Cincinnati Ohio, and also putting together conversation vans. I have a 2010 Ford F-150 lariat which needs some electrical and other minor work done to it and I was feeling a little overwhelmed with working on it. But after watching you put that Ford Tremor together it boosted me up 😅!! I love the videos my brother, keep up the good work 👍🏽
