- Mr. Goodpliers shows the experience of buying a car from another TH-camr at the Dennis Collins Restoration Revival Auction near Dallas Texas! What was sold, and what was it like? Follow along to see what this unforgettable day was like!
Thank you for coming out!! And for being so respectful with your filming. Would love to have you come by the shop anytime for a cup of Coffee - Kelsey & Dennis
Hi, at 14:45 in this video is a 64 Valiant Convertible. 4-Sale?
Definitely still a Factory wheel and caps. Can't believe how well that hood matched up. Awesome
Yeah I noticed that too
Can't believe how good that hood matches the patina on the Fairlane. As for the wheels you cannot go wrong either way .
Dennis is down to earth.... true car guy... doesnt label you... Thats why I still watch his videos.
Great video !! I have a soft spot for the 66-67 Fairlanes and Comets ! Glad to see someone is going to enjoy it !
Thank you for saving that 1967 Ford Fairlane. I had one, lots of work, had to sell it before it was done. When its complete it has a beautiful look to it, just standing still. I prefer the Cragars, but the dog dish caps are ideal for the period look.
Centerlines we’re on mine and they looked great on it.
It's really pretty solid, needs a floor pan, engine, fuel system, transmission, cooling system, complete interior etc. 🤔
Dodge dish all the way. Tim I can't believe how well that hood matched on that fairlane love that car. Great video.
Hard choice on the wheels. I'm leaning toward the Cragars but the dog bowls look pretty good too.
Kind of depends on the build you are going for; dog dish steelies for a cool sleeper or Cragars for a little more noticeable performance. Nice builder either way
Put that OG drivetrain and the OG rims. That is one straight and sexy body. Please restore it to its originality. It deserves it. This is a beautiful car from the factory.
I bought the red '73 Grand Prix! Have a super complete low mileage (rusty) factory 455 parts car with everything needed to build this one! When we picked it up, there were a couple more I realized I should have bought!
Love the Fairlane-my high school buddy called me one day to look at his-it was a Lime Gold car with a 390-he said the accelerator pedal was stuck to the floor-I got there and discovered that it was indeed stuck to the floor-after scratching my head for a minute, I realized that the car had broken in half at the torque box, and the pedal linkage was pulling the throttle open-a shame, it was a cool car-I wanted to get my own, but all of the cars in my area, (Cleveland), were hopelessly rusted-you have a very cool project!
Dennis never allowed success to change his values. I meet him in Okc during a large auction and it was like talking to you're neighbor. He took time to shske hands take photos I was impressed by him.
i meeet him to the sweetest guy around
I’d normally go with the poverty caps but those Cragars really suit it. Red interior would make it pop without or without shiny paint.
Totally agree 👍 Definitely brand new red interior.
I like it...either set of wheels...red interior...and a big block Ford
@@shaunclifton5281 I would change it to factory buckets and console car the console looked sharp in 67.
Keep the cragars on.
Ii friend off mine has matte/faded primer black one of these (390 which barely fits). He redid the red interior, and man does it pop. It transformed it from a sorta rough but solid underrated car to really neat ride.
Cragars look good on anything so do Keystones. As far as the steel wheels I prefer black wheels with raised white letter tires and dog dish caps.
The Old Fairlane actually looks pretty solid!! Alot more bones than the Chevelle looks like. Dennis always seems like a down to earth dude !!
🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing. Glad you had a good experience! 💯👊
Luvit My 1st car, I was only 14 so I never got to drive it. 6 cylinder automatic on column bench seat. Paid $60 for it from a neighbor. Ran good rebuilt engine, interior trashed, huge dent in quarter panel. Had dreams but no money. Junk yard only gave me $35 for it. I’d be interested in this one to build because of that history.
That dude who bought the Jag and was shaking hands with Dennis and Richard set the record for a solo run! Incredible. What’s more incredible is that he thought long and hard about which vehicle to use, and he had made the run before, and had friends and lots of experience. He picked a newer Mustang GT. He removed the passenger seat, the back seat, and added fuel cells such that he had 150 gallons of capacity for fuel. He put an LED light bar in the front bumper where the license plate had been. He can attest from experience that those cars top out at 159mph, a speed he says he held it at for a few hours at least! He did ONE fill up. He picked the Mustang because he did some calculations and figured that it best met some criteria, best fuel efficiency at higher speeds, with lower drag coefficient, but could be modified to hood the amount of fuel he needed to make as few stops as possible, shooting for one stop. It also needed to be able to handle high speeds well, and actually attain very high speeds. He settled on the Mustang. Here’s the kicker. It was a RENTAL! Afterwards he removed his mods, put everything back the way it was supposed to be, and replaced the tires with the exact same model. He said that when he returned it, you would have to not only know the cars inside and out to find any evidence, but you would have to know that car in particular. Incredible. Imagine doing that. Balls. Balls.
As a Coffee Walk sub, you speak the truth about Dennis. He's a genuine car guy. Steelies w poverty caps.
So much history in that yard. Great video. Standing as is - Cragars. Lowered - dog dish.
Great video,thanks for bringing us along
Nice pics! Its high time for a "Realistically, just a parts car at this point" Mr. Goodpliers shirt with your favorite crumpled up, wad of a car on a 70's glossy iron on type look. More than 40K subscribers! Take your rightful place in this odd corner of the universe!
I'm glad you got to this place. Looked like some nice iron.
Wow! That one is a blank canvas for someone to turn into a very nice ride! Can’t decide on the wheels, either looks good now. Finished project will be the deciding factor. Thanks for saving it!
Nice Fairlane project and yes Dennis is an awesome car guy , down to earth good guy.
This is one of my all time favorite Fords that I always wanted but never did find one that did not need a lot of body work. I could only find a real nice 4 dr & that just would not do. I prefer the factory steel 15" wheels with dog dish caps. I think this car deserves to be put back on the road for sure. These are getting hard to find in build-able condition. My older cousin purchased a 1967 Ford Fairlane GT. It was equipped with the 390 FE & 4 spd. top loader, bucket seats & console. I rode in it a few times, I loved the car. Thanks for another great video Tim.
Dennis is a stand up guy, there is nothing petty or financial would get in the way of his word or values, love the way he does business. Nice buy!
I considered going there to buy the 67 Chevelle but backed out on the deal! I would have met you face to face for sure! I also skipped out on the restoration revival auction in Sherman Texas. Both auctions are 30 minutes from me! Oh well, I figured I’ll just fabricate my chassis and let someone else enjoy the Super Sport!
I had my eye on the 1969 Belvedere. It went pretty cheap. Just have too much going on to take on another project car.
"pretty good other than the floors" Love it.
Factory steelies with dog dish caps for sure. That hood matches perfectly. Now pull the drivetrain out of the parts car and put it in that one. Get her going!
The 66-67 fairlanes are my favorite bodystylee and I also like the 68-69 ones too! My Family has a 67 fairlane!
The alloy wheels are amazing. Hey I just found your videos last week. I watch them every night now. Just great - thanks for making them.
Welcome to the channel Dave! Thanks for stopping by!
I worked for myself all of my life. I have met millions of people. After a while you learn to read people. I think and I hope that Dennis honest as the day is long.
Thank you so much for saving the cringe and editing out and audible RR babble. DC seems legit / grounded.
love that fairlane tim i think you should build it. i’m in the uk. watch dennis on youtube and fast and loud etc but i think you are pretty much as famous as dennis love you’re videos thanks for sharing
Tim that's a tough one to decide between the two styles of wheels. I love both, lol. I would probably put the Crager's on the front with skinnys and the poverty caps on the back with 50's to make it look like an old drag car from back in the day 😎
love it with the cragers i have been around 65 years and cragers the wheels that make anything look good they never go out of style.
Mags is my favorite look and would be a keeper for its backstory.
mags looks great
im not a ford man but that ford hits the spot.
Mr. B. Here ! Congratulations ! 🧰🔧🛠️🪛⚒️👍🇺🇸
I like the dog dish steelies on the Fairlaine. I was thinking buyers would pay more because it makes it look unmolested and original. (If I saw them for sale, I will run to see the one with the steelies first. (it’s a psychological thing.)My couple of cents worth, but you are the professional seller) The hood looks great as well! Happy selling!
Afternoon Tim, on the Ford Fairlane, I like Cragar wheels on the right car, but the stock painted wheels & dog dish hub caps are my choice..
I agree with your description of Dennis. He bought my XKE Jag from me. Very down to earth guy.
He buys jeeps like they're going out of style 🚗
I would put 15 inch steel wheels with whitewalls and poverty caps.
Steel wheels I like the sleeper look going to make a nice ride.thanks for your time and hard work
Id rather watch your channel than that Coffee Walk Channel.... hes too much Yakety Yak. Some of his hype bothers me... good score on the Fairlane.... too many Mustang's, Camaros etc.
Go with the Cragars, DEFINITELY !!! Keep the NOS
I rode in a 1967 Fairlane when it was 3 years old. It was identical to that one and it had bucket seats with a console.
I'm a chevy guy but that Fairlane with the cragars just looks right
I would've killed to be at this auction. Dennis Collins is an awesome guy with great taste in cars.
'67 Failaine sure is a good looking car.
Love that model, one day maybe I might get one?? very rare Downunder, but those Cragar S/S's are the go in my humble!
I will trade you my 2009 PT cruiser for that fairlane!
That 67 Fairlane is sweet. I definitely like the original steel wheels with the dog dish hub caps.
Thanks for sharing the footage. Fortunately guys like you captured the moment and will live in infamy with the Cannonball Jag
😍Oh wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍
Have no idea who Dennis Collins is, I don't who the cars belong to, it's the cars for me that catches my attention!
That Fairlane surely has to be a keeper. I'd love it.
Great patina looks good with the Cragars.
That hood is perfect. Mags for sure
The Ole Fairlane is beautiful ! My first ride was a 65 galaxy 500 w/289 hi po 4 dr.detectives car given to me at 16 yrs old by a retired sherrif neighbor,, I loved that car.
If sellers actually desire is to save cars from the crusher , isn't putting an automatic $250 opening bid by a salvage company make little sense? It's even worse with tractors. I've seen hundreds of good parts tractors as well as many restorable get dropped into the dumpsters and hauled for recycling when acrap prices are up..
I want a close up of that bus, behind the Flane. We have 59 ford 36 pass, carpenter coach, needs lots of glass, but a really solid old bus.
That fairlane looks great with just a few more parts and I prefer the steel wheels on it! Your collection of parts and cars looks like it's getting out of hand, like organized chaos!!!
Those 66-67 Fairlanes always look best with magnum 500 or cragers.
Keep the stock wheels, and add a 351C with a C6
Definitely the mag wheels on that Ford would look very Cool
If you are going to paint it, go the Cragers. Keeping the patina look, Dog dish for sure. As others have said tho' either way it's gotta be a new red interior. Hope this one gets back on the road sooner, rather than later, so bring it up the food chain to near the top.
I'm not sure but Ford may have offered the "styled steel wheels" that year on Fairlanes in addition to the Mustang. I like factory full-wheel covers but that year looks good with the hub caps and matching color steel rims.
You are correct. Those would actually be a middle compromise of the two - a chrome wheel offered by the factory. I wish I had a set of them around here, I would have put them on to try out that look too
Cragers looks good for cruising, but the dog dish steelie look gives it that sleeper look, making you wonder what's under the hood.
Steel wheels with a dog dish caps you got a white car with chrome accents white Wheels with chrome accents that looks bomb and it's correct they look a lot better on it then the cragar Wheels do
The king of the 1960s wheels was Cragar SS wheels. Fixed up stock or modified this Fairlane would be totally set off by these wheels as compared to the stock wheels and hubcaps (especially if this car would stay factory white).
Those dog dish caps are '66.
Watch an episode of the old Dragnet TV series to see the '67 caps.
Always have been a fan of the Ford dog dish caps with steelies.
My dad had a 1967 Ford fairlane convertible. This was back in the mid 80s, he owned a car lot .
I miss my old ‘67 Fairlane. Some kind soul put a 429/4bbl in it and boy did it move. 20mpg didn’t hurt either. Metal flake on copper brown color was very nice looking paint.
Flip a coin on the wheels. Both great options. Really enjoyed the video.
Stock wheels, great video
I'd go with the steel wheels and caps, I wonder if the rims are station wagon wheels, they are wider from the factory and many a hotrodder used them in the day.
Steelies with the dog dish caps. She's a keeper for sure. Having a parts car sure helps.
Looks good with Cragars
The Cragars look awesome on the Fairlane.
I whould go with the mags and get a 427 hood, give it the super stock look of the 66 & 67 factory cars.
damn the ford you bought is in great shape!!!!!
Kinda diggin' the Cragars on it with the Wimbledon white.
Pity the Fairlane isnt in Australia, These early fairlanes are much sought after here, but all Australian ones were four doors. This would be worth 30 - 40 k as is over here.
Bottom line is what you bought and gave you chores to finish what you already have around. That's a smart move
I like it better with the mag wheels, which makes it look like a whole different car....
On the 67 Fairlane, steelies and dog dishes (poverty caps) look great!
Definitely cragars. Late modal fox body ft suspension swap and 90s t bird cougar rear suspension swap and some sort of cyotey mill and trans for crusing
Factory caps look awesome.
That's a hot looking body with those mags!!! Really like it even if it's not a Mopar.
With the patina it looks great with the steelies and caps but the Cragars have a lot going for them. I heard of a guy who did this on a driver, blew a few minds
Mags that car will be beautiful when finished hope you do that
The steelies & poverty caps, keep it stock...(except under the hood!)😁
👍🇺🇸😎
Love the fairlane
Whitewall tires with original full wheel cover
