Today, as we prepared for the Christmas Tree World Championship, we realized our Mustang, McFlurry, had a critical engine issue. That being said we dug ol Ruby out of the barn and slapped her back together, the results were amazing!

That second pass she was SMOOTH... this car just works good in the mid 7 second range!
Nice
Please be Ruby!!!
🦅🇺🇸🎄
Kick rocks! (Just kidding)
McFlurry is the redheaded stepchild that nobody wanted
Jackstand is truly a master at his craft. Human ET calculator, wheelman, killer on the tree, madman with a set of tools and the knowledge of anything and everything. That man is the definition of eat, sleep, breath drag racing. If it’s been thought of he’s been there done that already. He goes home and does the same thing after work. Got the wittiest sayings and comebacks. He don’t quit! He’s a legend in my book!
Yes sir he is a great guy to have in the crew. I thought he and cleetus were old friends.
He’s my favorite on the channel. By far.
@ He’s definitely a valuable piece of the puzzle. I’m inspired to be like him in a sense. Stellar employee, coolest of friends and a family man. I know what you mean! They get along like childhood buddies that grew up together.
@ he takes the crown for sure! Dudes as gangster as it gets
He's the next sam
Ruby and Leroy side by side on Christmas tree drags is what the world needs.
Yessir!
Indeed
Absolutely
The two cars that made this channel to be honest ❤
Best idee ever
Ruby was by your side when you proposed to Maddie.
Ruby brought us Mr Sam.
Ruby reminds us to do it for Ed every pass.
Leroy is a Savage but Ruby is by far the people's champ.
Neighbor is the OG though and was literally owned by Ed.
@@Ole_CornPopyou're not wrong but I think they meant that ruby literally says "do it for ed" on the back
Leroy is the people's champ 🏆 what planet you on bro
I miss RUBY the auction vette and then she got tossed aside ... And now she's a Christmas miracle❤
Leroy is the people's champ you sir are delusional
Ruby is literally the McRib. Shows up in the fall, everyone goes crazy, and then it’s taken away and we riot in the streets lol!!
Put some more respect on rubys name. Not to be compared with a fast food abomination
MINI TRX HEMI BROTHERS TSHIRT PLEASE!
cleet already forgot about Sliding the spark into the space at the beginning of every videos XD
Exactly I just commented the same thing. I'm def a lil upset. I love seeing that
Probably means he made it and is just waiting to post the video
Probably means e filmed this before he started the challenge
This video was started way before I think!
Yall are goofy, james called him out in the beginning when they walked outside!
I love that Sam cares for ruby as much as we do. Sam is really the mvp of the channel in every aspect and we’re so glad you got him on the team. We love you Sam and the team!
Raise a glass for Dr. ShineEmAll!
@@3lectronaut7 Ruby's gettin' that prescription spray wax!
Lovvvveee James building ruby again, it’s like seeing someone reunited with his old love. Brought a smile to me. Thank you for bringing her back. Been watching since 2017. So happy to see her back on the channel.❤
100%. On attempt #6 of turning her over 15:40~... James and Cleet didn't even flinch 😂.
My favorite car, especially with James behind the wheel. I don’t know, it’s the kind of car I want to see dominate its category. To me, it’s one of the most entertaining vehicles and a perfect representation of the channel.
Ruby is still to this day one of the best sounding cars in the fleet. She sounds like an absolute beast. Love seeing her back
Big cubic inch, fair amount of boost through a downpipe will do that lol
Seeing and hearing Ruby spool up like she always did and make that first pass made me smile like I haven't smiled in months. Ruby is the people's car, the people's choice and the people's champ.
15:43 James is a stone cold killer he never flinched one bit when that thing backfired😂
What?
I thought the same, didn’t move a muscle 😂😂
He probably can't hear it anymore.
He'll I jumped just watching the vid
@@ericfarrar6607 A. Click the time stamp
B. USE YOUR EYES AND EARS
C. Would you like a picture drawn with crayons?
D. Stands for dumb if you can't figure it out
Sam is a real LEGEND! The glint in his eyes working on the the stable ponies makes it all worth it. Merry Christmas guys, really enjoyed this one.
21:17 Cleet laughing at the signature belt squeak. 🤣RUBY IS BACK!
That auction corvette is what brought me to your channel! A nice early Christmas gift
Jack stand ate that first fireball like a G
Yeah haha, didn’t even flinch.
@@xtravagentk1275 dude was like a statue. 😂
Same those video got me watching the channel 5 years ago
You mean the give away Corvette that Garret has always hated because she had an old truck engine in it?
You can see Ruby smile (bottom of the bumper bending from SPEED) at 30:46. What a time to be alive
she really does lol 💯❤🔥 awesome!!!
That's pretty cool huh. She looks excited to be going again.
Wish I could think of the name, but that grin _almost_ starts looking like a Mazda lol
@microbuilder it reminds me of the chevron cars back in the day 🤣
beat me to it :D
Jackstand is one hell of a mechanic! It's great Dad let him pull it out of the barn for this event. Nice work you guys are doing a fantastic job.
15:42 everyone jumps and jackstand didn't even BLINK! 🤣
Jimbob's got forged steel nerves and asbestos eyebrows
George smashed his fingers in a car door right before he was going to drag once and he didn't flinch then either.
ATIVAN??🤣
Beat me to it. He’s deaf 😂
Ruby brought me to Cleetus. It was a suggested video when they dropped the video of them buying her, it was my first t-shirt bought “McFarland Fabrication”, haven’t missed a video since. I can’t be anymore excited. Thank you!
I found em not too long before. Ruby was the first one I watched get built from the time it was acquired. Love me some Ruby.
@@goosenotmaverick1156 Same. For me it was the silly on the street stuff they did with the Dale Truck that brought me to the channel! Going to Taco Bell n stuff. I came for the Dale Truck and stayed for the guys and the other cars!
@@djjazzyjeff1232 I came to the channel sometime right before the transition of Leroy from supercharged to turbo, and ive been hooked ever since. 🤣
Same here. It's why i'm here. Auction corvette, etc etc.
Watching the the front lip open up at 30:45 and then be fully open by 30:49 as if ruby’s smiling/showing gratitude for bringing her back is awesome!
I was smiling with her.
Never noticed this before! ❤️🎄
i didnt notice that haha she is just happy to be back making passes
I love it!! The car that brought me to the channel, I have watched every video since!! The day you guys flew to look at Ruby and saw the iron block in her was the day my TH-cam watch list changed. She is also the only car in the fleet I have got to see in person. I just love to see her going down the track, the way she sets, the way she lifts going down the track! She is just beautiful.
12:00 nothing better than getting to watch ol’ Jack stand Jimmy throw together a hotrod at the last minute 😢 it’s truly a thing of beauty ❤
Even better she on jack stands getting worked on 💪🏽
Yes!! It kind of broke my heart to see Ruby just rotting in the background. She's back, baby!
SO stoked for it!!
Nah. It’s just an old beater ‘vette.
@@danmyers9372 Just like yo mamma
Man I have had a crap year but seeing Ruby brought out made me smile like a little kid again. May have teared up a little. Hell yeah brother love Ruby ❤️
I was cracking up at that belt squeal! I've never believed more that cars have such personalities, all the attempts to get it running, the squeal, then it just WORKS!
@15:43 Jimmy didn't even flinch!! Can't say so much for squirrel🤣
Right 😂 shits loud as hell, didn’t budge lol
That belt squeak made me smile! Can u bring back letting random people take ruby down the track. Watching Travis P and heavy D drive ruby was gold!
car was rebuilt 3 or 4 times still has the same belt squeak
@@Taxevader-gk9msdefinitely has something on the pulley system that’s just a little crooked
So good to see Ruby back ... she brings back memories for me. Gotta Say I just love how G.M. brings the best out of everyone around him and activates their spirit to shine!
That is a really enviable characteristic for a human of Today!
Merry Xmas Boys!!!
🎋🎄🎄🎄🎋
I KNEW she'd be back! I love what Ruby has become on this channel. "Did you sabotage mcflurry?" "Uh, no"
Ruby has always been the "throw it together" car and that's why everyone loves it. Plus it was Sam's first car he did for them.
Yep ruby was sams audition
It was a long plan
wonder when Ruby will go away again love seeing her come back
Brought back some nostalgia seeing ruby and then watching Jackstand work on her. Glad to see it!
Thank you Jackstand for thinking of Good OG Ruby and getting her back out on the strip. She was ready for her return. Seeing Sam bring the shine back to the girl and then give her a hug was so heartwarming!!
Love how far as a crew you guys of come. From junkyard engines to pro built. Being in a position to do more things that keep us entertained. Merry Christmas too all
13:43 I love the time lapse music, every time I hear it I feel like everything is right with the world.
True
That's at 11:43. But I agree completely, I do like that Cleet's never changed it.
I would love to know the name of it
“Come Tomorrow” by George’s Town@@svenngunnarrustgard1228
It’s the same music from a game called Kingdom for kefflings hits me in the feels every time
i am as excited is sam about ruby being back!! the belt, the noises rippin a 7.7 outta the barn what cant you love
…. The memories of Jackstand, Ruby, timelapses, and that instrumental… A staple of this channel, a true classic.
To think the very first video i ever watched on here was when you bought Ruby so good to see you bring this bad girl back to life missed seeing Ruby
Ruby is the most neglected dialed car. She sits, she gets thrown back together. She runs mid 7s. Breaks, goes to the barn to collect dust. Gets thrown back together in a pinch... mid 7s. Oh... and dont forget the bald eagle belt screech. And absolutely love the turbo spool.
Need a consistent Cleetus in Eagle and Leroy, Jackstand in Ruby and Mullet 2.0, George with the comedic relief and Rocky. Then the crew of Ty Zach Sam Nate and Pete all rounding out an awesome team.
Ruby hooked me on this channel. The consistent runs in racing doing drag n drive. You can go really fast with enough money but to do it consistently and really know your car... That's Ruby
Same brother, first video I ever watched was them dragging Ruby from the wreckers years ago when it was first released. Proceeded to watch the back catalogue and been a viewer ever since!
That's when I started watching as well. Him and Cooper winning the auction and going to pick her up.
i always loved ruby as a bracket car, Jackstand always just had her dialed in.. And it was neat watching you let people drive it.
It really should be one. It's always dialed in so well. Ik Cleet hinted on a podcast (idr which one) he was building a car that anyone could hop in an rip an 8s pass in (I think a Camaro).. but Ruby is literally already that car. Pretty sure there's a video from several years ago of letting a bunch of different people run passes in it.
I use to watch this channel once in a while when it was just Leroy. Been a subscriber since the first bought an auction Corvette video. Ruby had so many engines because she always got the hand me downs. She's sexy. The only car in the fleet that gives me that nostalgic weekend races feeling. Sam's a smart man. Knows what cars deserve the love. 😊
I’ve been watching since turbo whistles and setting Christmas trees on fire. Ruby is definitely best girl and Sam makes her shine. So happy to see her back.
I love that it got a rebuilt motor and a new belt and some how still has the infamous belt screech we know and love from ruby
I hope they never replace the tensioner and just keep reusing it 🤣
For an OG Cleeter fan you have Leroy, Ruby then the rest of them. Needless to say I'm happy. This made my day
Ruby is seriously ICONIC. She's just as important as Leroy. She is as much of the channel as Leroy. Ruby MUST be at Christmas tree drags every year. I would much rather see at the drags instead of McFlurry. McFlurry is cool don't get me wrong but he just compare to ol Ruby. Ruby gets me hyped. She's a bad mamba jamba. She's always reliable and consistent. She would make a great bracket car. I bet they could dial her in to run exactly 7.50 each pass
Winning the auction for Ruby was my first Cleatus video. It is good to see her back.
💯
The car that lead me to cleet! And even with notifications on I check TH-cam daily for a video! Fell in love with Ruby and the rest followed suit! So glad to see her back out there!!
Jackstand is the hero of this channel. Everyone brings something to the table and time and time again he shines
❤ I'm 53 yr old Canadian..ive been here since way before Ruby...I still remember the disappointment in Cleetus's face when he realized she had an iron block lol...Ruby is back baby !!!.. HELL YEAH BROTHER !!
Me too where you from? I'm from MB.
Me too from BC
@@kylearcher5534Bc guy here too.
The give away Corvette that was never given away
That iron block was what made it special lol
It was meant to be ! Thanks James for bringing Rudy back to life and making me so happy ! Love you guys , Merry Christmas to you’ll 🙏🏻
YESSSS!!! This is exactly what was needed. Love mcflurry, but Ruby has the heart of the people ❤
It is weird..however many vehicles you get in the fleet with crazy mullet and now eagle wich is a totally INSANE car...and Leroy the madman. There is something so so so special about ruby. I remember her with the old crappy block and all the iterations she has been through , the stickers on the back and on the dash but this is STILL a beautiful car. I love how sam makes this one shine so incredibly well. This is the best christmas present i could ask for to see old ruby shined up and back in action. I just gotta say to the whole team and all the fans. Have a merry christmas and i hope the new year will bring you all joy and peace.
I started watching at the beginning of the ronies, and Ruby was what the channel was going hard on then. She will always be my favorite.
ETA: Made it a few minutes further in and have Ruby, a time lapse, and the greatest timelapse song of all time playing. Brings tears to my eyes.
ronies?
The year shit went stupid. I believe thats what he's referring to.
Ruby is what drew me to this channel. My favorite for sure.
Seeing Ruby back out and getting shined up plus a time lapse on her just makes my heart so happy!
What better way to end the year, than to have ruby return!!
Bang for the buck, nothing beats good ‘ol Ruby. And when you see Sam with his sweatshirt tucked in, cloth in hand, heading toward Ruby, man it’s going to be a great day.
Before anything else. Thank you so much for bringing Ruby back out! The fanbase knows and loves her, myself included!
Still hoping for a big screw blower and a hat on Ruby, but boy it was good to see her up and running like the train she is. Dependable and consistent.
Maybe she earned a torque tube rebuild…or better yet, a back half like Leroy?? One can only dream of a blown engine and zoomies with a real solid axle setup on the ol girl. ❤
I love the more raw less edited videos. Y’all are so genuine, people like seeing behind the scenes!
21:26 how has ol Ruby been through countless engines and Dale knows how many belts/pulleys and she still doing her lil bald eagle screech 😅🙌🏻🤙🏻
Ruby LIVES!!!!!!
I remember when you got Ruby and you were drinking mountain dew (bartleskeets) in every video and people were saying you should call her "Code Red" 😂
Why does seeing Ruby just put a smile on my face. I'm so happy to see her back out!
Hey Cleet, from a random fan, thanks for keeping the ol' girl around and bringing her back!! I'm not Turbo Whistle OG, but the first video I ever saw was of a young Giraffe at the auctions getting himself a little red Corvette. I know amongst Eagle, Mullet, Leroy and the rest, she'll get dusty between those heroic runs, but truly, thanks for keeping her. Your vids helped more than I can express. They still do.
Priceless.!! Cleet said . “. I hate cars with radiators”. I love this guy. They all kill me. I couldn’t stop watching you guys if I could..😂
Having ruby come out every Christmas makes my heart happy 🌲❄️ Merry Christmas boys
HELLL YEAHHH BROTHER BRING BACK OG JUNKYARD RUBY, SUPER HYPED. good memories of that car and the build to what it is now.
Saw Ruby shining in the background of the last video knew it!!!
I thought I was the only one that noticed
I thought we were getting a blazer video, it had full turbo kits on it in the last vid
It had the American flag turbos off Leroy too
@@freedommike4862 I'm always looking for Ruby! Such an awesome car
@@load6027 Am I forgetting something? American flag turbos?
Ruby was what got me watching!! Always love seeing her.
Same for me! I saw the first junkyard find video and kept going!
seems like there's a lot of us haha that's awesome. such a great car.
Rest in peace ed the neighbor. Seeing ruby reminds me of the whole bring up! I love seeing her back oit
Ruby out killing it. Gotta admit I was feeling it all video. She really has grown on us. Ruby for the win!
Its a Christmas miracle... Ruby lives!!!
Do it for ED! He was such a cool guy. I'm glad to see the ol' girl back out rippin up the asphalt. Merry Christmas fellas!!
Been waiting to see the rubster again for a long time! She was the first build i watched from beginning to end on this channel and ive loved her ever since
Same man it’s crazy seeing how cars he’s came it’s amazing
I get to pull out my “high on freedom, low on oil pressure” shirt!
Same story here I've watched ever since he first purchased ruby was the absolute first time I had ever seen this channel haven't turned away since
same here shes the reason i watch every single video.
OMFG!!!!! She’s alive the OG Ruby is back at it. Don’t care how fast your other cars are Ruby has got a special place in my heart that is around the time I discovered you’re channel and thought this is the coolest car I’ve ever seen from the junk yard back on the channel!
17:20 - I knew as soon as a counter popped up on the screen, it was gonna be a bad time 😂
I love how the video is "complete" it was most likely filmed over long time but well edited together. Good job :) glad to see ruby run again
LETS GO. Shes the reason I even started watching the channel. The day you found her!!!! RUUUUBBYYYYYY
This one will always have a special place to me…It always reminds me of Ed; glad he’s not forgotten 😢
I saw the title and was bummed when they had McFlurry out first. Ruby’s always had a special place in my heart for some reason. She was never the fastest but always fun to watch.
Hey, Garrett. Just wanted to say you and Roman donating $10,000 to the Veterans last weekend in Mar A Lago was a heck of a thing. You're a good guy. You and Maddy looked DIALED too. 👌🏼
This is why cleet is amazing
Yes absolutely!
Fricking love Ruby and her belt squeal
The return of Ruby. It's a Christmas miracle!!!!
I can't lie though. I would like to see the shop security camera footage of James pouring a gallon of rusty water into the cylinders of McFlurry's Coyote six months ago.
😏
It's like Christmas came early! Ruby has been my background on my work computer forever. Love that Ole girl
Love, love, love, love that Ruby is back. Missed the ole Girl. She is a true gem.
@19:09 Ilove how mr sam is just mr sam even when the camera aint directly on him can just see him through rubys rear window and point as JT revs ruby then matches the fire ball with the fireball motion with his hands
Man "do it for Ed" just hits the feels different all these years later. RIP Ed! True legend of the channel!
OG’s will always want to see Ruby back in action 🤘
Ruby is the ultimate comeback king. Just needs a few days to get back into shape and then back in the ring to kick some ass
Just like Kim Kardashian 😂
@Jeff-gu6nb absolutely
Rubies the reason I found this channel and I’ve haven’t stopped watching since just bought my first cleet shirt too. I wish he would put more love into her
Love that Ruby still has the belt squeals! Everything about that car from motor breaks, to motor installs to time slips is suoer consistent.
Now this is the content I love! Thank you for putting ruby back together! I have been a subscriber since the beginning. This car means a lot to us all!
Ruby was always the most consistent car on the channel... right down broadway 9 times out of 10 or better. Love seeing her again 🥰
Yes let’s goooooo I love McFlurry don’t get me wrong but ruby with a Christmas tree just had that Christmas spirit 😊
So ready to see Ruby!! Drag week with ruby was some of the best videos ever made on TH-cam
Ruby!!! ❤ Little lady doesn't have to be the fastest in the fleet, it's just good to have her back and running.
Finally get to see Ruby back in the spotlight. Missed this car
My all time favorite car! I have been watching since before ruby but fell in love with her as soon as she was introduced
So happy to see Ruby coming out of the barn . Made my day!!!!!!
Lmao 15:43 Jack stand was as solid as a rock 🤣 I even jumped with my headphones on full blast 😂😂😂
The blazer when it had a blower was my favourite. George was always so happy to drive that thing. Bring back the blower blazer please
Nah, ruby should get a big block big blower and big tire for George to drive drag n drive
that thing with George in it was a liability and payout waiting to happen
Hands down jack stand is the definition of a mechanic
Idk. I like George as a personality on the channel but that dude can not drive for jack shit. Has wrecked literally everything he's touched.
I love the Blazer 😂😂😂😂
Ruby was the reason I started watching you all on the first build, first time trying to get it down the track all those years ago
Ruby reminds me of a sunset over the hills of East Tennessee, ruby is the peoples red rocket. Thank you for bringing back memories
