My dad would always do that. He’d take his pocket knife and cut it out, then tell the seller he can cut it all out if he wanted.

@@johnpossum556 That's right. He doesn't try to be anyone other than who he really is. His knowledge is what is impressive! I also like his style and he doesn't try to impress anyone in that regard. He just wears a hat, t-shirt, bluejeans and shoes. What else, does a man need to wear anyway? He reminds me of a younger version of my Uncle who also knows what he is talking about when it comes to automobiles. I hope I get the opportunity one day to shake his hand and let him know how much he has helped me learn about cars through his videos. Take care John and I hope you and yours enjoy this day! Peace 🙂

Our Uncle Tony is from New York, and also a Old Punk Rocker, sort of explains a lot of see where I'm coming from, I'm not young, but the older punks in my area Southern California, are very much like Uncle T, Casue being A Douche Bag isn't aloud, my Two Pennies on the floor.. Oi oi oi my brothers..

@@AtZero138 I hear ya. I'm in my early 40's and if I had to guess I would say he is about 10 years older than me. Fortunately, I had a decent childhood and grew up in the Southeastern USA. The music was cool and I listened to punk and thrash metal for the most part. When the early 90's came around, grunge exploded as you know. I miss that time in life and I'm really thankful that I grew up when I did. Peace

I second that.

@@AtZero138 I'm an old school LA punk too...I can relate. Those who are cool, have nothing to prove...

Like my mother always told me not everything that shines is gold !

Good point.I bought my 1960 Studebaker because it had a pretty nice paint job.Once I had it,I looked at it a bit harder and I found that there was 'fuckery afoot',lol.

Jerry Navarro Lol I can hear her saying it !

What you said, so true! I bought an 04 Grand Am, clear coat was pretty much gone, but looked ok, not really pretty. Mechanically, it would go anywhere with no issues at all! In this case, pretty paint job car and weak mechanically, or weak paint and strong mechanically? No brainer decision!

I love This channel, but today is the first time I learned, that car with lots of visible damage, doors, and wipers that dont work, with steering wheel thats at an angle to drive it straight, misfire, weak braking,striped roof, crocked hood, rusted back window frame, deadly tires is an honest car :) All joke aside, I would love if I could repair this things like You do. For You this is probably awesome car that will be in very nice state in no time at all.

A friend can also follow behind you to see stuff you can't see while test driving it.

@@aramondehasashi3324 Oh Hell yeah.. ever seen a Classic Dog Legging or Tracking side ways.. it will feel like the alignment is off, but it's actually the rear end has some how misaligned.. Buddy system Always..

yes very important! all my friends asked me to look at cars... mostly bc i did this for a living...had a classic car dealership when i was 21 y/o back in the 80's... Back then it was a lot more fun to do this lol

Find someone to bring with a skeptical and investigative nature. A friend or companion along can influence you to buy something you may be siding towards avoiding! Side note, that steering wheel just doesn't fit that car!😄

Also: Never forget not to have a bath or shower for several months, to grow a scraggly beard and wear your local tramp's clothes when you go to see the car. These guys are the worlds best con men ever.

Nice find! Even if its a 2 barrel car,it's a big block a slick rebuild mild mannered 383 and have a low 12 second 1/4 mile daily driver with 3.23 gears that's tame,low compression,pump gas it is and has been done! My buddy is a damn good engine builder,he does my engines and they all run 12.0's and quicker with 3.23 gearing and street tires...A few are strokers a few not,I usually test them for him as I am a animal with my cars! If they hold up with me,he knows he can sell them to his customers lol.. Remember they had 3 different 383's..the 2bbl was lower compression different heads/cam etc than the 383 4bbl that used single or duel exhaust,then the high performance 383 4bbl Magnum/Super Commando don't know what Chrysler called it in their C bodies but anyways,the 383 4bbl had 330 hp ,410 torque vs 383high performance 335 hp with 425 torque (yes it made more than that) it had better heads,camshaft for sure I know..They also had 3 different 440's..440 4bbl holley carb non h.p,the 440 TNT,Magnum,Super Commando and the 69-71 440 6 bbl (and the few 72 6bbl that snuck out).. Anyways that's a sweet ride in 2bbl,or 4bbl!! ?Sorry for the babble you got me going...

01trsmar It’s the 2 bbl. All big block Mopars had the 906 heads in 1968, including the 383 2bbl. The “confusion” comes from Plymouth ad guys saying the Road Runner had “440” heads. The Road Runner had a different cam, pistons and valve springs. All 383’s had the same forged crank.

Nice. I had a 66 Fury four door that I used as a "nice weather" daily (Ie, it went away at the slightest hint it might rain or snow) for about 4 years. That had the poly 318, not a big block, but it got along fine. It wasn't a bad daily for what it was. Kept up with modern traffic, 75-80 MPH on the freeway just fine. I ended up selling it because my commute got extended by several hundred miles a week, and 12 MPG and an hour commute don't mix. It was a fun car though. I loved how many thumbs up I got. I miss that. It wasn't an unreliable vehicle either. People always say "oh old cars make horrible dailies because they always break down". Not true. Not once did I get stuck on the side of the road in the 4 years I owned that car. I got stuck only one time- in a fast food parking lot with a dead battery- but that could happen to a new car too. I made a point to change the oil every 3k, to put in an ethanol treatment to prevent damage from the E10 fuel, changed the transmission fluid every 30K, changed the coolant out every year, greased the chassis every other oil change, adjusted points every oil change, changed brake fluid once every year ( Previous owner converted to power disc up front). If you don't take care of your car, it won't take care of you.

@@DontCryAboutIt ,I'd say that claim was dubious at best.

Awesome.. being understated is my hahaha life project.. in my life, My Girl has the twin of my Car.. Both California Cars 68 Dodge Dart model 270, both had Slant6.. except mine is now a 318.. drive them everyday.. not perfect, but driven, and nothing's more fun then Passing some body who didn't know the old granny Car with White Walls and a single flowmaster just put you in the rear view.. Peace..

The crafty ones will change the fluids and not run the engine.

@@Nsixtyfourlink true but you can “tell” the difference in color and viscosity of brand new vs clean used. If it looks too new, walk away.

Not a dying breed. I’m learning from these guys and sending it to my little guys. Great work men.

Not a dying breed, I see alot of comments from kids, I call them kids because I'm 50, that watch these video's. I used to worry about where the direction of classic car building was going but over the last several years and watching these video's and just paying attention to things around me I see alot of kids getting into these classic car daily drivers. out here in the Southwest and West I see alot of classics being driven by high school and college kids. I have a community college just down the street from my shop and the parking lot is about a 50/50 mix of daily driver classics and the "beater" cars.

The outro is usually to give people time to leave a thumbs up after the videdo is over. I think a short outro would be good.

Can't believe I ran across this,Seth.

@@bobsisson7849 woah that's crazy. Kinda cool though 😎

I bet an afternoon with some compound would have that car shiny again!

doghearder nah that paint is 50 years old and is sunbleached to hell , needs a new paint job

Yeah, and people flipped out on the Pinto because part of the filler neck went through the trunk to the tank under the trunk. (had a '66 coupe) I saw a Dodge Dart get rear ended that had just parked, the occupants were so lucky in that they were about 10 ft from it, walking away. Huge fireball and would not have been survivable had they been in it. I always watched my 6:00 after that in the 'Stang.

​@tomdavidson9939 stangs had over 40k + people burnt death from its cheap drop in fuel tanks worst were the fastback tank would rupture from rear hit & slosh into passenger compartment & explode Ford kept things quiet paying out insurance settlements To keep it's cash cow rolling But killed many people due to its cheapo design flaw

Salting the roads in winter makes for fewer solid classics.

Good analogy!

I was taking notes as the video was playing.Good advice again,Uncle T!

A car is better than a date, car isn't going to f@ck your friends

I would agree with you on most of that statement, however there is the occasional once or twice in a lifetime opportunities that would be with cars and women, maybe you run across your ultimate dream car and the first one you have seen for sale that is in your budget and I say unless it's a steaming pile of dogshit go for it, because in my case I can fix about anything and I like fixing up cars , now lets get to the dating of a woman, same thing in my opinion, every so often you get the opportunity to let's call it date a woman who is clearly above your pay grade, and again I say go for it, because life is to short to pass up great memories, you just have to keep it in prospective and only ""date"" her as you put it.. I would prefer calling it what it is, but I will keep uncle tony's family friendly as I'm sure he would like.. so you see in my opinion their are always exceptions to the rules in life...

@@mikehoncho9344 😂 You fuckin' A right about that.

There are still honest people in this world. The 2 people I normally avoid buying a car from are Mechanics and Car flippers, Mechanics don't have time to work on their own stuff and just fix stuff when it breaks and Car flippers will fix stuff but they will fix it the cheapest way possible and try to say nothings wrong with it when it's got half the hardware aisle from Wal Mart on it to get it running.

Except that overheating is cheap and easy to fix. Dents, rust, and shitty paint are not cheap and easy to fix.

@@01Z06guy nah

i know what you mean, i once call a guy about a honda 750 and asked him not to start the bike before i got there and he said ok, well i showed up and hour early and when i got there it was sitting in the driveway running, needless to said i turn around and left

yep, beware of the "Has fresh oil/transmission fluid change" guy for the most part, that's shady signal #1, if your just selling a car why would spend the money changing the fluid if there wasn't something going on because that's something that adds no money to it on the back end. If the oil and tranny fluid don't have atleast a couple hundred miles on it after a fluid change that sets off my spidey senses.

Oct 2018, I got a 68, 4 door survivor just like this one (in much better shape). 318 automatic, all original, (air conditioning was removed by someone, but I have all the parts) no rust, just under 80,000 miles. I replaced missing or dried out rubber bumpers under the hood, license plate etc. I put all new exhaust, new rear bumper (old one was dented) I'm having front end steering parts all replaced, (have the parts, just waiting on a back ordered steering gear box. and I will get the front seat re-upholstered in the original fabric (which is available through SMS auto fabrics) Original has a couple small rips from old age on the left side and the foam is broken down a little. Original California car. I have the owners manual with the original owners name and found the build sheet under the front seat springs. Someone put Craiger's on it and wide tires, but I do have the original hub caps so it could go back to stock. ( I don't have the original rims) Paid 7,500.00 compared to 2 doors starting at 25,000 and up for a Satellite, and way more for a Road Runner. I get lots of looks and compliments.

Hell i prefer wagons anymore

I got a little static for buying a nice 4-door survivor but actually the response is almost all positive. I say I can't see the back doors when I'm enjoying the drive anyway.

@@olneyjt4526 Absolutely, because of the prices of 2 doors and the "popular" cars being absolutely outrageous people are now building 4 door cars and the "Unpopular" cars. Out here in the Southwest/West the mid to late 70's from all of the big 3 are the "HOT" build out here simply because they are a shitload cheaper to buy, sure a 71-72 Malibu/Chevelle is the car everyone wants but you can't even look at a roller for less than 10k but you can buy a running and driving and ready to pass state inspection 74 or 75 Malibu/Chevelle for 3k, 4 doors and Wagons are even cheaper. I bought a 73 Buick Regal (Same body as the Monte Carlo) for $1200 and drove it 50 miles home, after putting new tires and wiper blades on it it passed inspection and and I'm now daily driving it while I fix it. I had the interior professionally detailed because it was in fantasic shape, I cleaned up and repainted some IROC Wheels off a 86 IROC (We think) that my neighbor sold me for $50 for the set of 4 because they were just taking up room in his shop, cleaned the engine bay and rattle can black painted the things in the engine bay that sould be black, cleaned and repainted the engine, oil pain, heads, intake and air cleaner with all new gaskets and cleaned up and sprayed some truck bed liner on the truck floor, it's still needs some work and definately needs a paint job but I don't think I've even hit $2000 total yet and if I have it's certain not much over and I have a REALLY cool daily driver classic/muscle car. 4 dorrs and the mi-late "Smog" cars are going to be what saves the classics and the car hobby but the "Popular" cars have gotten out of reach for most people.

Except for that big giant hole where you can see the grass on the ground. POR-15 isn't going to seal that one.

@@slayer5813 No it won't seal any holes, but it'll prevent more holes.

If it is epoxy, epoxy will let in water to the metal. If it is anhygroscopic, that's something different.

i must say i like the wheels and tars. next, the "crap" wood stay on, pleez!

Uncle Kathy is the glue that holds everything together, its no secret.

Did you?

Love older orphan sedans like this, got the right look from the front and back and more seats to take all your friends along for the adventures. I would patch up the small body issues, a $500 special paint job at local paint guy and some black steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps, and daily the hell outta that thing.

I would LOVE to have a slant 6 in anything it came in ( if I could afford $$$ ) I've had 3 or 4 over the yrs. Fav. was a 62 lancer w/ 3 on th tree @ 4 doors ( must have been grandma car it was almost like new!!!!

Do you have a website?

I agree 100%!👍😎

Road Barge. Instead of Road Runner. That's a good one.

I don't like flippers. I would cut the price in half to a kid wanting to fix it up before selling to a flipper.( That's if the right person really wants the car) But that's just me.

Same, rather have subtle modifications if any at all. Nothing obnoxious or obvious. Things only a true enthusiast would notice.

Ehhh. When you build a hot rod and race engines. That's a different story for someone like me. I like to go fast. lol. Factory suspension is not enough sometimes.

hate it or not at least its some guy still keeping one on the road

Uncle Tony's Garage ... “perfume pick “now “ ask holes”... words of wisdom just keep coming from Uncle Tony..😂😂..

Speed Queen, Maytag and Kenmore is as far as you need to look for trunk floor. Old fridges too. Beat some stiffening ribs w/ a ball peen on an old table saw base miter slot and you're good. Cost: Just the MIG wire and gas and grinding wheel and electricity. Seal the seams w/ metal flashing caulk.

Also the mat between the top of the gas tank and underneath the trunk floor helps speed up the rot process.

and with a name like dripping glass, i am guessing you would know...lol... i have a 66 polara and i cant get in the trunk...key goes in, but wont turn.....other than crawling thru- any advice? is this common? Its possible i have the wrong key too...came this way. btw its a 4 door 383 2b torque flight....67k miles....very nice car

lucky haskins Get a long flat blade screwdriver. You can open it if you remove the back seat. Then just replace the key mechanism with another one.

@@drippinglass Hey bud, thanks for the reply..Yes, the 383 purrs like a kitten...quiet and smooth and plenty of pep. car runs and drives like it is brand new,cept the flat spots...i got 4 new white walls on the way.. ( hankook is making a 14" whitewall 58.00 bucks at wallmart!!!) I pulled the back seat and the space I need to crawl through is pretty small and the trunk is aproximately 6 and half miles long,so I bailed...lol...I had a feeling I mite get stuck- need a spotter...lmao....I will likely give it another shot, or the locksmith is getting the call..After the tires the only thing left is a fuel tank replacement ( nicely varnished and a leaker- aint fed her from it yet) ,and a key cylinder for the trunk...other than lower body rust, car is beautiful...if you dig these mopars,i got 20 pics of mine under barter on craiglist Michigan Yooper.. ( upper peninsula) ...shes a beautiful car drives like new...I am likely to keep her ,at least for a season or two...

But I would really like to do an NY precinct car from a 88 or 9 diplomat .. all my favourite movies like Death Wish, Warriors, Serpico etc were done in that era and places and those cars just bring me right back to it

shoominati23 also look, at one of the older Law and Order TV show intros .

Don't turn that into an Adam 12 replica. So many of those already exist buy one that is already done and stop ruining the ones that are left.

@@matakaheru6341 Do you know how impossible it is to find an original squad car? after the 3 or 4 years they were in service they would be almost destroyed. and then the taxi companies would buy what was left of them and take several cars apart to make one good one and keep doing that until they ran out of good cars. The actual original squads that are left I guarantee were kept by the PD as legacy items and is why they are around today and still owned by the state. Many of the cars you see at shows were converted from civilian cars, I never saw that TV show either.

I'm a Die hard Chevy guy. My friends on the dark side, Ford Mopar owners always take me with them when they look at a car. I respect fords and mopars, I have seen the tail lights of both. I show up with my mekanik clothes and loudly announce "I already see the problem. It ain't a Chevy.". The seller hates me, loves my friend, but that's my job.

I think the nut holding the steering wheel was a little loose.
