I love how momma and poppa had big smiles and momma was in her glory I think the love for cars is in your genes and in some cases passed down it was great to see 3 generations involved in that rebirth of that 68 Roadrunner even though the little one just smiled alot I wish they were my neighbors

had a 1970 RR 383 fun to drive.loved watching you folks bring this beast back to the road.

a true story of “ love”.. that car… love of family , a marriage and memories of good times in life ❤️

Beautiful present to leave your family, and being blessed with 50 Years plus many more with his wife… Happy 50th anniversary.

The smile on your moms face riding in the car again, was priceless. What a beautiful moment….❤️

I was a street racer when I was a kid in the 70’s and had the time of my life! But now that I am old the most favorite thing about old muscle cars is…. Given the current state of the country today, you can take any group of seniors of any color or any ethnicity, and put an old muscle car in front of them and suddenly the only color that matters anymore is what everybody’s favorite paint color is! Suddenly nothing else matters but the muscle car! It’s amazing and I LOVE IT!! The joy dad and mom was sharing when they were cruisin down the street was PRICELESS! Good luck with the restoration and would love to see a follow up video after yer done! What the country needs is more old muscle cars!!! That first road runner horn BEEP BEEP was AWESOME!!

Great video. The smiles on the parents faces when they were driving in the car was priceless.

This story is so refreshing. His son so respectfully accepting the challenge in bringing this Road Runner back to life....and all well knowing it'll always be dads car. Kudos my man

This is a wonderful 🎉show of "Family" Love, affection, respect and persistence. I love older model vehicles. New cars have no character. Great Job young man. I'm loving this. Continue being a Blessing to your family on this Journey.

This is what it’s all about. Sharing your passion with the next generation. His memory will live on by passing the car on to his children and grandchildren. He was driving that car when he met his wife of 50 years. That’s beautiful. I really enjoyed this video. Greetings from Toronto, Canada 👋🇨🇦

I have my dad's 63 E type jaguar and my grandfather's 74 Bronco completely restored, They bring back great memories from my Childhood in the sixties and.

Love,love love this video!! Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this great car back to life.👏👍

I owned a 1970 Road Runner from 1973 -1975. Biggest mistake I ever made letting it go. What I would give to have it back now. So many memories that car held from my young free life. It is amazing how much of your life's memories a car can hold. Great video.

I wish my dad gave me a Road Runner 😂😂 this man is so lucky to have such a great dad 🥲

That was tremendous! The smile on his face and mother’s excitement! How cool!

That is SO AWESOME!!!!! I’ve got a 72 LTD Convertible in the garage that needs a little help, I hope it doesn’t take that long, but at 61 I’m excited to get it going again!!! I have renewed interest as soon as the cash comes again. Full circle! In 20 years your kids will be excited for their turn. God Bless!!!!

Awesome story. My father gave me his 58' Ford F100 Custom Cab. Big glass windows all around. Hes had it for over 50 yrs. i will never sell it. My mom passed 3 yrs ago and my dream was to see them in it together. It runs but it needs some upgrades. Its stillbin their home in Los Angeles and i live in Texas now. Im not financially able to get it restored or just fixed up a little to make it easier to drive (power steering mainly). Hes 76 now and i dont think ill get it to where i want, so he can drive it around comfortably. I enjoyed your video.💯

His reaction to vent windows was hilarious 🤣 i was born in 82 myself. But my dad was a Car Guy that made sure I was a Car Guy. Good to see people get excited about the Past. Sure Miss my Oldman. Also excellent choice on the Avs2 carb. I put one on my 82 c10 before I Ls swapped it.

Took me back many years when me and my pops worked on his 1966 Chevy pickup. I smiled all the way through video. Some sadness after realizing that use to be us. Thanks for sharing

This is the best unscripted car rescue video on you tube! Thank you for sharing your genuine story with the world. Seeing your father and mother behind the wheel is priceless!

I am so happy for you. You got to receive and work on that car WITH your dad. What a memory brother. Love him like no other. There are not many like him. Your parents seem like they are so great.

You have a 20 carat diamond in the rough there! That RR with all original, numbers matching equipment is a true Jem! The old muscle cars are getting rarer by the day, You have a long road ahead of you, but when you get there, you will have something more valuable than everything you put into it!!!

Great story and what a wonderful family and community! Thanks again, Jerry...for the fine storytelling!

What a cutie couple they are. The grandkids will remember this. This reminds me of the song, 'It's a family affair'.

Times like this are priceless.thats special an dude keep this car an pass it down to your son .I would give anything to have one of my dad's cars .he had a white 65 ss Impala.

Thats what its about passing the passion of old cars and showing the younger generation about the experiences of working on them and God is amazing helping you all get it running again

Hey from Nova Scotia Canada. Nice ride, blast from the past! Reminds me of my time in the 70’s. Also great time and memories with family.

What a heart warming story... It's more about a family working together than about a car.... and I'm a car guy (my first car was a 69 GTO).... wish y'all the very best..

Well done, gentlemen. I love the friendship between the older men. Don’t see that too much anymore.

YOU WERE A GOOD LOOKING COUPLE THEN AND YOU ARE STILL A GOOD LOOKING COUPLE TODAY 50 YEARS LATER MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH 50 MORE YEARS OF GOOD LOOKS / VERY NICE VIDEO , THANKS FOR SHARING

Awesome, luv the stories of them, his daughter writing her name in the back seat, the smiles on their faces as they drive down the street, God bless, and greetings from Brownsville

I love videos like this, Jerry because it shows that there are still people who have good values and cherish history ❤

Being a Mopar guy and RR owner myself I was loving every second, smiling like crazy watching that ol girls come back to life. Happy memories for them 👍🏼

My neighbor had his 66 GTO in his garage for 40 years and is having it restored finally.....All the dads had muscle cars, his is the only one that will be resurrected.....Thank you for posting!!! Beep beep!!!!

Time capsule the best of muscle cars. Such a great gift from father to son❤.

That was a good one Jerry, seeing that ole boy drive his car again with his lady at his side made it 👍👍

Cherish and love on that old iron. No one else will, master class!!

With a little tlc and passing it on to the next generation the Plymouth road runner is a sweet ride telling the stories is what it’s all about 😊

The smiles on Poppa and Momma faces was worth more than every penny in all the banks in Texas. fifty years together is a blessing from God. Only a few good hearted people are blessed enough to last that long. That takes a very special loving and caring couple that can smile after that long. and may they have a few more good ( Great ) years They have earned it. If my first wife had lived the 22nd of July would have been 40 years. and I still miss her everyday just like her last.

MAN, they were a good looking couple when young. They STILL are! This video is completely charming.

Great Video! Love the horn! My dad had a friend that had a Road Runner. He would come pick my dad up for work and toot the horn. My mom said I would stand straight up in my baby bed and say Beep-Beep!

From Jan's husband. A father that saves his first car for his son, you are a very lucky man. Love this story.

Young man is so blessed to receive that gift..Dream car.

And that right there is how kids become car people. It didn't even smoke. What an awesome project. Nice job family/friends. I enjoyed this one Jerry

Love it! I have a 68 Road Runner 383 4 speed. Just rebuilt the transmission and a new clutch. Congratulations!

With all the right parts and getting all the help from friends and family it's a winner. Congratulations.👍

True heart and persistence pays off again thanks to all who helped, a very proud moment.

What a great father son collaboration! Love it! Miss my dad.

Bro your little man loves being with daddy he's precious. Little racer of the future.

Kids will always have a connection with the road runner, great car, great story

So very cool! Congratulations! I bought a 68 GTO from Seguin TX and it has been sitting since 1977. Just got the motor to break free and started it next weekend! 400 4 speed HO car. Again congratulations!

What a beautiful story of love and family, thankyou

SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS, HAVE FUN. I DROVE A BRAND NEW ONE IN 68, NO POWER ANYTHING, 4 SPEED, GREAT CAR.

I'm not a Mopar guy, but this brought back so many memories. Rehabbing my Dad's old VW, my old Firebird, so many more. It's the kind of stuff that makes life worth living!

Thanks for sharing your car story on KZfaq. I enjoyed this greatly. God Bless

What a awesome 👏 thing to pass the car 🚗 down to their son and an amazing ending! I hope he give the car the restoration to its formal glory it deserves. Great Story I’ve owned a Roadrunner myself that the engine was built to the Gills by the late Great Maurice Petty so I can relate. Wish I had mine back because that car would absolutely fly and I never lost a street race with it the entire time I owned it. So I have a soft spot for Plymouth Roadrunners and MOPAR Muscle cars.

That is so awesome the look on your mother and father's face when they took a ride was priceless way to go.

The look on pops face said it all. Thanks for sharing!

Another great one Jerry! I’m 52 now and he parked his Roadrunner when I was 14!😀 Amazing how the time goes by. Happy for the family. Enjoy!!!

What a beautiful family!! Congratulations!!!❤❤❤

I love it, such a beautiful family, a wonderful day for all, gods plan worked for you, it's just a car, but now it's so much more,,,, lm very happy to see happiness teddy

Great video! My second car was a 68 Road Runner. Sold it years ago, but it’s still around. I put mopar electronic ignition on mine. 383 still runs great ! Great family, awesome project. That’s a mopar for ya! 37 years parked and she’s running

Wow Jerry! What a great story. My first car was a 1968 Dodge Super Bee with a 383, the same as the one here, except it had a 727 torqueflite automatic. I rebuilt the motor in 1978 in high school auto shop. It was wonderful that the dad passed it down to his son. It was great watching friends and neighbors contributing. Congratulations!

Congratulations, loved the video, great car, and definitely a great family, good luck....! From the UK.

What an absolutely wonderful video!! So very cool!!

What a great family! Excellent help from friends and folks in town. And I’m impressed with Roger’s prep and willingness to jump in. Could not help but smile at the end.

I used to work at an Esso gas station in WV when I was 16. I actually got to drive a 1969 green road runner after I changed the oil and washed the '69 Road Runner. It was such a powerful car. 😉 I really like your story of one that sat for over 30+ years and your tenacity and hope it starting is very inspiring. Thank you for posting 👍👍.

Awesome guys Great familia and passing down the that car was great, hard work and never giving up pays off, bring it back to it’s glory days, that car is now a family heirloom Best of luck in the restoration, and enjoy. Teach them boys how to take care of her and keep going Thanks for a great video

god bless you all!!! one heck of a job!!!! seriously...i got a bit choked up..i know what its like bringing something back to life..total satisfaction...awesome!!!

No greater feeling for a car guy than to make the dragon roar again.

That’s great! That car deserves to be on the road again and creating more memories with the family.

A guy who didn't know what a starter was got this thing running after all these years. Quite a testament to these cars!

One of the best old car guy videos I have seen on youtube. Absolutely loved it!

Beautiful family. Awesomeness

Such an inspirational story. Your parents looked so happy sitting in the car again which is exactly how I feel everytime I drive my Chevelle. Thanks for sharing.

This was how we learned back in the days from watching our fathers /uncles it’s great to see this kind of video those young children will always have this memory

Personally, I always change oil in old engines regardless of colour versus viscosity. Otherwise, a great little heritage vid. Great job guys

Patience of a saint....congrats on bringing her back to life!!!!

Nice old car im glad the cars heart still beats.

Awesome. Congratulations. Hope God hooks you up with the right people to restore that and he can drive it restored once. 🙏🏼

this is so cool; some of my favorite parts of the video is watching the son learn about things we used to find mundane on the older cars, like the flip out vent windows and the headlight dimmer on the floor. All cars should still have dimmers on the floor. Beautiful car, great story!

I love your channel!

Wow! That's really cool! The fact that the son didn't recognize some of the operating features like the dimmer switch made me feel reeeeeal old! 🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice solid car. I'm so glad it's being saved by him for future generations. Awesome job!

Brother this brought tears to my eyes 😭I restore cars and love to hear all the different stories about the cars life. Enjoy fixing it up. Thanks for the share!!!!

Glad j was able to watch you and your family work on the old road runner. It was worth it to see your pops face when she fired up. Thanks for sharing this.

Very nice feel good video with good people

Thanks for sharing. Not a car. A time machine.

Pretty cool video… awesome you dad saved that car for you after all those years… thanks for sharing

That will be a great car to restore. I'm a retired master mechanic 43yrs. Don't cut any corners on your restore it will be worth alot of money when it's done. It could be handed down and it will just keep going up in value. Glad your dad saved it. Wish I kept my 70 Rally Sport Nova.

Great family.God Bless you all.

Great story!!!! I had a 74 Charger I kept until 2017 then gave it to a neighbor kid that wanted to get it going.

I'm glad they finally got it started. Hopefully we'll get an update video on the restoration in the future..

Amazing video, real genuine people doing ordinary stuff which is so heart warming. Thank you

Very nice story. Love that the kiddos were so excited when it finally started.

Hi you guys are doing the right thing! Don't forget to take pics with mom and the family while you are working on it. You know in stages. I have done the some with my family. It's priceless!!!!

This one gave me Goosebumps! Watching the original owner and his sweetheart of a wife driving around in the 68 Roadrunner!😂❤😅😊❤ His son and friends and neighbors were awesome at getting the old hot rod up and running again.... "BEEP-BEEP!"😮😊 Roadrunner!❤😂🎉

Love it ! Real Cool ! So happy for you and your family. 😎 💯 Cant wait to see the resto take place hope you post it .

The Best part was the smiles on there faces at end, beautiful

Great story. Great video👍

This was pretty cool to watch. Having to get the whole family involved was awesome to see. Thanks to your dad for keeping the car for all these years. My favorite car is a 70-72 Chevy Monte Carlo. I just love that car. I'm 63 and wishing I could get another one before I go. I know they are expensive these days.
