I Can Hear My Father's Voice, Don't Sell My Cars (especially the 'Cuda's)
Пікірлер
I wasn’t going to comment or share anymore about myself but I do see a lot of people asking the same questions. These vehicles were parked when I was way too young to do anything about it. My dad was the typical “I’ll fix them one day” man and unfortunately life, and cancer, got in the way of that. My mom felt guilty selling them after my dad passed away so they sat a few more years. We had many “vultures”, as y’all call them, try to buy the vehicles or even just TAKE them when my parents first passed away. I knew they would sit and do the same thing with them as they were already doing, so we refused. When Cole made a post in a local group looking for project cars, I asked my husband to reach out. When I found out they had already restored multiple Cudas, I knew they were the route to go. It was never about the money for me. Do I think the amount was totally fair after pulling the vehicles out and seeing the true condition? Some days yes, other days no. But, again, it was NOT about the money. I am not like my parents. While I do know how rare these cars can be, I also know that they’re not realistic for me. I don’t have the money nor the resources to complete a project that big, neither do most of the comments on this video. We call those “pipe dreams”. I wanted to see these cars go to someone who could fix them, not another backyard or garage. The Buick is my baby. Life is playing it’s cards and bringing big changes for me and my family. When it does, I plan to partially restore it so it doesn’t rot like so many others. My father had the mindset that nobody could have what was his, not realizing that even by them being his property, they were so far out of reach. The home itself is not repairable, the outside isn’t even close to a reflection of the inside. Part of me letting go of the vehicles was my final step from stepping away from the lifestyle I was brought up in. I will always feel the ache in my heart for selling them, but I know it will be so worth it to see them restored. I have no doubt that Tim and Cole, or whoever they choose to partake, will bring these cars glory. We sold nearly every vehicle on the property, excluding a few Camaros and the Silverado, and of course my Buick. (And two motorcycles) My husband has been my rock through this all, and I value/appreciate him very much. Thank you for all the compliments towards his tow-abilities. I try to tell him how good he is but he doesn’t listen! He has been towing for 18 years, since he was 18. He has a true eye and passion for it. If you enjoyed watching him, please remember to MOVE OVER and save a life. 💛

Being an old car guy around your fathers age, I’m absolutely positive he would be happy they’re going to a good home to get the much deserved attention they need. I’ll never understand classic car owners that would let their cars sit and rot back into the earth before giving someone the opportunity with the means and know how to give them a second lease on life for all to gaze upon and enjoy for many years to come. Great job on your part young lady. 😉👍

I'll tell you why shooter. Because time, life, and health reasons all take their toll. Building buildings are a property tax sinkhole. Cars once where cheap. Buildings never. Yes it's sad to see that white one go from car show condition to rats nest but as a multi classic car owner myself... After 500 dipshits who try to steal your cars for a couple bills you'd rather let them sit and rot. Believe me. Plus once you obtain more than you can handle and life starts throwing shitballs at you.... You stop caring. Besides that I'll look out my window at a car you'll only dream of owning. Cute puppy. Had one just like it until some pos poisoned him.

If you're not going to properly store these cars and keep them in running condition then it's definitely the wiser choice to sell them so that they can be preserved and enjoyed the way cool cars like that Cuda should be. How people can let rare and desirable cars just sit outside and rot is something I will never understand.

You don’t understand a lot of things want to be a car guy. I’ll explain something to ya. The person had a attachment to them in his life time. People like this are not always rich people so they keep them in the only place they can with a someday dream to get it running again. God bless him . Another thing you don’t get is back in the 80s and nineties these things were a dime a dozen. If this guy would have done like most jackasses did do was cut them up for scrap or make a stock car out of them. Do you get it now.?

A message to the daughter and son as a parents have passed away. My condolences. They seem pretty young to be in those shoes 👟. The 61 Chevy is most likely worth more now then it was twenty-five years ago when it was looking great! Cuda definitely is! Well sell any cars to do other things that they may want to do as far as home improvement memorial for their parents. Father and son who buy the car message for you. That song Mama didn't raise no fool applies here of course you get out there on that same day. Things like this don't drop into your lap everyday. We've actually taking trees that have grown up in the engine compartment. And we have taken the tree out just so we could get the car out of there. Well congratulations on what appears to be a fabulous find. Manteresting if you do a follow up on what you do with these cars is la content there including you know who you sell them to what you got out of them. Break it down for the folks viewing because just because you pay X-Men dollars and you get double that out of it doesn't mean you doubled your money there is a thing for time and investment of parts for the improvement. unless you did buy them dirt cheap and just turned around and sold a couple of them . Cuda and the 61 Chevy are great content cars for KZhead viewers as you well know. Congrats again on finding a nice heard of vehicles.

It’s a shame when cars are left outside to rot. I’m not blaming the parents or children, it sometimes just happens. A car gets parked off to the side, and next thing you know there are small saplings around it. However, you can’t underestimate the damage water will cause. Like this Cuda 4:45 has a small rot hole to the left of the year window. You can almost bet that both the trunk and interior floorboards are all rotted; not to mention the seats are soaked with rain and mice pee. I’ll give the kids credit for getting these cars out, sold and hopefully restored or used for parts. Best of luck!

Yes, something many longtime owners just won't do. They plan to restore one day, they say. Change is hard for most of us.

She's lucky her daddy left her a house and he saved all them cars. Selling the cars is going to get her family a nice chunk of money. That should help her fix the house and have some left over. I'm very surprised she didn't take better care of the cars it seems that she should have known that they have value since she grew up in a car loving family. Cars are a great thing for a family you can go to shows, travel meet people go to swap meets, it's like treasure hunting with the family.

I would love to have the 1961 bubbletop Bel Air. I didn't know such a car existed until recently. I always thought the bubbletop in 1961 was exclusive to the Impala. The Bel Air was originally a 6 cylinder car. The emblem on the trunk doesn't have the "V" around the emblem, indicating a V-8. I had a 1961 Bel Air with a "flat top". The 'Cudas and Camaro's would be way out of my price range.

I never understand Why people who are in this business of collecting these old cars never build open Air poll barns... I mean at least you would have a roof overhead to protect them at the minimum.
I wasn’t going to comment or share anymore about myself but I do see a lot of people asking the same questions. These vehicles were parked when I was way too young to do anything about it. My dad was the typical “I’ll fix them one day” man and unfortunately life, and cancer, got in the way of that. My mom felt guilty selling them after my dad passed away so they sat a few more years. We had many “vultures”, as y’all call them, try to buy the vehicles or even just TAKE them when my parents first passed away. I knew they would sit and do the same thing with them as they were already doing, so we refused. When Cole made a post in a local group looking for project cars, I asked my husband to reach out. When I found out they had already restored multiple Cudas, I knew they were the route to go. It was never about the money for me. Do I think the amount was totally fair after pulling the vehicles out and seeing the true condition? Some days yes, other days no. But, again, it was NOT about the money. I am not like my parents. While I do know how rare these cars can be, I also know that they’re not realistic for me. I don’t have the money nor the resources to complete a project that big, neither do most of the comments on this video. We call those “pipe dreams”. I wanted to see these cars go to someone who could fix them, not another backyard or garage. The Buick is my baby. Life is playing it’s cards and bringing big changes for me and my family. When it does, I plan to partially restore it so it doesn’t rot like so many others. My father had the mindset that nobody could have what was his, not realizing that even by them being his property, they were so far out of reach. The home itself is not repairable, the outside isn’t even close to a reflection of the inside. Part of me letting go of the vehicles was my final step from stepping away from the lifestyle I was brought up in. I will always feel the ache in my heart for selling them, but I know it will be so worth it to see them restored. I have no doubt that Tim and Cole, or whoever they choose to partake, will bring these cars glory. We sold nearly every vehicle on the property, excluding a few Camaros and the Silverado, and of course my Buick. (And two motorcycles) My husband has been my rock through this all, and I value/appreciate him very much. Thank you for all the compliments towards his tow-abilities. I try to tell him how good he is but he doesn’t listen! He has been towing for 18 years, since he was 18. He has a true eye and passion for it. If you enjoyed watching him, please remember to MOVE OVER and save a life. 💛
To add, the buick is the easiest to be fixed and driven again. In case anyone was wondering why I chose that, besides the sentimental memories.
Thank you Jerry so much for this opportunity!
Rachel I really appreciate your comments. They add substantially to this story.
What gets me is the comment that Cole made 4:12 "That's the risk were taking " These 2 guys know they weren't taking any risk on these cars They know exactly what they are worth Just like the S10 , they know with that 350 in it the truck worth something & the Bubble Top Chevy
@@thewriter2549 I am wondering why you don't pin her comment as the main comment?
To the Daughter, you did the right thing you allowed the Car to be enjoyed by others, God Bless.
Being an old car guy around your fathers age, I’m absolutely positive he would be happy they’re going to a good home to get the much deserved attention they need. I’ll never understand classic car owners that would let their cars sit and rot back into the earth before giving someone the opportunity with the means and know how to give them a second lease on life for all to gaze upon and enjoy for many years to come. Great job on your part young lady. 😉👍
My dad is 72
I'll tell you why shooter. Because time, life, and health reasons all take their toll. Building buildings are a property tax sinkhole. Cars once where cheap. Buildings never. Yes it's sad to see that white one go from car show condition to rats nest but as a multi classic car owner myself... After 500 dipshits who try to steal your cars for a couple bills you'd rather let them sit and rot. Believe me. Plus once you obtain more than you can handle and life starts throwing shitballs at you.... You stop caring. Besides that I'll look out my window at a car you'll only dream of owning. Cute puppy. Had one just like it until some pos poisoned him.
thank you I'm Gen X and i agree if you ain't gonna restore and drive them sell them to someone who will
My dad is 72
They weren't at a good home to begin with. Nice people, sure...but to leave everything out to rot is asinine.
If you're not going to properly store these cars and keep them in running condition then it's definitely the wiser choice to sell them so that they can be preserved and enjoyed the way cool cars like that Cuda should be. How people can let rare and desirable cars just sit outside and rot is something I will never understand.
You don’t understand a lot of things want to be a car guy. I’ll explain something to ya. The person had a attachment to them in his life time. People like this are not always rich people so they keep them in the only place they can with a someday dream to get it running again. God bless him . Another thing you don’t get is back in the 80s and nineties these things were a dime a dozen. If this guy would have done like most jackasses did do was cut them up for scrap or make a stock car out of them. Do you get it now.?
@@bigblockstang9368 I have to agree with gdb I even as a car guy would much rather see them restored then rot into the ground where nothings left
Totally agree. Have a friend has a 69 gto 4 speed car just let's sit in his yard and rots. And he acts proud of that. Amazing. Don't get it. Sad.
I agree with what you’re saying the dad loved all the cars he had. and he knew they had value. At the time the dad bought the cars it’s safe to say him and his wife were young once they began aging mobility for them would have become difficult so taking care of the cars would of too. I’ve watched lots of stories like this about old fellas and their cars and I totally get it it’s like a hoarders addiction they just don’t care what anyone thinks.
But a person left to rot is ok .right ?
Selling them was the right move for sure. Pop took some nice cars and let them turn into some very not nice cars, as woods storage generally does. I hope everything goes well for the young family, not to mention the cars.
LS400 gang 💪🏻
A late friend bought a brand new 1970-71? triple black Cuda. 440 6pack,4 speed pistol grip & 4.10 Dana rear. He loved his "baby". RIP Charlie ❤
Your dad would be happy, thousands of people know his story and the passion he had for the cars,and now his story can live on
🖤
Isn't it funny how much vehicles impact our lives and memories. You can see the look on her face as she convinces herself selling these cars are the best thing. She's selling a piece of her father, and her childhood. As they rummage through the collection of priceless automobile parts and carry it away. Glad these cars are going to a great place maybe they'll get a second chance for life. Hope she knew what she had, and was given enough money for these cars. Great recovery of some classic muscle and other relics.
It warms my heart to see these classics get a second chance. They were once somebody's babies and have loads of memories associated with them. Thanks to the guys rescuing these beauties.
This man has amazing vision when it comes to towing anything from anywhere. 👍👍✌️
That '58 Buick sure brings back a ton of memories. I learned to drive on one that was brown over white. I loved that car. If I had the time left, and the money, I'd love to take and restore that beauty at least to highway drivable condition. Sadly, I know that can't happen but even old men can still have dreams.
Yes I can relate to that,my father had a green on green 58 Buick Special he bought brand new . I loved that car everybody talks about 50’s Chevy’s ,but to me these old Buicks got style and power. He babied that car until a drunk driver totaled it out for him in a wreck in 77 .
Your dad would be happy to see the cars get some attention and love! ❤
I applaud you and your brothers decision to let these cars, especially the 'cudas, go to a new home. They deserve to be brought back to life. My first car was a '73 'cuda and with it came so many great memories. I'm 58 now, and after raising 5 kids, it is finally time to make my first child, yes, I still have my first love, my cuda, into the child I always wanted her to be. I'm building her into the 'cuda I always wanted her to be. God bless you both, and your Dad, I'm sure, is proud of what you have done. MOPAR OR NO CAR
I hope Jason owns that tow company ,and if he does not he needs to start his own company and a recovery towing KZhead channel . He has got skills .
WOW, your Mom and Dad are in heaven by reading your letter to all Hot Rods, and what a beautiful way of expressing your Dad and Mom truth Love between Mom and Dad in their Cars, Hot Rod dream to have a Lover, Wife & Mother and a Car Love by your side through the adventures, God Bless.
Jason really knows his stuff about vehicle recovery...that was a master class on how to use snatch blocks, chains, trees, all the resources!
Had to watch this fantastic video twice . Thanks for trying to bring these cars back to live . Cheers from Germany 👍
Rachel -- Glad you found buyers who appreciate your dad's collection.
He thinks he’s going to stitch up those seats 😂, don’t sell these cars to these guys they don’t know what they’re doing
That's funny Rachel, I heard you father too! He said to give the 'Cuda to me.😆
That guy is truly a tow truck driver. MAN what skills. Jerry, once again, super cool video. I'll buy that Buick and the white S10 if they are reasonably priced.
email me about the S10 and I'll try to help you out with that. I like to help people get cars they want.
It is Time. Things waste away, if not covered. I think your Dad would agree. Don't give them away!
I’ve never understood how someone can leave a beautiful, valuable car to basically dissolve in the elements. 🤷🏼♂️
A message to the daughter and son as a parents have passed away. My condolences. They seem pretty young to be in those shoes 👟. The 61 Chevy is most likely worth more now then it was twenty-five years ago when it was looking great! Cuda definitely is! Well sell any cars to do other things that they may want to do as far as home improvement memorial for their parents. Father and son who buy the car message for you. That song Mama didn't raise no fool applies here of course you get out there on that same day. Things like this don't drop into your lap everyday. We've actually taking trees that have grown up in the engine compartment. And we have taken the tree out just so we could get the car out of there. Well congratulations on what appears to be a fabulous find. Manteresting if you do a follow up on what you do with these cars is la content there including you know who you sell them to what you got out of them. Break it down for the folks viewing because just because you pay X-Men dollars and you get double that out of it doesn't mean you doubled your money there is a thing for time and investment of parts for the improvement. unless you did buy them dirt cheap and just turned around and sold a couple of them . Cuda and the 61 Chevy are great content cars for KZhead viewers as you well know. Congrats again on finding a nice heard of vehicles.
There was 2 Cudas, and the house is not rebuildable , the girl left a comment in the comment section & it was her husband that did all the work getting them out
You know me, Jerry. I'm a sucker for a good story - especially if it's about cars and the people who loved them. Mopars, you say? *Bonus!* You keep making these and we'll keep watching them. I love your way of telling the tale, Jerry. - Ed on the Ridge
Good to hear from you again and thanks Ed. My hope is other owners will watch this and turn loose cars before they rot away, like this young lady did.
@@thewriter2549 Amen to that, brother. - Ed
What a beautiful family story.
She made the right decision. Hopefully the cuda can be restored to its former glory. Her father would definitely agree with this decision. There is a fine line between to far gone and a restoration starting point. I think we were getting close to that point.
Jason really knows what he's doing! Hope he got a bonus for doing such a WICKED job getting those cars out. Especially the 61 bubble top!
Love your videos and really love the back stories from the previous owners. It is always good to see cars like this going to a new home, where they will be driven and enjoyed again. Props to the tow truck driver, he really knew his stuff. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it
Another old guy with tons of cars rotting away in the earth and his final words were " Hey I'm gonna fix um all up one day" lol
Love her thought process! A bright lady.
The bubble top has a Pontiac motor in it. Jerry, this was your first experience of knowing about a snatch block. I'm surprised. I love these recovery stories. Thanks!
Yes! I was surprised for sure. At first I thought Snatch Block was a slang term. Tow truck driver? A simple term for a complex job. Did you watch him walk that Camaro that had no front wheel, up that bed?
Looks more like an Olds motor to me.
You did the right & smart thing. You sold them while they still had value. Good on you, lady.
Love those 'Cuda's and hope they get restored. I am a Mopar fan, and Cuda's are my favorite. I have to admit, that '61 Chevy and '58 Buick are so cool too. Save them!
I can't believe when people have such wonderful collectible cars leave them in the woods to rot away and get rusty almost Beyond repair it's a shame so glad she decided to bring these cars back to life somehow and sell them get them out of the yard and have somebody enjoy restoring them
She did the right thing. Her hubby tow truck driver has serious skills.
Truly a legend and one of the nicest and most genuine people you could ever meet and he always make sure to talk to everybody and even if it take awhile he will respond to any comment online. Honestly a national treasure! And like I always say Jerry Heasley for President 🎉
Michael - I agree with every word you say, except the last line. Jerry would be too great a loss to the car world if he were to become leader of the free world 🤣🤣🤣
Can’t believe this one got away from Dennis Collins. He’s been snatching up everything lately, but just glad most of them will be saved and not going to the crusher.
I think you found the right people to do your dad proud for those cars. Hopefully an update on when they are completed!!!
I think you're right
The 61 Impala is worth a mint good lord I'm drooling
I think when those guys lived in Vermount they used to race here at my local track somtimes! The local track is Luskville dragway
Probably so, Tim drag raced a 'Cuda for 38 years!
Wow..never seen people spray engines off before and not at least cover the carburetors up.
Don't get ripped off by folks downgrading everything you got,they do it to get stuff cheap and turn a big profit,,I won't sell any of my antique cars because of folks like this
It ok to sell but if you sold them to the very person who appraised them your getting the screws put to you A lady had a barn of 1970s built rods and Harley’s from her deceased husband I told her I would appraise them and help her sell She didn’t know me well and used the farmer who farms her lands friend he hauled them all off for himself and one by one sold them Seen that coming a mile away
They're f'ing buzzards. They start circling when they hear a old timer dies
This wasn’t about the money for me. I honestly just wanted them to be restored.
Takes courage sometimes to just forge forwards as you get past the feelings of loss
hope she got good money for those
It’s a shame when cars are left outside to rot. I’m not blaming the parents or children, it sometimes just happens. A car gets parked off to the side, and next thing you know there are small saplings around it. However, you can’t underestimate the damage water will cause. Like this Cuda 4:45 has a small rot hole to the left of the year window. You can almost bet that both the trunk and interior floorboards are all rotted; not to mention the seats are soaked with rain and mice pee. I’ll give the kids credit for getting these cars out, sold and hopefully restored or used for parts. Best of luck!
Her dad must have been a hard-core Plymouth guy. You'd think there'd be a Roadrunner or 2 in that collection of muscle cars ❤ . Very cool Video 👍
I’ll look through the photo albums but I believe he had one that he sold!
Nice to see a man who knows how to use his truck. Well done, Sir.
Great video Jerry!! Really enjoyed! Was great seeing the cars and Rachel’s husband make quick work moving the cars! Thank you
Hey Doug, thanks. She made up her mind and followed through. I respect that.
The tow truck dude is bad ass hats, off to thumbs up, and that a boy and a wow
Stabs me in the heart to see cars neglected to that condition in my travels throughout the United States. And when you ask if they would sell it? An old geezer replies " I'm gunna restore er one of these days"..... only to sit and rot. People, if you aren't going to give a vehicle the love, care, and respect it deserves, sell it to someone who has the means to do so.
Great video and the picture collage is a perfect documentation for those that end with one of these cars later on. 👍 🏆 What a great collection of cars.
As a Chevy / Ford guy, I have always made fun of Mopars. But I have to admit, the 70-71 Cuda's have always been a car I loved. I never never restored a Mopar, but quiet a few F-Body GMs and a few Stangs.
Now these cars can be put back to their original beauty, or better. You did good!
Age and health are the nemesis of car enthusiasts: it turns collectors into hoarders because they become unable to work on the cars, which leads to lack of interest - and the cars just rot in place.
Jerry tells the best stories about cars and is an excellent documentary maker.
Thanks a ton my friend. Helps keep me going.
Id love to see updates on these restorations, do these guys have a KZhead channel ?
Rachael, thank you for sharing your story. I especialy liked the fact that you know almost everything about each car. From what I can see. each of them is in good hands. Like Jerry that is the first time I have seen multiple point snatch blocks being used. I hope to see some of these cars in future videos.
You guys need to do your research on the Camaro. It is a 1977 Z28 which were very low production. I believe only 7 different colors were offered and that one appears to be silver with red/orange accent stripes. Very cool looking "70's" era cars. Not big HP but still worth selling it versus junking it. The values of second gen Camaros keeps going up. I'm sure someone would take a swing at saving it. Good luck with all the others👍
This shit always blows me away, as someone who absolutely can not love more than one car at once and probably could not afford to, then you run across people like this deceased guy with all this desirable shit rotting away on the property, unbelievable!?, Imagine this shit if it was TRULY LOVED and properly stored!, unreal!
wonderful finds but kind of sad . at least they're going to a new home instead of continuing to rot .
I am happy that someone has taken these cars and are trying to restore these cars.Not all of them can be restore but I think with all these part you can put together a nice Cuda. There must of had alot of parts in the garage there for these car's. Good luck with the restoration process. And thank you for the video showing awesome video
All the Beer Cans Was Worth more than anything on this property.😄
Now that’s a tow truck driver
absolutely better than them rotting, pass them on so they can live again.
At least the worthless garbage that was in the garage was kept nice and dry.
Happy to see things work out best for all , God Blessings on you and your family
I've heard these two are wonderful and then I've heard the worst you can hear that's a bit conflicting because they seem genuine.I truly hope they aren't on the cheap and sneak but fair and right because there's to much of the wrong stuff going on.😢😢😢 A good father and son bringing happy fairness to families and doing good for them selves is the stuff that makes my heart beat happily..😊😊
I love your videos and definitely want more like this. It's always sad when people let classic cars go like this but good to know they will get proper restoration
Rachel, I struggle with whether to leave my only classic car to my daughter when I go, but she really wants it. Unfortunately, she does not have the skills to do any work on it, at all, so I'm not sure its a good idea. She can't even drive the 4-speed. So, I applaud you for finding people that CAN and WILL give the cars the proper care they deserve! I'm sure your dad would be proud 😉
Make sure she marries a man who can! 😂😂
Everyone of those cars are in rough shape. A monumental amount of work, time and money to rehab. Most will probably just be for parts.
Never in my life have I heard a car guy say, "I don't know" so many times. 😄 I sure hope this recovery was done before the chiggers got out.
Gotta be a great feeling cleaning those cars of and really seeing what you have. Alot of potential if you have money and time.
I do believe that your dad would prefer the sale of his Cuda collection. That's better than them rotting away. Plus the money will provide for your entire family. God bless you and your family 🙏💝
The owner who passed away should have skipped buying more cars and built a building to put them in. He had some nice stuff but the environment has been hard on them. Glad they’re going to some guys who will save whatever is able to be saved. God bless all tow truck drivers. It’s a dangerous job.
she did the right thing letting them go i think, now someone else can appreciate them as he once did.
I agree and her words have an echo to them and thus the title of this story - "I can hear my father's voice," so amazing to me - "... don't sell those cars you don't know what you have." The last three words ring in my ears to this day. Listen to her again speak them and see if they ring in your ears too
Your pops will be happy the cars will live on
Another great video, Jerry! I think it’s great that those old cars will someday be cruising down the boulevard again, and the driver will be grinning ear to ear!
The two 'Cuda's are already being restored and pretty far along to driving status.
@@thewriter2549 Thats unheard of. honestly usually in these situations they end up rotting to the point of no return.
Thanks for sharing, It's sad to me to see these cars left to return nature. Hope whoever buys them either refreshes or restores them. Fact is restoration in many cases costs so much that it is not economically viable. Good Luck!
The 72 Cuda was my pride and joy when I was 20 years old. I would die to find one of these discoveries to restore.
These cars will live again, nothing like the feeling of seeing this Rusty gold.
Rusty gold, I like that!
Cuda are my favorite Mopar then challenger then GTX but I'm a chevy guy and that bubble top if it had a 409 oh shit that would be the holy grail. Nice find I'm glad yall are going to save the Cuda. Would love to see a update
Watching this video makes me appreciate what I have, so much more.
I sure would love to find 1 of them cudas I'm in az we don't have barn finds like that😢
Always a good day when you wake up to a new Heasley video! Unique narrative, shooting, and editing makes this some of the best car content on YT. Not sure how you came up with this style, but it works! (also, Jason could have his own channel...heck, Matt's Offroad Recovery does about the same thing with 1.4 million subscribers. Great skills!)
May god bless you Rachel!
Did anyone notice the s10 had a bravada conversion done to it. Front bumper and grille from a 96 97 oldsmobile bravada. I've been wanting to convert mine, but having a hard time finding parts awesome to see one.
thanks for letting us know
I'm restoring my last 69 Chevelle she is so beautiful she was barely any work for me to do and she is now a pro street Chevelle all of them cars are so beautiful they are going to need a lot of tender loving care to bring them back as long as you have the right guys to do it you should be fine finding a lot of parts for those is going to be a problem especially the Cuda"s.....have fun.
A Great story once again from John Boy Walton. Thank you Sir
I'm flattered to be compared to that guy and I wish more people were like him.
Jason's a bad ass. Great job man!
getting them to someone who is going to restore them is the absolute best thing to do..
Yes, something many longtime owners just won't do. They plan to restore one day, they say. Change is hard for most of us.
I really admire your family business...
Every Muscle Car guy's dream is to see his car(s) restored. Her father would be happy to see these go to those guys.
Absolutely, and thanks to Rachael this is happening. We need more people like her.
She's lucky her daddy left her a house and he saved all them cars. Selling the cars is going to get her family a nice chunk of money. That should help her fix the house and have some left over. I'm very surprised she didn't take better care of the cars it seems that she should have known that they have value since she grew up in a car loving family. Cars are a great thing for a family you can go to shows, travel meet people go to swap meets, it's like treasure hunting with the family.
She had nowhere to store them, she did the right thing, her folks would be happy
Her dad didn't take care of them, you can't expect her to to have a disproportionate amount of interest.
I hope she actually made some good money for all of it
I would love to have the 1961 bubbletop Bel Air. I didn't know such a car existed until recently. I always thought the bubbletop in 1961 was exclusive to the Impala. The Bel Air was originally a 6 cylinder car. The emblem on the trunk doesn't have the "V" around the emblem, indicating a V-8. I had a 1961 Bel Air with a "flat top". The 'Cudas and Camaro's would be way out of my price range.
I had the 61 belair in tuxedo black, brand new of the truck, $2600.00 3 spd 6 cyl
Jerry, give us some updates on these and other ones from your videos. I'd love to see what some of these look like restored
Hope these guys paid what those cars are worth.
The triple black Cuda is a gem of a find Don't let anyone downplay it. I've been in a similar situation having to sell a car for the best of reasons and your Dad is proud
it was worth $50k as it sat.... guaranteed they robbed her, it will sell for over $125k, 4 brl upgrade, 4 spd.. oh boy, it prolly has the rear end to go with it as he knew what he was doing..
Damn the bubbletop i see hydraulics everywhare 😮😅😂
Dad would say "Get them to someone who will take care of them."
I never understand Why people who are in this business of collecting these old cars never build open Air poll barns... I mean at least you would have a roof overhead to protect them at the minimum.
