Very cute daughter. ;-) Come on Jim, one weekend of deep cleaning/ detailing, another couple weekends throwing some money at it to get it on the road...take you, your daughter and grandkids out for a cruise- PRICELESS. Then let Heather have it so she can finally drive that Camaro- and she'll always cherish it because it's tied to you!!!
Looking good for 49.5 right? I think he should have it restored for the family.
Back when I was young a friend had a 68 rs ss I painted it for him I did it in metallic black I loved that car.
A little delegation with help and direction's it could rise again COME ON Mann you will not regret it your case has opened my eyes i have 3 VETTES that need despite help get off stop
I see 5000 $ in dental work.
I was thinking the same thing! Fix it and leave it to her
Whatever Jim decides to do with his vintage car I wish him luck. Oh, and his daughter, doesn't look a day older than 25. Thanks for sharing.
"I just don't have the time to mess with it" ... famous last words. In other words, I can't stand to part with something from my youth. I hate to say it but that car will still be sitting there when he passes away and his daughter won't have any idea what to do with it. I realized years ago, when my passion for something faded, it was time to move on and let someone else enjoy it.
Yes she will. She'll either have it restored herself and enjoy it or clean it up, research it and sell it. With the internet, she'll have no problem getting what it's worth or just using the easy method and put it on ebay and let the buyers decide it's value. Either way, she wins. It wont cost her anything to buy it and be pure profit.
Holding on to the dream - can’t let go. I see it time and time again.
Just think of the number of guys out there with the time and resources to get that beautiful Camaro back on the road 🙂 I like his daughter's attitude 😁
MOST of those guys would ruin the car by making it an LS swapped drag car likely with a big turbo. The most value that car will have is to his daughter and he's to dumb to see it. Everyone else will just see it as a thing, for her, it connects her with her father.
I like the daughter and the car, I'll take the daughter you take the car
Doug Collins would probably do it right. He's want to dig for the original engine though from his buddy he sold it too.
@@marksmith7054 deal . . . i already have 2 daughters , another one would bankrupt me !
Nice video. Thanks for the tour. I still have my 1970 Challenger and my 1970 GTX. I have had the Challenger since 1979. The GTX since 1981. I drive them weekly. I also have a 1988 Conquest TSI and a 1991 Stealth TT. I just can’t get rid of my cars. I also own a 2009 Challenger R/T 6-speed manual with the STP package. I am 63 years old and I enjoy driving each one. They all have different memories. So I will continue to drive down memory lane every chance I get.
Everything we own will end up someone else's someday...that's a fact. Watching videos like this has made me come to the conclusion that if you care for something that much , and your kids could care less about inheriting it , then I would rather be involved in deciding its future then having to put that burden on my loved ones. Good story as always Jerry.
I like the older woman who found a new owner for her original mustang. Not letting someone else decide.
In fact right now my dad is on hospice and I am cleaning out his belongings. He got cancer and given 6 months. He's at 7 months now. People need to realize that at some point, they could get that diagnosis and then there goes time out the window. I have to imagine there would be a lot of joy bringing in some KZhead car guys to put this back together even just for a ride around the mini warehouse. It would get a ton of views and a smile on his face.
@@snake_eyes_garage Sorry to hear about your Dad. I agree 100% with everything you just said!
@@snake_eyes_garage Don't give up, there's still hope for your Dad. A guy in Oklahoma named Joe Tippens had stage 4 lung cancer and after having 1.2 million dollars worth of Chemotherapy, the cancer spread throughout his body and even into his bones and neck. His cancer doctor told him to go home and call hospice, because he only had a few months to live. On the advice of his veterinarian, who had cured her cancer with fenbendazole dog wormer, he started taking it and was cancer free in 3 months. Big Pharma is obviously covering this up,, because it was on the local news here several years ago, and the national media never reported it. As you know Chemo is a billion dollar industry and big pharma controls the national media through all the money they give them to advertise their drugs, so they wouldn't dare report on a cure that would cost the drug companies money. This cure was an accidental discovery. Scientists were using mice for cancer research and gave them fenbendazole to control the parasites. Soon they noticed that the mice were being cured of their cancer. You can google "Joe Tippens protocol" and it shows the dosages he took. He also took theracumin, which is a more absorbable form of curcumin. Good luck and God Bless.
Exactly right. Everything on the face of the earth is TEMPORARY. Everything.
Well? At least he keeps it inside. What a beautiful survivor. Thanks for showing us they are still out there.
Yeah but look at the heavy rust underneath, all the hoses, possibly the wiring, brake lines, rotors, and exhaust. It's a lot of work still to do.
I didn't see heavy rust underneath, just normal surface rust that is easy to remove.
I would like to see this all cleaned up. Matching engine would put that over 100k
He can't pull the trigger. He knows he should but can't. When you asked him why he hasn't and he told you he didn't have the time, his expression told the truth. I hope he can finally let it go. It's a sweet ride.
In the mid 70's I bought a '71 Mach 1. It was a pretty shade of blue with the 351 4barrel Cleveland & C6. It had a the functional hood scoops if I remember right. Black interior, I really liked the looks of the fastback styling. I remember seeing some Boss 351's around, unfortunately I never had one!
Great story Jim & Jerry and car. Thanks for sharing. It will be a sweetheart again. Interesting how our tastes evolve over the years but the fever is still in there stirring around to smoke em down!
I stored my racing memorabilia in a rental. Expensive over the years!
$43,000.00 est in that condition in my eyes being around cars since I was 9 years old ! And early in my life my mother had a 1967 blue camaro . Victor from Palmdale California
@Thomas AND NOT THE ORIGINAL MOTOR? Huge decrease!
Back in the day, my brother in law had one of those RS/SS Camaro's with a 396. That was a kick ass car.
Great of Jim and Heather to have you over, thanks for bringing us Jerry 👍
Jim is actually originally from Minnesota, which is a big car collector state. I think the 'Back To The Fifties Weekend" in Minnesota is one of the biggest and best car shows in the country. Thanks for watching.
I will never understand people like this. Keep a vehicle all of these years in that condition. I have a 20 year old daughter and if she said “dad, I’d like to have that car to drive” I’d spend every penny I had to get it running and make sure it was safe to drive. With one condition. She wouldn’t be allowed to sell it. But to let it sit in that condition for over 35 years? 👎👎
If fixed up, it would be too nice. Can't park it in public Someone will steal it. Grand theft auto style
Throw a cover on it , at least! These barn find shows are weird.
Great video and back story. Awesome car. And to answer his question honestly.... I would much rather deal with his daughter, if I were to buy it. She doesn't have the emotional attachment to it, that he does. That alone would knock a pretty big amount off of the price. And it's true what they say. No one screws you, like father time. It catches up with all of us, sooner or later. Thanks for the video
I like your analogy, you nailed it sir. 🎯 It's really a drag when you had three back surgeries in just over 10 years,, two of which were fusions before you even hit 60, that got me thinking about something else,, I hope my 2006 Ford Fusion I just acquired not too long ago holds up better than my back!?!✌️
Heather uhave a beautiful soul and Mr Jimmy God bless you and your family.
Healthier looks amazing for 49.
What a shame for a car like that to be collecting dust. Those cars were meant to be driven and enjoyed. I have a family member that is a hoarder, and that's exactly who this guy is. It's a compulsion and he can't help it. I predict when he passes, that car and everything else will be right there.
I had a 67 Mustang fastback for 25 years. It was meant to be wrapped around a telephone pole. Maybe fate caught up with it after I sold it.
I grew up owning a half a dozen of these older Camaro's (67 - 69). Wish I had any of them now. My Mom & Dad asked me if I wanted their car, a 1968 Corvette convertible about 15 years ago. Not my first choice, but considering I knew all about the car, 91,000 original miles, numbers matching car, 327/300hp, been in family since early 70's. Not that it is in horrible shape, just trying to decide whether to go through it is worth the cost of restoring it.
Sure it is. It's a family heirloom that deserves to stay in the family. My '80 Trans Am is like that. My parents bought it brand new and I went with them to buy it. They're both gone, so the car helps me remember them.
@@googleusergp I AGREE 💯% and I'm sorry to hear about your parents!! By the way I thought you mentioned a 79 10th anniversary trans am? (On a different KZhead channel)✌️
Cool Story, not very many of us old collectors still out there like that but you got to know your time limit and when it’s time to give it up. Either to a family member that will carry on the legacy or just sell it to a collector that will appreciate it.
God Bless you "Pappa" heartbreakingly selling your treasures. x
Great car!! Great story,,,thanks Jerry
Time above ground is running out pops. I too had several vintage cars including 69 Lemans, 69 Camaro and a 79 T-Bird (bought the T-Bird brand new when I was 19 and it only has 33K original miles on it). A few years ago, I gave all my cars to my kids so they can enjoy them.
Great story Jerry, thanks for sharing
Thanks and good last name
He will never sell that Camaro. It’s his life, his soul, his main talking attraction to talk to strangers about.
I've seen that, but not this time, if you recall all the other interests he told us about.
@@thewriter2549 I think you're wrong. I feel he can't sell her, or anything else he owns. His daughter is going to have one hell of an auction!
Awesome car, great story, beautiful daughter
Hi again, is this Jerry from the story about the Camaro? OMG that daughter is gorgeous mate! Cool thing, I bought a 1968 Falcon Futura Coupe here in Australia recently which might interest you. Also doing up a 1968 Chev Impala Ambulance and a 1965 Ford Galaxie.
It still blows my mind that there are cars like these still out there. Very low mile, original pieces that someone just put up one day and left. Also, I would've never guessed his daughter was approaching 50. Wow, beautiful!
How's the daughter's mileage?🤔
@ Matt Evans I imagine there's many more iron souls out there too and it makes me feel good knowing that, but on the flip side it really hurts when I see them left outside indefinitely and forgotten, I do realize we can't always get what we want.✌️ And yes her husband sure is a lucky man, she's like a ray of sunshine after a heavy rain.
Sweet car. My dream car is the 67 RS/SS Camaro.
Good to "see" you again, *Jerry* . Hope you and yours are doing well sir... This gentlemans' situation is repeated thousands of times all across this globe, with some handling it well and others....well, not so well. Ultimately, we in the hobby are all *stewards* of these cars - which includes being responsible for seeing they are passed on to those who will continue or even improve the cars' lot in life, so that they may be preserved and presentable to future generations as the special moments in *time* they represent. Hard as that is for all of us to do - it's what we *must* do in the end. I hope this gentleman finds the strength and peace to do so, too. Be safe, my friend. See you on the next one. - Ed on the Ridge
This is what happens. This is one of those stories. Thanks for checking in again.
Sweet, new owner best be ready to replace every rubber part.
Sign explains it all,lol.
Man that looked so sweet in the old Photos when it was clean
So cool!! I've had my low mileage 93 twin turbo stealth stored away since 07.. seeing this makes me realize I'm not alone.. lol!! Btw keep that thing in the family!
I'm impressed, and maybe some day we'll do a video and a story on your Stealth.
That car is priceless. I like when he said if he sells it he ain't himself Anymore....somebody should Rebuild it and give it to his daughter Beautiful car . American car Those hideaway headlights get Me
Love that sign behind him
OMG 😳 WOW 😳! What some amazing pieces. Every gear head & collector are drooling all over their lap & shoes watching this. And I know this how? Cause I'm doing it myself! 😁😆😅😂🤣 Tell me I'm wrong. 😅🤣
Jerry said “ What’s holding you up from selling it? “ owner said “ I don’t have time to mess with it”……..An owner’s dream of cashing in on the big one with no time to clean it up? …..Give ME two 8 hours days and it will be ready to sell………
like I said just a excuse.
Seriously....
NO WAY YHIS CAR WILL BE READY TO SELL IN 16 HRS. MAYBE IF YOUR NAME IS CHIP FOOSE ?
@@robertmoran4841 I was thinking he was being sarcastic with the 16 hours..... now I'm hoping he was. But it wouldn't take you long if you just started getting on it
I love original cars vs restored ones. Wish I could buy the camaro.
I remember in the 80s passing this guy's house where a 1957 Chevy convertible was sinking into the earth. My buddy worked in a body shop and knew the guy, who refused to sell it to me or anyone. "I'll get to it someday" he'd say, but odds are that the car deteriorated to the point of no return. That's why I have so much respect for the guys who let go of these cars they never got to finish, because it takes courage to do so.
yup nothing worse then letting them rot out.....
I've got a Camaro for Heather. It's a 1973 and she can drive it right now.
She looks amazing! 49 years old !! Fooled me !
Ive been looking for that exact car for 15 years, gives me hope that i might one day find it, now thats its out there it wont really be attainable for me, can’t blame the guy for getting the most money out of it
" a man and his garage" . A true American love affair. ❤️
I like that. There's more story to this below the surface, that's for sure. Hope to find out. More coming up.
I bought my 67 Camaro 50 years ago. At 17 for 775.00 with 89,000 miles on it and it now has 110,000 Mine is a cream Puff and has always been in the garage with a cover over it .
Might be an 'original' 23000 mile car with 'original' paint and he's trying to find similar cars for sale to work out it's value BUT it needs a full repaint and it's got a non original engine from a pick-up in a breakers yard that could have done 200,000 miles. Lovely guy and a lovely car but hey sometimes you need a little realism. Find that old corvette and pull the engine ! There's always time, you just have to commit to finding it. I hope for his daughter's sake that he gets himself organised and gets that car gone 🤞
I agree on the engine. He hunted that original 396 for a long time with no luck. I put the engine suffix code in the video. Maybe we can reunite the engine with the car. I think a full repaint would be a huge mistake. Blend in new lacquer on the door and back panel. He is very organized. How many people have a storage warehouse to organize their collections?
@@thewriter2549 Yes, this is a survivor call all the way, with that original interior and 90% original paint and those low miles. Worth far more that way. I am reminded of Antiques Roadshow, when the appraiser looks the furniture piece over after the owner brags about just having had it refinished, and then gives the news that it was worth 6x more if it had the original finish on it, D'op!
I have a 396 hidden away I'll have to get it out and see what the codes are I'm sure it's not it but you never know
I had a 1967 RS/SS 350 4 speed with the factory 8 track stereo, that I got sometime in 1968 as a year old vehicle.
I feel ya,,you had an emotional attachment for most of your life,,, funny how us humans get attached to a piece of machinery,, we're all guilty,,hard to let go,, someone else will be the next temporary guardian,, nothing lasts forever.. life goes by fast.. great vid.
what a delightful guy!
15:12 that smile says she's been waiting 50 years for him to say that!
if I knew that old boy and lived close i'd get it running and up to snuff for him..
All seriousness aside, this guy needs to give that daughter the car asap. He's about to move on to the next level of consciousness.
Thx4 sharin'. 😁
This car is a gem.
what a beautiful rig.
Beautiful daughter.
Put a Automatic in it ! I had a 67 RS/SS 350 automatic! Great time in that car
I had a 69 Camaro Yenko ..sold it after getting out of the army ..1800$ worse decision I ever made lol … when your young you have different goals..thanks for the great video
Love this channel.
the way i see it its his life he can do what ever the hell he wants
as cool as the cars are..the sweetest thing is the daughter in her cute little hat ...
Awesome car but yes he made some huge mistakes with it.the things we do when we're young and dumb to the real world. You can hear the regret in his words about the engine the drivers side door the gas cap housing the grill SS removed and on and on. Way to late now to ponder of those mistakes. Time to get it online forsale and someone will put it back to the original car it was and close as they can and have beautiful camaro again that's not just sitting in a storage facility wishing it was on the road. Hes definitely right when he said life gets in the way of many things. Hes a good man and he deserves for someone to buy his old prized possession and put it back together and take him for a ride in it before he's gone. Nice video sir
I had a friend that I knew all my life since 1962. He came into some money in 1995 and started buying every muscle car from the 60s and early 70s he ever wanted. He’d start on one never finish what it didn’t need then start another and do the same thing. I’d ask him why don’t you get that 65 Vette on the road then get something else. His answer was always the same, you don’t understand. After 18 cars and not paying his taxes he had to start selling off cars. Eventually he passed away and his poor sister had to sort out the mess. This guys gonna do the same thing, but he’ll tell you, you don’t understand.
I bought a ‘70 Bronco about 12 years ago from an over the road trucker, who purchased it from western Montana fifteen years prior to that. He simply parked it inside until the day he was ready to restore it, which never came. I owned it for a few years, then decided to have it restored. Between two friends who were trying to make a go of a restoration business, and me helping out how I could, and playing mediator, it was finished 4 years later after a lot of headaches. I only drive it 60 miles over the next 5 years, because of a lot of nearby road construction, and simply being apprehensive about scratching it or worse. This year, I told our two sons we were going to start enjoying it. We drove it about 250 miles so far, to a large Midwest Bronco event with a scenic cruise. I even let the boys take it one day…. Something I am happy to have done finally.
A story with a good ending, thanks for sharing.
Pulled and sold the original engine on a 67 RS/SS! My god man!
Car has potential.
Good stuff
Thanks
I don't think he'll ever get top dollar, if someone hasn't already seen this video tracked him down and offered cash. I've grown to appreciate 'unoriginal' more than original cars. I would prefer this car to drive than an original to store away. And I need to add Heather is super fine. Would love to see her behind the wheel for sure.
Another great video. I think he needs to fix it up for Heather.
Tats a tough one. He just likes to know in that stall. It seems he knows he “should” sell but just can’t squeeze the trigger. I suggest. Clean it up and drive once in a while, might put a smile on his face, even with the bum leg.
Barrett-Jackson, cars are going for big money there
when I was 17 I bought a 67 RS Camero and at 18 bought a 68 RS SS. My ultimate desire was the 67 RS SS because the 67 had the smokers window which gave the main window more stability and acted like an air-conditioner
Omg this was my 1st dream car I had my second dream car 1st. Big block 4sp ss/rs Dad just realize he could have giving that car you his daughter. Lol
The daughter is cute ;) im in love 🥰
Nice car
We all are caretakers of these old cars. A car can on you instead of you owning the car.
Dad took me to order my new 1979 Z-28. It was white with blue stripes, and baby blue interior. 4 speed, 350 V-8, Positraction rear end, 8 track. I don't think I ordered air conditioning. My payments were around 160$. I sold it in 1983 when I was pregnant. I wonder where it's at today...
There's people out there that don't want to part with their classic car or truck because they dream of restoring it one day & never doing for what ever reason I sat if you're not going to restore it sale it to someone that will. It's deserves to bring it back to life to be enjoyed
Thats possibly an RS/SS if those hideaway lights came with the car making it even more rare. If that engine somehow made the rounds and came back would make an even better story. Thats a piece of amazing history
He bought it, he kept it all these years and he ain't dead yet. It's his and he can sit on it until he is ready to part with it. He may never be ready. At least it's stored inside and he has emotional attachments to it the next owner may not have. Imagine someone buying it, hacking it up and turning it into a resto mod or something. Put it in the will, and let your daughter know the reasonable value and how and where to try and sell it.
As long as I'm around, no worries.
@@thewriter2549 Jerry, I really appreciate what you do. Thank you for sharing these super cool stories! What do you think his Camaro is really worth? Because that's the number I'd have faith in!
I bought my first car, my 5.0 4 speed 1979 Mustang Indy Pace Car in August 1987 and I planned on never selling it. It was thoroughly abused before I got it including SCCA class A showroom stock racing. I was borrowing money to keep fixing it and I was working at minimum wage. Then it had an engine fire and the insurance company was horrible. It was kinda fixed and finally sold for a lot less than it had been appraised for. Now almost anything Mustang Foxbody is several thousand dollars and I’m broke. I’d be happy to be able to buy just about any Foxbody hatchback that not a 4 cylinder or a rust bucket.
You have our sympathy. I'm sure you've learned a lot and will make a better purchase on the next car. Let us know what you get next.
@@thewriter2549 Not sure when that will happen with my many health problems.
Amazing except for the driver door and rear !
When I left Alabama for Texas I sold my 4 door 56 chevy for $125 and my 66 Mustang 289 3 speed with Pony Interior for $150
He should get it back to good and give it to his daughter straight up! ☺️
I would pay twice the asking price for a hug and kiss from Heather!!!
Love the “Masks not Allowed”sign on the wall.
@ Todd McCool. I call them Face Diapers. 💩
Wow, what a great car! Did he ever sell it?
No, still unchanged.
"MQ" comes back as a 1967-1968 Camaro 396 CID/375 HP with manual transmission or a 1967 Chevy II with a 396 CID/375 HP with a manual transmission. I think I see "7N" as the part of the VIN sequence. This would mean it came out of a 1967 (7) vehicle assembled at Norwood, OH (N) which both the Chevy II and Camaro would have been made there in 1967. The "T" in the engine number means Tonawanda (NY) engine assembly, which still operates today. When you get the tag, you can brag: 05E for the fifth week of May 1967 production, 67 for 1967 model year, 12437 for Camaro Sport Coupe with standard interior, NOR for Norwood, OH assembly (which closed in August 1987), 760-Z for standard black bucket seats, R-R for Bolero Red upper and lower exterior paint, Group 2 accessory code: L for four speed manual transmission, G for console, S for rear antenna, 3 for RPO code Z22 Rally Sport Equipment, Group 4 accessory code of N for 396 CID/325 HP engine. With the VIN, you'll win: 1 for Chevrolet, 2 is the same for all 1967 Camaros, 4 for V8 equipped, 3 for coupe, 7 is the same for all 1967 Camaros, 7 for 1967 model year, N for Norwood, OH assembly and the rest is the production sequence.
Don't see an "MQ" engine code or a 7N. "MW" is visible on Protect-O-Plate print out for the 325 horse 396, and the cowl tag has "4N" for the same. Both are shown and mentioned in the video.
@@thewriter2549 I know that. The engine in the vehicle now has "MQ" on the stamping pad and a partial VIN of "7N". Go to 5:35 into the video where you zoom in on the engine stamping pad. The engine in the car now was made at Tonawanda, NY (T) on May 26th (0526) with a suffix code of "MQ" (396 CID/375 HP, manual transmission). Next to that is a partial VIN stamp of 7N230691 (from what I can read). That would be 7 for 1967 model year, N for Norwood, OH (again, the Camaro and the Chevy II were both assembled at Norwood in 1967). The 230691 is the production sequence of the vehicle that this engine was originally installed in.
Sorry, that is a photo from my files of a 396 out of another Camaro. I should have said this is a "file photo." He sold the original 396 back in 1960 or 1970 when he did not realize the importance of matching numbers or even know of their location, so he did not take a picture back then, of course, to keep until today.
@@thewriter2549 Well that changes things then. The way it was presented was indicating that was the engine in the vehicle now.
Reminds me of when I bought my 1968 SS396/375hp, Rallye Green w/white stripe, M22, 12 bolt, for $800 (those were the days). Kept it about a year and traded it on a Datsun 1200 during the gas crunch.
I don't know much about old school American cars, so what would this car go for as it sits?
You would think he could locate that guy with the corvette that BOUGHT HIS MOTOR back in 69???
Pinstripe is tape, factory painted them then
Real collectors are great
I don't care what type of car it is or how rare it is ill be driving it daily. Being a hoarder and sentimental are completely different things
i love the no mask sign
Now I'll have to watch the video again 😉
@@kimosabbe50 when they are talking in the office it's behind him
WOW WHAT A DREAM CAR 🚗 😍 😳 CAMERO..4 SPEED ,WITH A BIG BLOCK..LOVE YA GUYS..AND LOVE TO OWN ONE,,ONLY A DREAM
That "MQ" engine block is a 1967 L78 (396/375)
CB Jeep would by it for a proper value.
I can relate to this like many commenters here. I graduated high school in 1981 and found a 69 Camaro when I was at a party. It was obtained in a divorce settlement by an ex wife. I paid $700 for a 4 speed 396 car. I ran it hard all summer and had to put in a 350. Met the love of my life and we had kids right away. Parked it in 1989. Traded it to my brother and thought the story ended. I was thinking about the car and found out my daughter inlaw called my brother to ask about buying it for my son's 30th birthday. He GAVE it to her and we hauled it back home in pieces. It now sits with a 468 BB and a Tremec 6 speed. I still had the protecto-plate and original bill of sale for it. I was 3rd owner
Email me - might make a video/story - jerryheasley@gmail.com
He wanted a bigger big block in that little street car. I have been in several of them back in the late 60s and the SS 396 in that little car was just fine. Even back in the day, I would have left it as it was unless I wanted to go serious drag racing.
I agree the 396 was plenty powerful thank you for that Camaro; however, he did say he wanted to build the fastest Camaro in the country and go drag racing.
How do you sell something like that ? I couldn't
