ABANDONED Dodge Challenger: Will It Survive 2,000 Miles After Sitting 37 Years? 

Yes Dylan truly saved a piece of automotive history. And I loved watching every second of the build.

Amen God is good.Awesome .Good 2 hear about people who love Jesus.

My thoughts exactly. Borderline clickbait. :/

Junkyard Kevin's gambler car reminds me of a question. For highway touring, would he save gas with large tread diameter? or low profile tires with smaller tread diameter? smaller diameter would lower the car for less air resistance, but larger diameter, as he is running, covers more distance with less RPM's. I don't know which is more important for fuel use.

Duuuuuvallllll

@@alan6832 I come from the 4x4 world where bigger tire's generally mean decreased fuel economy. The engine has to work harder to turn the larger tire. So even though it's turning slightly less rpm it's working harder at that lower rpm than it otherwise would. Hope that answered your question.

@@willfarrar3263 I think so. I can't think of why gambler cars would be different.

@@willfarrar3263 I can think of why it might be illusory though, because the bigger tires might throw the odometer off and a wrong odometer reading might be used to calculate a wrong mileage.

I still say that it needs some restoration work, though.

@@paxhumana2015 you can't recreate that kind of character. Besides, it's easier to maintain, and you don't have to worry about scratching an expensive paint job

@@nathanbopp6163 i usually love new paint but i agree on this car it just seems right

@@nathanbopp6163 , what part of "not original paint" did you lot obviously not comprehend in the video? The original paint job needs to be restored in the video. Any true restoration artist for vehicles would also tell you lot as much as well.

@@nathanbopp6163 , but leaving it as a broken and dented vehicle is a lazy and half-hearted restoration effort and, as a Christian, he is required to give it his all when it comes to the talents that YAHWEH EL ELOHIM has given to him in his life, and if you lot were ones as well, then you lot would also understand that as well in your own lives. Moreover, it just plain looks better with the dents and rust gone, as well as the paint being restored on the vehicle.

Big block hemi, or a lift for the shop? "my back can wait" 😂

@@nathanbopp6163 you'll really appreciate the lift...

I'm a middle aged worker, and you're absolutely right. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

My back blew out and forced me into retirement..5 herniated discs..I miss the hell out of it... swapping engines and building cars. Back in my day, there wasn't an internet.. you became an expert through experience and stacks of magazines 😂... I have a stack as tall as me still. The grandkids have no interest in them since they require you to turn pages.. anyone interested in 100+ issues of High Performance Pontiac?😂

Worst I've done is pulled muscles.usually got better in about a week. All I had to do is call the right uncle if I needed tech help or a special tool.

Tinkering with classic cars here in these United States is almost a sure fire way to make some amazing friends. Very few things here bring people together like old cars do. It's pretty special.

Do y'all not have a classic car culture in the UK? I'm genuinely curious. If not that's a shame dude. Over here Car's are a catalyst for forming friendships.

@@willfarrar3263 we do have car clubs and the like but in my opinion they just don’t have that special something that you have in the US. Our proper organised events can be quite good but in terms of a group of people organising an “non official” gathering in an in used car park at a weekend or evening is generally frowned upon and would likely mean the police getting involved. We are generally a nation of car enthusiasts though, especially German / Japanese.

I got away from there because there were a lot of corrupt assholes that were from the part of Tennessee where I was living, and then I moved to California, Nevada, and Minnesota. :(

@Anjan Bhattacharyya, you certainly got your work cut out for you with that rarity. Also, I once lived about an hour or so northwest of Florence, Alabama myself.

@Mike Sawyer, it is a Dodge Challenger, not a Dodge Charger, though both of them, depending on their conditions and rarity, could fetch a fair amount of money.
