Buried in the woods for 32 years! Will it RUN AND DRIVE? Abandoned Ford SuperVan! 

You guys driving down the road in a van that’s ON FIRE with the door blowing open as you try to put it out is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen in my life

This could’ve been four hours and I would’ve watched every second You two together is genius

This was the collab we all needed. My two favorite car channels coming together to start a fire in a van that sat longer than I've been alive.

This guy is the Columbo of vehicle rescues. Behaves like a charming bumbler but is actually so switched on. A joy to watch!

You two just literally re-enacted my very first van revival I did as a 16-year old decades ago, right down to the sketchy drive home with no brakes and the engine fire! I’ve not laughed this hard in a long time 😂

The two of you are entertaining together, definitely would like to see more collabs. I think you guys should do a cross country trip in this van where you convert it to a road trip van as you go. Maybe stopping at different shops/viewers/you tubers and tackling one "upgrade" at each stop.

I love this showing brings up so many memories of my Dad and I keeping cheap cars running. Some of the stuff you do my Dad taught me back when your folks MIGHT have been in highschool. Old cars, tractors, motorcycles and boats were all fair game. In my thirties I swore off rebuilding drum breaks, and exhaust systems. It has been decades science Dad and I turned a wrench, and he went home to be with the Lord many years ago. I miss him a lot. This show just reminds me of the days working with Dad on his cars and mine. Looking back now holding that flash light in all the wrong places were good times. It is nice seeing your whole family involved. God bless

My mother loved ever so dearly watching Derek and vice grip garage. Sadly she passed away just a little over a year ago at the age of only 59. The moment that Derek grabbed the Peak antifreez to pour on the sparks made me bust out in a mix of laughter and crying because it was so funny and I know my mom would have also foung it so hilarious. Thank you Derek for having given my mom somthing to enjoy in her life as much as she did. She was definitely your biggest fan!

The variety on this channel never ceases to amaze. Definitely never thought I would enjoy seeing a revival of an Econo-van, here I am, lookin right at it, IMMEDIATELEY clicking the like button.

The drive back to the shop was an all time great moment in the history of Vice Grip Garage. LOL loved it.

I love this show I think this is one of the best collaborations yet. Absolutely hilarious. Derek is funny on his own but this one tops it all day long.

I can NOT get over all the WONDERFUL, life saving safety tips that we're able to get from these videos!!!!

This is the best collab I’ve ever seen. PLEASE if y’all enjoyed your time working together keep it going. It was nice to see someone make Derek laugh for a change 😂

That final drive to the shop had me roaring and crying at the same time. Outstanding

You guys cracked me up on this project. It was a blast watching you two not giving up and having fun while doing this rescue. You guys are amazing!! That van has a lot of potential for sure.

I had a 1970 van like this , i painted it black with some nice badass wheels with white letter tires, it had the kit going around it , it had the 302, sounded good after i put the flowmaster on it, pipes coming out Infront the back wheels on both sides, smh it was cool ....

I think that van deserves a full resto honestly, seems like an incredibly fun project

I'm an older veteran who thought he had laughed at quite a few hysterics, but you two driving down the road pouring COOLANT on the fire almost killed me🤣!!! You guys might want to get a fire extinguisher if you're going to hang out together✌️❤️🇺🇲

I don't think I've said, "you gotta be kidding me," so many times in my life in a row. That was freaking unbelievable and hilarious. So glad I didn't meet you guys on the road.

Absolutely awesome! The drive had me laughing so hard had to wipe tears away. Had the ole ear buds in and wifey thought I was nuts. Then she watched the beginning, dog looking for rats, then the road trip. Thought she was going to wet her pants! Just amazing how you are saving old iron. Great job.😊

You two are an awesome team. A whole lot of fun watching. Two mellow guys, making old dead things alive!

One of the silliest, most enjoyable VGG episodes. Thank you, gentlemen.

I was screaming 240 six cylinder at the first of the video. My senior year of high school , I was the proud owner of a 1972 f100 Explorer with a 240 six cylinder engine. I got it from my dad and e tried for a couple of years to blow the motor to give him a reason to do a V8 swap. I got it a drove it to Orlando Florida from North Georgia and back for my senior trip. It used a little oil but made the trip with ease. I put a split header on it to make it not sound so much like a six cylinder. I loved that truck. Great video guys.

1st --VGG is just awesome. 2end--looks like you two have been working together as old school buddies for years. 3erd-- I would not change a thing to the van but cleaning and new needed parts to make it safer. You don’t see 3 on the tree anymore. Love it. Thank you putting this show on RU-vid. With a engine that is hard to kill.

Ive not laughed this hard in ages. That drive home was a masterclass of sketchyness. Derek is such a great teacher - as far as what absolutely not to do is concerned. Loved it.

I know it’s not right to have to pick favorites, but I think this is probably one of my top 10 VGG episodes ever. I loved every minute, the camaraderie and friendship just pushed it over the top

Had a 1964 Econoline, no side windows, barn doors side and back, drove it to CA when I moved out there in 1975, drove it back when I moved home again then drove it to and from Florida, heck it's probably still running. Loved that thing!

Here;s your comment. You guys are more entertaining than anything on the major TV networks, and should get your own show on primetime.

Had a wonderful time! I can’t wait to see some ideas of what to build with the van!

A fella is watching this in London, England.

I've watched the ending of the video several times! Laughed until I cried - you two are so, so funny! Also, the 600+ mile trip back home you did in another video was amazing!!! Your videos are great!

How could I miss this great video? That was a lot of fun for sure! You and Jared make a great team! The trip to the shop with the engine partially on fire was definitely an all-time highlight, luckily there was no further damage or other danger....well, apart from the non-existant brakes. Watching the 2nd video on Jared's channel right now.

I’ve never laughed so hard as I did on that drive! An absolute gold video! Thanks again for the entertainment Jared and Derek!!

I was laughing so hard during the last 5 minutes, my wife thought I was having a seizure.... Just really appreciate how you show what so many of us gearheads have done our whole lives, keeping these old beasts on the road.

This is a great episode loved every second of it!! I had a 74 Ford Econoline Van that my father gave to me as a kid at 17 yrs old. That van was my all time favorite and was a dream of ours to customize it. It was a white working construction van. When i got it I repainted it to Maroon body and painted the bumpers black and did the customize work inside it. Watching this brings alot of fond memories of driving that 3 on a tree Ford. Was always reliable and easy to fix. Wish I hadn't sold it ugh....

"Keep goin' fer now" *Grabs stick*, Honestly the manliest thing I've seen today and I work in a foundry, I tell you what.

You two work so well together, this should be a regular occurence! :D 1.5 hours went past like it was 15mins

At first I thought I accidentally clicked on a landscaping video. Turned out to be the best revival ever. You two are great together. Hope to see more in the future

Another fella is watching in Mckinney Texas, north of Dallas 35 miles. Ford Six bangers forever baby. They wont die.

If I was working on that windshield here I’d try bronze wool. Like steel wool but a softer material which (your mileage may vary) won’t scratch glass. More common in seaboard towns.

I think thats so awesome that youre working with Jared. I love seeing my favorite youtubers come together to make content!

"If it ain't two things, it's twelve!!" GREAT VIDEO! I was LMMFAO!! Driving down the road on fire, no brakes, Jared working that wheel like he's sawing logs with the 'barely there' steering, Derek pouring pee/coolant on the exhaust manifold with his door flying open, smoldering air freshener tossed onto the pile of flammability in the back of the van, like HOLY COW! Can any more stuff happen all at the same time?!?! My aunt used to always say, "If it ain't two things, it's twelve!", you guys had 12 squared, it seemed!! Nice work on digging it out of that muddy tomb and bringing it back to life, somewhat!

A real OG is watching this from Crackdale Toronto Ontario Canada

You and Jared work great together. Hopefully we'll get to see you guys collaborating again.

You two are like step brothers for revivals. Amazing to watch. This is the vehicle I learned to drive on, so I loved this episode. My suggestion for this van, turn it into a revival support vehicle. Gett'r all fixed up, reliable and slam all your tools, camera equipment, parts in there and drive together to revive other vehicles. Great Job guys!!!

This content was so comical 😂😂😂 we need more of yall fellas together 👏 can’t wait for this build!

Retired Truck Driver here. I'm your newest fan. Endlessly entertaining. Use Comet on the glass with lots of water and a real light touch.

At about 1 hour and 25 minutes in, it really takes a turn and is probably the funniest moment I've ever seen on RU-vid. This was epic. Proud of you guys. So much fun. And hey, this was just right up the road from me and i didn't even know it! Super cool!

From about the 1 hour 22 minute mark to the end is comedy gold. From the fire to when he added that coolant I was in tears. This and Top Gear UK (pre 2015) are the only car show the missus will watch every episode with me. Congrats on being funnier in 5 minutes that all of the late night comedy shows combined for the last 10 years. You two have a great chemistry - I'd watch you two knucklheads resurrect and ride around an old lawn mower. More of this please! :)

A fella can't quite remember how many times I've watched this episode. I believe it's my favorite one and I ain't kidding ya... 👊

By far one of your most hilarious video!! Learning to control the heat from your new heater was hilarious. Throwing the burning air freshener into the back of a leaf filled van was a classic move!!

I am so amazed by your talent! You have taught me so much Derek. From seeing what can be done when a guy puts his mind to a project, I have decided to become a mechanic myself when I get my final years of schooling. Thank you so much for all you do for us viewers.

Something I appreciate about Derek is he puts so much effort into making these videos. Maybe he just has a good stereo microphone but to me it sounds like they have some lav mics and he made sure that whoever was talking was in the correct stereo channel. Most tv shows don’t even bother with that attention to detail. Thanks for the videos, it always cheers me up seeing a new one has been released.

Derek, there's a product called "the bar keepers friend " that works really well on glass. It's a liquid cleanser that will not scratch glass. The downside is that you'll need a good amount of water to rinse it off.

I have no idea why I have a tear running down my cheek as you guys pulled her out of the grass. Man. ❤❤❤ Shes beautiful.

Love it when a car rebuild RU-vidr collab comes together. Looks like doing a run and drive is double the fun when you have a buddy along for the ride, hey Derek?

You and Jared make a great team! Thank you for putting yourselves in peril for our entertainment. I'd vote for keep it original as possible, but make it mechanically well sorted. Then drive it everywhere!

A fella here in North Carolina really enjoys all these episodes of VGG

If it was mine i would get it running, pressure wash it and send it just like it is. Those Ford straight 6 engines are indestructible. I'm commenting early in the video but i predict it will run with minimal work. As far as clutch and linkages im not so optimistic. I think that old van is really cool. I had a 1980 econoline van for awhile with a 4speed manual with overdrive 5th gear and i absolutely loved it. Mine was actually stolen if you can believe that. Hope you get the old girl running and as a long time viewer of the channel i have no doubt you will. Im really enjoying this one and cant wait to see how things turn out.

You guys had me cry laughing during that little campfire you had going on there. Love you two working together

Candidate for an amazing classic camper van. You guys killed it. I love seeing these old machines come back to life. You guys really show we can do if we really want too. So inspiring. Keep these coming!!!!

i had the same van and gave it to my brother when I lived in NY HE drove it to penn where he still uses it to this day he manages a trailer park there uses it every day it's got that never say die straight 6 cylinder i think it was still running last I knew.

Fantastic! 1:25:37 - "bottle of pee-(k)." I lost it... Two guys working hard without cussing constantly. Do this again guys.

This one was great. You 2 are such a good team. Getting Derek to laugh so often was gold. My favourite line… “75%…that means we’re going to grade 4….No more Mrs Krupp!”…. Pissing myself laughing! 😂😂 Rob, Tasmania, Australia

Brother I didn't think I would ever be so excited to see a old Ford econoline roar out of the weeds! This was hilarious with you two. Such a fun episode! Thanks for such great content.

Love your stuff and it so reminds me of us in the 60s and 70s cobbling together all kinds of monstrocities over a 12-pack in my friends garage. Lot of scuffed knuckles then with no power hand tools. I got divorced at 72 and bought an 88 Ford XLT 350 van so I'd have someplace to sleep if I needed it. I just crossed 100k original miles. I've fallen in love with this extended model, there is so much room. It's totally stock now but I could make a bedroom and kitchen in the rear. Lots of windows. Powerful torquey engine. I think it was used to take special needs kids to class so it was all local miles. I tore out 3 bench seats.

One of the craziest videos I have ever watched & I loved every minute of it! Thoroughly enjoyed watching, many thanks for an hour & a half of fun! Great work to both of you!

YES!! Love the generation of Ford vans 🥰❤️😍 . This combo of VGG & Jared is amazing! I know that technically they occupy the same space on YT, but they work sooo well together !

What a great colab, I hope to see more with you both together in the future.

My two favorite mechanics working together? This is overdose and I love it.

This brought back a lot of memories, I learned to drive in the early 90's in a 69 Econoline super van extended ( 22 feet long) 302 3 on the tree, after that no vehicle was ever hard to drive.

This was an amazing collab, and you two mesh extremely well. Glad to see Jared off in the woods doing a "Revival Drive Home"! I would lean toward a restomod, maybe vintagey camper van like others have said. It has plenty of space, power, and history. Get it road worthy/safe, clean it out, and then see what else it needs and go from there. There is a lot of cleaning and spraying to be done to get it down to base, before it can be built up and built better!

This has to be a top-five fun, crazy time and I can't believe Derick you've found your Brother from another mother. Way to go and thanks for the laugh-out-loud hour and a half of entertainment. Can't believe that motor started so well after so many years:)

I'm honestly actually really impressed with this thing!

This fella’s first “rig” was an 88 Chevy Mark III, shorty with a 305. Loved that thing. Makes me happy to se another van getting some love!!!!

The look of pure joy when it fired up for the first time in 32 years... Perfect

The trick to taking off the engine cover is to lift the front up and rotate back. You have to stand behind it while doing this. You also have to simultaneously cuss or else it doesn't work.

I'm really glad you still make content like this. Thanks for sharing!

I knew of two people each that had one of these vans! they were great back in the 70s and 80s!! Nicely rescued gentlemen!

This right here is a VGG CLASSIC!!! The banter between you and Jared is the absolute best! Can't wait to see what you guys do with this old beast!

These old vans are so cool! Glad to see you rescue one of these and keep it on the road. Gives a guy extra motivation to hit the garage and get my 71 E200 back running.

You guys are born to work together...this could be a hit television show...you just gotta do more together...don't miss this great opportunity 👍

I like this, you sound a lot happier/joyful with some company. I can’t imagine it being all that fun all alone 😂 It’s nice to hear you actually laugh

You two guys really played well off each other, it was funny as hell. I think a van with this much space should be a conversion van for doing a little traveling.

Those old Ford straight 6s are almost indestructible. My dad ran a construction company and he put that f150 with a strait 6 through its paces on the week days then pulled a camper and a boat behind the camper on the weekends. That truck finally gave up after 890,000 miles.

They're like brothers. So funny!

Jared is one of the best guys in the business. Glad to see you two making awesome content together.

Awesome collab Derek and Jared! Can't wait to see what you do with the van. Turn that beast into an offroad dirtbike/toy hauler!

Two of my favorite guys to spin a wrench. Genius you two getting together. Nothing is safe, from being fixed.

A fellet is watching this in Cali Colombia! Love what you do. My dad taught me to be a mechanic.... I'm reeeeeeeaaaal rusty, like the old beautiful babies that you resurrect. But your talent and videos refresh my soul. Thank you for doing what you do.

Lawn maintenance is the start of good car repair

Hi derrick really enjoy your channel,you are a great master mechanic you make it look so easy, you're a smart man.👍👋

You and Jared need to be a permanent thing that drive to the shop was absolutely hilarious

The drive to the shop is the greatest thing I've seen in a long time.

My grandfather would put some big mud tires on the rear of his work van to get through PA winters and it never let him down. This reminded me of him 🙏

Do NOT miss the last five minutes of this video because that is golden!

This was the typically-funny Derek video we've come to expect, but working with Questionable Garage made it even better. The last several minutes with the flaming ride home was hilarious!

So glad to see you guys working together again! Thanks for all your time and efforts for our entertainment!

That super van would make a nice camper. I want one! What a hilarious ending .😊😊

Any show Jared pops up on is worth watching.
