I traded my Corvette for a 1968 Firebird sight unseen. Then realized, the only way I'm getting home is in this 1st gen Pontiac. It was stated to have some issues, and hasn't been on the road in a decade. I've got a snow storm bearing down on me, and over 700 miles home. Think I'll make it?

Another wonderful adventure! I gotta tell you man, what I was watching the model -a video the other day and you got to talking about your grampa and how your face was hurting from smiling so much as you drove through all of those back roads, well, I musta got something in my eye. It's better now. Your videos are probably more importanter than you know to some of us. It's kinda like having a friend. Thanks to you and your family and anyone else who's helping you do this. I genuinely appreciate every minute of it.

Another fine video. Keeps me off Netflix at night. Firebird looks good and has potential to bring around. Thanks for the tips….products to buy and what to use when working on old iron.

78 year old muscle car guy I guess that's why I love this channel plus the humor from Derek. Few hours of work with wiring, wipers & heat & this will be a nice muscle car. Nothing seems to bother this guy unless we just don't see it. He just tackles the next problem & moves on.

@Jax71 Год назад

A guy comes across some great machinery. I’m not sure what you gave for this bird but I dig it. Would definitely keep it as a special going to town rig ! First ya gotta get her running and home. Here we go, let’s see what ya gotta do to get her home with a bad froze in place plug.

Watching your shows it gives me hope that the American freedom , the open road the " YOU AND YOUR CAR " it may survive. Imagen going from Minnesota to California in an electric car? Drive 150M stop for an Hour to change. You'll make it there in about 25 days and a half. Keep doing it man. Just love watching it!

This one definitely seemed in better shape mechanically than a lot of them you bring home. It's certainly one of the nicer looking vehicles. Well worth fixing up I'd think.

The 1968 pontiac Firebird is my absolutely most favorite car ever! I daily drive a 5th gen Camaro and as much as I love her the 68 Pontiac Firebird is the only car that I would ever consider trading my fifth gen Camaro for. GM absolutely knocked it out of the park with the 68 Pontiac Firebird

@leolegault2742 9 дней назад

LOL Took the exact words out of my mouth @webmastersof . I owned one when i was a young lad in my 20's , it had a big block 350ci, blew that one up, found a 400ci GTO 1970 engine that buddies and i put in, man oh man, what fun we had back then in the city of Toronto Ontario Canada....😃 of Now that i'm a retired old feller, can't count how many cars and p/u i had, my 68 Black Medowflake Metallic painted Firebird will always be my favorite.. So, i wonder if Dereck still has it after 3 yrs. of finding the Bird.

@306Nation Год назад

@danielgarrett1155 3 года назад

My first car was a '68 firebird sprint , with 250 I6 overhead cam four barrel . Three speed manual would leave a ten foot patch in third . Best $450 I've spent to date . Let her go for way less than a new business venture . Glad I'm not that dumb anymore .

I’m 52 years old and have a 84 squareboby that I’ve had for 14 years. Seems like every time I work on it, it fights me back. Then I started watching you and the way you just don’t give up. Just want to thank you so very much for your shows. Watching you gives me the determination to work on my truck and do it right. Thank you for keeping things simple and explaining the why and how things work. Hopefully I will get to meet you and shake your hand. Keep the shows coming 🤜🤛👍
