Gas Monkey Strikes MOPAR Gold: Rare Find Revealed 

Did you know that 'Mod Tops' were a thing before this video? 🤔

The passion these guys have for saving these cars is pretty amazing.

I was in Dallas for my honeymoon last week, and went to Gas Monkey Garage twice hoping to run into you! Now I know where the great Richard Rawlings was on Friday! Haha.

The love Richard got from those 5150 guys was amazing. Salute got my respect💪👍

Beer at 0630 😂😂😂 in the end… it’s Friday and we gotta get home and get cold beers! You have been drinking beers all day, love your shows, but take care of yourself man, you’re no spring chicken anymore ❤

You've learned how badass the Mopars are.. I'm sure you knew all the engineering that went into them for drag racing... Which is why I fell in love with them. Not to mention there's no better sound than a Mopar

Nice to see you showing the mopars a little love lately. They're badass cars.

That white/black Charger is sweet! Beautiful! The guy's at Mopar 5150 seem really cool.

Great video...would love to see Richard out in the field doing more "finds" like Dennis does. Two different viewpoints of cars...love it ! TIMBO

31 minutes of Richard with a beer in his hand. 😂👍🇨🇦

This and the last episode are bang on the money. Great content. To see some more money put into the vehicles and a little more minor restoration to the vehicles before resale would be good to see. This is great stuff and much better than previous content

"This week on Coffee Walk... we find the holy grail MOPAR!!! And get this... it is the long lost Mod Top!!!" - Dennis Collins

I had a 67 Coronet black with a white top for like 25 years. Loved seeing so much Mopar's in this video! Love that you saved that one Richard! Peace

" in Mopar world there are no parts cars"..never a more accurate quote ever sor! (*Sir, that is)

I'm the guy who commented in your recent video, about you needing wireless microphones on all the participants in the videos and I'm pleased to see you got that sorted. However, now that they are wearing the microphones you now need to mix the audio better. The MOPARS man in this video was way too loud in the mix. Hope you appreciate the feedback.

People fail to realize, at this level, cars are really only body tags. They can get some really extensive restoration. Having original block and correct running gear is always a plus.

Mopar 5150, thank you for saving the past and the future of Mopars🙏👍

WOW! So many classic and rare cars in one building. Man, I'm glad somebody has the ability to save those old beauties. I was squirming in my chair seeing all those awesome cars that used to prowl the streets of my town and the several towns nearby. It was great be twenty in 1966. There were some roads just out of town where we could move to and have a couple races before the cops showed up. Bless their hearts, they were worried we might have a wreck and get hurt. They thought they were protecting us. We always posted sentries to warn us when the cops were heading our way. Flash the headlights really fast as a warning and we would bug out. We had to find at least three places outside each town so cops never knew which one we would go to. The surprise was sometimes the Dart with a small block. Man those could be made quick with good tuning and headers. One guy had a Dart with a 340, he found a six pack manifold for it. Of course till he opened the hood we assumed a four barrel. He had a shop fine tune and balance it, install a hot cam and it had headers tuned for max torque. The headers dumped into four exhaust pipes, four Hush Thrush mufflers. It had an awesome tone to it. If I remember correctly the rear end was a 391 suregrip mated to sticky Mickey Thompson fat tires. That little Dart embarrassed some big block cars. But it wasn't stock either! My fun car was a 1969 Road Runner. I had a shop fine tune the distributor and carb. The engine was stock. He jetted the carb with bigger jets and had me run a slightly hotter spark plug. I put free flow mufflers on it that had a deeper tone. A few guys accused me of having a 440 in it. It was a four speed and had a 323 sure grip axle. After he worked on it, I swear if felt like it had another 30 horse. I could get the jump on a GTX 440 automatic right off the line and would stay ahead at the 1/4 mile. It was gaining on me but could never quite catch me before the 1/4. I learned to shift to second gear without releasing the gas pedal. Just shift as fast as possible and slide left foot off the clutch. BANG, it made a noise like a truck hit me from behind and it would lunge forward. It was faster than all the Road Runners I came up against. One had a 411 rear axle, he was gaining on me till I hit second and whoosh I was instantly a whole car length ahead. He hit third before me and then I started pulling away. I think he was geared too low. It sure was great to be young and crazy in the 60's.

Grandma's table cloth , but my inner geek knows it must be saved 🤓 extra line on the lotto is my only hope...

What a cool guy & great crew with a passion to keep the old Mopar's alive.

I absolutely love what Richard has done with the show. To think that there used to be a very expensive producer and film crew. A huge team I'm sure to film the show. To set up shots and kind of script the show. Richard has proven that Even a Monkey can produce a show.

These guys have the right attitude. In the Mopar world no car is too far gone.... once they are destroyed the total number of classic Mopars are reduced for good.

I’m completely shocked Mr. Richard that you only bought one car 😳. 51/50 guys are coming to Texas, you’ll be giving them more money soon enough!!! 👍 Great video

Yes. when I was a kid there was a mod top dart a friends mom had given him. the first thing he did to it was pulled into our auto shop and in just a few hours no more flowers!

Lite beer catching up with Richard.

Love it; its like having another Graveyard Cars.

Superb Vlog !! Richard ....... What An Outstanding Group Of People !!.............. Bless You All ............. Peace

Mopar people are always so passionate. Love when they know all the numbers

Wow what a treasure full of great projects and awesome rides

This seems perfect for GYC. I wonder if Richard knows mark personally. No one ever talks about those guys when it comes to mopar.

Damn Richard, drinking at 6:45 a.m? Sounds like me on vacation

Richard this building that the morpar guys are in was a skating ring when I was a kid. Cleveland and Helen is my home town. I retired in Atlanta as a cop I came back home to police in Helen. I was working that weekend you were up and I wished I would have ran into you. A few years I came out to TX and you took care of me at the GM restaurant.

Id like to see the Rum Runner on the road put a big engine in it some crazy huge wheels like HRE fix up the holes and interior .Thatl be the best patina car in the world i recon .It will look amazing driving down the road in it

Rum runner would make a killer gasser, Hilborn stacks through the hood , hemi powered

God bless these Mopar guys for saving these treasures the world needs more like them

Great video! I used to live on Dacula, GA, I have visited Helen, GA many times, been to Cleveland, GA home of the Cabbage Patch Kids, Vidalia, GA for the onions, Woot! GYSOT! God Bless!

When I's a teen in the 70s I use to pinstripe people's cars and my daddy came up with the idea of using the thin masking tape to just go crazy with the type of pinstripeing that's on that car. He also painted pictures on people's cars and van's cause it was a thing in the 70s lol. I don't remember exactly which year the factory started putting pictures on em at the factory. It was mostly fully loaded van's. Most people bought plain van's and my daddy put the pictures on em...I can't remember the last time I pinstriped a car but it had to of been in the early 80s...I also remember the mod tops but I 4got all about em cause I thought the owners took em to Kustom Van and had em done thataway cause I think 1 was all I'd ever seen and it was only at a drag track once that I can remember...

Love the MoPar's! I am pretty sure that guys and some women will still get into saving and driving old cars 100 years from now.

Glad to see the Mod/Floral top cars getting some attention. I bought a 69 Dart and didn't know it was a 1 of 25 V1H car til later. Nobody thought the car was worth fixing so nobody bothered to decode the fender tag!!! Hopefully she gets some work done in the next few weeks and I can start uploading some new vids of the progress!!!

Richard is really working on that beer belly 😆

Beer kicked in hard right about here 28:28 🤣🤣🤣

I just like how he don’t let his emotions get to him it’s hard to see if he likes that car or not 😂

Texas awaits the arrival of this cool shop.

Man! You can find some rigs, good to have the connections you've amassed over the years. Good luck in the hunt!

The crash pad sounds AWESOME and the Mopars too GET YOU SOME OF THAT *WHOO* 👊🏼😎🤙🏼

Helen is great tourist trap. Fun weekend getaway in the mountains, but someone gave you bad info. Most of the county is dry, but Helen certainly isn't. They have a Hofbrauhaus, and multiple other Biergartens literally right around the corner of the fried cheese cafe.

Come on Richard get the Mopars And get him back to Texas I have faith in you you're a hell of a business man

The background music is super lame in this one ...

Helen definitely serves beer. Maybe not at 9am but it's there.

Love the videos. Dont care for the background music during the entire video. Keep the content coming

Man, Richard is such a cool dude

greetings from italy, definitely we are fanatics about true U.S.A. car, especially because when we start to come out from poverty and rebuild our country, american dream was clearly visible from your car, your life style and so on, during the 60's and over... one little issue, our street are too narrow and fuel here cost 2 times than US!

Never heard of ModTop car!! Metro Detroit Loves you guys!!!! G

Nope, Richard, never knew THAT...but I learn something new evertime I watch you and Dennis too!...(bless y'all)

These guys should reach out to Mark at Graveyard Cars. I'm sure he would be interested in some items.

Gettin hammered with a celebrity, looking at cool cars... Now, that's life !!

That gator roof 440 is GORGEOUS

Helen GA serves all kinds of beer. I have been enjoying Octoberfest in Helen for 20+ years it is a great time. If you catch the bug go to Frankenmuth MI

This was pure gold!

Awesome video!!! Don't quite know what it is, but classic Mopars have a fan base like no other make! 33 years ago, I purchased a '69 Coronet R/T 440/4spd/Dana before the prices went thru the roof, and I can't imagine selling it at any price! They are very special cars!

More than one million subscribers, congratulations!!!🎉

My Grandfather had a 68 Coronet White w/ Black Vinyl top, then he traded that in for a 75 Chevrolet Caprice Classic, a step down in Coolness ! They didn’t have “White Claw” back then but maybe Miller Lite !

This is why we audio check. Great video otherwise. I’m always down for more mopar!

Kudos to the guys at mopar 5150.. yall rock!

If I was richards age, and as much beer as he drinks, I’d be a little worried and back off from drinking 🤷‍♂️

Cool cars. That building though looks as rough as some of the cars outside. Would like to see these vehicles finished.

Richard we would like an update of your new shop. Would like to see the progress

Keep on keepin on Richard.

I follow them on Instagram ... love them!

You should visit craved cars with mark he knows his mopars better than anyone

Greetings from Australia. I love these guy’s passion!

LOVE THIS SHOW!!! But don't need music playing constantly whilst they are taking about the cars guys 🤟

Exactly what I said...at what point is it not the same car when you've replaced every piece of metal but the firewall 😂😂😂

Hello bro i am.always watching your restoration videos please upload complete video start at you buy to till restoration complete

Little German towns all over the USA are wonderful nuggets of culture.

When Richard says steal, he's referring to the act of Strategically Transferring Equipment to Alternative Locations to the lowest bidder....Merica and Miller Lites for everyone

You made it to my town & I didnt even know until this video & YES we Germans do sell beer in Helen just depends on the time especially after lunch on Sunday because remember this is the bible belt! Would love for you to have enjoyed some of our good food as well! MOPAR OR NO CAR & GO DAWGS BACK 2 BACK CHAMPIONS ✌💖☮

Listed for $8500 was offered $10,000 didn’t take it but sold for $7,000 lol 😂😂😂

I have a 1967 Coronet 500. 383/727. Runs drives and is all there! Nicer car than that pile. Mine is $13,500

I’m curious to see what the Graveyard Cars guy would have to say about these cars.

Respect to the 5150 guys 👍👍👍

Dang, a smaller version of @Graveyardcars … sweet!!

great video you guys are lucky to live in a country where you can find these rare mopars in decent condition . i remember walking through scrap yards in the late 70's amazing how many mopars in great condition were in the scrap pile just because they got 8mpg nothing much else was wrong with them

Being from a predominantly Mopar family, I’m drooling over this video.

In CA, 5150 (also name of Van Halen album) is the law for involuntary 72 hour psychiatric hold - danger to yourself or others. I have known 3 people who drank beer constantly. In their 50s, their face got ugly, turned a funny yellow color and got puffy. Lots of physical problems, when your blood is not filtered, you get problems from head to toe. They died within a couple years. The first indication is when you don't want food any more, just have a beer instead. Maybe life is not worth living without constant beer. It is to me, but that's just me.

U are truly the goat of this u got me into buying and seeing cars here I is your flower 🌺

In Mopar world, there's no parts cars 🤣🤣 Sing it, brother 💪🏽

Visit Mark Worman at Graveyard Cars!

Ritual beer before the flight? This guy drinks a beer before he drinks a beer.

Buy them all Richard. I'll be down to work for you. We've been restoring mopars for twenty years. Wasn't a Mopar guy when I started. Am now

Come here, in Emilia Romagna, the motor valley, to find and restore some old cars!! It’s time for a trip!! Love ya ❤

I was excited for ya getting the car. It's getting so hard to find a Mopar for sale that's not insane money. I remember when they were $3,800 new!

These guys are garage angels I hope you guys continue to do what you guys are good at bringing the muscle cars back to 🧬 life😇🏆💪👍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 I'm loving this episode 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Richard or Dennis two complete different stiles of making a car deal these guys rule when it comes to a awesome purchase 👍👍👍

Good rescue boys!

The background music is absolutely annoying and really dumb.

Yes! But did not care much for their style. Had a 70 440 6 pack Cuda with factory vinyl top. In Dixie and on the Coast, but vinyl tops run from top down.

Nice collection of Mopars from 5150. Appreciate how they are saving these to give them new lives and back on the road again. Great stuff!

Richard you should buy every car that rolls, big money on the back end.

It’s wild how much they left behind when the lease expired. It was ok barnfind for a while. Someone bought all the leftover mopar frames bodies and trim
