Match Bash Ford for the modern era. Steve is selling his Funny Fairmont 

Your Fairmont could not have ended up in better hands. The SleeperDude has the skill set to both, finish the build, and then use the car as you intended. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I’m so sad to see you have to sell your things, but I’m just so glad that you made it through Steve! Things are just that, things, but we’re very lucky to still have you here bringing us your knowledge. 🙏🏼👍🏼✌🏼

don't be too proud to ask for financial help from us Steve and do NOT underestimate how much your fan base here appreciates you.

Why hasn't anyone started a GoFundMe page for this incredible guy!?!?!??!?

This should go to Barret Jackson, raise some decent cash to help with the bills.

Mr Magnante - we've all been thrilled to see you up and about. We're also saddened that you have to sell your things. Can you add a Thanks button here please? You've taught us a lot about cars, and the will to fight. Let us thank you with more than words ~ Chuck

So sad Steve has to sell everything to probably pay for the astronomical nursing home bill hopefully he can recover and rebound and get his life back

This Legend should not be separated from this car.

Man that breaks my heart. There is absolutely nothing worse than seeing a great man down.

This Car went to the absolute best guy to have it.

Wishing you well Steve. I'm happy to see SleeperDude was able to purchase this car. it couldn't have gone to a better person.

Very cool (Sleeper Dude)Josh and his family bought this car. It went to a good home. Subbed cuz of his channel. Cool car.

If we all sent 5 or 10 bucks each, it would put Steve back in the black, without him having to sell off everything. Of coarse I'd have to send more, you know, Canadian money & all!

I’m so happy that this car went to Sleeperdude. He and his family are the perfect people to be the caretakers of this awesome car

That library probably should be In a museum

God bless you sir! Steve Magnante - an automotive national treasure!

That car is worth all of the 27k you have into it and more!! The history and documentation is worth so much. No one could reproduce that car today for anything close to that number. Don't let it go cheap

Somebody buy it and let him KEEP it. I wish I could but I can't. HELP HIM!

I feel for ya, Steve. I'm a year clean of Cancer and still very limited to what I can do. It sucks, but I got a wonderful 2 year Granddaughter to keep me occupied. I just tinker with the cars when I'm in the mood or when son comes over to give me a hand doing what I can't do anymore. Love Ya, Brother and Prayers are still coming your way. Keep the Faith!!👍❤🙏

Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ I just watched sleeper dude pick up the car, it couldn't be going to a better home Steve. I know times are tough but keep your chin up and life will only get better. My thoughts and prayers are with you Steve ✌️🇺🇲

We are so blessed to have you here Steve!!! This is incredibly hard to see you inching around...but yet so thankful you can still walk around and fire up cars and enjoy everything. God Bless dude...and I hope you make a full recovery. ❤ You got this dude 💪😉🤘

"You Beautiful Bastard." Okay, well, I am just so happy to see you up and walking around. We are the same age, it always makes me smile to hear you talking about these old cars. Keep it up, you are moving a little better each day.

Hope you continue to improve. Sad state of the US when a health issue can ruin a person financially.

This car is so cool, that injection is a show stopper. Best of luck with the sale, I’m so sorry that you’re having to let it go. I’m so glad that you’re still with us, Steve. I hope things continue improving and you can get back to what you love before too long

May God lift you up and heal you. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. You have many friends praying for your full recovery.

Thank God Steve is back Praying every day for him He's the reason I love cars

I am thankful you survived the encephalitis, Steve. Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge with us. I pray that your situation will continue to improve.

Hang in there Steve. You're an inspiration to many more than you realize. The car hobby needs you 100%.

This Fairmont is now part of hot rodding lore history. That alone should increase it's value.

I posted a comment a few minutes ago about this being unacceptable and letting the community help out and it seems to have been deleted? This community needs a way to give back to Steve for all the years of knowledge.

Yes it’s so cool that sleeperdude came

I’m so glad you’re feeling better and back to work.

Sorry your health is still an issue, just glad you are still here.

My heart goes out to you Steve. I am so sorry for your struggles. Thank you for the great videos and sharing knowledge with your audience.

This guy is a walking museum that needs to be saved for posterity and our sanity. The only voice of reason in a truly mad and dangerous world

Freiburger needs this! So glad to see that even though you’re still on the mend physically, you still sound like your old self and are sharp as a tack. Hope your finances get squared away quickly for you!

So happy to have you back with us, but honestly gutted that you have to sell off everything because you got sick - that is a damn shame. I hope the Funny Fairmont fetches a pretty penny at auction!

Someone who sees this video and has the means needs to give Mr. Magnante the same amount that he has in the car for his Funny Fairmont.

BARRETT-JACKSON should pay for your house.

Steve, we miss your knowledge at the auctions and the wrecking yard insights on cars ! I hope you recover and get back in the game, you are missed !

Steve, please keep fighting - don't give up. You can make it back to the boneyards. I know what I speak of: I broke my neck in 1982 and was completely paralyzed for 6 weeks - then began to move my toes. 9 months later I walked out of the hospital under my own power. It was another 3 years until I was up on crutches permanently. I got back into automotive, became a Master L1 tech, built a few cars, roamed tons of junkyards here in New England, then into road construction traffic management equipment, and finally back to automotive - all on forearm crutches. We are very similar - same birth month and year, too. You can do this. Keep fighting.

You'll get better with time Steve. we are all pulling for you.

I’m just glad he’s walking around!

Love steve and his encyclopedic knowledge of hot rod history. Glad to see him getting better. This man is a treasure to the hot rod community.

Steve has a gofundme account set up now . Just a heads up to anyone that would like to help this man . Thank you !

Tough, reliable and awesome. I’m talking about Steve.

Recently found you through your junkyard show on MT; already a big fan. Sorry to hear about your illness but glad you're recovering brother! Love the Fairmont.

I hope you get twice what it’s worth. Glad you’re here among us after your adventure.

Everyone needs to Step Up and Help this Deserving Great Guy !!!

Good to see you moving. Get well Steve.

Good to see you Steve, We miss you. I'm a cancer survivor, so I can relate. God Bless you and I hope to see more of you in the future!

There ought to be enough of His friends in the business That the bills shouldnt be A problem. Plus the legion Of fans he has. Cmon folks Lets help this treasured Legend rise above his Worries.

I had bad Lyme encephalitis a while back, it's no joke, basically destroyed my body and mind. Glad to see you're making it through, it just takes time (yrs). Good luck with everything!

Steve. Material thing .come and go. Your still here ,that's all that matters. Welcome back

No your loss is our pain not gain. You will get through this I had a potentially fatal brain tumor in 2014 I wasn't supposed to survive the operation but I did. Medical bills were stacked on my dresser and I had to sell my home and what belongings I could to help with the unexpected financial challenge that accompanies such a substantial health event. Left Pennsylvania to go back home to Michigan to attempt my old job they called and I accepted needed to see if I could take care of myself after. Had my clothes and my GMC Envoy that was it, it all worked out took 5 years to get everything I lost or sacrificed back. It can be done I'm 1 year younger than you. Persevere Steve East Coast Americans are some of the mentally toughest people I have ever been around . there can be light at the end of that long tunnel .

Steve I've been following you forever and I'm so glad to see and hear from you again sending prayers to you for a speedy recovery 🙏

I'm speachless. Facing reality can be a showdown of wills and wants. I'm glad you're taking appropriate moves to handle your next life chapter. I know you'll be around because your mind is still sharp and your speach is getting better every day. I also feel confident Barrett Jackson has an open door for you when your ready. Cheers mate. 🇨🇦

Steve is back!

Steve, you could sell your car at Barrett Jackson. It’s an amazing car and you are a legend. It would bring big money at an event like that.

Hang in there Steve ! This world is a better place with you in it ! We are thankful you made it through.

Man this breaks my heart. Good luck Steve.

I would think Barrett-Jackson would pick it up and sell it for top dollar. If anything, as a courtesy.

I agree with all your friends, I am sad that you have to sell off all your cool stuff. If I had $27,000 I would surely hook you up. You've done so much for so many over the years.

Sorry to see you’re selling your things. Your research library is a treasure that should be saved.

God bless you Steve. Material items are a part of what makes life interesting, but life is special. Thank the Lord you are still with us.

I remember the magazine build. Literally my favorite Fairmont in existence.

I still have my copy of Hot Rod Magazine when I was in school about Mash Bash. Librarian wouldn’t let me make a copy of it, and had to wait a month before I got the old copy. 3- years later, my a body is still in the pasture

Yeah steve.... please add a thanks button... we would be more than happy to support you...

Glad to see you getting better Steve but hate to see you selling off your stuff

Hope you get well soon Steve!

This should have been at Barrett Jackson to raise money for you Steve . I’m only 45 , but you were the encyclopedia I always loved learning from . Hope things clear up and you get your drive back 🙌😎.

Great seeing you Sunday. Take it easy.

Steve you got this recovery. Hit PT like a mad man, the world needs you. Love ya brother!

The dashboard crack proves it was an untouched original Fairmont.

Gotta love this guy, he knows a lot stuff

I am truly glad to see you recovering. You had us all scared for you. Godspeed sir!

Steve, all of us would rather you keep your stuff. Let us pay you for all that knowledge you've been handing out. The least we could do brother

Bless you Steve. I hope that as your health continues to improve that you will also be blessed with fortunes to ease your financial burden.

Sweet car. Crap , I didn't get sick but I am Steve's age and paying for my second wife still. I know the feeling lost everything twice in life but it was great starting over and getting a new life's start. Got rid of a 66 pontiac ragtop, and a two door hard top comet, also a sixty six. Plus a business and lots of tools and a house and life's sweat equity. Steve's a man, not a boy. I'm getting back on the horse right now and getting ready to ride it for another 8. Wish I had the cash, loved that car the day I saw it. Don't pity Steve. He's going to make his mama proud.

You have more friends than you know Steve. Hope you get what you deserve for your things.

Steve, do you have a go fund me? We dont want you to have to get rid of your treasures due to the medical bills. Alot of us dont have a ton to spend, but given your subscriber amount, im sure alot of us can get together to help however we can. We appreciate all you have done and all of your knowledge youve shared for years!

God bless ya Steve, you’ve helped keep me in cars when I was down , stay positive good sir. We still need your wisdom and love for cars here on earth , you and everyone at motor trend has kept me alive an help keep me positive at my times of doubt. I’ve sold things that I wished I never did. But that’s the way it goes sometimes thank you Steve!

If I had the funds I'd buy it and give it right back to him. I've seen people mention a go fund. I think that's a great idea.

I'll give my Ten Bucks, and if just half of the rest of you would give Steve 10$ as a "thank you" for all the years of great information, facts and fun with vintage vehicles, then Steve wouldn't have to sell this prized car, and he can keep his belongings instead of having to auction them off in order to sustain himself and pay off what I can only imagine to be staggering Medical Bills. This guy deserves it! Let's all band together and help take some financial stress of our Buddy Steve's shoulders. It's incredible to see what a community of like minded individuals can accomplish if they commit to a project. Let's get behind Steve and make this happen people!

If I was in any position to do it, I would buy this car and then hand it right back to Steve. Hard to imagine anyone else owning it.

I'm praying for you Steve to get better soon. I love your videos on old cars & trucks. F. Caruso

Hats off to you Steve. We're all so in awe of you. Keep on getting better.

This guy has been so awesome to watch for years. So just a thought could Barrett Jackson put it up and those who can help make sure he gets more then just in the teens for it.

Hang in there Steve I’m glad you Survived..very sorry to hear of you selling everything you own.. Prayers ❤

I wish you the all best. I hope you make a full recovery

I checked into starting a gofundme for Steve. I need his ok, etc. The fact Steve is doing ok now is just so great. I really like Steve's take on all things cars. I wish we could help him but perhaps having that car is just too much to maintain. Sometimes the expense and labor to maintain these vehicles is too expensive. He has to determine this. No one else can do that. I have a channel Steve. Contact me if you want to get this thing going.

Add $Thanks to your RU-vid Steve so we can show you how awesome the car community is and will help you get through this journey you are not alone buddy!

In my mind , these things are priceless. Somebody is going to end up with a national treasure. Motortrend would do well to give you a show on a silver platter. I would pay for cable to watch it! Not really. I would watch it on RU-vid after it aired. Looking good Steve. Life is rehab . Pain everyday. I mean train. Lol

I love the wheels! My dad had an original set on his mid 60s 1929 Ford Panel Model A hot rod! Very cool.

Positive vibes your way, Steve! I hope your treasures find good homes.

Steve is # 1 !!!!!

Damn, this is hard to watch. I hope you get what you need for this car, or even better, you find a way to get what you need without having to sell everything. Stay strong Steve, we're right here with you buddy.

Steve, I'm sorry you have to sell your cars and house. I'm so glad you made it through your ordeal. I just think its a crime that they can save your life and ruin it at the same time. You're a good man and you have my thoughts and prayers

Nothing i can say that others haven't already said, just glad you're still with us !

God bless you Steve
