Didn't realize how dusty my room was until I watched this video. Bravo and hats off to Graveyard Carz for making this dream come to true and especially to Wendall for keeping the dream alive despite what life threw at him.
This is one of my favorite videos , and the story is so heart breaking. The owner is a great guy and im so glad it all worked out in the in. There has never been a more deserving person for a GraveYard build.
Thank God no one got hurt in that explosion, but when you see what those guys at Graveyard Cars can do, it literally puts a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes.
This was truly a beautiful episode in every way. And if anyone deserves this beautiful car, it's Wendel. I hope he has many years of joy, sharing his sweet soul and this beautiful car with everyone. ❤
I just saw this car in person at Chryslers at Carlisle in Pennsylvania! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. I remembered watching this episode and seeing it in person was awesome and took a picture of it and the build board! ❤
Finally get to see this episode and thus incredibly significant piece of history come back to life. Well done again Mr. Worman, the mopar master does it again. And Mark, you were right. Wendell is the living embodiment of the human spirit, to never stop fighting.
The first time I watched the episodes with the phoenix cuda I immediately recognized Wendall from somewhere else and it took me a couple minutes to think about it and it was gold rush. He is the person who retrofitted Tony Beet's dredge with a modern electronic control system. I went back and watched the gold rush episode and it was Wendall Malmberg and his company HPF Manufacturing performing the retrofit on the dredge.
Wow .Been in the trade all my life. Never seen this before.A great team effort built for a deserving and humble man. God Bless and may you have many happy years in what is now once again a family heirloom.
WOW! I've watched the series on this disaster. Nothing but a true, adult fairy tale! You guys just gave You Tube surfers a Master Class in PAYING ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS! Super FANTASTIC WORK and what AN EXCELLENT STORY! I believe you guys have just cured Windell👍!
I know a guy in the next town that has has an all original Hemi Cuda 4-speed convertible that's been locked in a garage for the last 30 years. He has constantly gone to car shows and swap meets buying up original parts every since I've known him.
Amazing he lived thru the fire and more amazing what all he's been thru in his health. He deserves everything good happen to him. The cost of this must of been out of this world. My aunt had a orange 70 or 71 Cuda and that was the sharpest car I can remember seeing.
Such a great story. I would of loved to of seen him light the tires up just one time. Give a good drag strip spin..... I cannot imagine the cost of this restore. All I can say is its great he could afford this. And you gotta pray when he passes this car will stay in the Family for many years to come. To the Graveyard guys, your work is amazing.
Didn’t you hear will he said the price Wendell paid didn’t line up with the cost of it Mark lost money on it but he did it for all the right reasons to get this man his everything back his peace of mind
You guys are the best. I had a 69 Swinger with a 340 4 speed when I was 20 for my first car and I am now 68. I only wish I had that car today. There is no one that knows more than Mark!!
Wow!!!!!,. What a wonderful story, and wonderful crew!!!!, Seriously everyone!!!! Wow, You know what got me the most was when windell brought the car to the shop and opened the trailer door??, One of the crew said "" Unbelievable "" , and looked very concerned, & and then at the reveil remember the first word windell said??, ""Unbelievable "" , thank everyone involved it's story's like this that give outhers hope in ""Unbelievable "" sercumstances,
If this had been me, and this is just me mind you, I'd have left the decals in the box. That paint is gorgeous and while the decals are the original, imho they should never have been there. '70s kitsch, I suppose. Nice job guys!
Spectacular achievement by the metal work guys at GYC.. Congrats to Wendall for holding onto his hopes for the car. One of less than 50 , plus leather interior. Wicked Question - was it ever mentioned why they did the Shaker in Silver instead of Black on this 71 Cuda ? Thank you
Stage 4 melanoma you have to let skin cancer fester for years to get it to where it’s in your brain and lungs. A simple excision in a dermatologist office would have saved his life. My uncle ignored the skin cancer he had until his body was riddled. The doctor begged him a decade earlier to cut it out. I feel bad but that cancer was 1000 percent preventable.
Mark better pay this kid what he wants or he will open up his own shop. The 25 dollars an hour shit won’t fly. Justin is young and talented you don’t see that in kids his age. Mark pays him well he have him for the next 25 years
There was no 1970 Firebird or Camaro; 1970 1/2, which introduced the Ferrari inspired body. Oh, the 427 Cobra uses coil springs on all four wheels as does the Corvette. Torsion bars used on Cadillacs were for LUXURY cars, not sports cars. Talk about comparing apples and oranges….
A lot of crap said about Chevy and Pontiac . Glad Oldsmobile was left out from the shi# talking . I worked on Pontiac in a dealership and yeah they were a pain to work on way too much plastic . The 77 T/A was a killer.
I like the Chevy and Pontiac firebird better then the ugly Callander it is ugly piece of crap don't cut Chevy down Chevy has beaten the 426 Hemi mine did with a 396 big block

Clinical trial mediation. Not trying to be political. But Thank God Trump finally these medications to be approved for reasons like this. For this guy and all of us. 🙏
