The Old Man and Jeff should start their own podcast. Jeff can teach wiring tips and the Old Man teach carburetor (fuel injection 😂) tips. Then they both can teach everyone how to come up with an index time for bracket racing. We just need to come up with a name for the podcast.
Those old stickers and patches are awesome. Thank God for Baby Boomer Hoarders!! These guys and the Generation before them lived thru so many changes and periods of time. From Horse and Buggies to Hellcats. They're a wealth of knowledge and I would implore all millennial and younger to seek them out and sit down and listen to the stories. Preserve the knowledge. Cause when our Elders are gone they'll be a great loss of Knowledge.
I could easily sit and talk, mostly listen to the elders in our families and even meeting when out..when I first met my wife's grandfather 30+ years ago everyone i had talked about he knew them, there family and I will always remember visiting him in the hospital before he passed away, he always brightened up because firstly he gets to see his daughter (granddaughter but calls her his daughter) and second because he knew i smoked and we'd bring him out for a walk and a smoke...RIP JOHN , MEET YOU AGAIN FOR A CHAT LATER ON....MISS YOU JOHN BOY...
Will be the opposite. When Boomers and Gen X start to die off, there won't be much demand for the stuff. Prices will fall off a cliff... just like they did with Model T, Model A and even 1930's cars when their collector base started to die off.
So cool to see 3generations of motorsports enthusiasts all get together and go through a time capsule that that gentleman opened up for all of us to see
So much respect for the old heads. they're a wealth of knowledge, and you can really tell that they are true carriers of the previous generations. We can only hope that we have the privilege of passing it on to the next generation. This was a banger for sure!
Tommy and Alison yall have been doing such a great job across all the channels and as a multi year viewer it has been a privilege to get to watch the growth of not only the channels and the content but the editing as well as the growth of yall as individuals and as a family so thank yall for everything yall do for us
I’ve met Mike “Squeak” Fowler several times. He wrenched a lot for Danny Smith. Bruce Meihls knew his way around a hemi. He built the hemi in my uncle’s 70 ‘Cuda.
My uncle worked at Buckeye Steel in the 60’s and fell in love with the hemis. He moved back home to WV and 25 years later bought a 70 Cuda and named it the Hemi Shaker. We faithfully attended the Mopar Southern Classic at Clay City, KY. That’s where I met Squeak, Bob Marshall, Bob Reed and a bunch of other Mopar enthusiasts.
Man Jeff made out with all those cool stickers and paperwork! Great video guys. Love the old Mopar stuff as well as old Chevy's. That Duster would be really neat to bring back to life and run it around town!
Dude, Jeff is sooo lucky! Getting that sweet Duster is awesome 👍. I know that all this Mopar history is going to a good home. Anyway, thanks for the video 📸.
Awesome video !! Jeff was a kid in a candy store !!! It's always a riot when Tommy and Jeff work on something together !!! Keep up the videos and everyone lets help Tommy and Alison GROW this channel.I will say it's sad to see that the old guy can't race anymore !

My dad had 2 72 340 Dusters back in the 80s. One he restored fully and was an orange car with black 340 stripes, black interior with bench seat automatic that burnt in a fire in the late 80s, the other was a factory 4 speed car he sold in the 80s sometime. I don't know if the one that was in a fire ever survived. I don't have vin numbers but there aren't a lot of 340 72 dusters in central Ohio or around Ohio. My dad also used to own a 68 RoadRunner, it's green. His best friend bought it from him many years ago before I was born in 90 and he still has it. And I'm sure you guys have seen it run at pacemakers before. It's a wicked car. I'm a GM guy but I love a 68 RoadRunner, 72 Duster and Demon and a 70 Challenger T/A 340 Six Pack.
Awesome episode! Looking forward to what Jeff decides to do with the Duster. Cool car! Raced against them back in my high school days. Early 70's Chrysler 340 engines were no joke.
👍 Absolutely YES! Good rescue. I like those cars and yes they do remind me of the 68-72 Nova's. Shortly after HS my friend & I had a friendly rivalry between his Duster mildly built 318 against my 70 Nova mild built 307. Poor lil 307 spanked him.
Sweet license plates. I'm still looking for a Bourbon County Kentucky Plate from 1982. Its the year I was born. And the plate has Kentucky at the top and Bourbon at the bottom. Kentucky Bourbon 😎
Howdy Jeff, good to see you again brother and the stickers just a great honey hole find, The car isn't bad either LOL. Thanks A nd T for the Videos. Oh and this is why the square body hoods always bent in half because people never maintained the hinges. Once you lube them it works like butter. So lube those square body hinges people with some good silicone lube or even light oil will work also.
