Rollin' With Grandpa Cobra Jet 

Outstandingly good comment😁

YER Great Grandpa......

Shit I wish I could talk to the dude in passing 😆

@@kentleytaggart5816 yes

You bet

No matter what brand you like the most, you still have to appreciate the other brands that competed. Without competition these cars would never have become so cool. That's just the way I look at it

Just like he said at the beginning, you can’t go anywhere without competition.

I totally agree! I’m a die hard Chevy guy too, but when you see this type of video with such a rich deep knowledge base, vintage Fords, and the man who lived it all? It doesn’t any better than that!

billyfromtheusa Is that a big window 56?

billyfromtheusa My buddy sold his for $10,000.00. That was sheet metal and rolling chassis. However, the body was minted out, painted, and ready for reassemble. Those big windows are rare, and hard to find. I’m redoing a 59 Apache, and I wish it was a big window, but I am VERY happy to have what I do have. This truck has been in my family for over 50 years, and well, it is being restored to street rod condition with a few newer and nicer upgrades

It has to be passed down

Yeah, in a way i guess, BUT you gotta live in YOUR time...

@Dave M Truer words have never been spoken! 😉😉😉

Exactly, we gotta beg these guys to learn some of these older guys to learn some of these smart young guys I see on here even half their smarts, or it'll be gone then that's it

That's why I'm glad to see videos like this.. passing on knowledge and history of true Iron..

Come to Seveirville, I can't remember if I took a photo of it or not.

Knowledge can be passed down to the ones that wanna learn but the cars that are out there for the new generation are very far and few anymore times gone when you could find a build able pre 72 anything.

They're definitely not getting any more plentiful, that's for sure....

I had two hour long shop classes with Steve my junior & senior years in high school. That's 10 hours a week from Sept through May for two years listening and learning from Steve.

That's a fact!

This fella is a God when it comes to owning the dream cars of the Ford world. Absolutely

Imagine having the opportunity to buy one of his collection cars. I see these going to a. Museum. Millions of dollars here

@@johnpossum556 it's only 2:17 here in the land of stupids.. California.. so yeah I'm up.. I'm also used to working at a bar.. hahaha 3,4am no worries.. your up, where you at Possum?

@@johnpossum556 No worries ever Brother.. I've had my run for sure.. We are UTG Family... I will apologize to you, never meant to offend you.. I get by with A Adopted family of Brothers and sisters, My Music and Writing.. lastly my Car.. I'm going to start listing more playlist on my channel soon, sort of a wide range.. to me at least hahaha.. I'm not young, 47 now, grew up with Punk scene here, so most of my music is aggressive, but not to me, helps me think, and I'll leave with this, I have suffered with clinical Manic Depression for 20 plus years.. Peace Brother..

@@deanstevenson6527 Thank you and be well..

Yeah the Thunderbolt is a cool car so is the 1970 Mercury spoiler 2 with the Boss 429 here is another video with Steve and his cars ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UdVY2XrTEIo.html

I took that a couple different ways. I can picture him taking the Ranchero into town and an individual in a Honda Civic wanting to race stop light to stop light. 😅

Me too, I had reason to be at the turnaround intersection of the small village in August. Rode right past his farm never realizing how close to Ford automotive/racing history I was. Amazing. Thank you both for doing this.

Yes he is and so would I!

Yeah, me too - but what age is he exactly?

I would love to hear him open up over 3000 rpms.that car wants to run,and I bet it can.

yup ,,the grin when he mentioned the cam grind ,,,priceless lol

When he smiles he's 18 again . awesome !

That don't matter Sir true car enthusiast don't care about make and we all have the love for the machine in our blood! And your comment shows you have love for the machine 👍😁

They all pushed the envelope to one up each other.

The "Right Stuff"?

Haha!!!!

You have the 429 scj heads?

@@troyhagseth8912 no sir, i was repeating the guy in the video. He has 4 sets

I like how when they started looking at the large port heads there was an echo. That's how big the ports were.

I’ve got a set of the 429CJ’s and an intake. Those heads aren’t as plentiful at the base 429 thunder jet. But not rare. I’d like to see the build numbers for the 429CJ 429SCJ AND 429PI engine’s

Who doesn't love a 3/4miss cam!! :-)

His cars are literally in museums lol Think it’s safe to say he is! I agree that more ppl should get to hear these kind of stories man it’s epic stuff and he’s so humbled and nonchalant lol that’s not “being humble” he for real looks at that stuff the way she look at our drag cars now he simply stood the test of time and was in position to take advantage. Has one of the if not THE rarest 9in INTHE WORLD and he just happened to take it off a pallet headed for scrap lmao u can’t make this stuff up man it’s EPIC but with so many who fall to divorces or substance abuse or just bad investments but so much of these old treasures were sold off decades ago. But he was in the position to make a successful life in the car world but post racing and made it work so he still has EVERYTHING! Man just in that garage where all the magazine articles were just in memorabilia, spare parts, tools, and whatnot he could make MILLIONS at the right auction without even touching the cars and the thought isn’t anywhere in his mind. This guy is def on my list of coolest dudes EVER and I was today years old when I learned he and I are walking the earth AT THE SAME TIME. Insane

It is THE NATIONAL ANTHEM of the NATION OF HORSEPOWER. Especially anything from Holman Moody. Music!

But what a sweet sounding idle it is...

MsKatjie - In person you feel it just as much as you hear it. A beautiful thing!

Hopefully someday you can experience it in person

Not me

I grew up working on Pontiacs. But that was to cool 😎. His videos go by so fast.

I’m so happy you said that he must have interrupted him 5 times. I would have loved to hear what he had to say.

Yeah his mama didn't slap his disrespectful face. I was raised to be polite and defer to a man that age. Probably missed out on some stuff. I will say he may have been nervous and excited, but?????
