The Curious Case Of The Secret Super Stock Mopar 

I got a feeling that car will not see the inside of a shop. Old man don't have enough time to get it done now.

“No I won’t sell it I’m gonna fix it up” never touches it for years and will never touch it as it rots till it’s gone

I watch Hagerty's 'Barn Find Hunter' all the time... Infuriates me to no end when they encounter people who would rather watch a classic rot into the ground, than be saved by a passionate gearhead that's putting money into their pocket.

Another dreamer who will never ever ever do anything with that car. In 18 months nothing will have changed. These are the same guys who complain that young people have no interest in old cars whilst hoarding loads of cool stuff till it’s too rotten to be saved.

"Let's see the crown jewel of his collection" **Walks into the woods**

we all know that mystery friend will never start or finish anything with them cars, as an old man my self i know it wont happen.

I'll bet my entire savings , that car never moves an inch.

None of this stuff is going back in a car by that guy.

Rotisserie? It would be good just to see it washed, removed from that hole, and with 4 tires that hold air.

This old guy is delusional , this stuff has owned him for many years. It will be sold off at the Estate sale when he passes.

"look at these extremely rare exhaust pipes that i've had sitting in my back yard for almost 60 years that have nearly turned into dust by my neglect, bet you wish you had these"

This is the "Jewel of his collection?" How does he treat the cars that don't mean much to him?

uncle tony...please get that car out of those woods...we are all begging you...do something...please!!!

It tells you Everything you need to know when this Genius says he drove it to that spot. DROVE this Wicked ride to this spot in the woods ( Instead of inside the shop ), parked it, and said F@#* it. Brains for breakfast...

Car for sale? Nope, gonna restore it one day. Been saving up parts for 60 years. Then got senile and forgot where I put them.

Poor car...that guy is never gonna get to it.probley been saying hes gonna fix it for 30 years

It's so cool to see and hear about these forgotten treasures. Sad to realize when this generation of gearheads is gone, so will be these parts and most of this knowledge. Keep hope alive Uncle Tony.

I'll send him a whisk broom and a dust pan for when he's ready to move it, he will never do anything with the car, it'll rust into the ground.

When I was a teenager (early 90s) , I stopped by this dude's house to ask about a car in his front yard. Amongst a bunch of other stuff, was a B-5 Blue, stripe delete 69 Super Bee. The last inspection sticker on it was 1980. He said he was going to fix it up for his wife. I drove by the place last week and in the middle of what must be 20 times more junk, I can just see the roof of that same Super Bee sitting in that same spot. Like Tony, I've learned to keep a straight face when listening to the delusional stories.

Old man and a bunch of rusty parts that they are always getting ready to start putting back together. That car will end up crushed almost guaranteed, the parts will get used somewhere and nobody will ever use those rusty exhaust pipes 😆, he actually said when he gets it done they'll have to weld in another crossover 😆. This old coot lost his marbles!!!

Don't tell him what it's worth if it's been magically restored ! Tell him it's worth as much as the mud it's sinking into !

That car will never get on the road again so long as this guy owns it. Theres a thousand guys like this who think they'll get all their projects up and going. Cool to see though.

For the love of the Mopar Gods, restore that gem or sell it to someone that will!! Geez, its rotting away!!!

Damn sickening seeing this video, I'm a big block dude and I'm a old nostalgia drag racing fan even if I'm not even 40 yet . It just bothers the piss out of me seeing this scenario over and over and over some old dude just can't let go and what happens is the car I'll sit there and rot until he's gone and by then the car will probably be gone as well

Nice find. Doubt it’ll be restored by him, gonna just sitting there getting worse and make restoration more difficult. It should be indoors until someone takes the restoration over

Save it Uncle Tony! That one that needs to be saved..

That adjustable timing cam gear is really cool. Trick piece!

That was cool. Undisclosed cool. 3:51 a.m. in California. I really lucked out with this episode of Uncle Tony's Garage. Early morning or late night entertainment Uncle Tony's got you covered. Thanks

That max wedge stuff is so cool, and I'm a Chevy guy.

Tony, I stumbled upon your channel by accident one day and it has quickly become one of my favorites. Your knowledge and natural ability to explain thing has been very valuable. It is very reminiscent of 5he early days of Wheeler Dealer when they focused on fixing, not selling. It would be nice to see this one day on TV. If that happens, don’t change please. God Bless. John

I appreciate you going out and shaking the older trees before they're gone! There is so much old school history in Mopar... It's great to see good ol boys sharing the experience with all of us on RU-vid... Thank you's

Not gonna mention that Austin Healy just rotting into the earth? Man that’s sad too see!

“I’m jealous” “I hope you are” That’s the problem with these hoarders, they buy up all the stuff just for status. I know a guy whose got god all everything around here, and I’m talking a whole garage of OEM big blocks in 40 year old crates with no intention of use, not to mention a few legit Thunderbolts rotting away. Mans sick in the head.

I’ve seen a restored Max Wedge car but never a random one sitting in a field, that’s pretty damn cool. 👍🏻

A friend of mine had a 72 charger with a 440 max wedge. Didn't know much about the car, he wanted me to rewire the thing with a painless wiring harness, I wired it up, got it running, knew it was a bear of a motor, not much else, you have given me a whole new respect for the history behind these beasts.

5am In NYC, Phone dings new video from UTG!.. Gotta get up!

Thanks for the history lesson. I remember seeing these in the magazines back in the day and I enjoyed finding out about the unique features of them like the hood and wiring. As far as if it will be restored,I hope he does but it's his to do what he wants with it. I appreciate that he shared with us.

Always learning something new. That’s what I like about Tony’s channel. To be as knowledgeable as Tony and willing to share information this deep is rare. True Mopar guru stuff here, but interesting to all gearheads.

Uncle Tony. you have created a really special thing here with these videos. the connection between the viewer and the creation is really strong. great work.

That's one of those, "I'm going to restore it someday cars", a.k.a, it might be for sell at my estate sale cars.

He will never get it done! How long has he had and hasn’t Touched it? Just a dreamer!

It saddens me to say but we all know that unfortunately that car will never move from that spot😥

In 18 months the only difference will be the amount of rust and the height of the detritus.

OH MAN! What a treat. Thanks Uncle Tony for sharing that with us! That went well with my morning coffee. And just think, there's guys all over the country sitting on hidden gems like that. Awesome video. You never let me down!👌👍👍

Thank you Tony, that was like a visit to King Tut's Tomb, a treasure trove with one amazing discovery after another. That car is exactly what I look for when I'm out exploring. Finds like this are few and far between so it is real thrill when you do run into the real thing.I appreciate that you shared this.

10:50 Ol' boy's prices are skyhigh. Walk away before the budget disappears, Uncle Tony.

I love that little peek into your inner monologue; "What the fuck is that? I'm the guru, I should know. It doesn't go with this car." I almost pissed myself. 🤣😂🤣

Thanks Boss for Keeping History alive, Stories and tells of the Past, Mopar Everyday and Everywhere.. Oi oi oi Uncle Tony and Auntie Kathy.. talk at You later today..

thanks uncle tony for sharing this with us and i hope to see more from the mystery friend. this was so cool and he had so much cool stuff and knowledge. please keep us updated you’re the best.

Hard to believe stuff like this gets left in the woods.... I figured UT was going to somehow end up with it as a RU-vid project....

I'm confused, if it's the jewel of his collection, why is it out back sitting in the dirt?

Great as always Uncle Tony. Thanks for keeping on with the video's in these dreaded times. It's what's needed for a sense of normality 😘

One of my dad's high school friends had a brother who was a Chrysler engineer and he got him a set of the Max Wedge manifolds which he put on his 383. They used them one time to warm up some sandwiches when they went on a picnic.

He ain’t gonna fix anything. Old dudes just sit on stuff and let it rot.

8pm sunday night in Australia. Lock down starts at midnight. Uncle Tony to the rescue.

Typical old mopar dude and will probably never do anything with what he has. I think these kinda people just like to own a bunch of old stuff just to talk about it

Sadly my dad is becoming like him. He has 67 Barracuda sitting in his Garage taken apart and has been sitting there for over 35 years And still uses the same excuse of why he hasn’t done anything

That should have been indoors from the day he bought it, what a shame

"I've been gathering parts since the '60s" 16:42. Unfortunately this will most likely never get restored. It's his car and he can do what he wants with it. But looking at all the other carcasses in his woods, this will become another lost piece of automotive history.

I had a set of Max wedge heads and intake, bought them from a dealership in Philly in the mid 60s. They were takeoffs from a new car they swapped to heads with a heat crossover and single 4 bbl. Swapped the heads for a Hemi and sold the intake. They'd be worth a lot more now.

He lost the block that came with the car, it must be buried in the field somewhere. To bad this mystery guy will be dead and buried before all these projects get done.

It would be cool if you could help that guy get that car in his building .that car belongs with him.he earned it by scrounging all the parts for years.i think he would enjoy it more if he started working on it.... really cool car

Wow what a gem and full of history , thanks for sharing Uncle . That car deserves to be saved . Cheers

This car must have the car Nobel prize! Let her run again! I had my first Mopar in 1974, it was a Dodge Dart -65 V8! Now im 65 my self and its time to have a Mopar again!

In my home town, I remember being around 11/12 years old while me and my best friend(who's family is the reason im a mopar fan) were riding our bikes down a back alley Low and behold, in a backyard sat a 1969 charger 383/4 speed triple black and a 71 charger. We tried many many times over the years to buy the cars but the old man refused saying he'd restore them one day. Im 45. They are still in the same spot today. The cars have sunk into the ground so bad that theyre sunk past the rockers. There is absolutely nothing left of the undercarriage Nothing. They are imo passed saving. I have a few old mopars i plan on restoring but i keep them in running and movable order. Sad to see that 63 dying

IIRC, Ed Hamburger, Bricktown NJ, comes to mind on that cam drive...I may have a catalog still....

That's sooo cool! Today I was actually driving my 1963 Dodge 330 when I saw this pop-up on my notifications. Pretty frikin awesome!

tonys face when the guy said he lost the max wedge... you could tell that hurt

Uncle Tony, how did you ever manage to keep your voice and hands from shaking around all that ancient MoPar goodness?

"It Ain't Fer Sale-I'ma-gonna-fixit!!"

Well we are supposed to be distance learning during this virus thing. I JUST LEARNED A TON! Thanks UTG! The amount of things that were done by the factory during those times to be #1 at the track is fascinating! I can't even imagine what the cash value of the package of parts he has assembled is worth!

Thanks! for taking us with you Uncle Tony.These places are getting fewer and farther in between....

Those cars had the best cast iron manifolds ever

Is this a case of I'm going fix up one day?

I was driving down the highway just cruising along looked over sitting in a yard under a big oak tree was a 65 Dodge Coronet. I couldn't get stopped fast enough so I turned around went back for a closer look. Looked from the road at it for a bit, around these parts way out in the country I've learned not to take it upon myself to get to close, some folks get really upset when you ask about their old cars. I built up my courage and knocked on the door. A teenager came to the door so I ask him, is that car for sale, he said yeah its my dads I said is he home? He said naw he won't be home for a while but it's for sale. I said do ya mind if I look at it. He said sure go ahead. It had flat slicks on the back of it. I pulled the pins and opened the hood, cross ram with two four barrels & 426 Super Stock on the valve covers. The kid said i think he wants $500 for it. I said ok I'll wait in my truck till he gets here. So I went to the truck waited for a while and my wife started bitching about she don't feel like waiting... nag, nag, nag. So I ended up taking her home and went straight back to that house. Someone else bought the car by the time I got back to that location. Now she's my exwife.

Well if he doesn't restore or get it road worthy it just proves these cars are still out there.

He's just like so many old farts on Pickers. They all love to tell stories and always say they'll restore them someday! Jackasses.

that car will be there until its a pile of dirt

Now that is treasure worth saving. Real cool to see, thanks for the tour.

Great video UT!!! I’ve been lucky enough to meet Mr. Norm super nice guy. It’s amazing what they were doing during that time in the early 60’s I worked with an old man that owns a max wedge. He said it ran 11’s in 1963 and he daily the car back in the day.

Variable timing cam gears aren't that old, 'cause that would mean I'm old. Inconceivable. 🤣

Uncle Tony and Aunt Kathy: make him an offer. As Julia Child used to say “SAVE THE LIVER”!

Jewel of his collection with an open carb. Suuure.

My grandfather was an engine guy who would actually get shit like this done. After he retired he decided to build an engine in his garage, bought and built everything within a few months and had it running before he passed. From scratch to finished in under a year, just to hear the sound of his old race engine again.

Please save them or donate to a young bloke like me who will restore love and drive it and pass it on when the time is right haha awsome car Tony

That old Dodge will be a heap of rust some day trees growing all around it . Guys like him collect shit that people would really want and THAT is what turns them on. "Oh Ima gonna git to it one of these days I don't want to sell it " . Good video about it though Tony .

Super cool video, UT. History lessons like that are priceless.

Great video, great car, cool stuff, and loved the history lesson. That cam/timing gear piece is very trick as is the Oil pickup. I really enjoy learning about old racing parts/cars. Keep up the great work.

Uncle Tony, would you please find a guy like you on youtube for use GM guys!

UT~" Incredible "! "Cheers"!!

I know how it is to have lots of big projects! Best of luck to this guy getting it fixed up and put back together!

My dad would be shitting his pants right now. This is the kind of cars he loved to build. He always wanted something different. Maybe that's why I want to build a 63 A body wagon with a 354 or 331 Hemi. No one on the block has one of those. I love your channel and wish my dad was still alive to see it. He was a dingsman at the Chrysler plant in Belvidere Illinois. He was a first hire when the plant opened in 65. He fixed what broke on the line. I still have some of the tools he made to fix the cars. I use his plastic hammer to cast bullets. Not what it was intended to be used for but I'm using it. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

MAX WEDGE between trees growing around it...junk now.

I’d love to see something done with that car, but realistically I don’t see anything happening. You never know though 🤞

What a find!!!! My brother had an intake carbs heads valve covers for a Max Wedge in the mid 80s he sold them to some one for a tunnel ram and two carbs for a 440!

love the early 60's Factory Experimental, with the wedge engines, thank you for showing one, I would love to see more. Have a 64 Dodge 440, push-button with a 318 poli Sphear engine, always wanted to do it up like an FX car.

The bottom line is it’s his car and he’s free to do whatever he wants with it.

stuck in the mud, rotting away

Thanks uncle tony for showing us that . Love the dodge 300 . And a genuine max wedge thats drag racing royalty

OG Chicago car ❤️👌🏼.. shame it will probably never see the street again.
