The Story of my FIRST CAR: A Blown 1964 Corvette 

The look on your girls face when your grabbing gears is priceless ! Great story man

Loved her eyes when you nailed it. How great!!~! Ron

Cool car. Even cooler story. Love the expression on your daughter’s face when you nailed it!

As one car guy to another, that is one of the best video's I have seen. Thanks for sharing these moments.

Great story the big smile on your daughter's face was priceless keep the story's coming

My sons little girl tells him to pick her up from school in the red car. She loves that Corvette. The other day he said they are saying its going to rain may not drive it she said you pick me up in the red car. Hope he keeps it for her. Stay safe and God bless.

Your little girls face after 17:18, great stuff.

awesome story. when my daughter was just old enough to talk we put her in my mach 1 mustang and my Wife my daughter and I all went out in the mach 1. well it started raining while we were in the coffee shop. me making the best of it decided that a burn out in the rain would be a good idea. so when we got out of the shop I said to my wife "see that stop sign at the end of the block I am going to spin the tires till there" once we got to the stop sign after that burn out. from the back seat comes a giggle and my daughter says "do it again"!

What you are describing is called heart. Which as you well know, shall always remain, truly priceless.

That's fricken awesome, you and your daughter grabbing gears. Best video on Utube. Hands down.

great story brought a tear to my eye thinking about my dad

love your car man my dad just finished my 67 chevy 2 its a big tire car i will be racing it this year at my local track in ringgold georgia i'm just 17 and i love ol cars

Thanks for sharing your story. Cars are a "Family Affair" and your memories of your father just is great. I just wished I had done the same. Great video. And yes the the look on your Daughters face when you are going through the gears is priceless.

Best video I have seen on youtube, Thank you for sharing.

The rumble of a v8 is a great pacifier, the look on your little girl’s face is priceless. Awesome story buddy🙏🏼🙏🏼

One of the best car stories i ever watched,raise that little girl like your dad raised you,The memories the 2 of you will have will be priceless.Awesome Vette Buddy,give it to her when the time comes.keep in the family.

dude that was awesome!! I did the same thing with my daughter. got her involved early and showed her how cool old cars are. I had to sell my 31 model a but I still have an old 76 k20 chevy camper special. she had the same look as your daughter when I would romp on it sometimes. she's a little older now and that " look" has turned to laughter. I tell her all the time its better to drive something old than something new. I have a samurai im building for her for school. and maybe after she graduates I can get to putting that LS motor in my short bed s10 ive been saving for when I get old. im only 61, but being disabled has really slowed my roll. but thank you for the video { and the others} it brought back some fond memories of my duster I had in high school, and those I create with my daughter! your time and effort are much appreciated.

Its not so much about the car. Its about you and your dad having a bonding moment. And sharing a life long passion!

This is no doubt one of the coolest videos ever. I love learning the history of an old hot rod.

that style of a Corvette is so my dream car

Thank you for posting this video. I envy you. When I showed my dad my first hot rod Chevy he berated me for it running so rough. I had high compression with a hot cam and it idled at 1200 rpm. He liked smoother is better on his cars and couldn't comprehend why you would ever boil the tires. The concept of heating your tires for a better launch was lost on him. Different strokes for different folks. Raising parents is hard to do. PS: Your daughter is precious. You are truly blessed. You have a new subscriber.

I loved your story. My Dad asked me if I wanted his car, a 1964 Chrysler New Yorker Wagon. I said “Yes”. I promised him before he passed away I would restore in honor of him and Mom. Mom loved driving the big wagon. It brought her happiness and joy. I have spent 7 years searching and finding sources to restore its glory. Its a show car and I drive it to as many car shows as I can to share and bring the same joy to others it brought my parents. Hearing their stories of their parents driving them in a station wagon like mine has made it all worthwhile.

These are some epic stories!!! Love this channel!!

Love you man, please don't ever change.

Awwwww' man. Great video !! So glad pawpaw is still around to enjoy that pretty, little lady of yours. God bless you, and yours, man ...

These car rides with dad are the memories she will never forget...

I watch many of these junk yard mechanic/ back yard car shows and I have absolutely Love yours because of your Baby. You are raising her right and I am now going back through your older pieces to watch her growth. What a great little helper who is gaining a respect for older cars. I am betting she is going to be handing Dad wrenches until she starts using them herself.

in todays world to have these memories with your father is a very special thing... youre a lucky man

Man, such a similar story. I'm in west Tn. My dad gave me a BB Chevelle when I was 16. I watched it transform from a small block bench seat car to a BB hotrod. My daughter who is now 5 grew up in it and went through the same "too loud" phase. We aren't rich folk either...so the car is truly a sentimental piece. With the energy my dad put in it all the way down to hand polishing the crank, he will always live and breath through this car.

Love this video,,,Iknow where you are comin from. I have a 84' Vettete that is in great shape like yours. I'll pass it to my 23 yr old Son soon.

i LOVE that you recognize how special your story is, how special the car is and that you cherish the memories of you and your dad as a kid. i also love that you are making the same memories with your girl. i have to admit. i laughed my ass off when you gunned through the gears. the look on her face was priceless. she knew that she could trust daddy and that it was a fun experience. that's what family and these cars are all about.

Love how you are are letting your daughter help you out.

This has got to be my favorite video of all your stories. It warms my heart knowing you're going to show her friends and tell her story. Cracks me up how kids express how they feel so freely. ......Thanks Dad.....

Got a little choked up at you sharing the car with your daughter. Made me remember how my dad did the same for me. Can’t wait to have a family of my own to do the same to and pass along the feeling to the next generation.

Put a blower back on it. It looks so much better and is so much cooler.

I love how through the years. your daughter got more comfortable with you pushing the pedal to the metal. You two are building some of the best memories of yours and hers life. Great job.

Some will never understand how special passing on something you love to your kids truly is. Great video on the history.

This is absolutely one of the purest, most beautiful videos I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing this.

Loved her expression! Reminded me of my son when he was young and my 66 GTO.

My little boy has the same Recaro car seat in the back of my Camaro. He's a bad influence, go faster daddy!, do a burnout daddy!

Words can't describe this video. My pop has been gone for 10 years and we used to do stuff like this all the time. He street raced a 73 Ford Torino wagon. Lime green, cop car hubcaps, absolutely base model car he stuffed a 460 into. I was 14 years old and when he took me out for rides, I thought the car was gonna suck the hood into the motor, it had the best induction sound ever. Thanks for bringing back those memories.....

The best part of this story is how much you understand and appreciate what your dad did for you.....

As a 58 year old guy that got my first 1982 Corvette in 1983 and later trading it for a 1986 Corvettes has been my favorite car. I bought a 2012 in 2014 and later sold it in 2016 to buy the 2013 60th Anniversary Artic White Grand Sport that I have now. Corvettes are the true and first American Muscle Cars. Great story and great video.

You have a gift for telling these stories that brings us emotions and feelings. Well done Sir

My new *FAVORITE* channel!!!! THE story of my family Life as a kid. AND we are the same age!!! So happy I found your channel!!

Your daughter is so stoked to help clean the car for grandpa. Loved the look on her face when you put your foot in it and especially the look after your foot came off.

Her little face, scared to death and having the time of her life all at the same time. Bless her.

Beautiful story. Not many of us are fortunate to have had a dad in our lives that shared their time and effort with us . The icing on the cake is the 64 Vette . What a beautifull car. I have a 79 c3 Vette that I enjoy immensely. I can only imagine how much you have enjoyed yours having such a beautiful story that goes with it. Continue broadcasting these videos. Is the connection that a lot of us can have to our past and younger days. I love every minute of it. Outstanding job and congrats! Well done!

Great story, thanks for sharing. I was just in Tn for vacation, beautiful area.

Your dad is awesome

I've yet to meet a Corvette, or should I say a Corvette Owner, who doesn't have a story and I've met many hundreds. Thanks for sharing your story. Save the Wave.

Tears shed ! I see a girl 10-11 years from now driving a 64 vet . I was 5 sitting on the center console of a 68 (in 72) 440 RT Cornet With chrome reverse dogs And dad banging gears when I got hooked on fast cars. Some people say cars are a waste of money . They just don't have the good memories . Everyone of my good friends loves cars and motorcycles. The stories are endless from getting stuck in mud or racing to loosing a few friends .But I don't regret any of it,better to slide in to you death bed scratched beaten bruised and lived than wishing you had taken a thrill /chance now and then vs: regretting you had not lived life to it's fullest! Good luck with your channel work as hard as your dad has and sky's the limit.

Great story keep them coming

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Took me back to working on cars and going to races with my dad. The memori8 bought tear s to my eyes . And that's what life is about. Keep it up and God bless you and your family.. YALL ARE MY KIND OF PEOPLE

Cool car cool story

Having just had my first child last night (a beautiful little girl coincidentally) I absolutely this story. Thank you so much for sharing the wealth of your family with us all it may not carry a dollar sign but you're a very rich man!

You mean more to your dad than that car ! You are very lucky, I found my dad in a casket seeing him for the first time and last time.

What a fabulous bunch of memories, and they were told as a great story. Really nice to hear how family figures into the whole thing. It's the people involved who make the car hobby what it is. Looks great with the mags and steelies, too!

Its a joy to see how thoughtful and precious life is for you. Gratitude is a wonderful quality. Keep counting your blessings for they are truly the enrichment of values that build your self worth. Peace. 👍

My first car that was legal for road was a 77 Camaro 396bb 411 gears 4speed drag car my mom and dad gave to me for my 17bday ...my mom did want me to have it cause it was fast. She said if she ever finds a real good paying job she's buying a older fast car and she did and it broke down do to a bad mechanic that forgot to put oil back in tranny after new clutch I burnt out mom didn't know I took for ride at 15 lol.....car sat 2yrs then my mom dad fixed car and after my dad convinced mom I can handle it I got it.........mom didn't know I was driving dad to beer store every weekend when I was 14....plus mom didn't know i saved up and bought a 78gia stang with 350hp boss 302 and i drove it every day on back roads......ssssshhhhh dad was my hero he knew i was no dummy after all i drove supercross and drag bikes since young and always respected road laws

I like your car story a lot. That's what a good car does, it gives you great memories. I've own seven mid years vettes and my 64 always held the soft spot for me. Enjoy!!...

You’re really lucky your daughter is so cute that’s priceless no money can buy your memories like that

Your daughter's eyes at 17:20 - hahahaha amazing!!!!!

The look on your kids face was priceless when you were getting on it! thank you for you time!!

Really enjoy this video, such a great story. I raised my daughter in my garage and the hotrod culture in my 28 model A. She is 38 now and always tells me how much she enjoyed her childhood memories. Plz keep up the good work.

Awesome Story!! My dad did the same thing with me but mine was a 1969 Corvette. At the time he was going too give me the 1958 Corvette. I remember playing in it when I was a kid and hated the 1969. He sold the 1958 Corvette because the guy that bought it offered him Crazy Money for it. He didn’t want to sell it but Crazy Money will do that too you sometimes!! I’m 54 now and my dad still want tell me how much he got for the car. He agreed to write it down and told me where to look when he’s no longer with us. Awesome story! I hope you give it too your daughter one day. 2022

Too cool. As a Vette guy myself, you make car guys and Vette guys proud. Let's keep our hobbies going through friends and family. Great video

Great story brotha ...your so blessed to have such an amazing family ...thank you for sharing your moments with us fans ....stay strong n stay true ...love the channel brotha ...

Beautiful Vette!! I really enjoyed your story about it, thanks for sharing. Im glad you've hung onto it all this time, thats awesome. Dont let it go - ever no matter what. I've had a few Vettes over my 52yrs and I wish I had hung onto my first one. I just bought a brand new Z06 which is a kick ass car but nothing compares to your first one especially a Vette. Your Daughter is a little sweetheart too. Thanks again for sharing!

I love this story. The mismatched wheels kill it. Your daughters love it

Great story. I was 16 in 1969. I was always into Z/28’s and still am with my 70 Z/28 which I bought in 1981 from the orig owner.

Your father must be so proud of you. Your story is awesome and how your passing the passion and that corvette to your daughter.

One of the greatest stories that I ever heard. Awsum. Been following you for sometime. Was a friend of Jim Barrilaro and he'd did engine work on my 1965vMustang fastback drag car, my then new 1969 Corvette with one of his wild paint jobs and a 1964 Jeep wild paint jobs. Went to the drags with him several times and got a scary wide once in his B/MP 57 Ford drag car and in his Windjammer wheelstander. New him when his speed shop was busy. Great memories.

Brought back memories of me and my dad, remember him grabbing me up to go to town in his 95 z28 cause a guy in a foxbody called him out, made 3 runs each time the z28 came out on top. Ill never forget. Greetings from mid TN

Our dad had a 64 Corvette. This video brought back some great memories. Thanks for sharing your story.

Thank you for sharing this story. Love your channel, you have a beautiful family, and may I say you have brought fatherhood to a new level. Thanks again

I just found your channel n watched about dragging the dragster out of the woods n putting it back together then digging up of the 55 chevy n got hooked but this one made me cry thinking of my car experiences with my dad, thanks keep up the great job !

The look on her face is priceless.

I still have my first car I ever bought w my own money at 17. It’s a 97 rs camaro. It was a few years old and only a v6, but it too started my love of all muscle cars. Cool video and thanks for the great content!!!!

Your little girls eyes are priceless. I remember leaving a show in a hopped up VW bug with my son when he was really little. Header screaming, tires chirping and the look he gave me was awesome. Hope this type of stuff does plant a seed in them to appreciate the old and fun cars. My first car was a 64 too bye the way, Fairlane 500 289. Still have it today!

I can only say, I hope you appreciate how lucky you are to have had the dad you did.

10-Years ago I put 15x 4.5 Cragar front runners with 15x8.5 Steel reverse painted half black and half white because that's the way I remembered how it look in 68.Love the wheel combos

Your 64 Corvette brings back memories of my dad's 64 Corvette convertible, he had his in the early 70's painted it copper metal flake! It had an isky cam a Holley 750 dp and the Hooker 4-1 side pipes black, it had a Muncie M21 4 speed and 4.56 gears with Mickey Thompson soft compound tires on ET mags! It ran 11.91@121 mph back in 75 at Englishtown NJ! Thanks for sharing your story, I wish he kept his and he does too! Great memories though!

Great story loved it. My dad had a 1966 convertible 427 4 speed got my first ticket in it. My sons are grown now to, we built a t bucket kit together loved ever minute of it , I hope you get to leave the vette to your daughter.

I’m so glad i found this video. I was parked by you at brainerd after the coker tire cruise in. My wife and i looked at the corvette for 10 minuets trying to figure out the primer spots since the blue looked so good. Such a great story man. Thanks for sharing
