Will it run? A 1969 Camaro sitting 41 years! 

It's amazing how much these old American cars can take, and still come back. It's also Heartwarming to see just how much people love the rescues

It is amazing that you guys work all week and then go out and help people in your spare time. I hope that one day you guys will grow enough to make a living from your channel. I will be here cheering you on. You're good people.

I NEVER get tired of watching Richard and Christina. They work so well together and they don't edit out Richard's bloopers, which so many do to theirs. By the way, did anyone notice that Richard never once forgot to hook up the battery? That's his claim to fame in the blooper department.

Christina you need to bring this guy with you as your spokesman. You could tell he was over the moon when that car started. Great video as always , thank you guys so much for sharing your adventures with us.👍👍🇨🇦

Hell yeah!!! I don't care what anyone says about older engines! They plain and simple come back, even when most people give up on them. You guys are.awesome!! Always fun to watch you videos. Great job!!

Pull valve covers and tap valves with plastic mallet, will help to unlock engine.

Love the '69 Camaro!!

Great video, the owner was so happy that his Camaro is running. Now he can share it with his boys.

Just outstanding, how gratifying is that ! Kudos to the both of you !!!!!🎉😊

Wow,this 1 was really tough. But you guys are terrific. Thanks😊

You guys are heaven sent! Helping people get their babies going again! I love the way you both got excited for the owner when it finnaly started!❤

That was definitely one of the best and personal videos I have seen! Really glad you helped Gus and his family make there dreams come true. Keep on reviving!!

what an awesome revival , and working along with the cars owners family made it better

How can you not love this channel ❤❤

The ultimate "What-the-Rust?-Mobile"!

Excellent execution work by Richard and excellent photography by Christina. Really enjoyable to watch. Thanks

Excellent stuff , enjoyed this episode well done Richard and Christina ! Text book stuff thanks for sharing guys !

Sounds excellent!

Glad to see the kids involved. It is a great thing to see young people getting involved with older cars.

Always happy seeing another come back. Hope to see this car finished up and maybe the quarter panel repaired update please

Nice work Richard. This one looks like it's been in a flood to me... but after 40 years+ to get is running is just brilliant!

Richard you are good! One of the best Will It Run I have ever seen. You deserve a lot more subscribers.

Richard and Christina love watching you! Nice old Camaro, it wasn't looking good at first but you pulled it thru and it was hard to believe how the old motor smoothed out no noise. That's a car that needs many thousands thrown at it for restoration. Great investment and keep up the great work 👍❤

350 chevy that you can always count on, great job, and thank you for what you do so well.

Yes! This is a great channel, thanks for sharing WTR team... thumb's up again 👍

Another amazing success for the dynamic Duo. You guys killed it with this revival. And you now brought you're friend Gus back into the car community. Just a suggestion but you guys may be able to do a follow up video, if you follow Gus and the Camaro to a local car event this summer.

Nice project car for sure, nice job Richard. I have a soft spot for the 1st gen Camaro because I own a 67 Camaro SS myself, take guys and can't wait for your next video

Richard you and your wife is great and your content is getting better and better. You are a true mechanic and very real.. wow!!!

Awesome project. Glad to see it's going to be driven again and not sitting collecting dust. Notice the grip fender protector. I'm from the grand rapids area. Very cool.

I bought a 1965 Pontiac. Lemans that I put (what used to be called a "Goat Kit" that turned it into a GTO) that was maroon red with a white convertible top (and came with the original convertible boot cover) and had factory air conditioning. I bought it in 1972. Wish I still had it

Love watching you both tackle classic car situations. Thanks for the entertainment!

That is a very nice Camaro. All that car needs is a little TLC and a good deep cleaning.

Another great video Richard and Christina it was challenging but they got it running

Glad to see that you and Christine got that Camaro up and running. The best thing that can be done for that car is license it, and drive it. Don't let it sit. It's amazing how much damage a tarp can do to a car. The motor sounds really healthy to. Nice job 👍

Top notch mechanic, class act, Christina doing a great job also....class act...thanks so much for sharing..

Very cool seeing the young people work on the car.

Richard & Christina, you two are the best ❤️. Whenever someone sheds a tear of happiness for what you’ve done - it’s genuine, bless you both 🙏🏻❤️.

Still a long way to go. Get a timing light on it, your water hoses, valve covers on right way up, cover back on the flywheel, new distributor cap and rotor, new plug wires, pull broken bolts on valve cover and carburetor, new gasket on carburetor. The list is still long. Brake masters cylinder, probably slave brake cylinders in the wheels , possibly new brakes lines. Then you can think about driving it to a tire shop. Good luck.

Definitely a gem 💎 right there nice motivation can't wait to find me a good masterpiece to work on and keep original as possible keep it coming man nice classic

I grew up in Indiana, and I'm guessing that the engine bay got a lot of winter salt in it. I'm guessing the owner hosed down the outside, but not the engine bay.

Richard's calm approach to big obstacles and his copious knowledge of those automobiles always impress me. Bravo! Well done!

Glad to see how well Cre-Oil Penetrating Oil worked!

Richard and Christina it's awesome watching you both doing these car and truck Videos and puthing these classics back on the road, so keep up the great work and God Bless both of you 😃😃🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪👍👍👍👍❤

When putting in plugs, always turn the plug anticlockwise first to find the thread entry point, then turn the plug clockwise to insert it thus avoiding cross threading. Same with bolts.

I enjoyed that one Richard and Christina, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos because you are real people. The pleasure you get from doing this is also very evident.... Keep up the good work guys, you are appreciated 😊

What an awesome thing you guys do! Seeing the emotion & how important it was to that family made me so happy for everyone involved! No doubt if it were me I'd be leaking from eyes too. Prob more than that pesky oil filter! Keep up the solid work, yall rock! I look forward to the next one!👍✌️

Reminds me of my first car which was a 68 the engine looks like my 2nd vehical which was a 75 chevy half ton

Wonderful episode, really enjoyed it. I owned two Camaros A bone stock 70 Rally Sport and a 68 with a big block that i put in. The first Gens begged to be hot rodded LOL

That might’ve been the most satisfying start up that I’ve seen on any channel of this kind. I was on the edge of my seat, and you guys came through.

Love that his sons were involved.

“SMOKE AND GLORY” An amazing video,what a turnaround;Richard,You and Christina are great,making people happy!Thank You, and Take Care, Your Oregon Friend ☮️

Richard, is there anything you can't get running? You guys are great!

This was awesome! Gus and his family really should make their own channel and document progress on that car

Amazing work all of you. This was a tough one. Was so incredible to see the emotion of the entire family with what you two did. Incredible video and amazing determination. God bless you both for the joy you give people.

Cool Camaro, too bad someone let it kinda go to waste. A "blind hole" doesn't go into anything, it is closed on the end. Anyway, glad you got her running, and hopefully she's on her way to getting the restoration she deserves. Take care, Richard and Christina!

Hey guys you all did great job at getting this old girl running again. That is the thing that we do not see all the hard work that it takes to get a car back up and running. With making a video for your channel alot of the hard and tough work is not show because of time and that is what makes you and Christina's channel the best! Thank you Richard and Christina for all you do!!

This was awesome from start to finish.

Hi Richard & Christina, greetings from Scotland. Very nice video, and what a great job. You worked hard for that one Richard, and it sounded remarkably smooth when it eventually started. It’s a very cool car, and I hope Gus follows thru and continues the work that you started. A new exhaust system followed by sorting out the steering/ track rods & brakes would probably allow you to drive it……if only temporarily. Nice job Richard and lots of good information whilst you were working on it. Excellent knowledge. Cheers for now guys.

quality video guys ... richards got patience of a saint with that stuck motor ... top filming christina ... always good too watch the quality work ... keep up the great will it run videos ....

Richard: you can't straighten push rods, once they bend they're done. Me: well, I've straighted many a push rods just to get an engine running with no problems. Then replace later... Or not 🤷‍♂️ lol

A great pitch for a great pair of auto revivers. It's also great to see pleased customers getting involved and speaking R & C's praises before the Camera. Indiana isn't close really to Tennessee, so I was amazed that they both have regular jobs. Having watched many episodes I was under the impression that this was all they did, especially given the distances they occasionally travel. All on a weekend. As their fame spreads the demand may require them to quit their "day" jobs and do this full time...as long as the income justifies it.

It's so great to get his boys involved this project.

Hi I redid a 69 SS Rag Top in 85. The original color was a sky blue, we painted it Deep Forest Green with White Stripes new White Top and Green Interior. It was also a automatic with Air and a Posi. Sure do miss that car. Good Luck

What a wonderful team!

Wow just watched the 69 Camaro W I R , awesome job guys , I could see the smoke from Nova Scotia loved it!

Soooo exciting!! 😅

Richard, Omg , what a sweet sound and very rewarding video. Love it

Good view and good couple team, opaaaa!!

Gus thanks for turning me on to these videos, Great job on his Camaro Rich. I have a 78 Bandit T/A, and Gus will be racing me with this Camaro. Mine is Barn find as well with the very little rust so I'm going to leave it that way and fix some interior issues. Thanks for your video's

I love 350s... and that tip with the valve spring I will mos def use... thanks

awesome video! good to see the younger generation getting involved in wrenching

Great car. This reminds me of how retro my 2012 actually is. Very weird about the oil filters too. I've never come across that.

👏👏👏👏👏😁 I'm still smiling! An awesome job, on an awesome car, for an awesome family!! Another miracle run for a car that was looking like it wouldn't ever run again! I wish Gus and his family the best and continue getting the Camaro back on the road. 👍👍👍😎 Thank you for sharing Richard and Christina! And thank you to Gus and his family as well!! Fantastic

Richard you getting this car for Christina ? Or getting it going for owner. Your the most thorough will it start man I have watched. Now think it’s for the customer .Thank you for sharing! 💯👊

You guys Richard and Christina are Awsome 👍 and to see the smile on Gus’s face, that is Why you have the best Channel on YT If i have lived in the States, i would have send you a small gift, because its not cheap what you folks are doing ❤️

Thanks for sharing! It’s great to see someone who really cares about the quality of their videos. You both work together as an amazing team

A great one Rich & Chris!!! Really enjoyed the ups an downs of this project. Real nice job of filming and editing too. Thanks so very much and please keep 'em comin'.

Lovely greetiings to the america and the all greek people in the world from Türkiye.. Thanx for this video dude...❤❤❤

Great video. Awesome outcome.

67 RS Camaro convertible the I bought our neighbour I gave it to my sister

You are the man

I had a really nice 68 back in 1986.big block 4spd.i miss that car so much!

Thank you! Richard for this magnificent presentation on the RU-vid channel. You guys make a great couple and you're such a real nice team. Have yourself a great Summer 2023. Johnny, Montréal, Canada.

Hello Richard & Christina: Another successful video. Richard pick up a half moon pry bar. It is very good at lifting stuck valves and getting reasonable leverage on the ring gear or flex plate. The tip on the one I use most frequently has worn down considerably but it still seem to get the job done without slipping excessively. Keep the videos coming.

Snap On actually makes a tool specifically for turning an engine by the flywheel. I don't know how much it costs, but I do know that it is available.

Ah. I see from watching and listening it was left outside as well Too bad. Great video. Kudos to you both!

looking forward to this. :)

Nice dame car 1969 camaro

beautiful car

Great revival, with owner and family, present. Made memorys for ever , well done , great teamwork 👌💨💨💨

best episode yet!

Rich is the man simple calm and knowledgeable. I always Enjoy watching "what the rust"

I think that is the favorite body style of Camaros people like, thank you for sharing.

I grew up in northern Indiana. The worst thing is all the salt and sand they throw on the roads in the winter. Unless you clean everything, engine included, that stuff will just rot your car, even if you park your car inside. Now we just have to pray the owner gives this old rag top the love it deserves.

Great episode!

love the Greek flag ..have the same one in my garage and i also own a 69 Camaro convertible..lol

That was an epic “will it start” 👍🏻👍🏻

Wow Richard... That ole gal was sure giving you a run for your money! I knew you'd bring her back to life though. Beautiful car & nice family. Another job well done.

The 52 Chevy hooked me.

The old Chevy really put up a fight but Richard knocked it out like Rocky Great Job.
