Good morning, Nick and George, I've been looking forward to this video, getting the interior in the 500, Here we go!!!
Good morning! Here we go, indeed. She is really starting to look like a car again!
Good Morning to Eugene, and Texas. Did you ever give your car a name?
Thanks for your service, Sir.. I’m still active duty.. take care of yourself.. gotta enjoy this beauty when she gets here
Rotisserie time capsule. Ready, steady - go. Drive it, Eugene. Congrats!
Eugene, I can really feel that excitement and anticipation. No words can explain how you must be feeling now. Bless all of you. I agree with you Nick, we are a dying breed. 😎
My Grandmother would be very proud of you guys. She was in charge of final inspection at the Saint Louis plant. in the mid 60's.
Eugene, you will know these legendary craftsmen kept your emotional connection to this vehicle intact as they brought it back to original condition. Because your hands touched a part so many years and maybe lifetimes ago, they made sure you will touch that very same part again. What will become of this passion and love for this work after they are gone? 🇺🇸⚓️
Sounds like a good story behind his buying the car and getting drafted.
The fact that the dealer kept it for him is interesting.
Very glad he made it back.
Wow! What an amazing video. I really enjoyed seeing Nick, Manny, and Robert, installing the front part of the interior. It is really starting to look like a car again. The "A" Team really did a great job. I totally agree with you Manny, the old parts have a little patina, but that is part of the soul of the Charger, and they do talk to you. The look of joy, and excitement, on your faces was a pleasure to see. The 500 is getting very close to being finished, and my anticipation meter is in the danger zone. Nick the look on your face when you said that you were going to turn the key, start her up and take her for a drive was priceless. The gleam in your eyes says it all. I appreciate everyone's hard work, dedication, and attention to detail during the build, and just saying thank you, is not enough. The 500 looks amazing, and has brought back many memories from 52 years ago. I can't wait to see the 500 in person.
It’s just awesome to see your beautiful car getting the VIP treatment! Such care and attention. Soon you’ll have it again.
They should come down to deliver it and video it for historical purposes. You don’t see this everyday! You probably are the only 1 owner of the 500.
@@retiredafce3373 Actually there are 8 original 500 owners including myself, but a very low number for sure.
@@eugenecastles7475 Your Charger 500 is very special though Eugene. Your Charger 500 is literally Brand New. I doubt that any of the other seven (7) Charger 500 cars are anywhere near as mint and perfectly restored as yours is. I mean just about every part, nut & bolt, etc. has been payed great attention and detail to. I do not believe that you will ever find another Charger 500 that comes remotely close to the perfection that yours achieves Eugene. I am so stoked and genuinely happy for you sir! Fred
Giasou Eugene,
You survived Vietnam, you survived the up’s & down’s of life.
If anyone deserves to have there pride & joy returned to them in immaculate condition by the best in the business the infamous “ A Team “ you do Eugene.
I think everyone’s anticipation meter is off the chart.
Esmeralda “ The Yellow Rose of Texas “ will be the Belle of The Ball this Spring.
Kowalski better be on his best behaviour.
A Big Cheerio from Australia.
Louis Kats 👍🇦🇺🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇷
Every part, every nut, bolt, screw, it is coming along beautifully. Watching this car come back to life puts a smile on my face.
Manny feels the vibes from vintage objects. Just another reason he's so damn cool!
Yes sir! And Manny was having a great time that day.
I love seeing Eugene’s dream come true. It gives hope to everyone who has followed this build
Peace and Love to Nicks Garage
I couldn't agree with you more Jimmy.
@@eugenecastles7475
Congratulations my friend your Charger restoration has really lifted my spirit. It will be a bittersweet time to see her go home
I know you will enjoy it
Zimmara how are you ?
@@camirocz Everything is good here in central Texas.
Don’t forget that George has a passion about his work for the cars that Nick and his friends put together. Well done all of you.
Love Manny's passion/thinking on this old mopar. I couldn't have said it any better. Many of us out here who grew up during those years feel exactly the same. Thanks to Nick and the whole crew of Nick's Garage for this series. Hang on to that Kowalski Nick - way too cool to sell!
That 69 charger 500 is coming along nicely Nick. I grew up like you did around these cars could not afford them when I was young.
I made my own Hot Rod. Ford 1965 Ranchero Deluxe. It came with a 289 V8 Automatic. Everything on the engine was High Performance. Drove it for 13 years
WOW what a bunch of very talented guy's building an old car all new again🤩💫🥰.....l thank you Nick and all you guy's + George making this fine video possible for us to watch 👀👍 PS there nothing on youtube about car stuff better than this at Nick Garage 💯%
When I was a Kid, I really struggled with Legos. Then one day it just clicked. When nick said he wanted to drive this car into Eternity, It gave me chills and made me tear up a little. Hey Nick, we love you too! Cheers buddy!
Manny has a good point in wanting to return the original console in the interior, with Eugene's own hands having touched it, it's like a reunion. If it were my car I would definitely prefer the original to a new piece whenever possible. There's the very definition of "restoration" properly done, with care, not speed.
Yes it’s Eugene’s car . Every scratch , finger print, he paid for it twice. Once cash and once by his service. Any guy that can return from duty and drive his original car is a lucky man! The” Freedom Bird” to the Charger 500, wow what a story.
I have been watching this project since it began. The amount of work and attention to detail required to restore this car is beyond incredible. It is testament to the dedication of Nick and his team another classic Muscle Car from the golden age of motoring lives again!
That interior is coming out absolutely mint. Absolutely love the attention to detail.
Nick you and your team are the best shop to restore this rare mopar ! The love and passion shows ! You cant rush perfection! 👍👍
i was never a car person until i saw the 1971 sassy grass green hemi cuda in the back alley(lane) of my parents house in 1976 and since then i am still friends with nick and his brothers
Good old days in the back alley.
Manny is SO right! New cars are garbage that instantly depreciate the moment leaving the dealer. These old classics will live for decades upon decades because they were built by people with a passion to build them and a manufacturer that produced a beautiful and well made product. It's so beautiful that guys like Nick and his "A" team have that same passion. I'm glad I lived in that era! It was a beautiful time in my life. I may never have a chance to own such beauty in 1:1 scale but I love the next best thing and that's 1/25 scale plastic model cars of those beauties.
As a kid, I asked my friend who was heavily into auto mechanics whether the chrome made the car go faster. Yeah. . . I really did. . .
Brings back a lot of memories putting our old stuff together with dad.
Nick, Robert and Manny- great job! Well done once again.
The Charger is really coming together now. So many pieces that have to work together to get it done right.
Nick... it really meant a lot to me that you took time ..again ... to speak with such respect and praise about Robert and Manny.. You understand how important it is to have friends instead of employees. Also your humility is so touching. My wife Kate is Greek (her mother's maiden name was Zogas) and also as a kid I worked in restaurants with Greek owners ... Always they were wonderful and caring. It didn't matter that I was a dish washer or as years went by a cook and lastly a bar tender. So important to be appreciated. Ps. First car was a 66 Buick Skylark GS. Paid for it working in the restaurant... It was NICKS CHAT A WHILE INN.
Really fortunate the car was in such good shape to start with and that there is such a collector following so parts are available to make it like new again.
George your Editing is incredible. These productions are better then motor trend!
You can say that this Charger 500 is hand built...Beautiful
I'm with Manny, 100%. The human touch is everything.
You’re doing a great job! Eugene is going to be very happy.
This build was special, Nick. You made it special for all of us. I think it was the coolest build you ever did on here. It was hard but impressive, Nick!
Wow, thank you!
It is like watching three men going back to their childhood time assembling a very powerful " toy car".
I remember when this 500 came in to Nicks on the trailer from California. I never thought. It would look like this again. Your crew does fantastic work , their experience and passion is so genuine. It’s gonna be hard to see this one finished and delivered.
Manny is correct about old muscle cars. You feel what's happening. I remember driving my 340 Dart I was PART of the machine!
Hey Nick ,Manny ,George,Robert, and Krew Good Monday and great to be hanging out with yall . The 500 is really coming along . Manny ,I fully get what your saying 1000% ... I feel the same way about things too .
Nick , great work being done on the 500 , Eugene has the best krew for bring the " The Yellow Time Machine " back to life .
Good morning Nick and Crew! Have a great week and think about Spring and Summer nights cruising the boulevard !
Sounds great!
Somebody please built a statue for NIck and his awesome crew. They deserve it.
It puts into perspective how long it takes to restore a car. You are a shop with access and means and it is still taking you 2 years to get it done. You will ALWAYS run into problems and if you are not experienced you CANNOT do it all yourself. It is why so many people will own an old car partially torn apart in their garages. It takes time, dedication and money if you want it done right.
Nick... Between 1968 and 1972 I worked at two Mopar dealerships doing customer repair work. And a lot of warranty work. Chrysler did not reimburse us (dealer) for all the repair time we spent chasing solutions to oil and water leaks, squeaks/rattles, complaints of low power (I got beat Saturday night so my car must be broken!), etc. So we had to charge out small parts and charge Mopar for the repairs (even though we did not perform the work) just to break even. As a result my work area was loaded with interior trim pieces, weather strips, switches, sensors, gaskets, and more. I can't tell you how many arm rests, valve cover gaskets, oil pressure sending units, etc. that I tossed in the trash when I accumulated a lot of parts. If I had only planned ahead! Watching the reassembly of the Charger 500 brings back many memories. I likely had every part on that Charger on and off at some time but it took several hundred different cars to get 'er done! Keep up the good work.
I wish I had all the parts you threw out.
It’s been a long road Gene since 1974! Nick and the boys are almost there. I can’t wait to see you slide in behind the wheel and take it to the road! What a great car. Everyone involved in bringing this beast back to life and has done with the greatest respect to you and this amazing 500!
Hi Tim, The 500 is so close to being finished, and I'm getting anxious for that first drive. I agree with your comments about the 500. I picked the right person for the restoration, and so did you. We both owe so much to Nick's Garage.
@@eugenecastles7475 ...Thanks you guys.
It's the cars that brought me to Nick's Garage. But it's the passion that brings me back!! Thank you Nick, Manny, Robert and of course George, plus the rest of the crew. You need to follow that car down to Eugene's place for the delivery. There won't be a dry eye in the place!
Nick, a terrific episode today, I want to give my thanks to Manny and Robert for their work and future work on Eugene's Charger 500. Eugene has a very special time machine coming back to him from Nick's Garage. It was mentioned about the survivability of today's late model cars and I'm doing my best to learn about and work on my own '12 Chrysler 200 Touring convertible. Yesterday I successfully tracked down the source of the problem with a P0591 trouble code and found I need to order and replace the cruise control switch on the right side of the steering wheel. It is very satisfying work to fix things on your own car. 🚘
It's so satisfying, to see an old grungy classic reborn. Great work boys!
That's a gem of a car. The owner will be very happy when they get their hands on it.
We certainly hope so. Everyone working with this one is thinking of Eugene.
Man, this is the best channel out there by far! If I had to explain the word “passion” to someone, I would simply show them an episode of Nick’s Garage! Nick,Manny,Robert, George, Leo…your passion is inspiring!
Wow, thank you!
Hi Eugene, James here, I'm a 74 yr old Vietnam combat vet, drafted in 1967, became a paratrooper, ended up in the 101st Airborne Div Camp Eagle V/N. Infantry. I've enjoyed watching Nick and his people work on your Charger 500. I've seen all episodes, love the story behind the car. I remember these, but when they came out I was in V/N, and all I've seen are pics of them. I'm originally from Delaware, very familiar with New Jersey. I came down with vivid in 2020, dec. Recovered, but was in hosp late 2020 into 2021. Been vaxed, doing ok so far. Look forward to seeing Nick test drive your car, and seeing you get it returned .
Thank you for your comment, James. We’re very glad that you’re doing better.
@James Wilson Hi James, we have a lot in common. We are basically the same age, and we have both done combat tours in Vietnam. I was in the AF, and got to Nam in 1969 on TDY. Thank you for your kind words about my 500. I'm very happy that you have been along for the build since the beginning. I have also enjoyed watching the 500 being restored by all of the very talented people at Showtime Muscle Cars, and Nick's Garage. The 500 is getting very close to the finish line, and I'm getting very excited to see the 500 in person after such a long time. I bought the 500 from the same dealership, where I also worked in Sparta NJ. I'm sorry to hear that you had Covid-19, but very happy that you are on the road to recovery. I am very anxious to see Nick get in the drivers seat, to start the 500 for the test drive, that will be epic for me. I hope that you continue to get better.
@@eugenecastles7475 Hi Eugene, I've owned several mopars years ago, my favorite was a '69 GTX, hemi, black, red interior, 4-speed. I bought it in 1971, at a GM dealer, for $800.! It ran like crap, but aside from being dirty, the paint & interior were great. I brought it home on my work trailer, it wouldn't stay running. I knew what the problems were, so I went to work on her. There was only I set of points in the dual pt distributed, it had regular gas in it. I pulled the plugs, bought new plugs, wires, points cond, changed springs for advance, new cap and coil. Changed oil, ran marvels mystery oil thru engine, drained & flushed system. I bought Mopar repair book on '69 GTX, set everything up by book, put Sunoco 260 gas in plus octane boost, calculated it to 108 octane. Detailed car top to bottom, end to end, also interior which was leather. Engine was 425 horse, dual quad, I also had carbs rebuilt by Bob's speed shop. I fired her up, she ran like a hemi should, loud, obnoxious, bad as heck. I left my yard, lit up the tires and couldn't get the smile off my face for weeks. When I nailed it I could see the gas guage drop it got approx 6 mpg, but I got there quickly. Talk about smiles per gallon. Once I learned to properly bring her out of the hole, I won lots of races. Absolutely my favorite car I ever owned. When electronic ignitions got popular and good I dropped a Mallory system in. I got a few tickets and my ins went up, but it didn't dampen my desire to run it. This truly was an epic street racer, I'll never forget what it felt like to drive it.
"COMING TOGETHER" I love the passion that is going in to this project. The many hands that have touched every piece of this machine are blessed.
Manny is exactly right!!!!!. I hope you follow up on the delivery to Eugene it would be neat to do an entire episode with him and hear his stories with the charger. Great job Nick and your crew. Beautiful car. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
As usual thanks for posting yet another update on Eugene's classic '69 Dodge Charger 500, Nick. When done, Eugene's car is not going to be just another restored automobile, but it will be a piece of Mopar history returned to its former glory! Excellent job Nick, Manny and Robert as Eugene is one fortunate man to have Nick's Garage working on and restoring his '69 Dodge Charger 500!
Beautiful, beautiful workmanship fella's, like no other !! West-coast ain't nothing compared to Nick and all the men, the entire shop, this is a 1st. rate shop !! Beautiful cars in the right place, I would trust this shop with any classic restoration job, you guys are the absolute best in the business. Attention to detail, nothing less than perfect, it don't leave unless it's right ! Those are the motto's to live by in a real, professional shop !! Good luck guys, keep it up and I will keep it on !! Love it, just love it. Oh, the memories,...wow !
Hey Nick , my Daddy and Granddaddy gave me tools to start working on my bike , then my cars , but as a teenager I got a job at a gas station too ..Work at a Texaco Full Service Gas Station, pumping gas, checking oil,cleaning windshields, changing tires,etc ...good times back then ...
I did the same as a teenager.
@@nickpanaritis4122 Nick , funny how somethings run together . The young people today ,just don't have a clue of how it was back then . I mean it wasn't all easy , but looking at today and then back in those days ...I'm like the old folks back then talking about the good ol days ..
I sure wish I would have saved the old Texaco oils cans I empty ,my shirts, hats, etc. Lolololol could have may a little mint . I guess like you said ,we're a dying breed . I wonder how many know how to stick the old metal spout into the oil can and then hold a paper towel or shop rag over the spout opening so not to spill oil on the engine and exhaust manifold as you turn the can over into the engine filler tube..lolololol..oh yeah ..the old days ..where did they go Nick . Yall have a good week
Always been a fan of your motor tests. I'm 65 years old and dad had a body shop during the 60s and 70s . Grew up there. That said. I was a fan of their engine's. Never a fan of very cheap body parts. But, that's just me. Still love your videos.
Thanks for watching.
Nick. Appreciate the time you and boys take to make this video of Eugene's Charger 500. It takes great dedication and effort to make things work right on any car restoration. In reality you are sharing the ups and downs which makes it more interesting for all. You are sharing your passion as mechanic and owner of muscle car restoration shop is inspiring. You and your team work closely together and share something that is really special. George has done a amazing job in catching all of this on film. This is by far the number one Muscle car show on the internet. Hands down. Congratulations and wish you all many more years of success. Thank you for sharing.
I had a ‘69 Coronet 500 that had that gorgeous console. Interior is just stunning. Great craftsmanship.
The 500 is coming back to life !!
Very cool Nick and team the 500 looks beautiful !!! Don't let trudeau near it !!
Great work, the team is amazing Nick regards from Greece 🇬🇷❤️, γεια σου Νίκο
What an awsome car , I can't think of any better team to rebuild this beautiful charger 500. Truly awsome .
Goooood Monday morning, Nick, George, Manny and Robert, and everybody watching!!!! Just watching these guys working on Eugene's Charger 500 with such PASSION, not just merely LIKING what they do, fills me with admiration and desire to do/be the same: beautiful, just beautiful!!! Eugene, firstly, thank you for your service, and you're a blessed man to have your car so painstakingly and lovingly reassembled by such DEDICATED guys!!!! George, your production talents and skills work to bring out the excellence being displayed, KUDOS TO YOU!!!! As someone else has already stated, peace and love to Nick's garage, and happy day and week to you all!!!
Nick you are an old school mopar guy, I love your passion...Bless you.
Thank you.
Great video, guys. Most people don't realize how much work goes into making a video like this. Kudos to your camera guy, narrator and video editor.
Much appreciated!
How many mechanics take their shoes off when working on cars? If I had the financial strength, I’d beg this team to build me a car. This thing is gorgeous!
imagine the cost of this build.........multiple very skilled ,extremely high paid people have worked on this beauty.the dash has over 50 rebuild/restore hours in it...the engine probably has that much or more.the body has 100s of hours of massaging to perfection..every item meticulously restored to better than new . it has to be close to 6 figures in the end and worth every penny.way beyond my reach .my dream is a lemon twist AAR cuda...340 six pack,4 speed........drool i got driven to sunday school in a brand new AAR as described in 1970 at 5 yrs old
Another snowy cold day in S ont. Looking out at my car and longing for clear dry roads. Thanks for another top notch show guys😎
Our pleasure! Stay warm.
Just...wow! Gotta love the passion these guys have, and it shows in the finished product. This car is a beauty! The map in the door pocket is the perfect touch.
Love this channel and all the old muscle cars, iwas born in 1963 and grew up around the Big three. I remember that his one farm boy his dad and grandfather had a bunch of old Studebaker those vehicle had a design all there own. As Nick's team is working on this peace of history it reminds me of my 72 Camero and wishing I never sold it. Keep up the AWESOME work Nick and team.
"Take a ride to infinity" This is a great project with a great back story! Thank You for sharing this !
you all need to have a couple of beers after today's work! I love the whole video! I can only imagine how the owner feels!
Such a beautiful car, coming along so beautifully! Eugene is such a lucky guy! I'm so glad he kept this car through all those years and will get to enjoy it later in life! Great job Nick and crew!
I cut my teeth on these mopars. The old-school is alive and well. Love your channel.
Right on, Mike.
Nick & Manny ... the word you're looking for about the parts ... is Spirit! Each part has its' own spirit, and you both "feel it"!
To Nick and all the gang, I love the passion and enthusiasm you have towards the charger 500. It's looking better and better, when every piece is going back on the way it looked like from the factory. It's as if life is being put back into Eugene Charger 500.Let that 440 Roar.👍❤️. Can't wait to see it run. Deserves to be restored.
Can't wait to see the finished 500 out in the sunlight going down the highway. Can't even imagine the smile that Nick will have on his face during the first road test of this beautiful car.
Well said Manny! The cars built before 1975 were not throw aways. They were built well but were limited by the technology of the day. After the muscle car era, post-74, quality went down for many reasons.
Howdy Nick. You were saying about cars that were dead in a sense? I would say the cars were or are in a long deep sleep, just like sleeping beauty, and they have to be lovingly awakened with lots of hard work and sweat, which can only translate as a labor of love, and making sure everything is done correctly. When the car is starting to come together like all the cars you've restored, is when they begin to wake from a long deep sleep, to show what they were made to do, and show off their beautiful lines and body once again. You and everyone doing the work, long hours and making sure everything is perfect, are so nice to see. The classics live on and on👍👍
Good morning Nick and crew from mid Tn.
I hope everyone is having a great day. Another excellent video featuring the 500, thank you.
I always thought there was a sound deadening or insulation blanket under the carpets. Sure is coming together! Poor Eugen must be going crazy watching all this happening and knowing how close he is to turning the key and smoking some tires! Great work you guys.
It’s there. Look closely.
She looks beautiful..You guys have done a great job restoring that beautiful car
Such a beautiful car! Love you too Nick!
Great job on the car Nick. The chrome housings on the sides of the console with the courtesy lights can be installed 2 ways. From the video it appeared they should be turned 180° so that the hooded part is more towards the console top, directing the light more towards the floor. Won't be long 'til it's back on the road again. 👍
She is looking great guys ...what a beauty
Going to be a beautiful car Nick the passion you have for old cars being shown in the work you guys do in restoring this car an all your cars I love it an wish these younger kids would get involved in learning how to do their part in keeping the passion going .
Wow another beautiful car is being built at Nick's garage
Awesome work! Great to see it getting closer to delivery!
Great job....the look on your face Nick when you say that you are waiting for the moment to take it for a spin to infinity is the face of a man in love...xaxaxaxa keep up the good job guys you are amazing...greetings from Greece 👍👍👍💪💪💪🇬🇷
Giassou Spiro. Nassai Kala.
Its looking amazing! Excellent work by everyone!
This is no fly by night resto. The quality fit and finish are second to none. What a special project. Eugene, when you get it back, please don't make her a garage queen. A tip of the Stetson to you all.
Well, maybe not a garage queen but I hope Eugene can enjoy it with no misfortune coming to it on the roads. If it were my car I would avoid driving it in snowy or rainy conditions, as that would make a mess of the expert restoration of the undercarriage.
@@MoparDan thats a given...
The 500 will be driven, maybe not every day, but it will not be a garage queen.
DAMN Nick, YOU REALLY LUCKED OUT WITH these GREAT WORKERS ! ROBERT , MANNY, and LEO
Nice one day when I buy my dream car ( 68 or 69 charger) I'll have you and your team build it. Your attention to detail your attitude and passion is all I need to know my build will be in great hands. I know it won't be cheap but it will be worth it. Keep up the great work Nick
Nick you and your men have done an amazing job on that fine looking piece of machinery I’m sure Eugene will appreciate it when he’s driving around in Texas and I hope he doesn’t run into any longhorn steers or any of them big old deer in Texas. Nick you and I have a lot in common when I was a young boy my uncle Ralph had a welding shop grandpa long taught me how to weld and braise my uncle Dave had a mechanic shop taught me how to rebuild engines tuneups brake jobs when I was around 14 my father was a brickmason I learn how to lay brick when I was a young boy I remember my very first automobile it was a 1956 De Soto station wagon it had that same hemi engine that you have in your shop it had a rod knocking at it my uncle Dave would tell me stories of when he was in World War II how they would wrap leather around connecting rods that were knocking and put them back together and send them on their way so I thought to myself I wonder if that will work in my engine so I started pulling the oil pan off found that connecting rod that was knocking wrapped a piece of leather around it stuck it back together and it run fine for quite a while oh and then I got into motorcycles and then hot rods I had a 71 Plymouth duster 340 wedge. I used to do all kind of trick stuff to it one of the tricks that we used back in the day was a coiled up piece of copper inside a can and we would pack that can with ice run fuel through it into the carburetor that was for Friday night racing well that’s all for now you and the boys are doing a fabulous job I love your program. 👍👍👍🤠🙏🏻🇺🇸

I love Manny 's passions
Nick it`s absolutely stunning, i`m a B Body guy and almost had a tear in my eye, I thought you had passion for these cars, when Manny was doing the console, priceless, if it`s nice and clean, I agree, leave it alone, it`s only original once. Robert and Manny, what a crew, you are in very good hands Eugene, those seat are nice and tight, they look fantastic, I also love that every single bulb will work as it should, well said, those flashers in the hood indents, again priceless, watching from Michigan.
Dr. Nick, every video about Eugenes Charger 500, makes this car a work of art!, all of you that work on it shows your passion when you are putting every part together piece by piece, and a big shout out to George for his awesome work on the video, cheers.
I agree with Mr. Manny. Any worth owning and caring for, a part of us is tied to that item. These are works of art more than just mere machines. They have life and character because thats how we live. Live Love Motor
Robert does quality work. The car is beautiful
Thank you sir!
Teasing us with a startup and drive. In Canada that will not happen for another 6 weeks when snow melts and streets are dry.
I've enjoyed this 69 Charger build. I restored a similar Yellow 69 R/T 4 speed car with a black interior.
Thank You for the great historic content.
Hello from Wisconsin
