    I had the honor of helping out this kind family bring back to life their 1968 Charger barn find! It's been sitting for quite some time, but we're going to do our absolute best to put this Charger back on the road where it belongs. Think it'll run and drive after many years?

    It's nice to see someone who loves a car enough to keep it, but store it properly so it doesn't rot to pieces. Too many folks hold onto things but don't have the ability to store or care for them and so they rot outside until they're worthless. If you want it, keep it well, but if you can't then move it along to someone who can!

    This is so freakin awesome Dylan, luv it when u guys team up. Luv me a 68 charger 💯!!! Surprised at how solid it is and how it fired right up! My best friend who sadly passed in 2015 in his early 50's had a 68 charger. His dad's friend bought it new then they bought it in like 70 or 71. They used it as a family car until it was parked. My friend restored it with his dad and his dad gave it to him. It was spanish gold with white interior, a 383 and a 727 trans. Right b4 he passed it was put into a storage unit. It was moved back 2 his dads house and put in the garage. As far as I know it's still there. I loved that car and wish there was some way I could get it!!! A very heartwarming story Dylan, awesome of you guys to help the family out! Awesome that the young gal wants to learn about the classics!!!

    Dylan, this is exactly why I enjoy your videos. Youve shown great patience and the ideals of what a mechanic should be. To see someone actually taking the time to explain the basics to a young person, in a very concise way, so even the most jaded of us can remember what it is we're supposed to do. Too many times we get caught up in the hour rates and the overall work, we forget what we should strive for. Thank you for being a good example of a Christian.

    Thanks for another great video. This was a really good one. Reviving the true american dream for an oldtimer gentleman and his daughter was true feelgood heartfelt entertainment. I really appreciate what you guys are doing.

    awesome episode! i think the 1968 specifically is by far the best looking Charger, and the best looking Mopar ever made, in my humble opinion

    I love that the car is still going to be in the family, and that such a young girl is interested in learning about it, and how different things work, the ins and outs of general maintenance and how easy it can be to work on your own old car.
    And you could see the joy in the original owners eyes at getting to see his old baby coming back to life.

    32:13 Feels and seems like the Charger tries to come out on it's own with that truck sound ❤‍🔥

    I really like patina cars. They have so much character. Nice 68! 👍
