    Blows my mind to see a million subscriber worthy channel at 12,000 subs. I'm glad to be one of the first. I met Troy at Mopars at Merit's. Him and his team are amazing people doing amazing things. Great guy,great team. This channel will be one of the biggest one day. This is the beginning of something huge.

    What a great find and a great care giver he was to the car. I almost shed a tear because I couldn’t imagine selling my dream car. What a fantastic story and a great wife he has.

      He was a very active bike rider, got hit by a car so not as easy for him to shift anymore. Otherwise I think he would still have it.

    I love you guy's channel....but I'm a Chevy guy. I've owned some Mopars but the truth was back then they were cheaper than the Chevelles and Corvettes I really wanted. I like the way you guys are professional and the stuff you guys buy is always cool. You guys had a black 70 ls6 that I would've sold a kidney for but 63-7 Corvettes are my be all end all. I just wanted to let you know that I really like your channel and appreciate what you guys do and your knowledge. So thank you for making these videos.

    Troy you’re right man. Most of us are here for the mopars but the large majority of us love all the muscle cars regardless of make. These are special cars and deserve to be shared.
    A+ channel fellas. Keep em coming 😎

    As many will state, we are by definition car guys first if Mopar is our deal. I grew up with uncles and others all living or dying by Chevy. I will watch you go and snag ANY car from the crusher. Thank you for your channel!

    Troy that car is awesome, as nice as I've seen in the last 30 years. I was with a buddy of mine back in 69 when he bought one of
    those cars, it was the best day of his life, he still says that. Congrats, enjoyed your video, very much.

    Beautiful 69 Z. I had a friend who had a silver 69 with black stripes. That thing was wicked! The thing that always stuck out to be about them was how the shifter was almost straight. He use to bang the hell outta that thing.

    I am sure you guys have found the [partial vin on the block. If not its on the drivers side flat pad ....super nice car. Troy, I have the orange and black Z color combo you mentioned. NCRS will help with info as well as Jerry Mcneish website. This is a great find. Nice work!...Jim

    A few observations:
    1. Good job on holding your tongue in front of the lady Troy.😂
    2. I noticed you did not give him a free Mopars5150 T-shirt😂
    3. Troy, you have the ultimate wife!
    4. I’d sure like to see a little street race between your Camaro and Bob’s road runner.

    I am mostly a Mopar guy from Canada but I do like Camaros and I go to Florida quite a bit. What area did you buy that Camaro in?

      I explain it all in the video, you must have just fast forwarded to the car 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Thanks for the comment brother, appreciate the engagement 👍👍

  • @johnmilner7603
    @johnmilner7603 Před 4 dny

    LOL, the VIN is not on the cowl tag. Stick to Mopars. Take note that there are engine builders out there that will keep your steel crank and substitute it with a cast and you’ll never know it until the next time it needs to be taken apart. The bad thing about the engine rebuild, I don’t think they installed a 30/30 cam in it. In 74 I bought a 68 Z28 for $3,000 and a friend of mine is the current owner.

    • @ChasingMusclecars_Mopars5150
      @ChasingMusclecars_Mopars5150  Před 4 dny

      You misunderstood the conversation. I explain how the cowl “tag” has no vin, Tony reiterates that he is referring to the “cowl stamp” which is the vin stamping to the body. Some have been know to rebody these cars so it’s important to check and make sure that vin stamping matches. Ask us how we know 😂 we bought one, didn’t know to check and unfortunately that #s matching 396 4 speed is just a nice Restomod with a donor body. Learning curve we check that now which is what he was doing at that moment. Thanks for the comment 🍻

  • @infocusentertainment2944

    So how much did it cost? I been looking too but everything's in the 100 thousand range. My weekend car is a mopar

  • @everettnantz9544
    @everettnantz9544 Před 5 dny +1

    I've watched you guys from day one...the comment Troy had about not the channel if you are strictly Mopar sound like he don't appreciate the viewers they can watch or not,arrogance has been the ruination of a lot of car shows! Don't get to big for your britches ole boy! Hear me talkin to ya!

    • @AaronTexeira
      @AaronTexeira Před 5 dny +1

      Clearly you heard that all wrong and you see no arrogance in the way he treats people. All he was saying is that it’s fine if you’re a “Mopar or no car” but they are not that. Try not to be so sensitive.

    • @ChasingMusclecars_Mopars5150
      @ChasingMusclecars_Mopars5150  Před 5 dny +2

      I think that may have come across wrong. What I meant was if your looking for a page that’s only Mopar that’s not us and as you’re heard in other videos I say all the time that I appreciate those guys, that’s just not me as I love all the Muscle cars. We’ve had several comments about showing non Mopars and I’m just being upfront, we chase all Muscle cars, we just love Mopar’s the most. We appreciate all our subscribers. Thanks for watching & more important thanks for commenting 👍

    • @ChasingMusclecars_Mopars5150
      @ChasingMusclecars_Mopars5150  Před 5 dny +1

      Btw 😂 the next 2 episodes are all about Mopar’s 👍

    the Z/28 is the most overrated musclecar ever made.
