Man I wish I would have known about this I've got a 500 Nissan Altima that I've been driving for 3 years it's a 6 speed manual 3.5 l and it will fly and I've only ever had power steering and brake rubber hose issues
It took 10 to get 1 running and driving with n interior... they weren't... what's the word .... reliable .. they were a product of the 80s mullets and sideburns on dicks
500 for ford ranger 😅
$900 for a 92 z28 running and driving? I'll take 10!
It's worth way more than that that's almost giving it away the deal of a lifetime
I paid $850 for a 1991 Geo Prizm and drove it from Florida to Iowa and back 3 times before the transmission went out.
I paid $250 for my 85 z28, all original, 124k miles, runs and drives. Interior was a little rough, and needed a tune up. Thats it. Deals exist. And frankly the 4th gen f-body was never that great, or sought after, or collectable... they are a dime a dozen. I gave my 84 berlinetta away for free cuz it was a turd.
Also, thats not an LS. Its the last generation of the SBC, know as the LT1. It is the predecessor of the LS, but a long way from performing like one. And it does not have a 4l60e in it. It has a TH400 or TH350 unless it was modified.
@@kennethatteberry6757 it's not even that it is a TPI tuned port injection that is the final year for that motor
That Camaro is a steal. You've got people selling those in that condition or worse for over $4k. The fact that it's mechanically sound enough for what it went through, makes it the real winner for me.
what it went through? a short drive and a single 0-60 run?
They didn't get that Camaro for 900 bucks😅
2:52 but I thought point was 500$ ?
You guys are lucky to be down south. Here in Michigan, a $500 car would be unsafe because of the amount of rust it would have.
Lol, only way to get that cheap of a vehicle in michigan is either no title or completely rusted to hell
Never stopped us in the Black Hills. 10 times more dangerous, still ran around in $500 cars. Nearly rolled one on a mountain.
Granted we had to use lots of plastic to fill the rust holes in the winter.
Same here In Massachusetts
A $1,000 car in 2022 would not be safe because it’s missing either an engine or transmission.
@@LegendStormcrow oh I feel. My Taurus has 0 floor basically, no rockers, no pinch welds either.
Grandpa is instantly my favorite
We all know who won. It was definitely Grandpa he had the most fun. He raced around in cammaro, had a solo adventure, and got flashed by a beautiful women.
Honestly, this was a lot of fun to watch. It’s has really good editing and clean shots. It is also nice to see normal people out having fun. Everyone was genuine. My only advice would be to simply how you present the points system. Explaining it multiple times isn’t necessary. Maybe a chart you can display to show everything. Either way, I really enjoyed it. Keep it up
Thanks for the feedback, we will definitely keep that in mind moving forward. Glad you enjoyed!
Agreed too much time on points system (its over thought ) and beat them cars a little harder. ! Still following. Cool content.
Love this frr
Wow props to the film/editing crew for the BEAUTIFUL shots of these hoopties. And for making it feel like an old top gear challenge
I love these cheap older car challenge videos except when one of the cars is the same make and model as my daily driver. And four years newer!
😂
I bought one of these just to learn to drive a standard, and plan on dailying it too. His Ranger is 8 years newer, but with worse headlights.
His actually looks better than mine, and my body is near perfect.
When I saw the thumbnail, I was like, “Wait a minute…”
The vehicle lineup has to be a reference to the top gear alabama episode!
$500 car challenge. Pretty much describes my 20's
Yeah but a $500 car was just a normal perfectly fine car back in the ‘90s. Buy an old early 80s full size GM for years & years of trouble free.
@@matt8151
For me it was a little earlier than that. I mostly found chevettes and pintos. I did find a grand prix that was a great car. Luckily I knew how to work on them so I could keep them going.
Had to get out and tap the carburetor because it was flooding on my first car
We were supposed to stop this in our 20’s?
Radiates Top Gear energy in a good way. With a classic CZcams spin to it. Lovely content.
Except with more respect towards the car😂🤣😭
Fantastic. That's what we were hoping for. Thanks for the support!
They pretty much chose the itsact same cars as the UK,s Top Gear did in America
@@mangotail6808 besides the buick
Watched for the camaro, subbed for the hijinks. That looked like a blast!
You guys deserve way more subs then you have.. let's hope 2023 gives you guys a huge growth! This was amazing fun to watch and very good production as well!
Thanks for the support man!
This is a pretty damn good production for fewer than 10k subs. I think that number is gonna be jumping by a bunch - cheers from NY Edit: that Z28 could be seriously nice with a good restoration, I love the spec
Thank you! We appreciate it; our film crew works hard to make our videos awesome. And, yes, absolutely. Grandpa plans to keep working on it more!
As someone who owns a 2004 lesabre I hope it wins just because how reliable it's been for me (besides the cursed air suspension)
Those LeSabres are awesome, Buick is so slept on
20 min truck air shocks fill em and problem solved 👌 😉
That Camero is still awesome. Having it on the streets, no matter what shape it's in, is a win to me. 😎
Hell yeah!
Was the Camaro a 305 or 350TPI? A 350TPI should have done 0-60 in about 6 seconds.
@@mikee2923 350
As a 3rd gen specialist allow me to correct you that is a L98 not an LS or an LT. The Lt was available in the 92 corvette but not the Camaro until 1993. However it’s a nice car for 900
L98 if it's a 350
Either way it is a TPI motor.
Man i love all yall's personalities, a rare find in the auto community! keep killing it!!
Thank you, sir!
As someone that owns a 03 buick lesabre
Just shows that the grandpa car is worth every penny ranging from 500 to 4k because its reliable spacious easy to maintain not mechanically difficult and its got one of the best V6's ever made in car history GM 3.8liter or we like to call it the 3800 series 2 im actually glad it won and was shown because the buick lesabre needs to be recognized on how great they are they are very heavily slept on and in my opinion they were the last sedans ever made before GM nor any company went to shit
i just now realize you have under 10k subscribers and yet the cinematography, the quality is by far better then channels 10x bigger than this!! keep it up! can't wait to see where this goes!
god save the queen :v
I loved that Buick I had a Bonneville with the 3800 and I can personally vouch that they can take a beating
@@clayton5229yes but it had a Buick engine
That 3800 in the pubic le-saab-ray is a bullet proof motor that gm rode on until emissions and fuel economy restriction made it obsolete
fuel economy was pretty good on the 3800.....over 30mpg highway
The Ranger won the non existent jump competition !!
Yes it did!
@@GrumpyMonkeyGarage The Ford actually won't everything. Go back and count it again. The Ford got a 101 points and the buick only 98 points.
I love all the shenanigans going on in this video, all of it was really well shot especially for a smaller channel, I love to see this keep up the good work guys!
I’m going to come out and say it buddy if you keep these type of videos up your going to be huge. Great editing and honest people keep it up guys
Thank you! We appreciate it.
If you can recreate that nostalgia from top gear which your doing well so far, you may be able to attract sponsors allowing you to possibly travel to interesting places or allow for a modification budget. Maybe try reaching out? I’m not sure I just know this video was very enjoyable ❤
I look forward to seeing this channel grow! Love the vid. Glad i found this and i hope you guys continue to keep doing this!
It's really cool that you all are involved!!!🎉🎉🎉
Loved it, I think the cold start challenge should be judged by number of times it hits the compression stroke before starting, that way that Camaro gets credit where due haha
$500 car challenge .....
Camaro guy: I paid $900 for it.
Came here to say that smh 🤦♀️ should be 1,000 cheap car challenge
This a type of thing I’ve wanted to do for years… esp with that budget. Dope…thanks for entertainment
Thank YOU!
Watching rob try to speed shift that ranger is hysterical cause my 94 does the same shit and have actually lost a race to a diesel beetle because I missed third lol
This channel it’s going to blow up I’m glad I’ll. Be here for the ride
The Algorithm did a great job recommending this video and channel! I love this type of stuff and love seeing videos from Georgia!
We're so glad to hear that! Welcome to the Grumpy family; we're happy to have you.
I could watch these every day. Brings me back to the og top gear days with clakson may an hammond. Awesome stuff. New sub here
We are so glad to hear that! Thanks for the comment (and for joining the Grumpy family!)
Super great quality! Enjoyed this video. Y’all are going to get big!
Glad to hear it! Thanks!
Quality is so good y’all gonna blow up quick
These are fun as hell to watch prolly hella more fun actually competing. Nice video gentlemen
Thanks! Yes, we had a great time. Thank you for the support; we're glad you enjoyed it.
This quality it 10/10. Subscribed within 5 minutes of the video! Cant believe you don't have more subs. Can't wait for more content
Thanks, man! Welcome to the Grumpy family.
I’m only at 14:03 and I’m like “Why the hell do you have so little subs?” This is top quality, TV worthy, entertaining content. Subbed. Not sure the interview jump cuts are my favourite, I do prefer a good Top Gear/Grand Tour VO but the actual meat of the show so far is *chefs kiss*.
Coming out with a new episode with vast improvement soon!
@@GrumpyMonkeyGarage Look forward to it!
The Z28 is a TPI 305 or 350 with a 700R4.
350 car and its a 4l60 with no E. It's the same as a 700r4 just a nomenclature change by gm
Went through newborn I passed by the Camaro excited seeing y’all love the videos guys I’m 23 but the 92 Camaro is exact replica of mine except my paint is cleaner and I make 800hp lol on street but can’t wait see more like this hope to ketch y’all on one stop one day stay blessed
Thanks for the support! See you out there!
You guys just earned a new subscriber. This whole thing felt like a love letter to Top Gear.
That Camaro had either an Lb9 or a L98
Has L98.
$500 challenge *buys $900 car* 😑
Exactly dog 😂😂
I get old school Top Gear (British version) vibes and I loved this video. Keep up the great content. Sub’ed!
Reminded me of the British American top gear special
What I see is good friends enjoying life together!!!!👍👍👍
Wrenching with Grandpa plus 50 for cool and power factor.....But Raven is a priceless addition for the cute sweet n sexy factor.
"if my lightsaber turns purple call somebody?" lmfao
that camaro had quite a bit left in it even after 30years
This was wonderful!
I'm all here for it. Thanks for the vidja. I'll subscribe
The Lesabre, is my favorite.
favorite channal fs
8:21 Hilarious analogy 😂
That Camaro is unreal!! Great video
Very top gear!! Love it
So I’m automatically pulling for grampa in the 92!!! - I have a 92!!!
Aye same here, whatching this in my 92
Very fun style you guys have. Really entertaining video!
Thank you! Hope you'll stick around for the next one!
Well done guys! I miss the Top Gear style cheap car challenges. Earned another sub!
I lived around Taos NM for a year and change, and just by my first person experience... The Buick is a BEAST.
How in the Hell you only have 9k subs? You deserve so much more!
Love from Portugal.
Obrigado!
I love redneck Top Gear!
I’d love to have the 92 camaro
That Camaro has a lot of potential
Plz continue this series 🙏 😂
Good watch. Y'all have a good videographer and editor on the team.
Thank you! We'll let them know! Thanks for the support!
Man having owned a ‘92 z28 L98 and a ford ranger this will be hard. Buicks back when it was actually a Buick would be my bet though. And cmon, that’s not even an LT motor in that camaro it’s all SBC, detuned vette motor. Not that much power but a lot of low end torque!
Heck yeah need more of these lol
Those Ford 2.3L Lima engines, I've had lots. The big problem I had with them was connecting rod bearings. You'll probably never encounter the problem on a short test like that. Every time one went to scrap it was because of a rod bearing. Otherwise, it's one of my favorite 4 cyl engines.
I can tell the host watches vice grip garage, the three finger hand movements, saying the phrase "so i did the right thing" and I think one other thing too but i forget what it was but yea definitely a vice grip fan i know one when i see one lol
The EvilBay.
@@DerrickRG YES that thing, thank you lol I couldn't remember what it was that he said
My first and current car is a 2000 lesabre and theyve got a suprising amount of power behind them, aswell as being incredibly comfortable and great on fuel
how the fuck did grandpa find that Camaro for so cheap
The “Hey Raven” at the beginning caught me so off guard as I thought for a sec you were talking to me lol😂
Well, hey, Raven from CZcams! Haha, that's pretty funny.
The Camaro was the clear winner 🏆 in my book
29:38 where can we get the front camera view
u gotta pay for that
@@ravenacacia7109 👀👀👀
Hell I’d pay for that 😂
Top gear .. the original English one did something like this .. they had a Camaro RS, an old boat caddy and a dodge regular cab ram. They went from Florida to Texas or something.
Anyway, hey you guys are new.. I like your style.
10,000 dollar tool bill😂😂😂😂 my box was 15,000 😂😂😂😂.. Loved the video😁
hope to see you guys succeed in CZcams!
Awesome video I drive a 1995 2.3 5 speed manual transmission Ford ranger and its held the test of time mist reliable vehicle I ever had plan on putting a 302 down in it
Ive had a 302 and 2 351’s you’ll be disappointed with an old 5.0 but than again now i want the 460 so perhaps the little tiny is best to stay with
That looked like a lot of fun. Check out the $3000 Budget build that HotRodGuyGarage is doing. Maybe if you do this one again, let me know. I would definitely be down. Thanks.
When he is around the fire explaining the point system... He reminds me of a redneck Ed Bolian 🤣 great video 👍
I'm surprised yall found anything for under $500
Wait did they spend $500 grandpa said he was in close to $1000
As soon as I saw a 3rd gen Camaro in this challenge I was a bit skeptical. Not sure a 3rd gen Camaro should really be in a 500$ hooptie challenge.
We love your videos!
Raven is such a Fox.
Underrated channel great video
Thanks for the support!
16:56 this girl thought she was going to get burned from the exhaust after the truck being on for 1 second lol
You all have the charasma and chemistry to make some great Top Gear/Grand Tour style content. Amazon should give you all a show.
I can't even find a car for 1000 here lol
just be careful if you do, I got an 1100 dollar car and it made it the ~500 km drive home, drive mint for 3 weeks, and decided it wants a front end rebuild
I got that truck as an '86. Darn good truck if you can find parts. Wish I could find them for your price, but my Ranger has the OG glass headlights. Glass headlights are bright.
Calling it before we get going, the Ranger is going to do what Rangers do, and work just to spite the opposition. It also might not make 60. I don't have overdrive, so my top isn't the 75 of the highway.
Edit: He got to 60 pretty dang quick. If he had drivin it more he would have learned the shifting better and won. Also, if he had the 2.9 V6 he would have won.
2.9L Ranger is not touching a small block. I had the lowest powered 305 (like 165 hp) in a G20 conversion van and wore my buddies much newer 3.0L Ranger out everytime he raced it.
@@chrisreynolds6520 Why the hell was he racing with a 3.0? That's meant for light utility work, not racing.
@@LegendStormcrow Because we wanted to. I have seen soccer moms take their stock Expedition down the 1/4 mile and take out guys in bracket racing as well. Does not have to be fast, just have to beat the guy next to you and not break out or if you breakout you have to breakout less than the other vehicle you are running.
@@chrisreynolds6520 fair enough.
You can’t buy any used vehicle here in Alberta for under 1500 regardless of the condition. Everyone thinks they own the rarest most sought after vehicle ever 😂
Dude my 05 allure sat for 2 months with the battery connected in -10c and below and started first try no problem, they ain’t finicky
Wish could find a running and driving, not so rusty ranger here. Sadly Minnesota
Lots of fun! Hope to see more Shenanigans! Nice to see a channel grow. Subbed.
Thanks! Already planing the next one!
15:35 that's the goodhope general store and that's literally 2 miles from my house. So wow great video guys lol
I’m a panther platform fan. Definitely a used gasoline vehicle guy for life.
More of these kinds of torture tests.
I was delivering packages for Amazon in a 293k miles 96 Lexus until I lost all compression in cylinder one. Was gonna find an engine since they are 400 bucks in good shape all day long. But then it got mildly rear ended and I don’t have space for multiple eye sore cars.
I have a couple videos up of it still doing work when it lost all compression in cylinder one
28:33 The 4T65 in that has a 1st gear that goes to like 55MPH, that Buick shifted at 40.
That ranger is a 2500-3000 truck here lmao
