I've been itching for a second gen Camaro for quite a while, and Mr. Larry gave me the opportunity to buy his beloved '79 as long as I brought it back to him for a ride once I got it up and running again. Think we can bring this car back to its former glory to show off for the original owner? Stick around for the transformation!

Hope you guys enjoyed this video! Thank you everyone for watch Larry’s story. Have a car with a cool story that needs help? Send it to mccoolgives@gmail.com
How old is the older man?
Very nice car and story 👍
If something was to ever happen to me, I would want a young man like yourself Dylan to have my car and keep it going. Excellent video and i wish nothing but the best for you sir.
Not all stories of cars end like this! Thank you for saving it and enabling the original owner to share in the love of these wonderful machines! Very well done and can’t wait to see what you do with this one.
Now I am kicking myself for getting rid of my dad's 91 Ford Aerostar Eddie Bauer edition and having you make it a Road-steration great video to watch after being fired from my job Monday
What a wonderful story...You made that man's day, that's for sure. Have to say, this is the best revival will it run I've watched among all the channels I follow...Thank you Dylan for bringing such an amazing story, and bringing some joy to a very deserving man.
With you 💯👍
Amen
@MariaCanccer hang in there...perseverance will prevail in the end
Correction: You have to be McSafe before you can be McCool.

@@kathleencarter5989 Ayo?
I have a new level of respect for you not only as a mechanic but as a man. You brought joy to a man that is obviously dealing with a tremendous amount of suffering. I pray that your channel doubles in subscribers and you can continue to be successful. Great work Dylan!
You're a good man Dylan. It's great that he got to enjoy the car one more time.
The best part of this video was seeing the smile on his face as he got to ride in his old car. God bless you for giving a smile to an old man and Car lover like Larry.
This teared me up a little, seeing Larry enjoy his old car again. For some folks, a car is just transportation, but for others, it is part of their spirit, or personality. God bless Larry and you Dylan for bringing his Camaro back from oblivion.
What a truly heartwarming video Dylan. The best part was seeing you with the previous owner enjoying the drive together. I hope he found a lot of peace and comfort doing that. Hands down the best resto video I've ever seen. I love hearing your plans for the future with the car. Those old Camaros take me back to my childhood which made it even more special. Great bible scripture at the end too. God bless you Dylan McCool! 🙏
Dylan, I've been doing mechanics for 30+ years. It's rare to come across a car like this. It's something that I feel you should get blessed with over, and over. To see his smile, by itself, makes every minute you spent on it, all worth it. I knew you're a Christian and your folks should be so proud of the man you're becoming. I've admired your work and it's given me a lot of hope for young people. You're a talented young man. I wish my own kids would take notice of how hard you work. I know first hand, how difficult waking an old car up is. There's a lot of different schools of thought about where to take the car. A Camaro of this vintage, deserves a good, healthy small block 400, good cam, a square bore carb, long tubes, maybe rebuild the trans. A good set of aluminum heads, like Brodix or AFR's. But I also get it's your car. Just my two cents. Again, good job on holding up to your end of the deal.
You can genuinely hear that gentleman's voice perk up the more y'all drove around. It clearly gave him some much deserved strength. Don't be surprised if you hear stories from his family about how he talked for days on end about that one simple gesture of a ride on a sunny day. You made your family, fans and followers proud.
What a great story, so much more than just a car revival. Your kindness and new friendship with Mr. Larry was so heartwarming. You have a good heart as well as a caring and loving spirit. You really are special. Thanks for sharing your time and adventures with us. Peace
Very cool that you could take the Mr. Larry for a ride and let him see what you are doing with it. I could tell by the look on his face that he thoroughly enjoyed it. God Bless!
I absolutely loved the last two videos on the 79 Camaro. That car is very close to my heart. My first car was a 1978 that had the exact same engine only difference it was a type LT and a four-speed manual. I owned it for six years and took me through high school and college. Keep up the great videos on this car. Would be looking forward to seeing more on it.
Praying for Larry. That's a very cool thing you have done. Take care and God bless!
You allowed a man by the end of his journey a truly happy moment enabling him to make a reference back to his most cherished past days. Emotionally not an easy thing to do... It displays though that behind some YT-Profiles live genuinely good people with a lot of heart. Knowing that makes my day. God bless you Dylan McCool.
Nice work Dylan. What a cool story. Glad the owner was willing to share his time and memories with us all in your video. 👍 Thanks!
Thank you for continuing the car's legacy with a final drive with the previous owner. May he have peace in his final days and may you continue to care for this beautiful car. Peace!
Your a good man Dylan , it’s not easy seeing a cherished vehicle leave , but knowing it’s has a new lease of life is a great thing . I hope you keep that car for a long time 😊
You Sir McCool moved me to tears doing this for Mr Larry
Dylan I would like to say God bless you for being a good man and being there for Larry. I love your channel and keep on doing what you're doing 👍✌️🇺🇲
You made that old man very very happy and proud
You have done amazing things with this car. I'm really glad that the original owner got to enjoy the ride as well, he seemed to like it. Keep up the good work!
Ahh man! The 2nd gen Camaros are my all-time favorite car. My dream is a '70 with a high-comp 396
She really cleaned up quite well. It warms my heart to see you give the pervious owner a good show, and enjoy the car again. Having lost my grandfather from cancer, I know that time can be of the essence, so I'm ecstatic you were able to pull it off for him.
That baby cleaned up beautiful..nice job Dylan...Prayers for Mr. Larry.
Bro I saw one of your videos on Facebook and stopped by your channel a couple weeks ago. I’ve never been into anything with cars! Now I love watching your videos! I love How you put Bible verses in the description! God Bless man❤️
Excellent video, Dylan. It was so great to see the original owner re-experience his car with all the new upgrades.
Huge amount of respect from this video, you're a good dude doing good deeds in a world of hate and division.
Also as a long time F body owner (have had my 88 IROC for 17 years now, first car) it looks to me like you're hooked.
F bodies aren't for everybody, but for some they become a way of life.
Mine was always incredibly reliable also and never let me down before I restored and LS swapped it.
The original 305 leaked and burned every fluid you put in it, but it never ever let me down.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Dylan for resurrecting the car and wishing Mr.Larry all the very best. Wholesome content. 🇬🇧 🇺🇲
Beautiful old Camaro. I can not tell you how many friends and relatives had these back int he day.... Thanks for bringing it back to life.
Man, this hits close to home. My mother just passed away, and she had a 79 Ralley Sport, was beautiful. Sat outside for years though, so it was pretty rough. But I got it running for her before she left us, and sadly we sold it down the line to a good friend. Who's mom loves Camaros just as much, so luckily it's at a good home, and we know where it is.
My buddy has been doing the restoration on it for the last few years, and it's really close. Just wish my mom was able to see it done. But she will up in heaven, where she's not in pain any more.
Thanks for another great video, with a sad, but great story, and meaning behind it. God speed Larry.
I do love hearing you share the faith in your videos. Great stuff mate
What's cool is this body style is not restored or even seen revived that much not sure why but love this style. They didn't fare that well here in western PA< me old man took many to their final resting place, floors just rotted out so bad. Love the refirb.
Mr Larry is blessed to have a "friend" like you.
Love these camaro's, but more importantly, is your willingness to share your faith online. Bless you Dylan.
It's a great thing the older generation of gear heads and the newer generation of gear heads coming together!!!
Not many words exchanged but they both let car speak for them !!!
This was a tear jerker for me what a beautiful camaro and beautiful story your a special person dylan I believe you blessed the original owner of it im happy he got to see it and ride in it and know its in a great new home god bless
nice job! Simply amazing Dylan! Is so nice to see a young guy with your amount of knowledge and skill. You should use this car for the next HRPT. much love from indiana!
Definitely going to need a part 3 on this car!
I recently (last December) lost my wife of almost 32 years to colorectal cancer. To see that sweet old fella smiling so big to see his old car fixed up, left me sobbing. There's not so much to smile about near the end, but you sure made him happy, and blessed him beyond measure.
Thank you for sharing this with us all, all me and my wife could say was your like God's mechanic, you really made that man's day, as well as ours keep up the good work sending love and prayers from us all here in England x
Love your videos Dylan, been waiting for this one
Something that’s really great about your videos is that you show the more difficult repairs but bypass a lot of the simple “Putting back together” process. Love this car!
This was awesome 👌 especially when you took the original owner for a ride i know he was so happy
What was the drill attachment you used on the white letter tires? Worked great!
Update the suspension with new bushings and new shocks with new tires and you will have a nice handling and fairly fast car. You can order nearly everything for the interior these days. Add another trim ring and new center caps and it will look fantastic.
I really liked this one. The ride at the end said it all. My hats off to you for taking him on that ride.
Wow Dylan, what a nice car, and a wonderful story attached to her. You could see the joy in Mr. Larry's face as you guys were cruising down the road and what more could you ask for. This was a great series so far, can't wait to see what you have in store for it! Cheers.
Great video that was very kind of you, you truly made Larry's day! I had a 79 Camaro dark blue 350 auto it had an 80 z28 hood I put on it, bought it in 1984 and in 2001 when my wife and I were buying our home I told James our realtor I was selling the Camaro for the down payment and he said he wanted it, so it was our down payment for our home. LOVED every minute of driving that car. We hope you enjoy that beauty for many years to come.
Holy crap I'm early it's a good day when you upload videos Man
thank you Dylan for reminding me that I was young once, I had 78 camaro same white color with blue interior back when I was in my 20's, I enjoyed all your works, you are what we call in Texas good people, thanks for being kind to previous owner
My HS car was a 79 Camero “Berlinetta” edition. Drove that thing to hell and back. Air shocks, fat tires, louvers and of corse a set of Keystone classics. This brought back a ton of memories, thanks for saving it.
Awesome video Dylan! I hope to see an update on this one if/when you do some more fixes or upgrades. Interior could use a little help and it would make a world of difference. God bless!
But of course I don't have a real license I just have a learner's permit
What a lovely story. This is more than just about the camaro revival. Great job Dylan. 👍
Been holding off from subscribing for a while. After seeing this video and how you treated a person with a very heavy burden, I am a subscriber. Very nice story. Well done.
GOD BLESS YOU DYLAN, CHRIST SMILED UPON YOU FOR YOU TAKING MR LARRY FOR A DRIVE! MUCH RESPECT FROM DOWN UNDER.
Awesome video with the prior owner!! The world needs more people like you Dylan!! 👏
Bless you, Dylan, for bringing this man some joy as he nears the end of his life.
Hey Dylan, I'm watching your revivals from France. The story of that one make me really happy. It's a beautiful story, you're a really good person. Thanks for that
Dylan. Of the revival videos available on RUclips, this is the most touching one I can think of, this includes my own. I’m glad the previous owner agreed to come on camera. You did a great thing and brought him a day of peace, comfort joy and happiness. You are a good host but an even better person. I’ve done over a dozen revivals in my lifetime and the most special is when the previous owner gets to see their former car they cared about brought back to life. I got a 65 Galaxie from the original owner that received it as a wedding present in lieu of a wedding reception. I Got it in 2009, he got to see me start it for the first time since 1979 and drive it on the trailer. I chose to repaint it to match the 65 Galaxie my grandfather had. Unfortunately by the time I had it back on the road and repainted, the original owner had passed away however the grandson has seen it and took a bunch of pictures and shared it with the family. I wish he could have seen it. I still have it and it’s my power tour plan B. Maybe you’ll bring the Camaro on power tour, I’d love to see it in person. Lastly congratulations on your upcoming daughter. Aaron.
I appreciate that You won't trash it, She's good the way she is.
God bless you, Dylan for bringing that 79 Camaro back to life and making the previous owner smile again.🇨🇦🇺🇸👍❤️
Love this video. You are now my favorite you tuber! I feel you are more regular guy than anyone else, and will watching all your videos. God bless!
God bless you on this project, Dillon. The sight of Larry being able to be out in that car made a good Roadsteration even better.
What a great story and video. You did well Dylan!
Bless you, Dylan for taking care to give the gentleman his memories 😊..
That was cool of you to do that for that man and give him a rude in his car again like that! You could tell younreally lifted his spirits! What a genuine kind thing to do!
Well done Dylan. I was 21 years old when this was brand new and remember them well. Enjoy your time with it and be proud of the message it represents. Peace, my friend.
God bless you brother not only did you bring the car back to life but you made his day .
Another great job young man! I really enjoy your videos and your spiritual passages that you read with the work you do is very respectful and refreshing. Well done.👍
Probably not a typical comment, but wow, the thought that went into finding the right music for this video... felt like I was in yhe 80's, in all the best ways. You rock Mr. McCool!
I was jamming while editing 😂
What a wonderful reason to bring a Barn Fined Camaro back to life and surprise the ailing former owner! I remember having a Camaro similar to this one, when I was younger, so you not only surprised the former owner, but you also brought back a lot of memories to me as well! Thank you!
The last few minutes of your video really touched me. I watched the love of my life go out that way. It's great that you could give him a few minutes of joy. Blessings to you and your family. Thank you...
Hello Dylan
I am from Germany and I love your attempts with the old cars. To bring the car back to the previous owner and give him a final ride is heart warming. Thank you for doing such things.
Hey Dylan, I've built a handful of these cars and think this was one of your better videos. I would have made a few different repair choices on the car, however its great to see young (Christian) men like yourself working on these old cars and sharing your car projects with the rest of us. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video in particular as it inspired me to drive the car I bought almost a year ago. I bought a 4th generation 1st year Trans Am in very good condition for the price I paid. Like your Camaro, my car needs cosmetic cleanup and small repairs. I planned on buying all kinds of performance improvements and putting a little “Lipstick” on the outside. Real is, I only need to get the seat’s fixed to get them comfortable and looking better. Just have fun with it, I’m disabled and truthfully I probably couldn’t do the work anyway. “God Bless You” for the kindness you showed for the previous owner. You are truly a good guy!
Dylan, you are literally my favorite person on the tube. I learn so much from you, and I've been working on cars for 16 years. I don't know everything and never will, but it's so refreshing to learn something new everytime I watch a video of yours. And I love that you are giving life to other vehicles besides mopars. As you see in my picture on here, I have an 80 Z28 which we've owned since April of 94, I was 3 and a half. It's my pride and joy and is a survivor. One day I will restore It, but I love driving it. It's not fast, but it sounds good and it's a fantastic cruiser. So needless to say I'm in love with seeing this car and hopefully see more! I love your Bible verses in each video description too, it's like a daily devotional everytime a new video comes out. I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but if you ever want to sell this 79, let me know. I would love to add it next to my 80. God bless brother and take care
**EDIT** We've had multiple 80-81 Z28S my whole life. My dad had a black 81 and a blue 80 and my late mother had a blue 81 Z28 4 speed before I was born. And then in the early 2000s we bought a red 80 with 27k original miles and then in 2013 we bought a grey 81 Z28 with 8k original documented miles that my dad sold in 2015. Needless to say these are my favorite cars and I just love the styling and lines and especially the Z28s with the front lower spoiler and the air induction hood and the stripe kit. Mine is a fairly low optioned car built in Norwood and spent the first 10 years in Marion Ohio and then we bought it in 94 and we've had it ever since. Solid roof car with the deluxe custom cloth interior and the N90 wheels but no ac no t tops none of that.
Well done D , glad he let you film him too. God bless him.
So kind and cool of you to remember him when you got it rolling again 👍🏼👍🏼
That was so nice of you to let him enjoy the car ride for one more time. 😊
Love it! I had a 1978 from 1992-1997, then bought a 1995. Now, I own a 1999 and a 2012. Love Camaros. Such a shame every time Chevy stops making them.
Nice to see the previous owner riding his old car, your a good man👍👍
When you hit the twilight of your driving life, you look for your comfort or memory car or truck. I would like to have that same smile on my face on my last drive..as I did on my first. Blessings y'all.
Good on ya Dylan! You’ve done the right thing, brought a smile to the original owners face. He’s happy about where His Car is. He knows you will take care of it. Well done! And, thank you for taking us along.
You're a gentleman and you did a really nice thing for a man who needed kindness. Thank you.
Wow, watching this video brought back a lot of old memories for me. I was born in 70, first car I bought at 16 was a 77 camaro, learned a lot from having that car. Next 10 years I ended up owning many different years of Camaros, 78,79,80 ,82 Firebird, 86 Iroc, 88 ,89 Camaro sold my last Camaro in 05 when my last son was born and just recently last year bought a 2013 LT with 56k miles on it. That is a nice barn find, hope you enjoy it.
What a beautiful story brother, nice of you to do that for Larry! 🙏
This story made me think of a passage from the John McRae poem "In Flanders Field".
"To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high."
@mariacanceri "Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; Walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that for all these God will bring you into judgment." ~ Ecclesiastes 11:9
Stay strong....miracles happen every day.
Makes me feel good that you were able to take it back for Larry to see and go for a ride. God bless
Having a 1980 myself as a daily driver I must say, this revival pumps me up to use mine even more. Use the hell outta that car man, hope we cross paths one day in our 'maros.
God Bless you, Dylan for adding some Joy to Mr Larry's life by your kind gesture of including him in this video. And, finally: God Bless you, Mr Larry...I hope & pray that you are saved by the blood of the Lamb! I lost my Mom almost 19 yrs ago to the Scourge known as cancer.. Go rest HIGH on that Mountain, Sir...GodSpeed!!
I would love another 79. I had one back in 90. So hard to find a good one for decent price. Nothing better than being able to get one back on the road and help a sick owner live his dream again. Best of luck on this journey and hope we get to see the man get his wish soon.
You hit it out of the park on this one! A muscle car barn find with style. I think the owner before you was real happy with the work and the ride.
Amazing the orginal owner was able to see it and take a drive in it and I'm glad it made him smile and brought back amazing memories great video as always @Dylan McCool
That was so awesome of you to take the car back to the old owner to show him the car. you can tell he loved it hope to see more videos on this car
That was really cool how you give him a ride in it again
Cleaned up good. Made that Man's day to give Him a ride. Knew You where a Good Man the day I met You. Mopar Nats. Columbus Ohio. Just before covid hit. I recognized that Duster You had. Met Your Dad too. Another Good Man. Keep up the goodness You possess.
Do not underestimate what a clay bar will do for the paint and remove a lot of crap off the paint. Awesome video Dylan, was terrific to see the original owner get to go for a ride. Was easy to see that he truly loved that car. A really good thing that you did. God is going to bless you for your kindness to him.
Ah yes, back to 79, a good friend bought the same make and model. Food for thought, check the differential. After 2 years, the rear started to grind when it got hot. Doesn't hurt to check.
Well done that Man for returning to the former owner and giving him some good ole memories 😊
