My wife and I had the privilege of getting a personal tour of the Kramers place of business. Jim and JW are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I love what they are doing with the historic cars. See you guys soon.
Max Wedge Cars, A990's, Altered Wheelbase Cars & one of a kind Race Cars it doesn't get any better than this. Over the years I can't thank Jim enough for all he's done to help me in my 1965 Plymouth A-990 project.
Over the years I have bought lots of parts from Jim kramer. Thank you Jim for having the foresight to keep them from the scrap yard. Also thanks for doing this video. I always bought the parts at swap meats or he sent them to me. He has a great car collection that needs to be seen.
Such an honor to consider Jim and JW friends. HUGE supporters of what we do at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals each and every year too! Awesome video.
Really enjoyed this video! Great to see this history being preserved. I had a 71 demon 340 when I came back from Vietnam. Wish I would have bought some cool Dodges back in the day. Hindsight is always 20/20!
Such great guys ....wow. I learned so much new interesting stuff and i loved how clean & neat absolutely every car was ! The stories how he got the cars were all great !!
After my accident, in 98, I lived in Pottstown PA with my sister getting myself back together, and everybody after that. And around that time when I lived up there cruise on high Street. Years past and I started catching glympse hearing more about this gentleman I hope one day I get the opportunity to meet him, An,son. Thank you again for sharing..
I went to keystone with my older brother back in the late 70s. I don't remember that barracuda but I do remember the Miller Bros barracuda. And that car was the one that made me a huge Mipar fanatic. I used to hang out with all the old school drivers like Carl Shoddy, Bruce Bowman, Romeo DeBlasio and Andy Varna. I can still remember cars like Baker's Delight which was a Belvedere. Carl's Steel City Wedge, Romeo's 70 Roadrunner, Bruce's Super bee and Andy's 442. Also other cars like Staying Alive, The King, The Count, The Alaskan(dragster), and the Mad Ratter. And let's not forget Gauls Speed Shop Nova. All great cars as well as great memories. Romeo had several Mopars that included his 70 Roadrunner, 68 Barracuda, 69 Barracuda, 70 AAR Cuss, 62 Valiant and his drove a 65 Hemi Belvedere. My mother used to date Romeo so is was able to see those beautiful cars on a regular basis. My favorite was his Roadrunner. Sorry this was so long, but hearing him speak about Keystone just brought back a lot of memories. I recently purchased a 2016 Challenger Hellcat..... My dream car. Thanks for sharing your cars with us!!!!
That is some of the coolest yard art, I could stare at that stuff for hours For a bunch of cars that cost a dollar that’s gotta be one of the best 4-5 dollar collections I’ve ever seen!
I got to meet Jim a few years ago. I needed the correct exhaust manifolds for a 1969 Charger with a 440. I was doing a restoration only to find out I had the incorrect exhaust manifolds so the factory exhaust would not fit. He doesn't advertise... Found out by word of mouth. I'll be darned he had what I needed. Set me straight did me right on the price too, what a great guy!
When they were talking about buying up the parts departments and such, reminds me of when I was working for a small D/Chry/Ply dealer and how there were a few boxes of various trim pieces, still in their paper wrappers. They’d be worth a pretty penny today.
Peeps who desire and covet these jewels really don't realize what commitment is needed to preserve & restore continue to maintain these legendary automotive personalities ...to PC up a Frankenstein proper to these levels for most to be appreciated is a test and victory lap of tasks and research few could/would do...thank yu sir well done!
I had the chance to see the car collection up in Warroad, MINN from a member of the Marvin Family. The son had MS and was restricted to a wheelchair so for a moment I thought it was about him. Got to sit in his Cobra. Cool guys!
Wow, very impressive collection and the Turbonique dragster is amazing to finally see. There is a red 62 Chrysler 300 just down the street from me but it's the regular one. Still has it's crazy exhaust manifolds so I see what you mean about the carb heat provisions.
Wow!.........48:45, at first, that's a long video. Not many have the foresight. I'm glad they did. All are cool, but those 68 darts are the coolest for me.
Hello Jay , I may have missed an episode along the way as I noticed the Turbine car is looking light on the front end.... was the Turbine engine removed ????
@@scotcoon1186 The beginning of the video, the interviewer states “In the Northeast Corner of Pennsylvania “. He is 100% wrong with that description. It should be Northwest.
Dont care what those car are,they are junk,and people think they are something. Only because HEMI had a race heritage,and people paid big bucks for them. People became obsessed with the word HEMI,and in the early 2000's they decided to bring the name back. They are just cars. When mopar raced back then you could pick the pieces up of the track,every time they raced. Are the car fast? Yes. But they are junk!! They were all uni-bodied cars. Trust this opinion,in the early 60's chevy made an impala that was the 409 ss,it had aluminum front end,bumpers were aluminum,chevy was the top dog! It burned the pants of the hemi cars,we are talking 62 or 63? Look it up. Look now a days people went from saying it's got a HEMI to saying I want a hellcat,there's another piece of junk,800 hp to get it to reach 11 secs flat,a bone stock z06 corvette achieves that. People pay crazy money for these Mopers,some are pretty but they are not as good as Chevy!!!
Very passionate response, seems like you are ill-informed. The 426 HEMI's that Kramer has were not even released until 1964. 62/63 were mostly Max Wedge cars or 1st gen HEMI's that were a complete different engine. Several members of the FAST Class are able to push 800+ HP on stock displacement and cast manifolds. I agree they are somewhat overrated but they are not junk.
Hahaha, you're jealous, maybe stop hating on someone because they are smarter than you and worry about yourself and maybe then you might have more money 💰 then you know what to do with.

Great to see Jack Thomas's Dart.. He was a great guy to know and being friends with. It was a true honor and I miss him and his stories.
That Faubel 62 300 is one of the most impressive cars I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. When Jim started it I almost cried.

This man is an absolute wealth of information, on these old Mopar racers, loved the video.
What a great episode, I so enjoyed learning more Mopar history. Thanks from New Zealand.

Wow - amazing ! Thanks for sharing
That´s great, and tell Jim Hello from Sweden.
bought a few items from Kramers over the years ......I am overjoyed to see my money put to good use ............

Know this family well. I grew up playing paintball on this property. Legendary stuff. Wonderful kind people

Another great video of Mopar history. I feel fortunate to own and work on classic Mopars, that's why I made a couple of them my daily drivers.
The nicest car of the bunch is that lite green 1969 Pontiac Firebird 💪💪👍🔥 !

Obviously English isn't your first language!?
Nice collection. Thank you for sharing!

Max wedges, 68-70 chargers and 70-71 cudas will always be my favourite cars.

Thanks for sharing.
Very impressive collection.
I just subscribed.
Take care, Ed.
Cooool dude !!!
Fantastic video
this is a great lesson in business----- so something you are passionate about ---- buy in bulk ----
You need to be HEAVILY RECORDED AND DOCUMENTED!!! CHEERS
"I'm GONNA DIE HERE"
LMFAO...
Gee I had that thought once or twice chasing ORIG. 68 DRUMS ! LOL
🏆Very cool 🏆was hoping to see a 69 1/2 🍀Super Bee😎✌️
Wow!.........48:45, at first, that's a long video. Not many have the foresight. I'm glad they did. All are cool, but those 68 darts are the coolest for me.
If I had that 68 dart and he had a feather up his ass, we'd both be tickled!!! 👍 Beautiful car !!!
This guy has more Hemi cars than I have pairs of socks!
Mine was NOY 428, was a worked over 351 C-4V heads.
Wow! That's all I can say.
I'm currently restoring a 68 Notchback Barracuda so I'm sure I'll need to call these guys sooner or later
Mopar!!!!
Hello Jay , I may have missed an episode along the way
as I noticed the Turbine car is looking light on the front end....
was the Turbine engine removed ????
Ohio is on the west of Pennsylvania not the East…
Do you think any MOPAR Guy would admit he voted for Uncle Sniffy.
Do they have a website with parts for sale maybe they have a list?
sure its Kramers , hes been around since forever
Hot cara
So for $4 USD (late 60s money) he got about $30-40,000 (late 60s money) worth of factory racecars. What are they worth today?
make mine Mopar ( '66 Belvedere II )
Ya lost me when you said the Northeastern part of PA.was near the ohio border
The north east corner of Pennsylvania is NOT near Ohio! WTF!!!
Butler is central western Pennsylvania.
An hour to Pittsburg is the direct route accounting for traffic.
@@scotcoon1186 The beginning of the video, the interviewer states “In the Northeast Corner of Pennsylvania “. He is 100% wrong with that description. It should be Northwest.
For people in California it is lol
@@scotcoon1186What’s your point? Ohio is NOT near northeast Pennsylvania LOL
North eastern border of Pennsylvania wouldn’t be near the border of Ohio.
Northeast Pennsylvania is the far end from Ohio.
Spent quite a bit of money here over the years. They got the goods but their customer service is lousy
probably because they can barely walk.
Jim is Top Notch. I have bought several parts from him over many years….
Mexican

Your funny
Big deal . Another super rich guy bragging about what his money bought . Yawn .
Hahaha, you're jealous, maybe stop hating on someone because they are smarter than you and worry about yourself and maybe then you might have more money 💰 then you know what to do with.
What a loser, they are some of the most generous people in the community.
I got the Psychotic Reaction & Supa 'Cuda diecasts from him. Super nice people to deal with!
My guy. Mopar or no car👍🏼
The northeastern corner, next to Ohio??
the warehouse Frank Mitchell had in Columbus Ohio was 10 times bigger than this place.
