And Dad is so cool...he never said a thing about the hood not having scoops... well raised family.. nobody had to tell them what the right thing to do is...they knew from being raised the right way... more people like this...!
He originally had the 400 manual with the mean looking scoops on the hood. Now, opted for the 326 auto because he no longer has the use of his left leg. He is unable to drive a stick. He was elated either way though and is so happy for the cruiser. Thank you for your kind words. More comments like this!
@@TheAlfaritos So wonderful that you were able to give him back his beloved car, even though it wasn’t the exact car. I appreciate that you selected one that would suit his physical capabilities. I also had a 1967 Verdoro green Firebird that I sadly sold around 50 years ago, so this video is special to me as well. Btw, the 400 he is kneeling in front of in the photo is actually a 1968. The wrap-around front parking light started in ‘68, along with the rear side lights and the lack of front wing windows.
Que bonito reencuentro. Tell your dad my history: In 1989 I purchased my first car , was a 1985 white Pontiac Firebird standard transmission. Drove pretty good at the mountains in Monterrey NL and around my hometown y el Nevado de Toluca. I took it to Toluca Mexico and brought my family on it . Round trip from Belle glade Florida.
You are an incredible son to an incredible father. The smile on his face when he drove the Firebird says it all! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story and your wonderful family!❤️
I lost the same car 40 years ago bringing it home from storage for the winter in a stupid accident. I cry seeing this video. People are good, it give me hope!
That was the first car I owned. Bought it in my sophomore year in college in 1975. It was a 400 4sp. I repainted it the same color as your dad's car. I shed a tear because I really miss that car.
We all have that emotional connection with that special car once we owned in our younger years. We all don't have this son to acknowledge that bond we lost it decades ago, well done son, you are a gem. No one is ever too old to drive an old school V8. Enjoy.
The good Son and family! Wow my man, priceless....money cannot buy or replace the joy Dad was feeling. You are the best of Mankind...thank you good man, peace.
Hey brother... Right there brother. 🤜🤛 From New Zealand. 🇳🇿 what a nice looking Pontiac. Colour and wheels. All them memories came flooding back. He's home. 😊😊😊
I’ve owned 67 firebird convertible for 30 years. Kids came along and it got put on the back burner. They’re grown now and I hope my health holds out long enough to where I can finally have that car the way it should be.❤
Very cool! I bought a 70 Firebird as my first car and drove it for 5 1/2 years till I sold it. Had a lot of fun and made good memories in it. I'd love to have another one, but I am pretty sure I would want it with a/c this time around. I hope Julio is loving that car!
What a wonderful story and amazing gift of love you gave! My first car (1973) was a 1968 Pontiac Firebird 350 in black with red interior. My parents made me sell it the fall of '74 after my 2nd accident in it. I tracked it down once in the mid 80s with intent to buy it back, but the owner wouldn't part with it. I've seen a few since then, but none with that color combination. The 1968 came with a 350 base and the 400 with hood scoops. Mine had a fold down rear seat to a platform that worked well for transporting my guitars and amps to band practice. I think about that car often. All I have left are a few photos. And the dime-sized cigarette burn I put in the drivers seat. It was a head turner and sounded great with glass packs and side pipes.
very well done comrade you have successfully done what will earn you the respect of the community and most importantly you have givven your dad something greater than the car, the feeling of proudness. Very well done
I lost my dad before i became good financially...couldnt pay him back anything....i love u dad wherever u are...ill try to be with my kids as good as u was
Guys, HERE is Our Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
many won’t get this. why would so much effort be put into a car? why is a car so emotionally impactful? those folks often drive average, super boring cars & they never will get it. my Dad’s a Pontiac Man & I grew up knowing 389s & 400s. he now has 3 ‘64 GTOs & a ‘04 GTO…the ‘04 is the only one without 3 Carbs. so, I get it!….and this was amazing. thanks for sharing this. Nice Work, Dude. Nice Work
Wow!!! I mean, *WOW!* Mine would be my '71 Chevelle SS!! Silver Grey & Black Stripes!! My 60th was Sept. 27, late gifts are always welcome! ✌😂 That was awesome! I even had a tear of joy for him!! ✌😎❤
What a wonderful man, dad, person, pops, you're their hero and congratulations on your new/lost and recovered dream car. Have all the fun in the world viejuito and God bless you 🙏 greetings from El Paso Tx
I just hope its packed with security and insured to the nines so he gets to keep this one! I can;t imagine being loved like that. He has a great family.
Back when cars had not just character, but class. Wonderful thing done for a wonderful man who sacrificed so much.
I had a 1977 olds 442 stolen. If my kids would do
something like that. I would be doing the tailpipe.
Exactly! How awesome!
Julio raised his kids the right way. What a way to say thank you.
Your parents raised a good family, and you are blessed to have a father you love.
And Dad is so cool...he never said a thing about the hood not having scoops... well raised family.. nobody had to tell them what the right thing to do is...they knew from being raised the right way... more people like this...!

You Sir are a very Lucky man to have such great children
Que bonito reencuentro.
Tell your dad my history:
In 1989 I purchased my first car , was a 1985 white Pontiac Firebird standard transmission. Drove pretty good at the mountains in Monterrey NL and around my hometown y el Nevado de Toluca. I took it to Toluca Mexico and brought my family on it .
Round trip from Belle glade Florida.
Brought tears to my eyes when I saw Julio as a young man next to his car. Well done.
I drove the same car in high school in the late 80’s, same color. That video brought a tear to my eye. Thank you
Same here. British racing green
You are an incredible son to an incredible father. The smile on his face when he drove the Firebird says it all! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story and your wonderful family!❤️
Saying I love you is one thing, showing you love someone is something else. Well done.
I lost the same car 40 years ago bringing it home from storage for the winter in a stupid accident. I cry seeing this video. People are good, it give me hope!
You are a good son and made your father happy
A man who has given everything for his family, is a MAN INDEED
That last picture of him kneeling down in fron of the care is gold.
That was the first car I owned. Bought it in my sophomore year in college in 1975. It was a 400 4sp. I repainted it the same color as your dad's car. I shed a tear because I really miss that car.

The best thing, to make a Dad's heart, young again.
We all have that emotional connection with that special car once we owned in our younger years.

He did what a dad is supposed to do. I am amazed by that, and humbled. Well done that man.
This is the ABSOLUTE COOLEST way to give someone a car!! No awkward setup. Perfection!
These cars look phenomenal man. I can totally get why you would yearn for one.
I’ve owned 67 firebird convertible for 30 years. Kids came along and it got put on the back burner. They’re grown now and I hope my health holds out long enough to where I can finally have that car the way it should be.❤
We're rooting for you.
Julio.....you did a great job raising your family. Be proud and drive safe.
Very cool! I bought a 70 Firebird as my first car and drove it for 5 1/2 years till I sold it. Had a lot of fun and made good memories in it. I'd love to have another one, but I am pretty sure I would want it with a/c this time around. I hope Julio is loving that car!
Did you get one?

I love it when family listens and knows how deep losing a car has scarred. And years later loved ones heal their heart!
GOD BLESS JULIO ALFARO AND HIS 1967 FIREBIRD NOW & FOREVERMORE
Firebird was my first decent car. Bought one my junior year in high school! Loved that car!
I miss my dad!
If that doesn't bring a tear to your eye you have no soul. Great Job!
That car is tough. Helluva family.

"Parents repaid" video.
Excellent.
It's the fact that you found one, and rebuilt it into his dream is the amazing story behind this story! Love your elders that treated you right!
Awesome family. You did a beautiful job on the car
My very first car was a 1967 Firebird. Yellow with black racing stripes down the sides. I got it in the Military. Miss it for sure.
