- Derek travels to the last standing AMC dealership, Collier Motors in Pikeville, North Carolina. With more than 100 cars sitting derelict, Derek finds an AMC Rebel SST convertible that needs reviving. Parked for over 40 years, he'll try to get it running again and give it back to its original owner, who hasn't seen it on the road since he was nine years old.

Better than the wood lambo. lol
That was horrendous.....
I kept expecting it to catch on fire. I cannot believe the amount of work that somebody put into that thing. Amazing.@@lukasgarage956
I had 2nd hand regret for Derek! He probably wishes he would’ve passed on that!
No termites.
It was kinda cool I guess just kinda tho
Never ceases to amaze me how entertaining Derek can be and the vehicles he gets running truly amazing to watch.
You got gas and what?
Smells 🤣like a wheel barrow full of bird beaks
Yes. fuel makin happener, door used for cleaning ditches, completage, seats just need armor all, convertible top probably leaks….😂😂😂
Why they don't put these episodes IN FULL on youtube ceases to amaze me they'd get a ton more views than on some channel no ones got
You ain't lying.
Agreed, I would watch the full episodes but won't bother with this
These Motor Trend episodes give Derek a chance to put some money into getting these cars not just working, but well on the way to restoration.
It is, like most things, about money. Motor Trend does this as a teaser and wants you to subscribe to their service for the full versions.
Well, we won't...@@Axyl00Druss
I realize now I've been spoiled coming from VGG with hour long revival videos!
Yes, the new commercialised videos are way shorter than VGG. And Dereck's commentary is much faster, less relaxed, and compressed to fit in 10 to 15 minutes. They must have been charged by the hour.
And why do we only see the first episodes? Where's the rest?
If this is an example of Motor Ttrend, I aint stayin'.
“The convertible top may leak”😂. It just might! What an amazing barn find! The fact that beautiful cars like this are still out there waiting to be found just blows my mind 😮
well it only leaks on the inside
Just leave ‘er down… it’ll be fine…
How do you keep doing this insane schedule,
Koodos Derek, and may you get as much happiness as you provide to everyone else 🥰
I agree, Derek is quite busy. However this particular rescue was an episode from season one of Roadworthy Rescues.
Watching Derek work on cars somehow makes all the B/S of the day melt away....
Derek is the best thing to happen to this channel.
love the revivals. wish the videos were longer
He has videos clocking in at 2 hrs on his main channel Vice Grip Garage.
These are just tiny clips to get you to buy the season of the full revival videos. Im happy to get to see these no matter how long or short they are.
I get the feeling that when Derek calls, Dan already knows he's in for a treat! A guy's gotta love those repairs that require spontaneously sprouting a second elbow on your arm to reach.
Man, that brought back memories. "A rusty wheelbarrow full of bird beaks". The good old days. Am I right?
I've driven a 1970 AMC rebel machine that my uncle used to have. It came with a 390 but It had a rebuilt 360 w/ step over stock cam headers and all the good stuff with exhaust. Was the fastest car I've ever driven.
Never heard of a pushrod Amc that had " cams " as in plural
@@eriknelson45 that was a typo. I was using speech typing
In my opinion, Derek Is the most entertaining person on youtube!
Muscle cars and Leaded gas... The good old days. 🗽🇺🇸
Love the Rambler/Nash/AMC/AMX cars and the Hudsons too.
Somewhat difficult to repair with zero parts available !
Those were great cars. Not many where I was as a teenager but they looked and sounded great!
MORE ...MORE...More 16 mins is NOT enough of Derek working his magic.
This is the most new/performance pets I’ve seen Derek put in a restoration. Love it!
Hes definitely made it, nice job man this is awesome to see you on this channel
Yep soon ESG score mafia will jam a bunch of troonys, blixs and ghys in his videos for muh dyeversity!
Man what a nice looking car , the lines and the wheels you chose are perfect 👍. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Cheers 🇨🇦
Derek you’re on fire … be safe keep up the great work
Derek your da man. Bringing cars back to life. Great stories and brilliant humor. Thanks man. Appreciate ya
At the beginning of the video I was beginning to believe this was an episode of Hoarders!
Ramblers were great cars! My Grandparents had several, and the ‘67 Ambassador my Grandmother had was the source of fights, within the family, when she passed.
Love the AMC's and this one is a keeper. I had a 76 Hornet X Sportabout with 304 engine. Kept it 30 years and sold it due to health problems. It had 16,000 miles and was all original. Derek, see what you can do to find one of those. Love your videos, keep them coming!
How cool can you get Derek with the stuff? I've had lots of successes dealing with old 70s and 80s cars in a couple of 60s everything just went fine, no! I don't know I don't know how you can pull yourself out of these jams, love your show
So good to see you getting the stopping tubage replaced without having to crawl around in the dirt!
In your hands this car will live again! Beautiful! I look forward to part 2
Another entertaining and enjoyed episode of you doing a quick and straight forward pick up and rescuing of classic American autos. Thank you.
Love the carburetor removal shovel....lol😄😄
Better than the mid engine AMC fiasco fun!!!🤪❤
Derek is a star that has much rising ahead.
Another eagerly awaited revival.... Thanks Man.
Fantastic video. Love watching Derek. Editing is really great too to capture so much in just 16 mins.
Ooh a spade ,now that's new Derek 😂 your the man
Beautiful car. Hopefully I'll get to see it done and on the coast. Thanks Derek and MT! Merry Christmas!
The bird beaks smell much better once ground up real fine. They work great for sand blasting! 😂🤣😂
I’m so glad I found your channel. This dude is the goat
67 Rebels are really cool vehicles. So good to see this one headed for the road again. A convertible 67 would be my top choice of an old AMC, or at least in the top two.
Love his videos. Go Derek!
I need to see the rest of the videos in this series. That AMC is a beaut.
It's darn MotorTrend.
You can't watch outside the USA, even if you really, really want.....
I could watch Derek bring cars back to life all day!
Really great to see one of these with the engine under the hood. More leg room that way!
Hate the brief time of these sponsored videos, but we will take what is on tap...
Nice. I had a 1969 Rebel. Love the car. Still only drive AMC to this day.
I had a 1968 rebel SST yellow with a black vinyl top with black interior when I was in college back in 1970. Great to see this one.
The seals are solid.... as a rock! 😂 this guy dont lie ❤ Derek
All the nomenclature and exaggeration of numbers is my favorite. Love ya man.
thank you guys for uploading more of these episodes!!!!!!!
The guy who ones the car never seen it run since he was 9 some 40 years ago.
This is one of those times when you have to stop and consider, the Rebel is already 17 years old when Derek was born.
I doesn't matter if its a model A , a model T, a dirt bike or a farm tractor, Derek's old school approach is all the same. He definitely has an old soul, a great attitude, he is everybody's go to car guy and is no wonder to anyone as to why he is so well liked and respected among the car culture.
Good job MTC, you could not have chosen a better candidate to promote your channel
Man, that is one sweet old Rebel! Would be awesome if we could get a closer look at the Cherokee lurking in the background. The Bathtub Nash would be cool too. Cosmopolitan?
First blush gives off that Planes, Trains and Automobiles vibe😂😂
nicop the best thing to come along for brakes in a long time
Derek’s the Best
Great to see brakes high up on the list. (Thank You). Years ago a friend of mine was taking her daughter to a university in the US . A car crossed the median and slammed them head on. Tragic end.
This man is working hard ❤ on this channel and on his channel also
Seeing a feller pop a fuelmakithapener off with a flat nosed shovel it about the best thing ive seen all week.
Derek is the best !!
Makes me miss my old rebel....
Baddest man in the planet.
AWESOME! CONGRATS!
Glad you went through those basic steps, necessary STEPS for the end results, Ready Too Rock? maybe for sure, Yup! Thanks...
Man if i had of known your were going to be in NC i would of took the day off of work and came out to meet you as you were only an hour and 20 minute drive from me and i know of a few places to visit on the coast that i could of directed you to !! Awesome work and another great episode 👍thanks Derek !!
This by far is the coolest car! Love it! Hope to see ya in the north east again.
When the money flows… Derek grows!
That’s going to be a badass build Derek
Excellent Rambler!
It looks remarkably like the Road Runner. I loved these cars growing up. I want to see it running!
God bless you, Derek. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. For you and yours.
I had 1970 2 door AMC ambassador Silver Black vinyl top black interior My favorite date car Pop out the headrest flip the front Bench seats all the way back made the whole interior A bed 😅a Beast 360 positive track And had the good old AMC Wiring harness short somewhere you couldn't find battery killer😮
Boy I like that jeep Cherokee in the background too
I'm glad you made it home from the wooden lamborghini episode, i think the previous owner hosed you, this rebel is a pretty decent looking car, glad you got it up & running, can't wait for you to drive it to the coast.
this rescue is over a year old... part two is on the roadworthy rescue playlist on motor trend TV
I hope everyone makes it back home.
I love your show,and the way your family members support you
I said it before, I like the way you talk Sinore Mchanico.
Shovel pry bar, classic VGG. Love it.
More Derek!? YES
You got that old beast running.
The Poster is a Cool Guy
Love Ramblers. My dad had several and all his brothers and my grandparents drove Ramblers when I was a kid.
Hey Motor Trend - If you're not gonna show the end, I'd rather you didn't provide the video at all.
Absolutely. This is ridiculous
That is beautiful.
After 40 years it breathes life again!
The 343 is a good engine. 5 bolt main and they run cool. Nice car. Cheers 🇨🇦
Great job 👏
Thanks
I just watched the Christmas Eve marathon.❤
AMC LIVES! I have a Javelin AMX with a 360 4BBL .D.E. myself.
Love your channels Just a hint an old school teacher taught me back in 73. The hottest part of a flame is the tip of it not the middle. Keep that comical information coming in
Can’t wait to see part two let’s go!
I had a Rebel hardtop same year back in the early 90s. Mint condition.
Nice work on the cab MR.
Awesome car, very under appreciated
My uncle was a AMC man he had some wild ones...1970 international pick up short wide 455 Olds 400 turbo transmission 9 " Ford with a locker and and Chrysler front rotors all factory ...she would scoot.😎 You remind me of my brother....we used live the good life of turning wrenches.... women and life happens and the 😢rest is history...
Like the Wagoneer in the background too !!!
Another video...another good mood! Two in one day....can't hardly stand it!! 😊😊
She's a beauty.
Did I see a shovel being used for leverage under the hood? LOL I love this guy!
That was one of the few Ramblers I did really Like, and the SST's were sleeper cars that no one saw coming and many saw leaving them in their rear view mirrors
Hope to see Part 2 a finished product
We used to pass Collier Motors through Kinston on the way to the beach all the time! There used to be AMC javelins , AMX's ...everything inside and in the weeds!
Anxiously awaiting the next episode
When I was a kid my brother had a Rambler Amirican. Said it was the worse car he ever owned. BTW, I like Derek's 1 hour revivals much better.
