Years ago I owned a 73 coronet that came from factory with 11'' rear drums. It was ordered with what was called the tow package, that also included an additional oil trans cooler in addition to the one in the radiator. It also had much larger drive universal joints. Always an ordeal when I needed to obtain parts. Radiator was huge as well. Great video guys.
21:30 if he thinks those two look anything alike he really needs to get some new glasses lmao
Ikr!
Probably because he is color blind. He has mentioned this a few times in his videos
lighter blue then the original sticker
came down here to comment the same thing
I swear.🥰🥰😂🤪🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰. I thought my phone was off its color and where the ear cover is shaded different on the original it's not full have shaded blue.. Now I got to go compare it to my 2020 scat pack.. But ❤️ 😍 the vid.. They need to go to a different supplier.. 🙄
Having gone through it, there's nothing worse than watching a machine you love slowly burn up
The trivia is fun, the car maintenance tips are helpful, and the show is entertaining.
The blue color on bees were different
Mark's attention to detail is second to none. Even something as minute as a hex castle nut won't cut it.
I'm not a Mopar guy but it's cool how these guys know their stuff and have the ability to do a pro job with something as hacked as this Cuda was.
Is it just me, or in the segment where he compares the scat pack decals the blue on them is completely different?
yeah it was, didnt say why ?
Yeah they looked nothing alike
@@1970sthrowback according to him they look exactly alike lol
I had to stop the vid and check out the stickers. the old and new didn't match .
Yes the colors on the original looked much fresher than the new one !
I'm a chevy fan, but keep being impressed with the other brands. My PT cruiser was a great car, up until some ass pulled in front of me. If properly maintained, these cars last. Sadly the majority of them for sale are not. I am also impressed with Dodge keeping build sheets and then retrieving them for the new owners. They don't have to do this, but all you have to do is email customer service. It's so cool getting one for a car or truck that was custom ordered.
Got a half a million miles on my pt cruiser........ was one of the last ones made in canada.... before they went cheap to mexico and made junk neons.......mine to recked
90% face shots, 10% car. Great production.
Them scat pac decals were two different blues and you can see the clear edge around the new one, just saying
What great workers to be able to see what their boss has to say and still be able to work hard and get things finished. ABSOLUT PROBS to these boys!
George reminds me of the car wizard 😂😂👍🏼
Love this show. Wish i could work there. Love the old muscle cars . Love the mopars. I use to bead blast parts in a blasting cabinet . I love turning wrenchs on old cars. Just dont have the play money to do so.
..while I don't really care for the "scripted" drama and that sort of B.S. associated with shows like this, I very much respect these guys' abilities and attention to detail..and what draws me to this, I think, is that they are trying to get things 100% correct..no resto-mod, customizing, or other such butchery as in B.S. shows like "counting cars"...
Bee stickers aren't the same. One is light blue the other, dark blue.
The blue on the sticker looks like a different colour on the new one.
The guys at graveyard cars are absolute artists in the whole sense of the word Rembrandt Picasso da Vinci would definitely approve of your work on top of that the fact that your family owned is even better you guys are making dreams come true thank you for your hard work and dedication i’ve got a build request could you please put together the Pontiac GTO from the movie my science project because I know you guys did that crazy truck and then the Christine car I know it might be out of the question for you guys to do that but I just thought it would make for a good episode
Mark is the best I have ever seen I would buy one of his cars than a new one
Best joke ever. What is Irish and stays out all night?
Patty O furniture.
The Blue in the "SuperBee Repo Sticker" is not the same shade of the original SuperBee Blue., helmet and Tyre......
This is going to be a half a million car when it's done. That's why we're charging three quarters of a million to fix it.
I learned a lot in this episode. Keep up the great work.
Everyone talks about the car, but no one ever mentions the mental abuse this guy puts his employees through...saving Mopar's at the expensive of his employees...but hey, at least he had a tv show.
Never had any luck with fire cars, We had a barn fire back in the mid 80s and we had our grandfathers 69 Impala conv in the barn and me and my uncles thought we could save it we had a 2 door hardtop for parts and pulled the burnt body off the frame and had it stripped and we did the bodywork and painted it we put it all back together on the hardtop frame and wasn't even a year later it was rusting under the paint eventhough the body was acid dipped and the insides of the panels where you can't get with paint all flash rusted it was not good and the panels were weak like they were annealed. We ended up cutting the top on the hardtop we had for parts and putting in the convertable parts and panels we thouught we could save our grandfather's car but it was a nightmare and we ended up just building a complete replica of it and I tried saving a dodge powerwagon cab that went through a fire and that also didn't go well either but still running that one with the once a year or 2 yr paint jobs.
The fire, and smoke is very acidic. It creates rust like nothing else. But repairing metal, and getting it ready too paint after a fire. Requires alot more metal prep than normal. Even though you had the car dipped. There will always be fire residue remaining in the metal pore. Even after a fire car is acid dipped. You have to make sure. They neutralize the acid after dipping. Then having the metal media blasted. Is the easiest way to remove. The residue from the pores of the metal. After that's done you da the metal. Then blow it off, and wipe the metal down with acetone. You'll know your done. When your rags remain clean. Then you spray the car with etching primer. Because etching primer acid etches the metal. Giving it something to bite into, and hold on. Think of it like this, when you're weld in panels, or patch panels. Your basically creating the same effect as fire. When done welding what do you do. You grind the weld down, and you prep your area. If you think in that aspect. You need to do that same thing. With alot less aggresive approach. Also any car that's been dipped, or had rust treatment applied, has to be neutralized right after. Or the metal will rust back. One more thing also. When it's cold inside so is the metal. When you heat up your work area. The bare metal warms up. As the metal goes from cold to hot. The metal will condensate. So let the metal warm up first. Then scuff down it down with a scotch bright. Then wipe the car down. One more time before spraying primer. If not your just sealing in moisture that can't escape.
My pawpaw has a 69 impala ss. Its the only car he brought new. The body style of the fastback impala's. Is my favorite body style of the impalap.
I love he goes 100 percent in to get it to look better than factory great job 👏
Perfection creates perfection
Hello Mark & crew I have been watching GYC 's while living in Tennessee but now I am living back in Oregon I would like to know if you have tours of you shop I just love hearing Marks stories of his youth I can really relate I would love to tell him a few of mine I have some great Mopar stories myself plus many many more !
I learn so much watching your videos. I love it!
I like how they work so hard to restore these cars to 100% original condition yet nothing but the VIN is original when it's done.
Exactly! It's a rebody regardless if anyone wants to admit it. I have a friend that restores only E bodies for a living and sometimes there is less than 10% of the original car left. I like them just fine but don't try to convince me that it is the original car.
If the roof, bulk head, and frame are in tact. Then it's still the real deal. All the other panels can be replaced.
@@7s29 Who determines what is acceptable? My friend does mostly convertibles and I've seen places replace a hardtop also. I asked him and he says some consider it a rebody and some don't. He wouldn't call them original but he also auctions them all and does disclose it. Another friend does 1st Gen Camaros and basically said the same. It's an each to their own sort of thing.
Honestly, as long as it’s built as the vin indicates, close enough.
Nothing lasts forever but if you care enough about classic vehicles and their survival to the next generation, you’ll understand that quality reproduction of original is good enough when original isn’t available
if you have a car thats been sitting in a barn, or worse, in a field for 40+ years, how the fuck are you supposed to keep it 100% original during a restoration then? IMO if the car is rebuilt according to specc, using genuine OEM parts etc, and leaves the shop exactly how it left the factory, then the car is original. I remember one episode where they rebuilt a daytona, or maybe it was the roadrunner, cant remember, one of thos long ass cars with a 10ft high rear wing. And they spent ALOT of time finding a company that could strip the paint and rust without losing any more material of the original panels as possible.
Oh no another " We are gunna lose the shop " show
Hey Alissa , I didn’t miss the last show 😂😂✌️✌️, if Tom Brady or your dad is in the video? Then we know it’s a goat video 🇺🇸✌️✌️✊✊ love and respect
wow i have not watched grave yard cars in awhile i must say dougie is much better on camera than at first he is killing it good job guys
Just watched the auction of 71 hemi cuda convertible, one of 8, only two sold in USA, survivor and fully documented sold for 3.5 mil dollars. New record for a Mopar!!!
Love you guys!!!! Have to say the colors on the repo scat Pak Bee.. colors are different, lighter blue. Just saying. Love the show, hope to do business someday
BEST ONE YET GREAT WORK I LOVE IT
None of those lights are burned out... LOL!!
These guys are wicked great Mopar experts. I love it!!
This young man just got a master level course in what is right and not right on that model. If he is smart he will watch this and actually take notes. You cannot buy this level of knowledge anywhere except in front of those true experts like mark.
I have one of these rear-end housing. 11 inch brakes on a Dana 60 housing, supposably it came from a 440 GTX or a Hemi, it's in my buddies 50 Dodge right now
The video effects are annoying
But, the blue on the original Bee decal was WAY darker than the reproduction decal 🤨
You’re looking good Marc take care of yourself eat that good healthy food and drink plenty of water
I know of one of those 9 challenger convertibles. One of my dad's buddy's had one sitting in his field and they never thought anything of it because the car was completely roached. Motor was gone and body was shot basically nothing left of it. Dad's buddy was talking to some guy at a car show and the guy he talked to told him how rare it was and paid him 10,000 for the car so that he could take the vin and place it one a car someone made into a convertible hemi and make it a "numbers matching car"
How long's his prison sentence?
You guys do great work but that scatt pack bee the blue on the shading is different shade of blue the original is a darker blue also the slits in the eyes and the mouth is a different shape
Pretty good show guys ,, subbed ,,I’m a mopar freak from Prince Edward Island Canada 🍻👍🏻🇨🇦
28:24 now I recognise that 'Murder by Death' pun ;)
Better take a closer look at the color match between the original and remade Bee.
I own a 71 RT Challenger 440 six pack 4 speed with track pack with drums on front my Plum Crazy was last one made in 71
JUST INCREDIBLE!!
I am glad that the owner of the Phoenix Cuda will get it back better than it ever was! You can really tell from how he talked how much the car means to him! You can also tell from the progress this video that it will be a first class car when it is done!
The bee has 2 very different blues, unless that’s just the way the color filters on camera…
You forgot Tommy Lee Jones was in the movie natural born killers too
I'm sure he once work at the assembly line at least managing the whole assembly line to have such HUGE knowledge about that specific car
Cousin Dougie is too cool
14:57 I would have installed that heater hose so that the part number could have been read from the right side of the car. Other than that, I wish coming up I would have had employers that took the time to mentor me the way Mark did that young man at the end of the video. Outstanding.
little overspray on the back of the one valve cover?
Nice video. Might benefit from more flash effects though
Cousin Dougie so cool 😎 in his shade's .
Not for nothing but those scat pack stickers don't even come close to matching. The blues for starters.
Very informative.
Mopar college , enjoy this show even though the only Dodge I’ve ever owned was a 1977 van with a 318 that was a long lived work horse . I use to hand print the t-shirts for the mopar guys for the Houston Mopar event at the Houston Racepark in Baytown . Every year the meet they had the previous years first place trophy event car on next years t-shirt which They sent me plenty of photos and details to script out to on the event shirts .They never had left overs , beautiful sculptured automobiles .
I set an watch with amazement. 😱
Watching them bolt the transmission to the engine on the Phoenix cuda . Never, repeat Never bolt any critical components together with paint between them. !! It will cause the alignment to be off between them. Very poor tech practice 👎As well as coming loose after time
I would bet that is the way it was from the factory.
I hate to tell you but those stickers dont match, the original is a much deeper blue. But if I ever have the $ to get a real Mopar, I will bring it or buy it from these guys! Man they know they stuff!
How many 1970 Charger RT/SE Hemis were built? Had one of supposedly 9 built. Same challengers same distribution as the challengers, 5 ATs, 4 4-spds.
Beautiful !
How can you not see that the Blue on the Scat Pack reproduction Bee is a lot lighter than the original. Not even close to matching the original.
Two fish in a tank, one says to the other "you know how to drive this thing?' The other one says "What do I look like, a typewriter?"
i love car videos but that dude is quite difficult to stomach, very much a look at me i know everything kind of guy! he must carry a mirror around with him so he can admire himself all day!!!
Knowledge is useless unless you can you use it. You wont find guys like this in years to come.
So I understand that this is you talking about Mark??? He is an acquired taste for sure 😆 but he does know his shit
color on the stickers were clearly wrong.
Also AMD stuff is good enough if you don't mind cutting it up and welding it to get good gaps. Better then nothing available
Local native eugenian ...grew up with Mopars in the sixties. I grew up with 50S Dodge pickups, 64 sport fury 383, and my favorite in 1968 special order **Barracuda 340 formula S fast back in forest green color.. Mom's 1st and only brand new car factory ordered from Barker Plymouth Chrysler dealer , Location where shepherd motors now has been for years.
I am certain that car would be somewhat rare today and it was wrecked in 1970 always wondering if it got dismantled and cut up or if someone was smart enough to take it and replace some body panels... Insurance right off.
Can you tell me how rare that car is and if you have ever come across one there locally in the Willamette Valley?
The barracuda was promised to me upon high school graduation but unfortunately mom totaled it when someone ran a yield sign.... A sad day for me it since I was the only one to wash and do oil changes on that car even age 10.... Drove it all around the neighborhood when mom left the keys available !
Recently I was put on a transplant list so my bucket list has become more relevant, Would love to look at especially the old barracuda like I almost had and other Mo pars imagine you guys are always busy but sometimes I get into Eugene too, take care , hope to hear from you
By the way I completely feel it about losing your car to fire lost my hot ride with a 5.0 ... Owned that car for more than 20 years and one day it was just burnt to a crisp along with everything on my property burnt to the ground..
Mind blowing 😉
Another one saved from the crusher thank you guys
I had a 1969 AMC Javelin . With an aluminum V-8, 290 small block .
I raced Corvettes in it . And I would easily win .
Was there a part two for the Phoenix Cuda? I can't find it :(
Way2go Doug teach your son passing your grade on to your son is a great thing and a gift to him make sure you understands by learning something they can never take away he'll always eat you always be able to work that's what someone told me many years ago
Dream car! Or a '71 Firebird
The stickers were funny. Completely different blues.
Those Bee decals don't look remotely similar. The colors and dimensions are completely different.
I agree 👍 💯 I was like, no where near
Why are the exhaust manifolds painted ? It will burn off and look like hell after it is done smoking and stinking for hours. A friend actually had the paint catch fire under the hood.
They build some nice cars! But there isnt a mopar on earth thats worth a million dollars period! No car i dont care what it is is worth that kind of money! Barrett Jackson did that to the classic car market now everybody that has a junk in their back yard thinks its worth a ton of money he ruined it for the average person to own a classic car
Unfortunately, it's caused everything to go up. Even simple parts cost the earth.
They aren’t worth that much to you. Unfortunately they are to others. They’re worth what someone will pay.
@@joemonstermaker4784 you are right there are people stupid enough to pay way too much
@@7s29 Yeah it's a tragic joke. You got people who don't even own the model of car grabbing up parts that people genuinely need and then holding them for ransom.
@@joemonstermaker4784 Well that's the obvious argument and it's correct of course. A mass produced car is not worth that sort of money in reality. The ass will fall out of this stupidly inflated market at some point. If you want a real investment in a classic car go for a real high end thoroughbred car or a car with a significant competition history.
Those stickers were not even close to the same lol ?
The color is off the scat pack sticker...
I want one of your 1969 Dodge Charger RT
Hell if I had the money I would have mark do my 65 Chrysler 300 Convertible factory 383-4bl automatic transmission.
Good lord, the digital static garbage is overplayed and obnoxious!
Those Scat pack stickers are completely different
Will is the man!
My oldest uncle had a hatchback barracuda have you seen any of these cars?
I use to think those cars were one of the ugliest cars made. I always told myself I'd never own one. But it's one of those things. The more you look at em. The more they grow on you. Then before you know it. Your finally the proud owner of a Jackstand queen. That has your neighbors calling the county on you. Every few months. Hoping they'll make me remove my eyesore. Because they pretend like it ruins there entire day. The very moment they see my car. I brought mine from a junk. It needed one of front torque boxs replaced. Because it was rusted out.
Hemi was rated at 425 hp but made well over 600 hp.
I hear Cuda and think of Nash Bridges and his yellow Cuda and the opening scene, vroom ..... Wonder where that Cuda is now?
HEY BUDDY ARE YOU COLOR BLIND THOSE BEE'S HAVE 2 DIFFERENT SHADES OF BLUE. YOU STATED THE WERE THE EXACT SAME COLOR, LMAOO
Murder by death, great movie. "Conversation like television on honeymoon...unnecessary!"
I'd love to come take a tour sometime.
I've always wanted to own a Dodge Charger or a I'm an Afghanistan veteran I thought for this country I've always wanted to own a Dodge Charger I cannot afford it I had to go to to war to take care of my family but I love what you're doing and I wish I could afford a Dodge Charger what you guys are Belton hey there a 66 or 65 Dodge Charger
I can't imagine how much money these guys charged this owner. 🤔
My guess is he got a full payout by insurance and he was allowed to keep the car. But if it happened 18 years ago…the cost to restore was likely 3X the price. Must be a Very Rare one to be worth it
@@melvinsmiley5295 he did not because he didn’t want a totaled title. Wise move. I know Wendell personally. The show pays some of the restoration. The car is now done and the reveal filmed last Wednesday , it will be on the last episode of this season.
sorry but the blue color on that scat pak sticker is a much lighter hew
Hue
Lol. I knew the minute I hit the send button the mistake I had made. Hahaha. Have a great day. ;-)
that rocker to quarter panel and door fitment looked like crap at 25:47.
It is perfect now.
Hello from Cleveland
here is the issue.. they are making the fit and finish of the restoration FAR FAR BETTER THAN THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE FACTORY!! lol.
