    Wow, what an amazing video!!! I felt like I was right there with you guys the whole time, smelling the fumes from the Petro 94, and hearing all of the sounds that are there during the first start of the engine in the 500. Hearing the good vibrations from the open headers, man it just doesn't get any better than that. I had a smile on my face the during the entire video and a tear in my eyes as well. George you did an incredible job on this video, everything was spot on, the camera angles the sound, and I didn't even mind sitting on the tire machine, lol. You made me feel like I was part of the entire experience, and I thank you for that. Nick & Manny thank you so much for all of your hard work over the entire build. The 500 looks better than it ever has, and you have exceeded my expectations throughout the build. Another muscle car saved by Nick's Garage, The best little garage in Laval Quebec, with a giant reputation. The ending of the video was very special for me, and 100 Bikes For Kids, thank you so much.

    The charger 500 is my favorite variant of the 68-70 charger, they are so much better looking than the super bee and still have all the nascar heritage and the serious powerplants.

    If Nick goes to that car show in Illinois he has to bring Kowalski to sit next to the 500 at the show. That would bring the house down.

    Makes me think of my first car. It was put together from a wrecked 65 Ford Galaxie and a stripped 67 Mercury Marquis. The engine was a 352 T-bird engine and had a lot of miles on it. Once I got it warmed up, it would start with just a bump on the starter. I wish I still had it and could put it in top shape again. I would build the engine to original specs because it was too wild for me when it was worn out. I once had the car on an icy hill turned about 45 degrees across the road with the speedometer reading about 85 mph. She inched up the hill with my brother screaming that we were going to die. That old girl would flat out fly. I only took her to top end once and she was well over 120 after coasting down for about a tenth of a mile. That broke me from wanting to race because I nearly went off the left side of the highway when I let off the gas. I really miss that car.

    @stevencurley6431 2 года назад +1

    I was hooked on Mopar from the day my neighbor who was 2 years older then me picked me up for school in his 1 week old 69-1/2 440 6pk Road Runner. Whether racing or just cruising, B-bodies were all around awesome and easy to work on. Chrysler nailed it back in that era...to bad most of us didn't see that it was all going to come to an end. In '04 I had the itch for something fast and old and so I bought a southern '69 Coronet 500, HP383 ragtop that had gone thru a cosmetic resto 20 years earlier, it saw road time then it was parked in a barn for maybe 5 years. Seller picked me up in it from the airport and WOWWW I was impressed with how nice it still was so we went to his shop where we did the deal and I drove it 800 miles home. That car was confused for a Charger ragtop from time to time due to the tail panel. Other then storing it in winter there was rarely a time I didn't drive that car there after. Yeah but then I ran across an almost completely restored 70 Road Runner 383 air grabber car on Ebay. Talk about loyalty anxiety...2 great cars to drive and only one of me. To satisfy the addiction I needed next a Challenger or Cuda but that never happened. Well it was a great 9 year run but had to sell them.
    Seeing a born again Mopar like Eugene's 500, I do grieve over the loss of my 2, I'm envious too but happier then all get out that he was able to put the brand back to it's former prowess and glory. The car is breath taking, congratulations Eugene!

    I was on the Lexington in 1981 in Pensacola FL. back when it was still used as a training carrier. I was at photo school and other than a destroyer, it was the only ship I was on in the Navy.

      The "Lady Lex" originally had a wood deck that was covered with a steel deck. She also served in Viet Nam and broke in many Naval Aviators to take off and landings on a carrier. Went throughout the Gulf, yes even off of Cuba back in the day. Her other port of call and land airbase was " B " town, South Texas.
      They used to have planks of the original flight deck in the mess on display.

      @@ToyKingWonder So true, that old girl's in tough shape. I guess she won't have any big holes when there done with her, but will she be safe is the question regardless of speed. But she'll sure make a great conversation piece and show candy for the mancave. i know it it were mine i'd probably park her in the living room just to look at her 24/7, and never want to take it on the street for fear of someone running into her while going through a stop sign not paying attention type thing.

    Eugene that is one bad ass muscle car. Love the color & that nasty cam is awesome in that 440. Super kudos to Nick & his team for another restoration well done. Take care of that girl & show her proud!

    Very nice '69 Charger 500. Brings back memories of my B5 Blue '69 Charger R/T that was a factory original 4-speed car with a 3.54 Dana from Mr. Norms Dodge which I sold back in 1996. Selling it was the worst mistake I ever made..

    Hello To Nick and the team who poured in so much blood, sweat and love into this beautiful Charger 500. The car looks like a million dollars. The paint colour is amazing and the decal over the rear 1/4's and trunk helps set it off, the chrome trim as George was moving past the drivers door and it reflected the light back into the camera I just fell in love right then.
    Hearing that big 440ci engine start up for the first time in 47 years was just music to the ears. I could feel that big mopar rumbling in my lounge room. My 1510 watts hifi made it sound real and as if I was there with you all. Fantastic journey Nick and the team at Indy Autos has let us share in.
    Hello Eugene, Thank you for giving us the privilege in joning in the special event of restoring such a rare peice of US motoring history. Owning a car since new 53 years ago and then restoring it to new condition was a wonderful thing you could do for Nicks Garage, his team and us RUclips subscribers. It was no small undertaking to spend all those resources to restore the car, but look at the Charger 500 now!
    I followed along every video to see this dusty old car turn from dents and rusty parts to what is now the sweetest, coolest, rarest Charger 500 to ever rumble the world as I am sure it will over the next many years Hearing the pride in your voice over the work done on your rare car brought tears to my eyes. I hope you injoy your beautiful car for many years to come.
    To Nick, I love the shirt your wearing, "Peace Love & Muscle Cars".
    Much love and respect To Nick and the team Indy Auto

    Just watched the initial start-up and I was immersed in feelings not normally associated with cars! Pride, awe, respect, happiness, gratitude, …
    What a great trail of fantastic people! Everyone that has laid a finger on this project for the past 2 years has been stellar!
    A special tip of the hat to EUGENE! It takes a lot of fuel to keep a fire burning so long! Thank you for that, and thank you your service!
    You, sir, are someone I’d love to shake the hand of!
