Wow.. I literally got chills and teared up when I saw this car. My Dad loved this car, unfortunately he passed away last year, but I still have the magazine this car was featured in on October 5th 2016. Jeff, you and your friend did an amazing job putting it back together, if I ever get to meet you have to Autograph it for me.
Oooooooohhhh man! I knew Ron personally and he followed one of my Dart builds years ago which motivated his Dart Vader build. He was in my town for work or visiting family, and he came over to my house for a few hours to hang out. Great dude.....we lost touch, and I am so bummed to hear of his passing.
Please I would like to hear more about Ron. People are starting to see this car and I owe it to him to learn all about him. he sounds like a great guy and i wish I could've met him
Jeff, very humble comment. You are all great people. Happy to see you care for the car and want to learn more of its builder. It’s really great to see you more involved with this channel. Best of luck with the car!
Thank you both. Cars like that are more than chunks of metal. This car has a soul, an attitude and a great story behind it. It’s a very strange series of coincidences and connections that led to it to my door. Ron will ride forever in Dart Vader.
@@jeffkovalik7395 First off, congrats on such a beautiful car! But if you don't run that car in the low 4's, this summer Ron will be rolling in his grave ;) make him proud!!
Jeff Thank you for bringing the Dart Vader back to life it looks awesome I grew up with him n we race together all the time watch that car go thru many different builds till the it become the Vader Thank you for giving some of the history on car and it is one badass ride n fast enjoy it
I’m hoping they keep it! It would be definitely sad if it got sold off. The whole family deserves it ❤. Allison’s face while sitting in it is priceless. I’d love to see her work her way up to wheeling that badass car down the track!!
11:02 when he showed Allison how to turn it on, after it lit…the smiles on both their faces tells it allllll. Car goes nowhere without Allison in it next. Rights of progression.
Allison needs to start now with the sad puppy dog eyes saying but Daddy I really really want that car 😂😂😂😂😂 yall don’t let that car get out the family is still beautiful and badass
One thing's for sure,, Allison's Dart is in it's early stages of construction. Time and CASH,, LOTS of BOTH can get you a Dart like the Dart Vader. You go girl,, you're doing fine!
Billy's laugh when he seen the car back out of the garage was GREAT! That was a real, genuine belly laugh. He knew exactly what he was seeing and hearing. The Dart is a beast.
Jeff I swear if you start taking it apart to restore it to stock I'm gonna drive there and shake my finger at you...and from where I'm at its a long long drive for me!
@@tylerwhite4743 It is true and I'm guessing you don't have a fast car or go to the track. Hell just watch street outlaws and you'll see the Procharger issues. Turbos are on oem vehicles since they are reliable, you ever see a factory Procharger car? 🤣
@mrnastytime420 Procharger is the brand name of a supercharger genius, and if you bothered watching NPK last year the supercharged cars were a lot more successful than the tubo cars
Apparently this car was built in Norfolk here near where i live. It would be cool if you could do a video on the history maybe some info on the previous owner.
Pretty cool how Vicki will record and everyone comes together to see something that brings families together! Awesome story and let’s see that thing at the track
I am not a Mopar man anymore. I had 2 Darts. First was a 67 GT Convertible and the 2nd was a 69 2 door so I can appreciate Allison’s and the monster That Jeff fa fa just bought. That thing is killer.
No doubt Jeff has the quickest car now. Now all he needs is to work his way up using all the car has to give. Aside from the maintenance cost if the motor blows it is without a doubt a very nice car. Call me what you will but i would be concerned driving any car with a cage like that on the street. Remember it isn't always us we have to worry about on the road. Bouncing your noggin off all those bar's would not end well. Be safe alot of us would like to see you around.
That dart is freaking sick guys, nice work Jeff on getting it put back together. I’d definitely keep it and race it, it’s a cool dart and it’s even cooler that it’s got a big block mopar in it still. Looking forward to seeing this thing making some hits, keep up the great work guys.
I believe there is two super stock hemi cars for sale in Kansas with a stock 440 6pack challenger. Two of the cars where nhra record setting cars back in the day.
I drove that car long before it was named Dart Vador at Suffolk raceway. It was white with a black hood and deck lid. My buddy Ronnie built this car and made it is dream come true. His passing broke my heart, seeing someone else with this car is strange. Congratulations In hope you enjoy it.
@@stevenbelue5496 I don’t know the specs on the engine that’s in the car now I do know it’s a turbo and the last I heard was above 1400 maybe 1600 hp? I don’t think Ronnie and I discussed the engine., other than it came from someone out in Arizona. When I drove the car in the late 80s, I believe it had a 440 in it but I know it had a dominator carburetor on it .
I smiled the whole video. Happy for Jeff. Can’t wait to see him lay down a 4 second pass. Wow I’ve raced for 30 years and have never gone 4’s. Congratulations
I have tears, I'm a grown ass man. The Soul in that car, the love that created it is palpable. Jeff and his friend's love that breathed life back into it. Please research the man and team that built it and show us. The tears, wow.
Forsee a bidding war on this bad boy. This is the coolest car on any of the src old mans garage or gen 2 garage channels and i can't believe hes going to sell it. ❤
HOLY ALL ALUMINUM BIG BLOCKS AND A BLOWTHRU!!!!!GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS, AND SO RAD TO SEE THIS PIECE OF DART HISTORY ALIVE AGAIN!!!! WELL DONE JEFF🏁🏁🏁🏁👍👍🤙🤙
The sound of this car is amazing..wow🤯 and the procharger makes it more insane sound..the sound of this car makes me goosebumps bro..wow what a amazing car❤
Wow.. I literally got chills and teared up when I saw this car.

It is sick!!!
Really hope they see this comment and hopefully one day you can come see the car before it's sold.
Allison should race that car you know she would do good
Sell Allison's Dart and keep this one its literly the Dart she wants Jeff! Turn it down until she learns to drive it in all its glory 🤘💪
@@ramberto7785 Man after my own ❤ great idea!
Jeff just flexed on everyone hard
Lol yep your move billy❤
FACTS !!!! LMFAO
@@greg4876 Billy has 3 vehicles that run 4's and is building one that should easily run 4.30's
@@richardhintersehr9014Facts!☝🏻
Time will tell about Billy's cars e.t's and longevity.
Nice!! Love Billy's reaction, don't see him laugh and smile like that too often.
Tommy, Allison do NOT let this car get away from you. I want to see y'all running both DARTS.
Yeah they need to keep this in the stable.
Jeff!! Don’t ever get rid of that car!! Keep it forever!! It landed in your hands for a reason!! KEEP IT!!!
@14:30,, note the smile on Jeffry's face,, HE'S HOOKED BIG TIME!!! 🙂
Right, once he takes the car to the track and let's go of the button he's going to keep that car.
I love it. Jeff is always so stock and by the book. Glad to see him bust out a little!
Jeff’s shirt was for @Bill
Billy’s laugh @ 1:51 when the Dart comes out is priceless!
Evil villain vibes😂😂
cuz he didnt want anybody hear him pooping his pants, the new boss in town!

Wyatt's grin was spot on... Priceless moment. And yes Miss Vickie the familys didnt fall far from the tree... Good Stuff needed for my monday. WoW!!!
Jeff looks like he was made for that car!! Such a beautiful build!
Jeff Thank you for bringing the Dart Vader back to life it looks awesome I grew up with him n we race together all the time watch that car go thru many different builds till the it become the Vader Thank you for giving some of the history on car and it is one badass ride n fast enjoy it
Thank you!!!! Stay tuned. We will pay a well deserved tribute to Ron, I promise.
@@jeffkovalik7395she sounds so good Jeff
I knew it was only a matter of time before Jeff bought something with even more power… such a badass car!!!
Need to keep this one if possible. Baddass car! Dream car material right there!
Jeff just put the "MO" in MOPAR.......Yup🤣🤣🤣
I love to see the dynamics change as time goes on. Your a great group of people. Thanks for sharing.
I can honestly say I have never seen Billy so excited on film over a car ever!!!!!!!! Jefffffa let's go of the button on that ride and it's over !!!!
I’m hoping they keep it! It would be definitely sad if it got sold off. The whole family deserves it ❤. Allison’s face while sitting in it is priceless. I’d love to see her work her way up to wheeling that badass car down the track!!
11:02 when he showed Allison how to turn it on, after it lit…the smiles on both their faces tells it allllll. Car goes nowhere without Allison in it next. Rights of progression.
Wow what a insane build!!!! The engine alone cost a insane amount to build!!! Thats got to be the nicest true mopar drag car !!!!
there are plenty of wonderful mopar drag cars all over the country i doubt this is the nicest but she is a sweet little thang
Nothing says true Mopar drag car like a TH400 and a 9" rearend 😂
Best use of the term "what is going on?" I have ever seen, hands down.
Jeff you just cannot get rid of this car! Its up to you to continue its story! We want to see lots more of this car, its already got Billy thinking!!
Allison needs to start now with the sad puppy dog eyes saying but Daddy I really really want that car 😂😂😂😂😂 yall don’t let that car get out the family is still beautiful and badass
Wow ..I've been shocked/ by stuff on the channels before but this is next level..never seen it coming..congratulations...well deserved
Jeff is gangster af
Ikr I’ve really come to like him
I remember seeing the Magazine an all car was an still is bad 🎉❤ azz one of my will say see ya pure monster 👻
One thing's for sure,, Allison's Dart is in it's early stages of construction. Time and CASH,, LOTS of BOTH can get you a Dart like the Dart Vader. You go girl,, you're doing fine!
One of Billy's best reactions I've ever seen
Congratulations Jeff...that's an iconic car in the mopar world! I always wondered what happened to it since it hasn't been seen in long time.
wow thats a bad ass Dart but the big smile on Jeffs face was priceless
There is no way in hell after one full pass in that car that he will get rid of it.
YUUUUPPP
Might be a investment with more then one person but def should keep it
Absolutely not, once that thing is lined put it's going to be a money maker. I won't be surprised if he changes it from dart Vader to retirement plan.
Agreed 💯❤️
100 bucks jeffafa ain't running no 4
Billy's laugh when he seen the car back out of the garage was GREAT!
That was a real, genuine belly laugh.
He knew exactly what he was seeing and hearing.
The Dart is a beast.
Please keep the car Jeff and race it. It’s in great hands and a car of that caliber is what a man of your caliber deserves!!!
That's a happy man...I'm ready to see him let go of the button...
I'm so happy for the Gen 2 Garage.
Mr. Jeff you’ve got to keep this beast!!! Don’t get rid of it!!
Jeff i hope you get all the info on Ron and that Dart and pass it on to us , we'll be watching and waiting, has to be a great story there
If Jeff does sell it, Billy do not let this one get away. Such a nice car.
Dammit jeff you are turning this die hard chevy super stock racer into a mopar fan. That's a cool ass car.
Wow,what an awesome video, the smiles and comments from both families made my day...badass hotrod!
Congratulations Jeff! That is one sweet looking and sounding Dart!
Jeff I swear if you start taking it apart to restore it to stock I'm gonna drive there and shake my finger at you...and from where I'm at its a long long drive for me!
Haha. Noooooo
I’ll be Damn Ron Bookman’s beautiful old car. I was like I’ve seen that car that car used to run at Richmond Dragway and VMP.
Probably making Billy rethink the whole pro charger deal 😂, sweet ride!
I was thinking the same thing and by the look on Billy's face while sitting in the car he was thinking the same!
Unreliable, more expensive and harder to swap parts between vehicles. Billy made the right choice with turbos over a procharger.
@@mrnastytime420

We will. And we will pay tribute to Ron. He deserves it. RIP.
This makes me so happy!! I can't wait to see Jeff run this thing!!!
You know Billy's wheels are turning ... that Dart is baaaaaaadasssssssss!
Pretty cool how Vicki will record and everyone comes together to see something that brings families together! Awesome story and let’s see that thing at the track
That was awesome! Jeff was holding out on us. Great job to all of you involved. Your team really does great things.

Jeff you really need to keep this car man !!
Such pure happiness in Jeff face when he in car on lift. Very cool of him to film it all
LOVE Jeff's Wiring Shirt!!! LOL!
And the Shop Supervisor was the first to drive it out of the shop..👍✌️❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations Jeff 🎉 Don’t sell this car , enjoy it ! This will be huge for the channel !!
Looked like a damn 1320 thumbnail!!! Jefferson bes keep this thing around.
Thanks for sharing Tommy Allison and Jeff
Great how Billy had the Nova painted and stripes the same !!
Never seen billy laugh like that, he seemed so happy for Jeff and Tiffany! Thing sounds nasty as hell!
I'm sold Jeff is in the Cia lol
Now Allison can run that 600 shot, she has a backup car 😂
She works hard enough I think she deserves it !!! Pass it down daddyooooh lol her face lit up and so many ideas Why not she would totally enjoy it
A 600 shot would blow that 340 apart it's not close to being built for that much nitrous
I don't really care for Mopars, but that car is wicked! Hell yeah Jeff
It's still carbureted too, that's cool 👍
Damn Jeff brought out the heavy artillery.... video came on and shit got dark around here Lets gooooo!!!
Bill:
"Whatya do?"
Jeffahfah:
"I DON'T KNOW.." 🤷♂️
I'm a Chevy guy and this car is just badass! Jeff, you can't sell this car it's too iconic!!
“He put crack in his cheerios”….. I’m dying, Tommy 🤣😂🤣😂
Jeff just brought Gen. 2 garage channel back to life.
Awesome. Gotta keep this in the family you must.
Dart Vader is so cool
The family fleet is going by leaps and bounds!😂😂😂😂
Coolest Gen 2 Garage video to date! LOVE THAT CAR!!
Whole cow Jeff you did well my man. Fantastic Dart. Sounds just right. Can’t wait to see it make a pass. Great purchase!!
Wow Jeff you did a great job brought tears to my eyes love it can’t wait to see you get on the track….
Don't kid yourself Jeffafafa!!!! Your hooked like a fish!!!! You love the car and secretly want to keep it!! The smile gave you away!!!!
No doubt Jeff has the quickest car now. Now all he needs is to work his way up using all the car has to give. Aside from the maintenance cost if the motor blows it is without a doubt a very nice car.

Please billy buy that badass dart!
What a wicked car, still can’t believe Jeff bought THE Dart Vader 🤙🏻
Congratulations to Jeff. That dart is insane and cant wait to see the hemi swap take place and both darts line up.
That dart is freaking sick guys, nice work Jeff on getting it put back together. I’d definitely keep it and race it, it’s a cool dart and it’s even cooler that it’s got a big block mopar in it still. Looking forward to seeing this thing making some hits, keep up the great work guys.
I just fell in love when Allison hit the gas with my hood speaker in the garage
I believe there is two super stock hemi cars for sale in Kansas with a stock 440 6pack challenger. Two of the cars where nhra record setting cars back in the day.
That car is sick!! But your mom holding the baby an the whole family hanging out yeah that’s what this life is about. Have a blessed day
YESSSS JEFF IS THE MAN. Not only a procharged a body but its still got a big block RB MOPAR 🤙🏽👌🏽 Finally something other than a chevy
Awesome!! Don’t put a cowl on your dart the scoop is iconic

"Seems like you're always putting gas in this and we haven't done anything" LMAO my favorite statement right there
The sound of this car is amazing..wow🤯 and the procharger makes it more insane sound..the sound of this car makes me goosebumps bro..wow what a amazing car❤
Same I had goose bumps as soon as I herd it fire up and my goose bumps didn’t go away through the whole video
I would love to see some SRC vs Gen 2 Garage content with Dart Vader!
Wow this was really cool. Esp seeing Billy's expression
Beautiful looking ride sounds really bad ass. I saw the look on Billy face he wants to buy it.Great job Jeff.
Jeff is Gangster now!!
