wheels through time
The first time I went to Wheels Through Time, I "met" Dale as he was leaving in the big V12 automobile with another gentleman on the bridge! I was super bummed because I really wanted to meet him and had ridden 850 miles hoping....to make a long story short, they arrived back about an hour later. As I was walking around I hear someone say "was that you on that Orange HD police bike?"..... I was FLOORED!! Dale Walksler had seen, and remembered that from an hour ago!! We got a personal tour for the next few minutes until he was called off and I'm sure went and did the same to another guest. Matt, I'm sure you wont read this or remember, but YOU did the same thing. My brother and I were admiring the old Army bikes. You walked by and noticed our "Vet" patches. You shook our hands and said Thank You in a heartfelt way. Then proceeded to give us all the info and little details on the scoots in the display. I am sure I will be back. You are a good man, who had a good man to look up to. God Bless and I'll be down again one day.
The Burt Munro vibe is strong here. What a wonderful thing this is!
Hello
How you doing?
Totally..I get that too.(¬ from living in, Dunedin N.Z.)#Burt Munro's legacy..more films Would b just great.cheers for posting.Always great.cheers.!
What a machine! And what a fitting tribute to Dale that it will be displayed in the museum he envisioned and created creation! Both speak of ingenuity, foresight and love of things that RUN!
Very glad we could be a part of this! I know it's in a great place and people will enjoy! Great to meet you Matt and the rest of your crew, absolutely great people! Can't wait to come back and see how it's doing.
Hello
How you doing?
My wife picked this weekend to come to Maggie valley primarily to go to wtt. What an incredible experience. Getting a chance to help push the car to its spot was an honor.
Now that's kick ass. Bowtie head and a 90 year old Ford block. 345 hp 4 cylinder. So many cool concepts it's incredible. Great addition.
He gave you a once in a lifetime opportunity,,, go for the record,,
GO TO THE SALT! You can't miss an opportunity like this. That car represents several guys and several years of work and they all did it for the for the love of doing it.
Ya Know Dale would have! Dooo It!!!
Nice 29 model A hot rod.. way cool
Complete OVER D TOP phenomenal. Dale's style made this a complete concours presentation. This isn't about motorcycle or engines. It is about commitment to vision outside the pack and never stop execution. 8 Bonneville visits to get it right..... Breathtaking.... Thank You!
I have to goto your fathers Museum some day. I live in Chesterfield, Va. not far from you. Sorry to hear Dale died. I didn't know he died. My Condolences to you!
wow my grandma is born 1928!! shes 93 this year!!
I think he wants you to send it one more time. It is at the right place. Out of any place in the world, he wanted it to be at Wheels Through Time. What an honor.
Awesome , If I was a betting man I'd say an addition to the building is in the future ... 👍👊🇺🇸
Truly incredible! Such a beautiful Model A coming to the perfect home. The "Museum That Runs" is, to me, the best motorcycle/automotive museum ever. Thank you for preserving so many important aspects of our history.
I was there that very day for my first visit to WTT. What a great place. Thank you to Matt and everyone there for such a great time. I have to say, as impressive as all the bikes are, the personal memorabilia got to me big time. Knowing that what those folks from the past felt is exactly what I feel today about motorcycles was truly moving and inspirational. Despite a thousand differences across the decades, we all have so much in common...
Hey what's going through the comments and that your comment kind of struck a bell with me. You're actually for whatever reason well I'll tell you I haven't been able to ride for more than a quarter of a century and I lived in breathe motorcycles and things with an engine always had really cool cars and fast cars and except for my 67 Dodge dart LOL go and the when you talked about how you know the personal memorabilia and stuff like that had you kind of made you realize that you know you feel the same way about motorcycles as they did back in the day a common love for the thrill and beauty of motorcycles yeah it really touched me when I thought you know how I felt about motorcycles how you know everything that involved motorcycles was a love and interested you know sometimes when I go like some videos like this and other motorcycle videos it's a little emotional because you know what when I put on a ride anymore I closed the door to anything motorcycles and of course there was no internet or anything but you know I stayed away from you know when I stopped riding I can still see things it just wasn't so safe for me to ride so I didn't look at the motorcycle I didn't follow on the magazines or anything like that when the internet came and RUclips searches for them absolutely nothing and just put it out of my mind it died and I buried it and the a friend of mine got his first bike last the end of last Friday season on the east coast of America you have these cuz the United States and he was telling me about the incidency was having you know that we're getting me to worry about him you know anyone arrives a motorcycle so I started looking up videos and stuff to see if I can send them safety videos tips and stuff like that and all of a sudden The floodgate open then I couldn't get enough about it but you know the first few videos and even now went and some videos just touch me I'm not embarrassed to say you know I said tears over these things you know one of the things that I used to love to do was get up when I didn't have to work whenever that day was it ever time depending on my job get on my motorcycle pick a direction put my camera my 35mm Honeywell Penn text the camera on my shoulder and I would go just you know and if a road Branch left and Branch right now maybe take pictures and it wasn't my little private expeditions my h yeah they were my little expeditions my Little adventures and not to say you know I wasn't adverse on me lots of times I can't even give you a percentage of laying down on my gas tank it just open it up but yeah you know I rode for good amount of years started with Japanese bikes basically end up with a Harleys that was another thing I went after I said that I searched on RUclips for everybody I owns and then I was able to listen to it and yeah again emotional I'm sorry this is so long but you really get your comment just made me realize you know how I felt about motorcycles and riding them and everything about them and yeah it's a very big emotional thing my friend still having occasions where he drops his bike and she's in his late 50s and the first bike bills cuz he he buys cuz he always wanted to Harley is a 99 road King I mean did you imagine your first bike you have just like Cadillac on two wheels yeah crazy always for my thing though towards the end but any motorcycle I I otherwise riding a Japanese bike or a Harley I always waves I always gave a fist so anyone even if they want to moped that's that vice versa this is not Iran but it certainly is not a simple reply to a comment it's more like a short novela all right man keep riding ride safe and ride for fun enjoy yourself and ride safe for me sincerely about the blind patron guitars PS I know that last part was kind of corny but it's kind of true have fun for me dude stop voice

Fantastic!!! What an amazing addition to WTT!!! I am so anxious come and see it.
That MAN who donated that beautiful racecar, the Walkslers, the "Museum That Runs"....it's all awesome! I have family in NC, maybe a road trip...
That’s wild. Was wondering how they got that kind of power. Then he started talking about the SB2 head and all the other stuff. Super cool and smart to use that tech because it’s so good.
That is very special. Matt looked like a kid on Christmas Day.
For folks that haven’t seen it, there is a video here on RUclips of the fellows making the record. “Bonneville speedway 2016 Lawson”. It is quite thrilling that the car is retiring to WTT museum.
Matt...take the man up on his offer...
Take us with you to Bonneville....
...stratigically mount the go-pros so we can see what you see plus watch you as you aim for the mountain...
Man , what a Honor that is to have such a great example of American Automotive Enginuity in the museum along with the amazing motorcycle history. Fantastic. I would definitely take the man up on his offer to crew chief and see about breaking the record.
What a cool deal!
Calling it a "Model A" is an extreme stretch, it may have been inspired by an old Ford puddle jumper that went through an alternate StarGate. Before Stargate existed. I have ridden in a Ford model "A", a real one, and there is no resemblance whatsoever.
What is a Stargate?
You don't know WTF you are talking about. Search up salt flats, etc, and you will soon see that A and T bodies have been extensively modified for racing for years, and not just for straight line land speed either. Now go turn in your man card.
@@fourfortyroadrunner6701 This is a modified roadster which means it can be highly modified from stock. There are classes that look like a stock Model A. If you go to the SCTA website, scta-bni.org/ you should be able to find pictures there.
BTW This isn't the fastest Model A, it may be in it's class but I worked on one in a Lakester that went 181mph in car #415.
I forgot to mention that car #415 was a flathead not an overhead, V4F BFL
That guy and his car are fantastic! How cool are they both I would say Badass!
Curtis Newcom- AWSOME!! AWSOME!!! What a GREAT piece to add too the museum.
The tech around in the 1920s and 1930s before ww2 and the skills of the engineers is astonishing. Its great to keep these historic motors going. Thank you
Kinell that engine is real bad jacksie.
In this crazy world it is so good to be around real human beings that have a heart and brain , I have become smitten with the genuine Spirit of this program .
That thing sounds and looks sweet! Its good to see it at the museum.
Aim for the mountain...how cool is that?!
looking at these older gentlemen look at this pure work of art, truly is just putting a smile on my face. SOO so glad i found this channel, and to we are neighboring STATES! Man when i get my first motorcycle here soon, i am sure to make a visit and come see that place!
Great Great people in the motorcycle and auto community!!! You guys are awesome!!!
Unbelievable! What an awesome display that’s going to make! I need to get to Wheels Through Time if for anything to see the speedsters, cycle cars and wonderful examples of American automotive history.
Best channel on youtube. Thank you for sharing all of this beautiful stuff with us
To get a motor design that old to hit those speeds is truly amazing! Imagine Henry Ford riding in that! 👍🏻💯🇺🇸
That machine is a Masterpiece of engineering. Wow!
This is awesome!! What a piece of history to have to display! Hope to see it soon!👍🇺🇸
Wow, I really hope you do that run! The man offered to crew chief for you, you have to do it.
Hello
How you doing?
@@amandasmith6388 Ok, how are you?
Yes..plus imagine you'd only attract..like minded folks..so that's always an good thing..great post..really enjoyable..thanks..
When the builder hollered for
JEFFRO convinced me.
THANK'S from NOR-CAL!!!!!!!
Awesome!! what an attraction
Dale would be so Proud to add this Awesome Machine in the Museum , proof what kind of man dale was , this Gentleman gave his Baby to the Museum ! For Generations the young can see what the sport started with and where their machines came from .
Another spectacular piece of history that I've seen thanks to you. I really appreciate all you do...
That's pretty awesome Matt, you better take him up on such a majestic offer, they don't come along too often! Or maybe they do, in your shoes. Congratulations.
Too cool! Just sent this video to my pops he’ll be stoked on this car. I’d like to get to the museum sometime.
Came for the vintage bikes. Stayed for the vintage bikes. LOVE the Model A.
Fellow from the northern part of the USA did this with a Chevy head as a young man. In reading Bill Stipe's own story he said that the engine was scary fast. This was many many years ago and a few have gone this route. My question though is welding this back together, how do you account to sealing the internal passages.
The world's fastest Indian is an AWESOME movie, / story! Id love to been around then, the late 50's until early 70's was an awesome time!
Wow an amazing guy in a time when we built our own stuff...and generous....finally a feel good story! too cool!
Keep all this interesting stuff coming....im from Hawaii and one day im gonna visit your museum.
Unbelievable I hope more people do this . The museum is fantastic . A lot of people get to see this car ..
“It would HOPEFULLY put the fire out” that’s the Daniels way boys!
What a cool guy. That's real petrol passion right there..must be hard to give that beast up to someone else, but it's definitely got a good 2nd home. That would've made your Dad smile hearing that thing run🤠.
I wish i lived in the U.S.......Wheels Through Time would be a dream visit for me. You're a good guy and doing a great job keeping your Dads legacy flaming! A chip off the old block indeed👍. I would love to get there someday, but i also keep saying that about the Isle of Man TT! Life gets in the way sometimes.
I would make the 27 pickup my daily driver.
Hello
How you doing ?
I think I saw that at Bonneville!!
Matt said it all. AMAZING!
Tommy, how many times you been to Bonneville?
Tommy: Yes.
Should have left it at that
When he said you can take it out and break the record, see that little scratch of the whiskers and the momentary faraway look, I could almost hear the gears whirring in his head. Look out Bonneville.
What a great additiion to your Museum WOW !
Stunning machine. Its got a good home. Cant wait to see it up close and personal. Soon. My retirement list. Yep
This is badass. I've never heard a model A sound as good as this does. I'm happy for you Dale and Wheels Through Time to receive this piece of history. I'm pretty sure it has found a awesome home for people to see it and enjoy.
It’s NOT a Model A in any respect…🤦🏻♂️that’s Why!
Be there in 2 weeks!!! From Louisiana. Hope y'all be open man!!
Hello
How you doing ?
lol, I love that even the trailer has mags. I've wanted to run a set of those 'turbines', ever since watching the A-team as a kid, but never had the right car.
Well, you can't get much better than a tutorial with the guy whose blood, sweat and tears are all over the car! I know that car well, seeing it in Bonneville coverage for years...Very cool!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
While Henry Ford would be amazed how fast the car went I think he would be disappointed that its main part is a Chevrolet piece. Who knew a big block 4 cylinder.
Time to get up to Maggie Valley!
Thanks for your video as always you can tell how this guy loved this car and you know giving it up must have been hard but at least he gave her to a really good place that I love it and take care of it and other people will love it and look at it which is great I wish I could see it but I'm blind so that ain't happening at the moment lol 25 years ago I would have been able to see it but it is what it is I have a discrepancy though looking down the feet suggested videos from this video I found one that said fastest model I ever Bonneville and it claimed in 2008 I guess around there 230 something I think a 215 and then 240 or 2:30 something with the turbocharger I don't understand me what different the categories that might be but you know that they said you know you had to use the original block etc and the yeah so which is the fastest LOL either way they both cool videos and I really enjoyed listening to them thanks
That's awesome, i love the whole story
What a fabulous car
Masterpiece Presentation
I sold mine 12 years ago and wish I hadn’t. Mine could run 68 on a good road and 55-60 easy down the highway never an overheating issue or a hiccup.
That donator is an american hero
Very Cool. 👌
This is the best place for this fantastic car. Simply amazing. That dude sounds extremely healthy. Some day soon, I'm gonna have to visit. Watching the Bonneville runs is way better than NHRA or Nascar. The new Indy cars look like CRAP.
If it had a passenger seat I’d ask you for a ride. Very cool🏁👀🏁
It’s got a great home now
THIS is the type of stuff that needs to survive thru time. We're currently suffering a information drain. Skilled mechanics and engineers are retiring and passing away without leaving their knowledge behind. We need to record ALL DATA in as much detail as possible. The recent gas line hack has proven this fact to be true.
The petroleum company could have operated the pipeline manually BUT all the people with operational knowledge of the pipeline are all retired or DEAD so they were forced to pay the ransom.
This is the same thing that happened to our Lunar landing program. All the machinists and engineers didn't write down or record their work so an entire generation of space exploration was lost to ineptitude and ignorance.
WE CAN'T let this happen again. EVER.
Mats Favourite word is Unbelievable!!
Much Respect
Another outstanding video! Thank you
Fantastic , it looks like you got a record to break ? He’s even supplied the car for ya !
The car is still holding the record.
@@MrGregroberts55 Wow , impressive!
Love it. Amazing work!!
WOW... Congratulations
Great new addition. Lets go to Loring.
Record attempt would make several great videos documenting the process.. just sayin
Good Vid. Cool old truck
Is anything other than the block from a model A?
The block is all you need to be in the vintage class and if you are trying to go fast the rest is not up to the task.
@@MrGregroberts55 I guess those are the rules, but by the same logic, any vehicle with an LS V8 would be a Corvette.
@@phillipbatho3213 I see what you are saying but in the modified roadster class the main body has to resemble the Model A body and then there are limits to what you can do. There are classes that are mostly stock. You can look here for different classes, scta-bni.org/
For sure the coolest car on the lot
You have GOT TO RUN IT AGAIN BEFORE RETIRING IT GET THAT RECORD
Bad ass buddy
Love the lawnmower
Stunning
This model A is a pure hot rod
Low key offer for Matt to make a Bonneville pass?
That’s just too cool! Damn! BA!
So, whens the video of that lawn mower comming out?
Really neat!
So very cool guys.
Fantastic!
You have to run this thing once in a while, like you do the bikes. Jayman...
