Id only go back to 2001 and buy my dads 68 charger he sold for 6k was all restored 440 4 speed red and black, id give my younger self money to buy it, and promise to keep it.
As a kid I watch the first "vanishing point" movie. The Car I would go back & get is the 1970 white, Dodge Challenger R/T, SE with the 426 hemi, 4 speed. Store: My Parents house. They lived there from 1955 to 2007.
I thought it was a 426 hemi too, but I haven't seen the movie in years. According to the RUclips channel, Nick's Garage, it was a 440. Look it up. Nick built the perfect replica a few years ago.
BO29 '68 Barracuda (Hemi Super Stock). Then tell "then me" to hang on to it for 50 years! I can remember seeing tons of muscle cars sitting on used car lots in the early '70's. My Dad and Uncle were always talking about buying them and storing them somewhere. Neither one had the money though LOL! But if I could go back in time with a suitcase full of vintage '60's dated $100 dollar bills....
Problem is- My dream car is a 1969 Dodge Charger General Lee. So, I'd have to show up at a Warner Brother's lot and somehow buy one of the hero cars, then somehow figure out how to drain everything and wrap it on bubble with a gillion packets of silica gel and then pre-pay the rent on a commercial storage facility, I guess.
and then hope the place doesn't burn down. Keep in mind one of the most trusted places to store archives and such as a salt mine and still many things got got burned.

ok 68 hemi dart and I would go give it to my DAD because you can eat off the floor of his cars and he was restoring 1920s cars in the late 1960s and still was up to the last few years and say this is for your one of your kids there is a letter in the glovebox open in 1975 and hope for the best
Sounds like Chris has the DeLorean almost running. Make sure to pack a lunch, because a DeLorean might only make it to 88MPH one time. Honestly though, if I could go 50 years back in time I would just stay there.
All the cars I had and sold cheap because of the gas prices, ( I could kick myself in the ass). But who knew that would be better than the stock market . So many cars that could have made me a millionaire !!!
basically large pressure cylinder with a bolt on door that is o ring sealed...then in the door there is a tiny little peep hole and a button that makes an led light come on to verify contents......the car is packed inside with no air in the tires and no acid in the battery and no other fluids put in the vehicle...it is given a liberal coating of wd40 misted on before packing...inside the vessel are the car,tires and battery with no fluid and thats it...the vessel is pressurized with nitrogen and there is a gauge on the door that has a green zone when needed it can be re pressurized...there are tamper seals on the door to ensure the contents have never been exposed....when unpacked the fluids are added and tires aired up and car readied for use....if transferred from one owner to the next they can check the tamper seals and nitrogen level and also push the button and view the car inside through the tiny peep hole like a door peep hole,this method would eliminate UV exposure and air infiltration
That was always the issue, no place to keep it. I had an A12 Super Bee slip through my fingers without realizing what it was. I had two $500 Road Runners I let slip through my fingers also. No place to keep them. My time machine was my previous life.
Hmmm… I think your best option would be rent an excavator and truck, buy a sea can, 4cases of silicone. Bury the sea can in the desert, on a hill, not in a flood plain.
I still have my 1968 Firebird 400, that I bought in 1978. And I still have it parked in my garage. Parked it in 1981. Also have a 1973 PowerWagon. 2nd owner in 1976. Property is gated w/wifi camera's.
@johnwayne3904 Mainly because some stupid **tch ran into me on my 21st birthday at about 7:30 PM. She had bald tires and it was raining. Never made it to get a free drink that night. Have other cars 2 drive.
The movie showed how and what is the best way. Get a almanac of all the history of teams that won world series and just bet ,win and buy the car you want in the future. That's the easiest I can think of.
I am old enough to have been back in the day when those cars where easily available. I was a kid in high school from the mid to late 70's when all the muscle cars where being sold off by the original owners as used cars. I bought a 1970 Buick GS Skylark 455 for only $700, and a 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS 396 for only $800 back in the late 70's. Both of them had about 70,000 miles on them in good running condition with original drive train, interior, and paint.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has thought about this. I think the most feasible idea would be to drop it at the AACA museum in PA with a signed contract. That said, one of 2 cars I would go get...either a Shadow Gray w/red interior 1970 LS6 4 speed Chevelle loaded with every possible option, OR a completely stripped down 69 A12 Super Bee Super Track Pack car in F8 green
I've thought about this as a kid. The best way I figured would be to buy a plot of land in the middle of nowhere (then and now) make sure there hasn't been a natural disaster (flood, earthquake, tornado) in that area, build a house and a special basement garage attic to place the car/cars in. Fence off the property and enjoy 50+ years later. Dream car 69 charger, favorites any tri 5 Chevy, 68-72 Nova, Chevelle, Cutlass, GTO, challenger, roadrunner, Coronet, AMX.
Well there is a little known story of a abandoned dodge dealership and a similar scenario did unfold. Although the guy was actually not trying to save a few cars over the years, but that is what happened. I'll try and make this short. But back in around 99 or 2000, I was looking at I believe was a Dodge charger forum website and somebody posted about a 73 Dodge charger with only 17 miles and a big question mark. So I clicked on this posting and he posted a link to a eBay listing of nos original Mopar parts for a dart and he mentioned this Guy is telling a story in his listing. So I go to the eBay listing and some nos dart parts were just sold but in the description, he mentions that those parts were the last of a parts lot he inherited. And he proceeds to tell this crazy story of how when he was young and back in 1971 his dad came into some money and decided to build a new Dodge dealership on his land in a small township in rural Oklahoma. Well it was up and running and got established but, then in1973 his dad ends up tragically dying in a car accident and this boys mother tells the dealerships manager to just end all business and shut it all down. So it got all closed up and forgotten about for years and this dealership building was at the opposite end of the land where the house was so this building never got visited and forgotten about. So fast-forward to about 1997 and this boy now older is in the military in California and in a higher rank and his mother dies! So months and months later he finally gets around to Oklahoma and settling the estate and surveying the property and gets over to the old building and walks in and he is looking at how rough of shape the building actually is in and he is looking at big holes in the roof and not thinking anything really good about the property until he gets to that back service garage area and walks around a major corner and he is all of a sudden shocked to see 3 cars and a pile of NOS new parts all right by the cars. So apparently even though the manager at the time probably cancelled all orders and closed the place up, a delivery and a driver for Chrysler shows up on a weekend and drops off 3 brand new cars and a pile of new parts and put them all in the back garage in 1973 and no-one knew it or had even bothered to go back to that building all these years later. He said there was a new Dodge dart and a new Dodge Coronet sedan and the Special Edition Charger with only like 17 miles on it. And all the cars still had the plastic on the seats and stuff. As word spread, this guy was getting lots of interest in the cars. I even emailed the guy, he tried to share a link to a bunch of photos but the link wouldn't work and he said he couldn't handle all the emails he was getting and I think he ended up removing the story from the listing I tried to hang onto this guy's email because the story was so fascinating but Hotmail, which was one of my email accounts made changes and deleted old emails and moved accounts to different servers some years later, so I lost his contact. It would be interesting to find out what ended up happening to the cars. And I don't think this guy realizes how interesting this story would be to people if he would just make a video about the story and share pictures about it.
1966 GTO. Find a way to vacuum pack it in three different layers with 1960s technology (glue plastic and a shop vac). Stick it in a shipping container. Make sure to seal that well and bury it in the high spot in my grand parents field where the water table wouldnt get to it.
Okay Chris I think I got the perfect plan. I think I would get the following before time traveling, one bar of gold and enough gold coins to equal around 4K in order to purchase the car, and with this I would travel back to late 1968 and find and purchase my very own 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, which is my dream car. I would then take it out to the dessert and try and jump a ravine bc I am a fan of the Dukes of Hazzard, of course I would wreck it and then I would place the bar of gold in the trunk of the car. Then over time my Charger would just sink into the ground and would just evolve into a crazy story that was shared by the locals. When I arrive back to good old 2024 I would call Chris Birdsong and let him know that there is a car I need rescued and restored and let him know that it will need every piece of sheet metal that AMD offers. The payment for the work is guaranteed to be in the trunk, but of course he would need to dig it out of the ravine first.
You convince your relative it's the best thing ever and its preservation and keeping it in the family is that persons purpose in life. Give them enough gold to keep it in a climate controlled garage for 50 years
Doc Brown had a suitcase full of cash, highly organized from different time periods. Fun fact: I know the guy who supplied the vintage genuine, real paper money for that scene. It was worth many thousands when the movie was made, and much more today. That wasn't prop money, it was the real stuff from the late 1800's.
I have a super honest and trustworthy friend who is elderly now. I would pay him to put 2, 40ft shipping containers on his farm, tell him they are time capsules and weld them shut with the date they will be opened. Go back to 1973 or 74 when the fuel shortage is, search and buy a 1969 triple black R/T 4 speed charger 440 or hemi and a 1962 Impala SS 409 4 speed put them in one container, and in the other any 2 hemi Mopars I could find, sell the hemi cars now to pay myself back and pay off my farm, freshen up the Charger and Impala and enjoy. Also put in place a payment to my friend in the 80s when he went through a hard time after a serious car accident.
When I was 10 years old (1971), I had the opportunity to buy a 1930 Ruston Model C roadster. Asking price: $300,00, if I could go back, I would by that, and somehow leave it with “me”, the 10 yr old. I would trust “me” to save and keep that car.
For me, i would either place the car in a shipping container located at an air force base that my dad was stationed at in the 60's, keep it under lock n key and hopefully it will be there when i get back with the delorean. The dream car...Z-16 Chevelle
☝😌 research automotive museums. Find one open from 1969-2024+ Donate the car on the condition that your Daytona be preserved and released to your "heir" in 2024. Hide it in plain sight.
First thing to do is win some sort of lottery or stock investment in the time you want your car from. Then build a bunker or whatever you need to properly store it. The sky is the limit if you win because you know what will happen.
First thing, travel into the future (which was like 9 years ago!) to get the Mr. Fusion upgrade from the 2nd movie. No you can make multiple trips! Then go back earlier than you want to start to huy stocks in something you know will hit big. Buy a storage building. Time travel like 6 or whatever months at a time. Buy a car every time. Make a payment on your building. Repeat!
Forget the DeLorean and make your time machine a car hauler. You'd just need to get cash from the era you're going to. Bring your load home and sell one to pay for the rest.
A funny thing happened about 15 or so years ago. I was going through my dads shed and deep in the back there was a few very old round up magazines. They were in the year 1981. I wish I still had these but chargers, road runners, chevelle mustang fastback you name it all in the $2000-4500 range. It really was cool seeing this and dreaming. One day a friend of ours stopped by and seen this issue on the table. He was going nuts wondering why there so cheap. My dad said look at the date, he did. That was sad he looked like a little kid who dropped his new ice cream cone.😂
'70 GSX. Fully loaded Stage 2 monster. Only 2 built and maybe 50 mule cars that were crushed. Storage? Gotta go with Doc Brown, on this one. Go to the middle of the desert, find an abandoned mine that hasn't been touched for a century, jump back to '69, buy it and stuff it in the mine. Maybe pile a wall of worthless rock in front of it. The trunk, BTW, will be packed with about 100 lbs of cheap, unopened and sealed Elvis, Beatles, Zepplin and Stones records.
I would have tried to stash the car way back in the Suptropolis, Kansas underground storage complex. Maybe it wouldn't be discovered there, and it wouldn't have aged much. Subtropolis is where Ford stored new unsold Mavericks for a little while. My dream car? Perhaps an Oldsmobile J-2, especially one that was raced in NASCAR like Lee Petty's.
there's a limestone mine storage facility in wampum Pennsylvania I heard they store a lot of old music and movie tapes there like the Beatles and Micheal Jackson stuff scanner danner stored his RV in there I have a friend that's stored his 69 road runner in it
Knowing what i know now ? Build a 3 story house out of cargotainers then store it in the top tier , create paperwork that the property stays in the family .
I put it in a plastic tent like my father's 55 Ford and park it next to it since he never let anybody in his building or around his car so it would have stayed perfect like his car through the years.
I would find a really big private owned farm/ranch, with some good ole boy owners, keen on keeping the place in the family, and then pay a big lump sum for then to allow me to keep the car in a barn or shed somewhere on their land for all those years. Maybe keep the car under a false floor/roof as well
Chris you really started a great debate. If it was'nt about price, I had my dream car. A '69 charger General lee. It was'nt perfect but it was bought and paid for a lot of friends and family helped me, especially my dad who absolutely hated everything about dodge and Dukes, yet he let me use his truck and trailer a few times to haul it around during the build. Unfortunately it was stolen from me when I was in alot of trouble. I trusted it to my then at the time best friend and he forged my signature on the title and sold it. This was back in 2009. I would travel back to 2007 and 1st beat the living crap outbof myself for messing my life up, I would convince myself to not do what I did. Losing that car has been a living hell. I bought it back in '02 for $3000 it was a shell. The guy put the worst paint job I had ever seen on it but it was orange and had the vectors. He said he wished he had a different color but that was all he had, kind of like cooter when he built the General. Anyway it took me about 3 years to get it road ready I wet sanded that paint and polished it and it had such patina it looked like a used General after the decals were on. But that is what I would do. Ive had some real serious offers that made me think about selling glad I never gave in. I miss that car so terribly bad. Seeing your last vid on the 318 stick shift charger mine was just a bit better. The price you paid is insane. Sadly im not sure if I will ever be able to get another one. Thanks for the debate!
1968 Dodge Coronet R/T Hemi 4 spd in bronze metallic. Try find a museum / car collection to loan the car to . sometimes the best hiding spot is in plain site
1969 road runner 440 4 speed in blue, if you have money. you go out in the country in the middle of no where, buy a small plot of land. build a small shed or so on that land. store it in there. then what you do is find a lawyer or long running bank and you set up an auto payment for the land tax. if you have enough money it would get you back to "today" of course i would set the car up on jack stands and pull the wheels, remove the battery and all gas, change the oil or remove it completely.
I'd get a "In Violet" '70 Plymouth AAR 'Cuda. Theres a museum not far from me that was there in 1970 and its still standing. Id leave it there on "longterm loan" come back to present day and say my grandpa left me this 'Cuda and take it back.
You hide it in a abandoned mine I know of someone who found a green hemi charger with 400 miles on it the guy died in Vietnam but before he left drained all the fluid and took off tires stacked them in the corner of the garage and left the car on jackstands with a car cover over it in his mom's garage
so if you are over 50 years old and you know your family's history and housing situation over the years it becomes easier. I was born in 1968 so I'm drawn to 1968 cars . in the 1970's growing up there were plenty of 68 cars around and a 10 year old charger or Chevelle could be had for a few hundred dollars and a super rare one say a hemi Charger or a 427 Chevelle could be had for under 3k. so I'd go back and give it to my 10 year old self so when I get to be 17 I've got it.
Hey Chris thank you for the video and I could have had my dream car 68 or 69 Dodge charger the one that had the back round tail lights in 1986 my mother was looking for a car but the charger have problems with the carburetor and my mother didn't want to get into it so she bought a 1979 Ford Mercury monarch acid she kept that thing for years now once she got rid of that if that was the charger I would have bought it off her and kept it for a spare car which I wanted to do and then I would have took it and put it into my storage facility I have a garage that I have a Chevy Blazer in and I've been paying storage for the last 15 years
We could buy 440 commando engines in old wagons and every thing else. My brother and I used to race a 69 superbee. All we had was a 1 car garage. Gravel floor. We didn't t have the ability to rebuild em. But we could change them in a couple of hours )
Go back in time with the Delorean Find an airstream camper gut it , add NOZ and a turbo to the Delorean to make sure it can reach 88 MPH, load dream car into the trailer and bring it back to the future, if the first trip works have the Delorean engine and drive train swapped out for Chevy small block with nos and turbos. do it multiple times until I have every car I want..
For me i am 56 my parent's have been gone for year's. I have spent a lot of time with family. I would trade everything into gold then go back in time then turn the gold into money. Bet on pro sports with a print out of all game over the next 50 year's. I would go back to 1965 and stay there. I would be around for every muscle car i wanted. I would own the rarest of car's ever was an option. The cost of living back then i would live like a king. Live the street and track races of the time. Yes i wouldn't have all the modern parts we have today but i would care less. I would care less to try and hide a car for 50 year's hoping it's still there and in mint condition. I would enjoy the times back when the car's become available.
But if had to go way back to say 1957 or 58 to buy the fury, od get older cash from time period, and go buy it, id then have to pick somewhere dry, and no bad weather, so kinda limited to desert area. Id find somewhere i could hide car under ground like maybe government land. Or at friends place in south dakota, they left abandoned in the 50s still there and they still own it, i went there few year's back, and nobody been there, old cars still sitting, old tractor, and had a old fridge that still worked, so i took that home, looks cool in the garage. I plugged generator into house wirng and lights came on. Only thing living there is critters and lots of ticks.
I think I would put it in a car museum . with the guarantee that the car is registered in my name and cannot be sold.. And hope they maintain it there until I return 50 years later .
The other problem big problem is the 2 Rs. Rodents and Rust. You could have the perfect stash place but if either of those gets to the car it prob be junk when you get to it 50 years later. Seen a lot of nice cars destroyed by those 2 Rs.
Assuming you can have a bunker/bldg built? I would do it like the movie "Blast from the past" an underground bunker on time lock scheduled to open on the day i come back from the past.
I'd store it in Leroy Jethro Gibbs' basement along with his boat in a big zip lock bag. What is a better question is what would you get now to store for the future and where would you have it stored?
first get Derrick a cold drink he looks like he's about to pass out. first off i would pull off the heist of the century something big then go to a small town bank something i know survives into the future buy a warehouse and setup up a trust fund account with a young attorney and have that account pay the taxes on stuff on the warehouse. comeback may years later with a my uncle died and left me this warehouse story then everything i stashed in the warehouse is mine. i would put coins, cars, maybe some artwork, i mean how often do you hear stories of "my uncle left me" who's to say there isnt a time machine floating around out there? true story bro! do do do do lol
I want a 67 chevelle. I’d find a 17 year old Jay Leno and explain the deal to him. And tell him how he’s gunna become this amazing car collector. I’ll be back in 2024 to get it. He don’t get rid of any car. He’d still have it.

No problem. Loan it for public display to a car museum. It will be in a climate controlled building too! Don't lose the paperwork!
museums would not want that car yet.

The movie showed how and what is the best way. Get a almanac of all the history of teams that won world series and just bet ,win and buy the car you want in the future. That's the easiest I can think of.
I already had two 340 Duster's(1971 & 1973) and a 1968 Charger R/T, 440ci, Red. Enjoyed all those cars thru the 1980's.
1970 W30 442 four speed!
I am old enough to have been back in the day when those cars where easily available. I was a kid in high school from the mid to late 70's when all the muscle cars where being sold off by the original owners as used cars. I bought a 1970 Buick GS Skylark 455 for only $700, and a 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS 396 for only $800 back in the late 70's. Both of them had about 70,000 miles on them in good running condition with original drive train, interior, and paint.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has thought about this. I think the most feasible idea would be to drop it at the AACA museum in PA with a signed contract. That said, one of 2 cars I would go get...either a Shadow Gray w/red interior 1970 LS6 4 speed Chevelle loaded with every possible option, OR a completely stripped down 69 A12 Super Bee Super Track Pack car in F8 green
I've thought about this as a kid. The best way I figured would be to buy a plot of land in the middle of nowhere (then and now) make sure there hasn't been a natural disaster (flood, earthquake, tornado) in that area, build a house and a special basement garage attic to place the car/cars in. Fence off the property and enjoy 50+ years later. Dream car 69 charger, favorites any tri 5 Chevy, 68-72 Nova, Chevelle, Cutlass, GTO, challenger, roadrunner, Coronet, AMX.
Well there is a little known story of a abandoned dodge dealership and a similar scenario did unfold. Although the guy was actually not trying to save a few cars over the years, but that is what happened. I'll try and make this short.
But back in around 99 or 2000, I was looking at I believe was a Dodge charger forum website and somebody posted about a 73 Dodge charger with only 17 miles and a big question mark. So I clicked on this posting and he posted a link to a eBay listing of nos original Mopar parts for a dart and he mentioned this Guy is telling a story in his listing.
So I go to the eBay listing and some nos dart parts were just sold but in the description, he mentions that those parts were the last of a parts lot he inherited. And he proceeds to tell this crazy story of how when he was young and back in 1971 his dad came into some money and decided to build a new Dodge dealership on his land in a small township in rural Oklahoma. Well it was up and running and got established but, then in1973 his dad ends up tragically dying in a car accident and this boys mother tells the dealerships manager to just end all business and shut it all down. So it got all closed up and forgotten about for years and this dealership building was at the opposite end of the land where the house was so this building never got visited and forgotten about. So fast-forward to about 1997 and this boy now older is in the military in California and in a higher rank and his mother dies! So months and months later he finally gets around to Oklahoma and settling the estate and surveying the property and gets over to the old building and walks in and he is looking at how rough of shape the building actually is in and he is looking at big holes in the roof and not thinking anything really good about the property until he gets to that back service garage area and walks around a major corner and he is all of a sudden shocked to see 3 cars and a pile of NOS new parts all right by the cars. So apparently even though the manager at the time probably cancelled all orders and closed the place up, a delivery and a driver for Chrysler shows up on a weekend and drops off 3 brand new cars and a pile of new parts and put them all in the back garage in 1973 and no-one knew it or had even bothered to go back to that building all these years later.
He said there was a new Dodge dart and a new Dodge Coronet sedan and the Special Edition Charger with only like 17 miles on it. And all the cars still had the plastic on the seats and stuff.
As word spread, this guy was getting lots of interest in the cars. I even emailed the guy, he tried to share a link to a bunch of photos but the link wouldn't work and he said he couldn't handle all the emails he was getting and I think he ended up removing the story from the listing
I tried to hang onto this guy's email because the story was so fascinating but Hotmail, which was one of my email accounts made changes and deleted old emails and moved accounts to different servers some years later, so I lost his contact.
It would be interesting to find out what ended up happening to the cars. And I don't think this guy realizes how interesting this story would be to people if he would just make a video about the story and share pictures about it.
Wow, the voices in your head run deep
68 Hemi Charger Black not sure on how to store it away. Right now I would be so HAPPY with a rust bucket 68 charger
Excellent topic Chris.
I've thought about this too. I don't think that there is a good answer for this question.
1966 GTO. Find a way to vacuum pack it in three different layers with 1960s technology (glue plastic and a shop vac). Stick it in a shipping container. Make sure to seal that well and bury it in the high spot in my grand parents field where the water table wouldnt get to it.
Okay Chris I think I got the perfect plan. I think I would get the following before time traveling, one bar of gold and enough gold coins to equal around 4K in order to purchase the car, and with this I would travel back to late 1968 and find and purchase my very own 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, which is my dream car. I would then take it out to the dessert and try and jump a ravine bc I am a fan of the Dukes of Hazzard, of course I would wreck it and then I would place the bar of gold in the trunk of the car. Then over time my Charger would just sink into the ground and would just evolve into a crazy story that was shared by the locals. When I arrive back to good old 2024 I would call Chris Birdsong and let him know that there is a car I need rescued and restored and let him know that it will need every piece of sheet metal that AMD offers. The payment for the work is guaranteed to be in the trunk, but of course he would need to dig it out of the ravine first.
Love that idea... pictured it all n everything lol
Saw the NASCAR #48 Daytona in the thumb. I’m here.
Lone it to a museum for display. That will pick it up in 50 years
You convince your relative it's the best thing ever and its preservation and keeping it in the family is that persons purpose in life. Give them enough gold to keep it in a climate controlled garage for 50 years
Doc Brown had a suitcase full of cash, highly organized from different time periods. Fun fact: I know the guy who supplied the vintage genuine, real paper money for that scene. It was worth many thousands when the movie was made, and much more today. That wasn't prop money, it was the real stuff from the late 1800's.
Oh wow
Good topic! I’d buy a 1969 Shelby GT 500 Mustang fastback. Then I’d lock it in a shipping container and hide it in the basement of the Alamo! lol.
You got me pulling my hair out on this one ..... the one time ride of plutonium f**ked me up. LOL
I have a super honest and trustworthy friend who is elderly now. I would pay him to put 2, 40ft shipping containers on his farm, tell him they are time capsules and weld them shut with the date they will be opened. Go back to 1973 or 74 when the fuel shortage is, search and buy a 1969 triple black R/T 4 speed charger 440 or hemi and a 1962 Impala SS 409 4 speed put them in one container, and in the other any 2 hemi Mopars I could find, sell the hemi cars now to pay myself back and pay off my farm, freshen up the Charger and Impala and enjoy. Also put in place a payment to my friend in the 80s when he went through a hard time after a serious car accident.
1970 Challenger TA white on white . Stored at my grandfathers farm in the basement of the house. The tractor would go in the barn 🙂
When I was 10 years old (1971), I had the opportunity to buy a 1930 Ruston Model C roadster. Asking price: $300,00, if I could go back, I would by that, and somehow leave it with “me”, the 10 yr old. I would trust “me” to save and keep that car.
For me, i would either place the car in a shipping container located at an air force base that my dad was stationed at in the 60's, keep it under lock n key and hopefully it will be there when i get back with the delorean. The dream car...Z-16 Chevelle
☝😌 research automotive museums. Find one open from 1969-2024+ Donate the car on the condition that your Daytona be preserved and released to your "heir" in 2024. Hide it in plain sight.
First thing to do is win some sort of lottery or stock investment in the time you want your car from. Then build a bunker or whatever you need to properly store it. The sky is the limit if you win because you know what will happen.
The car that was buried (1957 Belvedere) was in Tulsa and the airtight chamber failed allowing the car to rust horribly
First thing, travel into the future (which was like 9 years ago!) to get the Mr. Fusion upgrade from the 2nd movie. No you can make multiple trips! Then go back earlier than you want to start to huy stocks in something you know will hit big. Buy a storage building. Time travel like 6 or whatever months at a time. Buy a car every time. Make a payment on your building. Repeat!
Forget the DeLorean and make your time machine a car hauler. You'd just need to get cash from the era you're going to. Bring your load home and sell one to pay for the rest.
1967 Chevelle SS and I would let my dad take care of it in the meantime and it would be my first car when I turn 15.
A funny thing happened about 15 or so years ago. I was going through my dads shed and deep in the back there was a few very old round up magazines. They were in the year 1981. I wish I still had these but chargers, road runners, chevelle mustang fastback you name it all in the $2000-4500 range. It really was cool seeing this and dreaming. One day a friend of ours stopped by and seen this issue on the table. He was going nuts wondering why there so cheap. My dad said look at the date, he did. That was sad he looked like a little kid who dropped his new ice cream cone.😂
Set up a trust with enough $$$ to buy the property and pay the taxes. 69 ZL1 corvette is what I’d buy.
'70 GSX. Fully loaded Stage 2 monster. Only 2 built and maybe 50 mule cars that were crushed. Storage? Gotta go with Doc Brown, on this one. Go to the middle of the desert, find an abandoned mine that hasn't been touched for a century, jump back to '69, buy it and stuff it in the mine. Maybe pile a wall of worthless rock in front of it. The trunk, BTW, will be packed with about 100 lbs of cheap, unopened and sealed Elvis, Beatles, Zepplin and Stones records.
I would have tried to stash the car way back in the Suptropolis, Kansas underground storage complex. Maybe it wouldn't be discovered there, and it wouldn't have aged much. Subtropolis is where Ford stored new unsold Mavericks for a little while. My dream car? Perhaps an Oldsmobile J-2, especially one that was raced in NASCAR like Lee Petty's.
there's a limestone mine storage facility in wampum Pennsylvania I heard they store a lot of old music and movie tapes there like the Beatles and Micheal Jackson stuff scanner danner stored his RV in there I have a friend that's stored his 69 road runner in it
Knowing what i know now ? Build a 3 story house out of cargotainers then store it in the top tier , create paperwork that the property stays in the family .
I put it in a plastic tent like my father's 55 Ford and park it next to it since he never let anybody in his building or around his car so it would have stayed perfect like his car through the years.
I would find a really big private owned farm/ranch, with some good ole boy owners, keen on keeping the place in the family, and then pay a big lump sum for then to allow me to keep the car in a barn or shed somewhere on their land for all those years.
Maybe keep the car under a false floor/roof as well
Chris you really started a great debate. If it was'nt about price, I had my dream car. A '69 charger General lee. It was'nt perfect but it was bought and paid for a lot of friends and family helped me, especially my dad who absolutely hated everything about dodge and Dukes, yet he let me use his truck and trailer a few times to haul it around during the build. Unfortunately it was stolen from me when I was in alot of trouble. I trusted it to my then at the time best friend and he forged my signature on the title and sold it. This was back in 2009. I would travel back to 2007 and 1st beat the living crap outbof myself for messing my life up, I would convince myself to not do what I did. Losing that car has been a living hell. I bought it back in '02 for $3000 it was a shell. The guy put the worst paint job I had ever seen on it but it was orange and had the vectors. He said he wished he had a different color but that was all he had, kind of like cooter when he built the General. Anyway it took me about 3 years to get it road ready I wet sanded that paint and polished it and it had such patina it looked like a used General after the decals were on.
But that is what I would do. Ive had some real serious offers that made me think about selling glad I never gave in. I miss that car so terribly bad. Seeing your last vid on the 318 stick shift charger mine was just a bit better. The price you paid is insane. Sadly im not sure if I will ever be able to get another one. Thanks for the debate!
1968 Dodge Coronet R/T Hemi 4 spd in bronze metallic. Try find a museum / car collection to loan the car to . sometimes the best hiding spot is in plain site
Wild part, if you took the same money in '62-'71 and invested $3900 at 8% compounding interest you would have enough cash today to buy 2 Hemi Cudas.
Hide it behind the Lyons Estates sign, of course.
1969 road runner 440 4 speed in blue, if you have money. you go out in the country in the middle of no where, buy a small plot of land. build a small shed or so on that land. store it in there. then what you do is find a lawyer or long running bank and you set up an auto payment for the land tax. if you have enough money it would get you back to "today" of course i would set the car up on jack stands and pull the wheels, remove the battery and all gas, change the oil or remove it completely.
I'd get a "In Violet" '70 Plymouth AAR 'Cuda. Theres a museum not far from me that was there in 1970 and its still standing. Id leave it there on "longterm loan" come back to present day and say my grandpa left me this 'Cuda and take it back.
You hide it in a abandoned mine I know of someone who found a green hemi charger with 400 miles on it the guy died in Vietnam but before he left drained all the fluid and took off tires stacked them in the corner of the garage and left the car on jackstands with a car cover over it in his mom's garage
Mine would be a black 70 superbee hemi 4 speed and like you mentioned building a secret room are a secret bank volt like a tomb if you will
so if you are over 50 years old and you know your family's history and housing situation over the years it becomes easier. I was born in 1968 so I'm drawn to 1968 cars . in the 1970's growing up there were plenty of 68 cars around and a 10 year old charger or Chevelle could be had for a few hundred dollars and a super rare one say a hemi Charger or a 427 Chevelle could be had for under 3k. so I'd go back and give it to my 10 year old self so when I get to be 17 I've got it.
1970 Plymouth superbird ,put in your dad and moms garage pay you to keep it clean 😆😂 that old Plymouth was in Oklahoma Tulsa if I'm right.🏁💯👍⚡
Good thinking Chris Nascars will end up ad the Junk Yard.. Nascars will not change the Time line.. In a mine watch bttf part 3 again store it alone..
Hey Chris thank you for the video and I could have had my dream car 68 or 69 Dodge charger the one that had the back round tail lights in 1986 my mother was looking for a car but the charger have problems with the carburetor and my mother didn't want to get into it so she bought a 1979 Ford Mercury monarch acid she kept that thing for years now once she got rid of that if that was the charger I would have bought it off her and kept it for a spare car which I wanted to do and then I would have took it and put it into my storage facility I have a garage that I have a Chevy Blazer in and I've been paying storage for the last 15 years
I'd by a hemi powered Daytona wing car and stash it in claimate controlled storage.
Pull the flux capacitor off of the Delorean, bolt it to the Road Runner, and drive _that_ car back to the future.
I am doing a 1962 savoy 4 dr to 2 dr conversion, In your opinion Chris should I do a max wedge clone or a nascar tribute ???
1969 COPO L72 Chevelle.
What was the desirable collector car in 1969? Model T?
With the NASCAR thing you’d have to ask yourself, but what they would be worth as much if you had 200 vintage NASCAR’s it changes history
We could buy 440 commando engines in old wagons and every thing else. My brother and I used to race a 69 superbee. All we had was a 1 car garage. Gravel floor. We didn't t have the ability to rebuild em. But we could change them in a couple of hours )
1969 Dodge Charger
Go back in time with the Delorean Find an airstream camper gut it , add NOZ and a turbo to the Delorean to make sure it can reach 88 MPH, load dream car into the trailer and bring it back to the future, if the first trip works have the Delorean engine and drive train swapped out for Chevy small block with nos and turbos. do it multiple times until I have every car I want..
For me i am 56 my parent's have been gone for year's. I have spent a lot of time with family. I would trade everything into gold then go back in time then turn the gold into money. Bet on pro sports with a print out of all game over the next 50 year's.
I would go back to 1965 and stay there. I would be around for every muscle car i wanted. I would own the rarest of car's ever was an option. The cost of living back then i would live like a king. Live the street and track races of the time. Yes i wouldn't have all the modern parts we have today but i would care less.
I would care less to try and hide a car for 50 year's hoping it's still there and in mint condition. I would enjoy the times back when the car's become available.
But if had to go way back to say 1957 or 58 to buy the fury, od get older cash from time period, and go buy it, id then have to pick somewhere dry, and no bad weather, so kinda limited to desert area. Id find somewhere i could hide car under ground like maybe government land. Or at friends place in south dakota, they left abandoned in the 50s still there and they still own it, i went there few year's back, and nobody been there, old cars still sitting, old tractor, and had a old fridge that still worked, so i took that home, looks cool in the garage. I plugged generator into house wirng and lights came on. Only thing living there is critters and lots of ticks.
Well a charger you could just let rot in the yard and it’s still worth big bucks
I think I would put it in a car museum .
with the guarantee that the car is registered in my name and cannot be sold..
And hope they maintain it there until I return 50 years later .
Store it in Doc Browns shop.
Such existensial ponderings. Some extreme Shelby Mustang, in a car museum with all sorts of deeds in place. Or just tow bar home behind the deLorean.
When are you starting on Derek’s red 69 roadrunner Hemi clone? He’s listening now… 👀
1970 plymouth sport fury GT 6 BBL A4 silver with red interior /black vinyl top!!
good choice very very rare car
The other problem big problem is the 2 Rs. Rodents and Rust. You could have the perfect stash place but if either of those gets to the car it prob be junk when you get to it 50 years later. Seen a lot of nice cars destroyed by those 2 Rs.
6:09 YES
That 57 fury was in Tulsa
Dry storage on private property land property were you can do anything on to live work farm etc.
Also there's to many favorite cars id like.😂
Assuming you can have a bunker/bldg built? I would do it like the movie "Blast from the past" an underground bunker on time lock scheduled to open on the day i come back from the past.
if that is too difficult i would just buy stock in Coca Cola or Walmart
I'd store it in Leroy Jethro Gibbs' basement along with his boat in a big zip lock bag.
What is a better question is what would you get now to store for the future and where would you have it stored?
Make the manufacturer not deliver it until the date in the future to a named person in the future take the paperwork forward in time with you
first get Derrick a cold drink he looks like he's about to pass out. first off i would pull off the heist of the century something big then go to a small town bank something i know survives into the future buy a warehouse and setup up a trust fund account with a young attorney and have that account pay the taxes on stuff on the warehouse. comeback may years later with a my uncle died and left me this warehouse story then everything i stashed in the warehouse is mine. i would put coins, cars, maybe some artwork, i mean how often do you hear stories of "my uncle left me" who's to say there isnt a time machine floating around out there? true story bro! do do do do lol
I want a 67 chevelle. I’d find a 17 year old Jay Leno and explain the deal to him. And tell him how he’s gunna become this amazing car collector. I’ll be back in 2024 to get it. He don’t get rid of any car. He’d still have it.
Bonjour 🤗 , les années de 1965 a 1970 représente les plus belles voitures de production industriel aux États Unis et c'est pareil ici en France😍. Oui c'est pas simple de comment stocker toutes ces magnifiques voiture pendant aussi longtemps et les récupère en 2024 🤔. Bonne continuation et merci pour ces vidéos.
in a old dry mine in nv,or az
If I had a time machine, I’d make the $, buy a place , & go back & forth dude to keep it .. if I had a time machine that worked, there would be so many options
Go back for 1970 white vg valiant pacer two door Australian 245 hemi three speed on the floor
I was just thinking about this the other day. I did not come up with an answer.
