watching dave at the end of this video reminds me of watching mike sit on a milk crate and just stare at blasphemi back when they were building it on roadkill. congrats on finding a great car and the happiness that brings.
Personality, yes. Hoarding, not so much. It's one thing to save old cars, but not great for the hobby when you choose to let half of them rot to nothing when there's countless guys that would give their left nut to restore them.
What ? People who have great stuff that someone else would actually use but they won’t sell it and would rather let it rot away?? No thanks! I’d rather him be an asshole who would sell stuff
I think Newbern is crying at the end. That’s cool the yard owner would let you pick and complete as much as possible a car. Especially after saying only have one thing for sale.
That is a rare example of REAL Southern Hospitality. You meet some people in the back woods that are just the kindest souls. Dickey is what we all should be! And it's sweet that he's ACTUALLY restoring cars. He's sitting on a lot for sure, but he's actually working on a bunch too.
Dickie is the man when it comes to trifives. He’s built numerous cars and helped many people finish theirs including me . He’s a true wealth of knowledge and history. There’s nothing better than a Dickie built trifive.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I can’t believe what you did for newbern If I only had friends like that in my life. He’s so lucky to have a friend like you. Finnegan you are the best straight up wonderful man.
Im just starting out (at 32), curious to see where my personal documented car life videos go 😄 Fin it just killing it. Been addicted to Roadkill since the first episode, only grown from there.
I see you meet Dickie Jones this man has built some nice 57 Chevys the first one I ever seen was a yellow Nomad I think it was in the mid to late seventies I really got to say one of the finest I ever seen and talk about convertibles none better He built a 4 door for a late friend of mine JC what a car. If you want some one to build you a nice 57 he is the man
Man thanks for the footage of the junkyard with the old man. I felt like I was there and there’s nothing I love more than a junkyard and listening to an ole hot rodder that knows his stuff.
Them old gearheads like Dicky did us all a huge favor collecting and preserving them old cars. It is no wonder that they guard those treasures, if you can get them talking and prove that you feel the same way that they do they are quite generous as they want to see the younger generations continue on with that passion they have.
Isnt this how most of us get our project cars? I have lost count over the decades how many times I dragged home whole cars when I just went to find a small part. The genuine excitement of the find far outweighs the reality of what you have just done and the explaining you will have to do later. To me this is the highlight of all projects - the discovery! I look forward to the next episode!
Dave is almost beyond words. I know the feeling. In 2010 I dragged a 65 Nova wagon from Ohio to Michigan's UP. 2 years later I stripped it. For the next 7 years it sat in a body shop doing nothing. Next month I will get to drive it. I can't sleep until then.
Honestly, I think he was doing everything he could to hold back the tears! Nothing wrong with tears of joy and happiness! Made me happy to see him so happy. Tough to contain that level of happiness!
I am so happy you got to meet Dickie Lee. He was a great man - very knowledgeable about cars and understood people. Put together two cars with help of Mr. Jones, back in the early 90s. Wife's '57 station wagon and my '55 sedan. Big Spring was a regular haunt. Like hallowed ground for cars. If you need it for a tri-five, he pretty much would have had it. There used to be a picture of my '55 on his wall. His wife Linda was one of the more charming women I've ever met. Saddened when I heard of his passing. RIP Dickie Lee! The Fin Doctor has left the building.
You could almost tell the moment the light bulb comes on over Mike's head - "Hey, we could do a REAL Roadkill episode with this - just like the good old days!" This is a good thing - a VERY good thing. -Ed on the Ridge
This is reality, as opposed to those reality car shows. There's still cars out there, and people willing to sell them for a reasonable price. You just gotta do the work to find 'em.
If a guy is willing to get through the 999 "It ain't fer sale, I'm gonna fix 'er someday." to get that 1 "Wife is tired of looking at it, so it's time for it to go to a good home." you can indeed find a good deal.
If you're looking for a "big rig" GPS, consider the Garmin "Diesel" unit. It's made specifically for big trucks, and will guide you around low bridges, weight restrictions, etc. And will most likely get you where you want to go.
That's is roadtripping at it's best. I think everyone following would love the experience of being on a roadtrip with you guys. I live in Holland and since I was a kid I want to visit the US and take a roadtrip. This is the next best thing. Thank you for sharing this with us and taking us with you. Greetings from Holland
Reminds me of when I was a kid. 200 acres of cars, and the old guy would tell me where all the parts were that would fit my mustang, for peanuts. Best days ever.
Had a place like that near where I lived in TX. I bent a tie rod end on my Mach 1 and couldn't afford a new one so I asked the old boy that owned the place if he had one and he pointed at a coupe and said "That one. Whatever you can get off there, you can have for free." Looking back, he probably figured that the work to get anything off that car was worth its value. In the hot Texas sun with only basic sockets, etc and a whole lotta elbow grease, I walked away with a trunk full of miscellaneous stuff (master cylinder w/booster, alternator, brackets, suspension parts, electrical connectors, lightbulbs, you name it) and he got his satisfaction making a dumbass kid work for every part. We need more of that.
i so miss junkyards with actual cool,old cars in them not all modern plastic SHIT. had to be 25-30 years ago ,every junkyard in my area got rid of everything pre 1990. what a sad fucking day that was,cash for clunkers also fucked all car enthusiests
Receiving that ‘I fell in love again’ phone call was such GREATNESS!! But seeing how MINTY this car is when picking it up was THE BEST!!! We’re so pumped for you, Newbern!!
It sounded like he was talking to his wife, warming her up to tell her he's buying a car, and then I realized it was you and he was looking for a trailer and storage. LOL!!! We all help each other in this crazy old car hobby and that way we can save more and more. Be safe!
Sometimes you don't find the car, the car finds you...awesome. Make sure you return when it's finished and take Dicky for a cruise in it....the least you could do for such a sweet deal. Excited for you guys and the build. 👍🏼
Agreed, I've had way more enjoyment since Finnegan started his channel. I'm sure we aren't alone either. I started watching roadkill in the early days of it too. That's why Vice grip garage as exploded as well. People just want less scripted BS.
I dunno, I still love my mtod shows, but they need to focus more on what made the service viable, lately it’s mostly crap and they’re struggling to get RK universe shows out. No more extras... I dunno what they’re doing. They release RK episodes like every couple months... hopefully they get it sorted soon.
I always try to imagine what it would’ve been like on the showroom floor, or Maybe at the dealership when somebody was buying them new. Those cars would have a whole lot of stories to tell.
This might be my favorite episode so far. At first I was like "picking out hitch locks at Camper World....yawn." Then you pulled over at the '57 yard. Your genuine enthusiasm for cars shines through and is contagious! You guys treated Dickey with respect and got respect in return. You guys are the real deal and that's why people flock to this channel. Keep up the great work.
When you get back to pick that car up, that old dude will have it stuffed with every good part you need PLUS, probably everything you need for your other car!!! He feels like that kinda guy since you weren't condescending or tried to get something for nothing, like probably every other body that tries to screw him over!!!
As someone who works at a small family owned and operated RV store/service center, Camping World is the devil. The Walmart of the RV world. Let me know if you have any RV questions you need answered.
Wow that car is such a great find. Its got so many little details that are actually in great shape, like a lot of the chrome/trim/bumpers. This man has a million dollar collection sitting there and it's really cool that you guys were able to work something out. This is gonna be a super cool project in the future to see unfold.
This video brings back memories of traveling with my grandfather to car shows and swap meets looking and picking up parts for the antiques he restored. Thank you for sharing!
And he let his guard down because he recognized you and was a fan thats awsome because he knows it will live again and it will no longer be yard art i love it
So you got the world's biggest square body hauler. And it STILL not big enough! Perfect find. This may be one of your best videos ever. Definitely top 10.
That man has a yard full of gold. Beautiful and amazing find. He should move them away from the highway so people dont bug him. It's only gonna get worse as time goes on and they get even rarer.
When you share a passion, age doesn't matter.You guys are genuine and respectful .. and you listen. Don't think this gentleman wouldn't love your company to produce an 2 part episode getting her running. Go for it !
This guy’s collection is legit. What a cool dude, got a story for every car I’m sure. Wish more people were willing to show off their old 50s and 60s parts and pieces
I watch fin and love his channel cuz it haz that road kill feel but I don't have to pay money like motor trend now wants to watch ,I can learn stuff and be entertained,and doesn't require me to sign up for anything or pay for anything keep up the good work fin!
If you guys get a truck gps get a Garmin 785 dezl I use all the time I drive trucks all day long and it does everything I need it to do. It has a dash cam I think you can add a backup camera. If you are gonna spend the money spend it on something good at least garmin
When registered as rv you are no longer a truck. I drive a semi pulling giant custom fifth wheel for owner. The look on their faces when you go thru non truck lines and tell them to look at what’s painted on side of sleeper “ registered as private recreational vehicle” priceless. Driving solo had police come after me skipping weigh station. They run tag and read lettering and just wave and leave. Drove passed The Thong Sunday and Monday. Love the videos.
Uhhhh....he's letting his stash rust away to nothing because he's a hoarder. He'll be 95 years old and still thinking that he's 'going to do something' with all those cars and all those parts, at least the few that haven't returned to dear sweet mother earth. That mindset does NOT help the hobby. That he actually sold something, anything, is the exception to his rules.
Oh one more thing the hail storm that got the station wagon . you should have seen the new cars I think it was 1994 they did not hold up like the 57 . I bought to new trucks at Pollard Chevrolet that year when I took one over to get it serviced it was after the hail storm the dealer ships inventory was trashed the hail was huge and l am not talking soft ball size Big Spring got hit hard. Keep up the great Videos you know you can get all the metal for the 57
I have done that more than once. Back in the day (mid eighties) I was hunting for a 4 speed for a 65 Mustang and came home with a 70 Nova with fresh paint. It was smoking out of one side. but still ran and drove.
Also done this. Went looking a set of wheels for an '88 Mitsubishi Starion I was V8 swapping, car was a little rough. Dude said I can't sell you wheels but I'll sell you the whole car. $300 later and I've got an entire spare parts car better than the one I was buying parts for...
I also did that back in the 80's when I was in highschool. Went to check out parts for a 58 Chevy. Ended up with a car minus engine and transmission that was straight, original paint and in way better condition than mine for $140.
I just did something similar last week buddy of mine told where a guy had some suzuki samurai. I went to buy a few parts, came home with 2 whole samurai. One of them ran within 10 minutes of getting it home.
Newbern, you live a Charmed life, road tripping this great country of ours, and finding so many copies of the only car I regret trading away. A 1957 Chevy BelAir hard top. Looking forward to seeing a restoration. Make it a daily driver, cruiser
OMG, what a nice old man to let you wander into his yard and film his classic Chev collection. Im a 57 Chev fan to and to see all these classics even tho they need resto is a great step back in time to yesteryear. Thank you for the upload and Hi from Down Under Australia.
It is awesome that you guys are able to go on adventures like this with each other. Regardless of the cars the memories and friendship are some of the best things ever!
My lord I was giggling and laughing so many times seeing all the tri five rusty gold! Love it!! Ol boys like that are the best, a story behind everything on the yard 😁😁😁😁 y'all hit the tri 5 honey hole 🥳🥳🥳

The fact that he is a roadkill fan makes this soooooo good
You need to give him a bunch of swag when you pick up the car.
@@davidw4586 100% ... what a legend!!
I WAS JUST COMING TO SAY THIS. LOL. OG fan at that.
He's feeding them with a project that he can watch them build online.
@@krusher74 you’re right. He’d definitely love to see updates
watching dave at the end of this video reminds me of watching mike sit on a milk crate and just stare at blasphemi back when they were building it on roadkill. congrats on finding a great car and the happiness that brings.
That is so true! Good call!
But without the tears, and the weird euphemisms😂😂
What nice old guy. Need more people like him in the world
His laugh had me smiling and what an attitude "Square body suburbans can hold a hell of a lot of 57 parts!" Never change, Dicky!
Personality, yes. Hoarding, not so much. It's one thing to save old cars, but not great for the hobby when you choose to let half of them rot to nothing when there's countless guys that would give their left nut to restore them.
I have a 53 110 chevy I have to say I think they look nice with less trim really no other difference but not many people know that
What ? People who have great stuff that someone else would actually use but they won’t sell it and would rather let it rot away?? No thanks! I’d rather him be an asshole who would sell stuff
@@hydrocarbon82 Yes , he's not a young man , best he sells most and cuts them loose to others.
I know this is two years ago, but Dicky is a great example of the "Greatest generation" ever. Stand up guy and very polite and honest. RIP.
Did he pass away?
Hadn't heard that voice since I was a little kid. RIP Dickie
I think Newbern is crying at the end. That’s cool the yard owner would let you pick and complete as much as possible a car. Especially after saying only have one thing for sale.
Those are called happy tears
That is a rare example of REAL Southern Hospitality. You meet some people in the back woods that are just the kindest souls. Dickey is what we all should be!
And it's sweet that he's ACTUALLY restoring cars. He's sitting on a lot for sure, but he's actually working on a bunch too.
Tears thinking “I am never going to financially recover from this.”
The ' OL junkyard Dog trick of " only selling one thing- today only?
that's the happiest I've ever seen him
This is America. What a great experience. What a great score. And how fortunate we all are that you could document it for us. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
We need a Finnegan fleet rundown. I can't keep track of it all in my head any more.
Same here
@@XJlover90 i'll do that soon. i ran out of room at home so they aren't all in one place. and most of them dont run. lol
Yeah, I know how that is

I don't know how Mike and crew find the time to do such great editing, especially having families.
wearing the mics is a pain but i'm glad people are appreciating it. also, alot of the quality can be attributed to our new editor, chris read.
@@FinnegansGarage the time and effort to do good editing is insane. Thanks Chris!
Yes, the mics are great!
Mics are a significant improvement!
This trip has been the best thing on RUclips this year!!
It's not even over. Next one they'll probably buy some more boats. I'm predicting one or two follow up trips.
But have you seen the 2jz simplicity mower?
Your wives will never let the two of you roadtrip together again with the amount of things you find along the way
Lol
I'm only 21 now but my goal in life is to be like dickie. The yard and the personality, he's an American classic for sure

Words to live by: “Always take the off ramp”. Love it! Congrats on the new family member. Haha

Dickie is freaking awesome. I hope you hook him up with a ton of FSM and roadkill swag
This is my favorite episode of FG so far. Keep up the good work! Can’t wait to see what y’all do with the newest acquisition.
When you share a passion, age doesn't matter.You guys are genuine and respectful .. and you listen.
Don't think this gentleman wouldn't love your company to produce an 2 part episode getting her running.
Go for it !
This guy’s collection is legit. What a cool dude, got a story for every car I’m sure. Wish more people were willing to show off their old 50s and 60s parts and pieces
I watch fin and love his channel cuz it haz that road kill feel but I don't have to pay money like motor trend now wants to watch ,I can learn stuff and be entertained,and doesn't require me to sign up for anything or pay for anything keep up the good work fin!
Y'all need a Garmin Dezl made for semi's & rv's. I use one everyday day for the last 8 years.
Yup. Excellent platform and Garmin has a lot of other toys and quite a bit of IOT setups that can be implemented into the main stuff.
But does it have ALL the Waffle Houses shown????
I use a ATLAS..
Lol did you pay for it yourself or was it the company you work for? No one needs a garmin device unless money is no problem. Overpriced ripoff.
I agree. Same deal for me.
If you guys get a truck gps get a Garmin 785 dezl I use all the time I drive trucks all day long and it does everything I need it to do. It has a dash cam I think you can add a backup camera. If you are gonna spend the money spend it on something good at least garmin
Agreed
Wow. That’s so cool....a real gentlemen...he made a car lovers dream come true...he knew he’d never fix that car up...what a gift.
When registered as rv you are no longer a truck. I drive a semi pulling giant custom fifth wheel for owner. The look on their faces when you go thru non truck lines and tell them to look at what’s painted on side of sleeper “ registered as private recreational vehicle” priceless. Driving solo had police come after me skipping weigh station. They run tag and read lettering and just wave and leave. Drove passed The Thong Sunday and Monday. Love the videos.
I love the fact he calls Emily from flying sparks garage and ask to Barrow her truck and trailer!!!!!
Go back with the square body apartment building, camp out in it & make the 57 run. I bet Dickie would be into that!
This episode had me smiling the entire way through...
What a fine gentleman and an amazing collection.
what a great man . his dedication to saving this ultimate iron has payed off .
and needs to be Honoured .
Uhhhh....he's letting his stash rust away to nothing because he's a hoarder. He'll be 95 years old and still thinking that he's 'going to do something' with all those cars and all those parts, at least the few that haven't returned to dear sweet mother earth. That mindset does NOT help the hobby. That he actually sold something, anything, is the exception to his rules.
Dude you were at camper world ! You needed to be at big rig TRUCKERS WORLD! LOL try any LOVs Truck stop on the interstate!!!
Ahh, the glorious particle board dash :)
You know your good friend when your there there for the bad decisions !!!!!
Oh one more thing the hail storm that got the station wagon . you should have seen the new cars I think it was 1994 they did not hold up like the 57 . I bought to new trucks at Pollard Chevrolet that year when I took one over to get it serviced it was after the hail storm the dealer ships inventory was trashed the hail was huge and l am not talking soft ball size Big Spring got hit hard. Keep up the great Videos you know you can get all the metal for the 57
Best Road Trip EVER!!! Congrats Newbern!!!
You know you're a petrol head when you go looking for parts and bring home a better car than the one you're buying the parts for.
I have done that more than once. Back in the day (mid eighties) I was hunting for a 4 speed for a 65 Mustang and came home with a 70 Nova with fresh paint. It was smoking out of one side. but still ran and drove.
Also done this. Went looking a set of wheels for an '88 Mitsubishi Starion I was V8 swapping, car was a little rough. Dude said I can't sell you wheels but I'll sell you the whole car. $300 later and I've got an entire spare parts car better than the one I was buying parts for...
I also did that back in the 80's when I was in highschool. Went to check out parts for a 58 Chevy. Ended up with a car minus engine and transmission that was straight, original paint and in way better condition than mine for $140.
When your project car becomes the parts car lol
I just did something similar last week buddy of mine told where a guy had some suzuki samurai. I went to buy a few parts, came home with 2 whole samurai. One of them ran within 10 minutes of getting it home.
I love how Newbern turns into a kid in a candy shop when he starts seeing '57s.
Too bad there’s only one piece of candy!!
You guys probably made that old man's day walking and talking about his stuff lol
Newbern, you live a Charmed life, road tripping this great country of ours, and finding so many copies of the only car I regret trading away. A 1957 Chevy BelAir hard top. Looking forward to seeing a restoration. Make it a daily driver, cruiser
OMG, what a nice old man to let you wander into his yard and film his classic Chev collection.
Im a 57 Chev fan to and to see all these classics even tho they need resto is a great step
back in time to yesteryear.
Thank you for the upload and
