Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving family and crew. And the lady can still visit them whenever she wants. Great video. Paul was like 10 years old again and it was like Christmas. 😂👍🏻🇬🇧
What's the nicest way of saying "I'm very happy that Paul and his family received the offer before one of those clowns from Texas who buy and sell for profit got word of it" ?
My 1976 cutlass supreme found me I was looking for a 75 because my first car was a 75 but 1 of my cousins sent me a picture of this 76 saying that he was thinking about buying it I told him do it the money was right and if he ever decided that he didn't want it that I would buy it for whatever he had in it so he bought it and about 2 months later he called me and asked if I wanted it still so I bought it and fell in love it will be handled down to 1 of my boys 👍 the car only has 52k miles

As a life-long car guy I totally get this. She is going to be happier knowing the right people have the truck and the car so that her husband's loves will live on. Awesome! Couldn't happen to a better family.
I keep feeling that the people I watch on UA-cam kind of restore my hope in humanity. After 42 years in a business where I've seen the worst mankind can do, seeing y'all is incredible, and the people you meet and share things with, like the lady who sold the car, and the man who began the restoration of the truck, nice people, I thought they were an endangered species. Thank you for sharing.
Unicorns of unicorns, pot o gold of pot o gold, four leaf clovers of four leaf clovers, that once in a lifetime horse, gold silver and bronze olympic medals. Goosebumps, chills, so thrilled and excited for people I dont know but love this story. What an emotional rollercoaster, watched Heavy D and his crew look for Susan Powell now this. Just wow unbelievable when pathes cross and fate gives you what you wanted, all the good you have done, karma pays you back tenfold. Be kind to each other world! Congrats Paul!
@Shawnna Stone Seems great people hail from UTAH!! (I've been watching that mine excavation too!) (Good deeds bring big rewards whether in this life or the next..) If only there were more in the world like them!!! One can only hope for more widespread kindness to our fellow man in the future...
She said I wasn't sure anyone would want it. I don't know who wouldn't want it. Amazing lady. Gotta love her compassion for family and yours for keeping her passions alive.
@@allanerickson5053 I don't want to go into details but I had some serious mental health problems, and watching Fab Rats helped me turn my life around. Paul and his positive "can do" attitude and his selflessness when it comes to helping others was a major inspiration to me.
Found this channel a couple months ago. The demeanor of this guy and his wife is refreshing. Very easy to watch. So happy for them on this barn find. Most would see dollar signs. These folks found a old friend they hadn't met yet. Bravo.
I know that feeling and it wasn’t fake because you never stopped grinning and your excitement never dwindled through the whole process. You are extremely lucky to have a lady by your side that supports and takes part in the journey. Good luck!
She had such a wonderful attitude. Sentimentality was there, but she overcame it to see it on to a new life! Congratulations to both of you! It lives on!
A lot of people would have let it rot in thre garage. Props to her for giving it a new life! It will bring a ton of joy to a whole new group of people!
@@donanders2110 yep I hate when you see someone who can’t let something go even though they no longer have the means to maintain it whether that be the skill, money, youth, or health, and they tell you they don’t want to sell because they want to get around to fixing it someday, but you know that will never happen. I can guarantee she felt some sadness, but mostly joy knowing it wasn’t just going to rot away for any longer. I have no doubt she’ll get to ride in it again. Heck, I’m sure she’ll get the chance to even drive it again if she wants.
The "Fab Rats Family" keeps enlarging with Wonderful, Good people! I certainly understand the thoughts behind selling the firebird to Paul and Michelle, it'll be loved, respected and maintained and it'll be treasured as part of the family, making more memories. Sad to see it go but it couldn't find a better home! The first memories will be made on the journey home!
Oh my goodness! I'm setting here watching and crying. I had to stop watching a couple times. I was tearing up in joy for you paul. This is what hard work gets good people. Love this channel!!! My wife looked at me and asked why I was crying... Just keep on doing what your doing.
Dang, this episode actually made me tear up. Really shows how a car can mean more than its parts when it passes through generations of a family. Enjoy driving your incredible find!
Yes, so many memories. Seeing pictures of her Dad and then she took her driving test in it. WOW, it's Paul's baby now. He will probably Add on to the shop so there is a place to park the firebird.
Ugh y'all are killing me!! I cannot wait for the drive home video! What a sweet lady! Couldn't think of someone more deserving for that car to go to. Had me crying like a baby! I guess I'm getting old. Appreciate y'all
To my surprise in the last few seconds of this video I teared up a little bit about how great Michelle is and how great Paul is and how amazing they are as a team, as a couple. Most people don't get that. Two high quality human beings found each other.
Paul you have to know what an amazing soul you possess. Things of this nature and people who are willing to find the correct person to pass them to just dont happen to anyone. This channel honestly brings a non mechanical old dude like myself joy to watch every vid...but these last two have restored my faith that things do happen for a reason.
These are the reasons I come to your channel regularly. I've always been a proponent that old/beautiful cars need to be shared/driven. It is sad when a car this beautiful sits in the garage for no one to appreciate it. I know it was difficult for her to watch it go, but I'm proud of her for seeing greater value in letting someone else appreciate this treasure. And to let someone who is also going to appreciate it just as much as she and her family did. I also love that you got as much story about the car as you did. We all know that the story of a car is just as important as a car itself. And when we talk to each other about cars we loved (whether they're classics or not), we love to hear what the person loved about it and the memories they made.
Paul's like in heaven now. Finding a gem like that is very rare for sure. Especially with such a story with it. I'd be the same way too. I knew from last video that this was going to be something special when ......To Be Continued at end.
We’ll you finally did it. Made a old man cry. When that door opened every memory from my brother (who practically raised me) and I sharing a 67 Firebird went through my head over and over. I wish he could have seen this. Looked like it only had a Edelbrock Crome kit and Indian Mag wheels changed otherwise it’s completely original. This is something only Dreams are made of.
@@dandog7653 yes back then you could buy a Camaro. Chevelle. Firebird etc. right off the showroom floor with a set of Header’s and a Chrome kit laying in the trunk but most of them was Aluminum valve covers. The Chrome on Paul’s car was added later.
@@mikemiller3007 yes. If it’s a factory 4bbl car It came with a Quadrajet but most people didn’t have a lot of knowledge building them when they had problems and that EdelBrock was a easy direct replacement. I would guess that one was just replaced when the Chrome kit was added to match. Paul needs to ask her about the OEM Carb. Air cleaner and valve covers. I bet they’re laying in that building.
@@ModernDayTemplar606 looking closely, I think it was an aluminum intake on it. I bet that old 326 had a 2 bbl on it. Q-jet carbs were spread bore and would need an adapter to run a square bore carb
This brought tears to my eyes. I feel so sad for her but she's selling it to the right people for sure! This is your best series yet guys, love it and hopefully you made it home safe and sound!
My first instict was to say how lucky you are, but, I think it would be more accurate to say you have put yourself in a fortunate space by being ambitious and respectable! Wow what a find in the truck, can`t wait to see the car!
i am a firm believer in Karma paul and after watching a plethora of your videos over the course of a few month's....you good sir have earned your fair share of positive karma...your a good person who appears to put other's first almost every time....i would have to say that car found you :)P i am very happy it was a mutually beneficial situation between you and that kind hearted woman...may she find solace in knowing her husbands car and truck have gone to a very worthy individual who will treat them with the respect they deserve and honor the memory of those that had owned them before
Aww the, to be continued... series is absolutely killing me with anticipation.. another amazing video from the fab rats family... can't wait for the next installment.
That was a tear jerker in a good way. We have to do the best we can in this life because you never know what tomorrow brings. Good things come to those who do good things for others. Love you guys and can't wait for the next video and adventure.
I'm so excited for you finding your dream car! I'm also feeling her pain and sadness at the loss of her husband and letting go of things he/they can't enjoy together anymore. I imagine it's a huge consolation having both vehicles go to you knowing you will put your heart into bringing them up to snuff! I can't wait to watch the process!! Blessings for all of you!! 💖👍💝
Holy moly!!! Your pops is shining his light down on yall! Nobody deserves to have something like this fall in their lap more than you guys. Congrats on the new toys!!
WOW!!! I knew right from the start Paul and Michelle were taking this car home. I couldn't think of a more deserving couple to own this car. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
THANK YOU guys for not making us wait forever for the Big Reveal! What a gem of a car--and you are the perfect people to enjoy it for another 55 years! Someone said the other day, "Life happens FOR you, NOT TO you." Seems like that's what we have here. The ebb and flow of good deeds and kind words is how the world works, when it's left to its own devices! So happy for you!!!
Love this barn find! Great to see it go to its next caretaker to look after the Heritage. Lets get Fab Rats to 1,000,000 subscribers! Paul and Michelle all the best!!
This makes her so happy, knowing a big part of her life is going to such a good “home”, and will be able to be cared for properly. Her legacy will live on! It is a win, win for both.
It is so nice to see these two vehicles find a home with Paul and The Fab Rats. I know he will take great care of them and get them running happy and looking pretty. It goes to show, what comes around goes around and I have seen Paul and Michelle doing good things on this channel and their big hearts shine through in every video.
What a great lady. And a amazing barn find just a tad older then me! I’m hoping for a good long episode of the drive back just to see more of that beauty! Y’all are super blessed Paul and Michelle.
Paul you are truly blessed. When you found the Yota I was so happy to see that the person that sold it to you understood that cars needed to be passed to the next generation of people who appreciated them and wanted to keep them going. Now you’re lucky enough to find a sweet lady in the same mind frame willing to part with her memories to allow you to fulfill your dreams. I’m sure it will be in your family for at least another and 55 years.
The emotions going through this video series. That has to be hard letting go of such a beautiful car, and 55 years of family history. The fab rats deserve it. Paul seems like an honest, smart guy, I'm hopping his offer reflects that aswell. I bet it did though.
3:30 into the video and can’t stop smiling. The way you’re lit up about this car just makes me smile. The world is a dark place and to see the joy this brings you makes it a little less dark
Τhat was a VERY EMOTIONAL video. The fact that she had all the pictures from those days plus the fact that she had all these memories from this car... I still do not know what I would do if I was in her place, because I do regret having sold my father's Toyota Corolla of 1974.
What a sad happy moment for all. Paul's smile was like a toddler on Christmas morning. Can't even imagine whats in barns around the world that haven't been seen in decades.
Unfreakin believable!!! What an absolute gem! And by that I mean Mary Pat and her car! So happy for you guys what an awesome story 👏 . So nice of her to sell you that car knowing the all new memories your family will make with that beautiful ride. Safe travels 🙏
My dad used to have a 67 firebird 400 with A/C and power windows. Had to sell it because he had cancer. Ended up in Canada a few years after and haven't seen it since. Sweet car
Paul you and Michelle are truly awesome. You made that lady's day. She knows that car and truck are going to a great home to somebody that is going to take good care of them and appreciate the history behind them. You are carrying on Dave's legacy to keep them alive. And knowing the type of people you and Michelle are you would proudly keep in touch with her and let her know how the two jewels you have gotten from her on how they are doing. Words can't express how incredible you and Michelle are. I almost teared up watching you and her hug when she knew you wanted it. This world needs more incredible people in it like you and Michelle. Thank you for being so awesome 👍❤️👍❤️. Sorry this is so long, but I really appreciate a family like yours to take care of and carry on the past of those two vehicles. I have a 67 RS Camaro and a 71 Camaro that I've had since I turned 16 among other vehicles I have aquired the past.
Paul: I had a 67 in the convertible model. Seeing that come out of the garage made my heart jump a beat. Could not believe the condition the car was in. What a great couple of episodes. I can't wait for the next ones. GOD BLESS and safe trip home.
You guys always impress me with your ability to make smart decisions. The second that lady offered to sell that car you grabbed it immediately ! Imagine you waited and went back home and didn’t take it when you did. When opportunity knocks, answer the door. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Where is the ❤️ button…Thank you FabRats family for sharing this awesome content with us, I feel like I was on this journey with y’all. That smiles speaks for itself…that Pontiac was waiting for you Paul. I am so stoked for y’all. Two new builds, that’s means more awesome contents. ❤️🤙❤️
So much awesome! The look of pure joy on Paul's face is priceless. You can feel the emotions of the whole group. Favorite episode (and I've seen them all)! The road trip is going to be epic! Little trees, clicky clacky pump, bad brakes and mice...going full Vice Grip Garage. Love it!
Man what an epic and emotional deal. I'm super happy for you guys. She seems like an awesome lady who knows it went to the best possible next chapter instead of someone who would just buy it and flip it which seems to be the trend.
This is what I love about your channel. You will treat that car like one of your own children ( maybe better). The raw emotion behind it and the fact that she knows it will not just be flipped for a profit. Just like the nice lady that gave you her husbands tools shows the love people have for you guys. Keep it up.

Amazing find! I'm glad to see that it got adopted by someone who really wanted it for a long time, and has all the skills needed to maintain it! Good for you Fab Rats!
Thanks to Michelle & Paul for being a blessing to the sweet woman... when your life and memories are tied up, no price is best. Glad too you'll honor her family. ❤️
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving family and crew. And the lady can still visit them whenever she wants. Great video. Paul was like 10 years old again and it was like Christmas. 😂👍🏻🇬🇧
Agree. Paul seems like a quality man. Which is not something I say lightly and seems to be rare these days.
He was so cute!!!
Kind of annoying that he didnt tell us how much he screwed the old lady on the price tho.
When Paul says, “I’ve been looking for this car and then it found me” that’s the most awesome car guy thing ever

The JOY on Paul's face on finding this garage treasure brings joy to all of us..
Yes indeed
Couldn't think of someone who deserves that car more than Paul. Not that I know him personally but I can tell a genuine person when I see one.
This...I was thinking the same thing.
ditto m8.
Yup. Without a doubt. Paul is gold...
Definitely
Paul, Michelle and crew - you make my 8 year old autistic daughter smile! Thanks for all you do ...

Love this barn find! Great to see it go to its next caretaker to look after the Heritage. Lets get Fab Rats to 1,000,000 subscribers! Paul and Michelle all the best!!
Oh my, what an amazing find!!! That lady is a gem for thinking you should have that car. She knows you will take good care of it.
shes my year 1967 shes beautiful.yur the luckyest couple of the year.power on brother
This makes her so happy, knowing a big part of her life is going to such a good “home”, and will be able to be cared for properly. Her legacy will live on! It is a win, win for both.
This just shows that all those hours slaving away in your shop was really worth while, well done sir.
It is so nice to see these two vehicles find a home with Paul and The Fab Rats. I know he will take great care of them and get them running happy and looking pretty. It goes to show, what comes around goes around and I have seen Paul and Michelle doing good things on this channel and their big hearts shine through in every video.
You are one lucky man. That truck and car are just WOW.
What a great lady. And a amazing barn find just a tad older then me! I’m hoping for a good long episode of the drive back just to see more of that beauty! Y’all are super blessed Paul and Michelle.
The whole car is a beaut, but man, that interior looks super mint
I get the feeling once they wash her up a bit the outside is going to be pretty spectacular as well.
@@jeffreysalzman1497 yep pretty close to mint just needs a wash and a wax
Paul, seeing that smile on your face is priceless. You absolutely deserve that car! An emotional, bitter sweet video. An AMAZING video.
Wow I wouldn't stop smiling too
WOW!! You guys deserve a find of a lifetime. That Firebird is an absolute gem.
The lines on that firebird are beautiful! What a classic!!
I still think that the '67 Camaro and Firebird were the best looking of that series.
Great story. Everyone who has ever let his dream car go will feel this story.
This is as pure as it gets, this is rare these days, not fabricated or arranged! This got me in tears! You guys are awesome!
Paul you are truly blessed. When you found the Yota I was so happy to see that the person that sold it to you understood that cars needed to be passed to the next generation of people who appreciated them and wanted to keep them going. Now you’re lucky enough to find a sweet lady in the same mind frame willing to part with her memories to allow you to fulfill your dreams. I’m sure it will be in your family for at least another and 55 years.
The emotions going through this video series. That has to be hard letting go of such a beautiful car, and 55 years of family history. The fab rats deserve it. Paul seems like an honest, smart guy, I'm hopping his offer reflects that aswell. I bet it did though.
3:30 into the video and can’t stop smiling. The way you’re lit up about this car just makes me smile. The world is a dark place and to see the joy this brings you makes it a little less dark
You couldn't help noticing that Paul had a big grin on his face the entire time he was there.
Τhat was a VERY EMOTIONAL video. The fact that she had all the pictures from those days plus the fact that she had all these memories from this car... I still do not know what I would do if I was in her place, because I do regret having sold my father's Toyota Corolla of 1974.
Makes my heart happy to see there are good people still left in the world
This is hands down one of my favorite and touching videos. I love that people reach out to resurrect cherished memories
The truck is something you can fab out. The car must remain original. What a great find.
100% the only thing to fab on the car is any piece you can’t find, and then to original spec.
I'm not crying, you are!
Damn that car is beautiful. This whole episode reminds me of my grandpa's 1970 Corvette Stingray. Man, I love this channel.
What a sad happy moment for all. Paul's smile was like a toddler on Christmas morning. Can't even imagine whats in barns around the world that haven't been seen in decades.
Paul's smiles in this video exceed 110% a few times.. Congrats man. Great find!
Unfreakin believable!!! What an absolute gem! And by that I mean Mary Pat and her car! So happy for you guys what an awesome story 👏 . So nice of her to sell you that car knowing the all new memories your family will make with that beautiful ride. Safe travels 🙏
My dad used to have a 67 firebird 400 with A/C and power windows. Had to sell it because he had cancer. Ended up in Canada a few years after and haven't seen it since. Sweet car
Paul you and Michelle are truly awesome. You made that lady's day. She knows that car and truck are going to a great home to somebody that is going to take good care of them and appreciate the history behind them. You are carrying on Dave's legacy to keep them alive. And knowing the type of people you and Michelle are you would proudly keep in touch with her and let her know how the two jewels you have gotten from her on how they are doing. Words can't express how incredible you and Michelle are. I almost teared up watching you and her hug when she knew you wanted it. This world needs more incredible people in it like you and Michelle. Thank you for being so awesome 👍❤️👍❤️. Sorry this is so long, but I really appreciate a family like yours to take care of and carry on the past of those two vehicles. I have a 67 RS Camaro and a 71 Camaro that I've had since I turned 16 among other vehicles I have aquired the past.
I think that was the moment she knew she could actually let it go as it was going to a good home
If some body else had asked and did not show their appreciation just for seeing it I think the answer would have been i jusy can not let it go yet
@@rossmagwood1381 I totally agree
Paul: I had a 67 in the convertible model. Seeing that come out of the garage made my heart jump a beat. Could not believe the condition the car was in. What a great couple of episodes. I can't wait for the next ones. GOD BLESS and safe trip home.
You guys always impress me with your ability to make smart decisions. The second that lady offered to sell that car you grabbed it immediately ! Imagine you waited and went back home and didn’t take it when you did. When opportunity knocks, answer the door. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Where is the ❤️ button…Thank you FabRats family for sharing this awesome content with us, I feel like I was on this journey with y’all.
That smiles speaks for itself…that Pontiac was waiting for you Paul. I am so stoked for y’all. Two new builds, that’s means more awesome contents. ❤️🤙❤️
This one practically made me cry, good luck to you Paul and family.
U r one lucky man wish it was me
Bitchin…..
So much awesome!
The look of pure joy on Paul's face is priceless. You can feel the emotions of the whole group.
Favorite episode (and I've seen them all)!
The road trip is going to be epic! Little trees, clicky clacky pump, bad brakes and mice...going full Vice Grip Garage. Love it!
Best Fabrats episode ever....congrats on your new addition to the family.
Sweet baby Jesus that’s an A#1 ride enjoy!
Man what an epic and emotional deal. I'm super happy for you guys. She seems like an awesome lady who knows it went to the best possible next chapter instead of someone who would just buy it and flip it which seems to be the trend.
Score!!! 🎊 I am so happy for you, Paul and Michelle; this couldn’t have happened to nicer people! I hope your drive home was uneventful and safe. 😊😎
Awesome! What an amazing lady. Her husband would have owned UA-cam if they had it back then when he was wrenching.
She seems like such a nice, genuine lady.
This was great! What a find and what a wonderful lady!
This is what I love about your channel. You will treat that car like one of your own children ( maybe better). The raw emotion behind it and the fact that she knows it will not just be flipped for a profit. Just like the nice lady that gave you her husbands tools shows the love people have for you guys. Keep it up.
So happy for you. What a great story. Hard to keep a dry eye when she started talking about how much the car meant to her. I get it.
She's happy.....you're happy, that's all that matters, great score bro
Congratulations on your beautiful new vehicles: I didn’t think it could get better than the ‘42 Chevy, but then it DID. Best wishes from 🇨🇦

This is amazing, it is crazy how things work out, who would have guessed that a UA-cam channel could bring great people together in such a ways . Happy for you all
10:30 - I love that there are parts of America that still generate such stories. That's beautiful, man 👍🤘 I wish we celebrated one another's wins rather than fixating on each other's failures
Absolutely right…
Mercia…
I am smiling as much as you are Paul, lucky guy!
Amazing find! I'm glad to see that it got adopted by someone who really wanted it for a long time, and has all the skills needed to maintain it! Good for you Fab Rats!
Thanks to Michelle & Paul for being a blessing to the sweet woman... when your life and memories are tied up, no price is best. Glad too you'll honor her family. ❤️
This road trip is amazing. Thanks for bringing us along.
JUST DAMN. My dream car revealed. WHAT A FIND!
