ONLY true car guys keep there cars 😂 my grandpa got a 65 ss chevelle 283 4speed and never sold it and now I have it and you bet your ass I will die with it
@@Chevyssboy138Yeah he needed to money to get a house for his kids. But trust me he wishes he could have kept it. Thanks for watching enjoy that 65 SS nice car...
Such a bitter-sweet story. We can all identify with the everlasting heartache of the one that got away. I'm sure that Gilles will not forget that day. My condolences for the loss of his Dad.
You can see in his face he is happy for the car...we get attached to these cars and when we sell one I think we all hope it will be taken care of and not neglected....I think I would be pleased with this outcome if it were me
@@SubdivisionAuto I would be happy to see my first car in person, the family car that I learned to drive in! Well, I saw my 67 Dart GT in a dealer video from the Netherlands! The current owner is in Germany. He sends me pics or a video every once in a while. It's amazing that it still exists.
Indeed as this video has gone somewhat viral... But this is not the end it's the beginning of something else. I'm not sure what yet exactly but you will find out when I do we will make sure to film it.
I still own my 74 Charger SE since July 1995 as my very 1st car. There's always something timeless about the 71-74 charger B-bodies. Awesome video, thanks for sharing.👍🏁
I still a photo of my Mom's then brand new 1974 Dodge Charger SE in metallic grey with a black vinyl top and louvered rear windows. It only had the 318 but I was a toddler in the back with no car seat so I liked it. 😃
This about brought a tear to my eye, My first car was a 73 Charger that my dad gave me 25 years ago and I hate that I traded it off. What a awesome story and a beautiful car
Yeah pretty common story, it sucks this kind of stuff happens now knowing how rare and special the cars have become. The 73 was a nice year for the charger still sorry to hear it had to go at the time...
That was absolutely an amazing episode...to see the look on Gilles face....priceless....to actually find his old car and for it still to be local was great...A day he will never forget. The tribute was a great touch....a sad but happy episode.
Indeed. Thanks for the awesome comment Swede... and taking the time to check out this video. Cool of you to notice the music and edit we spent a lot of time on this one due to the subject. Cheers to Sweden!
Hey buddy, from one car guy here in Canada to another car guy, so happy for you that you got to see your old car again.........She is an absolute beautiful beast😊
@@SubdivisionAuto Well thank you Sir for asking I love all the classic cars that Ford, GM and Chrysler offered back in the 1970's, but my dream car would have to be a 1973 Pontiac Trans - Am SD 455.
100% he didn't want to show it on camera but it's hard not to notice it in his eyes. It was the hardest and best day for him at the same time as far as I'm concerned. We have spoke about this since and he's happy people like his story but at the same time this stuff has lit a fire under him and I know there will be a Mopar in his life again. Not sure when where or how but when it happens I'll make sure everyone who watches this channel sees. He also appears in the first episode of the Nova search restorations series when I was looking for my own car. Thanks for commenting hope you stick around.
I sold my 72 SE 440 4 speed 10 years ago. It was really hard to let go after owning it for 30 years. My dad had cancer and we needed the money. Sadly my dad passed away 2 years later . I still miss the car but I miss my dad more.
I want to be honest here . My thoughts were ,,, He was getting his old Car back ! . I myself would have given the Car back seeing and knowing how much the Original Owner Loved this car.
Indeed I wish we could make that happen but unfortunately the car is extremely rare hence the value is astronomical. That said I can tell you this much, there will be another mopar in his life and you will see it one day on this channel. No idea how, where or what but he will have another car one day he is looking.
Oh man if you liked this episode and had a Dart you'd probably like the episode on the 1970 Dart we have on this channel. Pretty neat story and that 340 with the proper exaust and cam sounds NASTY! Love darts thanks for watching
Nice to see another one of the Canadian 72 Rallye 440 4 speeds! Beautiful car! Mine has the opposite color scheme, and it's a coupe though not a hardtop, factory N96.
There was an EV2, N96, bucket seat U code one in Gatineau for a LOOOOONG time, it had MaxWedge setup on it till the mid 90s then got sold and lost track of it. Al has an amazing resto shop and has some NICE Mopars
Ah no kidding. Yeah we are looking for a car but not ucode just something in decent shape and he wants a 440. If we find one we will make a video about it
I too was 17 back in '86 when I got my (71) SE Charger 440 slapstick with full package except AC. I miss that car. But it was my first and a lot of great memories. Can't afford one these days but sure is nice to see them.
YEah who would have thought the value would get so insane. Yeah unrealistic for us to get this one back but we are on the hunt for other mopars such as darts
My 1st car was a 74 Satellite, 318 2 bbl. I actually beat a 3:38 79 z/28 on the 1,/4 mile! It was painted with a Starsky and Hutch colors. It was my 1st 1/4 mile race!
Thanks Dave, I know he wants to buy given the value of the car I dont think its very realistic. We are actively trying to find him a new Mopar he can call his own. If and when that happens we will do an update on it because I know a lot of people have been sympathetic to his story. Thanks for watching hope you stick around. I think I saw a picture of your challenger in the street machines groups I commented on...
@@chargerguy74 My 1972 had 440 with automatic trans, ram air system, white interior and hemi orange exterior, rally wheels, in fact it was a rally coupe car so it had the 5 reliefs on the doors...Cut long story short, the car was heavely exposed to salt for its first 7 years of life, so I completely restored it in 1980, new inner and exterior fenders also inner and exterior quarter pannels all factory parts, after that, the car was parked in a heated garage every winter time....Looked like brand new....Sold it in 1988
Glad he was able to see it and it's beautiful. Out standing. Buddy of mine had one in rootbeer brown , black top. 340 and a 4 speed. Back in 78. Hope I can be this lucky with my old 69 roadrunner I sold in 81.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I think in life if there is something you really want anything is possible. If you want to find that roadrunner Im sure it's possible.
I have a 1971 Charger Super Bee 440 auto sitting in the garage. I had a 1972 340 magnum 4-speed just out of high school in 1978. There is some could have, would have, should have in all of us. Let the good times roll! Car guy stuff for sure. Peace to all from Oregon.✌
Looking at the engine bay @ 23:09, that's a lot of blue, too much blue. Is that oem colors or Dudes taste? Educate me, blue hood hinges, blue intake, so much blue it's giving me the blues
@@vanguy7810 cool man thanks for checking it out. Next video to come out is a nova video and much more of them to come. BC is awesome I got to go there to film Survivor man love that place hope to go back to film car stuff one day.
A great episode! And a really nice Charger! I was waiting to see the old owner take the car for a spin...I have a 1971 Charger R/T I bought from the original owner.
Yeah man wish we could have but didn't die to the value of the vehicle. But don't worry Gilles will own a Mopar again and when he does you'll see it on this channel. Lots more to come
100% Raphael you get it. But don't worry there will be more to this story down the line. Especially after all the response it's been getting from people. Not sure what where or what yet but there will be Mopar in his life again
I drove a 72 Rallye Charger 440 U code car in high school in the 80's. It was yellow with a black bucket seat with center console interior and the slap stick shifter. Great car.
No kidding pretty rare so you are among the elite who have had em! Nice setup I think most kids in high school drive cars like a Toyota Prius... Not as cool!
@@SubdivisionAuto It was definitely nothing special at the time. Trust me I did not feel like an elite at all. Back then these were used cars and they were unwanted by almost everyone. Paid all of $700 for it in 1984. Remember that this was coming out of the 70's when the oil embargo was still fresh in people mind. They were considered antiquated gas guzzlers. I can tell you all types of stories of used muscle cars in that era, when they were cheap and no one wanted them.
Yeah its a sad story but don't worry the story is not over. No we cannot get the car back thats pretty unrealistic but we are looking for other cars such as Dusters, Darts, things like that. We will for sure follow up with this story because Gilles is a great guy and I want him to be happy. I loves all the commnets in the videos. Thanks hope you stick around
I had a neighbor that owned an all mopar junkyard, and he had a had a 72 charger se that was petty blue. I was going to buy it from him, but he could never find the title. It was a factory sunroof car, factory hidden headlights, and was originally a 400/727 car. He put a 69 383 in it. It had 10” wide aluminum slots on back and 6” appliance mags on front. I’d still love to have that car. Sadly it got sold to a person who used the sunroof roof for his 73 charger. Same neighbor also had a real plum crazy 70 ta challenger.. that car was a theft recovery car he bought with no engine. He put a 440 6 pack in it. That car got sold when he died
Ah man thats too bad what a waste... hopefully the car was kept around Im sure a title could be found somewhere for it. Plum crazy 70 challenger is the best color in my mind super nice looking car. Still lots of hidden gems out there if you look hard enough. Im finding there are a lot of old school owners who kept their cars in barns passing away now and theyre popping up all over the place.
Yeah he is the top Mopar guy in town in terms of restoration and collection. He saves cars in the worst of conditions so he's very good. You'll see him again he has a dodge Daytona I really want to film. But we also have some other Mopar videos on this channel if your curious
In the middle to late 1970s when I was in high school, I rode many miles in a 1972 Charger owned by a friend. It had a lowly 318, but it looked extremely cool. Impractical, but perfect for teenage potheads to cruise the streets. I get the appeal of this car, especially with the Big Banger under the hood.
Indeed I wish we could make that happen but unfortunately the car is extremely rare hence the value is astronomical. That said I can tell you this much, there will be another mopar in his life and you will see it one day on this channel. No idea how, where or what but he will have another car one day he is looking.
Great story and great channel, nicely done. New subscriber here. I bought a 70 340 dart swinger, B5 blue, 4 speed car when I was 19, I'll be 69 this year and I still have the car !
Welcome to the channel Flussig. That's awesome dart swingers are solid cars. That's awesome you've owned it that long we have a few original owner videos coming down the line. In the meantime if you liked this video you should check out the 70 dart 340 video we have. Kid bought it at 15 and restored it and uses as his daily now at 19! Pretty wild story he's a modern day Johnny Cash character.
100% Al is the top Mopar restorer here in town. There is no one who's better than him so his standards are crazy high. All his cars are pristine. He had several cars in the Chicago car show and they all scored over 990\1000
Agreed but at the same time I get what the current owner was doing he took it back to factory for value. But I loved the previous look so much that I'm going to paint my Nova very similar. That's the build project we are working on this channel
Sometimes a car is more than a car to a car guy I know I own a 72 Gran Torino sport fastback always wanted one for as long as I can remember even before the Clint Eastwood movie came out bought it in 2011 going on 13 years now
YEah wish we could have done that... just didnt want to push it on account of the value of the car... But I know this sparked something in him and there will be more Mopars in his future for sure :) Thanks for commenting
@@ironhead9507 very cool. Honestly wish I could track it down for ya but difficult to do. We may do more of these here in Canada where we are. Finding owners old cars. Thanks for watching
Yeah I think so too. Despite its kind of sad I will say this much, he was really happy that we were able to do this. And at the same time it's not the end of Mopars for him. Even though it's been almost 3 decades since he's owned one there will be a Mopar future for him. Not sure what when or how but there will be and I'll make sure we film it. Thanks for dropping in hope you check out some of the other stories on this channel
Man what I would be able to do to make that happen but unfortunately that care is forth a fortune. But that said this is not the end of the story. There will be another Mopar in his life and when we find it I'll make sure everyone knows. Will film an update to thos story thanks for watching
What I would do to make that happen, but the price of the car makes it not possible. But dont worry this story is not over once we can update people on it we will do so on this channel.. hope you stuck around
For sure. But don't worry this event has inspired him and there will be a Mopar in his life again. Not sure when what or how but we will figure it out and I'll make sure to update people on this channel. Good things come to those who wait especially people like him who turned their lives around and are good people. Thanks for watching and commenting
I think after 1970 horse power dropped, not 72 and from talking to engine builders, reading and watching, compression started dropping in 1969. Although Chrysler may not have advertised it, test engines compression ratio before being rebuilt showed the true story
By the way, my 1968 charger when rebuild was 10:01 and my friends 1969 road runner was 9.5:01, his car was the 383 rr engine and mine was the 383 4BL car. We both racing to get our cars finished, he’s going with a Kieth black rebuild and mine is just going to be a factory rebuild
Yeah I remember him saying that and thinking that the year was off as well.... ive heard the numbers you are telling me. Thanks for dropping in and leaving a commenting was wondering about this as well.
I hope he keeps it the second time, I'd do the same if I could reobtain the first car I ever got which was a '75 Camaro in 2012 that I got for 3k I just wish I never traded it, lol feels weird to still have the keys to it
YEah sadly we cant buy this car back its about 150k due to how rare it is and in the shape its in. But that said we will find another car we have been looking around. This time he will keep it and enjoy it! 75 Camaro nice!
@@SubdivisionAuto I agree it is crazy how expensive old cars go and keep going for, but hey Idk about 150k tho maybe if for having over 150k in it if that's the case but usually more like 5-80k for just the car in it's used in original factory state condition and 80k is for a high end Charger from '72 in original factory state unused still in mint condition, prolly my fav gen Chargers they just needed more Standard Chargers I really don't like automatics
@@coincollectorchase I agree with most cars just becuase this one is a U code car and only 20 some got here that's why. I also agree about the automatics not being great they're okay but this gen matched with standard is great. also that sound of the trans adds to the experience
Awful hard lesson for the kid. I went off a icy road into a pine tree, And totalled my mom's year old Honda Civic. The state trooper that came to rescue me. He says "It'll be alright kid; everybody hits a tree” that was like 50 years ago. I like your last instruction "Don't Screw Up"
Crap, why did i have to watch this while im at a crossroads, about to hit 40 finally in a house of our own with my childhood fun car sitting in my driveway needing a full resto, Do i sell to be able to tackle new challenges and live a life of regret? Do i accept that 25 years in auto detailing means sometimes the hardest fight is at home and to buckle up buckaroo!
Dont sell it. I have spoke with too many people who regret that. Its never worth it. If it takes more time to get to it it takes more time but once its gone you wont get it back
Yeah I can see how people would think that and at the same it can seem cruel. Trust me I wish I could just go and buy it back. But him being my father in law ill tell you this: 1) the car is worth well over 100k so not possible to buy it back 2) He was emotional and sad but really happy at the same time he got to see it again 3) it motivated him to start looking for a new Mopar. We are looking for a new car together, when we find one we will update people on this channel. The story is not over yet... thanks for watching
@@SubdivisionAuto The market is dropping for cars there is no way that car would sell for that much in the US maybe 50 k here. I just seen a Hemi 68 Bee for $69,000 running turn key and he has had it for a while hasnt sold. Even the second Gen Chargers are dropping and the Barracudas and Cudas / Its a good time to look for Mopars the prices are dropping the 3 rd Gen chargers are not high n the price chain
Wasn't meant to torture him if I had 150k I'd do it but can't say I do. I know it may seem somewhat cruel but he was really happy after this video came out. And that said it out a fire under him and we are looking for another Mopar for him. He always wanted it back but knows that's not possible. So not sure how when or what but there will be another Mopar I'm his life and when it happens I'll make sure to update people on this channel on it
Indeed. Speaking of petty we are hoping to do a dodge Daytona also owned by this owner and a 2014 petty challenger. not sure if people would want to see that kinda thing but thinking about it. Thoughts?
@@SubdivisionAuto boy, was I off, I may have gotten the Cougar noted, but I totally dig 1st gen Cougar body lines, did'nt even notice, You're located in Canada, right?, if a Ford guy found a bumpside, down here & hopes to make it a tribute to Mercury, trucks, how hard are trim & tailgates to come by.
This story is not over... We will keep you guys in the loop if you stick around. Thanks for watching Marty wish we could have bought it back then as well unfoeuntally it's worth an insane amount of money
If you aren't a car guy you can't understand the love and connection one can have to a car. There is one I sold one in the mid 90s that I would cry my eyes out if I saw it today 😔
@@SubdivisionAuto a gold 1976 Camaro. Loved that car but like an idiot I got a bug for a 73 Chevelle and sold the Camaro. Next time I saw it some kid had it,it didn't have a straight body panel on it! I'm sure it's long gone by now 😔
its nice to see old cars appreciated but at the same time collectors ruined it for us average people. they were normal people cars new and now they are a pipe dream to have on a blue collar income.
Yup. Im not a fan of collectors who just hoard cars for the sake of having them. This owner is differnt he saves the cars which are usually in bad shape and he's easily one of the best in the business. Really talented hard working guy deserves every car he has in that garage :) But yeah hard to get a classic for most people these days other than buying a beatup one and restoring it (which is what I am doing)
Very beautiful, moving and touching tribute to Gilles and heart warming story as well. The 2nd owner did one hell of a job on the restoring and restoration of that one ☝️ of a kind magnificent, spectacular, splendrous and wondrous ride and to take the man out for a ride and spin in it right before he went on home to glory in that great mansion that’s prepared for us all in the sky when time comes.

Ivan thank you for the deep comment and kind words. Yes it's a story with a deep connection for sure and I don't think cameras can capture just how much this meant to him. He was here today and I've never seen him so happy. And he is motivated as ever to have a Mopar in his life again now that he's back on track. If you liked this story Ivan you should check out the Rustorations Nova series we have on this channel. Gilles appears in it too and it's my own personal persuit to find out own dream car... only catch is we are going to re-build the whole car (and we have been). There is a 6 part search search. Check it out if your interested. Thanks for your comment and dropping in!
To each their own. What make makes the car community great. I agree with the power steering and air but manual lot more fun in my mind. But like I said each their own brother 😎 thanks for watching
This was a great video. But honestly I don’t know how your father in-law did it? I know some people are going to disagree with what I’m about to say. Shame on the new owner for not letting him drive it. Tell your father in law if I hit the power ball! I’m going to replace his charger!
@@michaeladamo1188 man thanks for the kind words I know he reads all the comments and it means a lot people pulling for him. I've had mixed comments on this video some people say it's nice some people say it's mean because he can't have what he once owned. But I'll tell you this this story is not over. Since we filmed this it reignited his passion and we been looking for a car. He also suffered a heart attack last month but he survived and we are making it a priority to find his next car.
So whens he buying it back and putting the stripe back on it lol as you just know he was like damn I really wanna drive the nuts off of this thing but the owners RIGHT here lol
Oh man I wish we could buy it back but it's super expensive due to how rare it is. That said we are all looking for Mopars. So he plans to buy another one. Not sure what yet we are looking at darts, chargers, dusters and a few others. This story isn't over yet I will do an update on this channel again!
@@SubdivisionAuto well....... umm....... huh, does he want a 71 Dart swinger or a 74 charger, as I kinda, found a source, awhile back actually, I can send you the sellers info in an email, its an ebay store that I've been keeping an eye on as I've often thought of buying from them, sometimes their project cars, or a little rough, other times their damn near mint and I think its where Ratarossa found that ferrari 308 I liked so much that came from miami
My wife watched. I think Ya lost her near around 13min in, then you said someone had 21 kids, then she started talking again, lol. I come from a family of 11 lol that's quite a bit different.
Hah! Yeah they were a big family 21 kids (His father). Yeah 13 mins in, the tech talk usually only interests the hardcore audience. Thanks for the feedback/comment as usual have a great weekend cheers!
18:34 Brilliant idea, take your dad to see his old car that was a piece of garbage when he owned it, knowing he couldnt afford to make it any better, which he didnt ever do, never could have, and take him to see it with someone that was able to put money into it and make it a car he never could have made it to be, just rub it in his face!, Brilliant idea to do to a dad.
Yeah thanks he was happy to see it was restored but obviously sad that its our reach for him. Its worth a ton of money so he cant afford it but at least its saved. He wants to get another car though
Phenomenal video and wonderful story!!!👌See my hot rod 1968 Barracuda fastback powered by a 512 stroker, backed by an A833 4 speed manual. It's on my channel. 👍
Very nice car and great idle sound you got there. Glad you enjoyed the video you should check out the dodge dart episode we have it has a sweet cam in it
Cars like 150k only twenty some made it here. If it was a Honda civic or something would be a different story. So no they didn't let us drive it but he was happy to see it and he's on the hunt for a new Mopar now . Cheers
I understand what the restorer was going for (factory look) but ya I 100% agree with you. I'm actually working on my own car (nova series on this channel) and going to paint it similar to this car before the charcoal look
Only "Car Guys" understand how important a car can be.
Indeed my friend. Lots of those types of cars and people on this channel thanks for dropping by.
ONLY true car guys keep there cars 😂 my grandpa got a 65 ss chevelle 283 4speed and never sold it and now I have it and you bet your ass I will die with it
@@Chevyssboy138Yeah he needed to money to get a house for his kids. But trust me he wishes he could have kept it. Thanks for watching enjoy that 65 SS nice car...
❤👍
Just like my attachment to my 1996 Pontiac Trans Am. I've had so many dreams about that car.
Such a bitter-sweet story. We can all identify with the everlasting heartache of the one that got away. I'm sure that Gilles will not forget that day. My condolences for the loss of his Dad.
It sure is... the oldest story in the car community. Thanks for the kind words will pass them onto Gilles. Dont worry this is not Gilles last Mopar...
@@SubdivisionAuto Good to hear. We hope to see him at CTC, Bells Corners in his new ride one day.
You can see in his face he is happy for the car...we get attached to these cars and when we sell one I think we all hope it will be taken care of and not neglected....I think I would be pleased with this outcome if it were me
@@carlelewis6329 oh yeah 100% he was happy to see it in good shape but he was sad he can't get it back for sure.
@@SubdivisionAuto I would be happy to see my first car in person, the family car that I learned to drive in! Well, I saw my 67 Dart GT in a dealer video from the Netherlands! The current owner is in Germany. He sends me pics or a video every once in a while. It's amazing that it still exists.
What an experience. I still have the old 79 Cordoba I bought in 95. Many memories! Thanks for sharing!
Oh wow that's a long time. You are the third person who's watched this video that has or owns one of those!
Who doesn't love fine Corinthian leather? Nobody! That's who.
Thanks for the memories for this gentleman. He's probably smiling up in heaven right now.
Indeed as this video has gone somewhat viral... But this is not the end it's the beginning of something else. I'm not sure what yet exactly but you will find out when I do we will make sure to film it.
@@SubdivisionAuto looking forward to watching it , thanks.
I still own my 74 Charger SE since July 1995 as my very 1st car. There's always something timeless about the 71-74 charger B-bodies. Awesome video, thanks for sharing.👍🏁
That's awesome Terry hold onto it great carsm thanks for dropping in
I still a photo of my Mom's then brand new 1974 Dodge Charger SE in metallic grey with a black vinyl top and louvered rear windows. It only had the 318 but I was a toddler in the back with no car seat so I liked it. 😃
@@jeffrobodine8579 that's awesome dude good memories I'm sure
Impressive
The smile on Gille’s face is priceless! Thank you for sharing this heartwarming story ❤
Indeed thank you Steph for dropping in super nice to see this really kind of you. :)
This about brought a tear to my eye, My first car was a 73 Charger that my dad gave me 25 years ago and I hate that I traded it off. What a awesome story and a beautiful car
Yeah pretty common story, it sucks this kind of stuff happens now knowing how rare and special the cars have become. The 73 was a nice year for the charger still sorry to hear it had to go at the time...
That was absolutely an amazing episode...to see the look on Gilles face....priceless....to actually find his old car and for it still to be local was great...A day he will never forget.
The tribute was a great touch....a sad but happy episode.
Thanks for your kind words. 100% agree
The grin daddy had when they started it in the garage!👍 He was glad to see it again! Really good editing and music.
Indeed. Thanks for the awesome comment Swede... and taking the time to check out this video. Cool of you to notice the music and edit we spent a lot of time on this one due to the subject. Cheers to Sweden!
Hey buddy, from one car guy here in Canada to another car guy, so happy for you that you got to see your old car again.........She is an absolute beautiful beast😊
Was cool to do indeed what's your classic car of choice?
@@SubdivisionAuto Well thank you Sir for asking
I love all the classic cars that Ford, GM and Chrysler offered back in the 1970's, but my dream car would have to be a 1973 Pontiac Trans - Am SD 455.
I felt bad for the guy. You could tell he felt long out of place when he walked through that garage full of classics to see his old car.
100% he didn't want to show it on camera but it's hard not to notice it in his eyes. It was the hardest and best day for him at the same time as far as I'm concerned. We have spoke about this since and he's happy people like his story but at the same time this stuff has lit a fire under him and I know there will be a Mopar in his life again. Not sure when where or how but when it happens I'll make sure everyone who watches this channel sees. He also appears in the first episode of the Nova search restorations series when I was looking for my own car. Thanks for commenting hope you stick around.
I sold my 72 SE 440 4 speed 10 years ago. It was really hard to let go after owning it for 30 years. My dad had cancer and we needed the money. Sadly my dad passed away 2 years later . I still miss the car but I miss my dad more.
Man that's a sad story I'm sorry to hear. Thanks for dropping in hope you stick around for the other videos
What an incredible thing to do for your father-in-law and amazing to have Matieu there too. That restoration is a work of art.
Thanks man :)
Great video!! As someone who has known Al, and that Charger for years, it's really nice to get the whole back-story on it!!
Thats awesome man yeah Im glad I met him he's a cool guy. Great knowledge base too and as real as it gets no BS guy. Cheers!
It’s an awesome car, thank you for restoring it to glory
I sure wish I could see my old 70 Roadrunner or The 70 Dart Swinger that I once had
Where there's a will there's a way. Anything can be found. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
i dont drive at all myself but i always love the classic cars cuz they look good for it time
I want to be honest here . My thoughts were ,,, He was getting his old Car back ! . I myself would have given the Car back seeing and knowing how much the Original Owner Loved this car.
Indeed I wish we could make that happen but unfortunately the car is extremely rare hence the value is astronomical. That said I can tell you this much, there will be another mopar in his life and you will see it one day on this channel. No idea how, where or what but he will have another car one day he is looking.
I can assure you of this , When you want some thing bad enough . It will fall right into your lap !

Beautiful !! I sold my 1973 Dart sport 340 23 years ago...still missing her today
Oh man if you liked this episode and had a Dart you'd probably like the episode on the 1970 Dart we have on this channel. Pretty neat story and that 340 with the proper exaust and cam sounds NASTY! Love darts thanks for watching
Nice to see another one of the Canadian 72 Rallye 440 4 speeds! Beautiful car! Mine has the opposite color scheme, and it's a coupe though not a hardtop, factory N96.
Very cool man hard to find these days hang on to it. Thanks for dropping in!
There was an EV2, N96, bucket seat U code one in Gatineau for a LOOOOONG time, it had MaxWedge setup on it till the mid 90s then got sold and lost track of it. Al has an amazing resto shop and has some NICE Mopars
Ah no kidding. Yeah we are looking for a car but not ucode just something in decent shape and he wants a 440. If we find one we will make a video about it
I too was 17 back in '86 when I got my (71) SE Charger 440 slapstick with full package except AC. I miss that car. But it was my first and a lot of great memories. Can't afford one these days but sure is nice to see them.
YEah who would have thought the value would get so insane. Yeah unrealistic for us to get this one back but we are on the hunt for other mopars such as darts
Very touching story ❤ hope he gets his own Mopar one day 🙏
Your the best thank you for the kind words. He indeed will
My 1st car was a 74 Satellite, 318 2 bbl. I actually beat a 3:38 79 z/28 on the 1,/4 mile! It was painted with a Starsky and Hutch colors. It was my 1st 1/4 mile race!
Love the satellite I'd buy a 72 if I had to buy my next car. Very cool story Gerry hard to believe you were a Mopar guy and a Chevy guy too!
I also had 2 fords, but gave them away!@@SubdivisionAuto

Spent many a fun trip cruising with my buddy in his green 340 Magnum 72 Charger Rallye back in the day
Beautiful car. Nice to see Al is still on the Job. I thought your father in law was gonna buy it back. Keep up the great video's..
Thanks Dave, I know he wants to buy given the value of the car I dont think its very realistic. We are actively trying to find him a new Mopar he can call his own. If and when that happens we will do an update on it because I know a lot of people have been sympathetic to his story. Thanks for watching hope you stick around. I think I saw a picture of your challenger in the street machines groups I commented on...
Glad to see that old Charger still going.
Oh yeah your know this car?
I had one of the 26 in Canada, I sold it in 1988...Thanks for the vid, brings great memory !!!!
Wow small world! Thanks for dropping in hope you stick around. Cheers
That's really cool. How was it optioned? I have one as well.
@@chargerguy74 My 1972 had 440 with automatic trans, ram air system, white interior and hemi orange exterior, rally wheels, in fact it was a rally coupe car so it had the 5 reliefs on the doors...Cut long story short, the car was heavely exposed to salt for its first 7 years of life, so I completely restored it in 1980, new inner and exterior fenders also inner and exterior quarter pannels all factory parts, after that, the car was parked in a heated garage every winter time....Looked like brand new....Sold it in 1988

Glad he was able to see it and it's beautiful. Out standing. Buddy of mine had one in rootbeer brown , black top. 340 and a 4 speed. Back in 78. Hope I can be this lucky with my old 69 roadrunner I sold in 81.

Looking at the engine bay @ 23:09, that's a lot of blue, too much blue. Is that oem colors or Dudes taste? Educate me, blue hood hinges, blue intake, so much blue it's giving me the blues

My uncle had a 73 charger, it was brown with the reflective strips going down the sides
A great episode! And a really nice Charger! I was waiting to see the old owner take the car for a spin...I have a 1971 Charger R/T I bought from the original owner.
Yeah man wish we could have but didn't die to the value of the vehicle. But don't worry Gilles will own a Mopar again and when he does you'll see it on this channel. Lots more to come
Very touching video.there more than metal it's the memories that give them life.❤
100% Raphael you get it. But don't worry there will be more to this story down the line. Especially after all the response it's been getting from people. Not sure what where or what yet but there will be Mopar in his life again
Beautiful car, pure....💪......✌️
Indeed can't go wrong with Mopar!
Awesome video!!! Awesome car!!! 😊
Glad you liked it! What brought you here and what would you like to see more of Jeff?
I drove a 72 Rallye Charger 440 U code car in high school in the 80's. It was yellow with a black bucket seat with center console interior and the slap stick shifter. Great car.
No kidding pretty rare so you are among the elite who have had em! Nice setup I think most kids in high school drive cars like a Toyota Prius... Not as cool!
@@SubdivisionAuto It was definitely nothing special at the time. Trust me I did not feel like an elite at all. Back then these were used cars and they were unwanted by almost everyone. Paid all of $700 for it in 1984. Remember that this was coming out of the 70's when the oil embargo was still fresh in people mind. They were considered antiquated gas guzzlers. I can tell you all types of stories of used muscle cars in that era, when they were cheap and no one wanted them.
@@72442conv very cool thank you for this. History
This man deserves to have his car back. That or hopefully he is able to relive that childhood again and be able to build one for himself again.
Yeah its a sad story but don't worry the story is not over. No we cannot get the car back thats pretty unrealistic but we are looking for other cars such as Dusters, Darts, things like that. We will for sure follow up with this story because Gilles is a great guy and I want him to be happy. I loves all the commnets in the videos. Thanks hope you stick around
I had a neighbor that owned an all mopar junkyard, and he had a had a 72 charger se that was petty blue. I was going to buy it from him, but he could never find the title. It was a factory sunroof car, factory hidden headlights, and was originally a 400/727 car. He put a 69 383 in it. It had 10” wide aluminum slots on back and 6” appliance mags on front. I’d still love to have that car. Sadly it got sold to a person who used the sunroof roof for his 73 charger. Same neighbor also had a real plum crazy 70 ta challenger.. that car was a theft recovery car he bought with no engine. He put a 440 6 pack in it. That car got sold when he died
Ah man thats too bad what a waste... hopefully the car was kept around Im sure a title could be found somewhere for it. Plum crazy 70 challenger is the best color in my mind super nice looking car. Still lots of hidden gems out there if you look hard enough. Im finding there are a lot of old school owners who kept their cars in barns passing away now and theyre popping up all over the place.
Great video!
Well done! The guy has a great collection of Mopars...
Yeah he is the top Mopar guy in town in terms of restoration and collection. He saves cars in the worst of conditions so he's very good. You'll see him again he has a dodge Daytona I really want to film. But we also have some other Mopar videos on this channel if your curious
@@SubdivisionAuto Sounds good.,
In the middle to late 1970s when I was in high school, I rode many miles in a 1972 Charger owned by a friend. It had a lowly 318, but it looked extremely cool. Impractical, but perfect for teenage potheads to cruise the streets. I get the appeal of this car, especially with the Big Banger under the hood.
Wow what I would to live in those times sounds like amazing times growing up! Kids had fun back then!
Great story. I was hoping that somehow he was going to be able to buy the car back. Maybe someday...
Indeed I wish we could make that happen but unfortunately the car is extremely rare hence the value is astronomical. That said I can tell you this much, there will be another mopar in his life and you will see it one day on this channel. No idea how, where or what but he will have another car one day he is looking.
Great story and great channel, nicely done. New subscriber here. I bought a 70 340 dart swinger, B5 blue, 4 speed car when I was 19, I'll be 69 this year and I still have the car !
Welcome to the channel Flussig. That's awesome dart swingers are solid cars. That's awesome you've owned it that long we have a few original owner videos coming down the line. In the meantime if you liked this video you should check out the 70 dart 340 video we have. Kid bought it at 15 and restored it and uses as his daily now at 19! Pretty wild story he's a modern day Johnny Cash character.
@@SubdivisionAuto It had popped up next in the feed,
I was very impressed with that kid ! Thanks again.
Much higher quality than just driver quality
100% Al is the top Mopar restorer here in town. There is no one who's better than him so his standards are crazy high. All his cars are pristine. He had several cars in the Chicago car show and they all scored over 990\1000
"two sets of tires a year" absolute classic
Oh yeah he was a wildman
I miss my 71 Charger . I had in 1982 I was 18 it had only 58,000 miles on it .I bought it myself
I think it looked better blacked out with stripe
Agreed but at the same time I get what the current owner was doing he took it back to factory for value. But I loved the previous look so much that I'm going to paint my Nova very similar. That's the build project we are working on this channel
this is why I have hard time getting rid of any of my cars
I gotcha. I think anyone who had an episode on this channel feels the same way. ALl special cars to people
Sometimes a car is more than a car to a car guy I know I own a 72 Gran Torino sport fastback always wanted one for as long as I can remember even before the Clint Eastwood movie came out bought it in 2011 going on 13 years now
100% Torino Sport Fastback is an awesome car!
Beautiful car & story. New owner should have let him drive it though imho.
YEah wish we could have done that... just didnt want to push it on account of the value of the car... But I know this sparked something in him and there will be more Mopars in his future for sure :) Thanks for commenting
I have a very similar story, mine was a 72 se brougham but I doubt I'll ever see mine again it probably went to the crusher
Ah man that's sad what year did you get rid of it and what state /province

Nice story
Yeah I think so too. Despite its kind of sad I will say this much, he was really happy that we were able to do this. And at the same time it's not the end of Mopars for him. Even though it's been almost 3 decades since he's owned one there will be a Mopar future for him. Not sure what when or how but there will be and I'll make sure we film it. Thanks for dropping in hope you check out some of the other stories on this channel
Thought for some reason when i clicked on video he was going to give the car back to the original owner 😢...
Man what I would be able to do to make that happen but unfortunately that care is forth a fortune. But that said this is not the end of the story. There will be another Mopar in his life and when we find it I'll make sure everyone knows. Will film an update to thos story thanks for watching
man i thought he was getting his car back
What I would do to make that happen, but the price of the car makes it not possible. But dont worry this story is not over once we can update people on it we will do so on this channel.. hope you stuck around
I feel for the guy...some regrets are hard to deal with. I would have let him drive it at least.
For sure. But don't worry this event has inspired him and there will be a Mopar in his life again. Not sure when what or how but we will figure it out and I'll make sure to update people on this channel. Good things come to those who wait especially people like him who turned their lives around and are good people. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@SubdivisionAuto That's good news, I look forward to seeing what comes next. subscribed👍
I think after 1970 horse power dropped, not 72 and from talking to engine builders, reading and watching, compression started dropping in 1969. Although Chrysler may not have advertised it, test engines compression ratio before being rebuilt showed the true story
By the way, my 1968 charger when rebuild was 10:01 and my friends 1969 road runner was 9.5:01, his car was the 383 rr engine and mine was the 383 4BL car. We both racing to get our cars finished, he’s going with a Kieth black rebuild and mine is just going to be a factory rebuild
Yeah I remember him saying that and thinking that the year was off as well.... ive heard the numbers you are telling me. Thanks for dropping in and leaving a commenting was wondering about this as well.
I think it had a 383
I hope he keeps it the second time, I'd do the same if I could reobtain the first car I ever got which was a '75 Camaro in 2012 that I got for 3k I just wish I never traded it, lol feels weird to still have the keys to it
YEah sadly we cant buy this car back its about 150k due to how rare it is and in the shape its in. But that said we will find another car we have been looking around. This time he will keep it and enjoy it! 75 Camaro nice!
@@SubdivisionAuto I agree it is crazy how expensive old cars go and keep going for, but hey Idk about 150k tho maybe if for having over 150k in it if that's the case but usually more like 5-80k for just the car in it's used in original factory state condition and 80k is for a high end Charger from '72 in original factory state unused still in mint condition, prolly my fav gen Chargers they just needed more Standard Chargers I really don't like automatics
@@coincollectorchase I agree with most cars just becuase this one is a U code car and only 20 some got here that's why. I also agree about the automatics not being great they're okay but this gen matched with standard is great. also that sound of the trans adds to the experience
Awful hard lesson for the kid. I went off a icy road into a pine tree, And totalled my mom's year old Honda Civic. The state trooper that came to rescue me. He says "It'll be alright kid; everybody hits a tree” that was like 50 years ago.
I like your last instruction "Don't Screw Up"
Crap, why did i have to watch this while im at a crossroads, about to hit 40 finally in a house of our own with my childhood fun car sitting in my driveway needing a full resto, Do i sell to be able to tackle new challenges and live a life of regret? Do i accept that 25 years in auto detailing means sometimes the hardest fight is at home and to buckle up buckaroo!
Dont sell it. I have spoke with too many people who regret that. Its never worth it. If it takes more time to get to it it takes more time but once its gone you wont get it back
I miss the good ole days , in 83 I had a chance to buy an orange 440 4 speed for $700 and why i diddnt buy it I dont know.
I don't think anyone could have predicted how rare the cars would become and at the same time how expensive they'd get. $700 is insane
I thought he was going to get it back . Probably left there depressed after seeing his old car at least it went to a good home
Yeah I can see how people would think that and at the same it can seem cruel. Trust me I wish I could just go and buy it back. But him being my father in law ill tell you this: 1) the car is worth well over 100k so not possible to buy it back 2) He was emotional and sad but really happy at the same time he got to see it again 3) it motivated him to start looking for a new Mopar. We are looking for a new car together, when we find one we will update people on this channel. The story is not over yet... thanks for watching
@@SubdivisionAuto The market is dropping for cars there is no way that car would sell for that much in the US maybe 50 k here. I just seen a Hemi 68 Bee for $69,000 running turn key and he has had it for a while hasnt sold. Even the second Gen Chargers are dropping and the Barracudas and Cudas / Its a good time to look for Mopars the prices are dropping the 3 rd Gen chargers are not high n the price chain
@@madmanmechanic8847 nice man that's good news. Will help us for sure on our hunt thanks for the info really appreciate it
why would you torture the poor guy with just showing him a car , thought you were giving it back to him
Wasn't meant to torture him if I had 150k I'd do it but can't say I do. I know it may seem somewhat cruel but he was really happy after this video came out. And that said it out a fire under him and we are looking for another Mopar for him. He always wanted it back but knows that's not possible. So not sure how when or what but there will be another Mopar I'm his life and when it happens I'll make sure to update people on this channel on it
When I was young 17 l bought a 1969 Pontiac GTO l regret selling my car I would like to find that car to day
Oh man beauty car I am sure you miss it. I hope you do find it one day anything is possible

Ivan thank you for the deep comment and kind words. Yes it's a story with a deep connection for sure and I don't think cameras can capture just how much this meant to him. He was here today and I've never seen him so happy. And he is motivated as ever to have a Mopar in his life again now that he's back on track. If you liked this story Ivan you should check out the Rustorations Nova series we have on this channel. Gilles appears in it too and it's my own personal persuit to find out own dream car... only catch is we are going to re-build the whole car (and we have been). There is a 6 part search search. Check it out if your interested. Thanks for your comment and dropping in!
That’s a REAL charger
Yes sir !

To each their own. What make makes the car community great. I agree with the power steering and air but manual lot more fun in my mind. But like I said each their own brother 😎 thanks for watching
This was a great video. But honestly I don’t know how your father in-law did it? I know some people are going to disagree with what I’m about to say. Shame on the new owner for not letting him drive it. Tell your father in law if I hit the power ball! I’m going to replace his charger!

I've had mixed comments on this video some people say it's nice some people say it's mean because he can't have what he once owned. But I'll tell you this this story is not over. Since we filmed this it reignited his passion and we been looking for a car. He also suffered a heart attack last month but he survived and we are making it a priority to find his next car.
So whens he buying it back and putting the stripe back on it lol as you just know he was like damn I really wanna drive the nuts off of this thing but the owners RIGHT here lol
Oh man I wish we could buy it back but it's super expensive due to how rare it is. That said we are all looking for Mopars. So he plans to buy another one.

awhile back actually, I can send you the sellers info in an email, its an ebay store that I've been keeping an eye on
as I've often thought of buying from them, sometimes their project cars, or a little rough, other times their damn near mint
and I think its where Ratarossa found that ferrari 308 I liked so much that came from miami
My wife watched. I think Ya lost her near around 13min in, then you said someone had 21 kids, then she started talking again, lol.
I come from a family of 11 lol that's quite a bit different.

What a rip off man. You didn't even let the man drive his old car.??
Not up to me it's a 150k car this was the best I could do. Sorry to dissappint
18:34 Brilliant idea, take your dad to see his old car that was a piece of garbage when he owned it, knowing he couldnt afford to make it any better, which he didnt ever do, never could have, and take him to see it with someone that was able to put money into it and make it a car he never could have made it to be, just rub it in his face!, Brilliant idea to do to a dad.

It look way better with the original paint scheme
I understand what the restorer was going for (factory look) but ya I 100% agree with you. I'm actually working on my own car (nova series on this channel) and going to paint it similar to this car before the charcoal look
