Thank you, Doug, so much! You finished everything in less than two weeks. I appreciate everything! So professional Ring & Bearing is the best place in DMV.
I'm so jealous of the guy who got it, but also know I'd never be able to keep an 8 cyl land yacht like that on the road with these gas prices. That, plus the donation, I'm very happy to see it go to a really awesome home, and I hope we get more updates... down the road.

I've got a '77 Thunderbird with a 400. I just drive it from time to time so gas prices don't matter much. Plus you can find one in good shape for about $2k

You are just one of the nicest guys ever Larry and you managed to find an equally nice man to give that car to. Your passion is infectious and it is a true joy to watch these videos. Thank you for sharing!
Bless your soul brother. You not only saved a piece of history but you also gave it a new home for free, with a donation to boot. This vid made my day. Ed from the Philippines 🇵🇭
What a beautiful car. It’s a 1966. My parents owned a Monterey of that year Breezeway edition where the rear window when up and down. First car I ever drove. Brings back memories
Hope his descendants see this, will definitely put a smile on their face. He was a talented man and a source of pride for the Greek community in the United States (which his parents were a part of). Really enjoyed this one Larry, thanks. Never change.
That was truly a beautiful car and I am glad that you were able to save it from the crusher. Also, the financial donation to ASAP was the icing on the cake. Thank you for your kindness and generosity to your community.
As a 61 year old man who appreciates older cars but don't have one I find this is so cool what you did...love the couple that you donated it to also, so so cool...love how you brought this car back to life, it was such a beautiful thing to watch you clean this and detail it, I really learned a lot..thank you for the vid.
Not only does watching these feel incredibly satisfying, but I'm definitely using the tips you give to help me maintain my car's 35 year old paint. Did a full 2 step the other day and it came out as good as it could have!
Every Ammo episode is great, but this is my favourite. The little vignette about the screenwriter Vlahos was fascinating. The car is amazing. The work you did is phenomenal. The couple who took it away were so sweet. And best of all, the benefit to the kids art charity. Thanks Mr Kosillas, you are pretty special. 🙂
Kudos to you and your team for saving that beautiful old land yacht from the crusher. Mega kudos to the new owner for being old school - meaning ‘very appreciative’ - and showing how to be a gracious receiver of kindness. We could all take a lesson from this video. Keep ‘em shining and on the road.
I'm in my 40's. I grew up restoring Model Ts up to 70's cars with my Father, Grandfather AND Great-Grandfather. I love watching you do these old cars. It brings back so many wonderful memories. Thank You.
That was an awesome story for that particular car. Kudos to the guy that got the car and did a donation in the name of the writer. You can see the excitement in him when he saw it. Im sure he will do a great job in restoring the car. And great job ammo for saving the car too. One of the best videos you ever posted!

Larry, that was one of the best stories (and best videos) of car related material I have seen on any channel anytime. I am a car guy and I love to detail my cars. I also love projects of helping others restore the appearance of their rides. I'm glad you got the opportunity to do this and I'm glad I took the time to watch the video.
I'm not a car guy, but I appreciate the effort that goes into this kinda stuff. I loved watching this being cleaned up, it is super relaxing to watch new life breathed into things. Keep on doing what you love, and you got yourself a new subscriber!

I have never seen a more genuine and appreciative person to receive a car or see a reveille of a car. Awesome to see and made the video that much better!
This is one of the better videos I have seen all year. Here in the south those Mercury cars were desired my shine runners because of the big trunk and the ability to swap a bigger motor in. Seeing this car restored is awesome and I love how the new owner is not from the States but still loves old American classics. I also really enjoyed seeing you use traditional store bought chemicals like baking soda and vinegar. Thank you for the video and thank the new owner for restoring the car.
That FE, likely a 390, in proper tune, driven gently, can get 18-20 mpg on the highway, I’ve owned several. They are excellent engines, capable of economical reliability or hot rodded to serious HP and torque.

thats so fucking cool it put a HUGE smile on my face, the guy that it went to is definitely the right person, im glad he got the chance to share his positivity that day and get something that he'll love for years and possibly pass down to his children as well
You are an extremely hard-working individual. Don't see much of that in 2022. 66-year-old woman here really enjoyed learning about what you do. Don't think I'll ever do any of it, but I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for posting.
It is so nice to see old cars being saved & restored, & that charity you mentioned sounds like a really good idea, like the saying says ' what goes around, comes around ', well done.
Why would anybody want to crush such an amazing car ? It hurts my heart to even think that someone thought it should be crushed. They don't make them like that anymore the lines the look of them are very special. Im glad you saved it and it went to a great home
Since the guy and his wife came in to the garage I was smiling all the way until the end of the episode, he seems very nice guy and he deserved the car! I'm very happy for him! I wish one day I owe such a car like this or something from the 70s, it has been a dream since my childhood and I hope one day this child in me gets to owe a classic car. Thanks for this amazing episode!
This car belonged to an important figure from history and was gonna be destroyed. Thanks to you guys, it's looking great and has a second chance. It's videos like these that really make a car guy happy 😊

Really good to see someone else whom finds an great old car like this Merc is and not just dismiss it as garbage and crush it. Instead its brought back to life.Of course Im biased owning an 73 T-bird, 78 Lincoln mk v bill blass , 68 mercury parklane fastback etc. Thank you Sir and please keep up the excellent work.
Wow, that's amazing what you did with that Mercury! I hope the new owners can turn that car around and get it running again. You don't see those cars on the road much anymore. It would be a jewel to see it fully restored. Thanks again for the amazing content, Larry. You are the man!
The best part of all your work is the appreciation of it by the new owner. You couldn't find a better one! When I make a give away of not needed value items, I am always happy if the next owner still takes care about it. I am so glad that the right person came!
With everything that is going around in the world, I love to watch decent honest people doing business, donating the money for a noble cause and having a great time. You can't beat that.
I remember my uncle buying one of these cars brand new. It was a canary yellow convertible .I find it hard to believe that someone would consider scrapping this car.I love your vids not only for the content but also for the presentation.
Happy to see that Pavle guy is from Balkan, Larry you reached to every part of the world man! Greetings from Balkan and some other Pavle, keep it going! Best wishes!
The Montclair 4 door sedan was one of the cheaper Mercurys built in 66. However compared to todays car it stands out like a jewell. My Aunt and Uncle had a 65 Mercury very similar to this in Turquoise and I remember it well. They owned it for five years, which was a long time for them. Congratulations to the new owners. I think they will be good caretakers. Great work on the detailing. I have learned some good lessons.
That was quite the project! Kudos for giving some of the dignity back to that land yacht. I’m sure the new owner will be very happy. This is one of my favorite AMMO episodes. 👍🏻🤘🏻
There is no nicer and better job than restoring an old car to life. It's hard work, but when it's done, it all pays off with great satisfaction. I enjoy watching shows like this.
You know its bad when you see a grown man jump back. And THANKYOU for saving that beautiful car from death (Crusher) And that was the right man for the car. I hope he sends you pics after he gets it back on the road.
I am humbled to see someone so dedicated to their business/craft. Love the story and the great work to the Mercury. Look forward to ordering some product to use on my ‘32 Buick.
You had me almost losing it Larry sir. I thought you almost forgot to tell us what happened with the motor and bam, right at the end you got me. 🤣 I can’t believe there were idiots(being nice) that were actually going to crush that classic vehicle. You are the man for breathing life back into it, literally. I can’t imagine how bad the smell was inside it. The man who took the car and wanted to pay for everything is a real class act and you were right. He definitely deserved that car. I hope he sends you before and after videos of the car and it’s first drive after it’s done. They don’t make them like that anymore, awesome job and great video!!! 👍😁
Fantastic work, Larry! You never fail to surprise. What a mammoth of a vehicle and to battle it on tour own is a helluva feat! Your ethics is one key reason I follow you as a top class detailer. Keep it up!
It was really nice of that guy who gave it to you, and the guy who got it must have been really stoked. First video I've seen of yours, I have a feeling that it's going to be a new favorite ♥
You're a very brave man, tackling a car like that... I would be really frightened to even open that car, knowing that there's a big chance some kind of rodent will come and jump at you. But besides that, the smell and the unbelievable amount of mess the rodents left behind ... I shiver at just the idea! So you, my man, have my deepest respect!
THANK YOU! removing carpet is the best part where i feel the interior is REALLY clean not just appear to be clean, keep up the good work and many vids i will like and comment in every one of them
Amazing work as always Larry and the complete story is even more amazing! So glad you were able to save a car, give it to a very nice person who is going to restore the car and we’re able to raise money for a Charity,
Beautiful classy car, I'm glad it was saved. It's too nice to have been crushed. No major rust and it's complete. It's got a lot of potential. Best wishes to the couple that took it home.
it's awesome that you found such an honorable and genuinely good couple to recieve the car. just a great story and another piece of automotive history.

Larry: you are one of a kind! God bless and keep you!
The lucky guy’s reaction was absolutely genuine! he was thrilled
There is no nicer and better job than restoring an old car to life. It's hard work, but when it's done, it all pays off with great satisfaction. I enjoy watching shows like this.
You know its bad when you see a grown man jump back.
And THANKYOU for saving that beautiful car from death (Crusher)
And that was the right man for the car. I hope he sends you pics after he gets it back on the road.
WOW - I'd love to see that car again after the FULL restoration.
Indeed!
Awesome, as always Larry! Love seeing a car get a second life and being able to help a charity is icing on the cake.
Wow, just wow.
I would've loved something like that here in the UK.
Glad to see some genuine kindness, well done sir 👍
I am humbled to see someone so dedicated to their business/craft. Love the story and the great work to the Mercury. Look forward to ordering some product to use on my ‘32 Buick.
You had me almost losing it Larry sir. I thought you almost forgot to tell us what happened with the motor and bam, right at the end you got me. 🤣 I can’t believe there were idiots(being nice) that were actually going to crush that classic vehicle. You are the man for breathing life back into it, literally. I can’t imagine how bad the smell was inside it. The man who took the car and wanted to pay for everything is a real class act and you were right. He definitely deserved that car. I hope he sends you before and after videos of the car and it’s first drive after it’s done. They don’t make them like that anymore, awesome job and great video!!! 👍😁
Looks like a junk car salesman who took the car
This is why your channel is one of my favorite. Amazing content and even more amazing work. Great job, man!
We want more video of the sand and dust actually being sprayed off the car. That is so satisfying and one of the main reasons to view your videos.
This video was great from start go finish. Incredible story, phenomenal cleaning job, and an extremely nice guy that got the car. Fair play Larry.
Steve always saves the day. And that was one of the nicest steering wheels I've seen.
To me This is the best episode of all your videos, i like it very much
Fantastic work, Larry! You never fail to surprise. What a mammoth of a vehicle and to battle it on tour own is a helluva feat!
Your ethics is one key reason I follow you as a top class detailer.
Keep it up!
It was really nice of that guy who gave it to you, and the guy who got it must have been really stoked. First video I've seen of yours, I have a feeling that it's going to be a new favorite ♥
You're a very brave man, tackling a car like that... I would be really frightened to even open that car, knowing that there's a big chance some kind of rodent will come and jump at you. But besides that, the smell and the unbelievable amount of mess the rodents left behind ... I shiver at just the idea! So you, my man, have my deepest respect!
THANK YOU! removing carpet is the best part where i feel the interior is REALLY clean not just appear to be clean, keep up the good work and many vids i will like and comment in every one of them
This one put a big smile on my face😁! Truly the Messy MONTCLAIR with the happy ending to be received by a kind hearted generous man bless his heart🙏❤⭐
Huge respect for taking on a job like that! Professional detailers could easily look for much cleaner cars.
Amazing work as always Larry and the complete story is even more amazing! So glad you were able to save a car, give it to a very nice person who is going to restore the car and we’re able to raise money for a Charity,
Beautiful classy car, I'm glad it was saved. It's too nice to have been crushed. No major rust and it's complete. It's got a lot of potential. Best wishes to the couple that took it home.
Society are getting worse, we need more people like them. Got a free car but still willing to give back. God bless.
it's awesome that you found such an honorable and genuinely good couple to recieve the car. just a great story and another piece of automotive history.
Dude, you (almost) made me cry with this one. Almost! His joy was palpable ! Well done Mr. AMMO NYC!
