    Dennis, you better be rewarding Alex very well for the excellent work he performs on those vehicles all the time. I don't know how old he is at this point in life, but he has the world in the palm of his hand. He has been doing the best quality work.

    _Now you know why Dennis calls Alex, junior. Great Coffee Walk episode for sure. Looking forward to all the other builds, and the like with Alex being center stage and the huge wallet of his boss, Dennis Collins. (Bringing back these Shelbys for the public to enjoy speaks volumes about motorhead character. Thank you Dennis, and thanks to Alex for always doing an exemplary job)!_

    Dennis.
    I'm a little late to the party but I gotta say I really respect the fact that you are saving these cars for people to enjoy.
    I know you're making money on them, and you should, but just what you're doing is an incredible undertaking.
    The amount of leg work and research to get these cars in a position where they can be sold/restored.
    I can't even imagine.
    Nice work Sir.

  • @glenvinson6896
    @glenvinson6896 Рік тому +1

    I Love the Way Dennis give's credit where credit is due! I see so many of these car rescuers take credit for doing the work when it is their employees who do the work. Dennis does the homework in a very special way. (extremely thorough) but his employees are sharp as a tack when it comes to restoring these cars,

    • @glenvinson6896
      @glenvinson6896 Рік тому

      Just just love this show guys! I learn something new every time I watch the show. There is so much more than just getting these cars running, the history that you are putting out there, that's where the story lies. (👍, YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS I AM LISTENING EVERYDAY TO GAIN THE KNOWLEDGE 🧠)

  • @heavenhelpus479
    @heavenhelpus479 Рік тому +2

    One of the best aspects of Dennis' channel is the knowledge and years of experience he brings to the table. He's always dropping factoids about cars, especially Shelbys, that I didn't know. And I've been in the car hobby for 50 years.

    RIP Paul McNally. That's his GT500 the green one. I've rode in that car. He loved that car. He Bought as a kid out of a field and restored it himself. He daily drove it in the summer and would race anyone next to him. He is smiling in heaven that you got your hands on it. I'm still wondering if you got the original block cuz I know he wasn't running it when I knew him in the 90s. He had it in his garage. I really wish I'd never lost touch with him when I move to California 98. I love the Torino I had a Dark Green 71 351 500 In early 90s.

This was not a "tag on an update at the end of a video" This was an actual, purposeful, update video, and everybody here really appreciates it! Those Shelby's turned out fantastic! Alex does incredible work! Even though Alex's Challenger (or is it a Barracuda?) project isn't technically a coffee walk car, I think we would really all like to see a video of it posted on your channel!
