I could listen to Chris talk about his collection for days. I enjoy when someone has such knowledge of the history and engineering of their cars. A true car guy.
It has been an honor to see your television program and now your UA-cam channel and see that freshness of the art of making true jewels of automobiles is preserved, and from an old car, polish it and turn it into a diamond. I have seen several TV shows on various platforms but I follow you because your Garage Monkey team makes us live the day to day of incredible car changes. Thanks for your work and keep going. It has been exciting to continue watching each chapter. From Mexico the best for you.
Chris has such a knowledge and collection of pictures and facts about things he own. Such a fantastic collection of cars. He could open up museum while making tours telling visitors his stories.
@@clever7334 color blind? In this video we see 6 cars (1 was undercover in the back) The 1st car discussed the "Austin Healey Sprite" or bug eye Sprite was red, The movie car from "Rebel Without a Cause" and a red Merc. with a white top. There were also 2 black cars shown: a 34 Ford Cabriolet parked at the front of the shop (but not discussed) & the Digger.
I’m in England and, before now, have never fully understood the passion for hot rods - but now I do! All the cars in the video are simply awesome and I would love to own any of them. As always this was an excellent video!
Richard all I can say is respect!!!! You have truly earned everything you have, all a man can say is you rock!!!! I wish you the best, u give this old man something to smile about during the extremely hard times my family is going through Thank you
I remember watching and talking with Mike while he was working on the Digger at his shop off of Reeder. I worked with Mike Burkhart across the parking lot. I almost got a ride in it. Glad to see it is still alive.
Ha! I remember seeing that car when I lived in Dallas in 1985. I had no idea it was some famous car. I was just blown away that somebody was out cruising around city streets in a dragster.
I watched Mike Minette build the Digger. I knew Mike Haley that was his shop partner on Reeder and they both worked in the engineering department at Rochester Gauges on Harry Hines while I was in the tooling shop there. I would love to see this car again.
I love the garage trips where we get to check out different cars and projects along with gaining knowledge about cars that are heritage pieces as well as works of art. Digger will find its way home...
I love the episode it was a good one and the drag car is awesome so hopefully Chris will part with it. Can't wait to see it done and on the road. Thanks again for another great episode.
I have been away from the show too long, and now I am a loyal follower and customer. Richard you bring back a ton of memories I truly appreciate that more than you could possibly know thank you sir I am a loyal follower.
Love your freaking content Richard have been following you since the discovery channel era since Arron have never left watching ever since even bought merchandise at your shop when visiting and had a beautiful time at your restaurant with my wife so much love to you and your crew blessing from San Antonio Texas!!!!!
This here son, this is the Gas Monkey I like to watch. Not that Cooperate crap Gorilla glue crap a few weeks back. We got enough of that shit from OC Choppers, and the Discovery G.M. from days gone by.
Great stuff Richard. And I’m still in this 2010 shut box Kia forte coupe. It’s on its last wheel so to speak. If you have a spare, look me up, I’m 53 and need a better Whip at this point. Great Show! Rock On!!!
You showed some class at the end Richard talking about the deal going sour with your friend Chris. It's easier to come a cross a good car than a good friend. Good friends hard to find.
How good of a friend is he really,though? If he wasn't ready to sell his car he should've politely said "it's not for sale".That being said,once a deal has been made and you've shook a man's hand it's final and the deal should be honored.
As sad as it is to sell your baby it would be reassuring to know that he won't change a thing but preserve it's provenance/history and only do minor tweaks. And his sketches are truly amazing!. Overall one helluva guy and his appreciation for the builders original vision and willingness to preserve that is unmatched in my opinion. This was a great video and I thank you as always GMG for sharing the story and journey with us all. 🙏🙏🍻
A man is only as good as his word. Chris made a deal and shook hands I’ve been there many a time and regretted it later but I gave my word and I stuck to it. A few years ago I had a guy offer me a collectible guitar from a famous musician who was an inspiration to me I made a deal the guy backed out a year later he reached out he was in need of money and was willing to let the thing go cheap and I told him no thanks even though I wanted it badly! It seriously pissed me off that he backed out after we had a handshake on it.
@@jimmycline4778 now he was jumping at the bit for that car I would have loaded it up and left the coop for him to drool over and you would have had both titles in your hand and the digger in your shop the next day?
Richard Rawlings you are the man to sell 28 cars for 1 million is the bomb and now going after something that you wanted is even more badass have a good day
Here’s a little tip to anyone watching this video about buying cars. Never look to excited about a car until the deal is done otherwise you can relight the spark for the owner to want to keep it. I thought Richard and Chase was going to start humping the exhaust pipes in this vid. Also take a trailer big enough to remove it straight away and pay the man cutting the connection. You know what I mean Richard hahaha.
Damn it man, I was hoping to come see the Digger. I remember seeing Digger 1 time after leaving Six Flags Over Texas going to my Aunt Mary's in Denton. I lived in Abilene TX. that was like late 70s
You can send those headers to Kooks in Statesville NC, and they can remake them with one continuous tube for each cylinder, not a bunch of cuts and welds, they can do SS also, check them out…
just moved to Florida from northern Illinois - Man, do I miss Portillo's Jumbo char chili American cheese Polish dog with a slice of chocolate cake and a beer. Great show, guys.
Been on the receiving end of a "Cold feet" deal.... Suks but @the end what can you do🤔???... tomorrow will for sure bring something better, hang in there Richard😉👍.
When someone asks "What's the point of rat rods?" I think it should be mandatory to show them this video. The story behind each build holds such an immense meaning along with an amazing story.
Well Rich if you love that Chicago food look on the bright side you've got portillo's coming to the Dallas-Fort Worth area yes indeed Here comes the legendary Italian beef the Chicago dog and a whole lot more.
When you guys past to san antonio and you want a nice Italian food let me know guys, you guys almost eat at the restaurant I work, but decide texmex and it's reasonable. I really love this content you guys are great one of the main reasons why I want to build cars 🚗 ❤️
Assistindo seus vídeos aqui do Brasil agora ,e antes no Discovery, estes são muito mais interessantes , pois retrata a vida de vcs como ela é , o que torna muito mais divertido assistir, sendo que em cinco frases ditas , entendo 3. Mas continuo assistindo mesmo assim, por que adoro carros tb. Richard e Dennis Collins sabem entreter e achar carros espetaculares.🤘🤘🤘
I had understood RR would get out of the POS biz and focus on more higher value exotic automobiles. Interesting to see how this big picture develops after the bring-a-trailer.
Build one yourself. Dragonman in CO. has a street legal Dragster. I want one too. I gotta build mine because I'm 6' 7" and there's no chance I'd fit in a finished one.
I could listen to Chris talk about his collection for days. I enjoy when someone has such knowledge of the history and engineering of their cars. A true car guy.
I was about to just about to say the same. This guy should have his own show. He was so knowledgeable and easy to listen to.
exactly, as great as the cars are without these guys love, passion and wealth of history and knowledge they wouldnt be near as interesting
Ql
@@sts3884 lj,
Chris is a real car guy, very interesting to "listen" to and no ego or "look at me" attitude.
The quality of richard and dennis videos is so entertaining.
Dennis is garbage no prices all bs Richard hands down better content

I love richards commitment to chase being his lead guy and his film crew keep it up guys!! Awesome video
Chris is such a treasure of information and no big ego have him on more episodes
Without a doubt. So talented too….just a fascinating human being
I like that you're giving Chris room with him second thoughts selling the dragster. Friendship is far more valuable than buying and selling cars.
Screw that, he shook his hand deal was done.
A good friend, wouldn't back out of a deal shaken on!
A deals a deal 🤝
Chris has such a knowledge and collection of pictures and facts about things he own. Such a fantastic collection of cars. He could open up museum while making tours telling visitors his stories.

Really really like the new format for your show this is probably the best show youve had keep on rocken you and dennis are really great showmen
I love the episode it was a good one and the drag car is awesome so hopefully Chris will part with it. Can't wait to see it done and on the road. Thanks again for another great episode.
I have been away from the show too long, and now I am a loyal follower and customer. Richard you bring back a ton of memories I truly appreciate that more than you could possibly know thank you sir I am a loyal follower.
This video,and trading car dealing with history,emotion,and friendship was the best!

The Digger is freaking amazing. Put a nice interior in it, chrome pipes and heat shields and that thing will look mean as hell. heck yeah!
Thank you so much for improving the audio on the videos !!
❤❤❤❤it amazes me how these vehicles become treasured unique pieces of historical art.
Taking a note out of Dennis's book eh, goodon ya. Better video than most of your recent stuff.
I've been to that farm, I love it there. I've been in almost every building and was there to help put up one on the fences!
I love this, seems much more honest than from discovery. much more life to life experience.
2 knowledgeable car guys in love with the same car and history. Awesome. 👍🤘
The whole video we are looking and watching Richard, show the cars!!!
26:00 that car sounds frigging awesome
Great stuff Richard. And I’m still in this 2010 shut box Kia forte coupe. It’s on its last wheel so to speak. If you have a spare, look me up, I’m 53 and need a better Whip at this point. Great Show! Rock On!!!

Last time they saw each other was 10 years ago. Not friends.
Richard is playing the long game for the other car he liked in there now.

When Richard goes through airport security, TSA knows to put two more beers in his murse for the journey ahead 🇺🇲🤙🤣
It’s cool watching some big dogs circling each other and doing some wheeling and dealing. A bunch of knowledge and Money between them fellas.
that car story so inspiring about the rebel without a cause orange paint is just awsome to listen too. .
right on Richard warm beer will always be better than no beer.

It would take 12 years to get drunk off light beer..
Who is Richard Rollings? 😅

You might’ve had a few beers too

Hi Richard this is Danny Daniels I have a 77 bet with a 383 stroker in it and a 5-speed that I'm restoring you got any helpful tips on interior
He's probably the best guest they ever had. You can tell Richard respects him so much. He also helped him start the show by buying that car

💥Wow!! New cars to holeshot into the wall at the drag strip.
Buying Fred back would be epic. Also having Arraon there would be icing on the cake 👍👌
Color grading is spot on. Whoever is doing the post production has skillz.
Some Cool Rides!! Detroit Loves you guys!!!! G
Reminds me a lot of Tom Daniel’s Tarantula model kit.
I recognised that chopped Rebel Ford coupe, in the movie it had a mismatched coloured trunk.
Speedway Motors....Lincoln Nebraska!!!
That's a sweet V-Max...and looks like a KZ1000 next to it
How yall stand the heat out there lol i was in dallas for 2 days my dog was just to hot to stay lol i came back to ky lol god bless yall
a friend of mine in Rockford , Illinois has a double engine dragster (16 piston ) if you want to see it . His father ran it and so did he .
Rebel Without a Cause is such an American classic. Couldn't be more fitted for Chris to own this car.
The older Vmax in the background was awesome. ❤
You can send those headers to Kooks in Statesville NC, and they can remake them with one continuous tube for each cylinder, not a bunch of cuts and welds, they can do SS also, check them out…
Street legal dragster was famous cruzing Forest Lane .... I first saw it there in '75 '76 .......
I'm really enjoying this direction of the youtube channel, keep it up guy's. There's a character behind every one of these car's with a story to tell.
To good times and good memories! Cheers 🥂
just moved to Florida from northern Illinois - Man, do I miss Portillo's Jumbo char chili American cheese Polish dog with a slice of chocolate cake and a beer. Great show, guys.

just awesome in every aspect !
I always get Portillo’s hot dogs when I am in Chicago. There are other competitors, but Portillo’s is the best. Delicious!
Good episode, refreshing to see this type of content👍👍
You're a good man Richard for not push name When it's meant to happen it'll happen you'll get it back someday
I knew when Richard made a decision to take the 32 back home in the trailer that he was risking sellers remorse.
Yup should have left the 32 and took the digger I thought the same man oh well the guy is wrong for backing out
Awesome show
Been on the receiving end of a "Cold feet" deal.... Suks but @the end what can you do🤔???... tomorrow will for sure bring something better, hang in there Richard😉👍.
I have the magazine with the Digger, I guess I was in Jr high back then. Didn’t know how it passed inspection. Now I know. Pretty damn cool.
Sean/Shawn is a awesome transporter
That thing need a badass diamond tucked black velour interior
Great video Richard. Keep it going!
When someone asks "What's the point of rat rods?" I think it should be mandatory to show them this video. The story behind each build holds such an immense meaning along with an amazing story.
There were no rat rods in this show.
I didn’t see any rat rods in this video? There is a huge difference between a hot rod and a rat rod.
Joe's Italian Villa...Palos Hills..formerly of Bridgeview...best thin crust pizza in the Chicagoland Area✌️
Would love to see a video on what each car at bring a trailer sold for.
Well Rich if you love that Chicago food look on the bright side you've got portillo's coming to the Dallas-Fort Worth area yes indeed
Here comes the legendary Italian beef the Chicago dog and a whole lot more.
So many cool stories and cars.
