I clicked Like before even watching the video. YOU GOT ME ON THE THUMBNAIL! Now I’m watching the video…,
Welcome back Mr. Greek! Thank Ms Monique for the thumbnail. She snapped it while I was deeply considering this poor soul. Can you believe 35 years? Guy just parked it. Ran when parked though!
“Watch this mudflap” hahaha. Great video. A-pillar rust scares me, but I guess it depends on if you are patching and repairing vs restoration. The rest looked good, and the floor are easy enough assuming they sell new sheet metal.
@@ShawnTheGreek I'm with you. The floors are a couple days work. I'll be talking with the Whiteland family about methods for repairs
An Amazon always gets a vote by me! If you're up for the challenge, I say you should save it! They're extremely rare and deserve a second life!
It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be functional!
You are absolutely right! I wish I didnt have so many projects going on...
Thanks for bringing us along on this one Dean, lovely episode, I want to be that old boy when I grow up, but I would keep the Amazon inside and that other thing in the field 😃
HAHHAHA We are rolling over here. I love the 50s-60s hot rod style only for the looks and the appreciation for where the custom car culture came from. I would hate to drive one though lol
Might be a good candidate for a body swap. Find a chassis to drop the body onto. Or fix it up the way it is but put new pans in it. Good looking car though!
Welcome back! There are plenty of possibilities!
I came over from Involvod , that’s a lot of work ahead of you . Check Simpson’s Classics he’s got an Amazon with minimal miles on it . Looking forward to see how this progresses. Good luck.
Welcome bill! I speak with Marc Simpson once in a while. Hes super stoked about this rescue series! Thank you for the recommendation.
Looking forward to your progress. I own one myself and drive it daily. Awesome stuff!
Welcome to the family Willie! Ive been enjoying making this series and hope to be able to drive it soon. Glad to hear you enjoy it also! Cheers!
What, there's a whole load of videos on the Amazon???
Well that's my Saturday morning taken care of.....cheers Dean 😂😂
A whole dang years worth!
@@DeanofMachines hell yes, awesome Amazon content 👌🏻
Crazy rust! I say if you don’t buy it to fix it up buy it for lawn art 👍🇸🇪
Would be excellent to disassemble and reassemble in my living room!
Mate what a find! Such a cool build!
Thank you! I'm really hoping I can make something happen with this one.
@@DeanofMachines oh boy it’s got potential for sure. I can’t wait to document my amazon also.
@@SimpsonsClassics With time it'll come! I have a terrible habit of picking up other projects before the ones I have are completed.
@@DeanofMachines hey progress is progress it’s not that much of an issue. All the best buddy
@@DeanofMachines Easy, that's not rotted, come to Vermont I'll show you rotted
🙂
Hey dad just got my sticker in the mail thanks again
Hey hey!!! Excellent! The sweatshirt will come separate but should arrive in the next couple days as well. Please let me know when you get it! Thanks!
@@DeanofMachines will do thanks again man I really appreciate it
@@TruckingSasquatch No problem at all! Thank you for sticking around. Tell your friends!
@@TruckingSasquatch they sent your sweatshirt to me... LOL.
I'll get it back in the mail.
Great video Dean! Floors definitely toast but looking forward to seeing it being restored if you decide on it (I think we all know you have made the decision already 😂) Laughed out loud when you did the Waterworld reference. Loved seeing the guy’s grin when that flathead fired up.
Dave is a super nice guy and was happy to share his Saturday with us. His grin when it fires off makes that whole scene. We all know the feeling.
Love that you got the reference LOL
Instant like, because Amazon.
I'd love an Amazon, but decent examples which don't need loads of work to make roadworthy are now way beyond my means.
Hey dean, u know I love volvos but this one is a little to rotted for my liking, I'm sure u could save her but I dont know brother!
You and me both my friend. I wonder if I could get this one road worthy again!
@@charlie225 I'm really on the fence about it. I can see a future for it so maybe itd be good content?
This basically sums it up. Thanks for sharing.
@@JoDempseySales hey Jo! Welcome back! The 122 is a cool car. Might be good for the channel.

Tell tom to get his own account! I need all the help I can get LOL
Красивая,хорошая машина,жаль что её так бросили и она просто сгнила😲😲😲🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😢😢😢💔💔💔
Sometimes cars just get old and un used. Life happens and things change!
Save your money and time to put into something else. That poor thing is way too far gone.
You might be right Don. Probably better to let someone else enjoy a struggle!
I have tons of parts for these cars
Oh yeah? Do tell me more!
:-D loooooool
This is a banger!
