Steve's Project REM Charger needs a new home
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Recently purchased in Texas at The Great Freedom Car Auctions Mopar Auction event, here's a 1962 Dodge Dart Police 4-door. It has solid outer body surfaces but some floor rust. It comes with brand new Auto Metal Direct floor pans and trunk floor. Also included is a Dodge 440, push button 727 Torqueflite, 8-3/4 Sure Grip and more. As a factory police car, its equipped with heavy duty suspension, 11-inch manual drum brakes, manual steering and a rare Leece-Neville high output alternator. It doesn't run but will make a great project for someone who digs real police cars and wants a unique machine. Check out my Project REM-Charger UA-cam videos for a closer look.

Man, someone PLEASE get a gofundme going for steve!!! If all of the subscribers donat just $10 each, we could pay off his medical bills and he can keep his home and cars.
Steve said on his Instagram he will be starting one.
He’s starting one. $100.00 from me.
@@RobFromRIThat's good to know
i made one for hi m and will show proof it will go to him "help with steve magnantes medical recovery"
Are your fingers broken? Why can’t YOU start it?
Where is Barrett Jackson and all their millions of commission dollars? Step up to the plate for Steve BJ.
They only do that while at the auction so they have an audience to seem charitable.
@@janesmith716you are correct
Do some reading about Barrett Jackson if you get a chance. They are not all fun and smiles behind the scenes.
If BJ cared, don't you suppose they would have by now? Steve's medical issue has been going on for months.😮
exactly
Frieberger and Dolcich, need to build this..on TV…then auction it off to the highest bidder. Then give the proceeds to Steve
I like it!
Awesome idea!
Yes!
Or build it, and then give it back to Steve, in parallel with us skyrocketing his donations on gofundme so he can keep his property, and restore faith in humanity! :)
That is a awesome idea and I know they and all the motortrend people would be 1000 percent on board with that 😎👍👍👍👍👍
Im telling you it is absolutely heart breaking. Watching a man sell his life because of a disease. He's a legend in the automotive industry and seems like a kind man.
A legend in his own time!
I've been there. When you in there and It looks bad, you'd be surprised what focus your life comes into. Everything's a burden.
Go fund me all the way Steve. It’s not charity, we are paying you back for all the knowledge you have given us.
GiveSendGo is a much better outfit. More of the money goes to the benefactor rather than to line the pockets of people running it.
We need to get a go fund me going for steve!!!
Someone started one after the last video but I'll only contribute to a crowd funding page officially started by Steve or his associates, I have no idea who that other person is. It's beginning to look like Steve isn't interested in starting one for some reason.
Steve said on his Instagram he will be starting one
He did a UA-cam community post stating that he will initiate one due to overwhelming requests.
i started one for steve and will show proof it will go to him "help with steve magnantes medical recovery"
@@dkstudioart i understand your worried about scammers which is scary...but i will show proof it goes to him "help with steve magnantes medical recovery"
If Barrett Jackson does not step in and help this man, I will never watch or go to their auctions again. I'm waiting for the go fund me info. We need to support steve.
There are 3 accounts on the go fund me website. Just type in Steve’s name.
Nor will I spread the word
I'm with ya!
Same with me no more viewing or attending Barrett Jackson until they step up to the plate for Steve!
Barrett Jackson knows the could do something but they won't. They would have done it by now if they actually cared. All the money they have(a multi million dollar organization and Craig Jackson could easily just write a check for 1 million dollars and not worry about anything)
Welcome back, Steve! No one should have to sell their house because they got sick. Way to go America!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!
I fully agree with you that anyone should have to be in a situation like this due to medical bills especially when your older. To repeat what you said "WAY TO GO AMERICA!"
show me a perfect governmental system where nobody falls through the cracks.
Don’t blame the government. Look in the mirror and blame yourself. You’re not smart enough to get yourself a good enough job with good benefits in today’s world. You’re the loser.
@@Ecosse57 They can't, besides we have no availability of all the factors involved. That said, Stave has given his community much, a legit GFM page is the way to go.
Watching him shuffling around breaks my heart.
He is extremely lucky to be even alive... 8 months in a hospital is insane...
I wish someone like Rick Hendrick a Billionaire would step up to help Steve who is a Automotive treasure with his vast knowledge like a walking encyclopedia. He needs to be able to keep his stuff so his spirit is not broken and he can fully recover, we need Steve in our lives. ❤️🙏🏻
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!
I do Ricks electrical work - you can forget that spoiled brat giving anything to anyone unfortunately. He’s a huge piece of 💩 !!!!!
I think Steve would be too humble to accept the money, but I still think we all should pitch in and donate money to help him! I would👍
How about Steve's old buddies from HotRod Magazine? Freiberger, Finnegan, et al? I'd say it would make a great Hot Rod Garage project, even if Motor Trend did fire Steve. For those that might not have understood, I mean Freiburger, et al should step up and build the RemCharger for him
Do keep in mind he is also deciding that he is getting old and maybe wants to downsize
I'm sure Steve has considered all of his options before making any quick decisions. I just hope he's not too humble to accept help from all of us that have benefitted and been entertained by him for years. Thank you buddy, we'll be here for you.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!
He's going to start a Gofundme next week. I know I'll be throwing in some cash
@@GlowingtomatoGood to know, thanks! I don't have any other social media. I set up a gofundme for Steve 2 days ago. Maybe they can be merged? New to that whole deal
@@Glowingtomato
"If every sub threw in 10$" is the theme im reading in the comments 👍👍👍
@@nunya9555 let him set up his own
This makes me so upset. Medical bills should never cause one to liquidate in any situation...yet we're here and it's sadly a common thing once the bills start to ad up. Wishing you all the best Steve and if you so start a GoFundMe, I'll certainly be there to donate!
There are 3 set up.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!
This really is heartbreaking. My $100 is waiting for Mags to announce his go fund me page.
@@johndee9719 link?
It may not directly be the medical bills per se. He might have had insurance cover most of it. However, he's not had regular income for 8 months and has a house that probably has a mortgage and of course all the other expenses that happen every month even if your sitting in a hospital room. Also, it's obvious he's not going to be working on his own cars for a while due to his continued recovery. So why keep these projects around that he wont ever get back to. The guy is an amazing wealth of information and knowledge. He will do alright, but just needs to reset at this stage of his life.
“I can still think.” Steve Magnante🎯
Yes he can and a beautiful mind it is
Come on folks, let's all donate to make this hsppen!!!!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!
This literally brings a tear to my eye. We need a national health care system. This man works his ass off entertaining us and losing it all because he got sick.
💯% truth!
National health care is not the answer.
In Australia even if you are a billionaire you get tax-payer funded healthcare, but they usually have health insurance to stay in luxury hospital setting.
Then what is? We need Medicare for all. The insurance and pharma lobby has every Republican politician in their pocket. They want to kill Medicare and Social Security.@@HaroldMetzgar
I grew up in the military which has free healthcare. I also lived in Germany for many years and they have free healthcare. Only the people who've never experienced free healthcare, are the ones who don't believe in it. @user-dr2jh7do5j
Good luck with the sale. PLEASE let us know when the GoFundMe is setup for you. Keep healing and thank you ~ Chuck
There are 3 of them from a few days ago.
@@johndee9719 The last I had read from Mr Magnante was that his will be setup this weekend. Did I miss another update from him? And thank you for replying.
@@johndee9719 And I'm sure they're all completely legitimate. Forgive me if I wait for a campaign to be set up by someone credible who actually knows Steve.
The one I set up is titled, "Stand with Steve: Every Bit Helps"
I just hope we know the legit GoFundMe and then spread the word. So many crackpots will gladly take the money away from him.
“Buy High,Sell Low” …Steve still has his positive sprit.
Steve, I am so very sorry you have been struggling. I'm 71 and a child of the 60's and 70's and a fan of yours. Best wishes and stay strong brother!!
This is upsetting. Steve's been through enough. I've gotten hours of entertainment from Steve's work, and if something is set up to help I'll chip in. I'm not rich by any means, but we're ALL richer for having Steve around!
I couldn't have said it better. 👍
This breaks my heart. Someone with the means help Steve out !
I just sent Barrett Jackson an email off their website to please do a charity auction of The Fairmont. Need everyone to contact them any way you can to request this. There are great bidders at these events that could really help Steve out when he needs it most!
i can't watch this. i saw it in my feed and literally got sick to my stomach. steve's personal affairs are none of my business, and rightfully so i'm not privy to details, but if these are a forced sale it breaks my heart. this guy has given the industry and hobby so much.
I hope that someone with the means, someone like a Jay Leno or Tim Allen will get wind of this , Steve is a living legend, and a dying breed
I hope someone from Barrett Jackson is stepping in to try to get something going to help Steve. Plus, I think they should make some type of contribution for his services over the years.
Maybe they have already and I know he probably wouldn’t mention it, but I tend to think otherwise.
Keep in mind, Steve is employed by the channel that airs the show, not Barrett-Jackson. Although, I think they could certainly help, but as others have noted, they are not necessarily the jovial group we see at the auctions.
@@azandy99 that's a good point. Craig Jackson has a bunch of millionaire friends in the car community. Steve has done a lot for that community and maybe they can spare some change.
I believe you're correct
Get the official gofundme going, us fans will blow the top off. I'll definitely do my share and I bet some will do much more.
So sad how many extremely hardworking people their entire lives get ruined by medical expenses. Sorry Steve, you have such a great attitude after all you’ve been through.
Many people would rather vote against their own self interest and let a situation like this happen to them if it meant someone they're told to hate has to go through the same thing
@@Nasty-Canasta this isnt Canada... this is America! oooff...
Sad folks jumping the southern fence are getting free health care but folks like Steve are having to sell everything. Thanks Biden for helping Americans. Biden= Americans last. Illegals first. Very sad.
Keep up hope. I was a car guy/ mechanic for over 50 years. Thought I'd continue to do so upon retirement. But was diagnosed with ALS. All my plans down the drain. Prayers for you. 🙏🙏🙏
Steve. You are not alone. The community will step up. Thank you for all automotive knowledge. You are a gift to the hobby.
Man it must be terrible to admit defeat and get rid of a project car, I feel for you Steve.
He’s not admitting defeat. He’s doing what he needs to, even though we all know he’d rather not have to sell anything.
Very true @davidp2888! I was actually offended by the statement that Steve was "admitting defeat ". I believe that to be far from the truth. There's not one person commenting that knows what Steve is truly going through through. I believe that we shouldn't be labeling or passive judgements and just be super grateful that it didn't kill him-and here he is entertaining us onc again. I sincerely hope I didn't offend anyone, just like everyone else does-i was just posting my opinion. I am beyond elated to see Steve doing a very recent video. Hopefully there is a lot more to come!
Another way to look at it is that Steve is giving us all the opportunity to purchase one oh HIS cars.
Defeat!!!? What kind of F’d up thinking is this?
Not defeat. Moving to the next chapter of his life. Just like he said.
We've likely all seen the guy who holds on to projects so lo g that they rot into the ground. Steve knows that someone else can find enjoyment in them.
Steves magazine and literature collection should be in a museum
5 years ago I had an accident involving me under a large dump truck. Throughout my recovery, I would look at the next step ans say to myself "This is MY new normal", good or bad, I'm still here, I'm sure going to make the best of it. Keep up the fight Steve, and make it your new normal.
Mr. Magnante with all do respect sir please don't say you can't! I know some things have changed but you still have that fire inside you that makes us come back to watch your videos everyday. I'm so happy you're out of the hospital and I'm so happy you're still with us. It's good to see you back on I have learned so much from you my friend .
just curious where the hell are all his former friends and coworkers
ignoring him. They pretended to care by making those videos to appear concerned. Oh we're helping Steve's UA-cam channel while he recovers. BS. They are all millionaires. They should be writing him checks to help him get out of this hole.
like all "friends", they turn their backs on you when the chips are down.
Times like this show you who real friends are.
Don't sell the dart either, Steve. We will be looking for the go fund me page
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!
If he can't work on them nor drive them? He should sell them, he said that... I would love to see Roadkill garage take it, get it built up and advertise the gofund me, take Steve for some ride and auction it off...
@@darthhemi1735 Pretty Cool Idea !!
Steve still has a sense of humor. Good person.
I can remember when Steve bought this car from the great Texas Mopar hord and now he has to sell it. These videos are very hard to watch because you're seeing firsthand how medical bills can destroy a person's livelihood. # 1 reason for filing bankruptcy in America??? No not credit card debt. Answer? Unpaid medical bills. 😪
It is a very sad commentary on our country.
yes, but think about the poor billionaires like the old govenor of FL who is a senator now rick scott who made his money by stealing from medicaid, how will the criminals get by if they had to actually work for a living.
Very true. However it might not all be medical expanses as he's not had regular income for over 8 months. A home mortgage continues even if your in the hospital and the expenses that come with owning a home. He might have had insurance pay for a good chunk of it (medical), but I would be up the creek if I had not worked in all those months. I would also be behind on monthly expenses. Financial advice suggests six months of expenses in an emergency fund in the bank, and Steve certainly was in the hospital longer than that. I don't even have a months worth of expenses amiable myself, and I suspect most Americans don't sadly..
Never pay them. They don't impact your credit.
pay them 50 bucks a month for life is better than an asset melt
No kidding. Someone needs to step up for Steve. Guy should not have to sell his house because we spent months fighting for his life. Unreal.
Welcome to America in 2024, where everything is profiteered, including healthcare.
This isn't Canada where you get socialized medicine... they pay 6k per year, we pay 12k per year... so... yeah...
Steve all your fans are more than willing to help! Please just let us show our appreciation and donate to the cause so you can keep your toys!
Thank God his momentous brain and knowledge of automotive history were not damaged. Peace.
He deserves our help. Can't wait for the official GFM. Let's blow the lid off.
Go fund me, stand with steve everything helps)
I’ve never donated much money to any cause but, I am all in on helping Steve. Love all of his videos and knowledge.
I’m so sorry about your recent health scare , but you are so lucky to be alive, and we all wish you the best!!
Steve, your go-fund me is taking off!! I donated, and hope that everyone does as well! Keep your cars, Keep your stuff that you have worked so hard to collect. I hope your gofundme hits $300k or more!
It is at $430,000 today
Steve I’m truly grateful that you are getting better. It does break my heart that you have to sell your things. Being permanently disabled I can’t buy another car so I will just pray you get what you need for them and that you get better faster.
Get Well soon Steve and I hope you won't sell off your things.
I'm so pissed that you have to sell for medical bills. But I'm so happy that you are alive and most likely had a great medical team. You're only 59-60 yo have so much life ahead of you.
Wish you the best Steve
For all the years of automotive knowledge and countless hours of magazine material, I grew up in the car mag generation and clipped out articles and taped them on my wall. The least i could do is provide whatever i can to help out. Ive had to liquidate a few things along the way and like you said Steve, there is always the next chapter.
@stevemagnante it's good to see you up and around again. Missed you so much. Take care of yourself.
Steve, your attitude towards life with the "chapters" is so humbling!! Your sir have ALL my respect!!!!!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!
Steve, I pray for your health and recovery. I experience similar symptoms. God bless you!
I’m so sad and hope to see a fundraiser soon. Steve is a legend and a huge influence on all these UA-camrs and normal people. ❤️❤️ let’s fix this
Hoovie!!! Where are you!!!! Take care of this guy!!! I’ll donate !!!!
Liking for the algorithm only, I hope you don't have to sell your cars with the community's help. When I'm down, spending time in the shop with the 4 wheeled ladies helps me keep going.
Best of luck Steve
This is so sad Steve...Wish you the best for what's ahead.
Cool old car.Wish I could buy it, just to help you out. Good to see you out and about.
My wife isnt into cars like me but when i watch you steve she is totally interested listening to spilling your endless amounts of knowledge about the cars i love. Im happy to see you upright and working forward. Thankyou for doing what you do and hoping here on out you will keep on keeping on....
Sorry too hear that you are not well mate .i hope you get well
So god bess you mate
Also, if he just has to part with the funny Fairmont, it needs to go to barrett-jackson as a charity auction...Craig Jackson, steve Davis, are you listening??
Excellent idea !
LETSSS GOOOO!!!!! WTF!
They don't care.
@@johndee9719I wish they would
I was thinking exactly the same thing!! Let’s get that done before someone buys it cheap!!
Steve , The masses here are waiting to be directed where to send aid for you .
We as automotive enthusiasts do not want to see you or anyone suffer like this,
Folks care about automotive history and you hold a wealth of knowledge that means
a lot to knukle busters as you already realize ....We all want to help !
I suffered several serious injuries , what kept me going was the garage and a project , and my friends
It was spiritually healing and motivating having the garage and something to do out there ,
sure , it progressed slow , but it still progressed , some help from friends etc ..
.Friends helping friends on a project is the concept
Give the word and buckle up !!
We stand United to try and help you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prepare for an Avalanche of support
go fund me stand with steve everything helps
Hoping someone will take it on and gives you what you have in it. Glad to see you're staying positive.
Steve we love you and are praying for ❤️🙏
Let's all throw and help out Steve🇨🇦💯👍
Steve you are the inspiration for many of us to get wrenching in the driveway. It really hurts to see you down like this.
Knowing you are letting it all go is like a sword in my heart, someone like you are irreplaceable, just like the cars you own and love.
MAX WEDGE CAME ON IN 1963, IT WAS A 413. MAX WEDGE... GOD BLESS YOU STEVE, FEEL BETTER.
Steve we love you like a brother, get the GoFundMe set up dude.
Steve, new subscriber here sending well wishes to you! Glad to see you up and around. I know it has been difficult.
5 years ago, 2 years after I retired I had a major organ failure that led to a near death coma followed by an organ transplant. It was both a very low time and a time of elation for me, but that brush with near death changed my perspective on many things. As a result I have been selling and giving away many of my “treasures” - projects, tools, toys. I felt the need to not burden my wife with “stuff” in the event that I check out.
Like you, all my health issues left me seriously challenged and unable to do many of the things I did when I was younger. I felt that moving those things out of my life was appropriate.
I will caution you to be SURE before letting too much go. Your situation may very well improve, so don’t give up on yourself yet. You may also find that friends and UA-cam family become more supportive than you would imagine. Don’t be too hasty.
Continued health improvement wishes sent sincerely to you.
ready to donate, let’s get this dart fixed up as well for him. best wishes steve
I really wish I knew how to do this stuff cause seeing this hurts. This man should not lose all his work and dreams and life long commitment he has made.
I am saddened by this news!
Im with so many others who have mentioned Barrett Jackson taking over the hospital bills. Failing that, a go fund me account would be a great way to help!!!
My heart goes out to you.
Good luck Steve. Praying for your healing and financial success
Steve's go fund me is up, PLEASE donate today!!!!!!!
no
Donated! Noone especially a good guy like Steve should ever have to go through this!
Millions of people love you Steve!
Another way everyone can help out Steve is just by watching his videos. For example; Go to one of his playlists and let it run while you make dinner or while you are cleaning, etc. Share his videos on other platforms also helps.
i'm so happy you're feeling better Steve. it's good to hear from you!!
That is the first car I remember in my life. My dad had one (same body color / red interior), until he traded in for a 1965 Ford Galaxie 500, four door hard top, Thanks for the memories.
Stay postive Steve, you'll get thru this. Great to see you back.
Barrett Jackson, where are you??? These cars should be going for big $$$ for you Steve! SO many people love you!
It breaks my heart to see Steve selling off his stuff to pay for medical bills. Time for universal health care!!!
Hi Steve. One of my best buddies is trouble right now with encephalitis. Its brutal. Happy you have recovered. Shuswap BC
Stay strong Steve. Car history needs you.
Best of luck Steve!!!! Let's see you on barret Jackson even if just for an hour or so!
Healing prayers for you Steve! 🙏🙏
God bless you sir! I hope you're feeling better soon!
Comment for the algorithm, so Steve can get more visibility.
Respect to you Steve. Get well soon
All Steves rich friends need to step up to help him .
So sorry for all your troubles, Steve. Hope you get better soon. We ain't done with you yet! Be well
Steve I wish you nothing but the best. Waiting on the go fund me page and Hendrick to step up ❗️🇺🇸
Hang in there Steve! I grew up watching you and reading hot rod magazine. I own a body shop in central Vermont and I always have a resto going in the shop. You have touched so many people with your love and knowledge of cars! Starting tomorrow I’m going to be adding 5-10 dollars to Every bill for “shop supplies” and will be sending that to your go-fund me. Much love from Vermont Steve and god speed with your healing ❤🙏🇺🇸
We’re here for you Steve, rough patches in life come and go. Keep going and we wish you the best.
I would have loved to see this project come to life. I love sleepers and unusual cars and this would have been both. I hate to see Steve going through this but glad to see he seems to be keeping his chin up. If there is a legit gofundme I know plenty of us will step up for Steve.
This breaks my heart 😢
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!
I’m so sad for Steve. I wish him good luck and improved health. A go fund me is a good idea, versus expecting any random millionaire setting him up.
Wow, Us UA-cam viewers don't personally know you but I have grown to love and respect certain content creators like you Steve. You're like an old HS friend that I grew up with. If there is any way us viewers can help please post it so I can donate. I'll also be checking out what your selling as well. Stay strong. Health issues only leave us one choice, the choice is you can either be bitter and angry....( A no win scenario) Or you can work through it with joy, peace and dignity. Seems like you're on the right path.
God bless you Sir.
While it hurts me that you’ve gotta sell everything you have, including your home, I’m glad you’re still here Steve
