    I'd buy any car off this guy. (can't, Aussie living in Thailand, my Old Man was a mechanic so I picked up a bit) but would cause he's overly honest, show's everything from scratch and sells em in good nick. His knowledge of car mechanics is what blows me away - I'm trying to learn. Mate, If you move to Thailand - let me know.

    11:00 one of the lessons my father taught me was to know the car you're driving and know where the tires are. Second lesson was to always park with your tires pointed straight ahead. I miss him. This is my first comment on you and Jens channels. I found you two weeks ago and have been binge watching them. Keep doing what you're doing. We love it!

      100%, I owned one of these back in the early 80s and would love to get this one. That 351 in this car will get 22 mpg in this car IF you don’t have a heavy foot, plus it’s got power to spare when you need it. I also think the Raptor liner is a great solution to the trashed vinyl top. Sure it’s not perfect but it gets the job done and it looks nice.

I really enjoyed the cruise on a sunny day. I was just wondering if you had officially turned into a used car dealership for your state with all the vehicles. No more snail, selling the Ambu and Torino and the fox body mustang too, oh well it was fun while it lasted. Thanks for the great videos and please keep them coming. Over and out for now.

    Morning from Sydney Australia. A little rust converter and bondo might be "just what the doctor ordered."
    Try to find a horn steering wheel cover trim.

    I sure hope everything is Ok with you selling all the Toys!, Going to miss this one!, Reminds me so much of the 1974 Mercury Montego my Brother drove for Years!, And the 1978 T-Bird Mom had!, Maybe selling all this stuff means the 1967 Mustang is getting a complete Resto???

    Out with the old and in with the new, got to have fresh content to get the views. Besides, to many classics sitting around rusting away in a field just waiting to be revived. I hear ya' Chris...
