2000 MILE DRIVE TO BUY A ICONIC CAR!

[@CS-oe8og]

Not even 5 seconds in and Josh I’m cryin! There is NO two other men that are cooler than you and Steve. The moment he put that car up for sale it broke my heart, but I immediately thought about you. I am over the moon that you bought his car, AND got to meet Steve. You are the right man for that car, thank you so much for being so awesome!!!!!

[@tommyjefferson9525]

I feel the same way that car couldn't have been get sold to a better person and also Steve is a very good guy I've been following him for years I can't wait to see this video I'm just starting to watch it now

I teared up when Steve signed the dash. There's some important life lessons here about what happens to us during our journey. I know Steve's on the mend, but he's got to sell his home & life's work to pay astronomical medical bills. He didn't deserve this... no one does.

[@mikeg6042]

I’ve seen Steve Magnante on different channels over the years and have always marveled at his knowledge. Back in the mid 1980’s I went through encephalitis and was out of work for months. I remember the pain from spinal taps and the terrible fevers I suffered through. At first I was diagnosed with pneumonia and sent home with a high fever. After 3 days I wasn’t able to maintain my ability to understand the world around me and was again seen by a physician who determined I was dealing with encephalitis. Since then I’ve had several health issues including back surgeries, broken bones and viral hepatitis that took 17 months of chemotherapy to put into remission. Now at 74 years old other than gall bladder surgery and a broken leg I’m doing great. I’ve always been a fan of Steve’s but this video has caused some deep feelings for what he’s going through and pray to God he heals quickly and makes a great recovery.

[@Maddoktor2]

Thank you so much for stepping up like this to help Steve out.

[@Hobodeluxe007]

Would love to see you finish the body work on this one and do it up like he wanted it with the Ford Charger lettering. It would be such a tribute to him and his vision. And so glad he's getting some support from the gofundme.

I grew up reading Hot Rod and Car Craft, street trucks, anything I could get my hands on.......I had a deal with a local parts store, the guy would tear off the covers and throw the magazines away, but he started leaving a box beside the dumpster for me. The stand out article from the magazine days, for me was the Cadillac powered chevette....... Like you, I watched him build the Nova, the Dodge, and this Fairmont. That blue and gold paint scheme would definitely set this off. I hope this video gets a million views bud. If anyone should take on this car and finish it, it's you bud.

Thank you I really appreciate that

[@grabasandwich]

The Bad Seed! I loved reading that build, and especially how Steve would put on the nerd schtick with the lab coat and tape on his glasses. I saw somewhere that him and Freiburger didn't get along, and I think Steve almost got fired (during the Chevette build?) Anyway, I can't imagine the fun those guys have had over the years.

This video totally blindsided me. I never expected to see my two You Tube heroes getting together in one video. Steve is a legend and it is so sad what happened to him. And to be put into such a financial bind over medical bills is the worst situation. But it is comforting to know one of his masterpieces went to you Josh. That way it can be cared for, finished and hopefully showed at car shows. Do a great paint shop as a tribute to Steve. Make Steve proud of you Josh. I am surprised you didn't take Steve some Sleeperdude Tee shirts for him to wear on future Junkyard Crawl videos. I can't wait to see what you do with this one of a kind Fairmont.

Same for Canada. Medical bills is the number one cause of bankruptcy in USA. USA lacks many basic human rights we take for granted.

[@shojus]

I do agree it's a shame people have to go through this, but there are many ways to setup a plan for emergencies, and unfortunately that wasn't done in this case. Nobody ever thinks they will get sick, until they do. As far as "free" health care, no such thing exists, you're paying for it in some fashion. I've heard horror stories of people in Canada waiting to see doctors and just not getting seen. Every country has it's problems, but there's a reason so many people want to come here. Like I said, no country is perfect, but the United States is the beacon of freedom for many people, and I wouldn't live anywhere else for that simple fact. God Bless

The trip was worth every mile because this car is now in the hands of someone who will give it and it's builder the respect they deserve...I know you feel honoured to own it and I'm sure Steve feels very happy that it went to a great family who appreciates it"s history and significance...looking forward to next week...Karl from eastern Canada

I think Wawa needs to drive the Fairmont to school! That's Crazy. When I saw this come up I couldn't believe it. This car is going from a genius to another genius

What an awesome thing to see Steve and Josh together, two of my favorite people in the automotive world! It's amazing to see how well Steve is doing, I remember the first video from his recovery room... so glad to see he's on the mend!

His knowledge of cars is so awesome. Im glad you got him to sign the dash. Im sorry to hear he is so sick. All around great episode. Thanks guys

Somehow when I saw that Steve was selling that car, I knew you would wind up with it. Congratulations Josh. Living the Dream Sleeperdude.

Marg; hey Josh, is this one of the happiest days of your life? Josh; ya, i love it. Then that smile on Josh's face. PRICELESS!

I've been praying so hard for Steve🙏🏻 I miss seeing Steve in the junkyard. I am so thankful Josh that the Lord allowed you to be a part of Steve recovery by purchasing his car. I know you will cherish it and take care of it like Steve would. May the Lord Jesus bless you, your wife and your family, and this Channel🙏🏻

Josh, you are always thanking us... I am thanking you! I absolutely loved this, and having this legend sign the glove box brought me tears. I love your entire family, and I thank you for all of your hard work. You are a servant of God, and God bless you all. THANK YOU FAMILY.❤. P.s. y'all gotta get Raymond a tiny skateboard, set him on it and he can cruise faster than the Fairmont in the 1/8 mile 😂. 2:02:57

Steve is a legend and a genius. I too remember and enjoyed reading his magazine anrticles and builds when I was a kid. Very unfortunate, his situation. But he’s raised a good bit of money thanks to fans. This car went to a great home and to someone who will thoroughly enjoy it and appreciate it for what it is.

Fuuny how squeeze just squeezes (?) her eyes closed and relies on old dad to keep her safe, while Ralph glows with pure joy when pop gives her the beans…

[@crawlercrew874]

Steves car couldn't have gone to a better home. Congrats guys. And watching you guys bouncing down our Pennsylvania roads had me crying. Lots of suspension parts sold here.....lol.

[@Sleeperdude]

I’m super excited
