The look on Nicks face is priceless when he pops the clutch. ❤

[@blinkie1523]

Sure is!!!

[@jimmyjambon9206]

71 Demon 340.Sassy Grass green... Patrick Dodge Saskatoon. With slight modifications and soft tires it was running in the 12's. Great car, Shoulda coulda woulda... Light inexpensive fast car in 1971. That 340 was a big block killer.

[@plainswanderer3043]

I'm so glad you fixed the alignment of the pie tin on the air cleaner, it always bugs me not to put it straight.

[@NicksGarage]

Nice. Well spotted.

[@ericball6000]

Dr. Nick, both of the Mopar's on this video are just awesome, and to get to drive a 1971 Hemi Road Runner, you lucky guy. Cheers.

[@NicksGarage]

More to come!

[@nicetna2010]

These episodes just keep getting better and better. Keep up the good work fellas!

[@NicksGarage]

Much appreciated!

[@derekbowbrick6233]

Bon Jour/ Good Day, the two rides were beautiful, but the memories that came back from see the old street sign was the best part. Salute from the old south shore.

[@johnriddle149]

I have owned mine since 1993. My two sons and my grandson’s love it.

[@NicksGarage]

That is terrific. The family car.

[@joeljenkins2876]

Hey guys!!!! So nice to see Nick enjoying himself behind the wheel of classic muscle: also to see people show their appreciation with gifts, truly heartwarming. Great week, all!!!!

[@garyschulz9216]

The history keeps coming back because you keep it current😀. Everyone gets to relive the best years and memories because of you and the gang. Thanks to all the customers helping keep the passion going.😊

[@NicksGarage]

Thanks Gary!

[@scottmcpoil6184]

Hi to Nick and the guys from the USA! That Roadrunner brought back some wonderful memories of my 1968 Charger R/T with the 440 Magnum. Not a day goes by I don't miss that car... Thanks for the great videos Nick - I learn something new every time I watch!

[@bryanbittinger9794]

God bless Nick and his team what are people going to do when there's no old mechanics

[@NicksGarage]

May that day never come.

[@kevinpatrick8788]

Gorgeous 72 Duster 340 ! Love those tail lights which only came on the 72 . That 71 Hemi Road Runner was fantastic . I have a 71 Duster 340 original 4 speed car but its now an auto with reverse manual valve body . Car came from factory in F8 green but its been purple since 1984 .

[@lesliesmith2586]

Seeing the expression when you are”working “ driving it around. Way to take one for the team and forge through. 👍

[@FalconXE302]

It is a joy ride... as you take joy from driving the cars you have worked so hard on and are proud to have made them "new" again... you must get joy from these drives Nick... you deserve it. Plus, you're stress testing is really important... for sure... and a bit of fun.

[@MikeJBlues]

That's the nicest 71 hemi Roadrunner I've ever seen , wow 😯

[@danielmendricks7205]

Back in the 80's as an active duty Marine I had a 1973 Dodge Dart 340 it was metallic green with a green interior and a green vinyl top. It had the fold down rear seat that opens into the trunk, I loved that car! wish I'd never sold her! It also had the Thermoquad 4 barrel!

[@Musclecar1972]

The 340 is probably my favorite Mopar engine, especially with the tri carb set up, on the AAR Cuda! 👍

[@NicksGarage]

Good choice!

[@susanholiday7347]

Hi Nick, George, and all of the staff. Including Nico.

[@NicksGarage]

Thank you, Susan.

[@Orcinus1967]

The first rule of Sign Club is, don't ask where the street sign came from. Nicely done!

[@jeepinspence]

Two memories for me. I remember my uncle buying a new 73 Duster in dust colored paint lol, it had the infamous 70s brown interior that looked like, well you know. His was bare bones slant six, 3 on the tree am, and a heater. I liked it and questioned my Dad as to why we never had a cool car like an AMC or Mopar(I was 6 and just learned that term) he said rather curtly that they had no trade in value. This keeping in mind he was driving a 70 Mercury Monterey with a 429 black on black and would soon Trade for a pea green Tbird with a 460 loaded up and an olive green vinyl top with green cloth interior. lol. I think it hurt his feelings. I went on to be a Ford truck guy until I had my first Jeep then I was AMC / Mopar! 😉. The second memory was a rainy day in Decatur, Il when my high school buddy and I went to pick up and drive home a car for his little brother who was soon to be 16. We weren’t much older than that, but were tasked with looking it over for his Mom. It was a 72 Duster and it if it hadn’t had the half vinyl too id’ve sworn it was my uncles! lol. It looked worse than it was, we picked it up in an alley where it had set for quite some time and was filthy in and out. This was circa 1985. The seats were ripped, it was rusty in spots, ugly wheels and ran like hot garbage , but it ran. It was used and used up had been treated badly. She offered $150 and the guy took it. My buddy and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes. We had about 10 miles to home on a state hwy in a steady drizzle. The electrics were shot and nothing worked right. The best part of the whole thing was when my buddy went to reach for the wiper switch to turn it on after a few blocks and there right in the middle of 5 points intersection he yelped like a little girl as sparks shot from the switch to his fingers in the grey evening twilight ! I laughed so hard I about fell out of the car(I had to hold the door shut) 😂😅they wipers went about halfway up right in to his field of vision and stopped, the windows all started fogging up but he wouldn’t touch anything but the steering wheel the rest of the way. We drove home about 20-25 mph with his Mom following closely in a 78 Newport with her flashers on. Needless to say his bro hated it and I think even cried. My buddy donated his wrecked 72 Charger to the cause and their oldest sibling owned a body shop. It ended up a sweet v8 ride with a nice metallic brown paint job and cool painted graphics, rolling in aluminum blades and white letters. He wasn’t crying then. 😎

[@FabioQuadrana]

I've never seen Nick so delighted with a car as with this Hemi Road Runner 😀

[@JerryM-p2v]

I have to say George, you are quite the cinematographer. Great camera work, and great editing.

[@NicksGarage]

Glad you think so!

[@JerryM-p2v]

@@NicksGarage Dude you have the correct voice for doing documentaries.

[@strokermaverick]

3:40 Only, from a car guy. I, have to kick it! Extremely, beautiful Duster! Great job, Nick!

[@NipkowDisk]

Three minutes and forty seconds... I see what you did there :)

[@strokermaverick]

​@@NipkowDisk😃

[@Orcinus1967]

Almost forgot! Thanks Bob for keeping this beauty alive, and for the carte blanche test drive. That was great to see.

[@johncornell3665]

I love how Nick turned the air cleaner lid on the 340 so the decal was straight. I would do the same thing lol! Thanks for a great video Nick & George!

[@kerrylewis2581]

28:30 This is ManTown Museum. My gosh, look at the incredible automobiles.

[@blinkie1523]

Wow Two Truly Sweat Rides Nick and speaking of rides I enjoyed both of them so much, Thanks. They both look simply stunning out in the sun as that paint work just shone so beautifully. Another top video George great coverage and sound quality. Till next time have a great week Nick & others.

[@NicksGarage]

Thanks so much!

[@donlemme898]

The Hemi Road Runner leaves me speechless. Stunning car

[@NicksGarage]

Right on.

[@justinprest2473]

Very good episode! Love the start showing the undercarriage of a ford truck! Class act guys 😎👌

Thanks 👍

[@NicksGarage]

Thanks for watching, Shoe.

[@RedEyedPatriot]

In 1998 when I was 16 i had a Chocolate Brown 1979 Duster with 225 slant six offenhauser 4brl intake and thermoquad carb. My Dad talked about building a 340 like that was in the Older Dusters but we never did. Me and my uncle dropped a 440 into a 73 Charger SE and when we pulled it outta the garage the tow strap came loose and instead of steering the car over into the level. I freaked out when the brakes didn't work and ended up steering it over into a ditch and down over a mountain backwards 😂. Bouncing off 4or5 trees in the process. Scared me to death Nick! 😂 I just knew my uncle was gonna slap me around but he never raised his voice to me. Rust free Black 73 Charger with Gold ralleye's just ruined.

[@tint661]

I love both cars in this post. Nick's a lucky man to be able to "kick it" in the customers cars.

[@garyslentzii2796]

I sure miss my 71 Satellite Sebring, l converted it to 4 speed, put a rebuild 318 in. Put 10" tires & jacked it up with Gabrial Highjackers. Fun, Fun car to rip around. That is on Gorgeous Road Runner he owns. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@scottkovacs7634]

Another killer Monday of Nick's garage.

[@MrCrazyk777]

If you guys see a gray Ram in from of the shop,d`ont worry me and my 9 years old son just appreciate the nice cars there! Thanks for the nice youtube channel!

[@davidholcomb9961]

I had a '75 Duster, slant six and 3 on the floor. Loved that car. Beat the hell out of it. Now i wish i still had it.

[@ericball6000]

good evening Dr. Nick, good evening George.

[@NicksGarage]

Thanks for being here, Eric.⭐️

[@fortyshooter1]

Great seeing Hemi Nick lovin that 340 Duster! I owned a 69 340 Dart GTS and had a great time with it. Beautiful 72 Duster and Hemi Road Runner!

[@jan195601]

I had a 1975 model Duster 360. I had lots of fun with even though it was a smog engine.

[@SolamenteVees]

Love hearing the 1st gear whine of an A-833. Beautiful A-body! Thanks, Nick. Edit- that little 340 sure seems happy with the Thermoquad!

[@JettaRedIII]

My first car (actually, my Dad's, but I drove it) was a '73 Duster with the 318 engine. It was red and marketed as a trivertible -- convertible (moon roof), wagon (rear seat back folded down) and coupe. I washed and waxed that car EVERY day and my dad thought I was going to wash the paint off.

[@JettaRedIII]

Oh, yeah. The windshield washer pump was your left foot.

[@nathanmccree2217]

Awesome filming job like always George an you gotta love the color of that duster

[@NicksGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@francfurian8215]

Two outstanding cars. Good on you Ben, that was a lovely gift. I'm sure the memories came flooding back for Mr Nick. Cheers & stay safe guys 😊

[@NicksGarage]

Yes it was!

[@kevinhiltz2705]

I rode in the back of a 75 duster from Ontario to Nova Scotia when I was 10 in 1975

George. Shifter cam is a nice add. Beauty Duster.

Thanks!

[@NicksGarage]

It sure is!

[@Freeontheland2030]

Memories, in 1980 when I was 17 I bought a 'Blue 70 Swinger 340 4 speed factory original car still plated and on the road for $700 CD. The add was in the old Buy and Sell paper and was located in Willowdale ,On, I went to see it , the guy took one look at me and says "I'm not letting you drive it but I'll take you for a drive in it".. I says yessir let's go, the second that 340 fired up I knew I was buying it. It The car had 100,000 miles on it ,needed front fenders and some other odds and ends but man the fun I had with that car is legendary ( in my own mind of course). Eventually overhauled the bottom end and heads along with a Purple shaft to help her breath a bit better and she was a thumper, surprised many guys who underestimated the old Dodge ( and my powershifting abilities) much to their chagrin, lol. Cheers Nick! Love the show.

[@plainswanderer3043]

At 9:54 Nick says "You may call that a joy ride", but I have to test the car.......sure you do, sure you do......no joy at all!

[@NicksGarage]

heheh

Two beautiful cars and the street sign was a really nice touch! Thanks guys! Love the show! 😺

Bought a '69 Dart GTS 340 when it was 3 years old. Original 10.5:1 engine, 4-speed, 3.23 rear, and fast manual steering. I raced EVERYBODY.

[@chriswalshe499]

Wow Nick 71 roadrunner is my favourite too. Love the fuselage body over the square ones. My fave part is those flat as/f wheel arches. The whole thing rocks tho you got great taste Nick.

one of the nicer sounding dusters, that's for sure...

Wonderful 340 Duster, Basin Street Blue? It's funny how the bucket seat cars give the feel of a larger interior. I like the A' s with buckets!

[@Eric-n3q]

That duster is golden just the other day some guy drove by my neighborhood with a feather duster I guess they're kind of rare

[@mikestackhouse9001]

Wow, two fine examples of Mopar Muscle that are very deserving of the "Muscle Car" moniker. That is one beautiful 71 Hemi RR. Looks and drives great! George, really fine slomo on the Duster burnout.😊

[@NicksGarage]

Right on!

[@chrislupson217]

My Chrysler A body memory is with a friend that had a 72 Duster 6 cylinder. 45 years ago in a single day I was passenger in two car accidents in the same car lol. Never rode with him again.

1970 15 years old my first trip to the drag strip with my older brother and one of the guys in the neighborhood with a 1969 Dart GTS. 340 4spd. He lost in the first round.

I used to have a 1971 Plymouth GTX 440 Six Barrel one of 135 made. I traded it for a down payment on a house, I miss that car.

Hoping to make a 360 Duster myself some day.😀

[@NicksGarage]

Go for it

[@13coyote13]

1972 Road Runner you could only get a 440 Four Barrel, they made two 440 Six Packs but no Hemi's, I remember there was a guy at Carlisle that thought he'd bought a real 440 six pack Road Runner which I mentioned in the comments that if it was real he'd have a real Unicorn.

[@JerryM-p2v]

Local guy has one with a 400 in it. That seemed to be the affordable big block of those tubs.

[@JUNKEdDudek]

Thank you!

[@disturbedmaynard3873]

Had a friend in high school that had a Duster 340, and he did not drive the thing like the little old lady from Pasadena, at all. More like my own grandma. I owned Dusters, Darts, and a Demon from the early 70's, but all with the slant 6. Wanted a 340 A body, just didn't get my hands on one. Still want to see Nick beef up a slant 6 and put it on the dyno. Maybe do a back to back with George's in line six.

[@MaverickNutron]

When Nick sez…HEE!HEE!HEE! - itz a good day, never under estimate the abilities of a high winding small block in a ‘lite’ chassis!!! No matter the brand!

[@billhendon1017]

Awesome! Thanks Mr nick!

[@2264ish]

1971 Nascar Championship car!!

[@Eddie-di6eb6cv8v]

Wow! It’s almost a clone to my car. But mine has black interior and the black hood strobe stripes with black scoops. I believe the stripe kit on this car is for 71. The 72’s had the dust swirl in the rear part of the stripe and the 340 decal did not touch the stripe. Still it’s a beauty.

[@MikeJBlues]

Man Nick those are some bad ass cars. Love the Petty Blue 72

[@NicksGarage]

We agree.

2 Real cars beautiful Mopar Heaven 👍🏻🇦🇺✌️.

[@thomasward4505]

In 1976 I bought my first car a 1968 GTS 340 convertible. And for $850 it had about 98,000 Mi on it and used a quart of oil for every tank of gas . It did have a set of shiny Cragar wheels and some headers. Pretty good for a guy in high school for his last year. Later on I replaced the 340 engine with a lower mileage 440 and transmission from a 68 New Yorker. I really didn't know what I was doing at the time but I knew that a GTS did have a big block in it and it could be done. The car was definitely faster and actually got one more mile per gallon generally. I am 65 years old now

[@johnagreen883]

A month shy of 17 years old, dad signed for a loan on my first financed car, a '70 340 4 speed Dart, 3.91 Sure Grip like this car, factory Hemi Orange, black bumble bee stripe, 44,000 miles. We didn't negotiate on the dealer's $1,678 price. It was a s8x year old car then. Dad had sent me to that dealer because he knew and liked the salesman he told me to ask for. When I did and told him who my dad was, he said "Oh, you're Larry's kid!", and tossed me the keys. You're not coming with me? "Nah, I know your dad. Take it out and see what you think." The car was stock, down to the dog dish caps and E78-14 tires. Holy cow, it would spin the tires hard in third gear! Two hours later I brought it back; it was almost out of gas. The salesman was kind of pissed, but he saw how I couldn't keep a straight face, couldn't shut up about how fast it was. Mom and i went back a few days later in the family '68 New Yorker two door, with wheels, dad had to have a two door with wheels as the family grocery getter, and I drove the Dart home. When I left the dealer, mom and the finance guy were still chatting outside. I left, powershifted second, tires spinning, put down a couple car lengths of rubber. Dad was forced to give me a stern talking to after mom's report. Seemed to be a little glint in his eye as he was chewing me. 😊

Don’t need to apologize to me. Part of owning a car that can do a burn out is, doing a burn out. Check the tire diameter, might not be in spec anymore.
