I remember when I was 5 years old my old man had left his hot rod magazines out for me to look at. While I was looking over all the cool shots of drag cars on the line I remember looking halfway through the magazine and seeing a Henry J gasser along side a Stone, Wood's and Cook willys. I'll never forget that day...

[@chokethewoke746]

Goose looks like he's going to punch someone in the face when he plants his foot. :-)

@@AutotopiaLA that was really cool of him to give you that emblem.

[@kimmorrison9169]

He’s probably not as old as you think! But he is enjoying himself!

That Henry J logo was so cool. A keeper.

[@kimosabbe50]

That was very nice of him to give a Logo to Shawn

[@killerb4202]

With all the grumpy old men ive met in my life its nice to see one happy and still loving life!! Rock on man you deserve it!

[@timothydraper3687]

I read some cool advice, along the lines of it being wise to keep an eye on one's character from around the mid 40's, towards working on who one wants to grow into, cultivating the better qualities and working on the rest.

[@ElBadu]

I’m so glad I watched the video! That color is amazing, the interior is GREAT! And the story of the car, the name for his mom is sweet. Man! This car is literally one of the best. To top it, cool dude and special gift

[@davevangemert2946]

My favorite street rod I've ever seen. Loved these cars my whole life and I've never seen one street Roddenberry with a blown 392 with a stick. I could go on n on,! Candy brandy wine too, my favorite car or bike color. I'm in love!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yeah, it’s such a great build and Goose is just awesome!

[@vanceking354]

Love the channel. I can have a shitty day at work. Watch this channel on my lunch. See your grin from ear to ear. Helps me get through the day. Badass little car! Thanks for sharing.

[@wyattfortune5494]

Really glad that you filmed this car, you don’t see too many Henry Js on the street.

[@robsgarage2037]

I'm not in the car and it's got me smiling watching the owner driving that thing. Such a amazing car.

[@timscott513]

Still, my #1 all-time favorite is the "51 Ford Coupe". But this Henry J is # 2 OMG so Bitchin! thanks, tim from new mexico

[@mrbubbles720]

Outstanding craftsmanship. Surely the old gentleman knows how to drive. Just awesome 😎

[@AutotopiaLA]

He’s a legend!

Bad Ass ride and this guy is the best owner you've had on here.

[@tysonsmartialarts]

Henry J-K-L whatever the hell that thing was awesome. Hey, your production crew should be getting awards for how they put these segments together! Nothing compares to your crew. It’s hard to watch any other production! It’s not even close! 👌💪🥋

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you so much! They’re great and we’re always trying to get better at what we do

[@LV-dm6vn]

Lol the host trying not to smile, its hard not to when you hear a good v8. Well done car, like the peanut butter interior

[@Theunpopulatedopinion]

That’s a badass old man. Rowing gears too. Makes me smile to see genuine guy like this 👏🏼

[@natevesey8269]

One of the coolest builds on the channel. Very rare as well

[@impslap7620]

I'm normally not a fan of body mods but this one is irresistible. What a well done hot rod all around! Kudos for going with an overdrive. This looks like one of the more fun rides on the channel.

[@superbee7936]

Being dutch i don't know the guy. But i sure like his style and attitude behind the wheel. He's ready for business!

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

When I put a T10 in my 71 Vega back in the 80's people thought I was stupid. Nothing beats a manual for pure excitement for the driver. When it pulled the wheels off the ground most just stood there awe struck. I miss her.

[@vibes3360]

9:19 Notice how Goose laughed like a kid when Shawn said "here I'm smiling like a little kid"🤩

[@AutotopiaLA]

He’s such a great guy!

[@TheMotorman80]

“Hot rods aren’t cute, they’re either bitchin or tits!” Haha, love this guy!

[@adamboyle3331]

I love this guy. Khaki shorts, Hawaiian shirt, old man slamming through the gears with a huge supercharger

[@briankinnear7461]

Have always loved the Henry J. The craftsmanship is stellar and that paint looks like it's a mile deep. Great sound too. Great stance. Be safe and stay well.

[@thenerveensemble7810]

This is what I love about this channel. I always learn something new. Amazing Henry J. Beautiful colour too.

So unique and personal to Goose

[@mikedean5595]

What an awesome J! Just a couple of things though- there’s no such thing as a DeSoto 392, (they were Chrysler only) and it definitely seems a bit flat too that thing should be boiling the hides when nailed! 😁

[@AutotopiaLA]

Didn’t know that about the DeSoto. He never really nailed it hard…was hoping he would

[@vibes3360]

Goose and Henry J are perfect for each other

[@sacooper802]

my new favorite autotopiaLA video,

[@nicksobie7380]

One of a kind of car right here

[@tommyfrombama4834]

If it were mine, I would have left it looking exactly the same as the before pic, gasser look with all the surface rust, but that's just me. I don't mean that as a slight though, because the car is beautiful and the owner is right to be proud. The interior and paint are gorgeous, and that 6-71 blown 392 is awesome. Great car!

Sweet ride,! wow there's a lot of money in this car.

I used to see Heny Js in the magazines as a kid and they were always Gassers. I prefer this approach, especially with the wine on camel rather than some garish combo.
