My brother died in the same exact car(year,make,and model) and it also had some head work done. It was canary yellow. My mom would get so mad at me because I would walk home to go see Mr. Helms.(junkyard owner) so I could see the car. 31 years ago in July. To this day she doesn't understand how much Mr. Helms helped a 8yo kid understand the lost.

[@americafirstmaga5073]

Brothers memories are some of the best. I remember all of my brothers cool cars they had in 60's, 70's. 4 older brothers, one of my favorite one's is my Brother Sal & Pete in late 60's, they were in their 20's I was probably 9 or 10, they had stopped by and daring to race on road in front of our house, Sal had a 55 chevy Canary yellow, and Pete a Black 57 chevy, 4 sp 283 cu. My mom didn't want them to, but they did for fun, the 57' won. Great memories. 👍🇺🇸

You're unsure about the color of the hood's inside? Wow.

agree....one look under the hood and see a different color tells me something up

Inside the engine bay isnt yellow so i would say it is original color and the hoods from another car

[@terrywest111]

When they opened that door that car said, "PLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEASE! GET ME OUT OF HERE AND BACK ON THE ROAD!"

[@r0bw00d]

Mike didn't lose his cool in any capacity. The video title is a lie.

[@lynnmcbee4904]

Stuff like that ruins alot of the you tube, bogus titles that are lies!!

[@r0bw00d]

Yes.

[@kevinking5683]

[@michaelmclaughlin6]

I had a 66 fairlane. Easy to work on. I changed the rear end and transmission when I was 17 yrs old. Didn't have to put it on a computer to find out what was wrong with it. I wish I had known how crappy cars of the future would be. I would have kept it.

[@piratecat4519]

Easy to work on unless you had to change the rear spark plugs or the starter on the 390.

[@joshschneider9766]

Yeah but now that we have those electronic control units people have made electronic controlled versions of those 60s engines perform orders of magnitude better. Google it. Our cars are rightly better just as yours was rightly better than a 1904 Napier.

[@jeffcampbell2710]

Cars are actually much better today. Today, getting 100,000 miles on a set of plugs is not unheard-of. No points, condenser. Oil last much longer minus the carbon. Vehicles are far more safer in a collision. But, there's no heart, no style or class like the 60's. Anything 72 back, I'll take. Heck, I'll take an 87 Cutlass, Buick, 89 GN. The 90's had The Cyclone, Typhoon, Impala, Pontiacs.

[@OhioRiverFisherman]

That's a good deal for both parties!!! I love it

[@derrickconnolly9164]

I remember these cars. Very popular with the young drivers. And the room to haul many friends. And no seatbelts. Those were the days my friend.

That's the way I love to find cool muscle cars, original & untouched. Don't matter if it's Ford, Chevy or Dodge/Plymouth, even foreign classics. So exciting.

[@apmm4209]

How did the cameraman film the van pulling up from the guys garage, if they just roll up on the property?

[@johnnyblade9272]

A 2nd owner (Since 1973) 1967 Ford Fairlane GT for $7k, you stole that car. Old man may have made a profit, but you got an original, unrestored condition (Barn Find) jem. I'd rate this deal as a Win-Win for both of you.

[@macrinataitano8816]

They Laughin' like they Scored on the Deal when it was the OWNER that Hammered DOWN by Scoring BIG Off of Them! LMA😂

[@bartenderzzz]

I watch this show and Pawn Stars for the same reasons. Yeah I know its staged but the knowledge and history of all these products are real and fascinating. That's good enough for me.

[@johng4093]

Exactly, whether someone won or lost on the deal is irrelevant -- it's not our money, so who cares? Seeing all the different people, regional accents, rooms of stuff to search through, old stuff rarely seen anymore ... a lot of interest there.

[@eldrickejleest]

I thought Mike was gonna fight or something when he "loses his cool".

[@r0bw00d]

Yeah, that's why the title is clickbait...and a lie, but still..

[@toddboswell8136]

Good find.

[@tomelder2358]

I actually owned a 1967 Fairlane GT, 4 speed floor shift, convertible in 1973. Couldn't keep it though, as I was two thousand miles from home and had no way to get it there. Mid-dark green paint, matching interior with a white top. Beautiful. Alas. :-(

I had a 64 ford fairlane with the Posi traction rear end

As they blow past what looks like a cool two stroke Yammy scrambler type.

[@erepsekahs]

Man, I wouldn't let those yahoos anywhere near anything I own.

[@Jamzkee84]

Yeah you’re better off letting the items sit, rust out, and handing them down to your family so they can sell them for even cheaper.

[@artbrookey3468]

The 390 in these were ok, but the rare one was the 427...that is a rare car, especially with the two 4bbls

[@TimdogQ]

That car is easily worth twice what they paid in that condition.

[@davidgriggs282]

Ll[

[@bad74maverick1]

They didn't even try to start it and the motor is no longer matching. Paint isn't either. That hood was yellow underneath. At the very least it's been replaced. Why? accident? They didn't look under it to see if anything was out of sorts I.E. collision. Rust issues and paint, the motor pull and paint. They'll have 10 to 12k in it anyway. 7k is all it was about worth.

[@TheJboogie324]

I love this show and these guys, always, but does anyone else notice how “altered” drunk or high Frankie is in this ? He’s wrecked

So he wouldn`t pay 500 more to get the bike that he may have made 1000 on....Hmmmm.

[@Jamzkee84]

They consider shipping costs and how long they may have to sit on a vehicle. Sometimes the labor involved isn’t worth the small margins. You can’t get ran over in negotiations, have to be willing to walk.

Two things, 7,500 for the car and the bike!?, that seemed like a very good deal. And second, any old car loses almost half it's original horsepower, no way has it still got the original amount.

They were looking for those muscle cars about 15 years ago for a movie in New Mexico

[@JordyJayHomer]

it interests me that while the Fairlane and Falcon names didn't last too long in America, they lasted about 50 years in Australia. In fact, the Falcon was Ford's flagship car in Australia for decades
