WEST TEXAS MUSCLE CAR RESCUE

[@markphippen7982]

I just want to thank Collins Brothers for rescuing all these old classics and any condition. If it wasn’t for people like you we wouldn’t have anything from the past to remember. Thank you!!

[@Funtimes670]

@@joe6096 it will only get worse when the pre emissions cars will be the only ones that can be modified to race!

[@Epik-hm8ws]

@@joe6096 I disagree. The rest of us had 30 years time to get those cars. If he doesn‘t do something with them (being restoring, restomodding or parting out) they will just rot away and the rest of us won‘t see them at all anymore. And that will cost money. Those are antiques. Now you have the chance to buy cars cheap nobody wants. LS1 Camaros are cheap. LS3 Camaros get cheaper and cheaper. SRT Challengers are cheap, S197 Shelby Mustangs are relatively cheap.

[@Delta_NWAB747fan]

What I’d give to save all of these 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s cars and restore them to original, stock condition. Once they are gone, they are GONE, which is the sad thing about it. Hope that the other classics in that yard have a good future, it’s really nice these guys are saving these beautiful cars! For all the cars saved in this video: 🇺🇸🇩🇪🇬🇧

[@2H80vids]

"it’s really nice these guys are saving these beautiful cars!" Yeah, is it though? If they hadn't hoarded them for decades, these cars could have been sold in way better condition. Did Dennis not say these were the only cars the yard had ever sold? Surely, it would have been better to sell them before the weather/wildlife got to them? The lack of "rusty weather" has certainly helped but it seems like a real waste to me.

[@Delta_NWAB747fan]

@@2H80vids but if they didn’t do anything, they’d still be sitting in the yard rotting away. Would you rather have them do nothing? It’s not a waste, the cars he saved will be restored and hopefully back on the road and become rolling history. I think I know what you’re trying to say, but if they didn’t do anything, they’d be gone for good, and that would be a real waste. If you think they shouldn’t have done anything, in my opinion you aren’t a car guy.

[@2H80vids]

Legally i believe there are issues and laws the salvage yard has to abide by and cannot sell a salvaged car to be returned to the road. But after 30 years things change and maybe the 81 yr old owner was going by the old laws saying it will never be sold.

Or is that a trick in the filming that makes it appear to be on?!

One correction, Dennis, MoPars used New Process manual boxes, not Muncie. And the Muncie M-22 was nicknamed the "rockcrusher". I love your channel, thanks for taking us along.

[@tltsw]

Yes thankyou. I'm a Chevrolet guy have been for almost 40 years. The Rock crusher was named the rock crusher due to the fact that the output shaft was part of the universal on the back of the tail shaft. The m22 Rock crusher back in the sixties early seventies was just a bulletproof for speed trans by Muncie. I have three of them and refuse to sell them good m22 Rock crushers

[@SMusial]

Love the show; Bullit came out in 1968 while I was in high school (freshman in 1972); one of the priests secured the film reel and let us watch it all we wanted (no streaming, no VHS, no DVD's back then). We had the actual film. I will never know why we got to watch an R-rated movie while in a minor Catholic Seminary, but it solidified my love of cars. Frank Bullit was the police, though, and the Charger was the bad guys (not the police). We watched the car scene multiple times, in reverse, forward, slow speed, etc. The Charger loses about 5 wheel covers during the chase, and a green VW gets passed about three times. But as Dennis says, both vehicles were terrific. The only Coffee Walk episode, and I have about watched them all, that I can correct Dennis, but never on his knowledge of cars. Thanks for all the great entertainment Dennis, and for sharing your knowledge of vehicles.

[@badad0166]

...and rifles...

[@terrygardner3031]

I worked with a guy who grew up in the San Francisco area when Bullet was being filmed. He had a 68 Charger that was green and it needed a bunch of work as he had ran it a lot. The production company was looking for 6 chargers to use for the filming. They paid him far more than it was worth which he happily took. His car was used as the car that runs into the gas station at the end of the movie. If you look close it was supposed to hit a pump and then have the explosion, however the car had a mind of its own and ran between the station and the pump. The special effects guy blew the station and unless you know what to look at you would think it hit the pump. According to my friend it was still usable after the shoot banged up a lot and compared to these Chargers was in better shape. He didn't know what happened to the car. He did get to watch the shooting which is why he knew of the problem with the explosion and his car surviving.
