Did we make a bad trade?

I absolutely love the fact that these vintage dragsters are still around and some is keeping them from just setting in the woods rusting away. He should start a museum and put them on display, just to show how far drag racing has come.

[@bren-xmotorsports55]

When that dude says he needs to talk to you for a minute, clear your schedule

[@WaitsForTheMoon]

So much history has been lost. Nice to know someone out there is saving a little of it.

[@Cougar20th]

If both parties are equally happy with the trade it was a good trade.

[@vintagetintrader1062]

Would love to see a 250 or 292 in-line 6 sitting in the 1950s rail, even if just yard art just to be able to occasionally idle around in.

[@johnknowlton3998]

Gotta love the dad strength of the older gentleman in the flannel dragging the ass end of dragster over!!!❤️🤘🏼💯😎🇺🇸

[@michaellivingston5144]

Being nearly 50, I can remember these style cars running at Beech Bend in the late 70’s, early 80’s. I’ve had a love for nostalgia dragsters since I was a kid. It Amazes me the styling and the fabrication. Thanks for sharing. Please share more of these type of videos.

[@larryc8607]

Hotrod hoarder has a great channel. Very interesting to the average car guy . If you aren't subscribed , you are missing out on some good content .

[@LloydCollier-t5j]

LLOYD FROM DOWNUNDER :: Best Trade Ever Davo !!! Lucky Lucky Barstard Man, You Give an Old Hotrodder Happyness In The Heart !!! Well done. 👍👌🏁🏁🏁

[@KDsHomePerformance]

Excellent trade my good man! You’re probably going to not even read this but I tried months ago to offer you a bunch of tri-five parts from my 56 210 Sport Coupe build but of course just like with all of you guys now. You don’t have the time. This retired disabled veteran guy has a total beg for your attention if at all possible? I’m down with sharing some pics of my car, tribute to my dad build, been in-work for 15 years, different when I was still on active duty, retirement aneurysm and seizure problems kept breaking my fall with my head so all good, just definitely slowed things up and of course the budget is a tight thing! Well, been huge fan for a long time, shows with motortrend was kind of a bummer but actually a great thing! I keep trying to stream your stuff to death, all liked ordering more merch in traditional military retirement fashion, 1st of the month lol! Well please brother, hit me up so I can ask you a question about a vehicle that I pray you still have? And maybe I have some parts for you?

[@RobGriffiths]

I think you already know that you didn't make a bad trade. You've done everything you wanted with the funny car, now you have two more projects to tinker around with and drag kicking and screaming back to life :D Plus Tommy gets to have fun with the funny car.

[@user-js4vh2lw6n]

Awesome collaboration video! Can't wait to see you and Tommy do more together in the future! Hopefully.....

[@roywhitman7109]

Saving history is definitely worthwhile! I think you did great! Thanks for the shout out to the folks in Cali!! I reached out to Frieburger earlier today & wished them all the best!❤ 🙏 Best of luck with your projects!👍

[@flpanhead]

Love old slingshots. The old guys keep complaining that younger guys are gonna let this hobby die, but it seems like we are the ones preserving all the old history.

[@OldMan999-y1y]

That was some great information and you got a great deal (my opinion) and are living your dream!

[@dieterlange7581]

The old guys that raced that car back in the day were real men giant balls I want to see one of you youngsters please get it running and pass it down to old back road can't take it to the track I'm sure but cmon.👍💯🤣

[@Itsdarooster]

Cant believe they called you and cottens show sucks bro I'm glad you got your own channel

[@Itsdarooster]

I meant cancelled

[@billpratt2274]

I dig it... but THAT for that? Um, boss I'm looking forward to the upside and look forward to your journey!

[@dogpotter]

neat old stuff, too bad they don't have the vintage dragster races like the do with motorcycles and road racers. thanks for keeping them alive

[@79huddy]

They do though Ohio does nostalgia drags at different events

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Driving that ole slingshot should be a blast ... no matter what engine you stick in it!

[@Naturalgearhead]

Looks like you were cruising up HWY 411…..that was always my favorite road to take from TN to Ga if I had to go down there for anything….cool cars can’t wait to see what’s in the future! 👍

[@zachb6078]

If you save those hot rods and bikes and even give them another 5 years on this planet your doing a good thing and yall have given them many more years then that

[@KEIFabrication]

I really like how your family is involved. My wife is always my copilot, and my kids were always excited to go on adventures like this and they liked being the winch operator. Looking forward to seeing what you both do with your trades.

[@1STLAR2147]

I worked for a small body shop around 1986, and remember a 68-69 charger funny car body hanging in the rafters. Couldn’t make out what it said on it as most of the paint had been sanded off and repairs were done. You could see it was red and white at some point and purple at some point. Never got a name as to who owned other than it was a local guy here in Mesa Arizona. I went back by the shop after something like 10 years to BS with the owner, and noticed that body was still hanging in the rafters. Never found out what he did with it.

[@edwinbonnelljr1587]

Wow that's cool as hell yeah man that sounds great to me too here 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnknowlton3998]

Great video Dave 💯🤘🏼👍😎🇺🇸

[@mcdonaldm73]

I'd clean it up, inspect the welds, fix what's needed and yes...even with a stock motor, I would make a pass!

[@wbball15]

Newbern, love to see your content. #12VoltDave

[@Dirtysouth81]

Cool trade man! Love those vintage drag cars. Always good to see them being resurrected!

[@xXSlickNickXx757]

its never a bad trade if its something you want and your genuinely excited about the new project/s

[@BrianCampbell-l9u]

I think you and Mike should have a build off, and then race.. heck yeah, love you guys

[@scottwhitmer2034]

I picture people passing you on the highway going "What in the hell"?

[@zacharymunroe270]

Hey David... look up the twin bears dragster, it had two motors one facing forward and one facing the opposite way they geard up another flywheel on the front of the other motor, the flywheels meshed togeather, anyways what they geared up was similar fir the motor mounts but they had it geared up to be able to move the engine forward or backwards depending on track conditions, you just loosened the clamp and move it to you desired location, they had different driveshafts to accommodate the different engine placement... I can't remember what year but it id like to say 1960 .. could be wrong id have to look through my old magazines to know for sure...one of the first big meets back in the day .. anyways I think Jack Christman piloted that monster. Anyways they blew a piston so the removed that piston and rod and maby the opposing rod and piston as well... don't quote me on that as it was along time ago I read it.. but anyways they did that and still won and set the track record... it was a very cool storie, and I would definitely jump behind the wheel of one of those wild and primitive rides ... my arms got goose bumps just thinking about wheeling one of those suckers.. I have been wanting to build one of those old diggers for 30 years... dreams eh for one don't have the Dollars, and thats something you do with a buddy or two and here in nova scotia no one i know is into them enough to want to build one..but man thats some pretty freekin cool shit you drug home, I wish I lived next door , haha lol id be wreching on those suckers with you for sure!! Anyways awesome stuff , wishing you all the best Dave , can't wait to see some more on those diggers

[@EricWoodring6thplanet]

40 min mark, talking about motorcycles....there's a Saturn DOHC engine sitting there! 🤘🏼

[@Scoots1994]

The trade is fine, the idea that a human will drive one of those dragsters is ... crazy. But then I think standing next to a top fuel dragster for a burnout is crazy let alone driving it (and I've done it).

[@kevinbelcher8490]

I wish he would start a museum to show these amazing vintage dragsters

[@HoltFamilyMotorsports]

Always wanted to drive a FED love the content on your channel will definitely be back.

[@davidmackieson4609]

DIGGIN THE LOOK AN STYLE ON THAT ALTERED T BUCKET NICE TRADE

[@pontiac411]

33:00 Top Fuel cars today still use hose clamped motor mounts unless they have changed in recent years... You could ask Clay.

[@neilperry2224]

Noise don't believe you did sir. But we all have those did we/l get it wrong.. But heyho shite happens. Happy new year to you and your family and friends

[@coyboybc]

If you and him are happy with the trade ….it should not matter what everyone else thinks!

[@johnknowlton3998]

My dad had an orange opel in the 70s!! Black interior . Mini vette

[@joeh1940]

Damn Dave i want one now.... can't wait to see what motor your putting in it

[@harveykeeler2661]

Some cool piece’s

[@shanewright6958]

Another great video 👍👍

[@pindanymus3403]

The mini corvette of europe😂

[@erichuff2538]

Some cool old cars there.

[@lauackerman4801]

Super bitch'n that you got those two. Ripping around the yard with one or both would be pretty epic. Excited to see what motor your are talking about. 383 maybe? Keep it up and dig seeing the family running around with you!

[@NilLam-7]

Hi David! I would love to send you some car accessories from ATOTO. May I know are you interested in?😀

[@staggerproof5589]

Whether it is good or bad is up to you. However your attempt to stay G rated with the "protect your uh...giblets" comment had me loling for quite a while! Thanks!

[@Thegassergarage]

There are plenty of vintage races to run the ol front engine car at the car won’t cert faster than 10.0 135 but still it will be fun I personally have a chassis research dragster with a blown flathead caddy in it I race it all the time it runs low 10s at about 130-140 and is super fun glad to see you doing something with it also if you need any more info or help let me know I’d be glad to share any info you need

[@toddbanks3215]

Hell yeah that's badass

[@TheKevy]

Love 1 tail light. Just like factory!

[@hurstguy73]

5x5 wheels were on my 62' Olds Starfire but I put a set off of a 90"s Caprice on it

[@smallpaul123]

Love the vids bud but if you could record them on something other than a Nokia 3210 it would be appreciated 😂😂

[@aDonAyaLa]

Saving history.

[@johnpyle9422]

Thanks for the input Brother! I'm learning

[@Dusty10]

Some museum pieces there

[@Jamie-vl8yq]

Yup value wise...

[@K4rt80y]

Once you aren't into a car anymore, its time to let it go. You made a good trade.

[@contexxt]

We call it the agenda Checklist up in Canada. It may get some amendments. Keep on Brother. Be safe and stay aware.

[@BEERDRINKING101]

"Giblets".....lol

[@BEERDRINKING101]

Dang....just seen the shout out to the Cali folks....David Newbern=Class Act...bravo my friend...bravo.

[@Rogue_FiveR5]

Dude, put a link to your merch store in the video description.

[@escuelaviejafarms]

You definitely got a good deal!

[@dieterlange7581]

Everything is savable isn't it especially the good old history of OG drag racing. 👍👌✌️ not all of them, but at least one or two would be a lot better conversation piece if you could fired up and listen to it cackle just my opinion. if I had the money and the shop, I would do it.

[@rogerraff6823]

I want the wagon!

[@dougsnova1]

you should have talked him out of those spyder mags on the digger next to the one you got.

[@TheKevy]

Oh, and go visit Dan, and Dani, at their new shop. It’s time for cross border Newbern sightings. Alberta loves you! To bad I’m from B.C.

[@AsswipeGarage]

Where did D&D move to?

[@terryfoust4802]

is that an opel gt that you loaded on the trailer dave?

[@z06doc86]

Not exactly sure where HRH live, but that sure looks a lot my my Kentucky or perhaps northern or southern eastern Tennessee.

[@Alwhite1929]

Not really sure why you traded as they are pretty much the same but if you are happy with it that's all that matters.

[@fixedguitar47]

What have you done to that Opel GT??

[@Cleaveland72]

I'll miss the Opel.

[@otisbailey5455]

Enjoy your content...but your title ask a question. Answer: should have at least got a kiss and a cigarette. Hope there is an actual plan, not many tracks would allow those on the property. Best wishes that being said

[@AsswipeGarage]

There are outlaw tracks all over the South. Watch the 1320 videos.

[@Dumplingu]

Kid's unloading a trailer and pushing a hot rod in crocs? Seems like you've got a Freiburger in training

[@scottburrow8717]

You picked these cars just about 10 miles from my house.

[@michaelwhitewolf10]

Yes very bad trade for something that you will never do anything with them!😮 bad deal bad bad bad!😮

[@dougperkins4186]

Brian Lohnes just did a video on those

[@dCash117]

Save it all, I just don't like those guys who refuse to sell any of their rusting mountains of crumpled parts.

[@hobman]

I love your videos. But, when you upload using the multi-language feature, I'm getting anything but English when I download to watch later. Please don't use that feature...TIA

[@BrentonMiller-t8g]

I think you should go over & steal the mid engine HenryJ from HRHs & do a "get it running & driving" vid on it, it will be the only way that car will move again

[@vintagecountrycouture8233]

I forgot , ONE MANS JUNK IS ANOTHER MANS JUNK, they will make great grass gardens

[@2wheeledzombie225]

Chevy van truck and caprice are all 5x5 patern

[@malcolmmarsh2710]

I would have taken the 55 wagon

[@looneylonzo28]

16:25 I think you screwed up big-time. 🤦‍♂️

[@vintagecountrycouture8233]

Bad trade. The only use I can see for the 2 frames is to use as a pattern. But both styles are way out of style and that’s for a reason, safety number 1 , durability usefulness and education. If you reproduced either I doubt they would even be allowed on a track. Now if you and a friend wanted to carefully race one another for the fun and experience to me would be the best case scenario. Good luck and please stay safe.

[@escuelaviejafarms]

🤘🤠🤘

[@lukelikens2057]

If you would get in and race that opal then you shouldn't have any problem getting in that yellow one and actually racing it if you're scared I'll do it for you LOL

[@tonykemper8896]

Yes

[@pindanymus3403]

Opel GT

[@RMonkey]

🙂🙂

[@jackmagnium6115]

to be honest i already saw the other video so i would say no. you could build some really cool stuff with those 2. and host yalls own faster with whatever show. after all you still can build right?

[@charlessanborn1093]

It's to bad they ruined the opal in the first place.

[@XLR8-1996]

I don't know about that 1 Dave. Maybe you see something I don't I. Hope you got some cash to boot.

[@georgenebitt124]

Did you really pay money for that junk? It's just scrap metal

[@richardpenner4686]

You traded what....

[@stevehutchinson8935]

Buy your kid some boots🤦‍♂️

[@ChantellStrickland]

He won’t wear them haha

[@JohnLittle-ze7sp]

These were called diggers in the day, late 50`s early 60`s

[@kubota3010]

Bad trade
