MARK GETS A CALL FROM A LOCAL CLASSIC CAR DEALER TO INSPECT AND VALIDATE A 1970 ROAD RUNNER.

[@rickmarquette9141]

I love the rockford file introduction.

[@PendeltonWhiskey]

The Hemi engine information was really interesting. As for the 20 minutes of Mark caressing himself, thank God there's a fast forward button.

[@4uh8rz2nv]

I feel you Mark with the joy you have in your daughter learning. I had to rebuild my S10 a few years back and my son helped, 15 at the time. After we got it rebuilt,from stock to Rocked, we were hauling some stuff to storage and a Silverado got cocky and we drug that truck all the way up to a Ram 2500, which we drug too. My son looked at me and said, We Built A RACE TRUCK !!??!! I had to show my son what a Syclone is. 😂 The 5 speed made it a blast. Great episode brother. Its awesome watching these kids learn. Cheers !

[@tillross4078]

Im learning a some things about these Cars ,, Thanks for sharing ,, Good videos , and always a Great Job 👍

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Very nice work and video and car's thanks 👍👍👍👍👍😊

[@JoeBilello1969]

Boy, this shop sure does it right, I wish I had access to these resources. I tell ya, you dont realize how much work this is until you rip a car apart and start. Seeing i dont trust anyone else's work, I do everything myself, so I was working on one of my builds for 8 years and back then everything had to be custom done on a Pontiac Engine, no off the shelf stuff for that. Not to mention the older cars like these had next to nothing in them, once you get into the mid-70's the tear down and rebuild becomes a lot more difficult. My 1983 Riviera Convertible was a nuisance to work on as was my 1988 Vette Convertible. I miss the days of a heater-core being a 15 minute plug and play deal, now you have to take a bank loan😲

[@JoeBilello1969]

Something i always think about when i watch these videos is it's gonna be a real sad day when these old timers pass away, nobody is gonna run this shop like this guy, i dont see any of these other people here as knowledgeable or as enthusiastic as Mr.Worman is😢

[@t3chninja_official]

That's the part where you are wrong. There are lots of young people as enthusiast and are very knowledgeable about Mopar. He's one of a kind and more than likely not many like him in the entire US. These were cars from his era and hence why he's so knowledgeable about them. He has a passion that's for sure.

[@jimconnelly816]

you guys truly are beautifull when it comes to mopar. If I had $ 150,000 US i would have a cuda built with the hellcat crate and a modern suspension and braking. Wouldnt hesitate.

[@yardsausage]

i love the rockford files opening theme..so cool.

[@papawoody9597]

The green '70 is a nice car, but likely not a nice as the buyer thinks it is. And maybe it's just the lighting but that doesn't look like any EF8 Ivy Green. I have the '70 EF8 Duster that my parents bought new, and had a '70 Road Runner in a very similar spec to this one. 50 plus years of being around EF8 says something doesn't look right. The GTX is gorgeous, and what a great story to go with it.

[@timothyrobinson1612]

It doesn't look right to me either, I have owned a '72 roadrunner/GTX optioned car for 28 years and it's original color is gf3 amber Sherwood metallic and it looks exactly like this car,that being said, it's a beautiful car 👍

[@timothydubois5834]

I took delivery of a last call charger scat pack widebody this weekend. I wish I could have gotten the Hellcat but could not justify the price.

[@donalddesnoo5303]

Just thaught id mention the phenix cuda was on a mopar event at carlyle see. Backyard barn finds dont know if for sale mentioned was grav yard restro

[@ItsDItsmeddEveryman]

Hey, Mark: I’ve watched your show, but I’ve never seen an explanation as to what happened to Darren or Dave Rea. Where did they go???!?

[@JamesRiner-rv1mv]

Beautiful car

[@grayblackwood6741]

what is the 354 he was talking about? or did he mean 345?

[@Stetsonhatman]

I wonder how this custom compares to a modern hellcat. I rode in a hellcat once, owner used the red key and punched it from a stopped position. The tires spun only a little and the back end squatted down then the car launched - the Gs were the most that I’ve ever experienced. I remember 70s muscle cars would spin the tires a long time in comparison before moving the car forward.

[@rekinlas]

It's amazing how back in the day, cars like this probably ran 13-15 second quarter mile times. Now they run 10-12. Certainly many of the new cars have more horsepower, but traction was terrible for those classic muscle cars.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Interesting history of the Hemi Engine...

[@wd8545]

Well I went 160 in a Stock 72? or 73? RT 440 Challenger, Auto, Buckets , Grey with the Black RT Graphics. Going off of memory Ok its been a while lol . I was sitting in the back seat behind the drivers seat watching the Speedometer . It was my friends older brothers car. And he let off on it. Dam we were all being watch over by God . Im thinking it may of had a Thermoquad 850cfm.

[@charliecliche6155]

'Going off of memory,,,,160 mph', well I'd say your memory is more than a bit off. 😂

[@jasonsutherland3496]

Smoke em if you built em😁

[@rickuyeda4818]

1970 Superbird without posi???

[@milaryan17]

Why do you report videos that have already been posted?

[@JamesRiner-rv1mv]

In 72 the compression ratio went down because of emissions

[@JoeBilello1969]

I've been a wrencher for 40 years and built, restored and customized a lot of cars in my life but I kinda lost interest in everything once the big money crowd stole the hobby from everyone else!!! Now you cant do anything without having a mid 5-digit budget!!!! Just building a moderate power-plant cost thousands of dollars now.....as much as a whole nice running car used to cost😮

[@fishsquishguy1833]

I totally hear you on the money aspect. I was a teen in the early 80s and it was a working class hobby back then. The whole concept of muscle cars was to appeal to the working class crowd anyway. But back then all the cool cars were built by people in their garage. Even if the car wasn’t an original muscle car, you’d find a lower powered solid body, pull a big block out of full size or station wagon, build that and add a bunch of speed parts and go from there. They were built and owned by guys who could wrench, weld, or lay down a nice paint job. Now they’re owned by guys that have large amounts of disposable income and used as an investment??? How f*cking lame is that?!? The money being thrown at some cars is crazy and also being spent on original parts. Kind of drove a lot of the guys who were really into it, out of it. But still we are lucky. Unbelievable to me in the 80s is the fact that there’s a 2nd muscle car era and it’s about to end soon. Plenty of examples out there by the Big Three and plenty of low mile used examples out there so should be able to enjoy on a budget. Sure I’d love a 70 Hemi Cuda’ but you couldn’t even drive or enjoy it as it’s meant to be because of its value. Just an overpriced garage Queen at this stage.

[@JoeBilello1969]

@@fishsquishguy1833 I'm glad I'm not alone. There's a lot of nice cars out there, like a C5 convertible I was looking at, but now you have to take the ridiculous amount of maintenance required to keep any of these things running into consideration. Who wants to practically have to rebuild the whole car if you have a transmission problem?? I have no ability to drop an entire rear-end, a torque tube and whatever the hell else needs to come out just to do a transmission job.......its insane!!! I remember when all of this started in the early 80's, I remember needing to take a thousand tools outta my box just to do a water pump, half the bolts were 1/2" and the other half were 13mm WTF?!?!? Then going to change a headlight with your Phillips head screwdriver in your hand and seeing these star-shaped things WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?!?!? TORX??? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?!? My tool set kept having to grow and grow until I now have like 20 grand in tools!!!! I remember back in the day when this bullshit was happening, how many times I had to stop and go buy a tool that otherwise wasn't a problem the year before!!! A lot of this was all about money my friend......all about money!!! Phillips screws were fine, but then you wouldn't need to go and spend a fortune on new tools now would ya?!?!? It was all such bullshit!!! The greed factor has crept its way into everything and that's what it's all about GREED!!!! Just look at what it takes to do some of these otherwise minor jobs on cars today......SHIT!!!! I still have an out marker-light on my mercedes because I don't have the time to take the whole front of the truck apart just to change a light bulb!!!! IMAGINE IT COSTING A HUNDRED BUCKS TO CHANGE A MARKER LIGHT!?!?!?! WTF!!!!

[@fishsquishguy1833]

@@JoeBilello1969 I agree with you about how more difficult the newer stuff can be. Anything you do to the motor, and not even internal shit, like headers for example, usually requires a retune. So there’s the added expense and time of a hand held tuner and possibly dyno time to dial it in. The tools required and the knowledge base is out there but it ain’t the same as a cam, intake, carb and headers swap that you could do in a weekend in your driveway. I personally stick with manual transmissions as l know I can deal with a clutch job but I’d be lost if my 10 spd auto was acting up. The good stuff is that rust isn’t nearly the issue it used to be. Living in the NorthEast that was always a huge issue. The other thing is that even with higher miles a maintained motor usually isn’t down on power. I remember doing compression tests on cars from back in the day and even at 70 or 80K, they’d be noticeably down on cylinder pressure. Must be better oil and metallurgy of modern engines? I do agree with the greed and expense of everything though. $1800 for a set of long tubes and catted mid pipe? Sure it’s stainless but WTF? Even the used performance parts market is expensive right now. At least you are starting from a better point with something newer. Just to get the chassis, brakes and drivetrain close to the performance level with a 60s or 70s car would cost a lot in time and money. Plus you’ll be over paying for a solid example to start with or dealing with rust repair. It is an expensive hobby no doubt.
