My 1976 cutlass supreme found me I was looking for a 75 because my first car was a 75 but 1 of my cousins sent me a picture of this 76 saying that he was thinking about buying it I told him do it the money was right and if he ever decided that he didn't want it that I would buy it for whatever he had in it so he bought it and about 2 months later he called me and asked if I wanted it still so I bought it and fell in love it will be handled down to 1 of my boys 👍 the car only has 52k miles

These are the reasons I come to your channel regularly. I've always been a proponent that old/beautiful cars need to be shared/driven. It is sad when a car this beautiful sits in the garage for no one to appreciate it. I know it was difficult for her to watch it go, but I'm proud of her for seeing greater value in letting someone else appreciate this treasure. And to let someone who is also going to appreciate it just as much as she and her family did. I also love that you got as much story about the car as you did. We all know that the story of a car is just as important as a car itself. And when we talk to each other about cars we loved (whether they're classics or not), we love to hear what the person loved about it and the memories they made.

And knowing the type of people you and Michelle are you would proudly keep in touch with her and let her know how the two jewels you have gotten from her on how they are doing.

We didn't own it the whole time but got it back and had to rebuild it but I know the kind of heart ache letting something like that car go. Rest assured it is going to family that will love it for another 55 years. Congrats Paul and Michelle, just watching your excitement proves it was the right person at the right place at the right time.

You guys always impress me with your ability to make smart decisions. The second that lady offered to sell that car you grabbed it immediately ! Imagine you waited and went back home and didn’t take it when you did. When opportunity knocks, answer the door. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Paul you are truly blessed. When you found the Yota I was so happy to see that the person that sold it to you understood that cars needed to be passed to the next generation of people who appreciated them and wanted to keep them going. Now you’re lucky enough to find a sweet lady in the same mind frame willing to part with her memories to allow you to fulfill your dreams. I’m sure it will be in your family for at least another and 55 years.

One of my favorite cars of all time! My older brothers best friend had two 69 Firebirds with the 400 and 4 speed. I've always loved them, so much better than the Camaros! Camaros are everywhere, but you don't see too many of these old Firebirds, especially one that's been in the same family since new! Congratulations Paul! So excited for you I can barely type! God is good, all the time!

It is so nice to see these two vehicles find a home with Paul and The Fab Rats. I know he will take great care of them and get them running happy and looking pretty. It goes to show, what comes around goes around and I have seen Paul and Michelle doing good things on this channel and their big hearts shine through in every video.

Man what an epic and emotional deal. I'm super happy for you guys. She seems like an awesome lady who knows it went to the best possible next chapter instead of someone who would just buy it and flip it which seems to be the trend.

This is what I love about your channel. You will treat that car like one of your own children ( maybe better). The raw emotion behind it and the fact that she knows it will not just be flipped for a profit. Just like the nice lady that gave you her husbands tools shows the love people have for you guys. Keep it up.

Well dang. I have tears running down my cheeks. What a sweet lady and what a score of a find. I can sympathise with her on her sadness. I have a van that was grandpas and then dads and now mine and i get offers all the time but cant sell cause of the value it has to my heart. Great video guys. I still cant wait to see eds reaction to the nugget.

Man what a car ! Something’s in this world are meant to be, I’m happy for both of you ! I would have loved to have seen your pulse rate when that cover came off. All original classic muscle car, third owner, I would really count you as second owner being that the first to were father and daughter ! I could feel the emotions in this video. This car has been well taken care of and that will continue I’m sure. Congratulations !
