Join Me For A Behind The Scenes Visit To The ABSOLUTE Best Muscle Car Show On The Planet! MCACN 2024

[@pcbullets8726]

Looks like it was a fun time! Thanks for sharing Tom!

[@scottdowse7790]

Thank you for circling back around and showing the parts in my swap area Tom, It's much appreciated.

[@rocketresto]

Hoping you sold some stuff!

[@JeffMiletich]

WoW!!!! So many beautiful cars!! Thanks for the tour! Growing up in the 60's in Superior, Wisconsin, in the evenings we'd tune our transistor radios to WLS AM Chicago. Their main sponsor was Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge. Their big deal was that they had a "Dyno tuner".

[@rocketresto]

Ran every car on the dyno!

[@paulfulton5078]

Thanks Tom for the extensive walk around of the show! I haven't gotten a chance to see it in person, so watching yours and Ryan's (auto archeologist) videos are great! I'm a born and bred Mopar guy too. My dad worked for the "old" Chrysler Corporation.. started in '63. He worked in the department that created v.i.n. #'s... he was a computer programmer that created the IBM TAB cards for all Chrysler vehicles. So I have been involved with Mopars my whole life. Thanks again 👍

[@rocketresto]

Wow, would love to hear about the process of getting the VIN's made and the IBM cards, that stuff fascinates me!

[@kevinbaird2332]

thanks for the stop by my 67 RT convert in the pure stock display

[@rocketresto]

Wish I could have done more in depth on some of this stuff but just so much to see! Beautiful car.

[@gsmith207]

this was awesome thank you for walking this! I’m tired just watching! I don’t know if you could see everything in two days but I’m gonna try next year for the first time. Great vid

[@rocketresto]

Was not easy but yes you can see everything in a day but it’s A LOT of walking.

[@behemothpowersports5958]

Thanks for posting all the great Mopar content!

[@ks9w]

Thanks for the video Tom. I was at the show on Saturday and would have liked to met you.

[@rocketresto]

Sorry we didn’t get to meet, I’m all over the place and hard to track me down sometimes.

[@ricksaint2000]

Thanks for the look in at the show

[@MikeJBlues]

Awsome event, thanks for bringing it to us again.

[@markwegner6100]

Broke my heel & missed it this year. Thank you!

[@rocketresto]

Well that’s not fun.

[@ScatPackRob]

Great walk around. Neat to see the wcars before the show got crowded.

[@danmcintyre9961]

The aluminum car section was incredible. Thanks!

[@rocketresto]

Very impressive

[@davidbrown4180]

Love that Chrysler sign

[@rocketresto]

Still mad at myself for not getting it, a broken one two booths down was $1k!

[@Mclovingarage]

That Bengal Charger is so cool! I have a 1:18 die-cast of that car. Would love to see more on it if you make another video like you mentioned.

[@rocketresto]

Stay tuned, did an in depth video of that one. Have so many videos to post might be two weeks till it goes up.

[@joshjesch6000]

I am a huge charger lover and coronets and that blue 66 that should not exist gave me a huge grin. I had heard of them but not seen one. I've always been in love with the idea of having a 426 wedge. Thank you so so so much for us that can't be there.

[@rocketresto]

Thanks for watching! Yes very unique car, was a big controversy when it first came out and people saying it wasn’t real but a couple others have shown up and it is documented. Mr. norms did all sorts of fun stuff.

[@michaelnault5905]

Great look! I've been to the Gilmore museum. Awesome place.

[@rocketresto]

It is the best auto museum I’ve ever personally been to. Haven’t been to Ford and a couple others in Detroit however.

[@jesselent7894]

the ventura GTO’s are sweet.

[@adeeponionbrah]

Get much sleep Tom? The Javelin was beautiful. Love the RT’s and the Mach 1’s.

[@rocketresto]

Just waiting at the airport for my plane home, sleep is for after MCACN :)

[@joshjesch6000]

Safe travels! Hope you had as much fun as we did watching. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@DPWheeler67]

VERY cool

[@bobsantarsieri8232]

Great show, was there on sunday

[@johnnyace1954]

Freakin awesome man!! Like a kid in a candy store

[@BigBoxDodge2020]

Really glad you showed us this car show, they've got quite a few gems in there. By the way, I still have my high school muscle car. I would rather be thirsty, Then spend $5 for a bottle of water. Those beverage prices are a fricking joke.

[@rocketresto]

Just ridiculous. That’s awesome you still have your high school car!

[@BrandiHergert]

Impressive!

[@mattskustomkreations]

Just started watching - I’m so stoked! Thanks Tom!

[@rocketresto]

Think this one turned out well.

[@mattskustomkreations]

@ For sure, why do I feel like I saw this last night? Is this an edited version or repost from yesterday? Maybe just a picture orientation change? I’m gonna watch it “again” either way. 😀

[@rocketresto]

@@mattskustomkreationsdid a live last night, this one is more more thorough and edited.

[@mattskustomkreations]

@@rocketrestoGotcha! I figured it out by the time you passed the Mod Top car. 😊. I actually got a got a kick out of some of the covered cars- even the covers are gorgeous. Could you imagine selling the Hurricane car’s cover as a mass-market one-size fits all cover? There would be a lot of head scratching on that one.

[@MoparJimmy]

Great video Tom, Gentle Ben was owned by a Mopar you tube channel, they made a lot of video's on it, good video's. Love the Barn Find section.

[@rocketresto]

Yes and it was in the barn find section a year or two ago.

[@alcyr5655]

I think the first gen. Hemi with the overhead cam was developed for Indy racing.

[@rocketresto]

Think you are right, super cool.

[@JoeFilardi]

hi Tom good ep i like the 71 demon black and the 72 brown duster .

[@rocketresto]

Both super nice cars.

[@johnnyace1954]

Awesome video footage dude!

[@emptymannull]

Sweet walk thru, appreciate it! - What charities does this show support? Like why is it so huge, is it for wounded vets, disabled children, or what? That's what shows out my way do a lot of charity wise.

[@rocketresto]

On Sundays veterans get in free.

[@michaeljones7085]

I would have watched more but you just walked by nearly ever chevy, I know your a mopar guy. Good work.

[@rocketresto]

Easy to miss specific cars, video was already almost 45 minutes, was trying to show everything.

[@Darryl-69SE]

Yes!!!!!!

[@Darryl-69SE]

Ever been to the Detroit Autorama? Like to see you or Jamie up here someday at a show.

[@rocketresto]

Never have, always wanted to go.

[@0004612]

I remember that 66 Coronet with the 426 wedge, Backwoods Performance, (I think) KZbin channel had it. Wonder what they sold it for?

[@rocketresto]

Never heard.

[@johnnyace1954]

Freakin awesome man!!

[@mattskustomkreations]

Fantastic array. 19:45 The paint/color on that Firebird was stunning. What color was it? Was it a root beer brown? A bronze? Any story on it? Another poncho that caught my eye was the ‘65 Lilac Mist GTO - gorgeous rare color. I’m pretty sure I saw it featured in a magazine back in the 90s. I like the ‘69-72 GP noses, but they look better with quad headlights. Also, thanks for lingering on that Toyota Crown - never seen one before.

[@rocketresto]

Not sure on that color, not much of a Pontiac guy but it was interesting.

[@mattskustomkreations]

@ Thanks. I like Mopars but they were out of my league financially and comfort level when I was an active classic car owner. I favored ‘67-‘69 Mercury Cougars, plus I owned daily-drove a mint ‘72 Pontiac Luxury LeMans HT Coupe. If you’re not familiar with them, ‘72 was a one-year only body style for the LLM. It had its own grille, trim, and badging plus the top interior. It also had ‘71 GTO taillights and rear bumper. The craziest thing about them was that they had factory fender skirts!!! Pontiac was obviously trying to slice the LM/Tempest/GTO pie into many pieces. My only Mopars have been mom’s ‘74 Gold Duster with back seat trunk access option, and a ‘94 Concorde my folks gave me - was an awesome car.

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

Don't know if you were even born yet in 1969 or 70 but I lived about 30 miles from Talladega then was 10 yr old and all the races came on local TV then. I watched them wing cars and all that jazz. Real cars Real racing

[@rocketresto]

What a time for racing…and no, wasn’t even born yet!

[@staceyrenner5418]

Man, what an amazing show!! Is MCACN invite only or is it open to the public?

[@rocketresto]

Open to the public on sat and sun.

[@americasclassics]

Who is behind the Barnfinds? Ryan (didn’t catch the last name ) interested in his books

[@rocketresto]

Ryan Brutt, he has done two books now on barn finds. He was a big reason it became a thing for a while.

[@americasclassics]

@ thanks 🙏🏼

[@JeffMiletich]

Them 1967 GTOs were the best looking I M O.

[@rocketresto]

A lot of 67 GTO in the 68-70 charger.

[@JeffMiletich]

@@rocketresto Probably why 68-70 Chargers are my favorites.

[@Darryl-69SE]

What happened to the first mopar -70 charger you had years ago? Did you ever come across or try and find it?

[@rocketresto]

Bought it in high school and second year of college needed a daily so sold it 😢 Mopars5150 sold it last year but price was insane, wanted to buy it back but just too much money. Maybe if I become a KZbin millionaire I can buy it back 😂. Been meaning to do a video on it, think people would watch.

[@Mclovingarage]

Was the Panther Pink Coronet a 440 trim car? What engine did it have originally?

[@rocketresto]

Yep! I got a pic of the tag, I’ll look. 318 car

[@BigfootsnMopars]

Ironically I’m a Pontiac guy that’s into Mopars…🦶🏾

[@rocketresto]

All are welcome, we like Pontiac guys. Now Corvette guys…not so much.

[@joshjesch6000]

I hate ALL corvettes equally.

[@Darryl-69SE]

Have you ever met Birdsong or people from graveyardcarz? If so, how were they? Whst do you think of graveyardcarz work?

[@rocketresto]

I’ve met both of them.

[@ChrisWayte]

if someone finds a matador red 1970 442 please tag me. been trying to find it on here and cant.

[@EddieMaiden-j2g]

Great video Tom thanks for posting it.

[@rocketresto]

Thanks for watching!

[@gordonborsboom7460]

What is a 5150 car?

[@rocketresto]

Mopars5150 is a group buying a lot of Mopars right now, specializing in finding barn findy type stuff, they have a huge presence on social media, instagram, KZbin etc

[@johndillinger8482]

the best musclecar show is the pure stock drags in september.

[@rocketresto]

I’ve heard that is a good one but in terms of quality, variety, and uniqueness MCACN is tops for me.

[@johndillinger8482]

@@rocketresto there is a section in MCACN of some of the pure stock drag cars.there is another series called factory appearing stock tire(FAST),but those cars are all clones.

[@roycervantes1341]

Yeee Yeee 😊😊😊😊

[@rocketresto]

Yay yay

[@michaelstrafello7346]

Keep watching, pretty sure a couple come up.

[@czechappy]

I never like Jay leno, He has backstab alot of people

[@0004612]

Agreed. I refuse to watch any of his videos.

[@dartdude4084]

Jay the man. You sound like crybabies

[@rocketresto]

Met him a couple of times and he seemed very nice, got to tour the collection once too, not sure what happened in Hollywood but the dude is a car guy.
