[@juanitatoole9332]

Look like Tess was going to have to call on Fred Flintstone to stop that thing when she was going to reverse 😆🤣

[@cj393]

My 1st legal car was a 68 442 ❤ Built a 455 with a 425 crank, 2x4bbl low rise intake, big cam n more goodies.

[@3wheelslifelonglivetheatc559]

I like your dimples tess also your man's super lucky to have a women like you im sure everyone agrees awesome video

[@vaughnhill3437]

Tess. Tony wants to be a plumber when he grows up. Thats called a plumbers crack when his shorts are falling off lol

[@bikewurks1757]

Wow ....my mom had one of these and took me to pre k in it...I use to ride in the package tray....

[@myeighty-nine7813]

442's are so sweet man!

[@icerazar713]

That stripe on the left fender makes this car look like someone crossed a 442 with a SuperBee

[@ironmike742]

Tess take the water bottle away from Tony before he catches both of you on fire 🔥. 😂😂😂 GOOD LAWD

[@my357mags]

Of course it was going to run...it's a GM! Now that 6.0 diesel on the other hand! LOL Great video guys! 👍👍

[@rayhendricks7379]

Bet my 6.0 powerstroke outruns and outlast a duramax lmao

[@mikemiller3007]

I used to work for a guy that had a ‘66 model with a factory drag pack. Had 3 deuces and a .390 gear. Cool car. All stock and he bought it new

[@thomasward4505]

What I like to do when I start a car that's been sitting for a long time is use two-stroke gas. And your pistons and everything get oil as soon as they get gas works like a charm

[@sillycatthing]

I had a flashback to Uncle Buck at the end with all the smoke. Should be good now for another 20 years.😁

[@michaelrichetta638]

I have a 72 Oldsmobile cutlass convertible needing about the same amount of restoration. Storing it at my mothers house for now.

[@michaelgerber1199]

A 68 Olds 442 with a manual is my favorite muscle car you two are entertaining

[@bobbrejcha9658]

Brings back memories,first car was a 70 Maverick and second was a 68 Olds 442 Ragtop

[@kingodhill8449]

My first builder was an 83 cutlass I found at the back of a GM dealer ( repo special ). It had a 260 v8 and low power. I drove it to my neighbors salvage yard and pulled the motor. He had a 350 big block just like that car. I spent a week after my high school classes and swapped it in. It bolted right into metric turbo 350 trans and all. What a screamer it was and never lost a race. I miss that car so bad now. Thanks for the memories.

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Well Miss Maverick that was one very good look of SHEAR PANIC!!!!! Thanks for sharing. New subscriber the old man’s garage turned me on to your channel. 🇺🇸👍

[@Icook4u71]

You all should restore her. Would be a sweet ride.

[@hollowpoint357sw4]

Yes,100%. Not many on the road especially stick.

[@darrylj4554]

The stripe W36 option is original to that car. What many people do is add it to their 442 if it did not have one. Problem is if the car didn't come with the stripe, the 442 emblem is moved forward slightly so when the stripe is added it is too close to the wheelwell. It ends up into the curve of the wheelwell and doesn't look right. Great project car, one year only unique styling on that car. Safe travels!

[@stephenmitchell3569]

June Morgan had a Red 442 and both were what dreams are made of in the great state of Georgia! One fine young Lady and could dive like a demon with a smile!!!

[@ohiolawnpros9221]

I love those old cars my first car was a 68 Chevelle SS with a 4 speed

[@johnrosier1686]

I have a ‘68 442 in about the same condition. Mine is all manual though so I have even more room under the hood. Glad that you got it fired up and running.

[@breal3117]

NIce car and would be a cool project! Yall are a good pair together for sure! Only thing freakin me out is pouring that gas on the carb and the dist and coil! I was like we r fixing to watch this thing burn down! Cant tell u how many times ive seen spark jump from an old points cap or coil wire on a car that has been sitting was trying to get running!

[@garyrichardson2915]

You two r a riot! Really enjoy the show.

[@fluxcapacitor9867]

My classmate & cousin resurrected his dads 68 442 4 speed “1985” swapped in 70 455 torqer 2 intake 850 Holley & man did it have a top end w a 2.56 posi , with that torque it would dip into the 13s in 1/4 but fast for 2 15 year olds that street raced by sneaking around , miss the 80s , neat car !

[@doorman7316]

You guys are Nuts 😂! Loved the ending as it slowly walked off in a cloud of dust and smoke 😂😂❤️🇺🇸

[@chuckamato2828]

How did I miss this episode? Great video!!!

[@tommymartin4827]

I try to pour gas down the vent tube of the carb to fill the bowl. Looks like great fun 😀 best of luck 👍

That is a Holiday sport coupe, worth researching and restoring

[@brandaneakright6082]

That 442 is a really cool car and could be cherry with some work, definitely gotta restore that olds. That should be a 400 in that 442, but I’d put a 4 speed back in it though. Definitely want to see more of that car, thanks for sharing.

[@HeyLiana1]

Great video, I can’t believe that 6 L runs at all, had the same Oldsmobile when I was 12

[@davidtweed8986]

Next to SRC and Old man garage

[@2sheamotorsports199]

What a hilarious video ! Great job again guys. Keep it up. You both are obviously much more comfortable behind the camera. Can’t wait for more. Flip that 442 for maverick money! 😂 Don’t break our hearts and let the maverick be anything but a sbf!

SBF for life! I may go 9.5 deck though. Don't hate me 😂

[@MissMidnightMaverick]

I can’t wait to get that car road worthy. We’re waiting for our shop to be done before we get started on restoring it though.

[@enigmacamaro]

you can actually fill the float bowls by putting gas down the vent tube and get a little bit of idle and possibly a few revs out of it, for something that has been sitting for a long time I recommend using the premixed 2 stroke gas that way the cylinders get a little extra oil with the gas, it'll help the rings on first start up, and help lube the carburetor. nice little tip I picked up from vice grip garage.

[@MissMidnightMaverick]

It wasn’t in the video, but we squirted some WD-40 in each cylinder when the spark plugs were out.

[@enigmacamaro]

@@MissMidnightMaverick yea, I heard you guys say you did after I wrote the comment lol

I'm in Southern Oregon and like to race at my local track medford drags. Hope to meet y'all one day!

We do have future plans for it, but it’s on hold until we get a shop built right now.

Absolutely loved this one

[@eric63377]

Tony you are an absolutely lucky man! She is 100% grade A++ perfect, a keeper and thE rarest to find. Great video guys and keep up the good work. Also that 442 could turn out very nice! P.S. Check the high pressure oil pressure with a scanner on that 6.0 diesel and see if it is out of spec. If you don't know what spec is I can look it up and tell you.

[@MissMidnightMaverick]

Thank you! It actually ended up being the cam sync. We’ve had so many problems with that dang 6.0, but we just sold it last week and we, have two other 6.0s that seem much more reliable 😂 as well as a 7.3 and a 6.7 that never give us problems, aside from the HPOP in the 7.3 😂

[@Iknowvfx]

@@MissMidnightMaverick that 6.7 with the CP4 will give you problems soon enough.

[@MissMidnightMaverick]

@@Iknowvfx we actually had a 2011 6.7 that had the CP4 go out at 160k miles and it took the whole fuel system with it. Thankfully it was still under warranty and Ford covered it all. But the 2018 that we have now only has 29k miles on it and hasn’t had an issue.

As much as it kills me to tell you no, we could never sell it. Tony, his dad, and two brothers all bought this thing together for a whopping $500 in the early 90s and we have big plans to bring it back to life once we get our shop up (if we ever make it out of the permit process alive).
