My First Car! 1971 Dodge Demon 340 Walkaround with Special Guest Hudson D!

I bought my 1971 Dodge Demon when I was 15 for $3350 and it absolutely changed my life. I invited my buddy Hudson over to go over the car, fix a couple things, and take it out for some fun. Hudson's an incredible kid, who is on his 3rd heart after 2 transplants and just wanted to come down and have a day in the shop. It was great day telling stories, turning wrenches and burning tires.

You're a rad dude Tony. You have probably made a big impact to a little guy that's been dealt a rough hand so far

[@StayTunedTA]

Just helping out where I can, a little bit.

Yep, 2 heart transplants at his age? Wow. Nice job Tony, you’re a good dude.

Man, two heart swaps!? Both lucky and unlucky all at the same time. Best of luck to the little dude...he has a good mentor.

Yo what’s up I’m his brother I just wanna say thanks. Just wanna say thank you guys so much for the support. It’s been rough with his heart but he is ok now.

[@dhepp2008]

I am blown away that 4+ years I remember seeing you and Finnegan in a picture with this kid, and here you are wrenching with this young man. Bravo Tony, you're a good man! Miss u on HRG but love what you're doing on your own.

[@Mynextproject_74]

That was great of you to include him in this!

[@StayTunedTA]

It was my pleasure, he's a great kid, total car lunatic.

[@jesseshelby4383]

You got a big heart Tony ❤️ what you are doing for Hudson is really special and not enough people in your position take the time to give back. Ya made my day 🙏 keep smashing that skinny pedal 💪

[@StayTunedTA]

I appreciate that. Happy to have him out!

[@juju126]

Thanks

[@n.b.5258]

Loved this video... reminds me of me and my son. Hudson: "It never hurts to be too safe" Tony: "Remember that when we're driving later" Gave me a good chuckle.

[@GeorgeMcNally]

I'm 63 years old.......50 ish years ago- I was *that* kid living in York PA. I hung out at my local garage, helped the owner and his son clean up their shop and helped clean up their 64 Nova they took to York US 30 every summer weekend. They paid my admittance every weekend.....I shoulda been paying them for all the good memories I have of those times. It's cool ....no *extremely* cool that you are doing the same thing 50 years later. It's what hot rodding is all about.

[@schithead7]

Geez , This reminds me of a time I helped a Kid Out 40 Years ago rebuild his bike , Little did I know he was really sick . Not Quite cars but , Same concept and the same Amount of caring and Love ! HAT`S OFF TO YA BROTHER .......... WE ALL SURE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE ! Just One Step At A Time ................

Hudson standing by with his hands in his pockets provide the moment when this video reached the triple likes status. Thanks for bringing in a ringer to make this the best episode ever.

[@willsdsm]

I love it Tony, this is the stuff that kids remember and ignit a passion for cars

[@Andrewlang90]

The thing I really appreciated Tony was that you were talking to Hudson, and not the camera. That really says a lot about your character because you were legit there for him, and not the subscribers. Props man, this was a great episode.

[@adventureswithjayusa9570]

Awesome video brother! You’re making a huge difference in his life and that’s all that matters!

[@StayTunedTA]

Just happy to have him out for the day, it was really fun on my end.

From personal experience I know the kind of encouragement and time you shared with Hudson can have a huge impact on his view of the world. There are many more kids who would benefit from our help, Hudson is very lucky. Your interactions with Hudson are hilarious! Loved your video. It should have 5 million views.

[@StanleyKubick1]

As someone who just had a heart attack and had to have a minor operation, I can say that this kid is a gd hero for going through all of that twice already and still be there with a smile on his face.

[@chrisgramza8582]

Thanks Sir... exactly what I needed to remember we are all here for a reason... Help out your fellow man. Just awesome. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.

That boy will be building 600, 700, 1000HP Engines when he grows up all because of what you guys showed him. He will never forget that! Mad Respect, fellas!

[@crisprapper]

@@StayTunedTA Finished now, Hudson is a great kid for sure and that car is so good I'm glad everyone had a good time (ignoring the momentary oil pressure scare at the end!)

God bless you, Tony! You’re doing things right.

[@TommyRibs]

Tony, thank you for making a difference in Hudson’s life. He will never forget this.

[@bensff1]

This is why I put a giant door to the alley on my shop when I built it. I was the kid with no gearheads in my life, and wanted nothing more than to find a guy who would show me the basics. I remember letting the air out of my bike tires to have a guy in town fill them my dad knew. That was my in to get him to let me watch him build motorcycles, cars, and jeeps. Everyone with an ounce of knowledge about working on old junk or building new gems should do everything in their power to teach the kids who show interest. We love these things because we look at them the same way people look at art. They hold no value unless we give them value. Keep up the good work brother. Proud to have a Tangelo sticker on my tool box.

[@watsisbuttndo829]

Lots of win in this episode.

[@StayTunedTA]

It was a really fun one!

Heart warming Tony. You are extraordinary. Hudson is awesome as well. Yall make a great team!

[@wiggidywakwak]

You have my respect for talking to that young man in such a kind and adult manner. Children get doted on and im sure in his position its much harder than normal to have a conversation with an adult as an equal. Thank you for sharing this.

[@RENEGADEX800]

I don't know if Hudson or his dad was smiling more!

[@harlandheuter417]

I just love how that works; you do a burnout and instantly everyone is smiling.

[@mcjok88]

This is what bored kids with common sense used to do, before video games. By the time u were 12, you could drive, crash and swap an engine out of your go cart. Great to see this Tony!

[@nathanieljones7981]

As someone who had open heart surgery I thank you for doing that for Hudson

[@joshandnissa]

Im a cold hearted bastard. But it warmed my black heart to see you doing this for the kid. I still remember kindness that was showed to me as a child and it influences me many decades later. We should all do what we can for youngsters! You have my respect.

[@StayTunedTA]

Thanks for watching! Sorry we made you feel stuff for a min!

[@paulhardman2515]

Awesome job Tony! You can tell that Hudson has a real interest and love for muscle cars! I was always at my dad's side whenever he worked on cars from age 4 until I went to college and many times afterwards. He taught me so much. I rebuilt my first engine, a 383 magnum for a far too rusty 1970 Super Bee, with his help. He was also a great painter having worked as one for International Harvester for 30 years. We did the body work and repainted several cars including a 1966 Plymouth Sport Fury, a 1974 Duster 360, a 1986 Omni GLH Turbo and a 1969 Dodge Super Bee. As a kid, having someone to guide me that was so patient, understanding, and knowledgeable has paid dividends and made me confident to tackle not only cars but life itself. I'm 49 and lost my dad last December, but everything thing he taught me lives on. Every kid needs a kind mentor. ❤

[@Green_Leaf]

Awesome stuff. ☺️ Here you go passing the torch to the next generation. My first car was a brown 1965 Ford Falcon station wagon that my HS friends nicknamed “The Cockroach”. Good times 😜

[@kikurass322]

You made that little mans day TA, so nice to see him smile after all he's been through. You dad and Hudson, all legends!

[@glenncrockett4451]

This is the best car you own IMO, just love it, the green paint is killer. My grandmother bought a 73 Duster new, she was so proud cause it was the first new car she bought on her own. Her car only had a Auto trans as the only option, man brakes, no radio no power steering. She had it painted once, had the seats redone once, put 260K on it before she took it off the road and gave it to her mechanic ( it was burning oil ) in the mid 90's, she told me she didn't want me to get it cause she thought I would destroy it.

[@timdirk1139]

You’re the man Tony! Made that boy so happy, you see him loosen up over the course and came alive

[@TheRealisticTake]

As the father of a heart patient kid...thanks for doing this Tony!

[@tims72demon]

Great car !!! It wasn’t my first car, but my 1972 Demon was my first New car. !!! Hemi Orange. 50 years later, I still got her !!!

[@vettekid3326]

I had a 1971 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus I bought in 1974 that had the houndstooth buckets in it. Surprisingly they were very comfortable compared to the vinyl ones when it was hot or very cold. I wish it had been a Roadrunner instead but the insurance would have been cost prohibitive when I was 18.

[@StayTunedTA]

They are super cool, not sure you can get them reproductions but I love the houndstooth. I was after a 72 Roadrunner 340 4 speed car pretty bad when I bought my demon. I couldn't afford it at probably 5k

[@garyslentzii2796]

I had a 71 Satellite too when I was 18 - 24, put a 340 & a 4 speed in it, big tires & slots. I dream of having another really bad

[@justinfoster9492]

The patience you have with Hudson. Just wow. It’s hard for me with my own daughter sometimes and I’m sure it can be for you but times like these are what I aspire to with my girl❤

[@loganleclere9718]

My first car was a 78 ford mustang II. The least popular mustang of the group with the big 2.3 inline 4.

[@StayTunedTA]

Still a decent car to have around these days!

[@TheBlitzy37]

that boy will never ever forget what you did for him good on you guys

Tony, I’m a little late to comment. My mom had a heart transplant. The journey is crazy. Thanks for giving this kid some of your time.

[@johnbarker5009]

Awesome car. I totally get why you love it so much. More people need to let young folks hang out with them in the garage. That's how we raise the next generation of gearheads.

[@charlieposey5078]

This warms the cockles. I have no clue what cockles are, but they're warm. Little dude was having a ball working on the Demon with Tony. You won't convince me Tony wasn't having the same amount of fun.

Your the man tone. Moments like this can positively impact someone for the rest of their life and most importantly you did it with authenticity. You probably always return your shopping cart too I bet.

[@shanewilson9250]

I love Mopars. I had a 71 Demon with a slant six in it. Of course, I was an idiot and blew the engine and let the car go in 1990. Now, I want to kick my own butt.

[@StayTunedTA]

Yes, that is the correct feeling.

[@shanewilson9250]

Now, I am looking for a short box D100 from 74-80. I loved those trucks when I was younger. I'd like to do a 4 link coilover 8 3/4 rear end with a custom front end with rack and pinion. Also, coilovers. I torn between a LA 360 or Gen III Hemi. Just a dream of mine.

[@darrelllawson4000]

I think that it's great that you are taking the time to get him hands on with your car just show that you are a real man. There are so many people that won't take the time to do that anymore that's how I learned to work on cars was hands on from my big brother the world needs more people like you

[@wkanost]

When I was your boys age, those were the cars that were on the road. Challengers, Chargers, Firebirds, Camaros, Cudas and so on were all new. There was a Plymouth Superbird I’d see around town and my neighbor had an OLDS 442. Those were the days.

[@lowbudgetbob1155]

I had a 71 Demon in my younger days. It was a 340 car but had a 360 in it when I bought it. That car was a blast to drive and did burnouts for days. I had to let it go when I got married due to the fact that my wife would have killed herself driving that car. A year ago I picked up another 71 Demon that was in rough shape and needed a ton of work. I made a few passes at the drag strip and the 318 was pretty sad. At the moment I'm finishing up a Hemi install and should be back driving it in another week. You have a nice car Tony, glad you hung on to it!

[@mesasavage]

TWO heart transplants at that age? Poor kid! Thanks for making his day, week, year.

This nova is my first car. 35 years this October.1987 my dad bought it for me for my 15 birthday.

[@DB.KOOPER]

AWESOME. My first car was a 73 Dodge Dart Sport 318 with the super rare factory sunroof that was nearly half the size of the roof. Got it with 43K original miles from my Grandmother after it sat in her driveway my whole childhood (My grandad dided before I was born and she didn't drive). I loved that car espescially while everyone else was driving Honduhs and Nissans etc. I had a V8 muscle car and I did everythibg I coukd to make it a _REAL_ muwcle car. Magnum heads off a FI 318 of the time (early 90s) 4bbl carb, super rare Mopar cop-car steel wheels... evebtually sold it to a guy who collects Mopars here in the PNW and its still running around today.

[@scottgshomewrenching1352]
