Jacob I’m sure you probably did by now, but if you search up Deno’s Wonder wheel Park, scrambler ride, you can see the ride with the same exact yellow wings. That car you have is definitely from that scrambler ride.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

I looked up a video and you are right, it is 100% the exact same model with the same colors, can’t verify it’s the exact same one, but that definitely supports the story

[@Cre80s]

Just guessing, the original manufacturer probably sold them with the choice in a handful of appearances packages, so you'd be able to find particular models decades later that are near identical in appearance, but usually with different art on them. It seems like many parks would have their own branding/theming on them but others would just want one of the budget "default art" they kept on hand sort of thing. Surely there’s some manufacturing info on the parts to research those kinds of things.

[@JonHazzard]

Wonder if there is any serial numbers or anything on the chair?

[@elsiegon7118]

@@TheCarpetbagger Hi. Omg thank you for getting back to me, You made my Decade!!❤️😊 it would’ve been really cool if your car really was from that actual ride!! If you look there’s another video but it’s poorly made, but it’s says, On the scrambler at CI, it shows it when it was in Astroland, CI, before Astroland was demolished, the ride was blue before . Then they painted it different colors when it was moved around the block to Deno’s.

[@elsiegon7118]

I rode that scrambler ride back in 78 when I was 6, when it was in Astroland, C.I. Astroland was demolished in 2009, then they moved the scrambler ride to Deno’s Wonder Wheel Park.

[@ThatWilyOtter]

Hey Jacob, a couple of tips on cleaning up The Scrambler car: To clean up the rust, get some Naval Jelly. Put it on the rusty parts you want to clean up, let it sit for a few hours, then wash it off. For the seat, use some Armor-All for the stains and junk. To refurbish that foam part of the seat which has deteriorated, get some red FLEX-SEAL spray to re-coat the exposed foam or some red latex spray paint. For the wood parts, get some Clear Coat spray paint to protect the wood from further deterioration. Good luck with your new fun seat, Jacob! By the way, new name for the home-museum? The Bagger Mansion!

[@warmlantern0000]

I was going to say Armor All and clear paint too. I never heard of the other stuff you mentioned. Thank you bc I need that stuff too. 😊

[@ThatWilyOtter]

@@warmlantern0000 My pleasure! Good luck with your restoration! Take pictures!

[@danloisell3054]

I think it would make an awesome swing for a front porch or backyard!!

[@mclarkins]

That's what I was thinking. Turn it into a frontporch swing

[@karentucker2161]

That would be a good idea too!!

[@warmlantern0000]

I was going say a swing too. But inside the house after he restores it to look new again. ❤

[@proconsumersafety]

For the Scrambler, you can hang it as a swing chair on your porch, or from your ceiling if reinforced properly if what you are hanging it from is reinforced to handle it. To clean to metal, I think use steel wool. Restoring it a little would help make it look quite nice and welcoming to sit in. If you put it in your home, I would still hang it or put it up a little, then behind it have a mural of a photo you have taken with the ride background view would be cool to see. Enjoy.

[@edaltounian7118]

I know some people really like the aging, but I think it would look really good with at least a partial restoration. Maybe have the wood replaced with something new and varnished. A riser to lift it up like you mentioned and replace the seat covering (or repaint?). Then, either a light cleanup of the outside or if you prefer, a total recreation of the decals with polished exterior. Any way you do it, it's about as cool as it gets! Love it and congrats on scoring a really cool piece!

[@Sparty-pi3jq]

It's awesome no matter what, but me personally, I'd want it to look almost factory new if it were in my home.

[@warmlantern0000]

Exactly what YOU said 🎉

[@keithjohnson8636]

Very cool Jacob. Just as a health concern you might want to re apulster the seat that may be moldy from being outside so long.

[@comeoncarebear]

Good idea

[@watchmaam]

Yes I came here to say this.

[@ElizabethTheUnicorn829]

I said that as soon as I saw the seat

[@riftwytch]

The Scrambler was my dad's favorite ride; we rode it together a lot. I hope you find the other cars you want. I don't just want a car from a dark ride; I want an entire ride. I'd like to have a funhouse, too.

[@markzeahammer183]

Carpetbagger, things seem to be going your way lately. Your collection is growing and with a world class collection of Funkos in the Bunker now. Make sure its all insured and documented.

[@1987Megs]

I love this idea for you and Jens new home. 🎉 How cool would a living room of ride vehicles be?! Everyone be on the lookout for dark ride vehicles when thrifting!

[@nadinemarciniak161]

I was very happy to see your scrambler car!! My first thought was "is it from Crystal Beach??" That would make it the best for me. Crystal Beach was the park I grew up going to in Canada (near Buffalo) and it was amazing. Sadly they closed in 1989 but your scrambler care brought back wonderful memories!! Thank you :)

[@ElizabethTheUnicorn829]

My parents told me so much about Crystal Beach ❤

[@kelliejimenez6906]

Thanks for showing your collection!! And for sharing your thoughts! Enjoy listening.

[@mareekatz]

Congratulations 🎉 for the ownership of your very own Scrambler car !!!!!!!! Not sure what your neighbors are thinking 🤔 as they look out the window & see you sitting in the "car" in your driveway 😅😅😂. ENJOY it Jacob.✌️❤️🙂

[@CourtneysCockpit]

Between Jens stuff and yours I was already thinking you will have your own roadside attraction and call it: THE FUNK-O BUNK-O! You could charge admission and ger a dark ride train for people to ride through 😂😂😂

[@sadyeg3423]

Jacob, this has to be one of my favorite videos, sharing your collection, passion, and interests. I am so happy for you. This is so exciting for you, Jenn, and the kitties! All the best to you!

[@Physco219]

This is so great. I want one of those seats. I think my wife would kill me. Lol 😂❤

[@cherieandfrack]

I absolutely love your srambler chair you are going to have so much fun with that! Keep your young spirit going. Have fun. Love it. Jeanette

[@SandyBailey-dv7ud]

I know you must be so tired in this video, but you look so happy. That makes me happy. I’m so glad you and Jenn are home sweet home together. Regarding the scrambler car, wouldn’t it be cool if it appeared to be suspended in mid air, slightly off the ground , with some very small, inconspicuous base?!? I have no idea how to do that, but it sounds cool.

[@eklypised]

The scrambler is my favorite carnival rides

[@lindasayler4566]

So happy for you that you found someone and not alone❤

[@suemoo22]

And she loves the things he loves, they have a lot in common.

[@torta31]

It sounds like you're making your own Marvin's at home and I LOVE that!

[@stevenstocker9873]

If you reupholstered and resprayed it, add caster wheels to the base. Bolt a tray to the safety bar. That would be cool in a living room.

[@adriannec4188]

For what it’s worth, I’m enjoying the life-stuff videos. Thank you!

[@emZeeee]

An entire wall of shelving would be a neat way to display the mold-a-rama figurines. All the different colors.

[@poeticjustice8329]

It is so fun to see u excited about your Scrambler car! Happy u and Jenn got moved.

[@jimtrabold7436]

Seabreeze Park in Rochester used to have a scrambler. It was inside a dome. As you rode, the song Fire On High by ELO would play very loudly. Images were projected onto the inside of the dome. It was called the Gyrosphere.

[@juanzapata492]

So many memories 😊

[@chelseyalexis2913]

I am so happy to see you starting to enjoy your home. You deserve this and I can't wait to see how you continue to make it your own. Much love. ❤

[@Mary-ox9rd]

Turn it into an outdoor patio swing for you and Jenny to enjoy on a warm summer evening..

[@martianleader1]

I have memories of scrambles too. Lots of bangs from it. 😂 this is awesome. Congrats. I loved riding a scrambler inside a building. Chipper's magical mystery tour. ❤❤❤❤

[@saratf]

Looks very fun to have one of those. I started to create my “nerd room”, very much based on the bunker. If you ever have a roadside attraction of your own, I’d certainly come all the way from Idaho to see it. Regarding cleaning, It’s a good idea to have a new seat because of mold. For the rest, soapy water is usually good to start with.

[@NKP-1985]

Jacob , that is so cool ! , you look much happier especially since your with Jenn . Keep up the good work ! ❤

[@sandydisneyfan8355]

I think you are on the right track when you wanted to decorate a bathroom with the fiji mermaids. Look at your collection and come up with some themes. A Halloween -themed room? A taxidermy -themed room? An Elvis-themed room? A carnival/fair-themed room? The furniture in the room could still be traditional furniture, but all the accessories, wall art, displays, etc. had stays with the theme.

[@dacechasinghawk3910]

The scrambler, beautiful. That doesn't too safe but it looks fun. It is fun, I rode several times. Everything is too safe in these times.

[@DavidThomas-vj3eu]

I really like it. Guys have their Harley in the living room. One good outside wash with Formula 409. Then bring in for the details.

[@lindagelnett5772]

Thank you for sharing your journey Jacob 🙂 Love the Scrambler

[@lizlocher3612]

Can't wait to see Scrambler car when it is refurbished,!!

[@kevinnesbitt6485]

Just wanted to slide in here....from Ottawa Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 and wanted to wish you and Jenn all the best on your new chapter in life. Congratulations to you both and looking forward to your future videos Jacob FYI I love your idea for the themed home. Your ideas aren't far different than most of ours out here. Congratulations you two on the move Wishing you and your families continued success and growth 🙏 Much love ❤️

[@disco07]

I agree with the idea, get it cleaned, maybe upholstered, painted with Rustoleum, buy a new decal and clear coat it. Buy a gazebo structure that can support the weight and hang it like a swing. Or, wash it, spray paint, throw some pillows on it and let it age naturally. If you build a man shed with a big screen, it will outlast you. Thats my two cents. I did this with and old metal patio couch and that was 25 years ago. It still on the porch looking good in the neighborhood.

[@unicorn063]

Wow that has always been my fav ride of all time next to the carousel ❤❤❤❤ how cool Jacob

[@davidhernander7217]

Awesome Scrambler car bro carpetbagger you're a legend bro

[@henryescat1104]

The Tiltt A, Wherl is such a fun ride...flipping around with all your pocket change.

[@DrNickRiviera995]

That's so cool! I wish you luck finding the rest of the amusement park vehicles. For that Scrambler car, if keeping indoors it might be well worth it to fully refurbish it, hopefully you can get replacment decals from Eli Bridge too. I myself have a gondola off the defunct Giant Wheel from Hersheypark. Too large for indoors, and it sat out in the elements for 18 years before I got it. Looked pretty rough, but at least no wood or upholstry on it unlike the Scrambler. I totally stripped the paint, and repainted it. Looks good now in the back yard. We just cover it over the winter.

[@Drambles77]

Every time I watch your videos I smile, CB! Thank you for sharing your passions with us :)

[@BevBaker-m3c]

Love your channel. ❤. You have kindly taken me all over America. Thank you for that. Love you and Jen you are so matched. Watching from Cefn in North Wales GB xxx

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Hi Jacob and Jennifer 🙋🏽. Glad you made it home safely 👍🏽😃

[@tanyabootsnpants780]

I have really enjoyed getting to know who you really are through your videos, Jacob. You're one of my favorite humans.

[@MP-gm5gg]

Like your bigfoot cast of track. Very cool. Glad you two made it back home a big move congrats. Thanks Jacob.

[@spencerrebosmax7915]

I love the old school graphics!

[@angelarowe3472]

No worries Jacob m, moving is such a stressful, stressful situation and getting settled in a new place is another situation so take your time don’t stress out everything eventually is going to fall into place 😊, appreciate each and everyone of your videos you take care yourself and be safe. please give Jen a hug and tell her we all say 👋 in video land ❤💕❤️🤠

[@mcox4814]

Congrats on your acquisition Jacob! That Scrambler ride vehicle belongs in your living room for sure. I would definitely leave the exterior as is but make / replace the red seat part so that it’s furniture quality (and comfortable).

[@henryescat1104]

That scrambler car would make a fun body for a golf cart.

[@robertrich9336]

That hat alone is worth a fortune! 😊

[@Hauntmaster15]

Love the direction your taking the place in...now you just need your own Zoltar to put the retired pin hat on.....and your own claw machine so you can always play without wasting $ - Jenn could display some of her stuffies in it 🤣

[@defygravity74]

This is such a good idea! Playable and a practical display case! 😊

[@markdraskovics1962]

HEY,.. JACOB WOW,. man I've Been watching Your channel now For almost 3 years Now and I'm So Glad for you And Everything Else That's going On In Your life Right now. And That will be so Awesome To see How you will Fix The house up In That old carpetbagger Style And please Don't Take this The wrong way But just dont put yourself out There To much but I cant wait till you get back on the road again

[@unklejohn7381]

[@Occupant]

Awesome! My favorite flat ride

[@elf5012]

Your very own Scrambler car. Congratulations!

[@bryonyamada2620]

I LOVE the Scrambler. I even have a Lego version of one.

[@lizlocher3612]

Your collection of antique Mold A Matics are excellent!!! ,

[@zenpanda8351]

I love your scrambler car find!! Man, I would love to see what else you can get. I love your collection.

[@petecast3372]

Weld Aluminum legs on the car and box it in so that you can also use the functional Step. Then box 📦 it on the bottom with Thin aluminum sheet metal To make it look like it is floating. Then paint it up, and in your own color scheme And I think it would come out pretty cool. Happy holidays to you and your family and I hope you enjoy the idea. And thank you for all the wonderful entertainment ideas of the years

[@history_leisure]

Jacob: "I don't really collect things" Also Jacob: *Has 5 of the same Mold-a-matic/Mold-a-rama*

[@lauriemathon7074]

Hi jacob. You are loved for sure

[@Adam-QT]

Please do make it into a museum!!! I will drive out there just to visit!!! Love all your things!!

[@paulfuryes203]

Great video Jacob love your collections and the scrambler car would make an awesome swing in the backyard. Just a thought take care of my friend and as always safe travels.

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

the scrambler seat car is so cool, we met you at your Pigeon Forge meetup and you showed us the gator, we were the last people there to meet you and you kindly chatted with us before you drove back home

[@alliekuma4234]

I can't wait to see your house once it's fully decorated. 😊 I'm really excited and happy for you! I remember when you got Joe Dirt and people were so excited to see him when you stopped at the gas station. Lol

[@mikethrash3544]

Build a small wood platform and paint it red like the upholstery so it matches. Build it just big enough to make it sit correctly

[@rocknamputee9089]

Use the spray dawn dish detergent, it's a miracle worker, congratulations!

[@christopherbrawley6945]

For sure would want a Tilt-A-Whirl car that would be awesome

[@Jsteng08]

Jacob next year has to be the year of the Scrambler

[@lauriemathon7074]

Love you Jacob!!!❤

[@redbonechkn]

Simple Green and a wash rag will clean it up just fine.......

[@shannonblackwell6768]

I love love everything in your collection so awesome

[@mrquinnJapan]

My grandmother had a bunch of Marylin Monroe Hollywood living room and bedroom. I miss it so much. It was amazing to be at their house. And when I say Marilynn Monroe. I mean the spicy side of her lol. That would be so cool. I’m glad you got your own place. To do this stuff. I am so looking forward to what’s next. I can’t really ride rides anymore due to vertigo. But to sit in an old one. Would bring back memories.

[@michaelhembree4167]

glad u got u moved...hope you like north carolina ..i love it there....

[@colleenschwab]

Totally worth cleaning and restoring it, might want to add some extra add on padding on the outside corners since it's metal, as that can become a hazard.

[@allensherrill850]

Even a little Boo back there! ❤

[@ThatAdventureGuy]

I would use Rust-Oleum Rust Dissolver Jelly on it. It will remove active rust stopping it from spreading but will leave the pitting from the rust.

[@lizlocher3612]

Awesome Scrambler car!! Super Cool!!!

[@JumpingInLinesWithJayL]

I have loved so much of this video!!!! I love you Jacob and Jen!!!! I love your videos!!! I watch your old videos when I need a pick me up!!!

[@pennybrown7292]

I was watching this video with my husband. I told him you should make it a porch swing! Use Scotch Brite to clean it up.

[@karentucker2161]

The mold-a-rama's collection is pretty cool and i like your idea for your house. I know y'all would do it tastefully 😊

[@DianaYoung-n3x]

Be sure to visit Zootastic. Less than 2 hours from you in Troutman NC. My family goes every year. It’s a zoo year around that turns into an amazing Christmas drive thru wonderland. Then you can park and see the animals, visit Santa, makes smores, and come face to face (literally) with giraffes. It’s amazing!!

[@truracer20]

It would make a cool swing.

[@MomCN]

Really cool, Jacob!! 🤩

[@jeffreybillups3323]

Thanks!

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Thank you!

[@brandonwendt1312]

You know, I think that if you guys want to redo your home into roadside, attraction, decor, etc, do it we’re not here all that long it’s your home it’s your safe space the place that you relax and enjoy time off decorate it with all the things you love ❤️

[@markchoma9822]

I really like your Ben Cooper Caveman Halloween mask you show as you enter the bunker.

[@niecey7492]

Interesting video. I like the Scrambler car. Your home looks fun!

[@billyurkovich2095]

Love the scrambler ….. Jacob you said you don’t collect anything …. Excuse me … you collect everything …. You could set a theme and narrow your search … future videos could be you going a search for your next pieces … things you like and items Jenn likes

[@ShelleeGraham]

41:10 The BILLIKEN from St. Louis University! It is so unusual and we love it. (From STL expat) 😀

[@tanyaneill3889]

That would make a great porch swing

[@marktaylor9975]

I’d love to weld up a bracket for that and have it move slightly or be stationary. I’d use Dawn to degrease and clean. Let dry well. Love to redo the wood on that too. Cool project and neat find. Be creative Good luck

[@SquarePegs]

Justin is legit an A+ guy, one of the kindest dudes I've been lucky enough to meet. Congratulations, Jacob! What a fantastic addition to the Eclectic Chateau!

[@SquarePegs]

As for the Scrambler car - if it's feasible, might be cool to put cupholders and a small platform in the bar that drops down to hold your drinks and popcorn for a movie. :)

[@JustinLaClair]

Awww ❤

[@sparkeyman558]

All you need now is a VR headset and you watch a scramble video and feel like on real thing .

[@comeoncarebear]

Thank you Jacob for sharing your personal collection.

[@lizlocher3612]

Try Simple Green cleaner. My brother Ken used it for everything n swore by it,.. after washing with that mixed in a bucket of water, I would use a chore copper scrub pad to lightly buff off the rust spots n wipe down with peroxide to get a shiny non streakable smooth surface, then finally, I would put a clear sealant coat of shellac to inhibit rusting and give it a shiny surface!!! I used to have a housekeeping business n these are some tried n true methods. Your Scrambler car is too cool!!!

[@ShawnDyck]

Impressive collection
