FULL REBUILD: Muscle Car Rescued From Collapsing Barn | Amazing Transformation! | Turnin Rust

[@TheSuperSlothy]

Of all car restoration channels, I think, while the restoration was certainly impressive, what was more impressive were your manners and compassion towards the family. Many restoration channels like to snap up and hose down cars as a quick flip for views. You guys are amongst the good ones, what a great team and a great job. 👍🏼

[@AbbStar1989]

I love how upgrading the wheels immediately brings out the potential in this car.

[@ghosturd77]

I love watching how you two get along so good as father and son working together. I lost my dad this year on his birthday. I wished we worked that well together.

[@TurninRust]

So sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for watching. We appreciate you!

[@ckstaff]

I agree. My dad and I working together was like fire and water, not good. LOL. I like this car, a keeper at least worth taking it to it's limits and best it can be. I know, many want to change out the distributor but I ask why. Nothing wrong with points and condenser as was original and from what I can tell by just the video that distributor looks in very good shape. Just have to change them points and condenser each year or so. A good set of points and condenser run about $50 bucks these days. Used to be able to walk in any store back then and get a set for around $5-7 bucks. Change them out about anywhere, even without a feeler gauge and be able to get home. I used to keep a new set in the trunk just in case.

[@nancychong4650]

@@ckstaff You are lucky, at leas to get to work with your dad on something. My dad was so busy that he just comes home in time for dinner then goes to his room. I never asked him to help me with my homework or anything that is upsetting. Same with my mom. Eventhough that was the case, I love them both dearly and miss them so much. I was very young when they passed away.

[@feuerkind71]

i remember when you pulled her out of the barn, so glad to see her back on the channel and being worked on, she's a beauty, a true survivor

[@Barbarra63297]

Those old muscle cars had the best stance and this beauty is no exception! Nice job guys!

[@johnyakovich1017]

Hi Guys! I just found your site. This Dad and son duo is amazing. You guys really work well together. Today is my 71st Birthday. My late dad bought me a brand new 1968 LeMans. Same 350, black over gold. We shared it till I graduated in 70. Then it was all mine. I dressed it up with Keystone mags. Thanks for the memories as Dad died in 1978. Great Guy!!!! Keep it goin' I love you guys!

[@handsomejonny6211]

we had a gold and black lemans sport in the 70s too, loved it

[@chrishorner81]

One of my favourite times of the week when everyone is still in bed on a Saturday morning, I make a nice coffee and watch the latest Restored/Turnin Rust. Great job guys.

[@harleyadam4813]

The first car I ever owned was a 1980 Trans Am. I've always had a soft spot for Pontiacs and Dodge's. And I love that you gave the seller an opportunity to get involved in the video and the reclamation. He must have loved that. God bless you.

[@texgowing7359]

Bloody good job with the Pontiac guys my hat's off to you both.👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@mikecamann2139]

Can’t believe how much those new wheels and tires changed the whole look of the car! They are perfect!! Nice find, really enjoyed the video. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@askburlefot2645]

WAW so great to see that old US motor brought back to life. Fantastic wheels and what a beautiful car in great color and design. Thanks!

[@donsmith8614]

I was wondering when you were going to clear the windshield, so you can see where your going, disconnecting the fuel line to the tank is usually one of the 1st steps in getting a will it start car going. The Mortske points flick helped, the pontiac turned out to be a decent looking car. Good luck in finishing it up.

[@alstella9395]

Yes, the quilt on the windshield was bothering me the whole time. It didn’t bother either one of them. It just goes to show you some people don’t see that is being disgusting but these guys do an excellent job of getting old cars running. They’re a great team.

[@murtanto2977]

[@73Quiksilver]

This car is very dear to my heart ; when i was born my Dad had a 1972 Lemans Sport with a 400 c.i. in Anaconda Gold color and that is the best looking car he had in all the ones he had after that until his passing in 2009. If i ever win the lottery, THAT is the 1st thing on my wish list, to buy one and build an exact replica of my Dad's to enjoy for the rest of my life. In the meantime i'm the proud owner of my own classic Pontiac ; a 1968 Beaumont (Canadian Chevelle) that i've owned for 13 years and i'm at my 3rd one, all 1968 but all different engines. Love your channel and hope you guys will still be around for a long time !

[@quarter-py4nr]

Bring them to life… put a 455 ram air in the Pontiac! I have a 1970 SJ Grand Prix… it had a 455 Ram Air… FAST

[@Deckie1969]

I don't think I have ever seen a Lemans with the small round window on the C pillar? Is that something that was stock or is it aftermarket? Did I miss them mention something about it in the episode?

[@HighOctaneSpeedShop]

I had forgotten how good the Pontiac LeMans looked. Job well done guys 🏁

[@appasrakave1625]

😮 1:07:12 😂❤😊

[@vincentconte6973]

As a Pontiac owner myself, I glad that this lemans got rescued! Would love to see an underside transformation a nice exhaust system! Defiantly gonna stay tuned!!

[@محمدالقماطي-ط7ك]

Thank you guys for reviving history again and thank you for your respect for these cars of great value

[@Skol1226]

I like how you kept it simple and straight to the point. You got some classy guys and have a classy ship with great character and full of honesty. I respect a whole lot. Let's see more projects & keep up the great work

[@ronaldmiller2740]

GREAT VIDEO GUYS !! YOUR BOTH ARE SAVERS,, AMEN.. OF CARS I AM NOT SURE IF I HAVE SEEN THIS VIDEO BEFORE I REMEMBER THE ROUND BACK WINDOWS,, YOU DONT SEE THESE IN A PONTIAC''S THAT OFTEN . THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@ahmetturkmen0011]

Jesus im in love with this channel! What I appreciate the most is the unedited dialogue, which really gives us an insight of the step-by-step sequential troubleshooting and sharing of ideas of what you guys are talking in detail, so we can listen along and learn, instead of having to guess the reason why certain things were done. In contrast, when they cut out the dialogue and overlay music across the video (as seen in some car restoration/rebuild channels) while good as a concept, the viewer misses out on the details and the process of repairing things. You patiently explain things without rushing too, and that is also something to note. Keep it up guys, I wish you success!

[@ronaldmiller2740]

MY SON MAX 8 YR.S OLD SAYS PART 2,, YES!!!

[@kevinsellsit5584]

It's interesting how the past 50 years have changed the definition of "Muscle Car". In my youth, things like a "Landau Top with Opera Windows" or a "2bbl Small Block" were the definition of "Not a Muscle Car". Clearly, in today's market, my definition of a muscle car has broadened significantly, along with most other car lovers. I have never seen a 2 door Tempest or LeMans with Opera windows, but for that very reason, I think it's extremely cool!

[@jr42a1]

Beautiful stuff man.I can say theres no one better to have done this job.The care you guys take in bringin one back is top notch.Well thought out,planned,and executed.

Bravo, Team Turnin Rust! Another great vid. I watched a Restored vid this morning. Part 2 of the unibody camper soon to be diesel machine! Keep up the great work!

[@larrybragg7406]

I had one just like this Lemans except it was painted yellow with a black vinal top. No air-conditioning because of it coming from the east coast. They kept it in really good condition. Thanks for showing this video. It sure brought back good memories when I had one back in the early 80s

[@youxkio]

I WOULD PAY YOU 12K FOR THIS JEWEL!!!! After all repairs and a new welded trunk. I would give you that no looking back! If you see some Brazilian commenting here, that is because there are also many muscle cars in Brazil, and many Brazilian people recovering these beauties, just like you guys. They are complimenting and greeting you guys for the incredible work, which I also agree with. Greetings from a Portuguese living in Taiwan.

[@staceypass9759]

I just wanted to say thank you guys for taking the time to give theses cars a chance of life on the road again and I love watching your shows once again thanks

[@lstone.09]

Awesome car. Congrats on being able to save it and bring it back to life. 🚙🚙🚙

[@seanharrison5064]

You just can’t go wrong with the body lines on these cars.. They look so good especially with the addition of those rims and tires and this factory color green rocks too!!

[@RoninDosho]

That is a really cherry LeMans. I hope you will keep us in the loop with whatever else you do. And By the Way, the editing has really become upscale! Nice work.

[@alpelkey]

Thank you for restoring a piece of Detroit art. Cars were amazing in that era ❤❤❤

[@jimamundsen7029]

Great follow-up to the first content! It's kind of a stretch to call it a "Muscle Car," but with a four barrel carburetor with CAI, new intake manifold, HEI, headers, & dual exhaust, it's close. Keep on keeping on with this Le Mans!

[@robertlacob8831]

Yes, a 326 will never be a muscle car engine., just a good running engine for daily driving.

[@ckstaff]

Why all that? It was never intended as a muscle car. Lemans-GTO, Malibu-Chevelle SS, etc. Restore it as close to what it was and it would be a cool car as is, a Lemans. If it were mine, I would even keep the distributor with the points and a new original exhaust system. No need for headers. Change carb to 4 barrel is fine but IMO keeping this car as close to original is best and a daily driver at that.

[@hayneshvac2]

That old car is a survivor...I think it needs a trunk pan, and a holley sniper, show it some love...Great video, great find, can't wait to see where you take this build.

[@eightiespike]

I bet you were glad to get that windshield clean. I'm surprised it wasn't the first thing you did before working on it. Great car and video. Please do another on this one.

[@theworldsnewsplainview952]

Thank you my brothers in Christ. Enjoyed your content . Love the old Pontiac. God bless. Keep the faith. Meet you in Heaven one wonderful day!

[@simeon2851]

You guys found a gem. And then you went and put those rims on it and made it look even better.😊

[@bobb7780]

I found Turning Rust! The Pontiac Lemans thumbnail caught my attention. A good friend’s mom had one and we rode around in it as teenagers. I watched the video and was captivated. I don’t know very much about cars. This one brought back memories. I like Lance and Wyatt. After the video I found your video about being tied up for a while, Restored (will subscribe there too!). I learned of your faith in our Father and praised Him as I saw your story. God Bless you.

[@leoisstellar]

When people pretend to have sentiments on a old rust bucket that they had 35 plus years to work on themselves, and didn't do jack to it, and when you show up, all of a sudden, it's such a sentiment item they all shook up about it like they can't part with it, turn around and say "Good Bye not interested."

[@briandeeley1599]

Not to mention it is not a muscle car, it is a plain old Lemans model and to ask 2 thousand dollars is a ripoff, only the high performance models were defined as muscle cars.

[@Amarillobymorning777]

The tail line style it way better than the new dodge challenger. The whole car look very very MANLY 🎉🎉🎉 GR8 vídeo clip

[@Paleoman52]

This was a fantastic episode! Great job! I graduated high School in 1972, that was a really good year! I always loved these cars!

[@jaredshoemaker9196]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, do a follow-up on this old Pontiac. What a cool car. Thanks so much for sharing your journey. Take Care!!!

[@RogerEbert-vy5pv]

I don't see how you could not keep this one. 🇺🇸

[@johngregg401]

Was pleasantly surprised when this video popped up on my feed. My dad used to have a 74 Lemans in that same green, never seen another one as I'm English. Brought back some amazing memories, can't wait to find what you do with it

[@stuartkarshagen6274]

What a beautiful car, love the lines. Looks sweet with those wheel's 😮. Very nice 👍🏻

[@samarooragbir81]

Good job guys beautiful car almost ready for the road stay bless BRO

[@ogresspeedshop]

Another great video. I love the old Pontiacs. I am a bit partial since I own a 69 Firebird that I’ve been slowly fixing up the last 5-6 years. I almost took offense to Lance’s comment about only changing the spark plugs and it running so good…. It’s a Pontiacs of course it’ll work… lol… thank you for what you do putting classics back on the road and taking us along for the ride!!

[@jonesburnside]

Man! That's a gorgeous looking car! Great job guys!👍👍👍👍

[@mrfatbobrider1969]

That was a fantastic performance of a well synchronised dual Texas Chainsaw Massacre starting up moment , very well executed … ✌️😎👍💜 You Guys do some amazing transformations with some cars others would simply scrap or turn their back on, and forget about them forever… Keep up the good work guys…

[@danielsidaway719]

Those wheels really make the car look great, and I hope that you make more videos on its restoration. I just wished you had grabbed that Dodge pickup at the same time.

[@Southernboy_85]

that ole 1st gen dodge needs to be revived that thing is beyond clean i really hope somone buys her and shows her some well deserved love.

[@christchild211]

Nice car. ❤ Really great shape too. Ya don't see too many of those cars around. Really nice car.

[@mattskustomkreations]

This is so cool and brings back lots of memories. I had a '72 Luxury LeMans in this same green color but with a white top. Interior was the same color too, but was the top-line Morrokide buckets with a console. The '72 LLM was a one-year-only body style hardtop with its own special 6-panel grille, trim, badging, '71 tailights, and the craziest thing - factory FENDER SKIRTS! This car was loaded with AC, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes. Plus I had PMD Rallye II wheels and custom redline tires. It was flippin SWEET!

[@prasunmahata7784]

This is not a car...this is a piece of art❤

They were still built by hand, back then.

Strong work fellas……😊Part two please! 😁

[@jodycarter2271]

Great work fellas and on the power steering being super easy to turn I've noticed as well back when I had 70s Oldsmobiles another GM car the steering on all the cutlasses I had would steer like a dream I would drive them with three fingers alot of the time I miss those old cars GM made some quality cars back in the 70s👍👍👍👍👍

I really love how you guys respect the old owners and save the memories for them. One critique though I WISH YOU PRESSURE WASHED THEM BEFORE WORKING ON THEM SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE. So glad you saved another one maybe someday I can buy one off you. God bless you three !

Pontiac

[@frogsbigsky]

​@@BanishedToEarthoh I know that's a Pontiac I wasn't even talking about that I was talking about that old Dodge truck sitting outside where they were cutting the tree😂

[@quickdeuce]

This one's for sure a worthwhile effort to bring it into the 2024's with modern steering, brakes, etc. A four barrel is all the engine needs,, those little 305's have more than enough power to go light to light, city and hi-way cruizing will be fine.

[@rudybriskar5267]

Nice find! Definitely worth fixing.

[@amrikjaswal76]

Nice find and even better rescue!!! Both my finds were barn finds....69 442 and 85 Grand National.....you have to take care of them as they were forgotten by someone else!!! Great Job.....I put the same rims on my 442!

[@gusgone4527]

I do like the look of that car. The front end just look right somehow. Even those round portholes set it off nicely. I'm only half way through the video 47:32 so do not know if there are any hidden faults yet to be found. At this point it looks like a candidate for a full professional strip down and restoration. Including dipping the chassis. The rust looks doable but I'll wait and see. BTW I'm British and a fan of the American muscle cars. Until it comes to a corner. 😃

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Turnin Rust Crew Wyatt :) Lance :) , Christine :) yes those cars nice first seen back my childhood of 1976 to 1994 was Navy Blue body plus Interior with Black stripe plus 2 door in 1985 never got talking to owner just remember past my parents car they had and so nice! Then in 1992 when age 16 bought my late Cousin Brenda 2 door 1980 Pontiac Grand Le Mans red body , Interior and had for 10 years till frame broken in 4 places on me so sold for parts also made money buy newer vehicle ! Had lots fun with 1980 car and much more! Looking forward more videos too soon watch on this project!

[@michaelmcswain627]

[@scottleininger6201]

Wow Guys that ole Pontiac really cleaned up nice I can't wait to see it when you get it all done. Beautiful car🤠🤠🤠

[@V8Deuce]

As a long time diehard Pontiac guy, you had me until you put the oversized African American wheels on it. A set of 15" Ralley II's and raised white letter tires is what that Lemans needs. Dual exhaust , repair or replace that front valance , buff out the paint, steam clean the interior, and its done. I remember the days when Lemans's were parts cars for our GTO's, and no one seriously considered to actually keep them . Today things are different.

[@zokhidbekusmanov2913]

Putting on the new wheels are more urgent than just power washing it for first, especially the windshield 😅

[@terryeustice5399]

Seems like I may have seen this car removal before. Could be wrong. That 4 wheel drive is strong moved that pickup easy. At 2,000.00 a decent deal. The tires a wheels make the car. Pretty easy start for you men. Should make a great flip.Thanks for sharing. 💯👍👊

[@DannyOlsen-f6m]

I've always liked all your videos you and your father has done over the years and collected all the vehicles and everything else that you've collected over the years of going out in swampy areas to cut down trees where the cars are buried in between trees I believe it's your sister was recording the videos as you and your dad or trying to salvage vehicles out between trees you guys go I just love watching you and your father go rescue vehicles and stuff and restore them 💞🙏😇💯👍✋🤙😎🏁
