What to Expect When Buying a Mopar Muscle Car

Bob goes over the small details that buyers should be watching for when inspecting a Mopar muscle car. Let us know in the comments if you have any questions or extra tips that could help potential buyers!

Hopefully your kids appreciate those cars as much as you do and keep them in the family!

I'm restoring a 1970 Charger 500 that's currently getting body & paint done. Fortunately it's in pretty good shape otherwise, but I heard you mention a lot of useful tips and good advice that will really come in handy when I get the car back and reassemble everything. Thanks for the great video.

[@ginocastellino865]

Thanks so much Mr Jennings! I really enjoy your channel and all the insight you provide from your many years of experience. I as well enjoy all makes but I mostly have mopars. Now I feel better educated on what to look for both with my current cars and future ones. Take care!

[@scatpackbob3707]

Awesome advice - thanks! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@marccallaghan4432]

Just lovely to hear you talk about the personal experiences you have had when buying a car and going through it to inspect for issues. Would love to own one of these four wheeled works of automotive art but don't ever see that happening. Look forward to seeing your next video.

I really enjoy you talking about theses winged warriors!

[@rodypma6051]

Love your down to earth videos, great information born out of experience, keep em coming!

[@erichuff2538]

Love the channel sir. My dad got me into Mopar when I was younger. Now I'm mid 40s wit a few of my own. God bless and your family. Have a safe trip.

[@brianz426]

Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time. Keep them coming and good luck with your search.

[@CaptainCraigKWMRZ]

Another great informative video. Wish I had the equity. For now, I will live vicariously 🥴.

[@StewartLucrative]

Love these videos. Keep up the great work. This channel is going to get a ton of subscribers.

Thankfully, you have an understanding wife. My Last EX-Wife threw away all my documentation, including build sheets, every tag renewal from 1968, because...In her words..."You do not need all this $#*t!!!!!" I told her you just diminished the value of my 1968 Nova SS by thousands of dollars...and she laughed because "in her infinite wisdom" she said, "I did not!!!!!" She also threw away the "Original "Build Sheet" of my 1987 Monte Carlo SS" because in her infinite wisdom, it wasn't necessary and also scoffed that her doing that diminished the value of the car. Then there are the original window sheets she also discarded in her "infinite wisdom." "NOW" you know why she's an EX (even her daughter who I call our daughter even though I'm not her biological father and she calls me Dad, has severed ties with her). And, why I've chosen to remain single in my mid 70's .

Outstanding content, thank you!

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

Great information ,thanks . I saw a video a while back taken at the Essenhaus Cruise In last Sept. and there was the Vernon M. Ball car . I wish I had known you were there that night , as you were only about 5-6 miles from where the car had sat for all that time , but there was just too much to take in over too little time .

[@richardschmidt6619]

Very useful information on what to look for when purchasing any car. The video does bring back memories of my own experiences on working on some of the Mopar cars in the 70s. Hopefully your will kids maintains the collection of your Wing Cars well after you are gone.

[@bobjennings7144]

Thanks Richard! Our kids like the cars, but don't love them so someday a bunch will be coming up for sale.

[@markadams7597]

Excellent advice, Ty.

[@MikeJBlues]

Great video and some great cars, I would be worried about wheel bearings as well.

[@RLTango]

Great insight! I'm guilty of letting my 65 Dodge Coronet convertible sit. Best I can do is give it a comfy garage to pass the time in!

[@christybresnahan5496]

Great info. We have a great deal of everything you have described for our 1969 Dodge Daytona. Excellent video as always.

[@classiccarfanatic]

No videos on it?

[@seekingtruth9182]

Thank you sir. Thus was awsome

[@michaeladamo6279]

Excellent video Bob! I hope to see you make more videos I really enjoy them. When Dave does that report for you does he break down the broadcast sheet also or is that a different service you have to have him do

[@taxspeaker5254]

Mike he does break the broadcast sheet down but in a different way. I like the 1 page summary better. Bob

[@michaeladamo6279]

@@taxspeaker5254 I agree with you it looks much easier to read

[@dougnations1270]

Thanks for the great tips!

[@mr.s.7166]

To make your wing car Collection complete I highly recommend getting a viper ACR. I’ll tell you what I love the old-school cars just as much as you but this car is extremely special and I’ll tell you what as a super car you cannot go wrong the engine is bulletproof and as far as I’m concerned I’ll put it up against any car as far as being one of the greatest cars Dodge or Chrysler has ever built just saying love your collection love your videos

[@gavindowell8239]

never heard of Judges book will look at making something similar. I am in Australia.

[@paulhelm5384]

How can one man be so damn interesting?

[@rickbailey189]

Bob, none of us older guys "LOOK and RUN" the way we did some 50+ years ago. We should NOT expect a 50+ yr old car to look and run the way it did when it was BRAND NEW. Everything takes maintenance.

[@simontsang964]

Also all wings were aluminum and the nosecones are steel! some out there have fibreglass nose cones!

[@w41duvernay]

The 6 pack on the first car must have been on dealer added option. The 6 packs weren't available on the winged cars.

[@bobjennings7144]

Actually, yes they were available on Superbirds (1970) but not on the Daytona (1969). Approximately 700 six-barrel Birds were made, I own 2 of them. You can tell if a Bird was built with a 6 barrel by the 5th character in the VIN. An "R" is a Hemi; a "U" is a 440-4 barrel; a "V" is a 440 six pack.

[@relaxinmaxin7246]

Whatever happened to the rusty winged cars near Daytona raceway?, or the white one the Arizona highway patrol used for high speed pursuits?. The winged car in two lane blacktop?.

[@danieljennings7769]

I don't think I've ever seen a Plymouth rim blow wheel like that. Is that a 70' only option?

[@MikeJBlues]

I wish I could locate my old 69 roadrunner I sold in 81. Any ideas on how to without the VIN?

[@c.wdervin5987]

Do u restore cars I got a 70 charger rt I wanna restore…

[@jeffjohnston3504]

I've had a whole lot of bad luck and mine were not wing cars. People are evil. They know it's wrong and still don't care. 😢😨

[@55Reever]

I almost bought a 70 Challenger years ago. I fell in love the moment I saw this car. This car was a complete and total fraud. Had the RT emblems RT hood and had been repainted black.

[@wowyummyyy]

♥♥♥ 👍👍👍

[@davidfreet581]

Expect most of them to be pieces of crap that someone rebuilt. Look at all the totaled cars that shops are restoring. A car is only original once!!!!!!
