Wrecks to Riches | S2E6 | 72 Chevelle "The Green Car"

[@skiplambert4693]

I've always loved Forest Green, but this color is absolutely fantastic!!!

[@robertcolfack26]

My favorite car ever on wrecks to riches......I love the color green......

[@coycarlson4979]

Mine too 😏✌️✌️

[@glennw9761]

in high school my 64 Malibu SS 4spd 327 was the same 💚 paint 🎨🖌️ miss it dearly!!!!!

[@freedomhillbilly348]

Love, love, LOVE the color. And the white stripe scheme worked better than the leaf motif, imho. Tony did good, in spite of his reservations.

[@JonarusDraconius]

LS-1 / 6ltr V8 in a Chevelle! I love it! I had a similar idea for a build, but twin-turbo instead of supercharged (which means less low-end power, but much better fuel economy). ~JD

[@kushalsingh3277]

They have their own bidder to increase price , great job bro

[@georgsteinle747]

Thank you,Guys, so good Job,beautiful! Keep doing, best Wishes!

[@waynef9669]

i'm from Boston, and this is one "Green Monster" i would love to have.

[@waynef9669]

[@evgoproductions]

CO's- much respect to you all. Car guy are car guy. Very very cool. I'm a multiple Chevelle owner in my younger days too. I love them & the Nova;s. I've had aa cpl of those too.

[@sherrigaskin5656]

Same guy at the auction as the last episode I watched.

[@markellis4229]

This is my kind of eco-friendly I love it 😁😁👍

[@Kruzerdave]

They keep mentioning how Tony is stressed about pulling off an eco-friendly paint job........but he doesn't spray the car. whats he stressed about?

[@darminatin]

Kruzerdave Right?!

[@geteverydolla1875]

Kruzerdave right

[@hollieblackmon3958]

Kruzerdave I

[@CanadaBud23]

His is management and his name on the line for that paint job.

[@martytdd1606]

Kruzerdave yeah, just shows you scripted the whole show is.

[@Fbody_Omar]

My Chevelle SS is 6.0 LS2 Swap with a fat cam ! Pushing 485hp 500twq no need for a blower but would be nice

[@ssdtrain1]

1971 Chevelle SS 454 did not have 450HP, it had like 375HP The 1970 Chevelle SS 454 had the 450HP motor in it.. actually it put out somewhere between 450-500HP !! but do to the insurance "crunch" on HotRods, GM booked the 1970 SS Chevelle as 450HP...

[@pjlss454]

One more thing, when you install a late model drivetrain into an early body/chassis and don't have it mocked up first, it tells me all I need to know about the quality of the build

[@michaelmedley1779]

eather way this is a beautiful car.

[@GrandViceroy]

I saw this episode aired on the tlc channel. One of my fave episodes.

[@moparracer76]

I love how most of you don't realize this show is over w decade old. it was a different time. crazy paint a big stupid wheels were trendy. And the fact they were only making 400hp from a supercharged LS motor is laughable. It's kinda cool looking back on how far we have come

[@Josef_R]

I was wondering how that LS engine was only 300hp. My 17 year old LS430 Lexus is 300hp.

[@zahari_s_stoyanov]

"Ever wondered how to drop the price on a top-of-the-line Chevelle?" :D

[@irondan13]

thanks for these posts. great show

[@Machina_Official]

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for Watching & Subscribing!

[@richardbarr6814]

Thars absolutely gorgeous. I had a 71 Malibu that was dark metal flake almost black in the shadows. It was a great first car it makes me sick till this day that l totalled it out. Forty years ago. It to was perfect all original

[@WuHa105]

Gorgeous paint color choice

[@Hueydarkangel]

Taking an "eco-friendly" muscle car to an auction is like serving double bacon cheeseburgers at a vegan convention.

[@CattleRustlerOCN]

Or Tofu at a Steakhouse

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

Putting a chicken feather on a pig doesn't make it a chicken. The only thing green on that car is the paint.

[@ramonghoek]

😂😂😂

[@davidcarnie145]

Even so it was a car guy who bought the car and not a tree hugger.

[@OriginalMomo]

Yeah, but It did sell for $80,000. So I guess you were wrong LOL

[@troypatton7290]

i love how they have the same bidders in every show

[@jlomeda8536]

i'm just sad watching this last episode! --- i was kinda hoping for more! Barry's family and team made history!

[@brucewayne9483]

No dumb ass, people watching his tv show made it. You can only do so many cars for tv before ratings go down hill. It's called,,, doing business.

[@derickballew5941]

That sell price is ludicrous. For that amount you can build 2 SS Chevelles and still have money left over. That buyer had more cash than sense

[@mattpressley4063]

Not in 2006 you couldn't lol. This was a state of the art build back then

[@vanlarson9213]

Sick, the whole thing' Eco

[@infoSeeker007]

My favorite color green with the White stripes excellent. Question is did have cup holders and I would have made the lights modern that way it would make it a new facelift!!! I need to take this car and keep it original except for the mirrors and the lights in the front. Make the interior ultra modernized. ⭐⭐⭐ Course I'm a rag top guy this would have been excellent if it was a ragtop!!! 💥

[@peteroleary091]

That was buetiful i like the color of the car

[@knewcnew7117]

If the auction assistance were not a female, I wonder if that would even hit 65K.

[@Properformancenutritioncom]

it's fake

[@9983sp]

It's all staged for the cameras, I have seen the same 3 or 4 people always bidding on his cars.

[@MadAlhazred]

That's the mother fucking green Sabre!

[@p0licenthieves]

This reminds me of the green parking zones in malls. They're green cos you have to walk a few meters to the mall entrance, so they call it 'environmentally friendly, healthy parking and paint the bays green. Fkn mental really.

[@TheHoriyoshi]

true that? in the US? all that green effort all over the planet goes up in 'smoke' with the Airplane-traffic only, let alone all the other BS we pull on our earth^^. The millions of farting cows not included^^

[@zibusisohadebe5281]

These Are the best car mechanics of all time

[@michaelmedley1779]

what color green is that or the paint code on it. I got a 1960 Chevy panel truck I want to paint green.

[@clarkgriswold5903]

Looks like a '71 to me, the front parking lights are different on a '72. My parents bought me a rallye green '72 Chevelle Malibu 350 Convertible for high school graduation in '77.

The whole green/eco friendly theme is quite ridiculous. Who is guarding all the prisoners while these shade tree tools are working/ hacking on the ecomobile?

[@marshallbrooksjr.9088]

The Arab oil embargo did not take place in 1973, it began in November 1974. Great car, most buyers don't care about 'green', they care about fast!

[@426superbee4]

Love this car and the color too

[@mam362]

How much do the auctions get in commision? I feel like that could completely wipeout the profits on some of these cars

[@dedrakuhn6103]

Huskvarna makes quality tree hugging equipment. That expensive 🌲 water based paint drove me nuts. Can someone smack um upside the head every time they mentioned that paint?

[@ricardsiagian4352]

nice but wheels too cheesy

[@moecalderon3555]

Yep and someone didn't remove the stickers after installing the tires😅

[@rathorpe1]

They do these builds because they real money made is on the show. No one can make big money totally restoring old cars and selling them. There is money restoring for paying customers though. Ask Danny at Counts Kustoms.

[@hollieblackmon3958]

[@9983sp]

I think these prices are all for the cameras. They have the same people bidding on the cars at every auction.

[@garryberry4784]

Car should have been natural gas I think. Ya missed the main environmental issue. The gas fumes.

[@rickwesterfield2452]

I recently paid 3000 bucks for my 70 Chevelle bodied El Camino and it came with a brand new cowl induction hood. Rust was a little worse than the car in the video but overall not too bad because I can weld in patches.

[@jamieeedden777]

That's cheap here in the UK that would be more like 10 k atm I'm helping a pal with a ford consul but my dream is to find an impala wagon probably won't happen as I've never seen one in England

[@paradisemace1]

He paid $2,750.00 for a car that was to be crushed...?

[@waynef9669]

+paradisemace1ya...i would have said a grand or cruch it...i bet he would have taken it.

[@mysticm0rhpix240]

To be honest it didnt come with much problems

[@petelattimer6808]

[@bradleyburns2401]

water based paint really that fades very easily in the sun

[@CanadaBud23]

Use the right clear and it won't, they UV block which causes fading.

[@justinhale2999]

only thing that gets me same 3 or 4 buyers every auction

[@alphabravo3304]

Chris do you value your job? Do you check the inventory before signing off as accepted in the shop?

[@evilwarcow]

60.000 sunk into this thing. $80.000 retrieved from this thing at auction. That's a profit of $20.00. Which that is 3rd of the cost more than what was sunk into it. So that is borderline at the low end of my book. Not Bad.

[@user-s1o3nr532]

Plus TV money, and they can use the paint shop refit equipment again.

[@Man0War_Loki]

Profit of 15, not 20. They spent 65 on it

[@michaelmedley1779]

I like that green anyone know paint code for this.

[@CattleRustlerOCN]

Featured Chevelle is a '71 but video title says '72

[@LOYDAUGUST]

he said it was a 1971 46:11 love these cars,the color is great,its amazing but anything over 40000 seems kinda high

[@kalel21675]

"It's an old 60's muscle car"....it's a '71

[@ryanmoore2847]

Aswell as the title saying 72

[@torks2339]

Delusion...Step forward? Set a new trend? How many environmentalists are muscle car fans....zero!

[@theyingyangdogs2446]

lol

[@robertpyle6173]

Are you still rebuilding cars I'm just seeing the old ones here

[@phoenixkool]

whats environmentally friendly about a muscle car :/ all they did was sand blast it with baking soda and painted with a cleaner paint... lololol wtf?

[@TheWretchedWorld]

phoenixkool compared to running a built 454 this car has far reduced emissions and has a catalyst to aid with this. Also uses much less fuel when cruising and driving under normal conditions.

[@phoenixkool]

so, the classic muscle car which was super pollutant, is just a tad less presently, got ya! thats like saying smoking a light tar cigarette is healthy compared to smoking a normal tar version..... still causing a problem

[@MrTopsoil911]

catalytic converters, natural leather,steel grill,aluminum rad etc........

[@phoenixkool]

I never said i dont like them... please quote the part where i said that. you stupid bigot. I love american muscle, im just disagreeing with the 'green factor' you did goto school sometime in your life right?

[@rosspaterson3288]

its not even that restoring an old car using recycled parts is better for the enviroment than building a brand new car from scratch.

[@IISR9II]

wow, it's still light outside at 10pm. Are they working in Alaska?

[@40belowful]

I have window regulators and glass too:)

[@marvinlopez198]

Let s do it!

[@friendcrow]

What make/model is the white car thats getting crushed at the 1:30 mark.

[@friendcrow]

Figured it out. Its a 1969 Ford XL. The 1968 and 1970s were slightly different at the lower front fender marker light. Its missing the corner extentions off the front and rear renders. From the side it looks like it was in great shape , even still had the original hub caps.

Soda blast is alright, but if you're going to use it for rust, forget about it. It's not happening. It won't even touch light rust. It strips paint pretty well though.

[@Properformancenutritioncom]

this show is fake.

[@albertgaspar627]

Absolutely no junkyard crushes a Malibu this solid. Not one that stays in business by failing to flush money right down a toilet. They all know certain cars--chevelles, first gen camaros, Mustangs etc-rustier than this, swiss cheese floorboards, dotted line rust in the roof pillars where the vinyl top once was, rotted rockers--sell for $4K in the snow belt. And I do not exaggerate--the Yuppies buy these things for shops to build. I watch first gen Firebirds go up in price just so the Yuppies can have them converted to Pro Touring Camaro clones.

[@scottbronson9738]

It must be a 71, judging by the front turn signals!

[@brandonmarino535]

Was there ever a 4dr Chevelle model that was factorySS...
