I love how momma and poppa had big smiles and momma was in her glory I think the love for cars is in your genes and in some cases passed down it was great to see 3 generations involved in that rebirth of that 68 Roadrunner even though the little one just smiled alot I wish they were my neighbors

This story is so refreshing. His son so respectfully accepting the challenge in bringing this Road Runner back to life....and all well knowing it'll always be dads car. Kudos my man

a true story of “ love”.. that car… love of family , a marriage and memories of good times in life ❤️

This is what it’s all about. Sharing your passion with the next generation. His memory will live on by passing the car on to his children and grandchildren. He was driving that car when he met his wife of 50 years. That’s beautiful. I really enjoyed this video. Greetings from Toronto, Canada 👋🇨🇦

I was a street racer when I was a kid in the 70’s and had the time of my life! But now that I am old the most favorite thing about old muscle cars is…. Given the current state of the country today, you can take any group of seniors of any color or any ethnicity, and put an old muscle car in front of them and suddenly the only color that matters anymore is what everybody’s favorite paint color is! Suddenly nothing else matters but the muscle car! It’s amazing and I LOVE IT!! The joy dad and mom was sharing when they were cruisin down the street was PRICELESS! Good luck with the restoration and would love to see a follow up video after yer done! What the country needs is more old muscle cars!!! That first road runner horn BEEP BEEP was AWESOME!!

His reaction to vent windows was hilarious 🤣 i was born in 82 myself. But my dad was a Car Guy that made sure I was a Car Guy. Good to see people get excited about the Past. Sure Miss my Oldman. Also excellent choice on the Avs2 carb. I put one on my 82 c10 before I Ls swapped it.

Awesome story. My father gave me his 58' Ford F100 Custom Cab. Big glass windows all around. Hes had it for over 50 yrs. i will never sell it. My mom passed 3 yrs ago and my dream was to see them in it together. It runs but it needs some upgrades. Its stillbin their home in Los Angeles and i live in Texas now. Im not financially able to get it restored or just fixed up a little to make it easier to drive (power steering mainly). Hes 76 now and i dont think ill get it to where i want, so he can drive it around comfortably. I enjoyed your video.💯

Being a Mopar guy and RR owner myself I was loving every second, smiling like crazy watching that ol girls come back to life. Happy memories for them 👍🏼

Hmm, it's nice but I'd make it a show car. Why? Well.......... A lot of people seem to forget that old cars are a liability. Headlights are crap, handling is crap and if the unthinkable happens, they will fold up like a paper plane. I'd never give one to my child and would advise them against buying for regular use. First thing I looked at when my daughter came and asked me about a car she liked, "What is the Euro NCAP score"?

What a great family! Excellent help from friends and folks in town. And I’m impressed with Roger’s prep and willingness to jump in. Could not help but smile at the end.

this is so cool; some of my favorite parts of the video is watching the son learn about things we used to find mundane on the older cars, like the flip out vent windows and the headlight dimmer on the floor. All cars should still have dimmers on the floor. Beautiful car, great story!

What a awesome 👏 thing to pass the car 🚗 down to their son and an amazing ending! I hope he give the car the restoration to its formal glory it deserves. Great Story I’ve owned a Roadrunner myself that the engine was built to the Gills by the late Great Maurice Petty so I can relate. Wish I had mine back because that car would absolutely fly and I never lost a street race with it the entire time I owned it. So I have a soft spot for Plymouth Roadrunners and MOPAR Muscle cars.

A guy who didn't know what a starter was got this thing running after all these years. Quite a testament to these cars!

Hi you guys are doing the right thing! Don't forget to take pics with mom and the family while you are working on it. You know in stages. I have done the some with my family. It's priceless!!!!
