As much as I always enjoy your builds, this is your best video since the Firebird episode. It's so generous of you to give away a car into which you've invested so much of your lives; you are wonderful people!

You are all very special people! It looks like the car is in good hands now and it's probably a forever home too. You made the new owner very happy. It was really cool watching what you did for him.

870 miles on a new build? Talk about standing by your work! Great job Fab Rats team! ✌

What are you amazed about? This is not a self-made device. A car that you put together from known good parts must drive 1000 miles without problems. Or is the standard in the US so low? If the Wrecker can do 1000km offroad without problems or cracks, that would be a sign of excellent work.

As an Aussie watching from my PC at home here in Melbourne, I love this kind of stuff as it shows me more of America and the landscapes and quaint little towns. It seems Doug is a great bloke to win and have the Coronet and I'm sure he will cherish it for many years to come. Well done to you all and this is yet another reason why I love watching your channels.

What a wonderful thing to do for him! That journey to give it away will be the memory of a lifetime for the 4 of you.

That was such a fun Ride-a-Long. Thank you, Paul, Michelle, Matt and Jamie, for being awesome people. Doug was a very deserving winner. Fantastic all around!!

Congratulations Doug! Wish it was me!! Of course, I'm not sure whether Matt and Jamie would have tagged along since it would have been a 26+ hour road trip! :)

Great road trip guys it was cool Matt and Jamie could tag along.Doug and his family seemed like cool owners of the ol Mopar.

Happy for Doug, that was definitely a car guy car. Short of a frame off restoration it will never be something that you hop in an drive all over, it will always need love which is the definition of a car guy. Congratulations Doug!

Thanks for taking us along for the ride! My congratulations to Doug for the win! And to you guys for staying out of jail, and giving us a great video. Fab Rats and Matt's off road recovery gave us a double dose adventure of fun that we love to see! Til next time...

File this under E for Excellent and Epic. Can we all give Michelle props and love for her video editing skills while in the air!! Hair is on point even after hours in an airplane too, sheese….. Love y’all

Buncha moms & dads acting like teenagers. What's not to love??? This is just pure, basic joy! Watching Matt & Paul being kids again is so wholesome. Glad you're all safe & sound after that HARROWING journey lol! Keep it real & keep 'em coming. Best of wishes to your whole family.

Enjoyed traveling with y’all! Happy for Doug winning the Coronet! A couple years after I started driving, the police in Pasadena, CA were driving those. You could hear them coming a mile away when those big four barrels kicked in.

Thanks for taking me along.🥰

This sounds like a Palmer road trip!!!! Not always fun but ALWAYS memorable!!!!

being without any family to celebrate thanksgiving with i want to say thank you to the fabrats clan for sharing your time with this old guy. you are like my adopted family via video, a heartfelt thank you and please keep going as you brighten up people's lives. bless you in all you do

How cool to have you all in a person’s driveway!

Love how you guys are all family!!

The video was good and funny ,watching to see whatever could happen. The police pull over was good and you caught a break. I am glad to see good friends ,taking a road trip together. Also, the car went to a good man who loves older cars. Thank you for sharing your experience with your viewers.

The Scottish government has warned people about this for years, yet idiots that are too lazy to do research, fall for it then get others to buy into the scam also. I wouldn't call pushing proven scams, small town values.

That was an amazing trip guys and girls, I'm with Jamie on this one, I had every confidence that you would get to your destination fit and well and that the car would do its stuff. They don't make them like that anymore, there’s too much electronics in them today. That was an amazing thing you did; you guys are the best. Glad you all arrived back home safe and sound.

...there is nothing better than fun time with great friends...best video ever guys...😎👍

Good give away. Glad the heater was fixed before Doug took the title. At least I think the 65 got a good break in for the engine. Enjoyed the series.

I've watched the entire journey of the dodge coronet, it was a great series!! You people are great!!

You people are good folks . I hope. That someday I can meet all of you. I am only 65 years old , but I remember my 69 dodge coronet RT. It had the 3 big taillights in the back. I wish I still owned it. I was only 17 when I bought it . I surely do miss it. You people make me happy when I watch your videos.....thank you. ✌

What a fun outting ! - taking on the adventure of running an old car almost 900 miles through cold weather. It was great to see Paul, Matt with their wives go out & deliver the Dodge Coronet to a well deserving car enthusiast. Glad you all were able to take time away from work & have some fun.

This has become one of my favorite channels. Just to watch all of you genuinely enjoy your adventures. All of you enjoy your Thanksgiving!!

It’s good to see you all traveling together. Glad you all had fun. Grueling but fun. Three days is quick

Talking about a fun trip! Thanks for taking us along!!!

Awesome!!! Glad you guys figured out how to keep the heater working. I know that that was one of the very last things you worked on in the shop...it's so nice too see others that have good friends to be able to go on road trips that doesn't take a bunch of drinking to pull it off. Love how Matt's biggest concern was eating. That is totally ME.🙏🙏🙏🦃🇨🇦🇺🇲

What a great video! Love everything about Fab Rats and Matt’s Off-road Recovery!

A bunch of adults with kid hearts and mind. Love it Happy Thanksgiving. God Bless

I would have sold my soul to the devil to have rode with you four on this trip!! The conversation would have been mind blowing. Also, if I would have known that Matt and Jamie were coming on the trip, I would have bought the Fab-rat store. Imagine meeting all four of you! Bucket list complete! That trunk space was so big we could have put Ben, Lizzy, Tucker, Tom Tom, Rory, Mike, Shawn and the dogs (Lady, Max, and Peanut). Its like missing Halley's comet. Never get the chance again. Ya'll were great!! Thanks for sharing!!

You guys are so blessed to have each other!! Good friends are the best road-trip friends!!

Great video guys! Thank you for taking us with you.

Its cool that you get out of your own state and explore some of your country and see new places and meet new people.

That was cool. Glad you had minimal difficulties delivering the car. Also glad that Dug seems really happy with winning it, Also glad that Matt was the one driving the car when it was pulled over by the police. Also equally happy he didn't get a ticket. Stay safe and healthy to you all.

Great to be able to tag along for the trip to drop it off! Very cool project and giveaway.

Shucks, I sure wish I had won that car! I only live a little ways away from where it was delivered, and it would have been so great to meet all four of you, my favorite KZreadrs! I'm glad the trip went well, and you all made it safely back home! Now I'm anxious to see the next adventure!!

In a worl where you could be like anyone, be like fab rats and Matt's off road recovery. True, honest hard working American people who are just all around genuine people.

I really enjoy the collaboration y'all have with Matt & Jaimee, Chad's Fab, Robby Layton and his crew. The whole Utah gang spreading sunshine, oil & grease, sand and fresh paint, lol. Keep up the great work.

thanks fab rats for keeping me going.. I watched the tow truck build well at my first chemo.. actually watched it twice.. I had 4 and half hrs there.. thanks for the shout out.. that made my yr.. love you both keep doing what your doing.. I will be watching...

Awesome video, brought back fond memories for me of my younger days. At 16 road tripped a 72 Chevelle from Texas to Washington state in 1984, burned a quart of oil every 50 miles but made it. In 86 drive my 71 road runner from Washington state to Illinois in January with no heater, fun times like your trip. Than in 89 I did the big Texas to Alaska in December and January in a square body long bed, had a quad, 8 extra tires and 40 extra gallons of fuel in the bed. Rolled the truck in the middle of the night in the Yukon, got it flipped over and continued on my way to have a axle snap 100 miles from Anchorage. When I left Alaska four years later drove from there to Florida than to Az with my new wife and baby and thankfully that trip was uneventful. Keep up the good work, your videos are always entertaining.

I had a 1965 coronet with a 318 single throat carb and a factory custom interior with bucket seats, floor console, automatic shifter on the floor. I put 300,00 miles on the first motor before changing it, and had around 200,000 miles on it before the car itself just started falling apart. I loved that car and wish I would have kept it. this was from the mid 70's to early 80's.

What a surprise! This made my day, and I want to thank you for inviting me along on your little adventure. Happy Thanksgiving.

He is going to enjoy the car u guys are amazing loved watching you rebuild the cornet and giving it away

I've been watching for a while now. And I just can't wait for the next video. Ya'll are living the Dream. Good people.

Ah, the beautiful Tri-Cities....ugh. I lived there for too many years. Great video and another great build!

Thank you for all the videos This one feels more personal I feel like I'm riding in the car with you With a big smile on my face😁

congrats Doug i do think that car needs a new Motley Crew sticker

I can see that You People had a lot of fun together in delivering that Cornet. Best part was Matt getting pulled over & how He handled that. Almost sounds like the Cop just wanted to get a closer look at the car & used the no tail lights as an excuse.

Not only doing the give away being super awesome, but someone from a place I grew up around won it. Fun fact, my ex-wife (we're still good friends) is from Baker and is related to half that town. There's a lot of history in that area of Oregon. Great job navigating cabbage hill btw, I love driving that stretch.

Congratulations Doug! Glad you guys had a safe trip and thanks for taking us along for ride.

We are fans of Fab Rat from Saudi Arabia One of the best times is to follow your channel and the Matt Off Road channel I wish you much luck and continue in what you are doing🎉🎉

Very cool! Congrats Doug, and congrats to Paul for building something that made it trouble free on its maiden voyage. For me, choosing a pick up is a guarantee it'll rain. I fully expected it to happen to you guys.

I will say Seattle might be the most beautiful and surreal place to fly into because of all three mountains truly beautiful and makes you realize how small you are in a plane flying next to them. Awesome series guys!

You guys are the best.the things that you do for people you have never met.. it's good to see that there are still really good people in this world..

Have driven a truck most of my life , everytime I've ever driven thru some of the most beautiful towns in the US, haven't been down from Canada since COVID, really miss the great people and places.

I love you guys. It is so cool how you have made friends and are sharing the fun, Doug is one lucky guy congrats to him.

Born in Baker City, there is an interpretive center about the Oregon Trail just outside of Baker where you can actually still see ruts from old wagons. Mechum mountain always seems foggy. Loved the trip. Happy Thanksgiving

It’s good to see the four of you have fun together!

I know exactly where that car went to, it was like "I know that place!!" This car will be well taken care of and I hope to see it driving around from time to time when I am in the area. Congrataz Doug!!!!

I do appreciate that this crew doesn't eat and the soulless national chain fast food places, but you guys hit the local places (and plug them!). That's the only way to travel.

I really appreciate you taking us along with you guys on this trip, soooo entertaining!!! Happy you had a safe and fun trip. 😁

You and Matt have a really great thing going on and I super happy for Doug! I'm sending your tee-shirt's as gifts 🎁 this year, you guys Rock!

I'm still smiling. I haven't stopped smiling through the whole video.

OMG y’all were in my area! I’m soo mad! It’s awesome that someone from my area won that car. Congrats Doug! I hope I see it around!

I really like how down to earth all of you are. Don't ever lose that!! Love the vids and keep up the amazing work. PS @MattsOffRoadRecovery, we feel the same about you all over at MOOR.

It can't be safe having you two on the same road trip, thank goodness that you have the gals to keep you on track. You guys did a really nice job on this car and congratulations to Doug. Matt needs to keep his day job, singing may not be the ticket.

Thank you for taking us along

I've never been a Mopar guy but that car is good looking. It has an awesome sound. Love the stripes in the seats, nice looking dash, and slotted mags for the win! Good job you guys. I'm glad you all had a fun and successful trip. Be safe!

Glad to see you guys having fun. Road trips in old cars are fun.

What a trip. You guys know how to show us out here a fun time. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
