Must Have Classics

Must Have Classics

Currently, our channel's main focus is the restoration of a 1977 International Scout II from beginning to end. However, we're going to go ahead and highlight some of the other projects we have in the shop as well.

We are a classic "vehicle" restoration shop. We work on just about anything with a carburetor (such as -but not limited to- cars, scooters, and motorcycles). We have also restored some vintage coolers and gas pumps in the past. If you'd like to see our work, check out our Instagram @musthaveclassics.

    I had a 1968 Impala super sport which I could literally get six people in the trunk and sneak them in the drive-in

    As pretty as the square birds are, I have to say I've always coveted the bullet birds. That said, your White over Red is gorgeous, I'd be proud to take that into town as I'm sure you are. Enjoy!

    I have a 1980 Scout II you may be familiar with, my dad was the original owner, I have spent hundreds of hours in the back seat on family road trips, took my driving test in it, drove it in high school, and driving it almost every day now. I told you about my 1969 Camaro SS, its a numbers matching L35 396 BBC, 4 speed close ratio, 3.08 rear end cruiser. My dad was the original owner, he got it when he was 19 years old after his little brother wrecked his TR-3. We have taken many family vacations and easily a couple hundred hours of road trips in my wife's Honda Pilot but as far as I can tell the kids have zero attachment to that, so not sure what made these old cars so special. My son loves the Scout and Camaro but is not interested in learning how to work on them, so who knows what the future may hold for them.

    Nick! Keep up the good work! It isn’t everyday that you see a young man appreciate things of the past. You are so knowledgeable and passionate about your must have classics! My buddy Greg Russell in Panhandle, TX loves what you do. He is old enough to be your father, but he loves his classics! He is restoring a Studebaker Truck right now! I have been sharingyour channel/videos with him! Impressive

    My cousin had one of those when we were growing up in the 1960s. My dad said it looked like the box it came in. The other thing was when you slowed down the light would get dim because it ran off the mag. Dad said it looked like a hot nail! Great memories.

    The Skylark is a great Chevelle alternative, shares a lot of the classic styling for 1/10th the cost.

    You could get a 4 speed from the factory. If you change you should go with a 5 speed. If you use a painless wiring harness you will loose the sequential tail lights. The coolest part of the car.

    I have a farm find 69 Mercury Cougar in very good condition. Complete car with original motor. I rescued it about a year and half ago and it's in my driveway. Contact me if you're interested. I have pictures upon request .

    That is not electronic ignition it is a replacement voltage regulator. You can put the old style cover on it but no need to change it. That car has the original rear bumper that hasn't been poked. Notice that it has a V shape to it. If you send it to be rechromed, it will come back straight and won't fit the car correctly. Are you certain it is not an FMX trans? that would have been stock most likely but it's possible it came with a C6. Nice, no vinyl top standard cougar. It would make a great Eliminator clone.

    I found this site one day and was very interested in it. I worked for Intl Harvester Co for 10 years and then a dealer for them for 44 years. I have looked up many many parts for Scout 80's, 800 A&B's, Scout ll's and Scout Travellers. I was disappointed that the series for the restoration of the 1977 Scout didn't finish. It stopped at EP 10? What happened? I also like that 1960 T'Bird too, having owned 4-5 of them.
