I think I can speak for everyone who watched this video… PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS ON THIS PROPERTY!!

[MeesterSteefy]

I'd really like to see the after of the barn that you're all working in. Seeing it cleaned up would be so satisfying.

[Trenton-omqs]

This property is full of treasures. I would love to see what this barn looks like after it is cleaned out. Keep up the good work👍

Those 1973-77 Monte Carlo's were awesome. Thanks for reviving one of them. Happy New Year 🍾 🎉

I have no idea how I missed this video last year. My first car memories are of my dad's 76 Monte. I eventually want to try and pick one up myself, good to see one running.

Dude that is a honey hole for sure. Any of the revivals would be a good project. Cant wait to see the monte cleaned up i love metallic green.

The importance of Keeping a car indoors under protection is obviously shown clearly in this video easily worked on and still ready with minimal mechanical work needed by which to get it running

Love the content that place is providing. The banter between Kevin, Angus, and Jesse is great. I'm sure that was a rough weekend, but also a great one in it's own way. You guys are awesome.

I loved those Monte's when they we're new and I love'm even more now. I learn something every episode, thanks for that. You've got a treasure trove of cars on that property, many cars that need some JYD love. Keep up the good work, peace.

Worked on many of these. Most folks did not take care of these, just like today. Seen alot of camshafts worn out due to not changing oil or adding oil. If the average person had to do the labor on their cars I would bet they would start taking better care of them.

I freaking love the look of that Monte!! My dad was a Monte freak & he would have picked it up no questions asked, but I literally have nowhere to store it or I'd pick it up just to keep the Monte Lampe family going. Thanks for the great content & keeping me thinking on what I want to do when I get the money

[michaellucht]

Love to see all those old tractors and combine come back to life.

[Floppyfish]

I'm not a huge car guy but this is the only channel that excites me to see an upload. Very excited for this

[urichh]

I’ve never binge watched a channel as hard as I have been the past few days. Love the videos. I would love to do this myself but I’m broke lol

[shadetreejoe]

I've got to say I love the fact you guys are pulling all these beauties out and doing what you can to get them running again. Back before YouTube was a thing, my wife's uncle bought a house in Phoenix, AZ that had been abandoned. In the detached garage, literally under three feet of garbage, he found a 1977 Camaro Type LT. The home seller forgot it was there, but had a title for the car. I gave $200 and towed it home. A carburetor, some new plugs, a fresh battery, fresh gas, and an oil change made it a daily driver while I was in college.

The car was an Arizona car, so no rust, but the paint and interior were sun baked. I ended up installing fresh carpet and some swap meet bucket seats from a GMC Cyclone and had a great little car. In three years, it only let me down once when the coil on the HEI gave out. In the end, I sold the car for $1500 after I finished school, because I didn't need it. Now that same car, in the condition it was in would bring $6000-$7500. What a difference 24 years can make.

This is what I was waiting for!! I been wanting to see this Monte get revived since I saw it in the backround of the first orange and white truck revival. I thought that car was blue but I really like the way that green looks and I can't wait to see it at least washed up to see if it still has some shine left in it. Pretty cool burnout even though the car isn't running as it should.

[Brianfightingmad]

When the legal process is done that's gonna be one hell of a garage sale!
That Monte Carlo is my favorite so far.
That thing is in nice condition.

[ronaldtillinghast]

Being in my 50s i remember all them cars back in the days im glad most of them are gonna be saved from uncertainty thats when they made cars big and comfortable good old v8 power i like them all always have always will great job guys love the videos always 👍🇺🇲

[cadman]

I have really enjoyed this series of revivals so far. I hope when you do more of these cars, you do them the same way by using what you can find in the barn.

Awesome content. My sister owned a gold/bronze colored 73 Monte Carlo. A two door land yacht weighed a few tons, but on snow would move an inch.. It had those swivel front bucket seats.
