now that the beautiful and rare 1967 hemi gtx convertible is completely restored it's being loaded onto the trailer to be delivered to its owner in las vegas the owner brett torino flew in for the reveal and was blown away by the ghoul's attention to detail but just when the ghouls thought they might be finished there's another car ready to be delivered take it away mark our 1972 dodge charger sc 400 magnum four speed one of only 126 ever built is near completion once dave and alissa install the interior all that'll be left is an electrical systems check a complete detail and we can have the owner down for his initial inspection and road test on this episode of graveyard cars alyssa applies everything she's learned over the last 13 weeks when it's up to her to install the interior in the 1972 gold charger the ghouls wrestle with how far they can prep the car knowing that the owner wants to be the first person to drive it meanwhile while attempting to disassemble a 1971 cuda convertible mark and royal run into problem after problem and in the middle of the heat brett torino sends mark and the gang an unexpected surprise coming up on this episode of graveyard cars it has been established are coming back to life i'm mark warman and together we bring dead muscle cars back to life to exactly the way they were on the day they were born is uh we're working on our 1972 dodge charger uh sc 400 magnum four-speed one of 126 built which is really cool we got our dash in from instrument specialties and it's amazing so that's basically what uh we're gonna install today i have not worked on dashes before this is my first time so i'm pretty excited i think this is the last piece of the interior that i need to learn done is this so pretty standard for a dash or yeah it's a pretty standard dash uh for 72 dodge charger sc and pretty one too i like all the chrome oh yeah it's pretty awesome all right now i'm going to walk through as far as the door opens yeah that's it these doors are huge you just keep walking in sure okay how you doing okay doing good now i want to kind of tip this towards you okay you can go ahead and get in there i'm going to try to hook these up this is the complicated part i gotta get this cable on there do all dashes install the same yeah basically all these mopars install the same for the most part it's all just like it's showing there the cables for the defroster so let me move this down so right now i'm just kind of getting all the oh take your time just came in this morning went to head to the booth to get some parts and pieces painted and there's a motor sitting in there looks like it's ready to be sprayed i like mark to really sign off on these motors so i need to get him out here just look this motor over and make sure it's actually ready to paint marcus looking all over for you i've been right here putting engines together there's a motor sitting in the paint booth that you've painted already it's an engine but yes whatever go ahead um is it ready to go your green light go to paint it yeah thank you do you want to know what color you're gonna paint it i know oh you do what color are you gonna paint orange mike can you get walter chrysler on the phone i got him right here all right i don't think there's such thing as a short answer with mark everything seems to go on and on forever you think i would have learned this by now but i thought i would be safe with the motor i wasn't i just know that you should be able to walk into that booth and based on the alphanumeric codes stamped onto it you've been here long enough now that you wouldn't need to know what car it's for it's an e440 what color does it go orange mike all e440s go orange uh 69 um how do you know 69 is an e code well because that's because i know that f is a 70. uh-huh so one year before that would be 69. what if it wasn't an hp 440. it doesn't matter still get the same well they wouldn't paint it turquoise a low performance 440. starting in 1965 chrysler would stamp the information pad with an alpha letter a representing 1965. it would have a b for 66 a c for 67 a d for 68 and so on up till the time it trailed off somewhere in the mid to late 70s if this was a low performance 1971 383 it would get blue the corporate blue they called it same thing in 70. all right go over here to this little stamp see that stamp right there what's it say h and next to it p what do you reckon that stands for high performance high performance high performance all right two hours later i now have the answer it does go orange so i'm gonna head in the booth and start spraying it with the owner only days away alyssa is tasked with installing the 1972 chargers interior i'm done wow it was way easier with the adjustable that was fast it took you like what five minutes to do that yeah it wasn't bad the trick is getting the side in that isn't adjustable the tracks in and then makes it really easy this is cool yeah you have a lot of room yeah big awesome nice job beautiful good job so what else do you need help with to get this finished up right now you can put in your kick panels and put in your sill plates and that'll kind of button up the entire floor the only problem is those kick panels one of them is really sun baked so we're going to try to do a little process try a new process actually with the walnut shells because we have a new blaster with walnut shells in there so we're going to try to fix up that plastic and make it like new the most desirable muscle car made by mopar of all time would have to be the 71 hemi cuda convertible making only 11 of them they sell for millions of dollars this 1971 kuda convertible has a 340 and a three-speed manual transmission making it one of only eight ever built the disassembly of this rare valuable and desirable muscle car begins now [Music] we got the windshield and the reveal moldings off but what a the problem is people back in the day especially car leaks it can't be anything with the windshield it can't be the cow pivots it can't be the dash it can't be the cowl itself can't be the fact that left the top down in the rain it's got to be that windshield so they just start doping it up with more and more sealer so you have inches and mountains of sealer then they glue the reveal moldings in because they busted half the clips taking them out and they go well the man that owns this doesn't even know about that one we just put a little urethane in there and pat it back down and it is until 40 years later when the fat man the bald guy and my best friend mike start taking this car apart that we realize it's been glued together i'm done with my rant we're ready to drop the dash down out of it that's a good thing sorry about the bald thing i lashed out because i was mad over this but i but i used it before i got to you and that's fine that's self-control see that's self-control so with them getting the dash out of it here in a couple of minutes we're gonna be able to uh move on to the rest of the disassembly it should go a lot faster from here that just that windshield really slowed us down [Applause] all right so we got our motor here for the general lee it is all going completely hemi orange so it's all ready to go that was good information that mark gave us with the little numbers that are up there all in all that's still a couple hours worth of talking to him before i got the actual color for this but i got it motor's in here everything's good to go so i can go ahead and get the dp90 on this and then starting to hitting it with a single stage [Music] but there's not much left so i think you would check my cabinet but there's a very solid chance we're out of single stage that means i have to order more oh poop uh we realized i didn't have any color so well that's it i had to order that so we're kind of a standstill it's in dp90 so that's fine all right i got some scotch brite all right yeah how's it looking i think it's looking good all right things pretty cool huh yeah it's fun too oh wow that looks a lot better oh yeah that looks really cool well let's kind of see what the scotch brite does and you don't have to push really hard just kind of run it over there but you see how we still got all the grain from the plastic in there you know we were talking about the fact that the car is a stripper they didn't even care about having the electric windshield washer so that's what this is so instead of having the uh button on the dash that you would push for the windshield washers like in the b body or in the e-body in this particular case you would have a foot pump you would physically pump that to get the fluid up onto the windshield it didn't have any effort at all on the three speed even to make it cool like why couldn't they build a pistol grip three speed but that's what it is it's just a straight chrome shaft with a ball on the end of it the bezel is the exact same one that you would have if you have a pistol grip four speed but the boot itself is different because this has a round hole in it and the pistol grip is that oblong center hole in it but yeah just some kind of interesting little little tidbits there that that make this car so unique and and yet in some ways very undesirable but now that it's 45 50 years later it's all cool it's all cool yeah it's all the kind of stuff because if we saw stuff like that as a kid we said i'll pass on that it's got a three speed and you got to pump the foot to to get washer fluid up on the windshield but now looking back it's kind of a cool part of history so i'd like to point out is how nice it is to work on a small block look at the room in there remember the last one we put in the 440 every square inch in the way in just everything's tight you got to rock it and walk it just like a piece of cake look at that big old big old cavity in there just swallowing up that 340. just like your first girlfriend for a different driver there's not a thing in the interrupt people punk fat old guy oh i'm fat what about you muffin belly look at you hey along with age comes wisdom you got better breaths than my wife man back off i've seen that look before back off they turned out great it got all the old plastic off and it underneath was great black new plastic so looks like we're gonna be able to save the piece yeah yeah it worked great so all we got to do is get those a-pillar moldings in windshield surround then we'll work down to our kick panels the kick panel went in really well the seal plate i had a little bit of trouble with lining up the holes and yeah getting the carpet underneath it i think at one point i got i thought i had gotten four screws in and then i lifted it up and the whole thing came undone did it just pop right up and i realized i didn't get any of those in so i had to start over so something so simple can take like half hour 45 minutes just to get a few screws in it could be kind of frustrating sometimes it is frustrating these cars will fight you every step of the way all right so what do you see we knock out our visors that sounds good and then we're yeah we're just about there are these the original yeah these are the original ones he wanted to use uh you know as many of the original parts as he could okay now this deal the little spring will actually go up through the big hole right here yep oh there we go you can kind of see yeah horns just a little safer all right cool so i got mine in there and whoop look at that that much closer to driving it too which is always nice so awesome uh the the interior's pretty much put in which is great so the next steps is just a couple little things here and there and then the windshield and the windshield will go fast all we got around that is just some stainless steel molding and then it's got to put the wiper arms on oh wow so it's really close with the interior installed this 1972 charger is nearly ready for the owner's arrival and its first test drive ouch all right everything everything's just been a complete painting on this car and it's because take some cars apart they've never been touched you're better off with a car that's never been touched than one that's been touched from the standpoint of disassembly because every bolt has been stripped and lost and changed out for the wrong bolt we've took out lag bolts out of here wood screws out of here it just takes forever to do that something that's normally a half a day job takes all day long and that's that's what we're struggling with right now you can see lots of body work's been done on this car i'll do you a little magic right here you guys ready for some magic we're going to de-bondo this thing that's where somebody just fills it up with bondo and fiberglass and says wow look at that isn't that pretty this folks is what they bundled over that's how you can tell somebody's been there i'd rather walk up to a car and just see the hole and know i'm buying a car with a hole in it than something like that [Music] so once the torsion bars are disconnected like this really it's just a matter of lowering it down out of the cavity same way we put it back in when we do the reverse all right you're clear that is such a giant piece of everything it is so really all we've got left uh we got to take a couple of the rear moldings off around the convertible top and take the taillights out of it and then it's ready to go over and get dipped so we'll be anxious to see what it looks like when it gets back but it's pretty close to ready good job [Music] now that the 1971 cuda convertible has been dissected mark gathers all hands on deck to help him unload the trailer after mike delivered the hemi gtx brett torino donated a trailer full of rare and valuable parts to mark in the ghouls i want to count and inventory every component i want to put a mental note as to what it is where it is what condition it's in once that's done they're going to load everything up into the pod up there that's what they're building shelves for now that way it can be under lock and key and away from everybody the only time a part will come out of there is with my authorization and my key to the lock the guys are doing good so is that that's all that's left is that part right up there okay so are you gonna go through these yourself i'm going to go through every one of these myself get my head on it decide what it's worth if it's worth something there's a ton of parts here i'm here to make sure that they get inventoried the right way to make sure everything's accounted for and that they get put in the storage units the right way so stuff right there there's a lot of valuable stuff i don't really know a whole lot about them but as i get to go through them with my dad i'm i am learning so it's a great experience to be able to go through holy cow that is a gift that he said was coming he said he had some original parts books god that's the difference between his books and my books yeah they look original when he well no thank you for playing well i mean they just look old like well might look old too but my can i finish myself you're you're a sentence finisher aren't you you're a sentence sure yeah these are in almost mint condition mine have been rolled over and set at the bottom of a manure pile for 20 years this is a nice original i don't know what year until i open it but i'm going to guess 66 67 66 yeah this is a complete original parts manual for the 1966 passenger cars dodge passenger cars but look at all the tabs if you look at mine my tabs are all ripped off and not off and chewed off and burned this thing has everything nicely tabbed and categorized so this is really exciting for me it may not mean much to you because you don't know what they all are but for me this is a treasure trove of really valuable parts i mean this is this is cool if i went to a swap meet and saw this stuff i'd go home broke i'd have to have it all so i'm going to let them finish taking everything out because i'm literally on a lot of this stuff i'm going to want to unwrap it before we put it into storage i need to put my eye on it one guy's version of mint condition or mink sandy would say and another guys is different so i want to make sure what condition the parts are in what ones i need now for the cars that we actually have here and and then we'll we'll reconvene back out here so you're going to continue helping him unload yep okay so radiator supply house just got here and they're getting ready to do the stencil work on top of this radiator so the owner wanted the top of his radiator painted at least to say one of 126. so at least when he's at car shows he can open up the hood and people will know that hey it's still kind of a rare car it's kind of cool with what they did on the radiator because he's kind of done little touches to it to make it his own so we don't do a lot of that here but on this car we did so it's a little unique in that aspect meanwhile outside the shop mark and alyssa continue to toil over the inventory for torino's donation we've been out here now for seven hours seven hours checking in parts and uh we're getting the we're getting it whittled down uh the main stuff we've got glass left and some of the bigger sheet metal and some wheels but all the little stuff the stuff that takes so long to label and print and mark which is what i'm doing so we have a quality inventory of everything that's what takes so long uh i've gone through i think 100 and some tags already so what she does is she checks it what's it say it is tag 183 is for a complete nos grill for a 1970 barracuda okay mark it off but note that the left hand front park lamp is missing missing one park lamp what number is it 183 183 so i've got it over here this one's all one unit this is all part of an nos 1970 cuda grill this stuff's gold at this point i feel like i have been at auction all day or i've just been hearing numbers being yelled at me and my job is to basically check them so they're not in order though so i have about eight pages of numbers that aren't in any order that every time i hear one i just have to go through and find it so anyways i'm ready for this to be done i feel like we're never going to be finished i look back and i just feel like there has been little progress made yet we've been sitting here for hours so we've we've unloaded so much stuff a lot a lot of nos stuff good quality used stuff that definitely is going to help a lot of cars get back on the road again the good news is we're we're really winding down quickly here we're going to try to wrap this up yet today if we don't we'll have to knock it out first thing in the morning but we're getting really really close before the 1972 chargers first test drive royal makes preparations to do the alignment what's the first step in this process royal i mean i know hang these sensors on and when we do since those are after-market billet wheels we can clamp i think we can clamp to the outside okay we can turn these over and clamp to the outside either we don't have to worry about scratching them right yeah all right now what's the trick uh with doing these older mopars as opposed to the new cars the older cars have a caster adjustment a camber adjustment and a towing adjustment for your newer cars a lot of them only have a tow adjustment some of them only have a camber and tow adjustment oh wow so royal after we get these sensors uh mounted on the wheels what's the the next step of the process we'll look up the specs and then uh the computer will have us do a caster sweep oh gotcha so that's just kind of checking where the car is at yeah start giving it a starting point yes the alignment came out fine um really the test will be when the customer drives it he doesn't want us to take it out of the lot till he gets here so we're gonna have to wait for the real test i'll be able to drive around the lot and get kind of a feel for it make sure the steering wheel's straight at least the 72 charger's alignment is complete and coincidentally mark and alyssa are finally ready to wrap up the inventory on torino's donation it's a huge relief to finally have this done and have the parts up there i mean it took us over a day to get them all inventoried when you're inventorying in that many parts that many pieces some of them very small most of them or a majority of them new old stock super valuable it just takes time and that's what we experienced you know putting everything away is you got to check it see what they called it make sure it's what they called it make sure it's a new old stock and not just a used one there were quite a few mistakes like that make sure the parts there or it's not there it's damaged or it's not damaged there's just a lot goes into it and like i say when you have a trailer that came back full apart it's a big job uh we powered through it we got it done uh the guys are just getting ready to upload a couple of pieces and that's gonna be it for the end of that these are ready to be lifted up and go in okay and you've counted for all those the 603 and the 605s yeah this stuff here i just want to put aside for right now it can be lifted up and put in the bin and just kept in a corner this is the no value stuff but in case brett wants some of it back for something uh i've got my stuff over there that's going to go up into the assembly room because we actually have parts in there right now that we're needing for cars that we're working on like the phantom cuda needs to buy plymouth which is impossible to find and then i'll paddle lock that door come down and nobody gets in there except me with the key are you actually going to go up on the ladder and padlock it uh yes oh yeah that's going to be the best part to see my dad actually crawl up the ladder and lock the door you don't like heights you don't like water you really don't you don't like anything but heist is definitely one of the top okay i like the ground i like the ground i'm not a fan of water i'm not a fan of flying i've never done it i'm not a fan of heights but at the same time i do what i have to do that's what i do right oh god i'm scared for you [Music] how you doing i wish i had my phone yeah have a good picture of this oh whoa whoa it's right there daddy's short short legs no problem is there a problem you did great good job with a massive parts donation inventoried and the 72 charger aligned the car is ready for a systems check the guys finished doing alignment i saw you and royal were working on that yep we're going to do a basic systems check the owner of the car murray does not want me to drive the car without him for the first time he wants to be in the uh driver's seat for its maiden voyage i understand that so we're not going out on the road we're just going to kind of buzz it around the parking lot yep make sure the brakes the steering if something's going to happen galactic it's always great if they happen in the parking lot versus out on the roads exactly inside check yeah fire it up blows yep shifter feels good it doesn't feel bad that's a brewers rebuild there yeah reverse is nice first power steering feels good yeah it feels pretty good just watch your break yeah see what i mean so far everything's going real well on our 72 charger seems to be driving around well uh steering feels good uh for the most part all the systems are working too the only thing i'm noticing is that when i go to apply the brakes that they are harder to push than the typical power brake booster setups that i've driven on the mopars now that ranges too a little bit just so you know the the bendix style 70 in back actually has more assist it feels like than the 71 on up midland ross it just seems like the brakes just don't have that power assist like they should they're working properly but you just got to apply too much foot pressure so we're thinking it might be a brake booster so car brake booster is a big vacuum can until you hit the brake to energize it it doesn't use that vacuum but then when it's ready for it it gives you that assist right now we're not getting that assist it feels like you're driving the car not with manual brakes which aren't too hard to push but power brakes that aren't working that's what it acts like we're going to just take this this is a vacuum gauge this is going to show us our inches of vacuum as this goes up so this has fuel pressure on one side and it has vacuum on the other i will hook this to this port just kind of just a little adapter setup and if you want to hold that right there and i'll be back i'm going to start the vehicle do not defecate yourself it's a vehicle starting nobody wants to see a defecation i wanted to do something so bad defecation devotion turning on the night lie anyway and after all the violence and double talk that's a song i don't think it's defecation though shouldn't be you hear that bumpity bump back there that that's a big cam yeah there you go this gauge is supposed to be all the way down here in the green all right the only way to probably get it there is to open the throttle that's the problem we've got too big a cam too long of a duration so we're not creating the vacuum that we would get up here that thing's only getting seven inches of vacuum it needs 14 15 16 in that range to be able to function properly okay so the only way i can achieve that kind of pressure without scattering the engine is the natural process that happens when an engine is revved up to 3000 rpm and you close the butterflies on that so i'm open like this and i close it when i close it it's like choking somebody out you ever choke anybody out oh yeah yeah it's like choking somebody out and so that vacuum goes off the charts for a second until it catches up and back well you can't drive that way you're meant to drive the car like a normal person would drive the car so when he's in an idol he doesn't even have enough to to even make these work hardly so he's basically driving without power brakes he's driving with a semi power about 50 is what i think in fact if you didn't even know if you didn't know your mopars you probably wouldn't even know there's a problem with that i just know that that 71 to 74 style midland power brake booster it really is designed to have a lot of assist to it so i think what we need to do is call him and say what do you want me to do you want to be a little nancy and tap out and take that nice snarler cam out of there or do you want to man up start doing some leg exercises now and drive the car is that actually how you're going to ask him no if i just tell him how it's going to be to be honest he seems a little laundry i don't know i know i think he thinks he's a tough guy but you know up in canada they think they are until they scrap with a with a springfielder you think this is a game music that's a game old man arm that ain't an old look i said that a little going down here got some weird eggs skin's wrinkly oh my god yep that's it for her she'll be off to a psychiatrist now we're done now that the paint has arrived will is able to spray the iconic general lee's high performance engine the engines used in the general leave varied from show to show 318s 383s and 440s were all used depending on the requirements of the scene with the exception of the dukes of hazard motion picture a 426 hemi was never used however once in the tv series a 511 hemi was employed which is a package mod added to the 426. [Music] motor's all painted it looks great with the engine finished will rejoins the ghouls to do the final polish on the 72 charger before its big reveal this is the first time i've ever had a client say nobody drives that car but me for the first time after that you have a ball it's his car he's the customer i kept his wishes but you know anything can happen a multitude of things can happen when you have that many moving parts on a car that's just been back together for the first time in in many many years dave always jumps on the inside does all the interior i jump on the outside tires wheel glass this car has a lot of stainless on it get the fingerprints off of dave has to go through wipe down the whole inside of the car do all the glass on the inside so it's kind of a team effort for us to get this car done but that's how we've done them in the past they always come out great inside and out the car is literally perfect i think the owner is going to come in be super excited to have it and go on this road trip so we're ready to go murray gooding's called he's just down around the corner so i'm gonna go up front wait for him make sure that the car is on the side and warmed up and ready to go my name is murray goodings and i got a 1972 dodge charger here at graveyard cars my dad bought a 71 charger when i was a little guy and uh through a divorce and everything else that car went missing and this car i grew up in so i always wanted one i spotted this one on a highway where near where i live and got a hold of them made a deal bought the car that night and took it home so that was about 10 years ago how was the trip down from i drove for a canada hours and i gave him the keys and i went just like did you real nice you look good thanks good good shape huh everything's going good right the chemo diet so i'm still good that's all right you look good yeah good good job man i was diagnosed with cancer approximately two years ago and went through all the treatment and everything and they cured it all and my only loss is one vocal cord so i can still live life as i love to and it's all good so you've been thinking about a little bit getting kind of excited oh it's like day to day is crazy i think you're going to like it and i think it's going to be really really well worth waiting okay i want everybody to go out front i'm going to go around get the car [Music] to see it actually on wheels and rolling and moving under its own power is going to be very very exciting all right you excited to see your car oh yeah let's do it you excited mark's got it around the corner here so right now the guys are all waiting out front for it so i'm pulled over here waiting for the cue uh kind of a little behind the scenes thing there for you three a little bone so we're ready for you buddy yeah yeah go ahead sounds like the dog's ready over there anyway as they as they kind of wait out there you know it's kind of like the the father i guess waiting for his bride to walk down the the aisleways pretty proud moment for him uh i i don't i don't think any of this stuff lightly you know what i'm saying this is one of those things waiting for you up here because if you didn't are you doing that thing you know the camera's on you so you're being silly and so anyway what i'm saying is if you look at the whole total of it my job you know he came down a long ways and i got him out front here waiting it's 100 degrees outside not trying to stand up in front of everybody anyway yeah so let's ruin this moment oh man listen to that thing sounds like a honda yeah you wish [Music] boy done that good good that looks well it doesn't look amazing outside [Music] that's amazing buddy that is freaking awesome you know i think i've only seen it outside once that's actually really pretty that is a gorgeous color that is a gorgeous buddy that's awesome when people are almost speechless that's generally the best sign yeah it means they like it most definitely i mean outside inside it gave it no justice at all exactly before you get that paint out in the sunlight boy it really it's almost like a different car when you get it out in the sunlight you have the chrome shining you have the glitter and the gold paint sticking out that you can't really even see in the shop so it looks like a totally different car pulling around the front it looks beautiful did you see what we had done for you that looks really really cool i bet your dad is uh very happy with this car right now i'm sure he's watching he was loving the he had a 71 right yeah he had a 71 se with a 440 automatic and that thing smoked camaros and everything else that came up against him i don't doubt it i don't doubt it a bit what concerns me is he wouldn't let me drive the car ahead of time so we're going on an initial maiden voyage in this car and it just hasn't been on the road that's not made up we have not driven this car we have not driven car he would not allow me to drive the car yeah have a seat there what do you think of that shift handle that's gorgeous isn't that pretty i had a pistol grip shifter hand carved out of a piece of hardwood burl which is a cancer that grows in trees in the northwest which adds to you know my dad being a faller and so i thought it'd be cool to have the pistol grip carved out of real wood and shipped that to the woodworker and he made me a set of just beautiful grips for my pistol grip so two little tributes in the car for my dad so and as per your instruction we have not been on a road test so the initial road test needs to be done by you and i sincerely uh wish you the best all right hope it all works out for you that'll all be good normally i road test them that way when the wheels fly off at 60 miles an hour you know i'm the guy that looks bad but that's okay i've seen some of the stuff you've done you can fix anything that goes i can fix anything that goes wrong it was nerve-racking but it was awesome car drove smooth straight it was just super easy you didn't have to fight it nothing and just straight line change lanes real nice really nice acceleration a little bit on the timing but that's okay it wants to go i don't want oh
