We RESCUE a really bad 1969 Camaro! [New Project]

hey there welcome back to the channel you saw the thumbnail so you already know that I've lost the very last fiber of whatever mind I've had but we're going to go to uh Williamston South Carolina today and pick up a 1969 Camaro that I bought sight unseen on the marketplace as soon as I get all my crap together oh my gosh that's heavy yeah Brutus is in California so I had to bring Black Betty up here to the Enterprise and get me a pickup truck I have 45 minutes later I got this Dodge I don't know what this means but it's a Dodge so we'll cross our fingers [Music] oh there we go I mean this ain't the easiest thing in the world to maneuver I guess when you get a big round [Music] well all right battery we'll just take all these straps everybody's got that one car you know that one special car they've always sought after always wanted and for us it's a first gen Camaro the 67s are okay but they've got that vent window the 68's got a little better so when they moved the marker lights to the side of the car but the 69s the 69s just have that body line that Speed Line that make them stand out the thing is first gen Camaros people you know they want you to sign over your first child for these things even junk ones are like thousands or tens of thousands and I'm not even going to tell you how much I'm paying for this one because it's a little embarrassing but I saw it on Marketplace and I don't know I just said it's time I need to go get it it's there no reason not to go get it now I have not seen this thing other than the four pictures that Isaac sent me and based on those pictures you know when you zoom in well let's just say there's some imperfections but I haven't seen the interior I haven't seen the trunk I haven't seen I haven't seen it up close I I know virtually nothing all I can hope for is that well you know what it doesn't even matter like if the frame rails are rotted out or whatever there isn't anything for these cars that you can't buy so there's nothing on the car that we can't fix right I am very excited I'm very excited to go get this car I'm very very excited I'm not I don't think it matters what kind of condition it's in I don't think I would be disappointed well I might be disappointed but I'm not sure it's going to stop me from buying it like it would literally have to be you know like the Titanic which it actually doesn't look like it's far off from the Titanic [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you [Music] stop at this little place here here I gotta get some fuel and something to shut down the back of my throat foreign [Music] the mail truck wanted to take me out I guess maybe I shouldn't try to go around the car is supposed to be down here on the left somewhere oh yeah there it is and there's Isaac I do believe that's either getting the car from and he uh agreed to hold on to it for not a dime there's not a lot of people do that nowadays you know nowadays you don't know that's right so tell me about it man what you know what's the story well I I bought it on the other side of Atlanta it really came from uh Waynesboro Georgia and a guy bought it in Snellville Georgia and I went and bought it from the guy

still good and tight okay so we got some weld drag lights up here these are the weld aluminum racing wheels but on the back I think these are actually Cragar super lights and the way I know that is because this one says Kroger I don't even think they make these anymore now this one's got a Cragar cap but it stamped well well now I'm just completely confused are they cragars or are they welds this one is not stamped weld anywhere and this one is not stamped weld anywhere either so I'm guessing cragar's on the rear welds on the front I don't know if you have an idea put that in the comments for me waffle fries why is it the ketchup out of these little things taste so much better than the other packets [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music] we're about 10 miles from the house so I'm almost
