It’s a feeling like no other to work on cars with amazing stories! This has been our roughest rescue to date!

Pontiac guy here. Thanks for getting this bird back on the road and keeping it Pontiac. Had a 68 Firebird 350 in the 90s, miss it often.

Ernie is one of those guys thats hard to tell when hes excited. He would win the lottery and say "neat!" And barely change expression on his face. I genuinely think he was super happy to drive the car again however. 🇺🇸

Loved this format, no nonsense, no BS watch with the family content. Thanks Hagerty. Thanks Brito & Dustin.

Incredible how you got it running again after sitting since 1984 💪

Almost didn't watch this but I'm glad I did watch it now. Had expected the usual YouTube formula of stuffing a brand new crate engine in with a long list of sponsored parts to make 1000hp. This couldn't be further from that process. Very impressed 👍

I like the concept here. Not everything needs to be a restoration. Get them to start, drive and stop and leave it at that. Even in this condition, the car is fun to drive. Also, it’s earned a right to enjoy some dignity in its old age.

Everybody always talk about 67-69 Camaro but forgot that firebird also exist. Glad you didn't forget

"The clutch is not great; but at least it doesn't chatter..."... I believe this is called victory. Excellent content. Well done!
