Exploring an Epic AMC Barn Find Collection!

Best part of the video was Marty saying “I’m really grateful I get to work on cars with my dad“ and he said it a couple of times. You know he meant it.

Marty is just the very best addition to this channel,everyone needs a mate like that ,much love respect from Australia Marty,by the way we had a Rambler Hornet ,didnt really kick on that well so you could buy them really cheap ,my dad used to rip out that straight six and fit a windsor v8 ,cool car

So Marty is a good friend of mine. Hands down the most honest and approachable person. He loves all marques: and is a student of all. He does however have a proclivity for some off the beaten path cars. Quality man. Simply put.

Wow!! I am curious if Ralph and my dad went to school together!! I am reaching out to my dad now, because I was born in Flemington, grew up on Flemington Speedway, and I have a really cool story about the Dealership that Ralph bought his Scrambler new at, on route 31. My father (just like Ralph had to) went to the AMC dealership in Flemington and purchased a brand new Javlin. I know it was yellow. Long story short, there were multiple issues with the car, and my Grandmother would go with him to the Dealership to try and correct the problems. The dealer gave them a hard time with it. My grandfather was bedridden with cancer by this time, and had a phone installed next to his bed (😂that was a big deal back in the '60's!) Needless to say that he blew his top when they told him that the dealer wouldn't do anything to correct the problems. As was told to me by both my Grandma and Dad, " after several curse words, he picked up the phone, dialed a number. Then we heard him say, "George. It's Brownie. I told you they weren't going to do anything about that piece of $&×t!!! Alright. Thanks. They are on their way over there now. Alright. " and he hung up the phone. ". Then; " Mary! Take Michael back to the Dealership with the car." Gram started to protest, and he shouted, " Go back to the @#$%%&*@ Dealership, they are giving you another car." As they pulled into the Dealership, EVERYONE was walking out to them, including the owner. "We're so sorry about the confusion. Please, pick any vehicle, anything you want. Let me know which one you want. " Of course my grandmother being the most honest person on the planet, absolutely refuses to "upgrade" on their dime, and finally found an Ambassador that was 3 cents more than the Javlin. And she INSISTED that they take the 3 cents 😂😂😂. Then the manager said to Grandma, " I can't understand why you didn't want to take the top of the line, we were told to give you whatever you want. By the way, how do you happen to know George Romney??" Apparently my grandfather was friends with him. Small world 🌎.

It's very refreshing to watch a classic car video where people like Parker and Marty take time to explain stuff and they are very knowledgeable and they just present everything very well. I hope they continue to do videos. The classic car world needs gentleman like these two

Thanks for showing some old AMC's. I just turned 60, my 1st car was a '74 Javelin. I really enjoy that you appreciate all of the cars. Not just the ones that were unattainable to mere mortals.

Back in ‘77, I needed a winter car and bought a 69 Rambler American for $100 bucks. It was previously as old New England Telephone service car with 100k miles. Radio delete 199 six with the 3spd on the column. Thing was practically indestructible. I got two winters out of it, and sold it still running for the same $100 I paid. 😂

Great video and very cool Marty is willing to share his knowledge of the AMC’s. What a huge collection of cars for you guys to look at.

This access to an owner is unprecedented. There’s is several AMC’s there that are worthy of restoring or modifying. Wish I had the funds to buy a few of these.

Love your channel, love the AMC information, nice work, thank you, keep them coming

Great video,thanks Parker,Marty and Ralph

Very cool, love the challenger. Nice to see Marty again.

I worked in the service dept of AMC-JEEP dealer back in the 70's and i never knew half this stuff! Thanks!

These videos are awesome! I hope these cars get to go on the road again sometime. Shame to let all of those go to waste. This video taught me a lot.

Another awesome episode Parker, Marty is very knowledgeable much like yourself, great addition to your videos. I personally think you have the best muscle car show on YouTube.

In 1968 you could get a regular Javelin with a 4 speed and a 390 ci. in. In 1969 and 1970 you had to get the SST Javelin or the Mark Donohue Edition in order to get a 390 ci. in.

Wealth of intell, Well done Parker!

Great knowledge Marty could listen to him all day with his love of those amc’s

Nice collection.Hope they get restored.AMC was always different but cool

Had a 68 javlen 232 6 cylinder 3 speed. Loved it. Also had a gremlin yuk. I know a guy who has a red white an blue scrambler. He,s had it from new. He had a shop in NJ. Build the engine. Fast as hell. !!! AMC had a big bad. Blue green. An other. 😊😊
