Welcome everyone to West Coast Connection Garage! Here, you will find videos on my personal vehicles, project cars, automotive thrashing, and overall random car related content! So please subscribe, and enjoy the ride!
I’ve been doing some work on this beautiful 1950 Ford F1 off camera recently. It’s definitely been interesting working on something this old and unique!
For now I’ve just been helping get a few things sorted out, but I may bring the camera along for some future repairs. 🛠️🎥
Would you guys like to see some videos on this old Ford?
A few years back I picked up this abandoned 1963/64 Chevy Biscayne from a storage yard for just $500.
It was a roller with no engine, but surprisingly solid for its age thanks to spending most of its life out in Western Canada.
I dragged it about 30 feet from its parking spot to my parking spot (on my trailer 😂), listed it for sale… and 24 hours later it was gone for $1,200. 💰
$500 ➡️ $1,200 in one day.
I wish more car flips were this fast and easy, haha.
The one project car that got away... Years ago, while knee-deep in my Buick Riviera project, my brother sent me a link to this real 1970 Chevy Nova SS. It was owned by a former GM plant worker and had been parked since 1989. The seller was asking $2,700 CAD or best offer. I guess they still thought it was 1989... 😂
Anyways, it turned into an insane bidding war, and unfortunately, my offer of $8,000 CAD just wasn’t enough. I probably would’ve kept this one for myself, haha.
Here's another project car throwback! This was my former 1999 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible. I saved this car from the crusher (yes, someone actually scrapped it!). Although it had lived a rough life and required a lot of work to get back on the road, I'm glad I was the one who gave it a second chance. Check out the old Google Maps screenshot of my Camaro parked outside a local bread factory! I eventually sold it locally, and I hope it's still out on the road today.
Yet another project car throwback! This was my 1986 Ford Mustang GT Convertible. I purchased it back in 2020 after it had been sitting for 20 years. It only had approximately 73,000 km, but unfortunately, the 5.0L was locked up and the paint was heavily sun-damaged. Surprisingly, though, the car had almost no rust! After hundreds of hours of engine work, trim work, and some major paint correction, the transformation was incredible! I miss this car and definitely wish I had driven it more when it was in my possession.
Another blast from the past! Here's my former 1975 Dodge Dart "Demon" clone. It was powered by a 318 backed by a 727 automatic transmission. It barely ran, and boy was it ever full of rust and bondo.
And yes, I know the Demon package wasn't even offered in 1975, but it was still a really cool car. I eventually sold it, and I'm happy to say it went on to receive a full frame-off restoration!
Way before I started my YouTube channel, I bought, fixed, and flipped quite a few cars. One of my favorites was this 1969 Buick Riviera! Originally from Texas, this Riviera eventually made its way to Ontario, Canada, where I was lucky enough to get my hands on it. After fixing it up, I sold it, and it was shipped off to its new home in Bavaria, Germany! 🇩🇪

Probably the easiest car flip I’ve ever had 😂

Today I’m attending the annual OBLIVION 80s/90s Obscure Car Show! What better car to drive to the event than my ’95 Camaro Z28? 🤣
Stay tuned for a full video of the event ✨️ 😉
