Like a lot of you guys, my YouTube "suggested videos" feed is almost completely car stuff and (with a few cat videos here and there :D ). Uncle Tony's videos kept popping up and it took a while for me to getting around to taking a look. I'm really glad that I did! This guy is great...it seems to e that he's almost the classic/muscle car version of the famous Scotty Kilmer (who focuses on modern stuff and loves Toyotas). Like Scotty, Tony was a professional mechanic who just loves cars for their own sake. That love comes through loud and clear and I think it will resonate with a lot of you guys.

A lot of Tony's videos are just advice and wisdom for life as a gear head, how to get by with limited budget, etc. A lot of what he says is common sense but he has a philosophical way of stating it that is really pretty cool. He is one of those guys who doesn't have an advanced college degree yet he just has effortless wisdom and self-taught knowledge. I can't help but have huge respect for that.

It doesn't hurt that his favored cars are Mopars. He has at least 2 Darts, a Roadrunner and an early Charger.

 
I'm glad you posted a out Tony. Your words are more articulate than mine.
I started watching his videos only just recently.
I like him. Straight up and to the point. Dosen't seem to sugarcoat anything. ( I get enough of that kind of b.s. at work )
He is the kind of guy most any car guy would like to have as an "uncle".
I will continue watching his vids.

“Things I learned the hard way” had me rolling!
:rofl:
 
What Tony is whitepunk that’s awesome. Tony one of first guys bought used parts from years ago. I watched a video somebody posted about Tony checking out a rebadged duster was great.
 
I have met Tony in person and bought some parts from him both from picking them up and in the mail... He's a great guy to deal with and knows alot...
 
I watch also. Good to know he’s on the forum too.
No sugarcoating. I like that.
He educates in his own way.
I can imagine him sharing his knowledge in person. “You’re doing it wrong” comes to mind,and showing an easier way to get the desired result. A hands on type of guy.
 
Uncle Tony has a no BS straight forward approach to things. I Love the video of his early Charger burnouts! He beats the **** out of that thing and she just keeps on burning! 65'

I’m addicted to podcasts. From football to some Joe Rogan, war history. Listen all day at work.

Me too I always listen to music at work and in the car well a couple weeks ago I got bored with the same old music and wanted something different. I had watched a couple of Joe Rogans podcast on YouTube so I figured I'd give it a try and listen to them. I'm hooked that's all iv literally listened to for the last 3 weeks .
 
I have been buying parts from Tony and his Wife Kathy (agent99) for years, and he always has been more than fair on prices and shipped quickly.
Kathy does his packing and shipping, which has always been well done.
He is a true Mopar guy, but as already mentioned loves cars in general.
When I first saw his video's I wasn't all that impressed (sorry Tony:D) but after seeing a few of them I gained more of an appreciation for his style of relaying the information he has picked up over the years.
Now I watch all of them and find myself wishing he had a better location, because I can totally relate about doing **** in gravel.:D

Thanks Tony and Kathy.

BTW, Rani mentioned him and his video's awhile back.
 
Been watching his videos too, awesome that he is actually whitepunk!

The video where he throws the edelbrock carb had me rolling.
As stated, def comes across as the cool uncle type, a little uncouth, but flat out has all the answers
 
Great guy that Tony. Maybe pretty smart too , did not he move from somewhere up North to Tennessee!!????
I just need a better speaker for my puter and a better puter chair!
 
Good guy! Bought a few parts from him over the years, and chat online from time to time. You guys need to go re-read some old Mopar mags if you don't know who Tony DeFeo is! I once called him the Bukowski of the automotive/Mopar world.
I love the videos!!
Real cool to see the way they are taking off for him! I hope he keeps cranking them out for years to come!
