Grandson Restores Papa's Classic Car For 81st Birthday - Inspirational Videos

When Cam’s beloved grandfather’s turned 81, he knew he wanted to do something special for him. Cam’s family had a 1957 Chevy Bel Air that was sitting in his grandparent’s garage. The antique car stopped running in the 70’s, so it was left to rot away. One thing Cam and his grandfather always talked about was getting the car running again, but they never really had the time to do it.

Cam knew restoring this car would be the perfect birthday surprise for his granddad. So for years, Cam saved up money and even sold parts of his own car to buy what he needed to finish the Chevy Bel Air. He still has a little bit more work to get done on it, but by his grandfather’s 81st birthday, he had the car complete enough to be able to surprise his Papa. To put the icing on the cake, he added several upgrades and then got the car custom painted in his grandfather’s favorite color.

In total, the restoration cost over $20,000 but Cam says that it was worth every penny to see the joy on his grandfather’s face when he revealed the surprise. Just watch as Cam gathered the family around in a parking lot to present his Papa with his newly restored car. He had the both of his grandparents blindfolded and when they removed the blindfolds from their eyes, they were so shocked!

Papa was extremely speechless and even got weak in the knees. He steps back as if he is about to faint at the sight of his beautiful fully renovated car! That's when the tears started to flow and no one could contain their emotions. Now he and his grandson are ready to travel in style!
