Join in with car collector & builder Darron Cheney, as we travel across America looking for the lost & abandoned classics that paved the Automotive Industry that we know and love today.
What dumb ass takes a car thats been sitting for 30 years and try to roll it over with the starter? Apparently these two are the answer. Always pull the plugs pump in some blaster or other lube, change the oil, pull off the valve covers etc. Before ever trying to roll it.
The lowlife just had to get the widow in her distress for a grand, and he even tried to get her for more than that! It's not up to her for you to "break even" after the car is restored and sold..
Its a nice car... once you put at least 50k in it. This is a piece of junk.-Paint, chrome, interior completely gutted, motor rebuilt, new gas tank, brake lines, gas lines, shocks, all weather stripping,and thats just the things off the top of my head.
I just bought a 69 Corvette barn find. Paid the guy $2500.00 for it. It's a 350/350 with a m21 transmission. It had been sitting for the last forty years.
@@darroncheney637 Is it still in the works? It's been awhile since the last video. I saw a C2 Vette when I was a youngster, and I've been obsessed with them ever since. I've been to the factory tour in Bowling Green, and the National Corvette Museum. 👍
Yes it’s still in the works .. my guy that videos wife had a baby so it’s put us behind a little.. I’ve completely rebuilt the engine it had a bad timing chain gear,, the body is ready for paint and having the frame powder coated soon.. thanks for watching
He doesn't realize? He's probably been wrenching since before you were a gleam in his eye. Let him put an LS in his OWN car...swapping the engine will devalue the car.
WOW! Just stumbled on the barn find video and this one... but 6 months ago? I can't imagine what all has happened in the last 6 months! Such a cool car and cool FIND! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! More videos please!!!!
I feel her pain. I've lost many loved ones and I sincerely hope that she gets to see this car restored to driving condition and know that it would make her late husband happy.
I had a '68 Corvette (non matching) with a 350 built by RHS. It had ported heads and a 292 cam giving 1/2 inch lift. I was told when I bought it that the engine made between 375 HP and 400 HP. It was the same color but was a T-top coupe. Taking the tops and the pop-out rear window off/out made it like driving a convertible. I really miss that car! Sold it "for a song" during hard financial times. ☹
It's not! I'm just a independent filmmaker who is interested in classic cars. I film for a living. I'll take this as a compliment though! (No script, just improvised). I wish i was good enough to write scripts lol.
I OWN A TORCH RED 1977 CORVETTE, I SUBSCRIBED AND HIT LIKE, I WILL WATCH ALL THE VIDEOS YOU PRODUCE ON C3 CORVETTES, MY 1977 CORVETTE WAS MY DREAM CAR, FOR MANY YEARS SINCE 1977.I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL LOL..
68 international blue (978) with dark blue interior (411) with hard top and 327 cu in 350 horse 4 speed. There were never many made, most of them if blue were light blue and lighter blue or black interior. Stealing it at 12,500. Robery at $10 k. Should be a shamed of yourself.
Also, this is how direct sales work. What you see is all the auction, ebay, 3rd party sellers with Markup. I just bought a 1960 corvette body, all the chrome, SS, no engine/transmission/suspension/frame for $8000 direct from a widow. It will cost me $70K for a resto-mod on a corvette correction frame, LS3, 4R65 transmission, all new suspension and the car will be worth $150K. I'm also finishing a 68 original 427 Tripower coupe and it will cost me $30K for that. Its a 3 year project.
@@jonathanp6671Ok you I’ll agree after seeing this again on a bigger screen. It’s hard to discern color on phone screen. But international blue was not very plentiful. Light blue much more common. For some reason (maybe beat to shit) many ‘68 do not survive today as years 69,70,71,72 did.
I was born in 1968... cool, cool ride! Btw, I just have to say that you guys are A#1 class act(s). Good job, you deserve it. Well bought and don't forget to give that nice lady a ride ; )
