RARE Corvette FOUND! Will it Drive 200 Miles Home For Restoration? 

A Jag, two vettes, a GTO, A Gran Sport Torino, and a King Croba Mustang damn Dalton you’re living that high life 😂 At least on paper

The visor slap counter got me.

GM 1982,we’ve spent millions and have the best engineers designing the power train on these cars making them the most efficient and powerful option you can get. Forty two years later PBG,yeah we’re just going to cut all that crap away and throw a carburetor on it and it’ll run better! This is why PBG is climbing the ladder of success and are some of the best and informative videos out there. Keep up the good work Dalton.

Margarets' neck game is on point.

Man! You're gonna be the coolest cat at the tony bahama New balance convention 😂 very sweet ride 👍

I can't wait for JD to get his license and start being your "dd" aka your drop off driver for these revivals.

Here's where Dalton gets pulled over and has to explain the mannequin head😂

49:00 the way us techs adjusted the tv cables at the gm dealership was to depress the button, pull the cable all the way back, release the button. Open the throttle all the way, the cable will automatically adjust out to the correct amount.

JD is wise beyond his years. "Maybe it just does". Sage advice my friend.

Smart to drive the NICE old car to pickup the new NICE old car. Gives the seller a little more comfort in knowing that you take care of NICE old cars. People love the early 60's vettes or the newer vettes. I'm in your camp, I have ALWAYS loved the C3 vettes. The only thing that sucks about them is they are always just out of reach for me financially. Every time I get to where I can afford them, I start looking and the prices have gone up.

My dad (who passed in 92) would have loved this channel as much as I do

I give you lots of credit for creating videos for us to enjoy. Working a full time time job, family life, etc. Its not easy to make videos when life goes on. Thanks Dalton for what you do!

How you know its gonna be a good video. The sun visor smack counter.

Yay. Too late to watch but im gonna have something great to watch before work tomorrow

My grandad collected corvettes and he had an identical 82 still in the wrapper with only 248 miles on the odometer. Unfortunately after he passed all his cars went to auction in 2003-ish but the car was basically brand new still. He had a couple different years that pretty much just went from the dealer to storage, seemed like a bit of a shame not to drive them but he just liked to look at them. 🤷‍♂️

J.D. is quick with the "yeah" a bunch. Makes me chuckle every time. 😂

What a beauty, it is nice to hear a good small block chevy purr with a carb up top. Enjoy the heck out of her, and remember to wear out the tires laying rubber when possible. Have a blast!

This was my Uncle Bob’s car!!! I know he would be so happy that you bought it and are giving it a new life. :)

I've just got to acknowledge that this "high dollar resto" is as intersting as the old holy goat series. Keep on doing what ever you'd like to. And secondly but not of lesser importance, youve got a wonderful woman "wingmaning" you in ever instance. I hope youre happy together.😊 And your son has become an awesome cameraman! Kudos to everyone involved. Love from sweden!❤

This is hands down, the nicest car you've had on the channel. Congratulations, Sir.

I'm a sucker for red on black stingray's. But this one is special for sure. That champagne color is great. Especially if you live on dusty roads. The interior with the 5 tone door panels! Good purchase there!

That box that was with lug nuts looked like an old fuzz buster " it's the fuzz I better slow down" lol

If you look up the 5 speed you'll see Tremec has discontinued the TKO. It's been replaced with the new TKX. Good news is that it's an improvement in every way, bad news is that the trans itself goes for about $2900, not counting clutch stuff. Still worth it though, would be awesome in that Vette! Sweet car though, I don't think I've ever seen one of those collectors editions. Looks to be in fantastic shape!

I actually detailed one of those when I worked at a gm dealership, the color is exclusive to that car along with the rims and the interior door panels I think are exclusive too with the brown in them, there cool cars it was funny the mechanic in the shop didn't like the cross fire either 😅 I have a 69 Chrysler Newport custom myself, I always enjoy your videos Dalton you and Jess and JD show what passion over money can get you if your just willing to learn and work, money helps too though😂

Heck ya dalton ive been waiting for this video since you first purchased it and posted pictures on Facebook!

The Margaret thing saying yeah shut up, 😅was so hilarious 😅

You really needed to do a huge Burnout by the Ole Hags house who treated to call the Law on you lol. 😂

You need to get the Holly TV cable geometry corrector bracket that bolts to the throttle arm on the carb. Without it the TV cable doesn’t move in an exact 1 to 1 relationship with the throttle. Causes all kinds of issues. The throttle arm out of the box is designed for a 3 speed kickdown cable. With those all that matters is the cable is completely pulled out at full throttle.

I expect to see Margaret in all future videos. She's a rising star!

Oh man you got the only Vette I've ever truly wanted. Lucky man. Good luck with it.

That coat hanger advice is 100% golden oldschoolin.... GTSOT...lol

1982 corvettes are quite the enigma. The last of the C3 generation, Which started strong, but the fuel crisis killed the power ratings. The C4 was such a needed redesign there is no 1983 model Vette. When it was brand new that crossfire 350 had maybe 200hp. The early EFI was garbage sure, but it was the test bed that helped the LS become what it is today. I do wanna see if you can turn that thing into a dual carb setup like you mentioned in the blazer/c3 episode. Side note, I half expected JD to just drive the LTD back. Then I saw jess and it made more sense. Only a couple more years till that license

What a great find. I think I would keep this one. Your right there's nothing quite like driving a Vette.

Congratulations Dalton! I can see how excited you are. Gonna be a sweet ride when its all said and done.

57:02 Part of why I love carbs! Simplicity is lovely.

Slowly becoming my favorite channel…

Oh man Dalton finding that locking lug nut in the glove box is probably one of the greatest reliefs in life.. Like seriously almost as good as finding out, well.. it's a very good feeling!

That is one gorgeous Vette! (You and Margret arguing reminded me of Harry Mudd and Stella!!)

One sweet Ride you found. We can tell how much you like a car based on how much you spray paint it. With the new carburetor and fuel pump, you definitely woke that Engine Up. Nice car

love the show, its awesome when you have your boy working with you

Loved that custom visor, it knows when to block your view lol. Say just an old trick I used to get brake lines broke loose, has never failed me yet. Clamp a Vise Grip onto the line nut, make sure your have enough room to do this, then take your palm and give the Vise grip a sharp smack, this will break that nut loose 95% of the time, try it. I own line wrenches and am a retired mechanic of many years, rarely used my line wrenches to break lines loose, always used the Vise grip and never have broke a line or rounded off a nut. But always spray them first with a good penetrant first, which I seen you do anyway. If you try to remove those lines with a wrench or even a line wrench it will almost always fail and break, strip, or twist that line and you will be cursing up a storm lol. great videos btw, always entertaining.

First shot of the car at the very start of this episode. What a gorgeous car/color combo. I remember seeing very few of them in Canada in 82/83, but one of my teachers at Junior High had one. I pestered him for months for a ride. It would not happen now, but he relented and took me for a decent run. We went to Brandon from home (Winnipeg). It was done with my parent's knowledge, but I would bet that even with permission in writing, in triplicate, kids could not get a ride in a teacher's cool car today. It is weird, but I vividly remember walking over to it and pressing the handle to get in, just seeing that shot. Then, I saw how low I sat and how high the dashboard was, and those fenders were sitting proudly up front. There were quite a few jealous schoolfriends who were not cheeky enough to ask first. Yours is identical in every way to the one I rode in, but the seats appear different. Heck, it might even be the same one. I doubt it very much, though. Not many people would pick up on a loose alternator before driving away. JD is one lucky assed kid to have a Dad like you. My Dad was/is a car guy, but not to the same extent as you, Dalton. I was surprised he chose not to ride back with you in the 'Vette. 7:19. Just look at it. Are you looking at it? Beautiful. Damn right, there is nothing like it. The only car I can think of that is even remotely Corvette 'like' is a Bricklin, which is pushing it. It is excellent that you are doing this correctly. It is a keeper and worth maintaining. I doubt one single self-tapper will be used. 🙂 Deja-vu. I am sure I have seen you sit in the house putting those seat covers on already. $50 for some dye? Frick. You would also need more than one, as they will probably be small cans. I spoke too soon. Drywall screw and a self-tapper, lol. Both are perfectly justified. JD is getting his hands dirty again with intake crap removal. More learnin' for his brain to absorb. It looks like some suspension bushes need some loving. OMG, you have a working fuel gauge! It is a fantastic car. It has replaced the Thunderbird as my favorite car in your fleet. I am so envious. I'd give both my kidneys for that thing. Yet another superb upload from you, even though it is a different sort of MO. Neil :-)

Best hour and 8 minutes I have spent all week! Thank you for great entertainment. Looks like you covered all the base's on this one. Yep,, you are living the automotive collector's dream on a budget for sure!

Dalton I don't know how you did it or what rabbit foot you keep in your back pocket but that girl of yours is truly one of a kind and special. You're a lucky man and you have a beautiful family. Great video as always my friend take care

Clark! It has the CB radio and optional rally fun pack! Too bad it’s not Antarctic blue….

I love the C3s as well. One is on my short list...one with a carb, LOL. Did you happen to go show that nice lady down the road your new car? What a sweetie she was....

Man that's a beautiful vette....I've always wanted an 81....the date you showed on the seat pan is a couple months after I was born.....damn I feel old now lol 😆

I got me some merch a few weeks back got a official PBG sticker and the shirt that looks like the PBR logo hope some money goes for the new shop. Can't wait for more new content dude thanks for all the enjoyment

Congrats on the vett purchase dalton.👍

A mate of my Dad's in Ireland has/had a '72 Stingray. 454, 4 speed manual. I drove it in 1993, and he still had it about 5 years ago. Last time I saw it, it had 57,000 miles on it. I'm tempted to see if he'd sell it, if indeed he still owns it.

Nice to see you treating yourself to something nice man. Car looks good!

20 years from now JD is gonna be the guy that everyone goes to for advice on old motors, every week he spends doing this with you is the equivalent of a year in college 🤣👍🏻

Those wheels look awesome on that car!

Brother l love that style of Vet really Happy for You on your New Vet You definitely deserve it you are a very hard worker and you definitely will turn it into an Awesome Vet.

This is the best channel on the internet. Hands down my favorite!

"Nothing ever goes right." I'd say that was a win Dalton. That Corvette is a winner. Hope to see more episodes on it. Nice work.

Now you need a "Shut up, Margaret" T shirt 😂

I replaced the seats and carpets on my 81. I wanted to do the door panels but couldn't swallow the $500 a piece price tag. Someday I'll do them. I did however change my seat foam. Glad you got another C3. They really are a strange addiction.

Good to see you back in a car you love !

Man Dalton, you really need to come up with a self-tapping screw meme and make T-shirts. Think I laughed as hard at the fender self rapper as the entire van you built with them LMAO

4 pots on all 4 corners is pretty impressive for 1981

Yes Timkin has always been a very good Quality bearings I've used them for at least twenty years.

Dalton that is one beautiful Vette. I can see why you saved up for it. Very Nice!

Yay. Too late to watch but im gonna have something great to watch before work tomorrow!

Love that you got one of your dream cars and splurged to get seat covers and door panels. Enjoy it. Was awesome to see how even after all that, the Pole Barn Garage authenticity came through and shot drywall screws in a $425 door panel. Appreciate all you, JD, Jess, Mom, Dad, and Cody (and friends) do for the channel.

Margaret is a hoot! I’m glad you got some head with your new Corvette.

I don't comment often, but I just found you thanks to a random youtube recommendation. I just have to say I love it when people who normally work on carbed vehicles take the plunge and work on fuel injected ones every so often without just throwing a carb on it and calling it a day, but understand it's easier and more practical. These deserve some TLC too even if they can be a bit more of a pain to work on. I'm sure you, junkyard digs, vice grip garage and Mortske repair have helped quite a few people find the motivation to revive an old car. Those are just the ones that I can think of off the top of my head. I myself have a 72 Mercury that I'm slowly getting parts for. Hope to have it on the road this summer. Thank you for what you do and involving your family. You guys are a great motivation to the rest of us. It's certainly a welcome departure from the days of Davidsfarm....if anyone even remembers that.

Ah the really fun time of a break job on a c3 corvette, especially the drilling out the rotors for the hubs. I’ve done a few and definitely don’t miss working on them, the fun part is getting the brass junction blocks for the brake lines and hoping they don’t break.

Congratulations, Dalton. I'm glad to see you treating yourself the way you deserve to be treated. Great car.

Many years ago a great friend of mine won a custom '82 Twin Turbo Vette at Cypress Gardens off his entry ticket thrown in a barrel, awesome car!

one thing i found out doing my 83 caddy. I put a 305 SBC in it to replace that crap 4.1l i went carb and HEI just like you did here but i still am running the stock TBI fuel pump in the tank. Neat fact here! If you just put a T fitting and run the line to the return you build a constant 3-4 PSI naturally with zero fuel regulator required. since the return line is smaller then the feed line it has juuuuust enough volume to run a carb with no regulator. been like that for 3 years no with zero issues. the more you know!

That thing is actually in pretty nice shape. Glad you got yourself a decent one to start with. Last vette I had was a total basket case and needed 2 of everything.

Thanks!

Love to hear the spring peepers in the background. Spring is in the air!

Good to see you’ve bought yourself something that doesn’t belong in a Mad Max film 😂 Another excellent PBG production 👍🏼🇬🇧

I heard a bit of Jaaaaaag Man come out when you told Margaret to shut up 😂

Cool to see JDs confidence getting better and better! Your a great dad from what I can see. Love the channel keep em coming!

DUDE! I love that car! Great job on giving her some serious mojo! And yes, a Tremec TKX would be quite sweet! Fun vid, brother! A+++++

Thanks for the video and you've got the best sidekick ever good job J.D. 👍🇺🇸

JD is a pretty good camera guy!

Clean shaven, quality brake components, $1500 in seat covers and door panels…. and blankets to protect the fenders.? Who are you and what did you do with Dalton? Great videos, keep em coming 👍🏻

Great video, corvette came out real nice, sounds great too. You are teaching JD well!

Got my two PBG hats I ordered today. Only took a few days was quick and the hats are SWEET!!!!!!!

That's a beautiful car, congrats! Yes, most of those who make fun of Vettes have never driven one. Nothing like them.

Thanks for your time 😊

Every Friday I look forward to these so much!! Thank you!!!

The Vetts nice but I really love the LTD sweet ride .

Dalton never fails us, never get bored watching pbg next up merch, keep up the great work dalton thanks for letting us day to day workers know we have a shot to work on cars and trucks too

Good afternoon from Cape Cod 🦈 I had a 74 L48 convertible stingray with a 350 360 horse. 714 made. I paid 8,000 bucks for it in 88, I drove it for a couple of years and sold it for $24,000. I needed the money to do some remodeling on my home, I still miss that car. Now getting to your 82, I think it's an exceptionally cool looking car and knowing you it'll be cooler as you own it. Keep up the great work guys and the awesome content 👍✌️🇺🇲

Sir, I just found you and you have reignited my love for the 1982 Collector Edition.

as a resent owner of a 76 c3 this is very helpful, thx :)

Overfilling the trans will push fluid out the vent when hot. It will stop when fluid level gets right again

yes yes yes = great thing and saving up - way to go !

some PITTSBURGH 9 in. Safety Wire Twisting Pliers will help tying those seat covers to the seat frame

It must be spring as I can hear all the little toady frogs in your pond. Nice Vette and some day I may look for one.

It's in good hands now!

They actually made 6,759 of those vettes....Pure entertainment!! Bravo!! I think this was a total reverse!! Lol, I actually was impressed with the car a lot more until you used your lack of skill and knowledge to goober it all up!! I know professional mechanics are hacks, and you are the best!! This video was epic!! Can't wait to see you do something like this again. I might make a drinking game out of it!! Lmao!! Absolutely fantastic video. I still loved it!! Tractor paint next that would really tie everything together!!

Out of all the Chevrolets, the Corvette is the best. Surprising to learn about the body flex when jacking, I thought it should be rock solid!

That and the 60s models are the only Vettes I actually do like. Glad you got the one you wanted!

I've always liked those from day 1, and more each year. One of my favorite C3s, including the killer steel bumper big block cars. They were reserved; mellow color and graphics, neat retro turbine wheels, and the bronze tops. This one's a keeper, I'd have to say.
