We could not agree more with you. The '67 BJ8 is not our favorite. also worth noting is the ride height was increased too taking away some of the stance appeal.

Yes, Chris. There is a certain appeal and satisfaction bringing one back to life after abandonment. We enjoy that and don't put a dollar valuation on the time to do that.

Thanks, Albert. We feel the matching numbers outweigh the broken fiberglass. That can be fixed and missing VIN match parts are not easily to replace. We ran the block numbers and is the original born with engine with matching VIN. Most likely has never been apart or out of the car by the looks of it.

@@classicperformance that is even better because you and I know one anything is removed from the car it's not a original anymore I have a C3 Corvette and I had this car sent's I was 16 years old and I keep it all original and yes it's still all matching numbers all the way to the frame and rear end of it when it brakes down I try my best to fix the broken parts to keep it numbers matching

Super, you are my kind of guy.. I love everything original just like it came from the factory!!! This car has that potential unlike a chopped up '69 w a 70's 350, Cragar SS wheels, headers and all. The wheel codes at valve stems all check correctly too.

Dan, There were an assortment of engines available for '69 in the Corvette, they are listed in the description along with all the other available options. Only two small blocks available and both had Quadrajet carbs and cast iron painted intakes and open element breathers. The visually notable difference which I alluded to was the base motor (300hp vs 350hp) had stamped steel valve covers and the 350hp had cast aluminum "LT-1" style valve covers which were the same used on the '69 Z-28. Judging by the original appearance and fasteners, I guessed and determined it must be the 300hp base motor. The data plate on the center console confirmed that thinking. Some of the big block motors then had Rochester Quadrajet or Holley carburation, cast iron or Winters Foundry aluminum intakes, depending on horsepower. So, fairly easy to tell the difference between the engine options. Appreciate your interest.

We framed out the windows, but did not cut them open for now. The thinking was for better sleeping. We still might cut out the rear window and put glass in it. Thanks for your interest !

What's the price you would put on it with front end damage then?

​@@classicperformanceI can do fiberglass work. I'd be very happy at your offer plus or minus. Had a '71 coupe 390 4 spd car go under a rear trailer. A tape measure, jack stands under the nose of a level jacked stand'ed Corvette goes a long way. Aluminum flat strips & a screw gun pieced it together good enough for fiberglass repair. Ecklers & the aftermarket sells replacement front ends and nose pieces. I would see what OG pieces come with the car. If none .. then a nose and a saw would get me right. A good fiberglass guy is a necessity, but I will say that a confident man with time & tools is a capable equal. --> "plastic fantastic" is a very true phrase for these cars. Many a sin has been easily fixed by many a Corvette owner.

Ouch! --yea, I have pieced several back together over the years provided you have all the pieces. I did not see any of the broken fiberglass laying around. A front headlight surround might do it for about $900, front bumper $700, bumper brace $200... A closer look would have to be made to see what else is damage. I imagine some of the pot metal of the light assemblies has cracked, $900 for a pair used, bumper brackets and supports, bumper extensions, grills, grill surround, etc. Regardless you are getting into some money in just repair.

I think you are right on the money, William. $2,500 tops. We'll see how it goes and have made an offer in that range. the car just doesn't have great value as it is optioned. AC, side pipes, a 350 horse motor and it might be another story. Stay tuned. Appreciate the info. CP

Chris, I think you are right on the money. Stay tuned and we'll see how it pans out. No response on our offer yet and the property and contents is still in the final stages of conveying.

That would be Colorado Red if we recall correctly! Great cars, still even today. Thanks!

will do!! and it's "Spend your money", not "Spent".

Wondered the same thing. Like it was some reveal for the 1st time ever!

@@classicperformance Yes! It was awkward to listen. I dunno he's strange sometimes lol

True. The M-21 4-speed, bell housing and flywheel is worth that. Good set of 8" wheels, good hood and a lot of parts.

True. It would have to be that kind of deal. Made my offer in that range. Thanks for the interest.

It is, if you can buy it at the right price. We offered $3,000 for starters. Stay tuned to see how the negotiations go!!

We did and it's not as clear as we would like. Always looking for better advice and advice from "practical experience" vs. what is in print.

And steering wheel, it wouldn’t surprise me if the outside was painted Pepsi

Pepsi, born in the Carolinas and where we were!

old skool Trail Boss right here!

Agreed, Stephen. I made an offer at what I felt was "parts car valuation". Stay tuned, we'll see.

We fully agree, Luke. Not sure I even want it for the "parts car valuation" I offered. We'll see how it shakes down. The C3s are no where near the values of C2s in this neglected condition. Appreciate your interest. We'll see how it shakes down.

我們的眼睛也睜得大大的。請觀看我們的福特 GT 40 駕駛完整影片和其他 GT 40 影片。謝謝你！ th-cam.com/video/NiDDBRQejOU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dKkXvPdalvJIasKd

Yes, John, it was a real struggle. Good learning experience!

The smoothness of a Custom 8 is unlike none other from the era. Even quiet and smooth by today's standards. For the ultimate in Packard smoothness, check out our '56 Patrician! Thanks for your interest, Tom.

Mike, you are absolutely correct. Can you expand on that for us please. We have the paperwork documentation and old photos of him to support it. Appreciate you interest and knowledge.

Agreed, and one of our long-time favs too!! Thank you for your interest!!!

Thanks for your interest!!! My wife said the same thing during the entire project! agreed!

Jay Leno???

Appreciate your interest!!! An amazing week.

I could not keep up with it, obviously! Will do better next time.

Thanks for watching!!

We love them all and all the "backup girls" too!!! a great show indeed.

Thanks!!! appreciate your interest. We have another with better angles prior to the fence going up. Check through our videos if you like for it and a backup girl feature.

Great genuine person and one who saw it all 1st hand back in the day. Fewer and fewer of these guys left.

Absolutely. But nobody really asked for them.

@@classicperformance Gotta have music. A nice head unit , small amp and a couple high end 6X9s Thats all. Probably wouldnt even need an amplifier with todays technology

@@sambuvca22 agreed!!! and in a pinch, a good bluetooth speaker

We kindly and respectfully disagree and have all the documentation since new including mileage registrations. The paint on the valve covers was more for selling them in the showroom and is very paper thin. It was never designed to withstand the test of time and extreme temperature fluctuations in an engine compartment. Additionally, the valve covers did not get a primer coat first as the exterior, just paint over stamped steel and hand painted "Packard" script. They are almost 70 yeas old. We appreciate your interest and interacting with the channel comment forum.

Those 427 cars of any era were fantastic!!!

Thanks, Sam!! Lots of landings and takeoffs for sure.

Wish I had more footage of that T-28!

Always a great sight! I was surprised it ran so well and the carbs quit leaking gas on their own. More to come on this project. Thanks for your interest!

True, the wind was not too much of a factor, especially for the jets!

We agree!!! See our full driving video this clip was taken from and others on the GT 40s including a visit to Holman Moody.

Will do! The day was kinda a bust. Not my thing to shoot, obviously! Super hot, humid bright day too.

@classicperformance it looks like you have really good camara, and you were trying. I've tried filming with a tripod, but with RC planes, it just can't be done. I usually use my tripod on rc car events if the track is small enough or, of course, if it's in one spot. Hey, we all live and learn. Good luck on the next one.

Thanks, John. We gave it a go. Will try again with another setup. Appreciate your interest! it's been a rough crowd in the comments. :)

@classicperformance yea, some people can be Ass Hats. I could tell you guys are a little new to it. Like I said, it seems like you have a really good camera. I could tell cause the planes were not getting out of focus at a distance, and the resolution is really good. I've done alot of videoagraphy and when it comes to rc planes, zoom is not you're friend unless it's like remaining static i.e hovering or a slow high alpha things like that. If you have a pretty good size viewscreen and it does well in the sunlight, you want it like 4 to 5 inches from you're face so you can keep it in the middle of the screen and you can see around it also and possibly just in case the pilot does an abrupt turn or goes vertical it's easier to keep up. Other than great 👍 first effort and I subscribed to you're channel. Don't worry about the comments. It's a process and you're learning. Stay safe and look forward to more.😄

We sure did and it didn't work did it. Appreciate your interest to take a look and comment.

Thanks, Tony!!! Not sure we ever got 5-stars before. :)

The RC aircraft crowd is a tough crowd!!
