@@stephendavis7441 it’s a great truck and fun to drive. Felt like I went back in time when I took it for the shake down ride.

@@669lmontecarlo I like your style

i would say the same.

If it doesn’t pan out I’ll see how many pine trees I can take out with it.

@@tinshedperformance8626 I'm sure someone will buy it, they run great.. when they're running, so just keep it that way and it'll get someone to buy it

It actually has a 350 olds in it. The car was a full on drag car back in the day. You can see where the cage use to be and inner fenders were cut out for big block headers. There is also a cut off switch on the back bumper. I believe they retired the car striped it of most of its good stuff. Then later put the 350 in it to sell it.

​@@tinshedperformance8626 Love the car man! Im 55 years old and a life long Olds guy. My first car was a 1970 442, got it back in 1983...and i still have it! Right now the car is just a roller but i have Everything to put it back together. Its always been a street/strip car in my hands. Ive been a 455 guy since i was single digits old, thanks to Dad (rip). When the car does come back out after life settles down i have a 462 normally aspirated bullet Olds 455 that made 620hp/620tq with a single dominator on a victor. I have tons of engine stuff it y'all are looking for anything. In fact i have a pretty darn nice 455 on the stand that came from an old jet boat i used to have. Its got a spun #7/#8 rod bearing but was still running when i pulled it. Started knocking on the water and had to limp it back to the dock. Next day started right up on the garden hose at home. Pulled a valve cover just to find all the glitter inside, valvetrain all appears ok. I really need to thin down my collection and id like to sell that 455 if you are interested. It's just a guess till the pan comes off but #7/#8 rod journals are known to spin first. They are the last to get oil. Also ive learned you absolutely cannot run a standard car oil pan on any Olds in a jet boat. Boats are different than automotive when in motion and that 4 qt pan with one in the filter simply ain't enough oil especially when pinned at a constant 5500rpm against the jet. Not enough oul drainback to pan either with a stock Olds engine, which this one pretty much is. A friend put it together with fresh rings bearings and gaskets before i got the boat. He also used a pretty lumpy used hyd flat tappet camshaft I sold him while he threw it together. Sounded real good and ran excellent...until it didnt. If y'all were to buy the engine and the crank wouldn't turn .020 under then i have several core crankshafts id supply with the engine, if needed. Same with stock connecting rods. I have 12 Olds 455s just for parts, as in cores... engine blocks, various cyl heads, etc. if you wanna throw a 455 in that beautiful 65 F-85 then please get with me. I could help you get it done on a really low budget. Ive built counless Olds 455s over the years. Im on disability now so playing in the garage has almost come to a complete halt...for now at least. I hope to get back to it slowly here real soon. Im a retired mechanic and sure wish my body was able to go back to working because i actually miss wrenching big time. Anyway sorry for all the rambling. If i can help you out with some parts just let me know!

Thank you! We have done more paint work since this video. I’ll have to do an update soon.

Not sure what they were. We got them used from bubba’s tri city cycle. It was one of them “when you see them you know they are perfect for the project”type things.

You are actually right on the money. Going to be tinkered with over winter.

Thank you I know the star.

Thank you! Hopefully there will more to come.

Did they ever come in that color?

@@tinshedperformance8626 I think it's the Moroccan gold pearl white. Very pretty color.

That would be sharp.

@@tinshedperformance8626 I'm getting ready to paint match my tour pack I added. Just did a 3200 mile trip last week on it.

That is big trip. Where did you go?

The old funky salad.

@@tinshedperformance8626 and remember the liver is evil and must be punished enjoy

I have punished mine a few times. Lol

@@tinshedperformance8626 haha I find a constant flogging proves to be effective

We were actually thinking about doing another one with a different year paint scheme. Would it be a good idea?

Thank you! From the other side of the pond.

Keep up the good work guys

Once I get a little less busy there will be more to come.

Haha possibly

@@tinshedperformance8626I used to sell them for like 5 bucks in jr high boys room, sorry dads that’s where all the plumbing fittings went

You caught me

I am not paying Ken enough to run the cameras haha

Not much of it. 124 cubic inches. 11.5:1 compression. Even has the bigger throttle body.

That could be arranged.

Thank you! I will keep in coming.

I met your grandpa when I worked for the John Deere dealer. Delivered a new lawnmower to him. He was a good guy. And for like two years after I bought this place people were stopping by asking me if they could get parts for old phones. He knew a lot of people.

@@tinshedperformance8626 he did indeed know a lot of people I'm just sad I didn't get to hang with him like my brother did I miss going there every week to sit in the shed or walk in the patch of pine trees

Thanks for commenting. Glad you were entertained at a discount.

Hahaha that's funny

The three cylinder engine is aftermarket. Very rare.

More to come getting back into the swing of things
