@@tomtheraton3058 if you watch the last video he showed it was working and then it just went out. Cant list the miles if it cant be seen even though he knows how many miles it has
@@nicholasfoley7105 Yep, If you can get a paint job for under $2k your doing well. I've never seen any of my paint shops do a full paint for anything less than $4k, clearcoat is about $600.
@@rickjohnson1632 I know man. Lol I was just trying to not make it sound too cheap just in case the buyer reads this. Lol. Just kidding. I tell you tho this really came out beautiful and I think he will make some good money off this one. I'm not a fan of the year, I always felt these years for this model looked more like a Taurus then a Mustang. My favorite years aside from the classics was the 1987 - 1989 GT. Man they came from the factory with the best body kit, dual exhaust and that beautiful 8cyl with, in my younger yesterday, so much power. OMG I loved that car. I seriously am thinking of getting one. They have two on Bring a Trailer for under $15,000. Just like everything from the late 80's - 90's are starting to go up in price and I'm pretty sure they are going to continue to go up because my generation has money in their pocket and can afford this. Anyway, thank you Rick for keeping me honest. 😜😜
I completely understand why you felt like you were just done with swamp thing, I'm glad that you decided to fix it. Curious to see what she brings at auction.
Fixing wires is literally the EASIEST thing to do I love when all I have to do is fix a few wires. Especially when I can see exactly which ones are the problem.
I watched your channel for about 3~4 years it’s getting better and better as you improve every video. I will definitely continue to watch. Lots of respect to you and the family. Hopefully sort things out with Tim. Stay safe and keep doing your thing. From Edinburgh Scotland 🏴
Wow! I just watched the whole Swamp Vette Series. Great Job. I will have to admit, I did snicker a little bit when you were pulling the plenum and fuel rails. Also, when it started having issues running from the beginning I had heard the exact engine sound from ours. I kept saying it's the injectors! It's the injectors. But I say all that out of understanding from when I went through the same issues on ours. I even posed a video on installing a new fuel pressure regulator on my channel. By that time I had removed the fuel rails and injectors a number of times. We wound up having to replace the entire fuel system. I also laughed when I saw the sending unit. Ours was exactly the same as that one. So I will say congratulations and welcome to the wonderful world of the C4. I really enjoyed the posts. Keep up the good work.
Randy always like your honest and open way to let us know next steps. Like you says car enthusiast always enjoy any car and when it’s done let’s move for a new one. Keep it up with the good content. Greetings from Orlando Fl.
Who woulda thought watching cars at an auction can be so entertaining? Been watching your content a couple weeks now, and I love it. You seem like a great guy and I've learned alot! You're giving ppl gold knowledge about buying a used car. Thank you for being you sir!
New Subscriber. I have been following this series and have come to love your channel! I grew up watching and helping my dad work on cars to resale. Love your channel!
Right on, man. I'm glad you took the time to fix the 'Vette. Just recently I bought some reconditioned injectors for installation with an aftermarket fuel rail/ FPR setup. They cracked at the body and leaked immediately. The engine being an older non-crossflow inline 6, it was easy to see as soon as the fuel pump kicked on. The injectors were in plain sight, a luxury you didn't have. I'll scrimp here and there forever- That's the cloth I'm cut from. But I'll never try to save money on fuel injectors again.
Randy, This Coming From A Guy That’s Had A ‘68 Corvette, Big Block Convertible Around Me All My Life, It’s Been Part Of The Family Since It Was Two Years Old, I Respect And Appreciate You Saving That ‘85 Corvette, The Professional’s At The Tire Shops, Have The Proper Tools To Remove Those Tires.. I’d Hang On To That Ol-Gal For A Short While, Enjoy It, Have Some Old School Fun, Then Let It Go Down The Road, Should You Decide..
Thanx for keeping it real Randy. Giving us the lowdown on your circumstances shows the work you have to do making a show. We all hope you are driving your favorite car, no judgement needed. WoooHoooo Road Trip!
I knew you would not send swampvette down the road without repairing the fuel leak. 👍 Your a top man. 👍 Looking forward to seeing what your bringing next.
Keep em turning Randy, you've got to make a dollar, can't just do it for the love, even if that's the main motivator . . . Always enjoy your channel and what you do, so looking forward to the next chapter . . . Cheers for all your hard graft, You Tube is much more enjoyable and entertaining place with you in it !
Glad you got the fual issue fixed on swampvett. She's looking sharp. The mustang looks and sounds sick. Always enjoy your videos. Especially the project cars.
Randy, Swamp Vette is the only vehicle that I’ve seen you work on that PERFECTLY matches your intro❗️ You should be PROUD of that job‼️ That epitomizes what AAR is all about for many of us. Thanks for bringing us along on this journey. As for the i3, well, until you mentioned MMW joining you on the road trip, I was probably going to skip that series of videos. But now, I just MAY check it out. Please, Randy, don’t try to become Hoovie, Samcrac, or Tavarish. Please stay Randy of AAR‼️
Randy, was at my sis in FL past week and had lil lizard on her screened in porch and was tryin to figure how to get him to you!! Glad I'm home to watch your videos, keep up great job
Sad to see it go, but at least it works and looks great. I wish there were more cars like old school corvettes were more commonplace in the UK, they look like they are very fun to drive. Fuel costs would be quite a lot tho lol
You buy a project because you enjoy working on it and doing things to it, not because you want to make a huge profit on it. Now with a youtube channel you can use it to make content and cover your costs that way. Which is reasonable, and it lets you do way more to a car to make it nice than somebody might otherwise. But for the rest of us you do it for the pleasure of when that job is done and you turn the key and fire it up and it goes down the road and you know you're responsible for making it that way. If you don't enjoy working on it anymore then by all means sell. I've followed Randy long enough to know he has sort of a car ADD, he gets a car, works on it, then gets bored with it, or does all he can with it, then he sells it. Even his new cars he gets bored with after a while and sells. I had a chance to buy a nice G-van last month and I spent probably too much on it - because I like them and I like working on them. I'm on my second Express and I dread trying to fix the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pump was nasty enough. Potential intake gasket job scares me. So when this G20 was auctioned off I went for it. Hopefully it isn't a total dog with the 4.3, because I could see getting 10, 15 years out of it. When I'm mad at the car I call it a flaming hunk of s---. When I'm not mad at the car I call it that too, but in an affectionate way. If I ever get to the point of having merch on my channel that's going to be on a T-shirt. lol
to be on the safe side if it was me...i would replace or repair those burnt or melted wires.it might make it run better...lol...great job though. its a hot looking car......
Your right Randy, my daughter in law is a doctor and she ordered a 2021 Ram fully loaded 4x4 pick up and loves it and drives to work, picks up her kids in it and goes to the grocery store in it and loves it!! I think her husband is jealous and wants one too!
Great video again. Doesn’t matter what your up to I’ll still watch. Looking forward to you and Mike possibly coming out to LA. And if you do make it to N. Hollywood I’d love to meet both of you, I’m in Chatsworth. Not far from there. All the best to you and Jessica.
What's up Randy, not sure if you've tried this already, but I'm from the RGV in south Texas and we have some geniuses working at our local tire repair shop. I had the same problem with my bronco, couldn't find the lug nut lock key from the previous owner. So the dude at the fix a flat, got a smaller diameter dip socket and tapped it in with a small sledgehammer and used that to remove the lock. It worked.
Good move selling off inventory. I recommend you pick up a car and repair it and make a profit. Do a couple of those. No $1700 wheel/tires combos, no fancy aftermarket exhaust. Just make some nice cars that run and look good. Avoid color change at Maaco, that runs the cost up as well.
My neighbors got an i3 on a lease. They had lots of issues with it and ended up returning it after 6 months. They originally had a leaf, they went back to that. Hopefully your i3 works better!
If it makes you feel any better Randy, my wifes (Original owner) fully loaded 1996 Monte Carlo Z34 3.4 LQ quad cam runs great and the check engine light has been on since 1997. Every time I spend a day and a half to get the check engine light to go out, it runs like crap. It seems the GM cars run better in limp mode. And yes, the Z34 has been an ongoing project for 24 years. Even the dealer could never get the light out for more than a month. Junk wire harnesses! The car is still in pristine condition, I've become an expert at the most complicated timing belt procedure ever engineered, and the check engine light it is a fixture in this vehicle. Some degreeing of the cams bumps the HP to 245. Always could use some electrical tape to cover the Check light. Someday it will go to the Grave with the light still illuminating. But I consider keeping one of those cars going a badge of honor! Enjoyed the whole series with the swamp Vette. Well done! A badge of honor. Sad to see it go.
I agree with selling off all the cars. And I get that you want to try something new. But just remember what got you here to almost 300k subscribers. I don't think most of us care about "super"cars, there are plenty of channels for that, and they get old FAST! I really enjoy the everyday, affordable, content you've always provided, with the occasional flash. I also enjoyed the save the 4 door stage very much! You are a down to earth guy who shares so much of his life with us. Don't sacrifice that to be something your not man! Keep the great content coming. Love your channel.....
Very nice video Randy I can't wait to see all the other stuff you got coming you do amazing content you Excite me every day with everything you do keep up the good work from your biggest fan John Courtney
If you could see my face I look so stupid smiling. Very very happy with how they SN95 came out. Ohhhh Myyyyy Gawd that looks amazingly awesome!! So beautiful Randy. You should make a before and after and plaster that all over your socials as your profile picture. It came out do so freaking good man.
I feel your pain. I own a 1990 vette and since day 1, it’s fought me to the end. Nothing was easy. It’s caught fire twice, left me stranded a few times, and almost killed me once. My wrath for this car was beyond belief. It’s like a bad ex. But after ALL of the repairs and kinks were ironed out (basically replaced everything), it became my favorite car to drive.
Man, I (a FORD guy) need to get into another C4, someday! My "dream" one would have to be the "anniversary" '88 (white, even the wheels, with a white interior). Clean, it looks amazing, exotic for the 80's! :)
Great work! In my opinion, have a red donor Corvette, swap parts into a white Corvette and then, paint red the white Corvette seems like a lack of creativity! But in overall, the hard work and the "not-give-up" attitude are the best of this restoration
I would like to see some videos on restoring a c3 vette,preferably a 1977.They are inexpensive to buy,parts are cheap,and plentiful,easy to work on,because they are old school.Plenty of room in the,engine bay,to work on the aforementioned vehicle for sure.There is a big demand for these videos.a.k.a.Corvette ben,restoration obsession,,corvette bob,,, I know a series of videos on a c3 vette would be sick.I enjoy your videos,bro,ROCK ON.thanks russ.

Thanks man.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds Keep the great content coming.
The Swamp Vette sure is associated with a lot of memories. Will be a great project car for an enthusiast .
Swampy would be proud. Swamp Vette needs to do the little trooper right. Swampy us watching and hoping she goes to a good home. RIP Swampy.
Try cleaning the idle air valve and maybe the egr too if it’s electronic.
They carbon up and stick.
I think when you were working on that cold start injector problem you might have pulled another vacuum line loose and got the uneven idle.
It’s amazing what a cheap , shiny paint job will do
Right??
Resale red, oldest trick in the book.
Not really "cheap" it did cost some decent money 💰💰💰💰💰💰 mostly due to prep time.
@@Carls_World 600 is cheap . The color red is the “ gold standard” for flipping cars , trucks . “ car salesman / flippers “ love that color . it sells

I completely understand why you felt like you were just done with swamp thing, I'm glad that you decided to fix it. Curious to see what she brings at auction.

Fixing wires is literally the EASIEST thing to do I love when all I have to do is fix a few wires. Especially when I can see exactly which ones are the problem.
Randy, check the burned wires, maybe one is grounding.
what do you think caused the fire to start with, shit wiring + fuel
The corvette sounds like a leaf blower when you Rev it up
Enjoy the Z4 Randy!
Even Elliott Alvis, WatchJRGo friend, has one (Penny the Z4).
Can't wait for the i3 and new content 😎👍👍
I don’t care what people say about the i3, i’m excited too see it!
I’m glad I found this channel 3-4 months ago I love the content can’t wait to see you’re up coming projects.

Maybe you need to find yourself a Ford F250 or Ram 4X4 for yourself to restore and use. You kind of need a work truck! 😉😎
@@jackschissler255 Except he said that Jessica prefers to drive it leaving him with the Z4.

Tints look great💯
It's time to let the Swamp Vett and the Mustang go. Send both to auction , have them pick, both up. JUST DO IT !!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain. I own a 1990 vette and since day 1, it’s fought me to the end. Nothing was easy. It’s caught fire twice, left me stranded a few times, and almost killed me once. My wrath for this car was beyond belief. It’s like a bad ex. But after ALL of the repairs and kinks were ironed out (basically replaced everything), it became my favorite car to drive.
Man, I (a FORD guy) need to get into another C4, someday! My "dream" one would have to be the "anniversary" '88 (white, even the wheels, with a white interior). Clean, it looks amazing, exotic for the 80's! :)
My 2000 Holden Commodore idles rough sometimes but runs great !
Great work! In my opinion, have a red donor Corvette, swap parts into a white Corvette and then, paint red the white Corvette seems like a lack of creativity! But in overall, the hard work and the "not-give-up" attitude are the best of this restoration
I love what you said about them not being just for girls or for boys, men or women, but for everybody
Great job on both cars
