This is quickly becoming a top 5 channel for me. Very knowledgeable, to the point with no dog and pony show antics. Good job, Parker and the Misses.

The fact that it's a 'radio delete' car makes it really rare..!
Guess the very incorrect passenger side mirror makes up for the weight saving of the radio. 😉

You have to keep it the way it is, and replace the "day one" stuff with period correct parts ie valve covers, carb, and intake etc... great car!!!

Wow 427 corvette ! What a great car just restore it back to its original glory .

[donahartsr.]

Give it a stellar cleaning and drive it!

[carlkasements]

Keep the, super, excellent, car 🚗 blue 😍 💙 and, drive, it, great, cool stuff 😎 yes 💜

[jballoregon]

Keep it just the way it is...refresh brake lines and hoses, top end gaskets. Keep those parts and get her driving again...amazing classic.

The OlGirl has been around this long.... and being as original as it is, just do simple maintenance (new tires, brakes, fluids, exetra) but definitly deserves to be on the road again.... in the proper driving hands of course, not to be hot rodded or "burnouts" and wrecked... but to be someones beloved daily driver again as it once started as to begin with as when it was intended to be for the original owner first owner. other tha that... It's Beautiful As Is, No Need For Side Pipes Or Any Extra Add Onns. It's Perfect The Way It Was Made And The Way It Was Ment To Be. JustSayin.

Magnificent!!!, I mean absolutely magnificent, that 427 is begging to be clean up and refreshed so it can hit the road.

Fantastic find, I hope the car gets rehabilitated at least to being driven.

Yeah that’s a awesome old corvette… I just don’t understand why people let them just sit and get in that kind of shape.. thanks for the video buddy…

[kevinbarrett]

What a beauty, clean it up make it safe, drive it.

My Chevrolet mentor always called these "soldier killers" he had multiple L36 cars and we built a bunch of BBC cars, all 66 fullsize cars. I always talked about taking on a corvette but his stories and nickname turned me off😂 I greatly enjoy your knowledge, I have a 66 tribute/mock L72 Biscayne, a guy like you would call my bluff easily😂 great stuff. Im subscribing!

Way too many trailer queens out there. This car needs to be cleaned up and put back into service and driven the way Chevrolet intended it.
Obviously, a lot of the mechanicals would have to be updated like new brakes and so on but she deserves to be driven.
Thanks for sharing.

That’s a tuff call. If it was original paint I definitely would have left it, however being that it’s been painted I would have to see how it cleaned up patina wise. Definitely a beuty car though 👍🏻

[papamike]

Two things he didn't mention. 1) Both side view mirrors are incorrect. There shouldn't even be a passenger side mirror. 2) This is a radio delete car which is very very rare. Because the mirrors are incorrect but painted the same color, I'd say this car has been repainted. Still a very cool barn find and worth restoring.

66 and 67 4/27 Corvettes there are more 427 Corvettes in these two years then there were ever made😊

Since it has already been painted, it would hurt to put some new paint on it. Tidy up the gaps and glass it with a cut and polish. I would also definitely clean up and paint the frame to keep it from rusting any more. Other than that, I would rebuild the motor, if needed, as close to original as possible and find an era correct carb. The distributor too. but I would run a more modern distributor and save the era correct one. And I would drive it all the time. I wouldn't beat on it, very often anyways. I would like to know how fast it can go and what times it is capable of in stock form and with a few reversable bolt ons. It's a good looking car. I like the split window ones too. But I'd prefer to have a 68 Camaro or 69 Road Runner. Only because I had those when I was 18 and into my late 20's. Both of which were in the 500 hp range. I bought the road Runner for 500 and the Camaro for 200. The Road came with a built 383. No Idea what was done to it but guessing it was stroked. The Camaro had a 327. I immediately put a 70.5 Z28 350 in it. After a full balance and blueprinted block. New forged pistons, ported heads, new Holley and a plate system N20. That was around 40ish years ago. I miss those cars. The 80's was a good time to be into fast cars.

Wow this is one hell of a car! If I was the Backyard Barn Find Guy I would be doing everything possible to make a purchase on this Corvette!

[ericerto]

That is a rare bird right there. A complete numbers matching L72 that thing is worth a pretty penny
