I like your truck, and will look to see more. I'm surprised you didn't take notice that C30 has a BBC. Perhaps original. Generally speaking, a BBC is far more desirable than SBC. I have a C10, SWB ,402, neat little "sport truck". But I don't know if I agree a C10 is more desirable than a C20. Depends who is looking. Never had a C30, but I think one would be very cool. That truck is remarkable, and the price showed it. Not a big fan of the blue one, but perhaps the new owner got a good truck. Incidentally, near as I've seen your truck is worth north of 30K. Heck, restore mods are fetching a 400K cost to the buyers sometimes, dollars to donuts a lot of the parts are Chinese junk.................Edit, couldn't find more images of your truck. Images of the engine bay and even under carriage would be very cool.

The blue 1 isn't a 375 either,,no aluminum heads

375hp chevelles didnt have AC

I’ve never seen an aftermarket keyhole for the deck lid before! Chrome horses weren’t stock either, it’ll be fun to see Hoovie fix it up.

great presentation. anyone ever say you sound and look like top gear's Jeremy Clarkson?

Do you have a video on how to spot a real one?

Two of my dream cars!

I had the same car , black with t-top, oh and a 402 BBC with a 4 speed

Congrats on your work, looks amazing. Glad you roped a local sale. How did the MB E320 sell?

Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to see Hoovie take it to the finish line!

Just saw him in it this morning!!!

Love how it sounds!

Nice car. Saw the result of your BaT action - glad you had a reserve. The car may be fully depreciated but worth a lot more than the final offer. Hopefully the A124 does better.

I owned one of these cars. My favorite car that I ever owned. Car had great performance for it's size. Great cruiser on the highway.

Ive owned a 308QV for 20 years and I'm a bit over 6 foot and fit just fine top on or off. Also the 3.0 QV is the same engine as the 328 except for .2 more of displacement.

This is the one only bettered by the convertible. Raced one at Riverside and other western tracks in the ‘80’s. Tossable, perfectly balanced. A great drive to the track racer. It and the 65 mustang are the ONLY actual factory sport cars. All the rest are ponderous manatees that could not beat the European BMW 3.0’s, minis and Jags of the era. Wanna drive? Start here.

Beautiful car, put not much hp.

I like seeing vehicles like this with original equipment. So many of them have been "upgraded" that it makes stock stuff a unique change of scenery.

needs Big Smog pump sold seperately at B&M 144 Roots Supercharger Ford Bought them out Made it so you couldnt get parts for them

Good news l just finished restoring my 80 Z28 too sell l like those prices

Wrong box for the transmission..

People have more money than brains, that car a few years ago was a 60K car at most.

I just purchased a 1993 with 23k miles concourse con and paid £34.000 in the uk, apparently there is only about 36 registered on the UK roads at present. Enjoy both of yours Bruv you got it at a bargain price.

Very nice driving video and good content, thank you for sharing this!.....Have a similar 6.9, built in very late 1979 with ABS and the pretty rare electrical rear seat. Price tag of mine was with options 90.000,- DM, that's double the price of a well fitted 350 SE!...The famous M 100 engine was exclusively developed in 1958 just for the mighty 600 Grosser. It is in principle the template for the smaller V8's 350 and 450 and later V8's in the W126. It exists even a worldwide M 100 club....Another interesting info about the hydro pneumatic suspension. It was standard for the 6.9 but you could order it also for the smaller V8's as an option, but as far as I could find out, nobody did that :-). ...and lastly another interesting thing about the ABS anti lock breaking system which was launched for all W116's in 1978. Only 200 out of totally 7380 produced 6.9 were ordered with ABS! Price tag could not be the reason, because a 6.9 was anyway very expensive. Reason was that the wealthy owners were sceptical about such a modern breaking technology and had often the opinion: " Our Chauffeur brakes better than such a weird gadget" 😂.....Best regards from Germany

That's a gorgeous car and it's obviously in terrific condition. Love that body style..it runs as it should for the year model. A friend of mine had a brown 81 with the 305 and 4 speed trans and it ran strong..and much like yours rode very well..thank you for sharing you wonderful ride with us. It takes me back in time to some great memories..God bless

Krásné auto!

Chevrolet managed to get sharp creases in sheet metal that other manufacturers just couldn't at the time, not even within GM I don't think

Other than one 1982 Z / 28 in Punxsutawney Pa that was special ordered with a 350 four BBL carburetor engine, 81 was the last year for the LT 1 350 4 bolt mains engine in the Camaro until the second generation 350 engine in 86, piece of crap. The engine blocks were mostly all .030 tin content blocks. So although the factory stock engine was a turd, new pistons, cam, heads, intake and exhaust was all it took to make it run. Ditch the 2:73 gears for 3:42 or 3:73 and you had a car no one else could touch. Koni shocks, Addco sway bars, Eibach springs, American Racing mags and TA radial tires and you were ready to take on most anyone stop light to light. Shift kit in the tranny and some better brake pads and you could take it to Mid Ohio and keep up with the people with actual race cars.. This was the formula Bob Bondurant used for his driving school.

My favourite car ever. Nice to see one stock, unmolested.

You should have told us how tall you are...

The 442 was its own model in 1970. It's not a Cutlass 442.

Great video. I’m about to pick one up. California truck with dual side gas tanks (total of three). 1972 was still early for the gasoline shortage of the 1970’s. If I recall that was 1974?I think after people had to look for gasoline and wait until odd or even days to buy, the idea of extra tanks became popular. I think the extra tanks are after market or they could have been a dealer option. The seller wants real money for it but it’s a sweet truck. Every things works. I don’t mind paying a bit more for an exceptional vehicle. There are cheaper ones out there but when you find the right car it’s best to just get it. Asking price is $22k. Camper delux original paint/good patina. All new interior done correctly. Maybe I’m paying too much but this one has been taken care of. Take care, MH

That’s an easy question, a car is worth whatever a person is willing to pay for it.

Back in the early 2000's my father bought this 1989 pontiac pace car and absolutely loved it, we would always go to car shows together and it would be the only one there. He ended up selling it and buying a 1987 buick grand national that had a built engine. I got to experience both of these cars as a kid and i will never forget them.

You bought this car for its looks and coolness, not for performance.

Fabulous car - fellow 6.9 owner here. Your car is especially rare as it is a 1980 model in Manganese Brown Metallic - one year only for a 6.9. Looks like it is in fabulous condition too, awesome video, thanks for sharing.

What is the color code on the exterior paint?

That is an awesome story I have some other Mercedes videos out there have been restoring my 300 6.3 can’t wait to get it back on the road thanks for watching

That's one BEAUTIFUL automobile sir!❤... I believe your correct on the price because I remember growing up in Savannah, GA. and we got our first Mercedes dealer in 1979, I was 11. My father and I used to LOVE browsing dealer lots on the weekends and of course our new Mercedes-Benz dealer was no exception. We saw this absolutely GORGEOUS gray 450SEL on the showroom floor and the sticker in the window said $48,995.00... I remember that number to the penny because of my father's reaction for the remainder of the day 😂😂😂... Needless to say, I learned the meaning of the phrase "sticker shock". Been a huge fan of them since. Thank you for sharing! 💯👍🏿

A: no. It’s not your father’s Cadillac, because it belonged to your grandfather to make himself feel sporty in his old age. B: The 1995 Eldorado model was a refresh year. For 1997, the new Deville Concours was bumped up to 300 HP. The new 98’ Seville STS followed. Which means for 1999, the Eldorado ETC put out 300 HP as well. Not 295.

Love that pontiac

May ‘24 I wonder how much he wants for it. I got the first $25k, just wondering how much beyond my price he can sell it. 😅

No Sunroof ! Would look for another one

Bring Pontiac back

Old Ferrari's are like Lulu Lemon stretch pants for women, not for everyone.

I wasn't expecting it to be worth that much. I just bought one for $5,000 it has a blown head gasket and needs a new paint job but still.

Klockworks twice a day 10 AM and 10 PM

Better get after it!

Every Chevelle did not start as a Malibu, there were 300's, Concourse, Malibu(s) and Super Sports. They did not start out as one ting and turn into something else. Flapper hood also not true on every Super Sport, there is an SS hood and a cowl induction hood.. You should really check your facts there are literally thousands of Chevelles out there that are just Chevelles, Malibu is a trim option. What about a Heavy Chevy, did that start out as a Malibu, uh no...

And the best part!? My daily driver is a 1974 K/20 Suburban!
