Anytime you put THAT much fuel, you’re almost guaranteed a fire. ALSO!! Any time you see a fire Caroline, DONT stop cranking the engine!!! It pulls down the flame, and dries out remaining fuel, and puts out the fire!!.. Great score on the Vette, we all are jealous, I would rip out the Auto and install a Correct M22, faster then you could say Non Numbers Matching!.. :) keep us posted on the progress, this is a real gem, that needs to be returned to its original configuration, and un bolt that hard to hack job someone did, back when Roller Skating and bad taste ruled the day!!! lol..
@@HHWheels Hey y'all.. We watch you from the other side of ocean Europe since you got that crazy 'Vette with crazy red/ silver paint on and now if you scored this one (sad the owner passed away may his soul rest in heaven) i just try to suggest you to keep the cool scheme on this hard top as it is (here we think it looks cool like that maybe you will not use it anyway in rain) and just focus to paint the rest of this older 'vette maybe metallic or pearl blue to match the hard top if anytime feel the need to see it again with the hard top on at least to match its look.. please get some cool exhaust pipes.. anyway whatever you will choose to do we will definitely still watch.. be blessed both of you !!! 💢💢💢💢
Good find. That vintage paint job is killer and the vintage hop up parts, like an Offenhauser intake is super cool. C2 Corvette is def one of my bullet list/unobtanium cars. Caroline, you fit perfectly in it too...
At this point it's unknown it its an automatic or manual. The console and arm rest pad should be interior color matching leaving it highly suspect what the car transmission was originally
Juicy fruit was very popular when I was a child because it seemed to have different flavors but when you mix them I suppose it's acquired taste Remember huba buba? All the kids where trying to blow bubbles lol Ah the good ol days 😂
Aw man leavin right on a cliffhanger, just as it was starting to make some noise! lol Awesome video, and that car is absolutely killer! Cant wait for part 2!!
I was surprised you tried to rotate the motor when it had sat for so long. Seems like a good way to break a ring. I thought you might pull the plugs and squirt the cylinders with atf and whatever mixture and then work the crank back and forth as much as it would allow. Cool vette for sure!
Yall are quite the TEAM...hope to raise my girlies knowing what to do in and around the horsepowers that be. My Pops has a 67' Vette and we've spent my entire life tinkering on it from time to time. Love the ol Stingrays!! ❤❤❤
Nice find. A c2 is one my bucketlist to. Doesn't need to be numbers matching. Prices are going nuts but a lot are still in garages or barns. The market acts like they are drying up
Cool show!! Don't forget to check frame kickups body mounts and birdcage. You also lose your tach when doing the HEI conversion unless you get one with a tach drive. I personally keep all mine with the original points.
Watching all the way to the end., I do have to in fact agree. this is one HOT car! Flaming hot! In fact. Facts is facts. 🔥👍 I can't wait to see part Twa.
Kent, Washington is right on an estuary in the state. The car has been in a very wet state by salt water. Yet even the metal bit aren't all crap. Very cool!
The previous owner of the car lived about a mile and a half from me, naturally he wasn't the first owner. I do remember the car though and don't believe it was ever a "California Car" before he had it. Of course you could still Dream it was. LOL. Forrest was a drag racer and after the car was sold he had a few different race cars. He eventually moved up to a Funny Car that he raced up in the northwest at many tracks in the 1990's to mid 2000. So it was by chance that I saw this video and then remembered a vette in my neighborhood that looked like it - so I watched the video... to then see Stan's name on the reg you found in the glove box. wow ! Hope you two build it the way YOU want to, and unless by checking the VIN and other Numbers find out it was something rare, Enjoy it !
Corvette are cool and all, but my favorite is 70 chevelle! I’ve own bout 20 in 56 years on earth then they went crazy I can’t afford one now lol enjoy your all content a lot
Nice car and good job getting it ready to run. I know you said that it had many different parts but I thought add that he hood is ‘67 (that’s an obvious one) but the seats are’66. I had a ‘65 and the seats had 3 large pleats. Good luck!
Too bad you guys aren't doing that here in North Alabama! I have a SBC 409 torque monster sitting on a stand, and a freshly built M21 close ratio (AutoGear Super case, steel midplate, hubs and sliders matched by Paul Cangiolosi for me) Muncie that would just fit that car. Loving your channel, by the way.
That is my dream car. Always wanted a 65 or 66. Blue would be a great choice. Keep the interior factory. But you have to paint that 70s street freak paint in the whole car.
Hi again from Norway. You didnt find a 4 speed transmisjon with housing snd clutch in that garage. I have a 66 chevy ll prosject and a 36 Ford V8 prosject to. But im wrenching building harley/choppers so the cars ends as nr 2 thing. Keep on working, i like your channel😊
@@HHWheels My mom's husband restored a Vette about 30 yrs ago. I can't remember if it was a 65 or 66. He also restored a 57 Bel Air!! He really loved taking them both to shows. I think he got the most attention for the Chevy, but he LOVED the Corvette. He never let me drive it - hahaha BUT I did ride in it and it was cool as s#!t !! He is getting on in age and he can't really get around any more so he passed them on to his kids. I see the joy that happens when you all restore these beauties - it is awesome! Can't wait to see how the vet turns out. (Too bad it's an automatic - but it will still look like a beast when you are done.)
Man i love these tings, just an awesomely gorgeous looking 😍 sports car. I was offered one when i was 19, im now 53 so 6 years ago 🤔 🤫. Lol It was the one with the split rear window. It was his widow that offered it to me not really knowing what it's importance was, she knew it was worth money but not exactly. She offered it to me for $5000 😮. It had been sitting in a shed for 20+ years. 100% original and 100% complete. Even if i had the money at the time i still wouldn't have purchased it for $5k I told her what it was worth and almost had a heart attack lol. I was an apprentice spray painter at the time so i was only on $127.00 a week. I still think about it from time to time just wondering where it ended up. Id hate to think what it's worth now. At the time it almost looked new apart from 6 inches of dust. Lol Id say even with the 45+ years of dust to date it would have to fetch well over $100k. It had at the time extremely low kms. No 100% sure on kms maybe between 5000 and 30,000. Miles He bought it new, drove it for i think 5 years and then passed away. She wanted 5k because he paid a lot she said. It was the most expensive one on offer at the time. She didn't say how much. It was a 327ci 4speed, white with red interior. Stunning looking vehicle. Man what a car.
I would have bought the sunbeam tiger. They are such rad little cars and the closest I’ll ever get to a cobra lol. I hope that someone saves these classics.
What makes me curious is the hand painted lines on the roof. The car may have more on it. If it doesn't have more hand painting, is the roof art worth saving? It's pretty cool!
crazy...that address in Kent is right down the road from my companies warehouse, and the address in Maple Valley is right down the road from a co-workers house!
I've wanted a Beater Vette for years, will probably never get one. 68-82, faded out paint, chips, worn leather interior. I'd even love an old wide body conversion or one with custom glass work
I am so happy for you both for having so far good luck with the 65 corvette it's a really cool car and I noticed that you hh is out of South Carolina and I live here in Massachusetts but a few years ago I visited Greer South Carolina for two weeks what part of SC is H&H out of ur friend Rocky Benedetto
As soon as I saw the shift lever I knew it was converted to auto. It has a clutch pedal so no big deal to convert it back to a stick. I know an all original car might be worth more but this car is a super cool modified car that was probably done in the '70s. I'd keep that look and just have a blast with it. Original cars are boring anyways!
This car would be super cool to put a super charged small block and 5 speed in……… it’s already been super modded so you’re not going to hurt its value……… those big block hoods are expensive if I remember correctly
@@HHWheels it’s more a wish than a want. I have a 40 standard Tudor. 52 Ford 8BA, c4 auto kinda restomod. 3rd owner. Bought it from 2nd owner who had it for 43 years!
I noticed Immediately when you said that the interior was original that the console and arm rest are wrong. They both should be interior matching color. So when you discovered its an automatic I was not surprised. I also noticed on your first shift attempt that there you go, its an auto
Get rid of the automatic transmission and get a tremec 5 speed. The engine looks like a 327, high horse. I would also delete the side exhaust for noise purposes.
Put a tkx in that California dreamin’ morehaulin mulholland dr canyon carver! They are awesome you would have to put one in anyway if you were going to drive it! Just put one in a Shelby kept the old trans for prosperity but if you’re going to drive it you have to have overdrive no way around it!
It's crazy back in 1980 I was living not too far from Kent, WA and driving a 1970 Red 442 Convertible. Washington State has some pretty good old cars! Something I was thinking is keep the old artwork paint and kind of antique or not perfect the main body paint to work with what's still there. So maybe intentionally try to not be all that perfect but make it look like a decent aged old hotrod! Improve it but don't make it too good! Anyhow that is my two cents worth for what it's worth!
As soon as I saw that hood, I'd have wanted to establish what year the car is... because that hood is for a 67 427. As soon as I saw the seats, I recognized them as 1967 only. But, the fender louvers are for 65-66. The area above the rear license plate would have a rectangular back up light, if it was originally a 67. Hard telling how many times this car has been wrecked and put back together with pieces of several different cars, thus all the different colors on different parts of the car, and the flared fenders. The registration form did have the VIN for the car on it, and the number "5" before the "S" would indicate 1965. After seeing all of that, I'd have gone looking for the hidden serial number that's stamped on top of the frame. I went thru much of what I just said... with one I bought as a 67, with a 67 title, without looking at the trim tag. After getting it home I discovered that the trim tag indicated it was a 66. Come to find out it was originally a 67, but had been stolen... and someone tried to disguise it as a 66... and used the trim tag and title from a junked 66 to sell it 2 times. Ultimately the FBI examined the car's hidden serial number, which fortunately matched my title. Lesson learned... always compare the title with the serial number and trim tag on the car... just for starters... and if you're paying a lot for the car, and/or expect to sell it for a good amount... bring a Corvette expert along with you.

Add the 4 speed and don't touch the roof
And the Euro Mercedes would fetch good money depending on the model 😊
Lt Dan says keep the automatic .
Good find. That vintage paint job is killer and the vintage hop up parts, like an Offenhauser intake is super cool.
C2 Corvette is def one of my bullet list/unobtanium cars.
Caroline, you fit perfectly in it too...
Please keep the videos coming so underrated should have million subscribers
She definitely deserves the 4 speed to be put back in.
She's going to be beautiful when she's done.
At this point it's unknown it its an automatic or manual. The console and arm rest pad should be interior color matching leaving it highly suspect what the car transmission was originally
California + Corvette + cool as hell peeps = legendary!!! Love this and looking forward to this epic journey guys!! Keep it going! Love ya! ❤🙌🤘
Can't go wrong with a Corvette! Can't wait to see it when it's done!
Well done!
Ya'll have some big hearts
I'm sure it helped that woman selling it as well!!
Bravo to you two!
Probably the only car you can pull out of a normal size garage with the hood open
Well obviously not but that made me nervous watching that 😂
Juicy fruit was very popular when I was a child because it seemed to have different flavors but when you mix them I suppose it's acquired taste
Remember huba buba?
All the kids where trying to blow bubbles lol
Ah the good ol days 😂
Nice shirt btw!
Richard has a nickname also
I love seeing a dad having fun with there kid .she's the young lady I wish I had❤
That’s my girl! 👍
Not a Chevy guy, but really loving Jims C20 sitting back there.
It's needs to be a 4x4, it be a 10 plus,
Favorite youtube channel to watch about cars. Smart move to save the corvette bring it back to life 🙌
I have gotten old and lost my ability to work on cars like I used to thank you for making y'all's shows I look forward to checking them all out
We are so glad you enjoy watching!! More fun cars to come :)
What a car! Can't wait to see it completed. Good on y'all for taking it on and bringing it back to the road.
Aw man leavin right on a cliffhanger, just as it was starting to make some noise! lol Awesome video, and that car is absolutely killer! Cant wait for part 2!!
Good to see that you use what I use to clean my vehicles, Simple Green and the 303 products.......Very nice find.
Yeah, those are our go-to products too!
This is one of my favorite cars I’m glad you guys are reviving this car It is a heart breaker that it is a automatic
You guys are going to have a lot of fun in this car. Can't wait to hear it fire to life. Keep up the good work. This is one of those bucket list cars.
what a kool project.im liking it
Love your videos
and the camaraderie. Keep on giving.
Roger that! Thx for watching!
Jim has an amazing garage. all the monster heads and vintage stuff.
I was surprised you tried to rotate the motor when it had sat for so long. Seems like a good way to break a ring. I thought you might pull the plugs and squirt the cylinders with atf and whatever mixture and then work the crank back and forth as much as it would allow. Cool vette for sure!

Family that’s wrenches together stays together 👍👍👍
Love watching you guys working together. Reminds me of my dad and me when he was alive
Thanks for another awesome episode . . . . and cliffhanger! These are some much fun to watch.
I'm liking the fender flairs on the Vette.
Nice find. A c2 is one my bucketlist to. Doesn't need to be numbers matching. Prices are going nuts but a lot are still in garages or barns. The market acts like they are drying up
Love to see your enthusiasm for cars. That old corvette is cool
More to come!
Another awesome video Caroline and James. And you absolutely must put a 4 speed back into that vette.
I Seen that 3rd Pedal Ya got to put it back 4 Speed No Doubt This Car is Off the Chain Cool New Sub Here
Should be a great rig when it's finished, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Already waiting for next episode 🤩 some day I'll find something that cool too🥳
That Juicy fruit be like baseball card gum!! 🤣🤣 Great find on the 65 #HHWHEELS
Cool show!! Don't forget to check frame kickups body mounts and birdcage. You also lose your tach when doing the HEI conversion unless you get one with a tach drive. I personally keep all mine with the original points.
Good advice! We are definitely going to be checking that! Thanks for the tips!
25:32 i love the old South Carolina tag hanging up in the Ca garage..
Yup, Jim and I grew up together in South Carolina, he moved to Cali in 1991.
@@HHWheels 91 is the year I graduated HS in Aiken SC.
Man, I'd love to see the rest of the car painted to match that roof in true 70's street freak style. Awesome car!
You guys need to make a deal on that rotating bolt bin. Thing is just cool!
Watching all the way to the end., I do have to in fact agree. this is one HOT car! Flaming hot! In fact. Facts is facts. 🔥👍 I can't wait to see part Twa.
you have a awesome car there fantastic find she is a beauty cannot wait to hear it roar well done you guys see you in part 2 great video
Thanks 👍
Super video lacher pas !
Hello from Moosomin,Saskatchewan,Canada you have great videos and great at communicating. Thanks for sharing. 😊😊😊😊
Thank you! 😃
My favorite show to watch!☺
this video got me yearning for my dream car again (which will stay in the dream status) a 63-split window.
She's a good looking lady.That has a brain to go with the looks.Dads pretty cool also. Thanks you guys.
Dale Jr been looking for that 76 ball for years and wham right there hahs
What an absolute jem you have gotten your hands on...!!
Kent, Washington is right on an estuary in the state. The car has been in a very wet state by salt water. Yet even the metal bit aren't all crap. Very cool!
What, a cliffhanger??-lol😅 seriously, Congrats on the cool score, we'll be watching to see what you guys do with it! 🎉🎉
Awesome!!!
Thank you! Cheers!

Great video looking forward to the next one
Coming soon!

I'm highly envious of you too I'd love to find a project like that my father had 7 vets Uber 15 years and they're all gone.
thank you for doing that
That car came out of my neighborhood! Pretty cool.
That's awesome! It's a great car for sure.
Nice car and good job getting it ready to run. I know you said that it had many different parts but I thought add that he hood is ‘67 (that’s an obvious one) but the seats are’66. I had a ‘65 and the seats had 3 large pleats. Good luck!
Yes, car is titled as 65. It has some mismatched parts
I love those old corvettes that is sweet.
Too bad you guys aren't doing that here in North Alabama!

My type of fun……love corvettes. Always California dreamin.
I like it…iam watching from Greeze…but iam living in holland❤
That is my dream car. Always wanted a 65 or 66. Blue would be a great choice. Keep the interior factory. But you have to paint that 70s street freak paint in the whole car.
Blue is definitely a great choice 👍
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...! keep the paint work on that top. some amazing art work.
It is definitely one of the highlights of this car! 😎
Nice find
Thx
Hello, watching the video now. ✌🏻
This was fun.
Awesome 👍
Thanks 🤗
Love you two
Love to see pictures where it had that 60'70 paint job.cool car.
Yeah, I would love to know more about this paint job and who painted it!

You didnt find a 4 speed transmisjon with housing snd clutch in that garage.
I have a 66 chevy ll prosject and a 36 Ford V8 prosject to. But im wrenching building harley/choppers so the cars ends as nr 2 thing.

Two great British cars tucked in the corner - a MGB Roadster and a Sunbeam Tiger/Alpine.

It’s for sale!!

What frames are those you are wearing with your glasses they look sharp?
FENDI ✌️

“Did you also get new spark plugs while you were there?”
What are you new here Caroline?! You never make one trip to the parts store when 2 will do! 😂
it's got fender flares which was common for cars in the 70's

I was wondering, why don’t you squirt fuel down the vent tube to the float bowl, so you can fill up the float bowl?
Why don’t you pickle the pistons with diesel and PBBlaster to unsieze. No multi meter at Autozone?
Engine sounds like it may have a few cylinders with pretty stuck rings when you first turned it over it galloped like a thoroughbred
