Rip to the old fella that passed that owned all them goodies, his whole life right there
That's right. I read about him, and he was quite a guy.
The Packard is a 1950 23rd series club coupe. It has a 288 straight eight.
48 Packard doesn't have hood hinges, There is a release on each side of the dash. The hood lifts from one side or the other. Or you can release both and lift the whole hood off.
I would much rather restore that Packard then four Fords or Chevrlets of any age. That was when they used real true steel to build a car. And that Engine was the same engine used in Army Trucks, Tanks and even some Aircraft.
Great deal! I love those cars, they're simple, get great mileage and very well made! It's an awesome little rig right down to the original Geo radio and A/C. Take good care of it!
Right on, and the radio still works!
I don't know what they call it there but in the UK it's called the Suzuki 'Swift' Easy to work on, reliable and economical, get it cleaned up and pop to the shops every day for a month on one gallon of fuel. Edit* The timing belt should have a plastic cover over it.
Thanks Richard and Christina. For the Auction. Glad you got the GM Metro. Should be able to clean it up. Service it out and Flip it easily. Thanks for sharing!
❤️💯👊👍
That's the plan Terry! Thanks!
If I am correct, it is very difficult to get parts here in the states for this car. It may become
a real challenge to buy replacement parts. Best to you. 😊😊
Very unique car. Cool grocery getter. You got a great deal on that car! It wouldn't take much to make it look good either! Also, my mom worked at a Packard dealer in Buffalo, NY back in the day. I remember going to the dealer and looking at the new Packards. Great memories. Thanks for taking us to the auction!
Glad you liked in Ronald. Auctions are almost always fun, as long as I keep my hand down.
Cool Metro! I had forgotten about these! I think the best thing you could do with it is to try and put it as much back to "like new" as possible! (without breaking the bank) ! 😁
itll be a great little runner mates
I enjoyed watching your video. Especially your acknowledgement of the Packards and Geo cars.
Glad you liked it.
Congratulations on your purchase
If you don't have a direct use for it yourself, then tidy it up and sell it, giving you hopefully more to spend on vehicles that do interest you. Maybe it might be something that might appeal to someone for a swap? You might be well served in getting the exhaust back to something a bit less noisy.
Congrats on your acquisition and best of luck. You pilot it extremely well.
Cool auction and a cool little car with AC you done good Richard
Just like with Vegas, A lot of people make Drag Cars or Hot Rods out of the Chevettes.
If I'm not mistaken Richard Those Geos got 54 miles to the gallon
Love that Packard ❤
Me, too. I cannot understand why they destroyed the four door as the body is far too heavy to be a good racer.
I had a Suzuki samurai with a 3cyl engine that thing ran like a top and never a minute of trouble.
I remember when these cars were new. My sister in law had a Geo Storm and they were the talk of the town at that time, late 80s, early 90s. Geo was a partnership between Chevrolet/GM, Isuzu, Toyota and Suzuki. They were sold through Chevrolet dealers. Their tag line was "Get to know Geo" They called it GM's "world car" and they sold really well until the early 2000s. Chevy then removed the "Geo" name from all the models and just started calling them "Chevrolet"....for example, this car went from "Geo Metro" to "Chevrolet Metro" ......and in fact, if you look at the badge on the hood, it has a little tiny Chevy bow tie right in the center. Overall their popularity declined and Chevy phased them out. But it's definitely an interesting piece of automotive history. Very cool acquisition Richard! I'd hang on to it. You might need it when gas prices go back up again, which unfortunately they are predicted to do. Speaking of Suzuki, the Geo version of the Samurai was the Tracker. And it had the same rollover issue as the Samurai did. Thanks for sharing, Richard and Christina! Congratulations!
That's good info David. Thank you! I remember the Samurai and tracker. Those rode so poorly, and the Tracker was just plain ugly. The Samurai has quite a following now.
Lol not gonna buy one and brings one home😂❤
My friend had one with a turbo on it. It wasn't fast but it could keep up with traffic and made fun noises.
Auctions love them
I liked that Packard around 34:12
Looks like the one from Back to the Future... Doc Brown's car...
Awesome buy Richard! they're Called Suzuki Swifts here in New Zealand and massively popular fir their MPGs . I recon you should find some mags and fatter tyres for it! I have seen a few on the road here!!
Hey Richard, Rustoleum has giant turbo can paint out with a very wide spray pattern, that little Geo is a perfect candidate for a scuff and driveway paint job.
I think it's awesome!~ I have an '86 Chevette, but it's an automatic 4 door~ I prefer the Chevette, but both are cool.. especially with a 5 speed!~ Keep it as your shop car that you use to pick up parts, or to drive to work on vehicles~ You could save a ton in fuel costs!~
Right on!
A/C works AND it’s gets 50 mpg ‼️ Sweet
I wonder if, with a few modifications, u could push cars around with that 😮
The hood opens from the side , like a old buick.
I was wondering about that. Thanks for the info!
Love it! She’s got curves but I wish it was a different color. 👍
The only thing that gets close to that mpg of that geo is a 85 190 d Mercedes , 5spd with the 2.2 diesel . I owned one for a couple years and had a long lively motor . 45 mpg consistently , I was always looking at the gas gauge not for empty but an utter disbelief I didn’t need to fill er up
Looks like you bought a new grocery getter Richard. 👍🇨🇦
That was a lot of good deals.
Yes, just about everything sold was a good deal.
Love those little cars. Yea they get awesome fuel mileage and If well maintained the engines last forever. You got one nice deal there.
This one does seem to have been maintained. Even at 260K it doesn't seem to have mechanical issues. Thanks for watching!
Nice I think it would be a great parts runner for you very cheap to run into town plus errands
The geo that got 54 mpg was the metro Lsi with fuel injection from what I remember the one I drove got around 30 mpg it was all around town driving
I had a 91 , it was so gutless and slow but had just enough power to get down the road and got crazy mileage. Give it an at home paint job and some seat covers and flip it ?
Keep it use it for local trips or long trips , at 50 miles per gal. I would keep it.😊
Keep the trips short. Those Metros will beat the shit out of your back at about 100 miles.😊
The Metro you bought is almost a twin to the one I bought brand new back in the early 2000? Paid around 6,500. for it , 3cyl., radio delete, 3 sp. on the floor same dark blue color. I worked at GM and was teased about buying a foreign car (was made in Canada) like you said Szuki engine. Fun to drive but those 13 inch tires and size of the car scared me so I did not have it long! (50 plus miles to a gallon) One liter motor!
Thanks
The GEO Metro is actually a re-badged Suzuki Swift
Right on thats one glory go kart I love it drive it to the parts house to get parts for other projects then your truck cheaper on the fuel bill
Absolutely. I could save a lot in gas every week.
Detail and flip
That's what we call a Suzuki Swift here in Europe, ours were mostly made in Hungary of all places (they made them in quite a few countries). You can still find those here in Austria and a good one goes for €1500-€2000 with a valid inspection sticker (unless it's a cabrio or the Gti which are collectors items now). Service it and use as an everyday car, the money you save on fuel could go towards the Chevs!
Right on!
First gen S10 4 cylinder 5 spd another vehicle I used to drive when I worked at Napa no radio no a/c
Excellent video Christina :) , Richard :) I surprises the shape Packard Beige color was in one went for amazing me and that McCormick- International tractor be a B414 from 1963 to 1968 be British made in Liverpool England 37 to 47 hp with about 90 torque 4 cylinder motor 153 Cubic Inches but bore up 162 Cubic Inches , Low + High gears 2 Reverse gears and 5 forward to make 10 !

Seeing your beautiful wife on screen brightens the whole show. It is sad RUclips does not make and sell Calendars of the Beautiful ladies that support teir husbands in these hobbies.
Clutch pedal has a lock
32:08 I love those blazers 👍
Right, and that one was very nice. No doubt it wasn't stored outside.
Can't go wrong with a $600. geo metro with A/C and no leaks and not overheating. Great $1,500. to $1,800. deal.
Thanks, I agree.
I have question re the auction. When some of those cars have no Titles from an auction. It seems it would be a hassle to get a replacement to register it. In Ny it’s amazing pain . What’s the process?
It isn't difficult in TN if the vehicle has not been tagged in 20+ years. It is also possible to get a title via a certificate of ownership if the vehicle is over 30 years old and sold for less than $3,000. That is a simple process.
Thst Packard was very sweet. Would of loved to see that ride come back to life. I have no idear on that metro, lol. Great video both of you.
Thank you my friend. Would love to catch up with you guys,
@@morewhattherust let us know when you have some time, miss you both in a big way, we love you both.
The Mustang was a quite a good deal, i guess.
Wow 2,6k for the Packard, thats insane, a steal😮
The Suzukis/Geos are dependable little runners.
@@tellysavalas2966 Looking back, I should have bid on that Mustang. Big mistake there.
@@whattherust it was sweet.
I think the belt is supposed to be covered
Check the undercarriage. Had one and the front end rusted out and collapsed while driving the passenger wheel broke off and jammed into the fender.Luckily only going 10 miles per hour. Would have died if happened at higher speed. Be careful and check for hidden suspension rust.
I'll check it. Thanks for the tip.
Definitely check the frame at the A-Arm connection for sure. It was their weak point.
Perhaps next time your camera could be aimed above the steering wheel? The scenery looked nice, but our forward view was centered on the top of the steering wheel on the trip home. Good luck with the Geo.
You're right. Next time I'll have it higher up.
You know if you had bought the Packard and trailered it up to the East Coast you could've flipped it for 10,000 easy.
I used to have a '50 Packard like that one except mine was solid black. A really great car. I left it with family when I went off to Basic Training and when I came back some low life kids had broken into it and totally destroyed the interior., I had to sell it because I didn't have time before my next assignment to try to fix any of it. I hope hard karma followed those brats everywhere they went. That hood opens from either side so it would be leaning to one side or the other. If you pulled both latches the entire hood would come off.
Very cool, Richard. I was wondering about that hood, but I didn't see any latches on the side like Buicks have. I must have just missed them.
Take it back
is that a 93 or 95 model
Bro you need to wash and paint it!!!!!!!
Hey Ric, is it gutless on hills, or not those are cute on those days. What about Christina? What did she say about that!
Well, at first she didn't believe I bought it, but she got used to the idea after reading up on how many people like these tiny cars. We are having fun with it already.
@morewhattherust somehow I don't see you driving those types of cars. Trucks or SUV's maybe how did you feel driving that? Buy the way I'm a big fan of yours. Watching you for years.
@@dalegratz Thank you for the support, Dale! It was a fun drive, but I'd never use it as my daily driver. I like it because it is unique, particularly the 3 cylinder engine.
Bring's back memories of when I drove a metro all around the town.
Is that a Dodge maxi van ?
I didn't see one there, but there may have been.
Love that Fox 🦊 Body Mustang 🐎
I regret not bidding on it. It was very cool, and went cheap. That small block Ford engine was worth the sale price all by itself.
Do a budget cleanup on it and flip that puppy. Maybe double or triple your money. Take that money and use it for the channel.😊
Right on!
Please Fix it up on a budget of course.
That Packard is a really nice example of one. There aren't too many two door coupes left anymore.
Right, I don't remember the last time I saw a 2 door.
Wuldnt even got that packard if it were free. What deals on the race cars. Like the little beater you bought. 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice video I didn't even know you had a second channel
Thanks! I have not done a good job getting the second channel out there.
Clean it up, do the maintenance necessary to assure it’s safe and sell it to a young girl looking for her first ride. (1500)
Right on.
Where I am you couldn't touch thar camaro for less than 20k
Right, that Camaro was a good deal.
That 2dr Packard is cool, got to admit I have never seen a coupe like that. Someone to going have an awesome car when done. I love how you stated, " I'm not interested in a Geo Metro", and then take one home. Thats what's so fun but going to an auction, yea just don't know what you might be taking home, cool. I have a friend, that bought a brand-new Metro, he drove that car for years, they were cheap little cars, super good on gas and very reliable, kind of like the old VW bug. Thanks for the video
That's right! I had no idea I'd ever by one, and then, boom, I am an owner. Thanks for watching!
clean the degusting interior and drive a little we sanding with 1500 will do wonders
I have one
Well of course you are crazy but now days you got to be and well a good cleaning would help that car out a lot and then I say you could make a profit by selling it
ITS OBVIOUS YOU DONT BUY AND SELL TRAILERS..... THAT RED ONE WAS CHEAP.....
A friend of the family had a chevtte with a diesel engine which sat in his garage for like 5 years it would not start he gave it to his brother at some point just to get rid of the dam thing.
Get a second job delivering pizza's, i've been looking for one of those but never ran acrossed one. You could drive around the back roads looking for all those 50's chevy's.
Funny stuff! It would make a good pizza delivery car.
I used to drive a geo metro as a delivery vehicle when I worked at Napa 3 cylinder automatic my boss took the passenger seat out and the back rest of the back seat so I could carry more parts it was a complete turd it started falling apart in a couple months it was a 91 model I believe.
Clean it up and do a giveaway to people who buy ur merch
Good for you Richard 😁 only thing I recommend is to replace the timing belt and clean it up and enjoy all the money 💰💰💰💰 you will be saving on Gas ⛽
Thanks Robert. I'll be fixing it up a bit on a tight budget so not too crazy. I am liking the car more each day,
@@morewhattherust Awesome
I daily drive a Geo car so i know all about them. Mine is the Toyota Corolla equivilent, the Geo Prizm, which has been the best car i have ever owned. I get 38 miles per gallon on the highway and can sometimes push 40 if i drive it like a baby. The Metros do have a cult following for just the reason that Richard stated. They can get over 50+ mpg on the stick models and with today's gas prices, EVERYONE is trying to buy them up. They have the Suzuki 3 cylinder motor which is mediocre at best but they are easy to work on and rebuild so technically if the engine ever blows up, you can have it rebuilt for $750.00 and be back on the road again. They came in 3 door and 5 door hatchbacks and a 4 door sedan. The holy grail, which you won, is the 3 door, with a stick shift and the XFI model which was tuned for extra fuel economy. Yours even has the optional air conditioning. Even with 260,000 + miles you could flip that car for $2,000 or more easily. Like i said, that's the exact model and configuation that everyone wants.
That is great info! It seems I lucked into the most desirable model. Thank you very much.
That's stupid for the amount of money that wasted to chop up and ruin to make that 69 camaro and race car he could have put it back to original car
out of all those vehicles and you pick the ugliest worst vehicle you can find...but it was prob the cheapest so i guess that why
You should have bought that 69 camaro and had a better project car instead of that ugly little blue
