    The first car my grandmother ever bought was a 1937 Chevy Deluxe. She bought it used in 1948 for 185 dollars. She's told me many times that if she would've known that her grandson was going to be into old cars she would've kept it and gave it to me when I turned 18.

      Obviously, you get that kind of thing ahead of time assuming it will need those things. I've seen Derek do that before on youtube. Besides someone had be working on the car recently. Maybe the parts came with the car. As for sitting on the grass. No one said he found the car there. Clearly it was in the previous owner's barn or something. Although there are some gullible people who might have thought the car was sitting there on that lawn for 30 years.
      But let's not act as if any of it, youtube cable streaming or whatever is actually completely real. It's the entertainment business.

      I turned off the video after that, so it's untelling how much more contrived BS was on there.

    • @earlbrown
      @earlbrown 6 месяцев назад +1

      This video was a sham, so it was a setup.
      Old cars don't sit for decades and just magically have freshly painted engines with brand new distributors. Along with new brake lines installed and bled. (that's when I turned off the video, so I don't know how much pre-planned BS was after that). Then the gas tank that's vented to the atmosphere just happens to have zero water in it and zero rust and varnish.
      This video was nothing more than a cash grab for watch minutes with some airtime for O'Reilly Auto Parts. MotorTrend has really went downhill since they got greedy and starting trying to milk viewers for every nickle they can get.

      @@pecktox, Chevrolet used this engine up until 1967 in the US and it was still manufactured in Brazil until 1979. So they are not that hard to find. The Toyota F series engine is based on the Chevrolet design. It was still used up until 1986.

      Yep, those old stove bolts are pretty easy to find parts for. At least when I was messing with the 216/235’s in my old 5-window Chevy
