UNRESTORED, ORIGINAL and RARE - Survivors in the Smokies
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- There was an awesome collection of survivor cars at the Corvette Expo and Chevys in the Smokies event in Pigeon Forge, TN. This event used to JUST be Corvettes, but has expanded to include Chevelle, Camaro, Nova, and other classic Chevys. I loved the collection of survivors on display, including a Z16 Chevelle, two low mileage Super Sport cars, an '80s Street Machine and a record holding Camaro drag car that still wears some old school paint. Others include a '63 Corvette, and the highest mileage '67 Corvette on record. There are a few other bonus clips in there as well, including a vintage stinger hood that I bought to put on my '64 Corvette coupe. Lots of great stuff, hope you enjoy!

Beautiful cars! Love those Malibus and Camaros. 😎 Over 200,000 miles on a classic vette? Amazing! True love of driving! Thanks for sharing!
Great job. I really dig the mag-type wheel covers with redlines. Instantly turns cars of this era into full-size Hot Wheels!
Back in the late 80's, my friend had a '70 'vette with a 454 decked out very similar to that '68 Camaro. The colors were just about the same, the "bass boat" look as I like to call it. I wish I knew who painted that because it's almost identical.
Wow! That was an awesome video. 1 sweet car after another. So many gems, it would be hard for me to pick 1 favorite. I really liked the paint job on the 68 Camaro, loved the 65 Chevelle Z16, loved the green 68 Chevelle with the custom hubcaps. Actually, I think I just loved them all. Lol. Thanks for the video. Thoroughly enjoyed it
The hubcaps on the green 1968 Chevelle are not custom. They were about a $75 option in 66-68. I believe they were standard on the 1965 Z-16's. Thanks for noticing them
That 1968 Chevelle color is stunning. I had never seen a Grecian green painted car. What a stunner. They should bring it back.
Thank you. I'm really knocked out by all these cars - amazing 👍
Just another great day at work for you.
Excellent reporting on some fabulous cars, Tommy!
Very cool stuff. Great to see so many rarities.
The Grecian Green 1968 Chevelle is mine. Thanks for including it. Just as a note, the vinyl top is original also!
Man....those chevelles! Thanks for sharing!
Great presentation of a nice gathering of Survivor cars. More, more, more.
Absolutely gorgeous survivors 👍🇦🇺
Those low mile survivor cars make me shake my head and wonder "why?", the owners couldn't have gotten any joy out of them, probably too scared to race them or park them anywhere other than a car show or their garage, the two worn vettes most likely had very happy owners who got their monies worth.
Two thumbs up bro thanks so much I love seeing awesome cars that sold in that great of shape
Thanks for the coverage of my camaro, we drive it a lot trough the summer. Its showing it's age some, but we enjoy it.
Good job sir
🖤
That Camaro looks like 70's but I guess early 80's too. I painted my brother's 69 Camaro with regal blue firemist in the early 80's, a very popular color at the time, I believe it was a Cadillac color.
I was at that show last year. Great show. The highlight for me was a 67 Chevelle SS396 with what was claimed to have 42 actual miles on it!
Great cars. Great video!
Thanks for em watching Calvin!
Thanks for sharing this!!!
Really enjoyed, thank you
Good stuff, some amazing cars right there.
The cars were beautiful. And the Camaro was nice. That bubble top on the old Vette. I have never seen. Great cars.
Wish I would of know about this. I don't have a survivor SS or 2 door but I have a survivor 1966 Chevelle 4 door hardtop with 82k miles, factory paint, interior and, drivetrain. It's also a family heirloom.
Chris Henry's high mileage car is nice he drove it to Mobile for the NCRS nationals last summer, to Palm Springs the Summer before for the NCRS Nationals, great guy.
My favorite video from you so far. Please do more if you can!!!
Lots of nice cars! I like those 5 spoke mag wheel covers, too.
LOVE that '68! I recently learned that even Buick (along with everyone else) used those Deluxe mag-style wheel covers, complete with a Buick 'crest of shields' center-badge!
And I can't remember ever seeing the Chevelle full wheelcovers with that SS center-badge!! Most are seen with Magnum 500s, or dog dish hub caps.
$4342 wasn't cheap back in the day, but the Z16 was worth it.
I'm guessing those stripes on the hood were done with an airbrush. Very 1970s!
Great stuff buddy!
Great cars👍
Love your commentary. The speed at which you spoke, the numbers of cars themselves and the details. You need to do more of these. Just saying...
"Just saying"🙄
Cool. They are only original once.
I rather enjoy seeing a little bit of wear and tear on these automobiles.
Cool
Thanks for watching!
The two 65 Chevelles: I believe those "little 327s" are the famous L79 350 hp 327!!!
I really like your car show videos. You're good at them, just sayin.
Nice Job
My first car was a 65 Malibu Chevelle 2 door no post 283 power glide
Now I have my Fathers 66 Buick Riviera GS it’s a survivor not running Sence 1979 almost done getting it back on the road soon
Quality
👍👍👍👍
You didn't spend much time with the Yellow or the black 327 Chevelles with as you called them little 327s. I have no idea what 327 is in the Crocus yellow Chevelle you ran by it so fast. But the black one appeared to have an L79 327 350 hp. Of course, we don't know what transmissions were in them. Spend a little time on everything, not just the ones you like.
I know a guy with a rough Corvette
And I bet he’ll never paint it, even though everyone wants him to.
👍😎👍
I have an odd feeling. Your old boss is going to reproduce those wide oval white walls. Then charge $500.00+ per tire.
So, let em. If people want them, they can still buy them
I’ll take the Malibu with the bench seat.
Doesn't get much better
Where are you located
Hey there! Not sure how to contact you about a funny car body for sale... but I'm sure you'd be interested in this one...
My email is byrdrods@yahoo.com.
Hardly a survivor if it was repainted😊
Like donating a kidney to America , so everybody can see the past , for a long time , to the Future !
I'll take a genuine car over the polished turds every time.
Many are NOT original condition at all.
Real cars, drive them please!
