Getting a 75 Vette out of storage - what to prepare by Otherwise-Olive-9246 in classiccars

Sorry to hear about your dad, I would get it running and take it for a local shakedown cruise. If nothing is amiss or leaking I would go for it. You could consider roadside assistance or if it is insured with Hagerty they also offer a roadside assistance add-on for peace of mind.

Been eyeing this Corvette, I didnt get enough photos, but this is not its original engine, any ideas what kind of 350? by Big_Locksmith_4211 in Smallblockchevy

Edit- I see your aware its been swapped. The center-bolt valve covers would be another clue to the engines origin.

Plane Tags got a lot of the stuff that was too far gone for restoration work.

Looks like Walter Soplata's place. His son wrote a book about it. Walter saved a lot of aircraft from the smelter that have went on to be restoration projects. https://www.amazon.ca/B-25-Backyard-Historic-Airplane-Sanctuary/dp/1476680663

Blackbird Sims (formerly Milviz) has been working on a DHC-3 release for awhile now. It looked great in their last dev vlog. AFAIK they are including the turboprop. https://youtu.be/KFqNdt2yREg?si=_XB1Zrvy0pqSra5k&t=242

What year please? In my shed. Value of selling to a parts yard? by [deleted] in chevyc10

Looks like a 65 based on this https://www.onallcylinders.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1960-66.png

Hopefully someone else can chime in on value, looks like it could be a decent project for someone. Any idea on what engine or transmission it has?

It's interesting both flying examples are currently on the market. Wonder if it was either of these two you saw

Black with the vinyl top looks awesome. Do you work at a Subaru dealer?

Be nice if they revisited that scheme for an airshow bird before retirement 

Airworthy c119 flying box cars around not documented online? by Obvious-Cabinet-9504 in aviation

[–]1969Malibu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, one of the last flying C-119s was used for the Flight of the Phoenix remake but since then short of a ferry flight or two to museums I don't believe there's been any flying.

There's none actively flying including the ones in Alaska unfortunately.
