Personal observations on the Parker 12 gauge "Boat Anchors"

[JAMES HALL]

Todd didn't that gal buy you a pretty nice V grade 20 gauge about 20 years ago?

Here we are on a dove hunt, after the morning shoot;

Yes she did. She bought me a "new" gun for Christmas every year.
I got horse-traded out of the little Parker at a moment of weakness.

BTW, my older brother took the shot of the Corvette out the driver's window of a pretty nice 71 340 Cuda.
I wish we had a camera on board to take the return shot.

Todd I like the side exhaust, what was under the hood may I ask

[Dean Romig]

Looks like a 427 from here....

I am thinking that is a small block hood. The big block Stingrays had a much more pronounced hood "stinger" and air "scoop". And it is a 1967 model year I think, but can't really see the side panels well enough to say for sure.

[todd allen]

It had the original 327. The 427 had the Stinger Hood. Later, I put a built 350 in it, but saved the original motor.
Wife and I toured the Pacific Coast all the way to San Francisco in that car. The PCH is a lot of fun in an open top sports car!
Wish I still had that one.

You still have "that one" Todd and she has been a terrific find for you. Certainly no boat anchor.
All the best

Todd, so you sold that great car? My Dad sold what would have been my first Corvette while I was a teenage, and The Lovely Linda has made me sell every great ride I have had since, some about the money and the storage, some, like the Harley I owned for forty years, to keep me alive for a few more years. I am down to "no interesting rides", but I'm on the lookout. I have guns to trade.
