I am one of those “we bought a 65 Chevy II new, in 1965.” For the 7 of us. It was a wagon, with a six cylinder. My first time, (wink wink), was in the back of it. Was sold to me by my dad in 1970-ish. My first car! Got stories about my time with it and everything! Thanks for your channel. I like your narration and original music too.

Wow, the ending of this when describing everything that these cars had seen really struck an emotional chord with me. I have a 1969 Camaro Z/28 and it was bought by my mom in 1970. She passed away a couple years ago, but I still have the car and the way you said those final words about how these cars would outlive us hit me because that Camaro out there outlived her. It had seen SO MUCH with her behind the wheel. Her eyes looked out that very windshield as she went through some tough times. My older sister's first car ride was in that car. It lives on and suddenly all these thoughts come on and the memories stop when I think about how my mom and I swapped the engine out when I was in high school. (I still have most of the original 302. Parts had been stolen but I have the engine block.) And, God willing, that car will still be on the road when I'm gone.

The passion you put into these old cars with just words, really drives that home. Keeping these running and on the road is a passion, its an earned relationship.

You have a 63 Grand Prix? My Grandpa had a head-on in a 62 back then and he lived, I thought you might have liked to know that. I don't know how fast each car was going or if his model had seat belts or if he wore one. He said he didn't wear one for years though and I didn't ask.

Hey, as it turns out what I said earlier may or may have not happened. My Uncle told me that story but Dad tells me Uncle tells tall tales and Mom doesn't remember Grandpap ever having a head-on in the 62. Maybe Uncle's recalling a different car from the same time period; Grandpap had a side-swipe in the 60s from an oncoming car, Pap pulled over as far as he could but the other guy still swiped him.

The stuff Mr R says in this about how the car makes you pay attention and you have to hang on and all that, that's what my friends don't get about why I prefer driving my slow, weak, lumbering, 2bbl intake 69 skylark over my slick, fast, and responsive 09 challenger r/t, and why I'm not afraid to do so despite the inherent danger of a car with 4 wheel drums and lap only seat belts. I'm used to the motorcycle mentality of internally driving every other vehicle on the road and predicting their mistakes, and I'm confident in my ability to do so since that ability has saved me from no less than four cager-didn't-see-me crashes that would have certainly been fatal and that a lot of people would have failed to avoid.

Ditto. My '73 Falcon wagon requires foresight when driving because of how slowly it reacts to inputs, so i drive it like i ride my bike, compared to my '92 Soarer which you just drive like a normal car. Despite the need to keep four fan belts and a gallon of coolant in the back, i prefer driving the Falcon over the Soarer because of the experience. Forgoing aircon, FM radio, disc brakes, power steering and airbags (Because we die like real men in old cars), i'd take my battered old wagon on a cross-country road trip over my other car in a heartbeat.

Have you replaced the steering column if it's not an energy-absorbing one? You know, so it won't impale you in a head-on? Sometimes it's better to NOT have seat belts, despite how good they are in many crashes.
@thinredpaste
@thinredpaste 6 жыл бұрын
I believe they started putting the collapsing columns in skylarks in 67 so it should have one. I wouldn't know what to look for to verify, but I assume that's why the housing seems to have a couple sections. If not, I'll ride eternal on the highways of valhalla. I intend to upgrade to modern seat belts anyway, so cracking my skull on the wheel is a kind of temporary concern. 3 point belts were an option in 69, my car just doesnt have them. It has all the mounting points though, so once I reach that point on my priorities list I'll order some and throw them in.

@thinredpaste
@thinredpaste 6 жыл бұрын
It'll get a 4 barrel eventually, but my plan is to build up everything that ISN'T the drivetrain before I start adding power to it. I want to have a platform that can control the power before I put the power in it, and that means the engine comes last, after disc brakes, shocks and sway bars, limited slip differential, and overdrive transmission. I only just got the car to the point where I can start shopping for stuff to make it drive better instead of stuff to keep it driving at all, so it'll be a while before I'm ready to start hot rodding it up.

The list of stuff you might need for an old car resonates with me. I drove junky ‘70’s cars in college and kept a toolbox and spare parts in the trunk. Water hoses, spark plugs, coils, battery cables, fuses, light bulbs, fan belts…and these old cars do have a way of focusing the mind of the driver. Nice video. “They will break but they are never broken”. So true!!

Weirdly (at least where I am), Chevy II's/Nova's are much more expensive than equivalent-condition Falcons or Valiants or Corvairs... but they're certainly nothing more special than the other 60's compacts. It's literally the Nova name, like the Chevelle name. People think muscle car and think valuable and rare... I call it '57 Chevy Syndrome.

Chevy IIs and Chevelles are expensive because you can shoehorn a Mark IV or 327 V8 in the engine compartment, and you have an instant muscle car. Also, there was a Super Sport option for the Chevy II and Chevelle, and it's easy to fake an SS with the standard versions. With the Corvair, you're sort of "stuck" with that aluminum block flat 6, unless you want to remove the back seat and make major modifications to the car. But while the most powerful Corvair can't beat a 396 Nova in a drag race, nothing will out-handle a Corvair on a winding twisty road...

This is one of your more touching reviews, Mr. Regular. I fantasize these cars of the 60s when I was little, and still do. While every kid dreamed of the latest Ferrari or Lamborghini, with the latest technologies and highest price tags. I wanted these.. They’re timeless. And the rust, scuffs, and miles they’ve endeavored tell so many stories. Like having your cool grandfather sitting beside you telling you stories of his past. Some you’ve heard seven or eight times before. But hearing him express these times so vastly different than today, as if they happened yesterday, never ceases to amaze you. I don’t wish I was born in the time of these cars. I wouldn’t appreciate them as much as I do now. The best part of the 60s are still here. Like an immortal grandparent, still reminding you what the world was and what it always will be. RIP Grandad. Assembly worker building these cars for GM. He carried his passion for them to his grave. Love ya you old coot

took a roadtrip from Michigan to Moab Utah via route 66 through Arizona and then up to Colorado and back through Kansas, a total of 4500 miles in a 1966 Chrysler 300 with no A/c in the middle of july, the fuel in the lines cavitated three times in new mexico, each time we had to stop on the side of the road and suck all the gas out of the lines by mouth and then wait for the engine to cool down, if we weren't going 70 we were overheating. it was the most fun two weeks of my life, went to Grand Canyon on the 4th and slept on the seats on a perfectly clear night in the desert with all the doors open, completely dead silent and not a single insect in the air

A friend of mine has a '64 Olds F-85 Custom 4-door, bone stock, 2-speed automatic transmission, 330 ci Oldsmobile V8, which was actually the 2nd biggest available powerplant in that model next to the 390. Not sure how much power it makes, but it's pretty adequate to move the old ship along at a good pace. It feels like a boat to drive, but yet it is not much bigger than a modern midsize in terms of length and width, and is, believe it or not, lighter since it doesn't have all the modern computers and plastics and power accessories and stuff, it's just a big hunk of metal. The rear window defogger is a fan, which I think is really cool, and apparently is a fairly rare option on that model year. I love driving that car. It's like going back to a simpler time every time you get in it, even though 1964 was before I was born, I just appreciate that feeling. And yes, it stops like shit so you do have to pay attention...but it is still so much fun.

I may only have a 32 year old T-Bird with 38,000 miles, but even driving that car is stepping into a time machine like this Chevy II. Listening to rock 'n roll on the stock tape deck with crackling 32 year old speakers and a severely under-powered 3.8L V6 that gives you that little jolt of torque as described in this video just brings a sense of joy and euphoria when driving an old car without exceeding 65 mph. This is probably my favorite RCR that I've watched not only because of another awesome car from the 60s, but just excellent narration. Well done sir!

My 1st car was a 66 chevy II. Six cylinder 2 speed trans. Got it for $50.00. White and rusted. Both front and rear wind shields leaked bad when it rained. Had an Ant nest somewhere under the front seat. Bought biased belted tires that followed every groove in the road. In spite of all that, I loved the car. I used to was and wax (every place that wasn't rusted) it on a regular basis. It was very reliable. Never failed a start in any weather condition. Got great gas milage. Unfortunately someone hit it, totaling it out. Thanks for the memories! 🙂

I learned how to drive in my father's 1965 Nova station wagon, three on the tree manual transmission, radio delete. He bought it new; by 1970, the front floorboards had rusted out, so he slapped down some plywood under the rubber floor mats. The rust never spread beyond the floor pans. He also had a 1963 Nova sedan, it had an automatic transmission, radio delete--no rust. Other than the occasional dead battery, these cars never let us down. He changed the oil every 3K miles, and taught me and my brothers how to tune the engines, and time them with a timing light, he rebuilt the carburetors and we learned how to change the pads on the drum brakes. As a teenager, I thought they were plain and dowdy looking, but looking back now, I realized they were gems. They were tough mechanically, well engineered and easy to care for, and they did what was required of them without complaint. Although they were on the small side, they were solid hunks of metal, felt safe and were easy to drive with forgiving road manners. Nowadays, I don't even know where the oil filter is on the cars I own. How times have changed!

Its funny you say that 90s cars are disappearing. If anything, its the opposite. More people are buying them and actually taking care of them, rather than using them for beaters. Its pretty amazing. If anything, the new cars we have now will be fading into the history books in just 10 years. They were planned to be obsolete from the factory. And yes, that includes your plastic new turbo honda that looks like a bad refrigerator drawing.

The 90's is where cars peaked, in terms of reliability and simplicity. Everything just came together. And then the decontenting started with cheap plastics, that was and is still rampant to this day, but improving. Technology started to get more complicated such as with infotainment systems and other silly things such as electronic parking brakes and not to mention cars with no dipsticks, etc.

I took my first road test in a friend's 68 Nova in Chicago. It was the summer of 1979. The thing was a rust bucket with no working seat belts. The examiner had me back around a corner and failed me because I wound up in the wrong lane. To this day I've never heard of such a maneuver during a driving exam. We were on a public street. It's amazing I didn't kill somebody or strike another vehicle.

And thats also one of the many things i love about it.

What a time it was: 2 speed auto, metal dash, wind wings, ash trays in the arm rests, riding on the rear package shelf, foot-operated high beam switch, vinyl seats. . .such memories. Thanks.

He is so right about these old 60's classics. This pass summer my cousin pulled a 62 Chevy Impala 4 door hardtop out of field and I helped him rebuild it. Stock shitty brakes, stock torn up interior, original white paint that had aged to disgusting matte yellow cream.... 230 straight six hooked up to a 3-on-the-tree manual with nothing but new fluids and a towing spec cam.... we cruised around back road for days in that thing.... classic Led Zep and The Who drifting out the windows.... It was a god damn dream come true.
