Man the old timer at the auto parts store. He is a dying breed, you done right by supporting him and helping keep the lights on that place. That alone was worth the view.

Your parts store/guy using a walker is a treasure. When you find them always make them your 1st choice.

When I was in college, I worked as a delivery/counterman/grunt at a parts store. We had an old counterman (Vern) that was a hoot to work with. I remember one day some guy walked in, walked up to Vern and set a greasy part on the counter. The customer didn't say a word. Vern glanced at the part and said: Does that 1973 Valiant have air conditioning?

Old stuff like that is SO much easier to work on, and more fun! No plastic covers, vacuum lines, emissions crap, sensors, computers, etc. Inline 6s make it even easier. The good ol' days.

The grass won't hurt the dog at all every dog I've had has eaten grass I think it helps their stomach. Holy crap that fired like it ran yesterday lol good old chevys

Back in 1990 I worked in a family parts store. Been in the family since the 1920s. They had a hard time competing with NAPA, Schucks (now Oreilly), Car Quest, Auto Zone, et al, but they stayed afloat with their machine shop, and relining ancient clutches and brake shoes, and making hydraulic hoses. The old guy retired around 1998, and shut it down. The building is still there, and last time I looked, the old parts were still on the shelves.

That car definitely has the potential to be a really nice daily driver. It doesn't look like it needs a whole lot done to it. Nice buy!

Our town's old guy was Al. I bought stuff from his store right up until he retired and sold off the dilapidated building and I didn't even own a car at the time! In a few weeks the big new O'Reilly's will be ready to open for business exactly where Al's Auto Parts used to be. 💫

I had a 1963 Chevy II with the 194. I always wanted to put a V8 in it, but I couldn't get that straight 6 to blow up. I would run it 'til the oil light came on and it was missing on a couple of cylinders. When I topped off the oil, it would run like new, again. Those things are indestructible.

Cool little car. I miss my 63. Those old stovebolt sixes run forever if taken care of. Good that 5 lug hubs are already on it. The old timer parts stores are getting hard to find.

The little round twist style door locks were kinda cool

That auto store is a gold mine man 👍🏻

Dogs eat grass to deal with upset stomach issues. I was always taught to use emery cloth to clean points and a matchbook cover to set the gap by my grampa

The 64 Chevy ll has always been a dream car of mine since a young child just love the look.

I like the wheels. Personally, I'd put a tiny bit of effort into cleaning it up and then sell it off down the road and focus on one of the other projects I was more into.

I had a 1963 I drove the heck out of it. It was good in the snow after I put 200 lb of sand in the Trunk and I drove it from Ill. to Ca. in 1968.

That car brings back some memories my grandfather bought me and my brother one to fix up when I was 14 years old I'm 41 tomorrow he never got to see it finished. Made me smile and and sad 😥 same time

You never fail to amaze me with how easily you can get ANYTHING running, even if it has been sitting for years! Great job, yet again!

Great to see it running again! I always used sandpaper like that. I don't recall ever owning a file.

My first brand new car, Chevy II, 100 model, 2 door, 194 cu. in. engine. Perfect. Mine would hit 100 mph. Only did it once because . . . if something breaks at that speed . . . it will quickly turn unpleasant. BTW, it cost me $2400 with a full tank of gas.

Nothing like an old Chevy, they run like a champ

Love that car. In 1970 My first drivable car was a 1963 Chevy II. I was lucky enough to purchase it for $1.00 for title purposes. I had to replace rear left floor. I drove it for 16 months and than sold it to my older brother for $300. He drove it to Alaska and returned 2 years later.. He longer needed it so he gave it back to Me. In 1977 it was delivered to a scrap yard. Fun car that I wish I saved.

i miss those kinda stores where is all cars parts,and in finland we don't have those kinda stores any more where you can walk your self and look parts.

Isn't it amazing how you can get an old carburated car, stick some new ignition parts in it, some coolant and it cranks right up for under $100,- Try that with a fuel injected ECU controled CANbus car. It'll probably thow an error code tantrum.

I had a 62 with that same setup(194 ci 6 and auto) it was a fleet car, no air, no radio but what a great car! It would get 22/24 mpg and was one of the easiest car to maintain I ever owned. And surprising comfortable to drive!

Sensational TYVM a golden journey my 1st car. In '72 I was the 2nd owner of 1963 Chevy II. 3 on the tree. 230 or 194. Paid $250. 9 year old car at the time. Improved her with a 250 out of junkyard Impala, Hurst's cheapest floor shifter, and bucket seats from a Firebird. Jet black, red interior & dashboard, 2 door, sport hubcap covers, fresh retreaded tires. Nuthin' ever broke.

grass is not bad for them, our dog loves grass and has never even puked after eating, i dont think it will hurt him/her... 🤣

Love those "small" '60s cars. Good, simple, and fun.

It shows just how bulletproof those old Chevy engines are, both the 6 and the smallblock V8!

Chevy 11 Novas are my favorite cars...I own several...always loved them...Isaac treats this car with reverence...he treats all cars that way, which is why we all like to watch his videos...show the old

35 bucks for the tune up parts is a bargain I love a shop like that on my doorstep great video as usual keep them coming

She's a keeper just for running well and strong!

Love the parts store! Love the microfiche...parts book & a magnifying glass! Now that's old school cool! lol. Thumbs up! 👍

Nice work Isaac, I'd say she's a keeper. I don't mind the four door on that car at all.

Wow it actually sounds good just turning over. It looks like someone at least tried to keep it halfway clean under the hood. A lot better looking than a lot of the cars I see on here.

Now I know were all the good barn find cars are. Issac has them all 😂

You can't beat the older parts guy most of the time he knows what u have/ need when you put it on the counter or ask him ! 👍🏻✌

The last small independent Auto Parts store near were I live closed when the owner passed away. The kids sold what they could and closed it. It had been a auto part store for Decades. 😢 he was a sweet man

After 1964 these Nova's never ever came back in style but a good set of hubcaps will make it go faster.

I loved that engine sound 😍

That thing runs great! Your local parts-guy is an excellent fellow, protecting and providing all those NOS parts for folks!

I had one like it, pulled the 194 , dropped in a 230. Dependability was great. My buddie had a duplicate , we dropped in a 300 hp 350. Man could it ever go !

Hello Ike. When you see a dog eating grass, let them. If they eat certain grass, they are doing it for one of two reasons. They feel a little blocked up. Eating grass gets things going. Another reason, sometimes a dog's stomach gets upset. Sometimes a dog will eat grass to get whatever is upsetting their stomach to come up. Dogs sometimes get indigestion. It helps with that too. It's an instinct that's born into a dog. As far as I know, it comes from their wolf cousins. The only time to get concerned about it is if the dog obsesses about grass. They get obsessed sometimes and they will eat too much grass. Their bowels will get loose or they will eat and throw up, but will still just keep on eating it no matter how sick it makes them. Or how many times they throw up. A little bit helps the dog's stomach and intestines. Too much can be bad.

Ike, repeat after me... "I HATE THOSE MIECES TO PIECES!" :D I miss Mr Jinx.

I bought a 1965 nova II Wagon in the 1980s. It had power steering, powerglide 2 spd trans, 190 L-Head 6 cylinder. The biggest difference will be made to this car by putting a rear anti-sway bar and steel belted radials. I just loved that car. Unfortunately the Massachusetts snowy/salted roads rotted the bottom out of it.

Another cool old car! Save some for the rest of us!

Impressed it still stayed running but the fuel filter probably needs changing.

That's a sweet little ride there Ike.

Glad to see your shoulder is getting better. You lifted that battery up no problem seems like. Right on brother!

Had a nova with the small 6 and drove it everywhere ,was so smooth and got great gas mileage .. I threw a v8 in it and never drove it much after that other than to show out for a few minutes... Keep the lil 6er and enjoy the ride.

As usual the master mechanic has done it again. Good to see you help the local store out. Sounds like Isaac has a female camera person nice.

My grandpa has a 64 nova station wagon we found in a barn and it cleaned up nice enough to leave the original paint on it. It also has the inline 6 too

This video is deja vu for me. I had exactly the same model Nova as my very first car in 1971. Like yours here, it had been sitting idle for a long time and I had to do almost the exact same things that you did to get it to run. It had a clogged fuel filter on the Rochester carb and a couple of the spark plug cables were bad, but I did everything else that you did to get it running. The distributor cap was cracked on mine. It had belonged to the mother-in-law of Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, so it had Bama crap on it so I had to replace that with Auburn and my high school stuff. I still miss that car. Thanks for bringing back some good memories! 🤣

At it again ike Keep it up I love seeing your collection grow

Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks

Chevy2only helped me so much finding anything I needed for mine had it for 10 years sold it when my daughter was born

nice car, and a great parts store there! Great video Isaac!

It's a Chevy, of course it will run. 👌

Ike it's hard to find a two door anymore . I love it I can't tell you how many times I have changed points or Cleaned them . I love it . I hate computers!!!!!

That was way too easy but glad you got it running and it sounds good 👍

You know Ike you just have a knack for getting the old iron to start and run like a new one!!!!!!!!

I had a 65 Chevy II and the only mod I did was put a 4bbl carb on it. for a little 6 cyl it got up and moved! this was back in the late 70's.

Cool little cruiser. I wouldn't let the extra doors bother you. I recently sold my 66 chevelle 4 door. It was a cool car

A friend of mine had the twin to that car, I can remember cruising around in it when I was in high school.

Nothing beats an old chevy!

having those factory parts books is like nothing else! worth a fortune... priceless. love the car otherwise.

Ike ! I wish we had a fella like your parts guy up here. Human parts fish. God bless em

Hey brother this is Glenn I've been watching cand c and recently u love them both stay cool I'll keep u tuned also told a bunch of friends there hooked too keep it real peace lut

Have to watch immediately, the “Can it run” title killed me.

i like the chevy 2's myself great job getting it running!!!

Love the old iron easy access to everything with plenty room simple systems. I think that be a knock out with aqua marine body with white top old original style with hub caps or maybe some torque trust 15s. Keep up the good work and have fun with her!

A great number of years ago, 30+, I traded a 66 bug for a 66 Chevy II wagon. 283 and a powerglide. It was a cool little wagon. Thanks for sharing Issac

I feel like you are right at home doing videos like this

Another great video Isaac 😄. This Old Man loves how you take Old cars and get them running. 🛵🧔💝

Those old local stores are a blessing

For those stuck rings I have been wanting to see if that BG 1 hour engine cleaner treatment system really works the C2 may be a good candidate for it. Check out a couple vids on it and see. I am not talking the walmart stuff but the professional two part treatment. Dual oil change and filters.

Love the old nova, as allways be. Peace.🇺🇸🍻

Ike I love all your videos and you make me learn so much and I never thought I would love a hearse until I seen yours and how much you cared about it I watch both y'all's channels every single day and I love both of them and every single day I'm waiting for a new video

Great motor. Toyota bought that engine from GM. They used it in the Landcruiser. 235 Trailmaster built for the military during WW2. Most dependable engine GM ever built. TOYOTA bought the moulds and dies built the engine their selfs for years. Used the lower block in the Supra upgraded the head to overhead cams.

I think Isaac is in love, just not sure if it's with the car, the dog, the snakes, or the camera lady-LOL!!!!

I like the interior color. Fun to see these come to life!

Nice old Nova. 57 Chevy Belairs are really nice also.

Wish I had a parts store like that in my town.

I've been waiting for you to play with this car. I really want one of these old 4 doors. Cool stuff Ike👍

Love that Nova, I'm a chevy nova guy myself and when I get me a Nova it's going to be a 73 or a 75. Probably a 2 door. Great video by the way.👍👍

I have a 1964 Chevy 2 nova sitting in my yard. same motor manual shift on the column. working on restoring mine. it is one tough little car. mine has a single barrel carb and it gets about 35 mpg. not bad for a solid metal car that weighs more than my truck.

Looks like a great candidate for a 2 door conversion. You can definitely pull it off.

G'day Isaac, G.M. in Australia chose the Nova platform for the Australian family car. In 1964 it was the Holden EH sedan. You might find it interesting what GM was building in 1964 in OZ. It was a hugely successful car.

Had a Uncle that had a 62, I believe, but it was a Chevy 2 4 dr with a straight 4 , a Chevy 4 banger, and he drove that thing for years too!

That’s a nice little Chevy 2 you have Issac. Almost bought 2 Two door 1963 Chevy Twos when I was 18. But didn’t have a car trailer as they were about 80 miles away over in the Bay Area

I love nova's. I dream of a 69 nova ss. But I've never got the chance to find any nova's that I could afford. The few I have seen are all rebuilt and modified. I don't want new and shiny, I want old and a story.

Keep a bottle of lead substitute in the car and be sure to add some every time you fill up, the gas back then had lead in it to lubricate the valve guides and/or seats. I had no doubt that I-6 would start, it's hard to kill an I-6 engine.

I miss the old parts stores. The new parts lookup and inventory is good, but I wish it didn't come at the cost of knowledgeable people and actual information on the parts. I used to search through the parts books to find a match by the drawings/dimensions.

I’d never thought about the taper on points when using a wider file etc. In the past I’ve just used whatever I’ve had to hand, like normal metal files or even thin rocks. I’ll keep that in mind next time

Just went with Gf's daughter to get her first car Saturday, it's a 63 4 door that was her stepmoms first car that she gave her with the agreement she would put it back on the road for her first car. It cleaned up REALLY well and just other than a new headliner and a new paint job it's ready to go. This weekend I'm going to teach her how to change all the fluids and do a rattle can rebuild on the 194 Inline Six engine and paint and lube everything underneath. She's got a lil over $4,000 to work with because she has been saving up for the last year-year and half for her first car and now that she got a car given to her she can use that to finish the car, so she's paying for everything, but I'm donating the paint to her, I just happened to "Find a gallon or Winter White Paint" one of the shelves in my shop, there's no way in hell she's get though 4k because were doing all the work and the paint job is already paid for.

Beautiful car, Isaac.

Pontiac Tempests in the same time frame had a 215 inline six and shared many of the same parts as the Chevy engines. Chevy Novas also came with a 153 cubic inch 4 cylinder engine.

Great vid Isaac

as a fellow owner of a 64 i can't wait to see a restore video on this.
