Mr. Regular isn't a GM guy. Mr. Regular isn't a Ford guy. Mr. Regular is a car guy.

"They break but they're never broken", that is one of my favorite lines from Mr. Regular. Apart from HOT BROWN, of course.

"they may break, but they're never broken..." "well mantained, these machines will outlive us..." wow... those are heavy lines... nice review! cheers!

“If it’s anything like my Chevy Nova it’ll light up the night sky!” - Phillip J. Fry

GM: Hey I didn’t do my homework can I copy yours Ford: sure just don’t make it obvious

"60's American cars are the closest things we have to time machines" Honestly RCR know how to spew out word of wisdom and knowledge

I feel like the Roman doesn't get enough love in KZfaq comments but he killed it in this one. Love the outro song.

Jesus, Roman. That end song was fantastic!

Classic rock, in a '60s car? WINGA DINGA MUSIC

My father, who was an insurance claims adjuster, was issued a Chevy II base model as a company car. It was the same color as the one here. It was a good little car. I always thought it was very practical for having rubber floor covering instead of carpet. Dad like GMs better than Fords, but the company bought mainly Fords after that. Thanks for the memories!

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.

"How do you pass a test when you studied the wrong chapter?" "YA CHEAT!"

19 minute old RCR? Still has that fresh New Car smell to it.

How crazed is the Nova fanclub? Well, a friend of mine from high school loves these cars so much that he legally had his first name changed to Nova. So there's that.

Yo that outro song was radio worthy

"Wow, we're alive! And the car didn't explode!" - me every day

FUCK I love it when you make videos like this, the shit you come up with to say near the ending gives me chills.

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.

Roman, this song is the best I've heard you do yet. Well done!

Them: if Chevy's so good, why isn't there a Chevy 2? Me:

9:37 Great one liners as usual from RCR! :D

I get up at 5am to go skiing, but at 4am for a new review of an old car.

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.

I do honestly think the II Looks better than the falcon. Thats just me though.. Falcon is still rad

I'm sick as a dog at three in the morning, but RCR uploads. Life is kind of cool sometimes.

Man, you're making me want to look for a Studebaker Hawk all over again, and I'm happily driving an MR2 Spyder...

I bought my first car in 1999. It was a 1973 Ford F100. Everything you say about owning, and daily driving a vintage car is 100% true. They are difficult to own but rewarding in the oddest ways. 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.

Damn, I need to go look forlornly at a sunset now.

I've been repairing a 64 Corvair since about May or so (it's almost done). "They may break but they're never broken" is a perfect way to describe it, lol.

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.

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!!

I was brought home from the hospital in a 1963 version: white 2-door coupe, red interior, three-on-the-tree, AM radio. My dad drove it for another 8-9 years. It ended its days with our family in white-and-rust. The engine idle sound at the beginning of the video was shockingly the same as I remember from my dad's.

Moist. Moist. Wetness.

This episode hit me right in the feels, and makes me want to get another classic... Great job Mr. Regular, well written and well said. This is the stuff that inspires people to do great things. The stuff that invigorates the youth of today to experience what the youth of yesteryear had. Thank you sir for your words, your time, and your passion.

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

Really loved this episode. My grandpa owned 2 of these before I was born, although down here in Argentina they were called 'Chevrolet 400', and they only came with 6 cilinder in line engines.

I think the Chevy 2 looks better.

The song at the end melted my heart.

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

Hey Mr. Regular, this is probably the best review you've ever done. It's perfect. Thank you.

If this is the second Chevrolet, which was the first one?

I always come back to this review. I'm someone who is silly enough to daily his classic, but I love every minute of it.

I have been daily driving a 1962 Austin Healey Sprite the past three weeks, and fully get what Mr. Regular is going on about. The inconvenience is real, it's noisy and not refined, bit the look of the world thru that car is just amazing. I find no trouble keeping up in traffic, just as he said floor it and things will work out. The Sprite has not just been a driving it to work only thing either, it has been my all things life throws at me car. Rain, sun, shopping, highways, back roads, dates, appointments... It's been refreshing realizing that all you really need in a car is very minimal. Heck, it doesn't even have self canceling turn signals.

A true a artist! You are the only car show that will give me goosebumps. You have a way with words Mr. Regular!!

I've never heard someone sum up daily driving a classic car so well. My favorite episode so far.

I gotta say the Roman really improved his singing. Great Episode in general, also I want a classical car now.

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!

That's why I love my dad's 1970 Buick GS so much, the whole car moves around on everything, amd the seats are apart of the suspention so when the car move you move a good five seconds after and it feels like a roller coaster. and with the 350 and 3-speed you get a nice long bellow from the V8 as the front end rises up and you hear the rear butterfly's kick open on the Quadrajet carb. it is one hell of an experience. you don't even need a big block and 4/5/6 speed to enjoy a old american car

Because sleep is O V E R A T E D

Beautiful review and delightful outro song

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! 🙂

Man, what a great episode. I daily drive a '68 Dodge Dart, and it is so refreshing to see people still driving these old cars. I definitely agree with the time machine assertions.

anyone else get a little teary eyed when he starts talking about how amazing old cars are and how they will live on when we are gone

This has been one of the most beautiful reviews I’ve ever seen

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.

Metal boxes will out live us ..😎👍

The ending made me feel. The outro made me cry. The REAL ending made me laugh. This is a beautiful video.

what i would give to have an old ameican regular car like this in england, the only cars that get imported from america are mustangs and corvettes, i want regular boring metal shitboxes damnit! in america i expect nobody bats an eye at these sorts of cars but somthing like this would be cooler than a super car in england.

Imagine when all the cars were like this. It might not be as comfortable or safe as now, but it would be cool to see.

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!

Smoked a bowl, ate very late dinner, drank a few beers, finally time for bed. (New RCR upload) Hah, Packs new bowl.

Regular Car reviews: the only way to enjoy sleep deprivation

the way you describe this car reminds me of my 77 pinto wagon I bought when I was in high school around 2001. it's a chore to drive and I'm the only one of my friends that can drive it across town without it stalling. and 17 years later, I still love driving it.

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.

*Insert joke on how late I'm staying up because Mr. Regular uploaded at 3 A.M*

Last time I came this early I had to pay child support

I’ve got a 64 Chevy II, when paired with the 230 motor and the 3 speed manual this car flys. And when paired with the stock drum brakes it flies great into the wall. Overall it’s a great driver, thanks for the car gramps.

When I take my 84 rabbit gti out, I get this feeling that I am one with the road and all of the stress of the everyday life shit just disappears ...that is until I realize I hope she starts again once I've reached my destination and need to make my way back home. But it's such a fun journey on the way. I know I dont have a 60s muscle car but I can relate to what youre saying

outtro song was particularly good today.

Doug DeMuro is the type of guy Oh sorry wrong channel.

I daily a 36 GMC tow truck in Canada, it can be done and done easily if you just pay attention and love doing it.

Best RCR I’ve seen in a while. Well done. I love that Mr. Regular has no biases.

The last time I was this early Mr Regular still had silicone sally. Thanks Regular for another beautiful review!

It's 1:17 in the morning and I still clicked on RCR's latest video. What am I doing with my life?

I was chilling on google street view and saw this car. Wondering what it was, I went back to my browser. The tab I was on was the KZfaq home page, and this was front and center. I was so surprised that my questions were answered!

Probably my favorite video. Thanks for you time fellas....

Your videos.... You crack stupid fart jokes throughout, then hit you hard in the feels at the ends.

winga dinga dinga dinga, winga dinga dinga dinga

My grandfather's brother bought a 71 Nova new... restored by grandfather + father, passed down to me, will be passed down to my children and then hopefully theirs. I used to think it was so cool seeing old cars going down the road as a kid, hopefully kids these days have similar thoughts. Good video.

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.

DAD NO I HAVE SCHOOL TO TOMORROW

Simple.cheep. Good regular car. Look at all that room under the hood,wow! Keep that straight six. Do not cut it up or "put a v8 in it" just saying.

My ‘72 VW super beetle was my daily for a few years and was a adventure every time you drove it. You kept tools in the car. You always had spare parts. Everything my friends hated about that car were all the things I loved. Older cars have a spirit newer cars just don’t have.

My parents and grandparents generation taught me as a kid to always keep spare parts in the glove box, check the fluids almost daily and always check the weather reports before leaving on a trip. Cars from the 80s, 90s and 00s are just so reliable that you don't have to worry about it as much.

thanks

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.

Farmers used to drive this car in my area (Phoenixville, PA) well into the 80s. There they go to the local Mennonite church, she's still wearing cats eye glasses, and he's in a green plaid shirt, the same color as this car. Then off to Zerns...

I was surprised to see the amber turn signals on the front. But as I think about it, they came in with the 1963 model year, if I remember correctly. 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.

Cooooooooooopy caaaaaaasaat But both of 'em looks cool and classic

you nailed so much in this review, but especially the part about being tired after driving a stock classic american car. I have a '68 Chevy Van, manual steering, manual brakes, 250 six with a Powerglide and man oh man, if i have to drive 40 miles in it i am genuinely exhausted afterwards. And thats also one of the many things i love about it.

I really appreciate this review. My dad had a 1966 chevy 2 Nova and he sold it sadly, but now we have a 1967 Chevy Nova SS. I think a car like this deserves a review like this, a sincere one. Thank you.

I have a '63 Chevy II with a 327 (300hp) that was installed in 1965. I bought it from the original owner in the 1980's, and he showed me the parts list that was included in the owner's manual to make the swap. I put a 4 speed in it and changed the diff to a posi unit. I also beefed up the brakes. It still goes like snot and looks great too. It's the perfect little hot rod.

Everytime i start my '70 challenger "when the levee breaks" is on and i feel like the pothead drifter slacker badass i wish i was

Regular car reviews is the only media, of any shape or form, that in one instance can make me laugh at very dark, vivid, outlandish deification jokes, and in another instance, bring a real tear to my eye with poetic excellence.

My father had one of these. He was a rural mail carrier in central Ohio, and he had to drive for miles on gravel, and cinder roads. His cars would take a real beating. The Chevy ll he had was one of his favorites.

We're alive! And the car didn't explode! Had me dying, same with my car

I used to daily a 67 mustang coupe in college. I swear, best experience of my life was riding around in it, listening to old school music with my friends, smokin a blunt as I switched gears. It's something about 60s cars. Their history, their craftmanship, everything....it really is a close to time travel as we'll see in our lifetime. And they head turns with all original sourced body work and hubcaps? I coolest kid on campus.....at 8 miles a gallon.....premium.....during the 5$/gal rise. I had to put her up lololol

I love your review I had an old 61 Rambler when I turn 16 I always carried an extra set of points

That time-machine monologue near the end. My feels. They weren't prepared for this.

I have a '65 Rambler that I restored. I call it my Benjamin Button car. 25 years ago it was a wreck but today it looks and works amazingly. Almost everything in it is metal. The last 2-1/2 minutes of this video, you could've been quoting me! The in-the-moment visceral feeling of driving these old cars around. These metal machines will outlast US for sure.
