This 1963 Chevy Impala wagon was parked about 20 years ago in a Philadelphia yard for unknown reasons. What will it need and will it run / drive again?

Are you kidding me?! Quality didn't matter back then. It was all about style. Body panels didn't fit right. Paint faded. Rust took over. Why do you think 8 year old cars were parked in fields? Seen many "barn find" videos of 1970 Chevelles left to rot in 1978. My 2004 Ford F150 has 260,000 km on it and still going strong. I'm tired of people saying quality was better back then. I agree today's cars are much more complicated, but you were always working on them back in the 60's and 70's. Points, spark plugs, wires, timing, carburetor, etc. Fun if you like that kind of thing, but most people don't. FYI, I have a '65 Impala SS. :)

@stephensaasen8589 2 жыл бұрын

That linkage you disconnected on the carb that goes to the transmission is a kickdown lever. When you punch the throttle, it's supposed to actuate a valve to drop the tranny down into lower gear for more power. I know these new fangled cars do it by computer but back in the day, downshift for power was done with this kind of linkage or a cable and sometimes vacuum. And that frame was standard issue on full size GM cars of that era. It was called the "X" frame. They went to a perimeter style frame in 1966. Nice old car.

Took me 15 mins to stop laughing.

Lol, that's great! I've had them back fire on me before but never any insane flames like that. I can see why a coffee can would do that though. The vapors and fuel probably built up inside of the can and then when he lifted it and it backfired, all that fuel ignited and exploded in the atmosphere. Definitely more dangerous with the coffee can. Especially since it could throw shrapnel if it exploded.

Hey Chris! New subscriber here. Really cool video. You are truly a great car guy and mechanic! Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Takes me back to my younger days in Frederick MD where I grew up with Chevys and Fords. My parents had a '64 Belair 4 door sedan with the 283 2 barrel powerglide. Dad was a volunteer fireman and we ran fire and accident calls. He took me with him when I turned 10 to be his navigator. Taught me how to read a map, and some times we'd beat the fire truck to the scene. Dad would pull out "on the feeway" and mash the gas pedal, saying " throwing the fat to it". The power glide would kick down and that 283 would fly!! 0 to 70 (speed limit at that time) in a heartbeat! And the sound!! Just as when you nailed it. WOW, what a thrill ride. Lost my dad in 1985' he was 52, I was 26. He started me working on cars at 12 years young and I am so greatful for his wisdom he passed on to me. Anyway I hope this classic finds a nice home or maybe you should keep it. I hope you do a follow up either way, and can't wait for your other classic car finds! Take care and happy holidays!

It's like VGG but without the exaggerated personality. Keeps me coming back. Don't take this the wrong way plz. I like VGG as well, but I like that you could just be my neighbour n I'd never even know. Just a normal, cool guy. Btw, I'm 300% jealous of your "hoarding". I've been recently deciding to let my inner car guy out that cage it's been hiding in for far too long, and seeing well over a decades worth of tool collecting in your garage shows me how much hoarding of my own I still have yet to do lol. Also, that's not rust... (cries in Canadian.. 🙃)

It’s amazing how much damage we (me) rookies can do by being ignorant. You are truly BLESSED to have the knowledge that you have. Blessings

25:49...Yep, the floorpans are great, esp for a NE car. But dude, if you wanna keep 'em that way, you gotta run that exhaust all the way to the back. You can see that short pipe is starting to darken up the floor with exhaust soot. Future exhaust leak through the floor if you don't. 27:14...Kudos to you for stopping to set that water supply cap right! Most people would not notice or care if they did. That could have caused an accident! 40:40...Niice drone footage and music at the end!

I was about to go on a trip and needed a car to drive. I found a 1966 Chevy wagon for $100 at a local used car lot and started on my 800-mile destination. The car burned oil so badly that I couldn't see behind me most of the way - the back end was dripping oil. It must have been getting 100 miles to the quart. I bought a case of oil before I left and it still wasn't enough. After negotiating hairpin curves in the darkest reaches of West Virginia, I finally reached my destination - North Carolina. As soon as I parked the car, my sister wanted to borrow it to go to the store. The moment she pushed the brake pedal the brake line blew. I'm thankful that the brakes held going up and down those steep 2-lane hills in West Virginia just 12 hours earlier. Talk about a close one.

What a video! Wow! Brings back so many good memories for me. I really wish I had the $6K, I would buy this in a heartbeat and finish putting her together.

This wagon is in a lot better condition than the ones I have been looking at. I would give 3500$ for it and take it home and start stripping it down!

These 60s wagons are so nice. And I can't believe how good that motor sounds.

It's a cool car, my car is a 1996 Mitsubishi Pajero Mini. It's dented here and there, but it's running smoothly. Old cars are nice.

That old girl, believe it or not, is in better shape body-wise than my 97 GMC Sierra 🤯🤯🤯. My GMC is completely ate out with rust in the rocker panels, and the wheel wells. And I mean completely ate out!!!! They just don't make them like they used to.
