I bought this car in 1999 at a local estate sale where it had been abandoned in a backyard for 20 plus years. The 327 was locked up so this was my FIRST revival as a 14 year old punk! Well it’s been neglected for the past few years so lets address some of those issues and fix a few of my screwups from 20 plus years ago. This car is NOT FOR SALE! Well, I mean, if someone gave me $327,300 for it in cold hard cash I’d probably let it go… Maybe… As always, thanks for watching!

Isn't it great to take that walk down memory lane with your old cars and trucks from your youth and discover temporary fixes that became permanent fixes! "What was I thinking when I did that" LOL! Oh the joys of youth!
I saw you on your way to back to the 50s ! Interstate 94 I was so jealous I knew where you were going and I had to get to Rochester
I hate when people slam doors on are 55 chevy and crack the window. I don't get why people think they need to slam them you can open them with your finger. the weight of the door is enough, it's not a 77 Monte Carlo. Chrome steelies with no center caps would look cool on the 64. I really like chrome steelies & pained steelies with small O.E. caps
Leaving that intake open after removing the carb drove me nuts … did I miss something as to why you pulled the motor to replace a rear main … I have done many in the car …
I would paint the engine before I put it back in Impalas are made to show off no matter what year.IJS
Love the wagon I'm gonna look for another one myself.
Keep that one in the Garage Dude
Be careful. Those seals can cause California in the state of cancer.🥴
Definitely a great car.
I would update brakes and suspension but leave engine basically as it is. No LS swap. Body just needs minor tlc but as she is is pretty sweet looking. I would probably run some baby moons on her. Definitely a 60's vibe! Definitely looking forward to more on her!
I like to use A swivel 9/16 on a 3-foot extension from underneath.
it makes the bellhousing bolts go much faster.
nice job
Well .. thanks for the Ken Burns Civil War theme your playing through the whole event.. Epic
As the kids say..
Get some QA1 adjustable shocks to stop the bouncing.
I like your wagon! The interior is nice. Just fix the driver seat, rust on bottom of front fenders, add front disc brakes, and exhaust. Fix trans leaks or swap to a turbo 350 trans. Full air with compressor okay but won’t stop the bouncing.
LS swap it
el diablo means "the devil"
my filrst car was a 64 chevelle 4door 283 slip and slide trans. wish I still had it but my ex sold it to a wrecking yard for 40 bucks boy was i pissed
How many dogs have you killed by leaving antifreeze laying around
Love this car. I could've bought cars like that back in the 80s but then as a teenager you think those aren't cool but just look at what you can do with them. You also have a great collection of cars and trucks. God bless you and Duff.
I LIKE THAT ONE
WOW, Mr. Lucky, your right about timing gear and chain. It goes poof and engine goes BOOM. I ALWAYS use the best timing chain and gears i can afford when replacing them, a few bucks more and it gives me peace of mind that this won't be the cause of "it blew up". Hope duff and you are enjoying ya'lls summer way up yonder!!
I did a conversation on a bug engine it went bad and melted the pistons and valves
I have a speed wrench I love using it if I can it's good on rocker covers sumps you can get a feel for the torque and looks like you know what ya doing
The rubber boot always falls out plug socket
Pinch plyers good for bleeding brakes
I like your ideas Dog dish with steelies to match body color with patina on them but keep the dogs dishes pristine. Keep soft ride but add valves and compressor, new shocks, put power discs front power drums back but keeping current drums good too cause they are so rare these days, fix dents, rust through and valance in back. Keep paint patina…my 2 cents. Station wagons are so appealing these days, such a nice alternative to suvs, tired of seeing them. Beauty of a car, oh new safe tires too. Begging for another video to see what you do! Modern headlamps would be nice. For budget update just change shocks, adjust brakes, new tires and steelies with new dog dishes new headlamps and put on the valance on back you have. So many possibilities so little time! Always liking your videos!
Crocus Cloth is just really fine emery cloth, we use it on navy ships to polish surface rust off packing glands of steam valves.
Great channel, but the movie clips are annoying.
A 400 is externally balanced
Awsome wagon and video😎👌🇳🇴
My first amercan car is a Chevrolet Caprice Classic 1976 with 400 motor and Edelbrock 600 with electric choke, my dads car, past away in 2019❤️
Your still young, and yet have a lot of "stuff". How does this happen?
I think you're privileged.
