Registrace 29. 10. 2011
I've been emerged in the classic car hobby for more than 3 decades. In 1999 I quit my day job and co-founded Californiaclassix (www.californiaclassix.com). We have owned over two-thousands cool cars and expanded until my business partner retired in 2020. Now at age 65 and close to retirement myself, I'm learning to do videos and expend my CZcams channel. In addition, I do dry-ice cleaning of classic and collectible cars.
Enjoy!

1967 Volvo 123GT
Checking out our super rare, fully restored 1967 Volvo 123GT. Although it looks like a "regular" 122S, the 123GT is a homologation special, made with competition components to win races. Reportedly less than 5,000 of these cars were made, and many of them have succumbed to the dreaded rust worm. This one must be one of the finest surviving examples of the species.
Enjoy!

zhlédnutí 267Před 28 dny
Checking out this rare 1965 Pontiac Le Mans Sport Coupe. The car was owned from 1966 until recently by a lady from San Dimas, California. It still has its original AM radio, air conditioning compressor, hubcaps and other stock equipment and escaped any attempts to turn it into a GTO replica. Have a look into the past what it's like to drive an almost 6 decades old muscle car . . .

zhlédnutí 424Před 2 měsíci
Checking out and driving this 2-owner California Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d' Elegance, one of the last American dinosaurs of the road, dating back to a time where bigger was better and driving was a rather relaxed affair. Powered by a massive 500 cubic inch 8.2-liter V8, coupled to a heavy duty GM-400 Turbohydramatic, this Cadillac effortlessly floats along. Good times!

Checking out our 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe.

Nice
Believe it or not, I got my drivers license in a Fiat 128 in Sept 1977. It was my grandmothers car, and it was a deep navy blue
Nice car. But the bumpers😢
Old ad, the 3 tabs at front of underhood insulation mat need to be tucked up under the sheetmetal.
5:44 That suspension works amazingly! I still drive the copy of this car - Zastava Skala 55, which is the last production year, 2008 and i assure you the suspension is great, but not this great. Those Zastava "copies" had Fiat engine in the beginning, when it was called Zastava 101 and those Fiat engines are know to be the best by far, it could push the car over 160 kmh (100 mph) and later models with Zastava 55 engines could only do 135 kmh (84 mph). Fiat engine was also had higher quality and lower fuel consumption. What i didnt expect is that exhaust sound that is known with Zastava model, i dinnt know its also with the original Fiat (that buzzing sound above 2500 rpm like there is a crack in the exhaust).
My buddy is a Volvo driver.. Every 10 years he gets a 10 year old Volvo...

Hola ablan español
How much please thank you
What is a California Black Plate? Does it allow t drive this beauties unlimited on the California highways?
Beautiful!
Gorgeous
What a beauty!
I'll take it. How much?
I would love to buy a gorgeous old car, that had completely modernized engine, transmission, steering, suspension, and safety. I'd love to own a replica, esthetically, but a nice reliable Lexus underneath because that thing, is a POS. A Very pretty POS, but there ain't nothing worth keeping under that hood. That being said, Richard Carpenter is a god damn musical genius. While I think his love of cars is misguided, the man is on musical Mt Rushmore alongside Brain Wilson, Marvin Gaye, the Beatles, Hendrix and Jimmy Page.
What size wheels do you have on this beauty?
FIAT needs to put the 128 back into production
Best of the best ❤
Had blue plain Jane 318 holly carb awesome truck
spettacolo
Awesome! I know those roads around Oxnard too!
Stright pipe?
Do you know where to buy parts for it
I had a 79 short box W150 Power Wagon, 4x4 360 4sp NP 435 transmission NP 203 full time four wheel drive. When off road you would lock the transfer case and the truck was unstoppable by far the best off road truck I've ever owned. I used it to explore the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the Arrowhead of Minnesota year round as long as the tires had traction it would go anywhere.
Классика она и на Марсе классика,люблю американские ретро машины.
Awesome
What a classic beauty. Thanks for sharing her. ☮️💙
Thank you!
I love the two tone exterior paint on the SZ's. Sets the car off from just being monotone. Beige over brown is beautiful.
1966 Chevy trucks had oil bath air cleaners.
Actually, during the 1960s, Chevrolet offered 3 different air cleaner options. A basic paper filter. A heavy duty paper. And an oil bath.
No way. Just saw this on facebook
Very sharp❤
My dad’s dad had the 65 long bed, he couldn’t wear it out nor could my grandma by repeatedly backing into it when leaving the house in her Vega, so gave it to my dad, who also couldn’t wear it out so handed it to me. We dropped an overhauled straight 6 in it though it still could have kept going. The tranny and everything else stayed original. Snuck my girlfriend out of her mom’s house one night and ended up being chased out in the desert and had to slide down a 20+ foot loose embankment on its belly. Truck didn’t even blink. We took the old gas line road which was more a rocky channel for rain runoff than it was a road and hauled ass outta there while there little cars weren’t up to the challenge. By hauled ass I mean 8000 rpm at 75 mph because of the low gear ratios 😂. I learned from my dad how to pack bearings, do brakes etc on that truck.
One thing I never understood. Why the Imperial didn't have the fender mounted turn signal lights as standard equipment. They came standard on the Dodge Dart and Plymouth Valiant, lower end models
Nice 1/2 ton , mine, it's a 3/4 ton ,it's a 66
King of the World Scott Anthony McCoy grandson of Austin McCoy would love to have that truck delivered to me ASAP, I'm at my buddies house in my Vandalized Jeep Wrangler Sport waiting to get into my house or mansion. 3633 Landa St Los Angeles California 90027 is the delivery address ASAP , God Bless !!!👑🌎🙏🙏👍😎🍀
nice reel but should show the driver too! 7:59
That's an interesting step on the driver's side. I have never seen one like that.
Beautifull Vehicle, it's a time capsule
Thaats a nice truck
Chevy lost money on that gem 💎!
Absolutely beautiful truck thank you for the memories
Great video!,..even better truck. Wow. You don't see a lot of beautiful mid-sixties Chevy's, always the 67-72's get all the attention. Is it still for sale?
Thats a real tater digger
Things like this ONLY exist in COMMIEFORNIA And ARIZONA, Land of NO SALT and SAND..
Nicely kept unit!😀
I I had the engine rebuilt and drove mine until around 1984. The Minnesota (salty) winters disintegrated/dissolved it until it was no longer safe to drive.
Is the whole length of the rocker panel cut away?
If anyone had/has an Imperial or New Yorker from this era, how was the reliability and build quality?
