1987 Chevy Celebrity in The Junkyard for Sale, Will it be Crushed?
This was a month ago, but we found a celebrity showed up to the party! 1987 Chevy Celebrity makes its way to the yard, but apparently has 53k original miles, the iron duke, and is pretty much rust free. Does this deserve to be back on the road? Will someone save it?

Future Lemons?? Looking Over Cars In a Last Minute Purchase
zhlédnutí 236Před měsícem
So, the dealer, a buy here pay here, sold a truck that was "sure to go to him" while we were already driving almost 200 miles to the dealer. Long story short, this dealer was supposedly the "best" option, so instead of ending the trip, we kept going and he decided to look for something else. This is where we came to these two Fords after looking at vehicles and debated which one was better. Wor...
Crushed, or Spared? '73 Chrysler *400* Update

Before uploading anything else, I felt it was best to make a follow up video on this car since it got quite some engagement. Will this big block Newport be able to see the road again? Let's find out...
'73 Chrysler 440 Left To The Crusher?? 9 Months For Sale In The Junkyard...
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 2 měsíci
We visit the Newport again only to find it still there!! Cars at this yard usually sell FAST...and rarely sit out for as long as this one. Was likely listed around August and "ready" to go in February, but it has not been bought. The old manager said they usually give the good cars about 60 days before sending them to the parts yard, although some stayed longer. With derby rumors and the uncert...

In search for another vehicle part, we come across many unique vehicles that had the towel thrown in. From old-school Ford pickups, to a wrecked Buick regal, and a European Cadillac, this yard had some cars that we felt we had to check out!
Replacing a headlight bulb : 1994 Ford F-250
zhlédnutí 40Před 3 měsíci
We replace the headlight bulb on a 1994 F-250. This works on 1992 through 1997 trucks and maybe on other Fords from the late 80's through 90's era.
Non-running Chrysler Newport - Investigation
zhlédnutí 162Před 3 měsíci
Technically part two of the Chrysler Newport, we figure out it actually does not run! Rumor has it that it turns over and "hick-ups" sometimes if you adjust the advance points (part with black and orange wires connected in the distributor), but will not take off. We investigate and review more in depth the Newport and its needs.

On a journey to find a Lexus RX300 weather strip and other salvage gems like a custom southern comfort edition Chevy, an 80's Toyota Cressida, and more!
Is a Chevrolet celebrity
These cars are awesome
They're really not that bad
Great Video! good luck with the channel man!
Thanks man, I'll need it haha. Can't wait to see where yours goes too!
It not that bad for daily drive car Since it low mileage this going break down Since haven't been driven alot and it old car That price is litter high selling that car that high because low mileage parts going to break down ill wouldn't buy it
It fits the daily driver category for sure! The low miles wouldn't be all bad if it was stored and maintained properly, but judging by the hood nest, it's going to need some work.
53000 miles before the speedometer cable broke.
Didn't really think about that, that's a possibility.
Those prices are Hunter B1den level kd crack brain.
Inflation!
my friend had an '86 Celebrity Eurosport fully loaded with power everything sun roof and great sounding Delco Sound System with 5 band EQ. His was the 2.8 MPFI V6. Car had some balls and could spin the wheels pretty easily.
Fully loaded sounds like a treat, I'm sure these cars had some fun factors when done right!
My Dad also had an 86 in the early 90s was a 4 door model with the 2.8V6 and yes seemed like it was fast for the time. The 82 to 86 had the older look though with the sealed beam headlights and older dashboard design. Ours was charcoal grey with matching grey cloth interior. Was nice car! Seeing one in existence brings back nostalgic memories
It was never and will never be worth that much.
There's probably that one guy out there who would pay a "premium" for a mint one.
That chevy is not worth much.. The second you see a nest like that under the hood you have to walk away... Not even offering the 100 or so they gave the previous owner to tow it as junk. what does it need? everything.... gtfoh with that.... every single thing on the car is jury rigged is the /chefskiss of death.
Yeah that nest was honestly concerning, I could tell it likely didn't run just from that. I'm sure it could run again, but you would have to deal with the electrical system which could be risky.
I want that car!
If you do, I could give you more info!
1200 still way to much maybe 400 or 500
In a perfect world yes. In modern junkyards, probably not
Are you girls still recording with a spoon in 2024?
1200 for that??? ouchhhh
Yep
If it ran and drove perfectly, then yes 1200 all day. But I don’t think there’s a lot that’s perfect in this car.
Yeah there's some flaws in the paint, interior, and the engine sitting. Best part is probably it being a rust free two door.
Whoever put the prices on those cars is smoking rock for sure!!
I don't know where these prices are coming from haha
400 b engines are actually very sought after in hot rodng circles to make 451 and 474 stroker engines so even if the car was completely rusted out it would still be worth picking up especially early ones 75 and older have heavy-duty main cradles.
I'm learning that these engines and drivetrains apparently do have a demand somewhere in the performance world, which is pretty neat!
Another beautiful classic on the road, great job!
Newbie here watching Newbie there😅
!
That's crazy and it's a two-door too that's definitely can find a buyer
Yeah I was surprised it sat that long.
Good save! Cool Chrysler!!
For sure!
Stop batching about the green73 big body car kw wva😢
Sorry!!
I hope u can get it running better than when it was new. My uncle H.V.Cain had a 440 New Yorker brogham top of the line. Ran like crap :( Beautiful car tho
I'm gonna try man, hopefully we can get it there!
There has to be a way to make the camera even more unsteady…
There is, any suggestions?
@@HotMustang Wear a beanie with a propeller and mount it to the prop?
@@user-fw6xr3ue2q Not a bad idea!
Pull a part 😮. It's nice.
You actually figured it out!
Just subscribed, i want to see this car run. Good luck to you.
Thanks man, really appreciate your support!
Gotta learn on something have fun on your journey !!
Very true, and will do!
That’s the real question
It sure is...
The 400 had plenty of power,,And is a very smooth reliable engine.
Save for sure, not many left 👍👍💪
Save👍👍👍💪
Yes they had metallic paint in the 1970s. They even had it in the 1950's. My 1972 Mercury Montego had what was referred to as Glamour paint, which was an optional metallic finish on the car. It was a similar green to your 73 Newport with yellow metallic flakes from the factory.
Yeah I'm realizing, I sure was wrong lol
This Would be able to donate a few parts to keep something else alive
"There's no way they were painting cars metallic in the 70's". Good Lord! Another internet expert!!!! Metallics were common in the early 60's unless you were in a third world country
Give me a break bro I'm young hahaha, I wasn't around back then
The sound of the Highland Park Hummingbird turning over the motor. Music to my ears.
It is a nice sound!
Bring to All Chrysler National Show at Carlisle, PA fairground in mid July 😎
Plan on bringing it to a show one day, will keep Carlisle mind!
Save the Chrysler Newport C-Body
your looking at surface rust on a 51 year old car come on guy is it that terrible? If it is I guess you should stay away from classic cars and just buy new cars only
Buy new cars? I'd go bankrupt!! Haha but nah I was overexaggerating it's really not bad. However, I think the rust scared some away as one time someone asked my friend about it and when he said it had rust, guy walked away.

Yeah the 400 had a 2 barrel carb and the 440 was a 4 barrel carb and that is a 2bbl so it's for sure a 400
Yeah it's a 400 for sure, took forever figuring it out.
400 is a good engine all it is a 383 bored out and the 400 has the biggest bore off all the mopar engines including the 440. That's a cool car being a 2 door car
Good looking ol car glad you saved it 🙏. Only thing they are unibody construction I had a 4 door one and I constructed a full perimeter chassis all the way to the back. And it was like a tank after that.
It really is, seemed a bit too nice to risk it dying. That chassis sounded like a pretty big project!
Yep, has the Mopar starter sound we grew up with.
Cool I subbed just cause you are saving this car... 400 is still good actually stronger block than 440 by virtue of the shorter deck.
Appreciate you for sticking around! If that's the case with the block being stronger, sounds like we have more going here.
Spray some used motor oil on the undercarriage and frame to loosen up the rust. Then spray some Fluid Film or likewise product on it to protect it from getting worse.
Will keep that in mind👍
I had one with the HD suspension (larger front sway bar, extra leaf in rear springs, wider tires) and I put KYB shocks all around. It ate up roadways. The shocks took out the little bit of wallow it got above 60mph. Nice car they are.
Nice! Heavy duty almost makes it sound like a police interceptor set up.
The had metallic paint in the 70's...I bought many original paint Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth even in the 60's they had metallic paint! I think the late 1940's manufacturers had metallic paint.
Yeah someone else mentioned that too, always learning something new.
Awesome!! put a 440 crank in the 400 aka 451 and research how good 400's are! I had a 73 Charger Rallye 400 Magnum 4bbl and it ran 13.90's in the 1/4 car was stock,awesome time for a low compression,weaker smog engine! So even the smog 400's run good! This was 1989 and the car had 90,000 verified miles and ran perfect.I only changed the carb to a 850cfm and added a stage 2 shift kit had factory 3.55 gears.I only ran it 3 times and had 225/70 series 14 inch tires! (I have a black book with what cars I owned and what time sit ran if I took it)..My current 70 Charger 500 is factory metallic F-8 green with a 496 stroker and runs 11's in the 1/4 with 3.23 gears and street tires meaning could be a 10 second car in a weekend! I am in my early 50's old yes I bought/sold/collect/restored many of them.Sorry for being excited for you lol..
Wow, that definitely sounds impressive for working with a 400! Been learning a bit recently that there is potential in performance for the 400s and that it's technically derived from the 383. And you don't have to be sorry, we all share excitement about cars in our own ways!
First of all, my math indicates that a 4.34 bore with a 3.75 inch stroke = 444 cubic inches. ((4.34/2)EXP2 x pi x 3.75 x 8) Secondly, the 440 crankshaft has larger main journals, so the 400 block would have to be line bored to accept the larger bearings. (2.625" vs 2.750"). Thirdly, the surface that accepts the trust faces would also have to be machined to accept the 440 thrust bearing. In my opinion, that's a lot of expense for 4 cubic inches. Simply use a 440 block.
Put in a 440 crankshaft and make a 451for pavement twisting torque👍

Good on ya!!
Be careful underneath Chrysler unibody cars with torsion bars if one snaps you better be super skinny or extremely fast,if not you will be a goner in seconds flat .They make a loud noise when they snap.ouch have fun be safe enjoy.❤🏁💯💪💰👍
Well now I have something new to fear every time I go under haha, but thanks for letting me know I'll keep that in mind!
