- This car was abandoned at the same junkyard as several of my other rescues. Although it is not a hardtop it was the highest trim level Chevrolet offered in 1964 and also has a 283 V8 engine and Powerglide 2 speed transmission.

We all want to see a Mortske t-shirt with “Still looking for a battery sponsor” on it.
Hahaha if I sold enough I could buy a battery!
@@bobbyhall8862 nothing wrong with having a pup hang out when you're working on a project

@@bobbyhall8862 It’s not just mechanics, al types of people have been giving and receiving companionship from animals since before recorded history.
As a Locksmith for the last 51 years, I can assure you, back in the day, GM stamped the key code # on the door lock cylinder case, Trunk lock cylinder case & the glove box cylinder case. IF you bring the 4 digit key code # to any Locksmith, they can cut you a set of the original keys; back then, the key code numbers began with the 8000 # series. MOST of the GM models back then had a removable clip on the side of the door, above the lock assembly, which held the lock cylinder in the door. Remove the clip & the cylinder will come out, revealing the key code #. Keep in mind back then, 1 key worked ALL the locks. BTW, the Ignition lock "ring" will NOT come off until the lock cylinder is removed. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the info!
U must mean really old school cause all the old gms I've owned were square ignition and round for doors and trunk
I came home from the Children’s Home when I was adopted, in a 1964 Impala very similar to this one. I’m 57 years old now. I still get a little misty eyed when I see one!
Good stuff thanks for watching and commenting Paul!
Thank you for your content! I love the channel! You have a great sense of vision of your collection! In my teenage years, I lived next to a Parts Store/Tow Company/Full Service Garage/ including Dyno Service! I was in heaven when I was there. Returning twice in my lifetime to work the counter. You would have fit right in with Pops! Keep up the good work!
@@BigBeautifulOne1963 Sounds like a great upbringing Paul!
@@MortskeRepair It indeed was! Thanks again for your channel!
Good Story and Salute 2 u
1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-Door Sedan in Daytona Blue. Options include 283 V-8 with 195 horsepower, Powerglide ($199), Full wheel covers ($18), Driver seat belt ($10), Front grill guard ($19), Rear bumper guard ($10), Push-button radio ($57), Tinted glass on windshield ($22).
Great info!
For a car that sat for nearly 3 decades, she looks and sounds great. Two more thumbs up for bringing one more American classic back to life.
Hey Mortske, it's a year later, and funny thing! You have 100k subscribers! 😜😂🤣
Have I missed the video where you have a taste of the Certs from this 1964 Impala?
Love your work, glad I've found the channel. They probably won't kill you🤘😎🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺
Grandma had good taste. I like her car give it a wash and put the hub caps back on it
and I think Grandma is ready for bingo again.
I think Grandma was a Hot Rodder. You know the chrome gives Grandma 6 or 7 more horse power.
I like his and Duff's videos.
Keep em coming..
I knew you watched the Red Green Show! Every time I see your videos I get vibes of it.
If the women don't find ya handsome! They should at least find ya handy!
Man what happened to that old Ford/Chevy RV body swap, I’d love to see more of it
Stay tuned!

I only come here to see Duff Dog doing his thing.
You and everyone else!
I love watching the revivals and the knowledge that comes with them. Thanks mortske for the content you make man
@@donovanbutler My pleasure Donovan!
Agreed. Duff needs his own channel.
@@kimchipig If only he could type!
I like first start in the shop just because the audio is so much better.
No doubt about that!
I'd forgotten old cars with ashtrays in doors and those small vent windows with the cranks. some good rolling history. thanks, be well.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sweet! That thing is pretty complete. I'd daily that. "Darts" Nice ColdWarMotors reference.
I don't know how you only have 30k subscribers. This content is MUCH better than some of the others out there! Love watching you get these oldies back running again.
Wow, thank you Jake! We'll get there someday!
9 months later he's up to 77k!
@@HoosierSquarebodyGarage ... 154k now! Well deserved ... !!
America is great country! HI from russland!
Thanks for watching over there!
Nothing like a Mortske re run on a Saturday out in the garage.
Not ‘on sale’, but they’re ‘for sale’ at yer ocean-front property! Most humorous & optimistic video yet
Glad you enjoyed it Joe!
Good save, Love old impalas!
It's your channel---do WHAT YOU want! Informative either way! I'll keep watching.
Much appreciated!
Those Chevy and Cadillacs of the mid 60s were so cool always wanted a 65 or 66 impala and DeVille
"Duff likes the inside".
The cushions are on the inside. Duff has priorities. 😁
Bring them into the shop. Make it easy on yourself!!
Man l love the shop manager, duff is the man, I love watching him as much as you,love the Duff old car rides,keep it up Brother
Good morning Mortskie and duff!!! I love the 64 impala. Awesome car & Awesome content always 👌.
I'm so happy that you sold that 60, no more temptation!
Another sweet find Mortske, and you are right about old Chevys they just wanna run. Love ya Duff just waiting for your Daddy to open the that door so you can give it the sniff over 👍 When I have the time your my go to channel brother. Entertaining and educational
Right on!
My Grandpaw (who I miss terribly) had a 63 Impala for almost all my early years.
That car is quite solid for the most part,frame looks good on it.
Front and rear bumper guards were optional. some Impalas had two per side on the rear bumper, the gas door guard was also an option. many of these parts were dealer add ons like the door edge guards and window vent shades.Thanks for saving another classic from the scrap yard!
Thanks for the info Roy!
I love the "Will She Run?"' episodes. I would suggest doing both. If it's ugly weather and poor conditions, trailer them home. Nice day and a good location for Duff to run around, try to drive it home. I for one would be happy with both and/or either.
Nice find! She will make somebody a great restoration project. It’s good to see these old cars still being saved. 👍👍
You got lucky with the front wheel cylinder bolt. I have a 64 biscayne 4 door with front drums and it took me 2 days to get it off. Im not kidding!!!!
Gotta get a Milwaukee impact that puts out 1100 foot pounds of torque!
Freakin love it. And it's a FOOR DOOR. OH YEAH. If that beautiful thing was mine I'd put period correct WHITEWALLS on it and stock caps. Or maybe Dog Dishes.and leave it like that. It's got so much character . Glad you saved it.
I would love to see a wash and buff video on this one. I would love to see how much of that paint comes back. That's a beautiful color.
I like you bringing cars and trucks to your shop to get them going so you can have all your tools and starters and parts and sandwiches too
Thanks Justin
It’s fun to see where they come from.. love seeing people try to get them home after.
I’m just fine with you in the shop- an occasional “in the weeds” for variety but I enjoy watching your method and the humor no matter where. Better for you to be quasi comfortable.
Mortske is like the rest of us grafters he doesn't have any car lifts, the man is old school. That's why I can relate to him👍 we all been there laying in the dirt with rocks digging in the back rust and dust in the eyes mouth nose.😁
Iowa classic cars, everyone should check him out, would love to see a collaboration. I hope someone buys the old Chevy and restores it. Great video.
Thanks man, i will be in mortskes territory this summer!
@@IowaClassicCars cool I'm sure you'd have a blast with him. And Duff.
Great video on that 4door Impala ,glad you got Duff the wonder dog to help you.
Please don't stop saving these great classics.
That's the plan!
Love your videos going through a rough patch in my life and you and Duff make me smile and give me a lift…so thank you
Our pleasure Jay!
The shit coming out of the exhaust is amazing!!!
My wife’s grandma gave me her 63 Belaire when we got married and it was just like that one with no trim and a radio. And as a added bonus she was a school teacher for 50 years or so.
Good stuff Gary!
@@MortskeRepair yeah and it had a working under dash a/c but I sold the car around 1996. It was a great car.
@@vintagedashboard6810 Pretty rare to find AC back then! Add on or not.
@@MortskeRepair I seen on Facebook market place In azle Tex that there is a 57 New Yorker 4 door hardtop and the best thing about it is it has a 392 hemi and it turn free.
Another classic brought back to life!! Good job!
You’ve got to be the only American with a decent sense of humour rock on bud and Duff !!
Awww thanks so much!
I like Impalas almost as much as Duff!
Definitely Dark Blue. I don't think it would have come with a light Blue interior if the body was Black. Most likely Two Tone Blue..
Great video! Who needs network TV. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
My granddad always had Certs in the car. When I was a kid it was always a treat to go for a drive with him 'cause he'd give you a mint.
Thinking about it now I guess we all had bad breath and he was trying to keep from gagging.
Great video you should pressure wash it and do the interior 64 is a classic my first car was a 65 impala.
“Can’t smell nothing” then 2020 started
Watching your videos imparts on me a level of confidence to try and get my truck working again.
I know jack squat about automotives but after dozens of videos of yours and others like yours I’m starting to grasp where to begin and things of that nature.
Keep up the good work.
I learn from my mistakes!
Love these old Impalas. Nice that you saved another! And work in comfort. I like working inside a shop especially if the weather is icky. Less mosquitos.
That's the one nice thing about winter! Satans skeeters are dead!
Working at the shop is always better. Just in case you get really hungry 🤤
For sammitches.
Heat, lectricsisity, and sammiches are waaaay more gooder than getting it started in the weeds. At least when it’s cold out....IMO.
Thanks man for the tag! Much appreciated!
Any time Ryan! Thanks for watching!
beauty car.. and beautiful color.. my favorite LOL both upper and lower flexy hoses...
My favorite smell is burned atf from a cooked transmission. Reminds me of grandmas peach cobbler
Haha I'll be sure to note that next time I get a whiff!
Mine was the SS 327 covetable. White ex. Red interior
Miss that car. History two door.
Working in the shop is always good. I know how much fun being in the mud and snow can be.
That would be an awesome ride! And looks like duff gives his seal of approval
Here's another book for you to read 😂😂
She's a good rig for a purist's restoration and even looks like the glass is all intact. Ol' Grandma liked her stock(ings) and she seems to have survived ok except for where heat and time has got to the interior along with where Mickey and his mates got comfy. That's ok - Grandma got her own back and blew 'em out the exhaust with a pile of "How Dare You" carbon. She sounds real good and goes ok too - even manages a sedate donut or two, so she's a good base for a restore. I aint no purist, but it would be a shame to potentially bugger it up for someone who is coz they aint making the '64 Impala any more (for some reason).
Give her a clean so you can see what she's hiding under her skirts (a before and after video is fine by me, although seeing some of that moss fly off would be cool....and no, I never peeked up my Grandma's skirt!) and I reckon you have a think as to how deep you wanna go into this.
You saved her and made sure she runs and drives under her own power(glide). That's good enough to move her on unless you want to make sure the next guy can step in and drive her from the get-go while she's being done up.
You could do the minimum to set her up as a driver - set her up so she can start and such from the inside, give her some decent brakes, oil changes, spark system maintenance, fuel tank, bushes, tyres, pull the crap hood lining down, give her a vacuum out....etc. and either use her as is yourself or flick her on as a running restoration.....and you should be able to recover what you put into it.
The cash going into this section starts to eat into profits and the car won't necessarily be put the way a potential buyer wants it, whereas if the bodywork, exhaust, wheels (not tyres) and interior are left as is, someone else will see the potential and want it more. Going any further (like some gooder seats or upholstery work on the originals, the door panels and the hood lining, give her headers and twin pipes so she can breathe, then the part you really love - bodywork - and then a good coat of the original colour, maybe some period mags, although I quite like the effect of them hubcaps with the slight whitewall like on the RF corner) would make the car a real going-to-town rig, but it's way more cash and not something that really needs doing.....except maybe for the headers and twins......in order for you to be happy with it, so I reckon leave 'em to the next guy.
I'm torn between suggesting moving her on or getting her up to a driver. Me? If I liked it when I took it for a run after getting it going the first time, would probably 'do the minimum', stick a blanket on the front seat and daily it for a while until I felt different. I prefer old cars to old trucks, so I'd love to see more of this beast, but if you want to move her on now and carry on with getting the others moving, that's cool too.
Always look forward to your novels Lance!! Thanks for watching!
Remember that time you spent more time on that one wheel cylinder then you did on actually starting a car that hadn't been run in 28 years?
AT least it had fluid in it!
@@MortskeRepair LMAO.
Definitely work in your shop. I've rolled on around on concrete and asphalt for most of my shade tree career, but now have an indoor facility. Much better.
Damn! Tapico Pudding and no Puddin shout out! Buy sight unseen and you get quality stuff like the loadstar i just picked up! Videos up! Your wagon is the raddest!
Buyers remorse!! I'll send you some pudding to go with that cheese for your wine!
I don't know man old gas tickles the nose pretty hard but so does that damn 80-90.
I'll take old gas smell over 80/90.
Just bring the cars in the shop, no sense in suffering needlessly.
I don’t care what you do , how you do it , or where you do it . I just enjoy sitting around and watching your videos .
Awesome, thank you!
I really love your old. Car.
Thank you very much.
Too bad Grandma parked it before she could put the Hydros and daytons on it!
Cool old 64 Impala , it's worth saving for sure . Great video
That would be a great project car for someone have a great day
I think fix it up 4 Grandma again.
LOL..
@@deeharris9635 Yep grandma would love it :)
I like that you work on them in the garage. I guess I would also have to say... I like it when you work on them out in the brush. But I guess if it was me? It would just depend on the weather and what mood I’m in. Awesome job putting another Chevy back on the road 👍🏻
As soon as you mentioned that socket set I went and bought one! Thanks Mortske!
Life changing experience!
Pretty cool '64, very straight with minimal rust, bumpers and chrome trim are even straight! This one would be a good resto car.
Duff Dog rocks as always!
That would make a nice project car for the right person. It's basically all there. Nice job!
Yes those plug sockets are a life changing tool.
I love 64 Impalas!
Mortske Repair and Vice Grip Garage would get along very well. Very similar sense of humor.
Pretty nice for a four door ! Duff seemed to like it, too. Those revivals in the field are always fun. Sometimes a guy needs heat, and tools, and beverages though ! I like both kinds.
Mortske, the small block fired right up. Great job. I agree, tee shirts with “Still looking for a battery sponsor “. Great idea from another fan. I can’t believe how much Duff contributes to the show. He’s a great helper. Great video sir. As always. Big Al.
Right on thanks for watching Al!
Packaging .....the bane of a modern civilization. My first car was a 63 pontiac 283 w/ powerglide and she loved her some nuetral drops.
The devil himself invented much packaging.
Favorite classic cars are 64 Impala convertibles. But any 64 Impala is my favorite
Good luck with that old car. Duff really loves that old car like me
Thank you very much. Please tell duff I said hi.
Old school pro tip : never cross thread a spark plug again. Use an old straight boot on the tip to start the plug by hand until the boot slips. If you only got a small amount back up and start again. If it turns several times your good to go. Keep turning and pull. Then ratchet her in there. 90 year old mech. Taught me that. It’s always worked. (More for followers I’m sure you know this )
You can also use a 3-4” piece of fuel line with a 1/2-3/4” slit on one end.
Great tip!
Duff is the only reason I watch your channel, LOL He's a good dog!
He's the reason everyone watches!
Love the old chevs
The shop and the sammichs is the place to be!!
Gonna break down and buy one of your T shirts after I finish today’s video.
Never disappointed watching your vids... another great rescue!
Glad you like them Anthony!
Loved those old chevys. Engines were a breeze to rebuild. 327 was my favorite.
My first road car was a '63 Pontiac Laurentian. It had the same size trunk. No worries about where the cooler was going.
I like the shop makes you stand out and let’s be honest I would be were the heat and beer are I feel like you are a kindred spirit so glad I found your channel I also love the long format keeps me going thank you from a young retired /truck driver/ stay at home dad your videos have kept me sane !
Thanks 👍
Beautiful impala love impala we had 1968 impala 2 door and a 4 door
HI DUDES I love your hunting dog duff english? Well looks like the Impala has great and more crome than others I had a 289 V8 dark blue light color inside 4door rusty frame then a year later the frame fell down from a big bump oh well sold for parts..DAM not to much rust in the trunk.. great tools magnet.. HAHA ! DUFFS saying and sneezing saying open the dam door.That gas tank dam it looks like it was from the TITANIC.. great video !!!!! I watch and stay with you and duff I learned alot but I hate doing f... brakes that car Is a keeper. Thanks peace duff...
My 64 came out of barn storage yesterday. Same but a 230. Had to replace pretty much everything 6 years ago when I first got it-brakes,brake lines and hoses,fuel tank and line,rad, front floor pans and some body work. But it's all available for reasonable money.
Fantastic! My father in law has a 63 Impala SS with a 327....he bought it used in 65...it is still all original and CHERRY! 2 door hardtop 2 tone blue and white. He put Good Year tires on it in 65 and they are still under the mileage and still under warranty! It will be mine one day also!
Dang that's a sweet machine!
Love those cars. Fix it up!
Out in the field or in the shop both are good shows to me mortske keepem comein my friend
Your a hoot brother, we love your videos, we can't stop laughing, you make it special, my wife loves you, and wen you talk to the dog, classic. Thx

I've got a 4 pc set of those from a different manufacturer and love the magnet, wobble. Those pullers have replaced all my old ones.
