This was so fun to watch. I was the last person to drive this car. I replaced the heads with LT1 300 horse corvette heads. I also put that carburetor on there. I went through 4 quadrajunks. The Qjets are great when they work but I always had problems with them so I bought that Holley to replace the quadrajunk. I had to park it because of the body mount in the trunk. You can see on the left when they opened the truck the missing section where the body meets the frame. I hope one day my family and I can restore it but this made my heart happy to hear her run again!
Awesum..thank you for ..as Paul Harvey always said...And Now For The REST of the STORY! Hey, it's -17 below ZERO here in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin and we just had 6" of snow, so the shovelling is done and I'm warming up watching this video. Thanks again.
We viewers would love to see videos of you and your family work on it, and drive it as is to enjoy it until you have the budget to fully restore it. That car deserves to be brought back to its factory original beige paint
I’m glad you took the time to use the Cre-Oil in the cylinders before turning the key. People tend to underestimate the importance of pre-lubing the cylinders, especially in an engine that’s been sitting up as long as this one.
Totally agree Sly! Thanks for watching, much appreciated! We will announce winners in the next video. Do not trust any scammer text should you receive one.
I owned a 1965 Impala. With a 283 . Christina has done her homework on these cars.I started a business out of the trunk of it. And became successful for over 36 years. yes , move it! Thank you again for another successful start.
I had a 65 Impala 396 car which I sold a few years back before I started my channel.....All I have is my 1971 Nova now....Miss that Impala but a good friend of mine bought it from me......Well do to the both of you!!! Hope this one is back on the road soon!!!!
Back in 1976 (I had a full service gas station in Dallas) I purchased a 1966 Belair with a 283 and Powerglide for $60, it would not start and the local Chevrolet dealer had offered $50 for it as a trade-in. I offered the owner $10 more and she sold it to me. For some reason the distributor cap was broken which I replaced and it started right up and ran great. The air conditioner blew so cold that you could see your breath in it even when it was 100 degrees here in Texas. When it was time for my second son to be born, it was the car I chose to take my wife to the hospital in. I had several other vehicles but chose this one for its absolute reliability. I think the 1966 Chevrolet Impala/Belair was one of the best cars ever made.
@@markwilliams5606 It is hard to beat a 283 with a PG trans pretty much bullet proof. I purchased a 1966 Biscayne Police car (had to pay $600 for that one, 43K miles and it belonged to the actual Sheriff, it was well taken care of) when I came home from Vietnam in Jan. 70, it came with a 396 and Turbo trans. First thing I did was take off the 396 emblems and boy did I surprise a lot of folks around Camp LeJeune NC.
@@SlyDellian My gas station (Shamrock) was on Abrams Rd. in between Skillman and Northwest Hwy. around the corner from Keller's Drive-In and Steakley Chevrolet.
Lifelong car guy here. I grew up in my Dad's full service station in the seventies and eighties. He worked at a GM dealership in the sixties. I've been the shop foremost at a GM dealership for the past twenty eight years, just recently retired. Enjoying your videos, makes me feel a little like I'm still doing it 😃. Oh, and Cre-oil, yes Cre-oil!
Thanks for sharing Ron! I bet you've seen some amazing vehicles over the years. We will announce winners in the next video. Do not trust scammer text should you receive one.
Thanks for another great video. Brought back some great memories when I was young. My dad was always Ford and bought his first Chevy, a 1967 Chevy Impala . I'll never forget that car. It was a four door hardtop with a 396 motor. It was our first car to ever have air conditioning , power steering , and seat belts. It was fast. That car went through four of us kids. After all of us left home , he ended up selling it to a friend who then removed the motor and transmission and put it in a 67 ss chevelle.
Like I said before, it's amazing how tough these old American cars are. My daily driver is a 87 Dodge Diplomat, AHB car, 126800 original miles. It took a lot of time because of supply chain issues, but it runs great, and it's my only car.
When i was a kid in the mid 70s my buddies dad had a 65 impala with buckets and console and i believe a 283. I think he still has it now, sitting in the same garage for near 50 years. That's a nice auto, very strong, solid engine, you can tell by the sound. She's got balls. Love your videos, ya got me hooked. Very knowledgeable, great detail, methodical approach.
Richard you are such an example how to treat your beautiful wife! You guys are dynamic together! It so beautiful to see a couple get along the way you do!!❤
In high school I had a 66 Impala SS will the factory for speed was an awesome car this video brings back a lot of good memories of once again a great job you two did great job the history part was very interesting and I have cre oil in my garage keep up the great work
Thanks Jerry appreciate you watching! We'll enter you in the drawing for Cre-Oil! We will announce winners in our next video. Do not trust scammer text should you receive one.
My parents had 66 Impala when I was a kid in the 70s I loved how you just lie down on the back seat and feel the heat coming off the driveshaft hump. The good old days 🤣
Great video, guys. Love the car, and the story on the car is awesome 👌. Oh yes, cre-oil. It's awesome how much the impala name means so much to so many people. What a truly incredible piece of history. Great job to both of you for keeping dreams alive.
Thanks guys! The two of you are REALLY working on an Impala! 62 is that correct? We will announce winners in the next video. Do not trust any scammer text should you receive one. Take care friends!
@What the Rust? yes, it is brother a 62 impala such an incredible car, got hood fenders doors deck lid all down to steal and ready for body work repair so we are both looking forward to learning those steps.
I Love the old Center Line Rims! I've heard a few folks say that they don't but in my day of Teen years they were the coolest and newest type of Hot rod wheel! These are pretty tame in their size and width but I think they still make the car look cooler!
My first car, I bought from my aunt was a 1965 chevy impala ss--- white with black vinal top! I went everywhere with that car--as my grandfather and I completely rebuilt that car for a wedding present for my aunt. Two years later, that impala was mine! My grandfather was a mechanic for the Buick dealer in town, and completely repaired the body and interior and I helped rebuild the engine, transmission and rear differential. The only thing it had that was added after it was built , were seatbelts and air conditioning! My first car in 1978!
Always very nice to see how you proceed with respect for the car. I can feel the joy (too) when the V8 is firing again however it's not perfect, after so many years sleeping. Images are good enough to see a lot of details including particular designs. I could not believe there is only one (rear) exhaust for this 1966 V8 ...
When I was a teenager I had a 66 SS with a 327 and the famous double hump heads. Mine had a 3 speed automatic. Bucket seats and console. I miss that old car.
My Dad replaced a 1960 Impala with a 1966 model.Both were 6 cylinder models.The 1966 was in a junkyard with a cracked block and rusty quarters in late 1972.
this reminds me of the 66 impala I drove in high school and college.I changed the oil in it many times....good memories it was a great car never left me stranded .....
19:14 I remember these when they came out. It wasn’t for a broken motor mount but it was to stop the engine from torquing over and breaking a motor mount.
That Holley was a late '70's- '80's Quadrajet replacement. I've seen those before but I really don't like them. They were designed as a 'Holley' with the Vac sec. to directly replace a Qjet. That's why it has that inlet there so you could use the existing line. I think if you pull it off it should be a spread bore carb. GM had a MAJOR recall over those motor mounts in the '60's or early '70's. There was a good article in a really old PM magazine n the late '60's or early '70's I read. (No I'm not that old, got it at a flea market or antique shop.) That cable was a required recall fix. The cars would go wide open throttle sometimes with the mount breaking and jam the shift linkage too. Bad news. Was watching while typing. Guess you got the answer on the carb.
@@christinarust6957 My brother bought a 1968 Impala 2 dr with a 327 about 30 some years ago from a classified ad. I was a true 'old lady' car with 50-60k miles, totally original stock. It had those weird engine restraining cables too. It had to do with the 'glue' they used to sandwich the rubber on those mounts. My grandfather had a new 1965 Chev Biscayne 4 dr with a 6 cyl and 3 speed manual on the column. He ived in the 'salt belt' and I think it lasted 10 years before the frame rusted and broke right above the rear wheel on the driver side whle he was driving it. He ended up scrapping it. I was shocked to discover they made so many of those cars! I like the gauges and tail lights on the '65 a little more.
My first new car was that one. Same color and all. Only mine was a 3 speed on column. Enjoyed that car. I had it when I got married. It took us on many adventures.
Your view from under the car brought back memories. My parents had a 65 Impala 4 door sedan with a 327 250 HP. I spent a lot of time maintaining this vehicle so the under hood and under vehicle shots sure looked familiar. The small block is so rugged, it didn't surprise me with the quick start.
Cre Oil, the gold standard! (I went to their website) Good stuff, as are your videos. I had a '71 impala, great cross country car. Thanks for the videos.
I had a 66 4 door, was from my brother who got it from our parents. I also had 2 66 Belair's, one 4 door and a 2 door. Loved the old cars, very easy to work on.
My very first car in 1977 was a 1964 Chevy Impala four-door. It was brown with the light tan top. Man, I wish I still had that car. The crazy thing is many years later my very first pick up was a 1964 Chevy.
I'm the 3rd owner of my 65 SS Impala. It was made here in Los Angeles and the two previous owners lived in LA. I brought it back all stock, it looks like when it rolled off the line. its been 10 years since I restored it. The only down side is I can never just stop somewhere, like to put gas, without being asked questions and stopping me from leaving the locatioin. :)
Absolutely love your videos. This one taking place in Kentucky makes it even better. I'm originally from Henderson but lived all over W Ky. I now live in Utah. Hanging out with your beautiful sweetheart while working on awesome cars is this guys dream.But those days probably have passed me by. New viewer, but now I'm hooked. Y'all are awesome
Christina, I'll answer your request - While my very first vehicle was a 1934 Ford V8 Pick-up truck in 1967 while I was in my sophomore year in High School..my first car was a 1963 Corvair Convertible Red with White top, flipped it ..upside down on my parents anniversary! Ouch, my Dad told me I had to fix it...I was 16. I did that, scrounging through salvage yards for a Conv.top and windshield. When I finished, it looked and drove so well one of my friends bought it. Then the 1966 Chevy SS Impala came into my life, Bronze metallic with Black interior, 327 cu.in. Corvette engine and 4 speed, and the sound was powerful with Dual Continental glass packs. Everyone loved that car. Until I got broadsided on Highway 41, by a brand new 1970 Ford Galaxie 500....totalled both cars. I survived both accidents..barely. I have many more adventures..I'm 70+ years old and love you both. Thank you so much for all you and Richard do! God Bless.
Great stories! If the parents of today told their children "you broke it, you fix it". Nothing would ever get fixed. 1934 Ford Pick-up...I'd love that now! Thanks for sharing - Christina.
Love watching you guys. Richard you look to be fighting off a cold, hope your doing well. Christina you look lovely as always. The grins when that engine starts is so much fun to see. The owners grin was priceless. That will certainly be a great looking vehicle once it is cleaned up and the rusty trunk and trunk lid are fixed up. Looking forward to the next one. You should come back to do the Torino and use the Impala as the vehicle for getting parts from O’Riellys and use it to boost the Torino. Thanks to you both.👍👍🇨🇦
Another great episode! I grew up with those cars. My first car was a 64 chevy ll 6 banger. Drove the wheels off that thing. Good job as always bringing another classic back to life. Would love to see it cleaned up & driving down the road. You gotta go back though & work on that 69 Torino. That is one sweet car too!
Great video! I never owned a '66 Impala, but my very first car was a '67 Impala convertible, and right after that one I bought a '67 Impala two-door hardtop. The hardtop was a beautiful factory red, and was a really unique car. It had power brakes, a three-speed on the tree, no power steering, and no radio (it had the factory plate over where the radio would have been), but it had factory air conditioning. A truly odd mix of options...or lack thereof! Wish I had them both back.
Nice work. Dad got me a 66 black impala with a 283 dual exhaust with a powerglide, this was back in 1974. It was a little beat up,but it still was pretty cool.Every now and then that car pops up in a dream and upon awakening,alas .it is gone. It was a 2 door.
I learned to drive on a '65 Impala 4-door and had a '67 2-door Fastback just after High School. The'67 had a 327 from a 'vette (bronze valve guides). I got clocked by a State Trooper friend of my Dad at 132mph slowing down. My friend in his Mustang 302/4spd/4bbl couldn't pass me - the Impala had a 2bbl Rochester and a 2spd automatic and the gas pedal was an inch off the floor. Used to crack pistons, though (timed a bit advanced but no ping - Premium [105 Octane] gas). Good times. Thanks for the memories! Oh - Cre-Oil! 😎
@@christinarust6957 hi Christina I was just wondering if you ever up the New Jersey Way on Route 70 near Pennsylvania Cherry Hill area and get my car started it's been 3 years sitting and I won't be able to find a good mechanic to get it started its a 1953 Pontiac Chieftain 8 cylinder automatic beautiful car and she shopping 3 years and I feel so sad because of the pandemic and I had some health issues in the hospital but I'm out I'm okay and I want to get it running can you come and help me do you know when you can do it and let me know and whatever the cost will be I would really appreciate you getting back to me thank you guys and good luck and God bless
My dad has a 66 caprice 2 door. It was his first car and he still owns it. It's been off the road longer than I've been alive. We swapped out the 307 he put in it years ago for a 350. We started rust repair and brakes when he was diagnosed with cancer and we haven't been able to work on it lately. They're such cool cars!
I've loved car's and old trucks since I was a youth, I put my first clutch in at 10yrs, old in a 1960, Plymouth valiant with a slant six,three speed in the floor!
I haven't commented in a while. Sorry. Broke my back having surgery in a few weeks. Absolutely love this channel. Excellent job Richard and your lovely wife. Had a 67 4 door 283 back in the day. Thanks for sharing❤❤❤ and blessings❤❤❤
That carb is probably a badass,that is from when they made shit right,looks beefy.I just built a 66'IMPALA SS ZZ502/5SPD,12 BOLT,17" ALL AROUND,BADBOY,,,GOOD LUCK
Sweet great to see you guys back out again doing what you do best bringing relics of the past back to life deffo give the 69 a run for its money 🎉 keep it up
Hi from Scotland Richard & Cristina. Nice job there, and a decent environment to work in. Richard added a touch of sartorial elegance with the old towel being used as a scarf. It made a lovely sound when started, it kinda rumbled along at its own pace. It’s a very restorable car, and hopefully it will be. Richards knowledge and descriptions of the process is really informative, and is a real differentiator when it comes to watching your videos. Great job as always, & looking forward to the next one. Oh, btw I’ve searched here in the UK and I cannot see Cre Oil in the UK market. A marketing opportunity perhaps ?
Hi John, Apologies, I thought we had responded to your comment Monday. Thank you for watching and supporting our channel. Your comments are always a joy to read. Take care.
Great video, my first car was a 65 Chevy Impala SS with a 283, it had 80,000 miles on it and ran so smooth, one of the best cars I ever owned! Loved working on it as well.
My grandparents had a '65 Chevy impala station wagon every weekend during the summer they would pack all of us grandchildren in it and go to the lake camping and fishing
Great segment, our dad took my older brother and I too the Chevy dealer in 1966 and let us pick the family car, we ended up with New Impala SS 396 4 speed it lasted though 3 brothers all the way too 1976 whin dad sold her, I have wished over the years that I would have bought the car from dad.

Always very nice to see how you proceed with respect for the car.
I can feel the joy (too) when the V8 is firing again however it's not perfect, after so many years sleeping.
Images are good enough to see a lot of details including particular designs.

66 SS how sweet!
My Dad replaced a 1960 Impala with a 1966 model.Both were 6 cylinder models.The 1966 was in a junkyard with a cracked block and rusty quarters in late 1972.

He ived in the 'salt belt' and I think it lasted 10 years before the frame rusted and broke right above the rear wheel on the driver side whle he was driving it. He ended up scrapping it. I was shocked to discover they made so many of those cars! I like the gauges and tail lights on the '65 a little more.
Awsome video guys! I just love too watch you two ! Your like the Dynamic duo of the will it start Family! Keep them wrenches flying!
We appreciate the compliment! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
That car is pretty clean for being 56 years old that was the year I was born thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching Tracy!
I got my drivers license. April 16/1973. My dad had 1966 Chevy. Biscayne station wagon. Straight six. Engine. Had. Fun. With that car. Thanks
You're welcome!
Well done Richard and Christina, yes definitely go back and get the Ford going and then maybe we can see the impala running too!
Agree! Thanks for watching Andy, much appreciated!
Good Job!! Time to come back and revive the 69 Ford. Keep it up
Agree! Thanks for watching Lynn much appreciated!
We agree Lynn! Thanks for the comment.
Would love to see you all work on the Ford next, clean up both cars, then take them for a ride.
Thoroughly enjoy your channel.
My first new car was that one. Same color and all. Only mine was a 3 speed on column. Enjoyed that car. I had it when I got married. It took us on many adventures.
We are glad that video brought back some good memories. Thanks for watching.
Your view from under the car brought back memories. My parents had a 65 Impala 4 door sedan with a 327 250 HP. I spent a lot of time maintaining this vehicle so the under hood and under vehicle shots sure looked familiar. The small block is so rugged, it didn't surprise me with the quick start.
Thanks for sharing Dave and we appreciate you watching. Agree, that small block is definitely rugged!
both of those cars deserve a full restoration.
Cre Oil, the gold standard! (I went to their website) Good stuff, as are your videos. I had a '71 impala, great cross country car. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for watching Peter much appreciated! We will announce winners in the next video. Do not trust scammer text!
I had a 66 4 door, was from my brother who got it from our parents. I also had 2 66 Belair's, one 4 door and a 2 door. Loved the old cars, very easy to work on.
That is a nice group of old Chevys.
This guy can start any engine. Amazing!
My very first car in 1977 was a 1964 Chevy Impala four-door. It was brown with the light tan top. Man, I wish I still had that car. The crazy thing is many years later my very first pick up was a 1964 Chevy.
Definitely a woo-hoo moment for you two. Quite an easy fix and it ran so well as a result of your expertise, well done.
Thanks very much!
You guys are awesome. Cre-Oil.
Thanks Will much appreciated! We will announce winners in the next video. Do not trust scammer text!
Thanks Will. Appreciate your support.
I'm the 3rd owner of my 65 SS Impala. It was made here in Los Angeles and the two previous owners lived in LA. I brought it back all stock, it looks like when it rolled off the line. its been 10 years since I restored it. The only down side is I can never just stop somewhere, like to put gas, without being asked questions and stopping me from leaving the locatioin. :)
I can certainly imagine that. I would probably be one of the people wanting to talk!
Got one of those fire maker fuel filters on it. Elvis made a movie called King Cre-oil .
Elvis was and is amazing! Thanks for watching! We will announce winners in the next video. Do not trust scammer text!
Car is in good shape for the shape it's in.
Will be happy to see that Torino Conv. updated and running!
Very cool old Impala! Love the videos! Would also love to try some Cre-Oil! It looks very good. Thank you! Keep up the great videos!
Thanks for watching much appreciated! We will announce winners in the next video. Do not trust scammer text!
Yes definitely get the toreno going
Agree! Thanks for watching Doug!
Absolutely love your videos. This one taking place in Kentucky makes it even better. I'm originally from Henderson but lived all over W Ky. I now live in Utah. Hanging out with your beautiful sweetheart while working on awesome cars is this guys dream.But those days probably have passed me by. New viewer, but now I'm hooked. Y'all are awesome
Thank you for the support Barry. It's never too late to pursue a dream!
That's another jewl! Thank you bouth, beautiful couple, for bring us fun and knowledge! Oh, CRE-OIL.
Thanks Gian! We will announce the Cre-Oil winners in our next video. Do not trust scammer text should you receive one.
This holds a special place for me. Back in 1971 this was my first car. Keep up the good work . I wish I had one now!!!!’
Glad you liked it Mark. That was a great car to have!
Christina, I'll answer your request - While my very first vehicle was a 1934 Ford V8 Pick-up truck in 1967 while I was in my sophomore year in High School..my first car was a 1963 Corvair Convertible Red with White top, flipped it ..upside down on my parents anniversary! Ouch, my Dad told me I had to fix it...I was 16. I did that, scrounging through salvage yards for a Conv.top and windshield. When I finished, it looked and drove so well one of my friends bought it. Then the 1966 Chevy SS Impala came into my life, Bronze metallic with Black interior, 327 cu.in. Corvette engine and 4 speed, and the sound was powerful with Dual Continental glass packs. Everyone loved that car. Until I got broadsided on Highway 41, by a brand new 1970 Ford Galaxie 500....totalled both cars. I survived both accidents..barely. I have many more adventures..I'm 70+ years old and love you both. Thank you so much for all you and Richard do! God Bless.
Great stories! If the parents of today told their children "you broke it, you fix it". Nothing would ever get fixed. 1934 Ford Pick-up...I'd love that now! Thanks for sharing - Christina.
@@whattherust appreciate the response 😊. I wish I had photo or video of my working on the Corvair, 17 years old and I got it done 👍.
Love watching you guys. Richard you look to be fighting off a cold, hope your doing well. Christina you look lovely as always. The grins when that engine starts is so much fun to see. The owners grin was priceless. That will certainly be a great looking vehicle once it is cleaned up and the rusty trunk and trunk lid are fixed up. Looking forward to the next one. You should come back to do the Torino and use the Impala as the vehicle for getting parts from O’Riellys and use it to boost the Torino. Thanks to you both.👍👍🇨🇦
Thanks Dan! Definitely need to go back for the Torino and to get the Impala moving! Appreciate you watching.
I liked your videos that you rescue cars and bring them back to life, that's beautiful, I'm your follower, I give you 💯
Thanks for the support!
love the 66 Impala I had a 65 SS as we all wish we had them today but love what you did to the car
Thank you William.
Another great episode! I grew up with those cars. My first car was a 64 chevy ll 6 banger. Drove the wheels off that thing. Good job as always bringing another classic back to life. Would love to see it cleaned up & driving down the road. You gotta go back though & work on that 69 Torino. That is one sweet car too!
Thanks very much! We will be back for the Torino!
Cre oil looks amazing!
Thanks for watching David much appreciated! We will announce winners in the next video. Do not trust scammer text!
Great video! I never owned a '66 Impala, but my very first car was a '67 Impala convertible, and right after that one I bought a '67 Impala two-door hardtop. The hardtop was a beautiful factory red, and was a really unique car. It had power brakes, a three-speed on the tree, no power steering, and no radio (it had the factory plate over where the radio would have been), but it had factory air conditioning. A truly odd mix of options...or lack thereof! Wish I had them both back.
That was an odd mix of options and red... I bet it was a beauty. Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it!
Nice work. Dad got me a 66 black impala with a 283 dual exhaust with a powerglide, this was back in 1974. It was a little beat up,but it still was pretty cool.Every now and then that car pops up in a dream and upon awakening,alas .it is gone. It was a 2 door.
That is a cool stroy. The car must have meant a lot to be dreaming of it nearly 50 years later.
My uncle had a 67 Impala and it was a reliable car. He was only 3 years older than me. He had it a long time.
The 67 is a good looking car. One of my friends had one in high school.
I learned to drive on a '65 Impala 4-door and had a '67 2-door Fastback just after High School. The'67 had a 327 from a 'vette (bronze valve guides). I got clocked by a State Trooper friend of my Dad at 132mph slowing down. My friend in his Mustang 302/4spd/4bbl couldn't pass me - the Impala had a 2bbl Rochester and a 2spd automatic and the gas pedal was an inch off the floor. Used to crack pistons, though (timed a bit advanced but no ping - Premium [105 Octane] gas). Good times. Thanks for the memories!
Oh - Cre-Oil! 😎
Thanks for sharing Jim! We will announce winners in the next video. Do not trust scammer text!
Wow! Great story! 132 mph and slowing down...my kind of driving!
@@whattherust Ask me about fun times on motorcycles 😁

Thanks Michael we appreciate you watching!
Great job love watching your video
Thanks David!
Thanks, David, we appreciate your support!
Great job! I would have loved to see that old Impala cruising up the road, though. Thanks guys!
Thanks David. Christina wanted to see that car drive! Hopefully on the return trip.
Two-door hardtop that is a nice car
Good to see you back.. Love your videos.
Thanks Dwayne much appreciated!

The car is located on Route 70 in Lakewood New Jersey
Such an interesting couple.
My first job after highschool was Datsun dealership 1972 thru 76 I worked the parts department.$1.60 per hour 40 hour week.
My dad has a 66 caprice 2 door. It was his first car and he still owns it. It's been off the road longer than I've been alive. We swapped out the 307 he put in it years ago for a 350. We started rust repair and brakes when he was diagnosed with cancer and we haven't been able to work on it lately. They're such cool cars!
Sorry to hear about that. They certainly are cool cars.
Fake out!! Awesome car! That Torino is sweet too.
Love your video on a 1966 Impala it's nice to have some information about the car but I really enjoyed watching it
Glad you liked it Michael. Thanks for watching.
I've loved car's and old trucks since I was a youth, I put my first clutch in at 10yrs, old in a 1960, Plymouth valiant with a slant six,three speed in the floor!
That is awesome!
@@whattherust I love you both of you God bless you!
@@wayneduffey3227 Thank you for the kind words Wayne!
Those cables coming off the motor mounts came standard equipment,every impala I have owned had them.
I haven't commented in a while. Sorry. Broke my back having surgery in a few weeks. Absolutely love this channel. Excellent job Richard and your lovely wife. Had a 67 4 door 283 back in the day. Thanks for sharing❤❤❤ and blessings❤❤❤
Oh no! Richard and I are so sorry to hear that! Take care, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Another great "Will it Start" well done - always impressed by you depth of knowledge (both of you) - thanks guys and oh yes lets see the Ford fire up
Thanks for watching Lance. Appreciate the nice comment.
Sweet great to see you guys back out again doing what you do best bringing relics of the past back to life deffo give the 69 a run for its money 🎉 keep it up
Appreciate the comment Dave! Agree, we'll need to make a return visit.
My sister had a 66 Caprice 327. What a nice car.
Hi from Scotland Richard & Cristina. Nice job there, and a decent environment to work in. Richard added a touch of sartorial elegance with the old towel being used as a scarf.
It made a lovely sound when started, it kinda rumbled along at its own pace.
It’s a very restorable car, and hopefully it will be.
Richards knowledge and descriptions of the process is really informative, and is a real differentiator when it comes to watching your videos.
Great job as always, & looking forward to the next one.
Oh, btw I’ve searched here in the UK and I cannot see Cre Oil in the UK market. A marketing opportunity perhaps ?
Hi John, Apologies, I thought we had responded to your comment Monday. Thank you for watching and supporting our channel. Your comments are always a joy to read. Take care.
@@christinarust6957
Hi Christina…not a problem. I look forward to each video.
Great video, my first car was a 65 Chevy Impala SS with a 283, it had 80,000 miles on it and ran so smooth, one of the best cars I ever owned! Loved working on it as well.
Those 65s are great. Amazing style.
My grandparents had a '65 Chevy impala station wagon every weekend during the summer they would pack all of us grandchildren in it and go to the lake camping and fishing
Thanks for sharing! Cars bring back forgotten memories.
Great segment, our dad took my older brother and I too the Chevy dealer in 1966 and let us pick the family car, we ended up with New Impala SS 396 4 speed it lasted though 3 brothers all the way too 1976 whin dad sold her, I have wished over the years that I would have bought the car from dad.
That was an amazing car!
Hi Rich.....Another great job done. Your a fantastic Machanic. You really know your stuff. Grate Job Rich!
Thank you very much Jim!
