SS Chevelle does burnouts after sitting for 40 years

- On this episode we pick up a sweet 1965 chevelle thats been sitting for four decades. My neighbor Bobby bought this car from a friend of his who drove it to high school. Its powered by a small block 327 backed by a Muncie 4 speed and has a 12 bolt rear end out back. The engine was locked up and someone at some point attempted to spin it over but had no luck. My buddy Wesley welded a socket to a plate and bolted the plate to the balancer so it wouldn't damage the threads in the crankshaft. After soaking the cylinders and using a jack handle to turn the engine over it finally broke free.

Watching this. I'm 16 years old again. My first car was a 1965 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS. I paid $675.00 for it. Bought it off of a K-Mart parking lot on the side of the building where their auto repair was in Huntington Beach, CA. It was totally original and I was the third owner. I still have the bill of sale from the guy I got it from. Also I still have the first ticket that I got and yes I was in the Chevelle when I got it. All of that happened in 1976 . Which sometimes feels like a life time ago, then other times it seems like it was just yesterday. And for that to be a real SS it has got to have the numbers 138 in the vin. otherwise it a clone. And Please don't let the owner put a ls in it.
It needs a Lq9
@@trentdawg2832that’s one way to ruin it
Exactly. Rebuild that 327 to original specs. It had plenty of power to have fun with.
Im trolling yall!!!!….just put efi on that old 327
If it were mine though id put a LS in it🤫🤫🤫
CHECK THE POINTS. Have not heard that phrase for 40 plus years! Great job guys
You obviously don't get out much
What are points? Basically
Gap the points with a dime or matchbook cover.. gauge? We don't need no stinking gauge. "😂
@@americafirstmaga5073 used a matchbook cover many times.
@@BariLopesh Either that or he moved on from that type of setup 40 years ago.
I have a '65 Chevelle. I wanted a car that was built the same year I was born. I love this car and will have it as long as I am alive.
Don't think posi was an option on '65 Chevelle... at least, not with BBC 396" engine...
There is something about a revival video that make me so damn happy. Good friends, great neighbor. That’s the way America should be. Plus, always love it when the ladies in my life say “your so stupid” when the boys are being boys.
😅😅😅😅
Wesley is the buddy that everyone needs. He was like a kid in the candy store. 12-Volt, we need more of these long videos!
Deceased neighbor's widow had a nice '64 Chevelle convertible sitting in a garage... 327 4 speed... everybody that looked at it weren't interested because it had flat tires and brake pedal went to floor... somebody finally bought it for $200 just before I heard about it... ouch!
These old motors are so simple and reliable. They are indestructible.
Nice Find brings back so many memories. My best friend had a red 65 SS Malibu with 4 speed and power windows. He had ED Pink build a 450 HP 327 for it.
We were chased all over SoCal by CHP. This Malibu would do 150 mph. We would do Vanishing Point to anyone . So fast.
Wow ; hard to believe cars like that even exist anymore. What a find that is. Thanks for the video.
Had one - 327 .. built in Fremont California.
Weiand intake, carter carb.
Looked to be a 4 speed 12 bolt .
Someone replaced the 4 speed with a 350 turbo.
The weight was 2700 lbs. so said the registration- scarey over 90mph . Not aero friendly.
Factory gauges and tach.
Found the right pieces and took the wood grain steering wheel from my 64 impala ss .. had a 396 365 hour from a 66 chevlle ready for transplant. Sold it for 1700.00 ugh!!
Back in the late 80’s.. love these lightweight sleepers.
Thats a pretty solid malibu…..great starting point for a bad machine
the 283's and the 327's were the best engines back in the day! Gobs of torque and sounded great.
Thank you !!!
I had a 65 chevelle SS black with the same blue interior. 4 speed muncie and a 4.11 posi. Mine had a 350 in it when I got it. I was in high school, it was the late 70's and I ran the living hell out of it. Went through three 350 engines in under 2 years. It was bad about wheel hopping with the air shocks. I eventually broke the frame in front of the driver rear tire and the suspension arm came out of it. Also had a 69 Charger a 68 and a 69 GTX. I could kick myself on the ass for getting rid of these cars back when I was in college. Started a family and needed money. Could never afford to replace any of them at the prices they command today. This video certainly brought back good memories for me. Thanks !
Sis boyfriend had green 65. Buckets 327. 4sp thing was a rocket
I know how you feel buddy most all men have had cars they wished they had hung on to I've managed to hang on to one that's special to me but have let go of some that really hurts to think about lol peace brotha
Not sure I can sit and watch a whole hour video, but man, that car is sweet!
That 327 sounds killer
this is the kind of videos i love seeing from your channel. you guys make a great team and pretty entertaining to watch. like the Newbern and Finnegan days. keep it up!
I'd use everything that's original and serviceable. What a cool time capsule.
My favorite car. Sweet episode. Thank you!
The first street race car I ever rode in was a 1965 ss Chevelle with a 60 over 327 with the Muncie 4 speed. With all old school race parts. The old double hump 2.02/1.60 valves the same old school valve covers and a stupid big cam. But man would it turn some rpm’s and back in the mid 90’s if you had a 11 sec street car you had something. I ended up buying the engine and trans when the owner decided to put a 406 in it and turbo 400 trans. I put the engine and trans in a 70 nova and had a blast running 11.20 at the track and lots and lots of street racing. Back then I couldn’t afford slicks and radials were no existent so a old school truck was to get some worn down dirt track tires mount them up and run 12-15 psi in them and they worked surprisingly well for drag racing on the street. It was a sad day when I stuck a rod thru the block. But one thing for sure you will never get one of these new ls or coyote motors running 40 years from now if it sets. I’ve always loved high reving small cubic inch motors. Still to this day same junk nova but with a 377 destroker some chinesium aluminum heads I hand ported and way to much spray. It’s now a 10.0 street car that the grandkids love to go ride around with me in
💨🗿 enjoyed your comment, I have a 377 on my engine stand that I built 30yrs ago. Awesome to hear these daily drivers still exist ✌️👍
@@buckeyejim2989 I bought my first crank and rod kit 25 years ago so we are not that far off from each other. I’ve redid the combo 4-5 times but always stay with a 377 ci. It is so fun with a manual and a small shot or nos. It’s by no means as fast as these new cars but enough for me
A 6L iron block LQ4/LQ9 LS will run for 400-500k miles, literally no SBC ever can do that without a major overhaul, you can bet your azz a hydraulic roller engine can certainly run if it turns over just like one of these, just because LSs aren't ypur preference doesn't make them bad engines. When's the last time a factory long block 283/302/327/350 with a cam+springs and a turbo ran an 8s 1/4? There's a kid that ran sub 8s with 4.8L with only external mods and boost in an SN95.
@@hendo337 no one said anything about ls engines we were talking old school gen 1 street engines. Your right ls is cheap junk yard throw a turbo on it makes good power. But that wasn’t around 25-30 years ago when you had to know how to build a motor and how to set up a carb to make power
Man, I would get me a new GM 6.6 block, put a stroker crank in it, a good set of heads with a hog ass cam and build a big inch LT based motor, either simple n/a with a plate, or force fed...a D1sc kit would be sick on it too! Poor cat, she been resting 40yrs, and yall out beating on it! Impressive 1-2 shift burnouts too! Seems healthy for a motor that hasn't seen fire for 4 decades!
Great car to do a video on. Nicely done. Love the crank pully tool.
Reminds me of when we bought my sons 67 Camaro. Everything was locked up. Someone put a 62 327 300hp and 68 400 Turbo in it. We just tore it apart and built it instead of trying to free it up. Fixed the brakes and a boat tank in the trunk. It had an almost perfect pair of L60-14s on it it. Took them both down to the belts in a few minutes and it was an open spool rearend. That is some torque. Great video. Glad you got her running.
Well has he still got it or did he sell it like my kid did
@@greg4876 he still has it. He was 15 when he got it and is almost 38 now. It sits in my garage alot but he will never sell it.
I should haven't sold my 1965 Malibu. Sure it wasn't an SS 4 speed Chevelle. But I did have a 65 Malibu 283, powerglide Marina Blue with blue interior. Everyone told me to Hot Rod it. But it was such a cool cruiser to cruise Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach!
Finally a long episode 🤘🤘🤘
Great revival! Also like the pink hood scoop on DD Speed Shops gasser Nova! Lol
I will join the tribe that has owned this generation of Chevelle...great car to work on, so versatile too, take the build any direction, no dissapointme ts. Thanks for the memories.
I have always loved the '64 and '65 Chevelle the most, the '70-'72 are a close second but these days they a little over done. What a gem of a car, great taste.
I had this same car 64 283 4 speed ss...it was snappy as hell. put it this way it, held its own against bigger engines.
That's a keeper...
Bunch of meathead buddies just having a blast!!! I love it!
Thats a real generous motors. When I was young kid back in 1965 my Dad bought a 1965 Impala SS 327 for $1195 new at a local Chevrolet dealership. Who knew back then what those cars would be worth today? In high school students driving 57 chevys, 69 camero's, trans ams and paying hardly nothing for these classics. Thanks for sharing 👍 .
drop a Carter AFB on it and youve got a 300 HP 327 waiting to blow your mind
Hey David, wish I could find a lost gem like that 65 SS. Or that model A you just traded away. I know there out there, just have to look in the right spots. Love your channel and all your videos. Take care and be safe.
My Dad had a '64 Chevelle SS Malibu 4 Speed small block 327 that he rebuilt from the ground up when I was a kid. I remember the day he found it and bought it for $300. The front end was smashed in. When he was done with it I could hear him coming home from blocks away and he would smoke the tires all the way down the block. Good times.
Hi David. I love your video's man. After you drilled the trunk love, I was hoping for a case of 40 year old Moonshine Man!!! Thanks for your video's and time that spend making them.
Oh dude Don’t drill the trunk lock. Basically reach through the back seat with a long screw driver and a skinny person. Basically I’d use my 12 year old grandson.
Awesome episode
Love 65 chevelles
Great job guys. What a beautiful car 👍👍
Dudes! This shit just made my day! The first car I had in high-school was a 64 Chevelle Malibu SS. So awesome! Rock on!
Two cars that I wish I had NEVER sold. A 65 Malibu ( basically same car ) 283 , 4 speed, bench seat, all original, and a 65 Impala,2 door, 409 with power glide, Ps, A/c ,P/b . Sold them around 1977 . Regardless I’m ashamed to say how much I sold them for . Thanks
327/4sp/12 bolt - what more can you ask for?
All i can say is ... i love it. The video. The company and the car. God bless you guys and girls.
K-mart had an automotive department that serviced cars. I’d like that 55 myself. I sold mine over 35 years ago.
Of course Wesley wants to buy it....he wants to buy everything.
I'm really like that find!! That "combo" throttle return spring was awesome. Wesley adds alot of humor to the adventure. AND that super-focus of Newburn's face on the burnout was hilarious. tear 'em up guys, good job!
Memories i had one it was red true super sport 327 four speed.. In 1972.
The interior in this car is in amazing condition for having sat for forty years! The interior usually disintegrates after sitting for so long. A muscle car in this condition is a rare find. Most of the time these car owners only want to sell after it’s mostly rusted out. Oh, and the homemade balancer turning tool was genius 💯👍🏻
Thanks This The Great Video & Channel !
Hello From Finland !😊
awesome guys !! Love the longer video !!
Can't believe you put wheels on without beating the brake drum first, Holy grail of Malibus for me
We beat the absolute crap out of the drums. I just didn’t put it in the video.
awesome, breathing new life in the old girl
I have a 1965 chevelle ss. I love this video.
Brings back many fun weekend memories. Very first car back in 1977 was a '65 Malibu SS, 327, Muncie Rock Crusher 4 speed (chrome ball on the stick), factory orchard paint, white interior with black accents. Wish I still had that little racer.
SCORE! So clean and straight. Nice find and capture.
Great job guys keep it up 👍 sending positive energy from Canada 💪💪💪🇨🇦
Dude!!! Great video!!! 60's factory blacks car are best!!!!✌️
You guys have too much fun! Keep it going! All the laughing at the end was priceless.
Absolutely love ms Jennifer she didnt even flinch doing whole shots. you all are way too funny. love these vids. you all need to do another build like that 57 in a week video
You have a beautiful place out here.. I drive a tow truck and dropped off a old school truck at your house a few months back.. love your work too..
I just subscribed to Keys Kustoms and looks like another great channel. Glad you branched out on your own David and taking care of you. 😊
Great car, great video!
I want one of those pully plates, Wesley! PLEASE
Love to see the progress of this car 🤞
That Chevelle is soooooooo nice!! I also just subscribed to Wesley’s channel
I had a 65 Elcamino SS back in the 70's with a factory M22 4 speed and 8K tach. It didnt have the stock motor anymore though it had a nasty 350 LT1. Man did I get tickets in that thing LOL Nice idea that plate you made to turn the motor over. Most guys tryto turn the engine over off the crank bolt which is a total waste of time, You can also take the starter off and use a pry bar on the flywheel as you can get about 20 times the force on it. Plus you can work it back and forth to get it loosened up. But your plate you made is one of the best things I've seen in my 60+ years.
I just found this channel and love it .this is the kinda stuff me and my buddies done in my younger days. Not as much know at my age but given the chance I will still drag out of its slumber and make run and drive agin. Keep it going guys❤ what you are doing
I was born in Jan 1983...that car hasn't run my entire life...😂
That 55 is actually pretty damn clean Dave! And the '65 Chevelle is my absolute dream car!! I grew up with my dad building cars, in your area, I was in Joliet. Back in 69-71 he had a white 65 SS, all 70's trick paint, flake, silver leafing, 331" 327 and a 4spd., that he'd Rev over 9k+ RPM! Prolly the reason the flex plate came thru the floor, dash and hood! But, since i was little, i loved that car! 'Bad Habit' was the name of the car. He also used to have a yellow '57 BelAir, w/a LS6 based 461" BBC, 4 speed, probably a 800hp motor, it went 9's in a back half car prior to him getting it and rebuilding. This was the early 80's, always in the Oak Lawn area, Dukes, out to Streator... he had that car out one night, getting on I80 and ran through the gears...8900RPM in 4th gear, crazy a.f, 168mph on a stock 57 suspension! After he sold it, I'd see it out every year at the Wilmington car show, motor never had a problem! That was the 1st car that I remember riding in, so i do have a thing for Tri-5 cars...but I'm doing a 1200+hp, 99 Camaro SS now. I sent a iron 6L off to Mike Lough, had the machine work and balancing done, his LS oil mod, decked, line hone, all the regular stuff. But, he spec'd my bearings and sent em, set my crank and thrust, more than I could have asked for, not to mention all the days I bugged him with questions, cylinder head stuff, he got me a set of Dart Pro1 225's at his cost, as the 317's i was going to have done, were usable but had cracks in between the valves, which is common in that casting, but he didn't feel comfortable with doing it on the power I'm going to be making...and it was a GOOD deal for heads! Anyways, thanks guys!
If not the original 327 turned into a 383...get an aftermarket 4.185" bore block, build it with a 3.25" stroke for 358ci with new aluminum double hump heads and run a huge spread bore carb just for that Qjet moan. Whatever you build it needs 17x9 factory replica wheels and spreadbore induction moan even if it's an LS...I feel like a suspension like the one they used on the Pewe Buick convertible from the first "Roadkill" on HRM channel is the right choice because those cars were treacherous stock if you wanted to do anything but a blip of power straight line and you want that blip of power to be an exciting event with ridiculously cool sounds of induction or shreaking exhaust with electric cutouts open but, it's doesn't have to be a sub 12s car to be cool either. Sometimes a build that is well balanced, something that you just want to hop in a drive anywhere, anytime and end up putting way more miles than you ever intended that also doesn't break the bank with terrible economy or expensive fuel.
Beautiful car 😮👍💯
Sweet car. Good vid.
It is amazing to me the number of super f badass muscle cars that are in this condition. Super rare cars just waiting to be restored to their former glory.
I really enjoyed this
Thats asweet beauty there..!
This is a KEEPER..GUY IS LUCKY..?
Awesome episode buddy
FN sweet..! i have my grandmothers 66 Chevelle she bought new. can't wait to see what u do next with it.
Subscribed to Wesley immediately
Going to be making that tool
Love the long content
Good times 🎉 the breaker bar plate to free the motor is genius.
Love it, probably my favorite GM muscle car!
Wow, great vid, tks very enjoyable, car sounds and looks great
12 volt dave ! my man , nice long video
For this feat of awesome... you've officially been upgraded to 14.8v Dave.
Hilarious watching Wesley lose his mind when he sees what it really is.
And a flies eye air filter!
That looks like an aftermarket wheel.
@@scottr9900 yea left front wheel looks like a Pontiac wheel, probably 14 inch.
The points & condenser from kmart was from after 1991, barcodes came out in 1991. My first car was a nice blue 65 Malibu SS, it was stolen & never recovered. I loved that car, it rode & ran great. Today I drive a 65 C10.
My father bought a 71 with a 327 out of 67 corvette in 1981 for my brothers first car. He drove it until 1985 when it wouldn’t start so I gave him $300 for it. New fuel pump, fired up and still have it today. I was 15 , my first car. Keepm!!
Came to this channel after watching DD Speed Shop , Dan is the man !
That is a good car!. Nice job
Man I love that car... she looks good just the way it is... awesome body style 😎 👌
That both tires made nice long dark rubber marks proves its a real super sport. With posi.....
57:12 Kmart had auto centers and sold auto parts back in the 70's and 80's.. we had one in North Augusta SC.. the building is still there with the bays right after you cross the river from Ga on hwy 1/78/278
Hopefully with the fact that there is such minimal rust, the owner will invest in a complete weatherstripping kit for the entire car (you can see it dried up and cracking real bad on the driver side.... And I'm sure the rest of the rubber in the car is in similar condition)
If he replaces all the door and window rubber, and trunk seal, and have all the fixed window glass removed and re-urethaned.... He'll never have to worry about rust in this car ever. 👏🏻💯
that thing is awesome! I like the approach - fresh brakes, tires, some shocks and any ball joints it needs, clean it and have fun. probably put some mufflers on it and a tune up. that is a fantastic find!
I worked for Kmart for 18 years-- from 1984 to 2002 (when they started closing up stores), and I was one of the very few Auto Parts Managers they ever had (in Mobile, AL). Kmart had decided to experiment with putting auto parts stores in their old closed-down service centers, and the four stores that were in the Mobile area were chosen as the first in this experimental retail environment. It was a big deal for a while... until the corporate tide changed and they committed retail suicide by trying to compete against Wal-Mart without copying Wal-Marts' methods (which were cut-throat to say the least!). It was neat to see the old tune-up parts in the video-- if you check the price sticker on the packaging there should be a date on the sticker... 3 or 4 digits for the month and year in the upper left hand corner.
I really dig this SS. Upgrade to disc brakes, some suspension and interior upgrades, TKX 5-speed and hit the open road!!! I still have my 70 SS396 that I bought after HS in "79 and that is the plan for it.
Love this
That was so sick. That car is in fantastic condition. Great video Dave. Please do a follow up after it is done and roadworthy.
Take the glovebox key cylinder out and have a key cut for it to open the trunk
Call the lock picking lawyer... he'll know what to do
You would have went nuts in 1969.when I gave a 55 Belair 2dr hardtop away, no rust, no engine, bad rear end, good interior, fair tires - because I did not have a place to store it. But I'd have traded you for your building, because my chain hoist did not like my tree!!! 😅😅
Thats a once in a lifetime for most people these days. Usually you just find junk. Not a ss 4 speed anything thats abandoned and not rusted into an oblivion.
The Glove box is same key as trunk. Take the GBox tumbler out get a locksmith to make a key…….Second way to get in trunk; remove rear seat. Reach in with a screw drive to lock .
I had a '64 malibu and have missed ever since I sold it.
Looks just like mine I love it
