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

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
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
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.
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!
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..
Man what happened to that old Ford/Chevy RV body swap, I’d love to see more of it
Stay tuned!
@@MortskeRepair call me 605 924 6167 dwight
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!
Not ‘on sale’, but they’re ‘for sale’ at yer ocean-front property! Most humorous & optimistic video yet
Glad you enjoyed it Joe!
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 like first start in the shop just because the audio is so much better.
No doubt about that!
"Duff likes the inside".
The cushions are on the inside. Duff has priorities. 😁
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!
Sweet! That thing is pretty complete. I'd daily that. "Darts" Nice ColdWarMotors reference.
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!
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.
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!
Good morning Mortskie and duff!!! I love the 64 impala. Awesome car & Awesome content always 👌.
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!
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.
Nice find! She will make somebody a great restoration project. It’s good to see these old cars still being saved. 👍👍
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.
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
I'm so happy that you sold that 60, no more temptation!
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.
Good save, Love old impalas!
My Grandpaw (who I miss terribly) had a 63 Impala for almost all my early years.
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.
Those Chevy and Cadillacs of the mid 60s were so cool always wanted a 65 or 66 impala and DeVille
Bring them into the shop. Make it easy on yourself!!
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!
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.😁
I've been able to upgrade from a 63 impala to a 63 SS impala. I didn't thing there was a big difference until I owned one. I was just happy to own an impala. Now I can't go back. Obviously the next step up is the convertible. Congratulations on your build.
Thanks for sharing!
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.
Nothing like a Mortske re run on a Saturday out in the garage.
Great video you should pressure wash it and do the interior 64 is a classic my first car was a 65 impala.
You’ve got to be the only American with a decent sense of humour rock on bud and Duff !!
Awww thanks so much!
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..
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
The shit coming out of the exhaust is amazing!!!
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!
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!
That car is quite solid for the most part,frame looks good on it.
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!
“Can’t smell nothing” then 2020 started
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.
Working at the shop is always better. Just in case you get really hungry 🤤
For sammitches.
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!
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!
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!
Mine was the SS 327 covetable. White ex. Red interior
Miss that car. History two door.
It's your channel---do WHAT YOU want! Informative either way! I'll keep watching.
Much appreciated!
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.
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 like Impalas almost as much as Duff!
My first road car was a '63 Pontiac Laurentian. It had the same size trunk. No worries about where the cooler was going.
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.
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!
Too bad Grandma parked it before she could put the Hydros and daytons on it!
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.
Just bring the cars in the shop, no sense in suffering needlessly.
America is great country! HI from russland!
Thanks for watching over there!
I had one of these with the hipo 283/283 hp with Rochester Fuel Injection that was donated from a Corvette. It had a 3 on the tree somehow and all sorts of "creative" welding. Bought it for a grand, sold the motor for 7500, I put a 305 TPI 5 speed in it out of an 89 Firebird Formula and sold the car for 3 grand. It still exists but the motor is pretty clapped out..it has so much blowby that it bastes the engine bay with oil and catches on fire. Lol
Dang that FI engine would be a sweet unit to have!
@@MortskeRepair it wasn't bad but the car was heavy. The RFI was choice though. If it had a Tremec 6 speed or a Hydramatic instead of the godawful 3 speed..it would have been badass. That rig now lives in a 69 Camaro in Edmonton. It loved snapping the timing cable if you took it past 6 grand. If you can find a RFI..jump on it
Funny, you never find Hybrids down south! LOL. We who live in the north know exactly what kind of hybrid these old beasts are! 8-))
So environmentally conscious!
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!
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!
Man that’s a project for me! replace the tank clean it inside & out pull out the head liner, Mexican blanket for front seat, oil change, tune up - drive it👍😀😎
Great idea Mike!
My Granfather bought a 64 4dr( post ) same color ,engine ,trans in Oct 64 Drove it once died in Nov 64.Yrs later I ended up with it with 73,000 miles after other Relatives...
For a dog without thumbs, Duff is certainly a jack of all trades. Dude can swap engines AND hot wire cars?! Amazing!
No doubt!
Fun to watch my Everyday car from 86 to 93 was a 64 2DHT Impala that I fixed, painted, and redid the interior, 350HP 350/THM400, and Thrush side pipes and Crager SST (still my favorite mags, too bad nobody makes anything like them anymore) loved that car, only retired it when a quick stop made me realize how bad old car brakes are compared to newer ones. I parked it inside in 93 and it's still sitting there waiting for "One Day" which will never come as I age. SO I spend my time living through RUclipsrs. The trim on the gas door is not standard, it's aftermarket or extra accessory as are the bumper pieces but those are factory extras I am pretty sure. MY car is in ND too as am I. I got many a speeding ticket in Carrington driving back and forth to college.
Great info! Thanks for watching and commenting!
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 👍🏻
I used to go home smelling like burnt trans fluid frequently, it didn’t do anything for my wife.
In addition to that… is it me or is Duff the star of the channel? Like your videos! Thanks! You too Mortske🤣
He's definitely the star!
Great vid as ever Mortske.... thanks for the knowledge along the way.
I live in England, and if there were any cars sitting around for 28 years, they would just be a pile of rust around a locked up engine (sorry.... motor !!!!), You are lucky to have the different climate to be able to bring these back to life.
Be interesting to see if you can bring some older japanese or european stuff back to life.......
Not much of that stuff around here...
My dad's first new car was a 63 Impala 283 with the power glide 4 door it was red with a white top black interior
sweet
Great video! Who needs network TV. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
This was my dream car when I was in High school, They are unattainable now on the west coast, just like every other classic car.
They're still out there!
@@MortskeRepair once I am in ID permanently, I'll be looking for a pre 1980 truck. Getting older changes your needs.
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!
Mortske Repair and Vice Grip Garage would get along very well. Very similar sense of humor.
Subscribed! I love the impala, I just recently inherited my great grandfather's '64 Bel Air four door sedan. It's been sitting in garage since '83 and I'm reviving it very soon. It would be really sweet if you put on some nice wheels, gave it a pressure wash and installed a new fuel tank. Would be a nice goin' to town rig, these four doors need love too!
Thanks for the sub Calder!
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.
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!
Cruising down the road in my 64 jumping the ditches following Duff........ LOL
Why did I just read that in the voice of Easy-E?
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS Cause the boys on YT always hard come talking that hate we’ll pull your channel knowing nothing in life but analytics don’t quote me son cause I ain’t said shhhhhhhh.........😂

I tried to tipe the hole thing in, but I'm knot the best spellur and ended up at the wrong site, but on the bright side, it had a floppy hose too. On that note, I think "Make sure you type the whole thing in" would look cool on a T-shirt too. Thank you for your time.
Working in the shop is always good. I know how much fun being in the mud and snow can be.
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 :)
Old gas for sure! Idk what it is but old lacquered gas will give me an almost instant migraine. Sucks because , like you, I enjoy going after the trucks, equipment that have sat for years
Definitely not a favorite smell on the job!
Duff is the only reason I watch your channel, LOL He's a good dog!
He's the reason everyone watches!
I had my dads 64 Biscayne and sold it, wish now I'd kept it.
I love them stripper models!
Your Impala will it run came out better than puddings that POS he was trying to get started was a real junker. I had a 64 2-door high performance 327 in it had few extra bells and whistles on it. One of the ones that got away I traded it straight across for a 60 Corvette that was pretty clapped-out 283 with a Muncie 4-speed black primer paint job man the ones that got away I'll take either one of them back
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!
I own a 63 Impala 4d post and a 63 Belair 4d post.
Must be the most reliable cars on the planet. Compared to hardtops you have less windnoise and less moisture entering the cars and four doors are more practical if you have a family.
I know that as I own a fullsize GM 2d ht and a fullsize convertible as well
Favorite classic cars are 64 Impala convertibles. But any 64 Impala is my favorite
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
Glad you both enjoy it!
The 64 is awesome. 4 doors deserve love too. Mine sat for 35 years before I bought it and like yours, it ran and drove with minimal effort. Yours is in really good shape. Your bumper guards, gas door guard, door edge guards, window vent guards are all valuable accessories, not all that common. Certs! with Retsyn!
Thanks for sharing Brian!
@@MortskeRepair FunFact: you can crunch those certs fast and hard in the mirror in the dark and see sparks coming out ur mouth!!
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS Haha I'll be sure to give it a shot and recored it!
I would like to see you do a full on restoration on a car. After all, us fans dont just get them running and stop there. We tend to fix them up all the way, broken window regulators and all. We could use the tech tips, including body and paint, wiring, etc.
Not happening. Too much work and not worth the time involved. Cheaper to buy a done one.
One of Thee best- 1st time - Long Sitters, I've heard start up on the Tube in Quite a while. Should make a Good *hobby starter* for someone with that Nice 283. Find It a Good Home Mort. Thank You
Wow, thanks for the kind words and for watching Lloyd!
I'm not sure either , but it looks like your car has several options on it. Door edge guards, bumper guards, fuel door chrome ,full hubcaps and the visors, and I think the trunk trim maybe.
Late with my comment, chemo is rotting my brain. Another fine production of rolling in a dead machine and bringing it back to life. This channel has the perfect mix of character, dog and dead cars for those who can no longer do but want to see it get done. Bravo! A big tetanus laden thumbs up!
