Yup, I feel for America right now, so much weird shit going on. My part of the world isn't much better tbh. To spend an hour of chill watching VGG is a much needed distraction right now. Love this channel!
I can just imagine driving that car on Wisconsin’s back roads, sunroof open, bliss. What a beautiful machine. Thanks Derek. Love both of your channels.
I love VGG so much.... I work overseas as a contractor and started watching Derek's videos in 2020 by accident because I was bored and came across them while scrolling through RUclips.... I've been hooked every since and they have kept entertained while I have been overseas being home sick..... Inspired me to buy farm find 1993 Silverado pickup from auction that needed to be brought back around... My youngest daughter now daily drives it.... I credit VGG for inspiring me to take a chance and go save an old ride.... Thank you, Derek.... Just keep being awesome
I spent 6 years working as a military contractor. I lived in the Middle East, Italy, Germany and Guam. I know what you mean when you say homesick brother. Keep pushing and watching VGG. It helped me too
at 22 minutes... Derek spoke the absolute truth. I am not as poor as I was growing up but I am still saving everything. I need to stop because I have stuff in my parts pile that are 30 years old and will never be used.
I remember taking groceries out for a lady that just purchased one . I said wow what a beautiful car !! (I think it may have been in metallic gold ? ) She said"" every thing has digital read outs , go sit behind the wheel and check it out " She let me start the car too. That was so cool ! Beautiful interior and very comfortable . I'll never forget that! Thanks, Derrick. I've enjoyed all your videos, and my dad & step dad would have too .I like how you think things out and your sense of humor. I wish the best to you and your family . , Troy Oakes
"When you grow up poor, you save everything" truer words have never been spoken! I am no longer dirt poor but the trauma and borderline hoarding instinct is still very prevalent in my life. Like I CAN afford a funnel but that cut in half juice container is just perfect, and has a built in handle.
so true .. when i was working my way through school i survived many days on honey packets from BK and mcdernalds …. i let nothing go to waste becisse of those days ..
sometimes, that is the best type of funnel for the job. Especially for really dirty stuff that you don't want to have to clean up after. I always keep a few empty gallon jugs from washer fluid, etc. Mostly to cut and use as funnels. Not something I need often, but they sure do come in handy on those rare occasions that I need one.
The problem with buying a funnel is that you then have to remember where you left it. search for 10 minutes give up and cut open a jug use it and turn around and see the funnel you were searching for
Wow. O'Reilly's marketing team is absolutely killing it. I never watch ads. But these ones with Derek I haven't skipped once. That new one is really good.
Yeppers, the only ads I don't mind seeing. I just don't get why my local O' Reilly doesn't have ad posters in the windows with Derek on them. He is the spokesperson and my local place didn't even know who he is when I asked.
Derek is a real pro at fixing cars and making it fun to watch. His hard work and down-to-earth style make every video a treat for gearheads and newbies alike. That is a might fine looking car after the shine!
I consider Imperials overlooked classics! All were built in limited numbers as they were expensive cars in their day. I grew up in the '60's. The free standing headlights were unique and a nod to the earlier Imperials designs of the '30's. Thanks Derick for spotlighting a late model classic car and bringing it back to life. Your efforts are appreciated!
I absolutely adore the Imperial. It’s got a slightly awkward appearance but to me that is the best about it. She really wanted to shine and run again and boy did you do a great job with her Derek. I would really consider keeping this old girl ya know. There’s something special about her.
Hi Derek, I've been watching you and your family for over 3 years, more like 5 years and it was you who got me out of that dark space where I fell rock bottom into depression. Gradually I got better and now fine. Thank you for yourvskill and humour especially when you're driving a rig back from oblivion to a runner.
The Imperial you have is a beautiful car. The crystal hood ornament is still intact. That car deserves to be restored and placed in a museum. It's a last gasp by Chrysler for a truly luxurious car. Save it, preserve it. Thank you.
My great aunt had the previous gen - white exterior with baby blue more cushy than your couch leather interior IIRC. It was cool, but when they brought out this style with all the crisp lines - I was in love!!!
The honesty of these videos is refreshing. Working on these old cars can be challenging, painful and rewarding all at the same time. That really comes through with Derek’s ‘charm’. I would have been a nice guy and put a new gas tank sender in after all that work, but I can see that might not be easy to get back in a flip sale. Really enjoy seeing the follow-up of a rescue.
Being from England most of the cars are unknown to me, it's great to see these old Yank tanks for the first time, The seats are so different and look a lot better from our old ones. Thanks Derek and family 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Me too! I live in Denmark, and all I know of US classic cars is what I have learned from YT channels like VGG. The other day, though, I walked past a driveway and did a double take: Guy tinkering with a 1968 Pontiac GTO convertible! I asked for permission to come in, and we talked cars over a beer for an hour... Don't tell me you can't learn anything from YT :)
I can't believe no one commented on the rear plate! (at least that I seen) As a LEO and fellow RUclipsr I appreciate seeing little things like this in your videos! Gives me some hope for humanity seeing things like this! Thank you for your support of all first responders, active military and Veterans. Would be an honor to Collab with you one day on a project or 2.67! Upmost most respect to you sir!
Beautiful car and a great job bringing her back. Loved them when they came out new, just could not afford one, great memories. I am 90 now and still love the style. Thank you for the trip back in time.
My dad is retired electrician from Chrysler I remember when they let hum take one home for the day. All of is kids thought it was so cool. Considering are cars where valiants and Valerie
I watched you pull this out and get it running again and bring it home. And now I've seen you bring it back to life to her beauty again. I love these that you take and show us from start to finish. I hope that someone buys us and drives it daily. I have no use for trailer queens. I think all vehicles just want to live and work and be driven. That is a beautiful vehicle. Thank you!
Aaah Little Grip we love you. "Can you crank this while my arm goes numb?" Bentley starts cranking, no questions asked. What a legend that kid is. Also....we don't hear a lot from Bradley, but he appears to know his way around the CNC table. I hope Bayley is getting some skills as well.
I HATED these things when they came out but watching Derek bring this one back around has given me a new appreciation for them. All cool, quirky, wacky, etc cars need saving
I can see why it grew on you, Derek. Every bit of work you did to it, the car responded with a positive vibe like it was just saying "Bring it on! Lemme show you what I can be!"....and boy doesn't she look great! Beautiful colour - and those pinstripes just make it something special. I'd be proud to be out and about in something like that. Can it be improved? Sure - but she looks a million dollars from 10 feet now and when you're cruising along, that's all that matters. Great example of what can be done to bring a car around with a bit of physical effort, some time and - crucially - with little money. Awesome job, mate! All the best from here in New Zealand.
I bought a 2012 Ford Transit connect van and when I went to open the hood, I had to use the owners manual and google to see that the ignition key is used to open the hood.
I've been working on "old" cars for 30 years. I definitely still make mistakes and I know im never too old to learn. If any mechanic tells you thy don't make mistakes, they're full of shyte! 😆
This type of car is what I learned to drive on , I started in a 1976 Buick limited with a 455 then 1972 Oldsmobile Delta 88 350 Rocket. Beautiful cars and a magnificent experience to drive one. Great video Derick!
Omg Derek this turned out so beautiful. The paint color came back. She's a real going to town rig and a cruise worthy ride for sure. A fella should be proud to be able to drive her anywhere.
I’ll tell you, a guy loves coming home from work on Friday and clicking on vgg to see what a fella has going on for a project! Love your stuff Derek and the name lol
YEP!! Better than any other form of entertainment. Thanks so much Derek for your professionalism, humor, family & CLEAN entertainment! My prayers for you & yours. 😅
Derek, I remember these back in the day. They were OK cars, not fast, but rode good, and nice looking. Most didn't survive into the 90's, so you're lucky to have one. Can't believe it's the same car, great job!
Regarding the gas tank removal - around 1980 I bought a 1972 Buick lesabre my wife drove and the in tank sending unit went out. Being unable to afford having it done and working 7 days a week on end I decided to do it. I layed under it rested the tank on my chest and then got her to the ground and visa versa. Remember my wife coming out when had the tank on my chest saying dinner and finally handing me a pb&j sandwich because she knew I was way too invested to stop 😅.
Here in Southern California we have Taco Tuesday. Starting now Friday is VGG FRIDAY. I WOULD BE PROUD to roll around town in this Chrysler. Flames really makes it a street rod.
I imagine it went something like this: Somebody was hanging around him while he worked and couldn't stop bustin' out laughing. Told him he oughta make videos, and the rest is history.
So excited for this! Currently locked out of the house, the ol lady left with the baby and locked the doors the same day I decided to take the fun car to work that doesn’t have a house key on it lol but the WiFi reaches!
I love the good ol’ fashioned revivals but seeing what happens to them after they get home is awesome. It’s nice to see these cars make it out of Rusty Acres and Hub Cap Hills!
Cleans up pretty nice huh? Very cool fuel fix! Easy to work on....just needs some love on the rest of the engine/interior and you might have a wicked cool ride that will go anywhere. Well anywhere with reasonable roads.
That’s a really cool looking car. There, I said it. There’s just something about it. I like that it’s different and not something you see everyday. God Bless the VGG family. Such hard workers.
I found your show on HBO, got to tell a feller that even the other half enjoys it. Glad you’re still making youtube a better place. Thanks Derek ( and Jessica)
Greetings from Northeast Tennessee! Thanks Derek, for another refreshing video. I always enjoy watching and anticipate the Friday notifications. Your seat of the pants adventures are always entertaining. I have always been a car guy since I was about 15. I am now 72, and still love cars, especially the "Golden Age" 50s through 80s.
Driving the back roads of TN something i do everyday i live on a tn back road i knew there was a reason i like watching you lol and that jump when the tank fell had me rolling 😂
Jessica and Derek.. not only are your Videos fun and informative but your pick of music is exquisite, i have never heard of Thyra before and now they on our Kitchen speaker all of the time 👍🏻❤️🇺🇸
This car is pretty cool Derek , I would send it down the road to someone who will cherish it instead of letting it sit around and get dirty again, thank you and the family for all you do 👍
I, too, like this car for some reason! I think it's a combination of the maroon color, the wheel & tire combination, the eye pleasing classic long hood/short deck styling, and the fact that back in the day, it was a "top of the line" personal cruising car. I guess. I just like it. Oh, and probably the glass hood ornament! I remember seeing them in parking lots back then, and always thought they were a neat touch!
Derek - great transformation! Just goes to show what a little elbow grease and determination can do to restore an old forgotten ride to its original glory days. 😊
20 year warranty on the Leatherman. Had mine 19 years, broke the pliers, sent it in and got a whole new (possibly refurbished, but like new) unit a few weeks later, Woo hoo!
@@bgee461 that’s illegal if you read the fine print on the DHS website they must offer your property back at no charge to you. They are most likely trained to not offer that legal compliancy at the time of confiscation.
@@bgee461My son was home on leave from the Marines and I gave him a full set of wrenches to keep back at his home on the base. Dadgum they took them at airport security . The only option he had was miss his flight back and be AWOL so he could keep his wrenches or not contest them and let them keep them. I fully understand security on airplanes but wrenches?
It's great to see Derek work on something that I was in the passenger seat along for the ride back home ( not physically). I really like the Imperial's rear section. Simple yet elegant at the same time. I like the tail lights. Derek, when are we gonna see the return of your brother ? I laughed so hard when you two were working together... You having fun... Him looking at you like you've completely lost your mind. Hilarious !! Thanks for letting me hang out with you for a bit. I really appreciate it.
Definitely a nice looking older imperial, can’t be too many of those roaming around anymore. Glad the old girls playing nice. Nice to see the whole VGG Family working together.
I believe that the fill neck has a "anti-siphoning" device installed in the fill tube, that makes it really tough to pull the fuel out thru it. You can pass a very small diameter rubber hose, but it'd take a long time to pull 12-15 gals of gas out of the tank. You can see part of that "anti-theft" device that's in the filler pipe, a little later on during the installation portion of the vidjeo (34:06).
After seeing the first VGG video on this car I found the story on the "Sinatra Imperial" and found it fascinating! Quite a peace of automotive history!!
Vice Grip President anyone? All foreign dignitaries have to meet in the garage to solve world issues by working to rebuild something. Derek for Vice President!
OMG!! When you asked what is the gas tank caught on, my husband said the fuel neck. Then you said you heard people saying the fuel neck stop shouting. We are laughing over here in Pennsylvania!! 😂❤ Thanls for the great content!

Throw it away 2 days before you need it 😂

Nailed it
The ones who would want these nice things to end are being forced into the light. Very nice and well meaning comment, I agree completely.

I love his vocabulary lol

"When you grow up poor, you save everything" truer words have never been spoken! I am no longer dirt poor but the trauma and borderline hoarding instinct is still very prevalent in my life. Like I CAN afford a funnel but that cut in half juice container is just perfect, and has a built in handle.

Hello from franklin Ky. Enjoyed your videos for yrs. Love the way you show your children the how to,s .
What I find best in VGG is that the kids see the old man working, and they are encouraged to work on their own projects.

Man, the front end of that Imperial is really stylin'. What a beauty!
As an amateur I'm glad to see that experienced guys can still struggle in figuring out the lever to open the hood 😂

I imagine it went something like this:
Somebody was hanging around him while he worked and couldn't stop bustin' out laughing. Told him he oughta make videos, and the rest is history.
He's never alone. He's got His Capabilities!🎉
So excited for this! Currently locked out of the house, the ol lady left with the baby and locked the doors the same day I decided to take the fun car to work that doesn’t have a house key on it lol but the WiFi reaches!
😂😂😂😂. Hopefully you got cold snacks at least!!
😅 drink a few cold pops and break a window...
You might want to call a lawyer…
Ur one lucky feller. Ya might not believe it, but ur lookin right at it!
Been there. But it was pre VGG - was a lot less enjoyable than your experience.
Thanks!
I love the good ol’ fashioned revivals but seeing what happens to them after they get home is awesome. It’s nice to see these cars make it out of Rusty Acres and Hub Cap Hills!
Derek you are possibly the most nicest person I have ever seen. I love that you call spark plugs.... Sparkler laters😊keep up the good work x
Cleans up pretty nice huh? Very cool fuel fix! Easy to work on....just needs some love on the rest of the engine/interior and you might have a wicked cool ride that will go anywhere. Well anywhere with reasonable roads.
That’s a really cool looking car. There, I said it. There’s just something about it. I like that it’s different and not something you see everyday. God Bless the VGG family. Such hard workers.
I found your show on HBO, got to tell a feller that even the other half enjoys it. Glad you’re still making youtube a better place. Thanks Derek ( and Jessica)
Greetings from Northeast Tennessee! Thanks Derek, for another refreshing video. I always enjoy watching and anticipate the Friday notifications. Your seat of the pants adventures are always entertaining. I have always been a car guy since I was about 15. I am now 72, and still love cars, especially the "Golden Age" 50s through 80s.
VGG is the best on RUclips!!!!!!!
That “Pimp Daddy” sticker on the back window HAS TO STAY!!! It totally suits that rolling sofa! 😂
Obviously, a lot of girls lost their virginity in that rolling sofa, as the previous owner was 16 when he got it. 😂
Yes.
"Don't know what ya heard about me, but I'm a mother******g P-I-M-P..." blasting out the speakers as she drives past.
Driving the back roads of TN something i do everyday i live on a tn back road i knew there was a reason i like watching you lol and that jump when the tank fell had me rolling 😂
Gotta say, when that tank jumped out at him and he dodged, ducked, dipped, dove and dodged, I was dyin'. 😂😂
I am not a mopar guy but that is one nice looking daily goin to town rig. Nice job Derek!
Jessica and Derek.. not only are your Videos fun and informative but your pick of music is exquisite, i have never heard of Thyra before and now they on our Kitchen speaker all of the time 👍🏻❤️🇺🇸
Derek needs foam kneeler pads. Garden stores should have them. Saves much discomfort especially on concrete or gravel.
His lack of safety glasses, during very dangerous tasks, is also disturbing. I fail to understand how and why he has not long ago, blinded himself.
Safety squints are just like glasses.
Derek: Pay the extra and get the Monica Lewinsky signature model knee pads. They're more durable and well worth it.
@@frankrizzo5057 Ha! Not.
No Kneepads for me resulted in bursitis. Requiring an operation. One month recovery. Never again.
The choice of music in this episode is SO perfect for this car
Have ever thought of trying Evap- a rust in old gas tanks o save on time removing fuel Tank just a suggestion take care
Evapo-Rust and Rust411 work great, VGG should have a steady supply.
Strap the gas tank to a tractor wheel and have one of the boys drive around for half an hour. Works great.
Cement mixer works too
This car is pretty cool Derek , I would send it down the road to someone who will cherish it instead of letting it sit around and get dirty again, thank you and the family for all you do 👍
I, too, like this car for some reason! I think it's a combination of the maroon color, the wheel & tire combination, the eye pleasing classic long hood/short deck styling, and the fact that back in the day, it was a "top of the line" personal cruising car. I guess. I just like it. Oh, and probably the glass hood ornament! I remember seeing them in parking lots back then, and always thought they were a neat touch!
Nothing like wrapping up a hard day at work and coming home and watching some VGG to get the weekend started!
Appreciate ya!
We enjoy seeing the fellow doing work at home save money in travel expenses and guy can be home with family
Derek - great transformation!
Just goes to show what a little elbow grease and determination can do to restore an old forgotten ride to its original glory days. 😊
I do enjoy seeing these revivals getting cleaned up and loved on. Keep em coming!
“Salt lick in a pasture.” 😂😂😂
Good ole country metaphors!
Some of the best metaphors and metafives out there!!
I think this is now my favorite car you have done! I love purple, and that color came out GREAT! Enjoy!
20 year warranty on the Leatherman. Had mine 19 years, broke the pliers, sent it in and got a whole new (possibly refurbished, but like new) unit a few weeks later, Woo hoo!
Awesome, so nice companies honor their charters.
I got mine taken away at the airport 🙄
@@bgee461 that’s illegal if you read the fine print on the DHS website they must offer your property back at no charge to you. They are most likely trained to not offer that legal compliancy at the time of confiscation.
@@bgee461My son was home on leave from the Marines and I gave him a full set of wrenches to keep back at his home on the base. Dadgum they took them at airport security . The only option he had was miss his flight back and be AWOL so he could keep his wrenches or not contest them and let them keep them. I fully understand security on airplanes but wrenches?
" Alabama credit card " hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha that one had me laughing too
And the fuel recylcle in the weeds out behind the shop. 😂😂
It's great to see Derek work on something that I was in the passenger seat along for the ride back home ( not physically). I really like the Imperial's rear section. Simple yet elegant at the same time.
I like the tail lights.
Derek, when are we gonna see the return of your brother ?
I laughed so hard when you two were working together... You having fun... Him looking at you like you've completely lost your mind. Hilarious !!
Thanks for letting me hang out with you for a bit. I really appreciate it.
For as much as Derek hates on Mopar, it is nice to see him love on something awful: but a Mopar goodie.
Makes a feller all tickly inside
This disabled veteran would be interested in this rig Derek.
Definitely a nice looking older imperial, can’t be too many of those roaming around anymore. Glad the old girls playing nice. Nice to see the whole VGG Family working together.
A true Master Mechanic doesn't bother with a thousand tools behind him he pulls out a Leatherman
Derek's starting to get some love for the Mopars!
Every video is gold .Derek was born to do this and he is the best at what he does hands down ! Best car videos on the tubes !!!
Love the clean ups just as much as the initial revival.Great seeing these pieces of history saved!!!
"Let's get this Chrysler shining like a salt lick in a pasture!"♥︎♡♥︎
Hit it with the electric wrist pruner 😂😅😂 you gotta ❤ his saying...
Why didn't a feller syphon the gas out first?
Right?! Just seems like it would make it so much easier.
I believe that the fill neck has a "anti-siphoning" device installed in the fill tube, that makes it really tough to pull the fuel out thru it. You can pass a very small diameter rubber hose, but it'd take a long time to pull 12-15 gals of gas out of the tank.
You can see part of that "anti-theft" device that's in the filler pipe, a little later on during the installation portion of the vidjeo (34:06).

By-golly, yer right ✅️
Thanks!!!!!
I did?
I can just picture a couple thousand guys yelling at their phone screen, "filler neck man,filler neck." Lol
After seeing the first VGG video on this car I found the story on the "Sinatra Imperial" and found it fascinating! Quite a peace of automotive history!!
Vice Grip President anyone? All foreign dignitaries have to meet in the garage to solve world issues by working to rebuild something. Derek for Vice President!
You know you've made it when 40k people in an hour will watch you wash a car. Well done Sir.
He saving cars worldwide inspiring new mechanics
Yes indeed. Greatest channel on the Tube, hands down.
She cleans up right nicely. I could see myself cruisin' this rig around town. Great job Derek. 👍👍
OMG!! When you asked what is the gas tank caught on, my husband said the fuel neck. Then you said you heard people saying the fuel neck stop shouting. We are laughing over here in Pennsylvania!! 😂❤ Thanls for the great content!
Love when you guys find a car in the barn and clean it up
No Car has ever needed a Hellcat swap more.
Derek, if you had to take a guess, how many miles do you think you have under your belt just in driving revivals back home? I can only imagine.🤯
Thousands and thousands
I can hear Carl Sagan saying it now...."Billions and Billions"
