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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!❤
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 🤣
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!!!!
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!
That's when cars were built for people who fix things theirs elf rather than paying someone to do it. I really enjoyed working on cars. I changed a manual to a automatic transmission transmission..
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.
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 .....
1965 and '66 Chevys were cool. They came out right at the time I first got my drivers licence at 15 yo. A friend of mine(s) older brother purchased a new '66 Biscayne. 2 dr, V8 - 327 cid, special order Muncie 4 speed trans. HE WAS Mr. Cool to us.
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.
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!
@@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
Impala story. My dad had body shop from late 40's to his brother buying him out in 1968. His friend and long time customer was town's pharmacist (chet walker) and he was a GM stockholder. In l965 he ordered a new impala white with aqua interior. GM had a program for stockholder auto buyers. His wife ordered material matching overcoat and umbrella to their car's interior from the dealer and was delivered in the GM garment bag and umbrella case holder. Both were laid out flat in the trunk and presented with impala key fobs.
That is a great story! I had no idea such a program existed, and it demonstrates the passion for these cars that existed back in the day. Thank you for sharing.
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.
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!
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 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!
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.
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 ...
My daddy had one of those. I still remember sitting in the back seat. How big it was back there. Him and my mom taking me to the park. My two gig ol dogs with me. Lol
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❤❤❤
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.
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
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.
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 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! 😎
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. :)
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.
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.
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 had a 1965 ss that my grandfather, my dad, and I completely went through when I was about 14. We went through the whole car from front to rear so he could give it to my aunt as a wedding gift. When I turned 16, I got my chance to own it. White with a black vinal top. Best car I ever owned, and the memories of working with my dad and grandpa were priceless. An accident a couple years later were too bad to fix, and I went looking for another Chevrolet to start all over!
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.
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 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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
Great videos please keep them coming blessings from the uk
Thanks Michael we appreciate you watching!
I'm a Dodge guy, but those cars are beautiful and you can't argue with the reliability of a small block Chevy.
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.
'69 Torino GT is a good project.
Agree! Thanks for watching, much appreciated!
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!
Wonderful job! I had a 1966 myself with a 283. Wish I still had it. Thank you for sharing. 😉👍
You're welcome!
Hi Rich.....Another great job done. Your a fantastic Machanic. You really know your stuff. Grate Job Rich!
Thank you very much Jim!
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 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 😁
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!
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!
Such an interesting couple.
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!
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.
Cre-Oil and What The Rust......A Sleeping car don't stand a chance! You two ROCK! Keep up the work and videos! Ralph
Thanks Ralph, your comment is much appreciated! We will announce winners in our next video. Do not trust scammer text should you receive one.
Door bump strip in the photo. Good job Christina!
Thank you Baba I try:-) Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comment!
I had a 1965 ss that my grandfather, my dad, and I completely went through when I was about 14. We went through the whole car from front to rear so he could give it to my aunt as a wedding gift. When I turned 16, I got my chance to own it. White with a black vinal top. Best car I ever owned, and the memories of working with my dad and grandpa were priceless. An accident a couple years later were too bad to fix, and I went looking for another Chevrolet to start all over!
That is a nice story Jim. Glad this video brought back some memories.
both of those cars deserve a full restoration.
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.
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.
That was awesome Richard way cool
Thanks for watching Timothy! Appreciate your comment!
Growing up, I loved the Impala. It had a comfortable ride and very dependable. A legendary muscle car!
I remember them so well. They were everywhere when I was growing up.
