Really like these old station wagons I've one nothing like yours unfortunately, can't wait to see it under construction, would do the patina look but that's for you to decide, whatever you do definitely sure will look awsome thank you for sharing this video 👍
Hey partner love the the videos Man great entertainment nice cars and I hear you on the driving drag events might get to see you there my friend anyway thank you your friend and biggest fan North Georgia Mike
It brings back memories of the 69 El Camino 350 quadrajet I owned before my Ex totaled it. It was a great ride and would easily smoke a tire when I gave it the gas but, the front end would float out at around 90 Mph.
Ambitious project. Seeing your other completed projects I know it will come out great. Glad to see you do not have the VIN issue you were expecting to have.
Wow what a project . A lot of work but I know you can do it so it's going to be interesting a fun watching you work on it. I look foward to your videos.
I have never seen a 1968 Nomad......BUT I am not, and never will, doubt what you say about your information on these cars!! My reasoning behind supporting your information is very simple in fact, BECAUSE my cousin owned a 1966 Chevy Bel Air Station Wagon in 1981 then later he bought and owned a 1965 Bel Air Hardtop and a 1966 Chevy Biscayne sedan (four door) as well all around the same time period!!! What makes me remember his cars the most was the fact that one key unlocked all the doors to all three cars that he owned!! And that was weird enough, but the Bel Air Wagon and the Biscayne shared the same ignition key, while the Bel Air Hardtop could be started with the trunk key of the other two cars!! It was all very strange that they were keyed so similarly!!! But it was kind of cool at the same time!! The other weird thing about his Bel Air Wagon, was you could literally remove the key from the ignition switch WHILE it was still on and running, which he couldn't do with the other two cars!! My point is though I know they (Chevy) carried a bunch of these name plates over much later in the years, and then I have seen a 1972 Nomad once as well, that was simply just a station wagon and NOT a 2 door!! Again because a neighbor to my parents (while I was growing up) had one!!
Nice.. looking forward to the videos.. I have my mother’s old 68 Chevelle sitting here in my field she bought new.. still have the bill of sale.. still has the plastic on the rear seats!
Great video. Didn't know they made a nomad in this body. Pretty cool. I follow Dons Hot Rod Garage. He got tri five nomads. But had Cheveles down the line. He knows a lot about Nomads and can help you with parts. Tell him Dino said contact you. I'll send your link to him. Going to be a great project. I'll follow on. Have a good Day. Dino.
The Vin should be about 5 inches from the a pillar right next to the dash pad.I see it there in this video.My Malibu version came with 327 4bbl powerglide 3rd seat and power tailgate glass.Cant wait for this restoration.
I always loved this era of Nomads, They look like a Hot Rod without doing anything to them. A guy in my town has a red with black stripes and old school Craigers. Beautiful car.
hey looking forward to this build, all the upgrades you are talking about doing, I've done on my 69 Beaumont, pretty much the same wagon, I don't have ac, but I have PS pb, and a 3 way gate, no need for sunroof, opening the rear gate window will get the airflow you want, just be careful repairing the left rear quarter, right behind there is my gastank
Just caught up with ur video cause been out of town....Randy at Auto Auction Rebuild on youtube just went through same thing with 68 dart he bought!!! Some cars back in days did not get the VIN tag put in normal place on dash, they put it on drivers door. So he took numbers off drivers door and got it tagged....think he is in OLKA
I have a 69 Concours wagon. Some of the wagon only parts are hard to find. Be careful with some of that side glass as it is very rare. Enjoyed the vid!!
Glad puppy n Kitty are doin good!!! Shadow looked like she loved trip to junkyard !!!! Yeah some of those channels on youtube are full of it....Goonsquad has a 69 camaro been sitting for bout 8 months cause they don't know how to adapt new tech to old body!!!!! Any idiot can buy a high priced car wreck from Copart and go and order the replacement parts from dealer and put um back together!!! Just like they bought a helicopter and don't know first thing bought buildin it....So they farmed the job out finally after it sitting around for a year. I like ur channel, cause you fix um 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I remember these growing up. New a fella that had a turquoise one that he used for his business as a painter. I actually new of several 307 engines growing up and they were a very reliable engine and easy to soup up lol.
I just bought a 1979 Ford Fairmont that I'm building into a 2 door "Ranch Wagon" which was Ford's name for the 2 door wagon like the Nomad was for GM. Why a Fairmont? Why not? As it being a Foxbody everything can be swapped out with Mustang parts and it's a direct fit and I got it for an absolute steal, $600 running and driving and it had the 2 door drivers side door in the back covered up by a tarp, so I just have to find a passenger side door. I'm going to build it into a beach cruiser with the wood grain vinyl wrap sides, the paint is going to be Ultra Violet Metallic GN/M6717 which came on the 1995 Ford Mustang, Aerostar van and Escorts. I feel your pain about the Nomad name, I had a 1973 El Camino SS and when I would show up to car shows the old timers wanted to argue with me that "That's not and SS, all that is a trim package" which is partly true, from 73-87 the SS was just a trim package, but on the other hand the title says SS.
What happened to the LS that was in the 68 nomad ? I only hot to part 36. I cant find anyone videos for it . Id like to see the rest of the videos on it. How can I see the rest of them? Thanks. Richard.
I saw the serial number plate (vin number) right at your fingertips when you scrap with the knife. About 1/2 inch where the dash pad ends. Take look at 12:00 mins . And you left the knife just above it. Look under the knife it is just there
Need to see this girl back to it's glory. Don't get rid of the bench seat. Find the original hubcaps and rims. I want to see what it looked like from the factory. Please make it an OG restoration.
My hat's off to people who save cars from the crusher and restore them. Believe me if I was financially capable I would do it myself. To each his own how they decide to restore it but for me restoring it to its original beauty is what I love to see. Good luck with your Nomad. Hope it turns out great.
@@clunkersandclassics I've not finished the video yet, should've watched full video before commenting haha, I love your real world approach, cars built to be used, driven and enjoyed!
The rear doors on a 4 door sedan are car specific. They will not fit your wagon, 4 door hardtop or any other Chevelle. So the rubber door gaskets will be wagon specific and I just looked it up. Steele Rubber Parts has what looks like most of the rubber door seals, rubber seal pieces for all the doors and tail gate etc. Yes they made Nomads in 1968 through 1972 just like you said. People have a hard time wrapping it around their heads because it is not a tri five. GM was capitalizing on a name just like Impala which was a 2 door hard top or convertible for 1958. The following year it was offered in all body syles.
the leaves plant one time even made big trucks but towards the end they make the Chevy Caprice in '89 and then the plants closed up and be a car auction place now
It's just a rebadged name in 68. Like the Mustang ll or 80's 442, I can understand how some folks feel about the original Nomad concept its just not the same anymore.
that white sedan beside of the wagon that a Chrysler Fifth Ave right you know the rear door got a cover up window all you had to do is remove the pad from the door pillar cause I got 2 of that car here 1 is rotted junk belong to my lil brother and 1 is getting a engine remove to be install in my 1989 Dakota pick up and the window is hidden. Also I never realize a Nomad had 4 doors I thought they were 2 doors from 55-57 Bel-Air models.

I had a 68 Chevy Nomad my dad gave me. It was a wagon with the V6 and a three on the tree. I wish I still had it. So yes they did make a Nomad in 68!
Yes they did but not with a V6. Straight 6 they did though.

Cool!
I remember Earl Shibe body shops in Pa, would throw that name around. That car was made in Aug 68 I was born Oct 68.
I know a dude that had a 68 Chevelle wagon that he hauled parts in.
I remember these growing up. New a fella that had a turquoise one that he used for his business as a painter. I actually new of several 307 engines growing up and they were a very reliable engine and easy to soup up lol.
They were but die hards think they're boat anchors..lol
She would look great with a reverse ram air hood and SS clone trim black out trim ext.
What did happen to the aspen r/t ?
It's under my car port.
Hell yea man love the nomad

@@clunkersandclassics Yeah it will be. My buddy that's helping me do it thinks we should make a video series on it but Idk if I want to.
That will make a great swap meet car. Load up your friends.....and the parts you buy.
I'm glad you picked her up out of that junk yard.

Here we go WOOT!
My neurons and synapses are ready to be learnt.
The wagon's a little rough. But, most of it should buff right out.
G'day mate...stay true brother love the channel....should have more subs than this ..but we will get there all the best mate 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Much appreciated
Look again the Vin plate is not at the base of the windshield, it's close to the dashpad.
I found it
At 12.01 I can see the V.I.N. number close to the dash pad under where your hand is.
ok i should of waited untel vid was done lol thanks for getting cat out
I thought I saw the vin tag when you were scraping the rust on the dash with that plastic knife.
That's when I saw it too...lol
Enjoying your channel, is that not the VIN tag further up the dash near the dash pad? (11m58s)
Yes, I found it later in the video

Gym motors plant in Kansas Missouri is the lease plant now is a car auction place for impounded cars now and the Fairfax plant is Kansas City Kansas
Vin might be in where blower fan is in box had that problem with a 71 nova trooper had a little mirror and flashlight
Vin number might up closer to the dash pad on the driver's side not by the edge of the windshield I seen it in your video..gl
Yes, I found it later in the video
Lime green silver rally stripes. Dragon wagon. Vett rallys.
Interesting
The telegate panel should be the same as the blazer
I wish you was closer i would get that black Chevrolet Camaro
If you decide to restore this, I really hope you go with the original red
I do like the idea of red but I think I'm set on a flame job and would look better black.
@@clunkersandclassics I have no complaints on that one haha
I believe the vin is right in front of the dash pad on the left.
I found it later in the video
*"I have only ever seen 1 Chevelle
' Nomad '....
a long long time ago."*
("How would you ever get an ownership for that?¿!")
I can get a title for it through a number of ways.
Maybe try electrolysis on those rusty side panels. I like your content and God bless you.
I’m dizzy thinking of all the work
me too!
If you pull the fender well you will get access under the heater box
And the 1970s they put the sergeants into station wagons the sergeant of the police department they always had to drive station wagons
That T top Burgundy Camaro is it for sale if so how much
not for sale
the leaves plant one time even made big trucks but towards the end they make the Chevy Caprice in '89 and then the plants closed up and be a car auction place now
I never saw it but dad said he had a red one with buckets 3 speed on floor
You tripped over a hen's tooth when you found that NO MAD.
I think so
Looks like a factory ac car, I see the round ac vents and wing vents on the side windows, I could be wrong.
it is
It's just a rebadged name in 68. Like the Mustang ll or 80's 442, I can understand how some folks feel about the original Nomad concept its just not the same anymore.
I understand how they feel but to downright dismiss it when GM named it a Nomad is insane.
Ghost flames.
that white sedan beside of the wagon that a Chrysler Fifth Ave right you know the rear door got a cover up window all you had to do is remove the pad from the door pillar cause I got 2 of that car here 1 is rotted junk belong to my lil brother and 1 is getting a engine remove to be install in my 1989 Dakota pick up and the window is hidden.
Also I never realize a Nomad had 4 doors I thought they were 2 doors from 55-57 Bel-Air models.
You might be able to get the Nomad emblem copied with 3D printer.
Sounds like a plan. Now get to it! Lol.
Love the content just wish the intro music wasn't so loud
I tried to lower the volume. I'll have to redo it
Its a Yesmad now for letting it sit that long. 😁
The ls is a good idea
It's still possible
1st COMMENT!!!!!! YAY!!
Nice project. Need some 2000 ford f150 doors drivers front n both back half doors. Let me know if you could help me out can't find decent ones in ohio
too big to ship though
