The Chevy Impala holds a special place in my heart. My first car at age 16 was a 1969 Impala Custom Coupe with a 396 big block, turbo 400 tranny, and a positrack rear end that could dig holes in blacktop. I bought it for $300 in 1979 and that car was a beast. Only had a 2 barrel carb, but I still maxed out the speedometer that went to 120mph. Mint green with a white vinyl top and the faux wood paneling interior.lol My mom had a ginormous Kingswood station wagon that she taught me to drive in. Trying to parallel park that beast was a real challenge. It was white so we nicknamed it the"great white buffalo" and it was so big it had its own zipcode. A family with 5 kids needed this size of car to get around when gas was like 50 cents a gallon. Caprices and Impalas were some great cars that I cruised a lot of main drag miles back in the day. My brother had a 1966 caprice with a 327 in it and we cruised that car listening to this new band called the Cars singing about a girl named Candy-O. Those were the days.
Thanks man. Classic cars are my life! Here’s my latest find a 1974 Barracuda 1974 Barracuda Parked For 20 years! Will It Run Again? #dailydriverdiaries ruclips.net/video/Y_s2a9sxHDc/видео.html
Beautiful 61 Impala right there that cars going to look fine cruising the streets. I've got a 58 Impala that I'm currently working on. Also picking up a 64 Impala this weekend too
Man that’s nice. Impala’s and Caprices were the literal life blood of my family growing up. We owned them as family cars and used them to build a very successful taxi cab business in our small town. They’ve been such a huge part of my life growing up. They will ALWAYS be close to my heart no matter the year.
The 1966 Caprice and the 1969 Impala Custom Coupe both were a big part of my first years driving and cruising. My older brother owned the 66 Caprice and was driving 2 years before I turned 16 and bought a 69 Impala with a 396 big block for $300. It was a ten year old car the year I bought it and got my drivers license. Freedom from being a pedestrian in a small town with my first car, and I drove it home from the DMV on my 16th birthday. Put a Pioneer 8 track sound system with some Crayco 6x9s cranking out tunes like Tom Petty, Bad Company, .38 special, and Black Sabbath. Those were the days.
Of all the Impalas, the 61 model is the one I see the least. While it is the first year of the SS and 409, I feel that it's the most underrated of the 60s Impalas. Very cool find!!
My twin cousin's had two 1961 impalas in the 1980s when no one was even looking at them. They were really cool looking, they sold them for newer car's.
I have a '61 Buick bubble. Hasn't been on the road in a while, need to get it going! It's rare to find one that rust free, can't wait to see what you do with it.
I actually sold this one and dumped the money into other projects like my ‘69 Caprice 427/4-speed car ruclips.net/video/cKDAQGwPAmM/видео.htmlsi=-5vZi5acOfJYqo-M
What a great find. Seems to be in good shape and someone had some real plans for it looking at the engine modifications. Sealed up the Carb opening too! Nice of them. Trim is there, interior nice. Finish it all the way, bring it back! I'll be watching!
dezzy well I have to admit that I’m also a hoarder and you are exactly right that the first part of letting go of something of your hoard is admitting that you have a problem and I really want to say Ty for saving another beautiful impala from the junkyard
You got yourself a beauty there , brother ... a 61 is definitely on my bucket list ! I hope you show us what you do with that beauty as I'd love to see her all cleaned up with the trim in place ... I'm driving a 60 Biscayne & just love those old Impalas .
First time I've visited your channel. The car is amazing. But, what really stood out was how you and the seller were getting along. Right on the same wavelength. Love of old iron, bringing people together. Subscribed!
Great video. What a brilliant car! Thanks for sharing. I know the temptation might be to hot rod it, but I would keep it pretty standard - maybe in a beautiful period silver colour.
The car caught my attention but then I realized that you were in Washington State I was riveted. Grant county, Grand Coulee dam. I have relatives right there. Looking forward to seeing it cleaned up.
Damn good find. Just bought a 66 Plymouth fury sport 440 buckets 727 pos chased it for. 3 years. HAaaaa now. She's mine happy as a pig at the slop troff
You are a lucky man. I had one of these brand new in 1961 and I always loved the car. Best of luck restoring your ride. What would I do with it? I would restore it back to stock, rebuild the entire suspension, with up graded front disc brakes and redo the interior if needed. Then I would drive it everywhere within limits.
What?! That is a score. I'm seeing a Nova, and Camaro, and God only knows what else at that spot. Wow, man. I do this same thing and I know you fought that load the whole way home...a bit heavy on the ass end with it on there backwards. Going to be a sweet car.
1961 Chevy with a bubble top roof, it probably a 283 engine 2 or 4 barrel Rochester Carb, power guild transmission, but a good car back then. Glad to see this young man taking a interest in this area too.
I love your adventure to E WA. I live in Eohrata and I am a car nut too. I have a huge collection of 56 Buicks and your young enough to get these cars back on the road. Best to you always
I have always liked the 1961 Chevy Impala bubble top. They are kinda rare, I have seen very few at car shows. I remember my Aunt and Uncle owned two of them back in the early 70s, one of them got wrecked. I was a little kid then in elementary school. The 2nd one they had they bought for my cousins to drive. I would love to see it after it is all restored, they are beautiful old cars.
My favorite impala .In my opinion the 61 is the car the ties the all of the 50s and 60s Impalas together . It kinda resembles all of them from that era
Well done Dezzy, you da man! Got a 1961 Chevy Impala slant-six (think it's a slant?) convertible all original that has been sitting in a garage for 40 years! It was my grandmother's that went to my uncle along with the house in 1981. Uncle passed, and now the whole estate is in litigation (long story). Hope to get that thang "recovered" before too long; no hurry I guess as it has been where it is for four decades. **shrug**
Very possible vehicle with minimal rust and most likely only needing a good wash and wax.Then with the trim and other details taken care off it can become a sharp looker.
When I growed up, our family car was a '61 Impala white with red interior 409 4 speed and a bubble top, my mom didn't like it so she continued to drive the '55 Pontiac Chieftain which was 2tone red and white, awesome car and in '66 got a Chevrolet Impala, traded the Pontiac in and kept the '61 cause was my dad's favorite,,,funny thing after getting rid of the Pontiac the '61 ended up being my mom's favorite driver 😀,,women are funny that way, go figure 😀thanks for sharing and as always ❤"Howdy from Texas "!!
I drove half way across Canada for a '72Monte Carlo.I would drive half way around the world for a'61 2 door Chev(and take a couple of buddies to get that'58 home as well...SWEET !)
'61 is one of my favorite years. Soooo classy looking!

Had a 69 Impala myself and still miss it! Mine was green with a black vinyl roof.
I would go back in a heartbeat for that '58 too.
So cool to see a young man interested in rescuing, and, restoring these beautiful classics which I saw so many of in my youth, I was born 1951..
RIP
Why RIP?

Impala AFFIRMATIVE Caprice not so much (except 1973 through 1975).

The '61's rusted badly. Most went to the crusher.
My twin cousin's had two 1961 impalas in the 1980s when no one was even looking at them. They were really cool looking, they sold them for newer car's.
Agree 100%
I love the lines of the 61. Nice find!
@@ernestcoombejr.3047 that they did! Especially around the tops of the front fenders.
Nice cars 61 and 58
Beautiful find!
Finally, excited to see this cleaned up and all the trim put back on!
Very nice find!
Nice to see another 61 find. Found my 61 2 years ago sitting in a garage for 30 years. Red with white top all original.
It's amazing how solid that car is. You did really good on that one.👍
Ill have the update video up soon so make sure your notification 🔔 is on
So is the 58. For sale. Love them.
Cool vid brother, always brings a smile to my grille seeing a barn find being saved. I'm in New Zealand but wish I was in the U.S saving old cars.
that thing is sweet! nice find/good work!
The 61 is such an exceptional design. One of my favs and I'm a Pontiac guy. Congratulations!
You're the undisputed King 👑 of car hunters!
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
I moved to Oregon from Illinois. I can't believe the cars out here without rust. There are treasures everywhere.
Yea the further East you go towards the mountains the dryer it is
Another extraordinary find. Happy for you man!
There are people that dream and there are people that do. You are a doer✊
Just living my own twisted fantasy 😂
Nice ride man!👍
Keep up the good work I love your videos. The 61 bubble top is my favorite car.

I’m working on it today btw
@@DezzysSpeedShop is it an automatic, I
Or 3 speed?
What a great car! Can’t wait to see that cleaned up!
I can't decide which one I love more, the 61 or the 58. Both are beautiful. Great find. Cheers!
What a great find. Seems to be in good shape and someone had some real plans for it looking at the engine modifications. Sealed up the Carb opening too! Nice of them. Trim is there, interior nice. Finish it all the way, bring it back! I'll be watching!
My buddy gave me a carburetor for it today for my birthday!!
@@DezzysSpeedShop Happy Birthday! to you! You are developing a fine channel! Enjoying it! Thanks

Couldn’t have gone to a nicer man. May God Bless.
Thanks for the kind words
Dam that is a sweet find man!
Great find! I had a white with red interior, with the bubble top, 283 V8. Totaled it on a 6" diameter oak tree. That baby ran like a top.
This one was originally tan on tan with a 6 cylinder and 3 speed manual

What great find, dont see them that rust free too often. So many things you could do with that car.
I had a '61 convertible back in the day. I loved that car.
That looks like a good car to restore, wow! How lucky can you be?
Yeah that's a bad boy for sure...sweet!
those were beautiful vehicles as brand new..good luck keep us posted in your progress restoring it👍!
Great find, beautiful find. I'll have to check out how it came along after a year.

A true barn find. Hope you bought it.
Very possible vehicle with minimal rust and most likely only needing a good wash and wax.Then with the trim and other details taken care off it can become a sharp looker.
Get that baby resurrected and back on the road again. That beauty is older than myself and the best styled of the late great (1958-1964) era!
Nice find guys.
What a find !!! Sick 61
61 bubble top was my first car after I got my driver's permit in 68 . It was fixed up 327 4 speed. Then someone stole it never saw it again.
Don't let a good boy go bad, take your keys, lock your car.T.V. ad circa 1967.
Man what a find those are so badass, good find.
