FORGOTTEN 1969 Chevelle Will it RUN AND DRIVE 500 MILES Home?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- This is the first half of a 1,600-mile trip which includes two classics which together were parked for 44 years, a flight, sleepless nights, and plenty of wrenching! This 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle was very well taken care of. It has a 307 small block chevy, original to the car, backed by a 2 speed Powerglide transmission. At one point, restoration was started. It received a lot of bodywork and beautiful blue metallic paint. The car was parked in 2003 after it's inspection ran out, so it's been sitting for 17 years. Do you think it will start, and drive 500 miles to the new owner?

My dad was an engineer for General Motors for 42 years. He was born in Northport, Michigan, and when he worked on his cars, said “bat-tree”, “a tickle”, and frequently said “I’ll be dipped”. Thanks for making this 51 yr old daughter of a Detroit auto engineer smile at the memories of her dad. ❤️💞
❤️🚙✌️
PRECIOUS. BLESS YOU
I have a friend who worked at the plant in flint. He lives in arkansas down the road from me now and always has loads of stories to tell about his time working there

awww what a comment
it only takes about 5 seconds to know this guy is the real deal, the world is full of good people,... but the media wants us to think we all dislike each other. this dude is an American treasure. dave in NC:)
I swear you have the only channel that posts an hour long video that is worth watching!
Thank you very much!!
Ain't never seen Andrew Camarata then 👍
@@ViceGripGarage Def true! Watched it all! Phenomenal intro, lol ... "I got a toothbrush and a Waylon Jennings tape, ...that seems like plenty." ha

@@ViceGripGarage I second that motion!
I’m a Ford guy who loves a chevelle. Something about them. Just starting watching these videos and I love his content and positive attitude and he’s funny. Thanks sir
Nice to see Mr. DB has garnered another fan... You won't be disappointed.
I'd just like to recognize how this comedic genius is able to NEVER SAY A SINGLE SHRED OF FOUL LANGUAGE. Absolute genius. And educational. 👌 Great job Derek.
@@toomanyhobbies2011 Amen!!!! God Bless you!!!
fuck yes!
@@jeffreyday2414 Talk less.
Got wholesome dad energy for sure.
Yeah one of these videos along the line he cussed and I was like…..I’ve listened to this cat for 50 hours and he said one cuss word 😂
At least you were able to sneak in a burnout, would have been wrong not to. It was cool of you to do that for Ken, I’m sure he’s super excited about that car, very nice.
Thanks for watching!!
what kinda tires are these...stalongtime?
Grandma smiled in heaven
He has a distinctive sense of humor - very refreshing. Enjoyed his gab.
Hes a combination of a few of the characters on the Canadian show Letterkenny. Love the dry humor. Being from NJ i can't tell if he's joking or if this is how he normally speaks.
I'd get on like a house on fire
I don’t know if passion is the word... I wish ur channel would be a part of curriculum in high school auto shops for our younger generation to not only learn inspiration,but great attitude ! Thanks for the entertainment and great content..
keep ur grip on the vise!😂Gods peace brother!
I'm having Red Green show Flash Backs!!
I love to watch your shows! It is very educational and I appreciate the fact that you DONT use FOUL language!!! most of these shows are not family friendly, thank you for your professionalism and integrity!
"Chevy small block firing order on my tombstone. So humid a mosquito passed out. This is my Tonya Harding. Niagara Falls has been relocated to my back." Best one liners since Henny Youngman. An American Red Green.

"what kind of tires are these stay a long time?"
307 thats a weak motor . I had one and I do not like a 307 or a 305 they do not have much power at all . I had both I know .
THIS GUY'S FUNNIER'N SHIT!
And motel 3.5 🤣
"They make bigger motors for this thing if you want to go faster and recycle tires" lmfao I love your sense of humor
I discovered this channel about 2 days ago & ive just been binge watching all I can. Good wholesome content! Keep it up 👍
Thank you Adam
Same lol
Me too, must have hit some kind of the old You Tubes recommendation algorithmies
@@r3nmgod Well I be dipped! We hit the jackpot. Grab a cold snack & enjoy.

I found this channel through a friend and glad I did. I laugh so hard and sometimes get teary-eyed watching, but it helps my PTSD I unfortunately gained from Afghanistan. You telling people to keep there feet moving on there projects motivates me daily. I lost my dad in 2018 and can't even count how many motors we put in his K5 blazer or El Camino. Thank you so much for what you're doing and if get to Texas again look me and wife up we'll have a woble pop. God Bless you.
These old landyachts are just so appealing and lovable in a way that any new car could never, ever match. She is a beauty and you did an awesome job bringing her right round! She is a beautiful going to town rig.
Everyday rig.
That Volvo you got there is nice too
This Chevelle is hardly a "land yacht." The wheelbase is 112". That's 4" shorter than a new Challenger, and weighs less than the Challenger.
@@toomanyhobbies2011 The Buick he did was a land yacht! Other than the "Malibu" badging and package goodies, you're looking at one of THE most desirable muscle cars of ALL TIME (maybe #1, actually - except if you're a Mopar man screaming 426 HEMI rules! - which may be true). If the new owner is a collector, he may leave it as is - a "grandma yacht". If not - grab those vice grips and a 454 5-speed, we're going for a ride.
Took me a while watching to realize that, when he says "A guy" did this or that, he's talking about himself. Really enjoy the content!
a guy's a little slow to the jump
Lol
Like when the English queen say's 'we' she mean herself and not us.
Took u a while? 😳
Everything is happening now

You beat me to it.
When did you change the car from 72 to a 69 ?
I wish this man every bit of success because he deserves it.
Yeah he works for every dollar he gets!
A trick I learned from a master mechanic from the good old days:
If your engine is running rough on and off place your hand over the carburetor and choke the engine out while simultaneously giving it all the onions. Just before the engine is about to die let her breath while still giving her the juice. It will pull any residue and junk from the jets and such.
I use the exact same technique on the wife when I'm givin HER the "onions".
@@donellmuniz590 "giving her the onions" coz it makes her eyes water?.
I used to be a warranty return tech for a mower company, used to do that with the Briggs and Scrap iron L head engines... Try the pull start, most wouldn't pull as they were just thrown in a crate front side down so the oil got past the rings. remove the plug and filter, Check for a spark, fresh fuel, prime it, pull it, choke it, run it until it stops smoking from the oil in the cylinder.
@@donellmuniz590 made my day!
@@djjjs7375 That was my goal, D :)
Derek: I chose this battery because - followers of this channel will know...
Me : It was the cheapest available.
Derek: ... it has the handle.
Me : sure mate, sure. 😂
Cheapest one with a handle, that is.
Same!
I did the same exact thing
same here!
Armageddon89,
Exactly what went through a guy's head.
Bud, you need - no DESERVE your own Netflix road-trip series where you do random fixes for friends across the world and randomly fix cars and drive them to the next destination!
Take it from an ex long haul trucker. You got a family and they need you. Missing holidays and bdays for a job isn't worth it.
@@jeremypotter4184 Same in the Oil Patch bud at least yours isn't feast or famine it's steady Freddie...... unless you own the truck then well you know.
Wrong. "They" would ruin the show and add fake drama and issues. That's why I come to RUclips. I can find authentic people to watch unfiltered. This was a great episode.
Should get a guest spot on letterkenny
@@drechsla Ooooh I could see that. At least a better option than McMurray...
Love your videos. This one especially as I own a 72 Malibu with the 307. She’s was my first car. I still have her, but she has sat for over 30 years. Love her. She never let me down. That 307 is solid, not a power house, but it wasn’t meant to be. You are inspiring me to bring her back to life.😊
feed it some gogo juice
“Well help me understand” 😂 gets me every time.
The brake check was amazing, never change... Haha
Also an hour long Chevelle revival video is just what a guy needed!
Appreciate you watching!
I expect that master cylinder at the rear was not quite concentric anymore. Old systems will load up/saturate with water and that's where the corrosion likes to set in.
“What is with the weather around here?!” “I watched a misquote pass out. 15 minutes ago” 🤣🤣🤣

This is a legit cool car! A decent start was made on restoration, and I think Grandma would be proud it survived as well as it has.
"There's a chainsaw store about every 200 yards...every business has the word Bear or Wolf in it...and I just saw a guy on a four-wheeler ordering tacos"....Sounds like a nice town. 👍

@@rectnreclmdllc.6320 shame he didnt down in ky to the eastern part it makes that place look like a metropolis. looks like derek went to florence area at the end of the video. idk where the car was going but im guessing a guy went west from pa to columbus and down to cinci into ky.
I am from Central PA and that is one of the most accurate descriptions I have ever heard.!!! 👍👍
YEE YEE
Thinking on moving there 4 wheelers and tacos cant beat that rite

What frightens me the most Derek is that I began watching you last year and I was like...."WTF is he saying???"....fast forward to today and I talk to friends about cars the same way you do. I HAVE BEEN INFECTED!!!!!
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!!! Always fun and entertaining!!
The ole 69 SheVell is my favorite. That is amazing how it came back to life so easy and wanted to be reliable right off the bat. I wish you would have read those two plugs.
"That seems unnecessary" is my fave new catchphrase. Enjoying these shows.
Car wash part had me crying laughing “THATS NOT A LOT OF FOAM FOR 15 BUCKS!!!”
From my experience, if no one had been through the wash in awhile, the foam squirters usually hit 100% efficiency around the time it's squirting the back half of the rear deck lid. Always nice to be following someone through a car wash, especially for the foaming portion 😉
I WANT 2 BUCKS BACK!
So this guy popped up in my recommended feed. Ive watched a tonne of your vids. Love them. Help me understand how ive not seen you before.
"Sorry Ken" I was laughing almost immediately. That 307 still got some poke with some help of that one wheel peal action.
Yep Perfect.....Stay long tyres.......wont be Chinese then....
First time viewer. Was not expecting that at the end. Good stuff
I absolutely loved seeing someone else being as optimistic as I about resurrection and enjoying what once,was the standard of automobiles.. I feel sorry for the younger generation that have no freaking idea what points or vacuum advance distribution is.. Lol. I really enjoyed your video man,especially knowing the pain in the a$$,to dig one out of dirt,wheel bearings have become one with the spindle,the ❤ being 30 ft. Away buried up to its curbatater,and after a marvel mystery bath,breaker bar,and lots of sweet nothings in its ear hahaha. I stick with my air cooled vws,however all the fun and actual awesome moments that weren't seen or some folks may not understand.. I like it.... P.s. no water snakes or vermishous kanid pumps to deal with in air cooled...lol. Right on man great stuff!!!!
"The humidity....I just saw a mosquito pass out over there about 15 minutes ago..." 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Yep. Altoona is about the same elevation as most of Pittsburgh. Despite not being very far south it's in a deep valley with rivers everywhere.
That had me rolling, being a Floridian made it all that much more funny. It's like that 8 months out of the year.
Welcome to pa lol
@@RecklessPlayers12 Indiana gets humid as hell with Michigan cold
My Mom had a 66 Biscayne with a 307, that exact same colour. My Dad loved it cause he loved the 307.
Mom hated it. She claimed people pulled out in front other all the time cause it was the colour of the sky. Lots of fender benders.
A fellers been through about all of Derek's video's...after watching most of them, a guy wishes he had a neighbor like Derek...happy to sit through ads and see him be successful with RUclips....he deserves it..hope you and yours had a great holiday season.
RE: wires....I do mine one at a time, after I lay out all the new ones. That's how dad taught me to do it. Of course, those aftermarkets never match the old stuff...but a guy matches them up as best he can. If they all reach plugs at the end of the day and all the cylinders fire, I call that success.
mine always have numbers on them lol motorcraft
Seriously though. Why does a guy need to comment 11teen times?
They are lengths for a reason.. chevys are the easiest to get right furds need digits...
My son is almost 2 years old. I’ll ask him what he wants to watch and his response is “Dewek!” (Derek). Awesome videos man.

@@ViceGripGarage I live in Cincinnati and I saw you going up the big hill on 75 as soon as you leave Cincinnati and go into Kentucky. If that Car was ever going to overheat it was going to be pulling that giant monster....lol. I hope to see that car in some of the local car shows that I attend with my cars.
While you were in Florence did you get to see the giant "Florence Y'all" tower??? I assume you flew out of Greater Cincinnati Airport when you went home. I hope you didn't get caught up in all that road construction that seems to be every other mile around here at the moment....lol
Hell it would have overheated on that steep grade out of Altoona or on the PA pike whoof!!!!!!!
MayPop rad hoses. Popular brand in the day.
An hour long and I didn't even mind - in fact, I was sad when it was over. This was a good one! The families and history behind the cars are what make for even better content! Great job!

Considering its been sitting for 17 years, it will probably smell weird until it airs out eventually.Also it might have bad gas in the tank.
That malibu is saying keep driving me!!!.
@@ViceGripGarage I REALLY enjoyed it.... like thingamabobber really!!!!!!
A guy died when he said, “that’s not a lot of foam for 15 bucks!”

I still can't believe he's got such nice paint on an old car and didn't even go to a touchless wash.
"What's he squirting on the wheels? I just want the soap....gimme the soap thing"......…"THAT'S NOT A LOTTA FOAM FOR FIFTEEN BUCKS!!!!" I am cracking up laughing 😂😂😂😂
The car wash was the best part!! 🤣🤣🤣
I love this guy and I haven't even kissed him.
"I don't want bug spray" ... that one got me
Every time I watch one of your vids, I learn something about cars I didn't know. Love the drives across USA andcthe cool music.

You are so right sir! It sure does give a guy lots of memories and good stories 👍
Thank you!!
As always, a comedic genius!!! I love watching these!!!
I love the burnout you did at the end, always loved the Chevelles, they’re nice dependable all around cars. My aunt back in the day had a 69 and drove it off a bridge into a riverbank and drove it home, I think it did more damage to her than the car!
I have a soft spot for this video. My first car was a 68 307 that looked just like this. Ignition was in the dash. Im sure youve all heard it before......man I wish I still had it
"Elvis's hair brush, this is really nice." 😂 A feller needs a book of VGG quotes.
Let a guy know when that book is out. 🤔
Well, I'll be dipped!
Sign me up too 👍🏻 even a VGG T-shirt with Tanya Harding & a big hammer on back LOL
Haha! Derrek youre too.funny!
easy..... Easy...... EASY!
STEADY ..... EASY!
right in the feels!
I thing the saying, "Steering wheel is crooked but she drives straight." Would be a great name for a country song.
Now I would buy a book of Derekisims In fact I heard my self say “well I’ll be dipped “ the other day when cleaning out my shop
I can't stop saying that now
I keep catchin myself saying MOSES!!
I can’t say battery correctly anymore.
"Well I don't know"
I found myself telling a customer she needed new sparkolators last week! Lucky she just said "yep no problem" 😁
It’s the knowledge, experience, some comedy, love and respect that wins the day... this day was a winner watching this.
Thank you Derek... your human 👍🇷🇴 🇬🇧

@@tr6681 I was just thinking that too.
Omg yes
The most accurate description lmao
You remind me of my cousin Tom who lives on a farm near Hector, MN. Being a old auto mechanic I really enjoy your videos.
Ken is going to love that car and the original family seem like amazing people nice burnout at the end Derek @ViceGripGarage
This man is just an awesome example of humanity. Genuine through and through.
He sure is!
We need a gazillion-forty more of 'em!
One rare individual indeed!
I love how clueless he acts and then he ends up getting everything right and getting home most of the time
My favorite part is when he says words he makes up for the proper terminology, and then opens the "power barn" and rattles off the engines complete with specs and years and what transmission it's mated to and maybe even gear ratios or type of trans if you're particularly lucky that say. I'm starting to talk like him in the comments I come up with.
You ended up at the BP right next to my house!! I'm in Florence. Had I only known, I would have walked up with a few "cold snacks".
Yep he's a good actor.
Hi Derek, just wanted to pass on a quick note of thanks. I don't think you and other RUclipsrs get enough credit for the terrific job do editing your videos. I'm assuming you're like most of us and just taught yourself as you went along. To me, the best parts of youtube are seeing creators grow and develop into wonderful editors and cinematographers without any formal training. Love your videos. Blessings to you and your family! ❤🙏👍
Thanks,!
"Sorry Ken." And I thought there wasn't gonna be a burnout on this vidjer.
Gotta Test oner!
Haha way to end an episode :)
I was worried he was gonna give it to Ken without a proper test on it!! Nice ending. Very nice car Ken!!
I do my wires one at a time because I’m stupid 😂 and that’s with a 2 cylinder 😂😂👌
ONE at a time is better.+ dielectric grease....ALWAYS.
I do mine one at a time because I dont want them crossed and I know I'll mess it up somehow. Makes sense to do one at a time.
Dave Micolichek Well the firing order much depends which end you start counting on. (With a Citroën 2CV it doesn’t, they fire at the same time but only one cylinder has fresh fire maker in it.)
Same here i usely clamp em down make em nice and neat
“A guy” might be able to sit and watch these for hours. Good stuff man.
I'm guilty of that!
this guy did. I'm into cars and this is something I wished my father did, instead of being drunk, yell and sit in front of the TV all day till I left home. Not only I learn more about cars but I can pretend I'm having the experience with Derek.
Be nice to your kids and spend time with them yo. You have no idea what kind of life experiences you're robbing them of when they grow up to be adults.
Over, and over, and over......
i am a Gal and love these videos
@@Adrian2140
I’m in the same boat man. It sucks worse because my dad has restored cars his whole life but when it comes to doing anything with or for me it’s a fight so I just give up. He just gets home and sits in front of the tv, drinks and gets abusive.
Brings back memories, my first car was a 1968 chevelle, dark blue, white top, black and white interior, 307, powerglide. My dad and I rebuilt it when I was 15, so I was able to put it on the road when I turned 16.
My wife just said, "What ARE you watching ?" and I said, "You'd LOVE this man if you gave him a chance !" and she said "Well THAT'S not going to happen !". So that's her loss then ! This man's videos should be broadcast into every school for children from the age of about 11 and perhaps if Derek could develop lectures in every subject then exam results would skyrocket and the world would be a much happier place ! DEREK FOR PRESIDENT !
You're absolutely
Correct
Naaahhhhh........ he's much too intelligent for that position
I don't get comments like this which essentially boil down to "My wife saw this and thought it was shit", whats he supposed to make of that! Haha
He has too much common sense and intelligence for the presidency
Your videos are great, it brings back memories from the 70's when my dad and I had a small business restoring/flipping cars. Once he bought a 64 Corvair Spyder Convertible from a place called "The Lucky K Ranch" for $200. We got it home and decided to see if we could get it running, we checked the points, plugs and he shot some ether into the intake of the turbo while I cranked and it fired to life with a HUGE explosion that blew off the muffler..but it ran! Good times.
Love the corvairs. My first car back in 1976. I always wanted the Spider Convertable.
@@rickstuparyk3306 they are neat cars. He had several Corsas which I was allowed to drive. My friend had a new Trans (wealthy family) which could just barely keep ahead of the Corsa but when we were on curvy roads the Corsa would destroy it.
"goin to town shirt, toothbrush and a Waylon Jennings tape" when I heard that, I KNEW a guy was gonna enjoy this video
and dam if I knew you were gonna be in the Burgh I wouldve gladly helped you, you drove right past me to get to Altoona lol
Same! We're just north of the burgh, up in butler county.
I'm working my way threw all your videos in order..
This was one of the best..👍
I do my wires one at a time. Take one off put one on. "I don't know" I'll be dipped!
Calling a hammer a Tonya Harding never fails to amuse!
And don't forget the old Cosby in a can (ether starting fluid) lol
I personally died at "I'm a lone-wolf 6000 trigger"
“TSS tss Tsss tasss, ohh I lost the receipts” had me rolling my friend.
i like the simplicity (not a lot of hoses) of the engine compartment!
throughout the video i kept thinking about the one lean looking sparkplug, what caused it and how it would affect things on the trip to kentucky.
I can just imagine the car wash staff actually hearing him from the guts of the car wash "Thats not a lotta soap for 15 bucks!!!"
I was surprised to see a car wash that still has mirror removers. Oh plus the squid dancin over the hood.

There few things as exciting in life as when a feller gets home from work... after a long day of being beat like a cabin screen door, kicks up his feet with a steak on the grill, cracks open a cold one, then realizes there's a new VGG video. Bliss.
In 1970 my friend had a 69 Chevelle with 350ci. It was black interior dark blue on outside. The 307 you have in video was the family [commuter] edition. Considered a nice car in it's time, stable, neat and reliable. It has an amazing [padded] dash array which was rather new at the time. . It cleans up nice, a worthy restore project as an iconic sedan of 1969.-70 era

I’m not a mechanic nor an automobile restorer. I just really enjoy watching you get these old beauties running. Keep it up.
You are American right?
I cannot explain how awesome each one of your videos is Derek. You are so positive and wholesome. You teach and inspire more folks every day and I appreciate the content from this channel more than any other. I look forward to waking up and just replaying a video in the background while I am working or watching the latest 2 hour video, that felt like 15 minutes. You make me laugh and I enjoy seeing the healthy relationships you have with your kids and wife. Please never stop sharing your life with us. You are refreshing - Hope to meet you one day. Thanks again!

I was at the parts store with my wife this morning and asked to get the oil with more dinos and vitamins lol I didn't even think twice and it came out so natural . She looked at me like I was stupid.

I did that once, asking for a "lightning whirler" for my 1996 Chev half ton. Amazingly the parts guy watched VGG as well adn got me hooked up with one :D
plug wires 1 at a time because it requires the least amount of functional memory from me. My Minnesnowta-born dad told me it was "cotter pin." I believe him. His choice of cold snacks was also Hamm's. You guys know each other?
I like watching your videos! You do a nice job explaining problems with the vehicle's! Awesome keep up the good work and God bless you my friend!🙏😊
"So we got about 12.7 miles to the gallon..."......
It's a 69 Chevelle... IT'S FINE! 👍
You certainly are a character! Watched the whole "episode" with a smile on my face! Thanks man! Valuable learnage!
I just love his word's that he uses to describe stuff and how he says the guy.

Here in Missouri you're likely to see some 350lb corn fed feller on a 10hp craftsman at the drive thru liquor store.
as someone in respectable range of Altoona, i can confirm that every statement made about the area in this video is pretty much true.
I think Altoona played wide receiver (much like my wife) for the Jets.
I got 15 minutes in and was immediately like "Yup, I think this is my new favorite VGG episode."
I died when you put the rad hose on the gas can ! Bout spit my cold snack across the room !
