I had 3 '69s, in my youth, the third of which was actually a Caprice, which was my favorite of the three. All great cars! Wish I'd had the money and the time to restore the Caprice. Good job on yours, and good luck!
My mother bought a new 70 Impala. As a teenager, I got to drive it occasionally. I was impressed at how quickly it would exelerate to illegal speeds for a big car, with only a two barrel carb.
My brother had a 66 Caprice with a 327 in it. He got his license 2 years before I did, and we cruised that beast like crazy cranking bands like the Cars, Nazareth, and Creedence Clearwater Revival. 1978 was a really good year, and 1979 was even better.
This video brought back memories when I was doing the same exact thing on my 69 impala custom coupe .
Quadrajet is better then any edelbrock.
I was going to say that but he was so excited about the Edelbrock I didnt have the heart to tell him. Hes got a long path ahead of him he needs all the encouragement, love, support and counseling he can get. He can get a new girlfriend when the car is done.
For sure! Qjet is my all time favorite carb. When I see an Edelbrock carb the first thing I think is that whoever put it on doesn't know how to properly rebuild a q jet.
@@michaelpung4121 exactly
extremely dependable GM 350 engine, millions were on the road, lots still are
My first 2 cars were 69 Impalas. My dream is to find an old 69 and rebuild it so I can teach my grandsons how to drive with it.
I had a 69, that was the same color, with a black vinyl top. It was a great looking car!
Not original hub caps those are off 80s Chevy impala,Monte Carlo, Malibu
7 try 6
I bought a 4 door 1969 Biscayne last may 327 with a powerglide sat since 99. Me and my buddies freed the motor and got it running within 2 days all it took was a set of points (did a full tune up since I did that part) and poured a little tranny fluid into the cylinders and it freed up and doesn't miss a beat now. Love these cars
This is going to be a cool project look forward to seeing more of it. I see it still sports the engine mount straps that GM used to combat poor motor mounts from about 1966. Well done!!
My first car was a 69 Impala with a 396
My first car was a 66 Caprice 396. Paid $350 for it 1973.
Mine was a 1969 396 too. I bought it in 1979 for $300 and drove it home from the DMV the day of my 16th birthday.
A 600 cfm is big enough
True but the factory Qjet on that car was 750 cfm. Metering rods on these carbs control fuel flow according to application.
Nice ride! Stay with the q-jet. Bwahhhhh!
Interior is vinyl, not leather.
It'sprobably not vinyl either.it's probably naugahyde. That was the hot upholstery material in those days.
@@raywilson800 Its definitely vinyl. According to original sales literature anyway. And when I've ordered NOS material its been vinyl.
Makes me miss my 68 sport coupe, 327 4bbl 4speed 12 bolt posi split bench front seat with tachometer, my dad bought it from his co worker at John Deere in moline IL who special ordered him so close to ss impala, it could of been a twin what fun I had I taught many pretty girls to drive a 4 speed 😉
Those hubcaps don't appear to be original. Wire wheel covers was more of a late 70s thing like on my parents 79 Monte Carlo landau. They also bought a 70 Impala custom deluxe brand new off the showroom floor that had more like dog dish type hubcaps
First thing I would have done was brought me an hei distributor and throw them old points and coil away.
It looks like the Impala from HotRod Garage David Friburgers car.
Little Arches 😂lol I love it ! Their called Skirts My Homiey 👍🏼
Just seen thumb nail bad ass car and they are called fender skirts is it a69 350 4 bolt main such a mean looking car its screaming big block deep dish old corvette rallys hope to see more i think they made a 69 ss 427 or 454 to good luck
Of course it will run its a Chevy you fix it with a hammer!!!
Hi I wonder if you still got the carb I want to buy it and rebuild it I am in WA state
Would love to see it run again
Then stay tuned! Gonna be working on it again here soon!
@@allenclassiccars1257 I just picked up a 69 caprice the previous owner said it needs a rear main seal but I only saw it leaking transmission fluid it needs trunk pan it currently has 64,000 miles on it it’s a small picture on my RUclips of the car I paid 6,000 for the car he wanted 10,000 at 1st Then he lowered the price to 8500 and nobody bought it and then he lowered the price to 6,000
Man I don't have that much time you talk too long
Keep the Rochester carburetor on that car just rebuild it it's simple do not switch carburetors keep the car original
Those are called fender "skirts"
I had a '69 Impala Custom with some super sport options. It had a rebuilt small block LT1 with a lot of other performance upgrades. The original color was the same blue as yours. When I got it it had a new red paint color. I drove the hell out of that car for a good five years. Ended up having to let it go but I sure as hell had a lot of fun owning & driving it......
Take 3k?
20 years of storage fees?? How many times did you buy that car?
haha. It was only in storage for 6 months. Waiting to get the floors put in, then I'll have that video up!
Lol... I had to put my elco in storage for about $500 worth. Luckily I have sweet Aunt who is allowing me to keep it in her driveway until I get my money right. Life's so expensive nowadays.
The starter you have is for a flex plate that has 168 teeth, hence the diagonal mounting pattern. The one they tried to sell you with the straight bolt pattern is for a 153 tooth flex plate.
nice car but man put gas in the carb not starting fluid anyway treat her good she will treat you good
Sell me your Quadrajet
I'll keep you in mind!
Quadrajet best carb ever made if tuned correctly you can't beat them. Edelbrock carbs are my least favorite. If you get the smallest dirt particle in it you will be on the side of the road pulling the top of it.
Yep '69 vintage 750cfm Qjet is a nice find!
Old Chevys never give you any trouble. They always start.
Rochesters aren’t outdated. Just ignorance.
isnt that bad???? you fell in love with the wrong girl.
The AC is aftermarket .
How can you tell the AC is after market ?
Awesome video. That first time they fire off, love it.
Are You going to make any follow up videos? I just bought a 69' Impala with no spark.
Im gonna do 3 more parts on her at least! Could be a number of things with no spark.
mustie1's son, for sure
Are the wheel arches for sale
They are gonna go with the whole car when she is done!
