My friends had a 63 blue 4 door i loved to drive as a teenager. It was stock but lowered on moon caps and white walls with dual exhaust. I loved to hear it crackle when i stepped on it. I later bought a 63 2 door white bonneville parked for years but it smoked like a chimney and i sold it back to the guy i got it from.
Great Show! I have a 60 Bonneville Convert, like yor blue one, mine was my Dads when new, I also have his 63 Grand Prix, with a 421, there in sharp original condition. So you can guess I'm a Pontiac man. I love your channel. Good luck!
Them old pontiacs back in the60s was really fast but if you ok ver wound them they would come apart at the seams i know this because im 74 years old and had them in the 60s and been a mechanic for over 55 years i remember going with my friend when he picked up a new 1969 GTO judge .i used to ride to work in a 1963 pontiac grand prix
When I store my car for the winter I drain the gas and carb and pour a couple tablespoons of oil down each cylinder and bag the carb and tape a bag over the tailpipe. It's good for long-term storage also.
Really enjoyed your video on the 63 Catalina. I have a 64 starchief with a 389 and was wondering if you could show the hookups for the vacuum system in a video?
I can't believe that you're gooing to use it for parts. Yes it's a good parts car BUT THE WHOLE CAR IS GREAT!! This is a solid car that SHOULD be brought to at LEAST a Rat rod Status!!
Would love to see how she runs with a bit more work, but totally understood about not wanting to put anything else into her after seeing that (lack of) frame. At least you'll know you have a good engine on your hands. Would be neat to know if that alternator is still charging!
Good luck with the channel. Love this sort of content. There is something special about getting old clunkers running again. Was the transmission in drive and it ran over your tool box? 😮
The poor thing doesn't have a straight body panel and the frame is rusted out. I'm not going to fix it, but if someone wanted to buy me out of it, I'd happily sell it
Hey brother great videos love your style keep it up may not be your cup of tea but let's turn that thing into a truck I think that would be sweet take care keep the videos coming
That frame is worse than my 63 GP..LOL My frame rails behind the front wheels are just about as bad as this. I bought another frame from Frank's Pontiac Parts in Cali for it...but then bought another 63 GP. That car has good bones. The frame on that one is decent since it came from Idaho, but will change it out since the frame I bought is all done up. So if you need a frame...I have one from the Idaho car.
I had the same exact car in 1975 but it came to me free 39000 original miles on it ma sold it for 15 bucks after I was driving their sedan DEVILLE but it had 46000 when she sold it for 15 bucks I made her give me 30
That's the difference between not yet established channel and the established one. That car is fixible. Dylan mcool or budget buildz can makeit run and roadworthy. Oh man.
Anyone can if they want to throw enough money and a frame at it. I could restore it if I felt like it, but this car in particular isn't worth the effort. There's no point in making it drive when over 60 percent of the frame rails are missing between the wheels
Between you and Derek, I am learning a bunch, Thanks Jeff.
Great video, I'm a Pontiac fan too. I'd love to see more on that 65 GP!
It'll make an appearance again!
Wow! That is an excellent example of what can happen to anyone even when you are knowledgeable person. Great vid!
Always go with the Bonneville. Thanks for the vid.

I bet it looked slick after it was lowered! Stay tuned, I'll have a 63 Bonneville 4 door on here soon

Yup they don't really care for the RPMs! Great low end power though
Looks good, man. I hope you keep making videos. I'd like to see the 2 you got from me yesterday.
Thanks Ricky! Started a video on the hardtop yesterday. The sedan drives good!
Sweet. I sent you a friend request from my wife's fb. But I deleted her fb off my phone. Lol
I know it's rough, but I'd still like to see her get saved.
Awesome Jeff!
Thank you sir!!!
Make sure the battery cables are reversed. That's anti theft and if when they burn it down if you can't have it nobody can.
When I store my car for the winter I drain the gas and carb and pour a couple tablespoons of oil down each cylinder and bag the carb and tape a bag over the tailpipe. It's good for long-term storage also.
Looking good!
thank ya Mike!
Love this, keep er up Jeff!
Better have ya come up here again and we'll see how many we can get running in a day
Love This, Funny Stuff, my Friend And I drag a lot of cars home and have done a lot of this, Fun bringing car back from the Dead
It's really rewarding to hear an old engine run again!
Looks like someone is getting a new toolbox for Christmas!
Great job! Jack, RI, USA

Firing order is on the intake manifold..

I might rebuild the carb and hook up a fuel system. The previous owner told me he has the keys so maybe I'll be able to test the alternator now!
@@ChiefClassics Sweet! Looking forward to it, keys def make things easier. Nice score on the two crew cabs you posted on IG the other day!
Very cool 🤙 have a cammed 64 Catalina
Sweet! Those are pretty cars. Love the front end and tail lights
well it ran and moved the camera-and it def ran!!!
It was spunkier than I expected!!
Good luck with the channel.

Was the transmission in drive and it ran over your tool box? 😮
Thank you! And yes it was. The shifter indicator said park, but the linkage was disconnected on the transmission. I'll pay closer attention next time!
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍
Great to see a Knowledgeable home town Nebraska U Tube channel without and the stupid sayings. I unsubscribed from the other guy.
I appreciate it Scot! Looking forward to posting more videos of this old stuff
Great video! Too bad about that frame...
Thank you much! Yup it's a bummer. It's such a cool looking car
got any spare parts for a 1963?
That must be a rare Swiss cheese lightweight frame car! Lol.
If only I could get so lucky haha
Why would that be a parts car? It’s worth fixing
The poor thing doesn't have a straight body panel and the frame is rusted out. I'm not going to fix it, but if someone wanted to buy me out of it, I'd happily sell it
How much would u need for it and is the frame past patching?
Should tighten up the battery cables with a wrench so it would get better connection
Hey brother great videos love your style keep it up may not be your cup of tea but let's turn that thing into a truck I think that would be sweet take care keep the videos coming
When cars were 6 volt very very few of them were positive ground
Those plugs don’t care which hole you put them in.
Forgot to change the oil
I was with you till you said parts car. Goodbye
Why do you want to suck old gas up into the carb how do you know thay moter wasnt rebuilt
good work

First comment on the first video.
Had a feeling it would be you hahaha
From Thailand . No.167 follow yr channel.
Two spark plugs in the trunk and no keys are a good sign? Why the hell are those "good signs"?
*sarcasm*
