1964 Chevelle 4 Door with a Surprise Underneath! 

I used to love to drag race when I was a kid but these days I get more excited when I see an old inline-6 than a V8. It also warms my heart to see a cool old four-door.

"What you got in the trunk?" "Ohh, you don't want to look in there."

I had a 64 with the 230 motor and a three speed manual on the column. Drove it for 14.5 years with a motor rebuild and repaint in that span. Great driver and i loved the car.

The black one is so beautiful. I have many fond memories of our 64 Malibu wagon, back when it was brand new. The blue one is quite the "project" for sure...

Boy do those bring back memories! Just like my first car I bought in 1970. 4 door, 3 on the tree, 6 banger. Drove the living snot out of that little thing. I hope you fix it up.

I like it, I had a 63 Nova wagon for $50. back in 79 it was a Texas car. Red w/white top red interior no rust. Someone put a cheap floor shifter in it, spark-o-matic (K-mart). I put a Hurst shifter, red 65 GTO seats in it, I painted the rear side and back windows black put a small mattress in the back and went on a 3 month ride from Michigan to Florida I was 18. I got back and bought a 62 with a 9inch and glass front end traight axle with plans to put it on my wagon but I didn't have the ability back then. I still miss that car.

Way back in the early 70's I had a 1965 Malibu 2 door with a built 283 cu in V-8 and a turbo glide auto trans. We called it the Freeway Flyer, that car would run out to almost 70 in low and when it shifted into high gear that 'ol sleeper was GONE ! The factory speedo only went to 120 mph so I really don't know for sure how fast it was, but after the speedo was topped out we could still get another 1,500 rpm on the after market tach, maybe 145+ Good Times !

I had this car for just a little while in june-july 2020. It still had the 3 speed manual transmission in it and 7 inch rallies. The chrome on the pass side quarter was there and half of it on back door(broke). Still was missing on door. Awesome car for someone to play with.

I've always loved the 64 Chevelle. That was one of my favorite years in the 60's.

My mom had a black '65 Malibu with a 194 and 3 on the tree. That's what I learned to drive in .😊

My first car was a 68 biscayne ,6 cylinder, powerglide a neighbor bought a new car so he gave it to me didn't run but new points and as good as a 79000 mile car could get I loved that car

Back when I was in high school in the 70's a friend had a 66 (I think) Chevelle and he kept the original radio in it and mounted his cassette/radio under the driver's seat. Kept that original and also less likely to be stolen if someone didn't know where to look.

Very nice little project for you or someone else. It reminds me of my 65 Elcamino, which was also a 6cyl 4spd. Thanks for the video

Very cool as always, you did good with that one Good morning and great day to you all and I hope that you enjoy your weekend!

If it was gold in color..it would be giving Repo Man vibes 😃. Bad ass 64s you got! 👍 👍

Some nice pieces on the car - seats, battery, HEI and Muncie 4 spd. Some rust repair and some other work, would be a good driver for cheap.

Owned a 62 nova, 66 nova, a66 impala, a67 chevelle, and a 69 nova . Wish I had any one back great fun .

Wow - what a great car - the way it rusted is odd - but that’s how rust works - lol thanks for sharing and keep up the good work

Very cool, thanks for sharing. I had a 65 white four door 283 Powerglide. Bought it from the original owner in 1978 Drove it all over the east coast for eight years. I miss that car.

We had two of these in the family. Parents bought one like this dark blue 4 door as our family car with a straight six powerglide, and my older brother bought one new as well both 1964's but my brothers was bright red two door hardtop with a 283 powerglide. My brothers red two door got hit broadside on the passenger side by a Ford pickup and the car was totaled because the frame was bent so bad.

Thumbs up nonetheless,both cars are very worthy of keeping out of the junkyard or scrapped as both of these Chevy Chevelle's,very impressive and very nice to find such beautiful classic cars. Peace and Blessings to you all 👍🙏💯

That's beautiful. I always loved thee old Malibu's.

Man I’m jealous, can’t find decent 4 door cruisers in my area, good find. 😎👍🏻

Dog dish caps black tires. PERFECT! Due to the fact there are few or no options on that Chevelle its likely a base model 3 speed with 194ci inline six. I would love to own that one.

Sweet car. I got a 71 4 door nova. Sat 23 years I saved it from junk yard. Runs and drives now. Original driveline. 4 doors are making a come back

My first car was like the black 4 dr with the same blue interior. I bought it in 1969 from my Grandparents with only 12.000 miles on it. They bought it off the showroom floor. It was a 283 powerglide with a 4 barrel carb and dual exhaust and for some reason had a SS emblem on the trunk lid. It was sort of a freak because it ran so good. I really think it was a 327 instead of a 283.It was an awesome car being such a fast 4 dr..Detroit put together some, get more than you paid for, cars during this time period since this was the first year of the Chevelle and they put together what they had on hand that day of production. It never broke so I didn't do much research on it, no google at the time so I didn't do any number search but it was one fast 4 dr. that surprised a lot of muscle cars whatever it had under the hood. It had this little box under the dash called a service-a-cater (I think) under the dash that spit out these cardboard cards that told you it was time to take it to the dealer for an oil change or whatever. That had to be a rare option. I didn't pay much attention to it and when it ran out of cards I just unplugged it..

Yeah. Get the front seat out of it, and the 4 speed into the carlys black car. 6 cylinder with a Muncie, what an eye opener. Too cool. 👍🇦🇺

A friend of my mom had a black Chevelle just like that one. 6cyl, 3 speed column shift. She LOVED that car. It was wrecked after some moron pulled out in front of her. It was replaced by a 78 Nova that she hated the rest of her life.

It does need work. But should make a great quick flip for you. Thanks for sharing!💯👊👍

That's a whole lot of love to clean up that rust bucket. I see a full floor panels and a trunk replacement in his future

One of my siblings drove a 65 Chevelle 4 door 6cyl with a powerglide. It was either Willow Green or Artesian Turquoise

Your black four door reminds me of my dad's 64 Chevelle. It was a black four door also, but with a red interior just like my 62 Impala convertable, sharp looking color scheme. He special ordered it in the fall of 63, one of the first off the line, he upgraded the engine to a 250 rather than the 230, three on the tree. We had it for four years, but the Cleveland winters took it's toll, the doors rusted thru. He sold it to my uncle when he bought our 68 Belair wagon.

First car my parents had when i was born was a 65, maroon 4dr 6cyl automatic. The funny thing is how much it reminds me of my 65 Studebaker cruiser with the same chevy 6!

Get Josh in for a collab on the bodywork. Aside that, i love it ❤

glad im not the only one that buys cars that are battery challenged, every one!

Man...I had the same car in 88...283 3 on tree 4 dr

By the way I had a 4 door 64 Chevelle and I put an Alpine stereo in mine in 1981. Factory radios sucked back then so everyone put in better stuff. A good stereo was a prized possession back then, almost as important as having a car.

Diamond in the rough! 😎 Admittedly I like the 70-72 Chevelles/Malibus, but this one is really cool! I'd probably fix it up as is...not much needed. But everything is for sale at the right price.

Since the trim is missing on the right side, I'd take it off the left and fill in the holes. Pick a color and go with a smooth look.

Man I tell you N64 reminds me of my 64 I had back in the day it has a 283 rebuilt with what we call the slip and slide but it was fast with that little gear you can go up to almost 80 miles an hour before you shift to drive it was a two doors though blue one you really made that black one look sweet and if I recall you said it had the 283 in it also thanks brother it brings back memories and as far as that blue one if you can I restore it I'll tell you with that 283 and that Powerglide I was blowing away Corvettes in low gear great cars

I have this same car minus the four speed, mine is still the three speed. I put a hurst shifter on the floor because the linkage on the tree finally wore out. Mine is not a Malibu but a 300. I also took the trim off the side and filled in the holes. If I can find the trim I would let you have it very reasonable.

I think she is worth putting some effort into , with some welding and filling the side molding holes slap a coat of paint on it , throw a small block at it and BAM! a neat cruiser .

Nice ride ! Funny you opened the trunk the key you used is the same key my 1962 chevy II with 3 on the tree used gotta love them old chevys ❤

That'd make a heck of a sleeper!

That is pretty cool I'd leave 6 cylinder. With The Muncie 4 speed that would be fun to drive.

I had the same dark blue 4 door as you. Mine had a 6 cyl 3 speed and the floor was rusted out when I owned it in 1980-82. Good thing is the engine ran nice and could go 100 and gave me 22 MPG avg delivering pizza. For what I was doing I didn't want a V-8 I wanted a straight 6 for mileage.

i'd drive it, i liked the baling wire on the exhaust hanger!

Cool cars bud. Gotta love the old Chevelles!

If they was My two car's, I wouldn't waste a minute putting the four speed in the black beauty.... 🤔

My grandpa had a white 4 door automatic I passed my road test in it back in 76 no power steering didn’t matter I really liked that car !!

My second car was a 1964 Malibu convertible. 283 2 barrel carb with 3 on a tree. I served me and my wife well

You have to see the movie Repo Man that the plot line centers around this model car and the dead aliens in the trunk from Roswell NM The car turns out be a time machine. It is a cult classic .

Yes sir it could be and I would love to take it to my local car shows and start a book as a new project kinda thing.😊

I also have a black 64 4dr I acquired. I really was gonna use it for parts for my 64 ss. But with a engine swap, it would be a driver again.

My grandfather had one just like the with the white top.

Man what a find that shifter as came out of a 66.67 Chevelle id say the trans as came out of one of those great video as always keeper car ❤

I love the car. I'm 61 years old. This was my first car at the age of 14. I paid $500 for it. But it was a 2 door convertible with a 283 . Someone put a 4 speed tran in it.

Why and when did people start calling surface rust "Patina?"

Now throw a sweet 500+hp LS3 under that hoid. And you'll have a sweet sleeper ride?

I remember my uncle had a 2 door 64 Malibu back in the 70s, 80's that was perpetually in red primer.

That's a perfect daily driver car, just clean it up, fix the trunk and floors, do a rattle can rebuild on that Inline Six and throw a cheap tractor paint paint job on it, because you can mix Tractor paint and come really close to matching that light blue and and drive the wheels off that thing.

Miss my 64SS chevelle 283 p/g power drums p/s goldwood yellow w/black interior 2 owner me being 2cd thanks for sharing

Crew Cab Chevelle's ROCK!

Do not call that patina We all know what it really is I hope you're gonna paint the damn thing!!!!!! 😎

I like it. Hop up the motor a little. Fix the structuted - involved rust and bang around with it. Some 4 door styles look good. This is one of them. I look forward to more videos if you keep it. It may be a 194. Either way, with being relatively lightweight , no a.c. p.steering, less drag on the motor without the belts dragging off power. Even like.175 h.p out of that motor wiyh the 4 speed would feel good

I also had a 64 Chevelle. Factory 327 325hp with a factory Muncie 4 spd Midnight Blue Convert. Man I loved that car. Sold it; two days later is was totaled. So sad.

My first car was a 1965 Chevrolet 2-door, 6 banger, 3 on the tree. I always wonder if it was a Malibu or Chevelle until I found out there was a very base, stripped-down model called the Chevrolet 300. That makes sense because my aunt was a widow and office worker and would have purchased the least expensive model. I love the 3 on the tree. My friends in H.S. back in 1978 had never seen one. The car was from north Jersey so snow and salt and being parked outside did a job on it. Rear window leaked. Holes in the floor. But I was glad to have it. Put my Radio Shack 8-track player in the glovebox and Jensen speakers in rear window (both stolen by neighborhood kids eventually - still mad about it today.) Someone cut me off and crushed the front quarter panel and that was it. I guess its charm, to me, was the 3 on the tree and oddly the very plain styling (no styling).

My dad bought a '67 Biscayne back in the 70s, thinking his smokes were in the glove box, he found an ear, he freaked out and flung the ear on a sidewalk

I'd leave it exactly how it is but fix some of the rust and add a healthy little small block and make a stop light racer/ cruiser

I've always wondered why American auto manufactures didn't offer 4 speed with their sixes. I know Jag and Mercedes did and they were 4 on the tree too.

I like to have it to drive it around

Looks like the car from the movie classic "Repo Man" staring Emilio Estevan with out the Alliin's in the trunk.

Big block sleeper is what that car needs

Add four barrel intake, split exhaust manifold, torquey cam and you'll be good to go. Rear gears are most likely low because of the 6 banger.

Hey I’m 17 and looking for my first project I would really be interested in buying this!

Except for the motor the blue one looks like my Great Uncle's moonshine car.

Pure "Repo Man" vibe to it.

That’s a great car considering the garbage we have in Illinois.

They put 327 for barrels and 3-speed column shifters in some of those cars and believe it or not they were hot stuff they didn't look at but they were

Looks good 👍 👌 😋 😍

That Jensen is old enough to make it cool....I'd keep it

That looks like 64 car that the man use to work at master blasters bbq that was on 23rd and Rossville blvd about 25yrs ago

Definitely driven hard in the winter.

Great family car.That's it.

NICE

I want it…. I’d love to have it bro…

Those are huge plug wires! 8.5mm? We have a 1964 300 deluxe chevelle we are bringing back to life. It has the 230 straight 6.

Not bad for a survivor, I believe that it looks the part.

Tommy, I’d definitely be interested in it if you decide to sell it! I live about 40 mins north of you. Let me know!

Have a '76 Valiant V8 w/the OD A-833...they are cool sedans

Very dependable cars.

What happened to the 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa?

Very handsome Chevy. I'm not sure why people still scoff at four doors. I get they weren't every teenagers dream cars, and dont saturated the cover of every RACECAR magazine. I've always been a fan of engaging transportation, and this thing looks like fun.

"Patina"...another word for rust bucket!

Someone needs to save it and fix it up. Your Dark Blue one is nice

The seatbelts are right 👍

The first thing my buddy does to a classic is some gaudy stereo.

"Body by Fisher" emblem on seat belts

Contact original parts group. They sell all of the trim parts you'll need.

My brother bought me a 64 Chevelle SS for $100 in 1980 283 2 barrel yellow auto .
