Those car freshners are made in my hometown, I ran a gas station right out of the industrial park, you could always smell who worked there. Its like bath and body.works times 100000%
Beautiful 66 396 back in 2000 I bought one just like it for 3K and it came with a 1969 Cadillac convertible. Found them both in South Central LA in a Back yard.
Tailights look to be off a Caprice.It's all there.Somebody will save it.We had a 6 cyl 1960 and 1966 Impala Sport Coupe in my family which my late Father bought new.The 60' never gave him a problem so he traded for a 66' shortly after I was born.The car was in the junkyard in late 1972.Quarters had started to rust and the 6 cyl had a problem with the engine which was classified as a cracked block .Coolant was getting into the motor and destroyed to the motor.Needless to say that was Dad's last Chevy. Replacement was a 1972 Mercury Comet which was kept with no problems until replaced by an 82' Mercury Cougar which had issues and became his last American car.A 1989 Camry lasted 16 years until I shamed him into a 2005 Accord and then a 2012 Accord which was bought after Mom left this world. Wishing you the best for 2021 Randy.Keep up the good work.
Randy talking about the smell of the Impala....reminded me of: "She had the smell of a brand-new car. That's just about the finest smell in the world...except maybe for..."
All cars from the 60's you had to jiggle the shifters in park because the safety neutral switches become slightly misaligned and don't make contact. It does it on both column and floor shifts in automatics.
Of all the videos you’ve produced and I love a lot of them. This one by far but the impala is the best video I’ve seen anywhere in a long time. Keep up the great work Randy and I appreciate all you do. Take care. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You know... I have been following several popular care rebuild channels and recently I found myself watching your channel more than the others, and the reasons are your videos are personable and relatable. Other channels have rebuilds that are awesome but way out there many times, but your rebuilds are more within the realm of the minor garage mechanics. Thanks.
I love the walk throughs and the purchase of a vehicle. I do not need reality TV shows when I can tune into a killer channel like this! TY my friend for bringing us along with you.
RANDY!!! "You wouldn't know, unless you knew?" That's rich - it's like deja vu all over again... I love that '66, it's a big block, air conditioned, Super Sport! The 325 horse engine isn't the most desirable, but it's still a real-deal 396! The 350 horse and legendary L78 375 horse engines are the ones to really have, but I wouldn't kick a 325 out of my garage. Looks like it still has its original valve covers and air filter assembly! The higher horse engines got a chrome air filter and valve covers.
the impala in canada, walled called the parisienne. canadian pontiacs, were chevrolets, with chevy drivetrains, built in oshawa, ont. note, canadian pontiacs, were sold all over the world, the catalina, was built in the u.s and never sold outside the u.s, with pontiac drivetrains.
When I was 18 years old back in 1979 I had a 1966 Chevrolet impala ss same blue color same white interior with a 350 motor 2 speed power glide sure do mess this car
My favorite car in this video was the Oldsmobile 88, 1992. A few videos ago it was the white Buick regal! I like GM , MonteCarlo, Cutlass supreme, Pontiac Grand Prix, 1975 to 2004.
My mom's Subaru does the same thing with it's windows it's an anti-pinch mechanism. I have to reset the rubber around the top of the door for it to stop doing the up and down dance.
Hey Randy as a huge fan you should buy a older chevy s10 and fix and build it. Tons of people love them and so do I. A priceless early 80's to 90's. There amazing trucks.
To be honest I really miss the oldsmobile brand, used to have a 95 olds 98 regency brougham elite, was my Dad's car, it had 383k on It and ran perfectly, I slid into a pole and bent the frame, Liked vid
Another great video, Randy. Would definitely put in a bid for the BMW Mini - 4 tires and one of your interesting Maaco paint jobs would make easy content. The Chevy is beautiful but you'd end up with it sitting around Mike's place while you waited for him to finish the Coronet. Could be expensive.
Told you the tan 4 door had no resale value. This one looked like the one I redid in the early 2000;s Mine was a 327 small block, cammed up, bored and stroked to a383, Muncie close ratio 4 sp.Still miss her. My first car was Dads 66 Imp.
Listening to randy talk about buying and selling made me think about my grandpa when he had owned car lots he always said a fast nickel is better than a long dime
Bill Engvall is the one with "Here's Your Sign". Your giving credit to Jeff Foxworthy would have resulted in a second sign: "Jeff Foxworthy??? - Here's Your Sign". On the Mini Cooper: You mentioned that "it smelled like a flood" inside. The random scratches on the outside may have been the result of the car being in an actual flood (flash flood, for example). This might account for the sliced tires as well. Perhaps the owner tried to salvage it but gave up when the cost (and the odor) got to be too great. Love the '66.
I agree on those Q60 Infinitis - first car that made me question my purchase back when I got a 3rd gen IS350 F Sport, they’re beautiful cars. Also I think the boxes on the intake are charge air coolers.
Randy I had the twin to that 66 Impla SS same color same interior it was one of my first cars, loved it but one night wrapped it around a steel beam for the overhead trains
Love the Impala Randy but unless you plan on fully restoring it then selling 9 thousand plus fees probably wouldn't leave room for much profit, unless Weird Beard is looking for another project :)
That 2 door 66 Impala 396 SS, is a sweet car! I'd have to see under it first, and if the floorboards, trunk floor, and frame are in good condition then it's for sure a $20k car. but if it needs new floor pans and stuff put in it then, of course, the price will drop.
its a lifter tap... its probably a quart and a half low on oil......Also when starting a BB Chevy you usually have to pump the throttle 3 or 4 times....i Had a #s matching 70 SS 396 chevelle..
I agree, Randy - the SS isn't up your street. Yes, you could get it and yes, you could make it a sweet ride with not a lot of effort.....but the money is all in the details and then (if you're like me) you'd wonder where to stop - is this careworn door skin good enough or should I replace it? ....but you know replacing one means replacing all so they match and before you know it, you're in the cactus for $25-30k I dunno what they are worth in pristine condition over there, but in New Zealand, they are advertised for big dollars (Impala SS around the $70k mark, with that era Camaro advertised between $80k and $170k)....and some do not move for months. People just don't have the spare cash to shell out all at once for an absolute pearler. That 66 SS is perfect for being a rolling restoration - something to use while you complete the work yourself over time. She's a beaut and was worth looking at - I'll definitely give you that - but as a money maker, the cash could be tied up in it for longer than you expect....and that's no good for business. I reckon it's safest you stick to the plan you started with for your channel / business unless a) it was going to go cheap or b) you were going to do it up yourself and keep it as your own Sunday cruiser. Love that car, but she's a bid-to-own beast, because you'll fall in love with it the more perfect she gets, I reckon.
If you had the money you could grab the impala and have it clear coated. We both know that's a lifter tapping so that would be an easy fix with some adjustments. Really good looking car though
i have a 1966 impala but it is a 4 door body is ruff but engin is rebuilt runs great. I only want 1500 dollars for it because the tie rods are bad. Wheels to much woble im in a wheelchair and i can't work on cars anymore thanks for your video on that impala
On the infinity: bend it back and reinforce it. Edit: FYI if the batteries are low on these foreign cars and some domestics everything electronic will be a problem until the voltage comes up. On the flood cars go to Amazon and buy cans of Ozone called Odor Bomb. Works great.
The Chevy impala ss is beautiful I owned one but different motor great cars to be honest I have no idea what one in that condition would go for now days let us know what it goes for 👍🏻
I would go for that 66 all day long those are nice cars repaint that thing blue it'd be a really sharp car but I enjoyed the video thank you have a good day buddy
Hemmings has a couple of '66 Impala SS with 396, average listing price on both is about $35000 in nice shape, one is an extreme low mile, three owner, garaged its whole life in Seattle, well preserved original car. This one might be in the $30K plus range made right. Making it right won't be cheap.
my parents got a 67 ss bb and i loved that car but it started having problems because they never took care of it and they scraped it i was so hart broken when they did it it still had a good paint job when it went to scrap it was the lighter blue
Wow that 88. My moms 94 has been sitting in her garage for 3 years. Only 76000 miles on it. One of these days I got to get it out and run it. Hate seeing it sit.
The f150 since it's been there awhile may be a good buy if you can get it reasonable enough. The 2013 is pre- aluminum body. They also have a super charger bolt on kit. I would check the vin to see also if it has the recall on the transmission.
I think my dad had that same car. He had a 65 SS 396 4 speed black with the hub caps off. He street race in the car never lost a race. My mother made him get rid of it before he kill himself in it. They said I rode in it when I was 2months old. I hate it to this day that car is gone and not mine's.
that F150 said FX4 which is 4x4 with crappy skid plates and AT tires from the factory. The second clue is at 12:21 there is clearly a knob it says 2H, 4H and 4L. That's a 4x4 truck. It even has the electronic locking rear differential.
I noticed last video you were looking at that black 300c , I have a white 06 300c 136000 miles runs great clean tittle and 2 owner have owned sence 21000 miles runs great but had the stalling issues that most have will sell for 3000
