I finally take my first car around town! 

It's weird the older we get the more we appreciate Air-con and quiet drive!😂

I’m happy for you Dave. If only all of us could get our first car back. You’re a lucky man. 👊🏻 Happy Birthday! 🎉🎈🎂🎊🎁

I hate to say it, but I hope you keep this mostly stock (save the brakes for safety). It's just too nice. Also, it's good to have at least one quiet and beautiful ride for fancy dinners and funerals and the like. Oh and your editing has gotten really strong (good use of cutaways to keep the continuity)!

Did you lose a bet mate? The beard does need to back. Caught me off guard at first, wasn't sure I was watching the right channel... nice cruiser to. Cheers 12v love the show.

Glad to see your first car back on the road with you behind the wheel! Can't wait to see more of this one!

Something special about your first car! I still have mine, a 1954 F-100 panel truck. I got it when I was 15 and I’m 42 now. I will never get rid of it!

The water hose donger never gets old!

64 Impala was my first car too Dave. Good to see it up and running again. On my 64 if you blew a taillight bulb the dash lights would go out so you knew.

I loved my 63 two door, 327 2 bbl.

Dave “I thought you said 55” son “no I said 85” that was awesome. Great car Dave never let it go again and pass it on to your son.

My dad had a white 64 327 4spd SS Impala with Cragars when he was stationed in Lubbock TX for the Air Force in the early 80s, sweet car

What a great story,Dave! Nice to see it back in the family. Belated Happy Birthday and yeah, get that beard back! lol

Hardly recognised you without the beard, stunning looking car.

Very cool! I had an anniversary gold 64 in high school in 78. Brings back memories .

In 1975 I bought a 64 Impala for $25 buck from a friend going in the Navy. This by far was and still is my favorite. Same 283 automatic with console on the floor and bucket seats. I have not found another that affordable but just bought a 68 Impala Custom Classic on the cheap. After a winter of body and engine work I'm painting in and will be my daily driver in less than a month. I'm happy for you man.

A Good friend had a white one with blue interior just like that in 1969. Had a lear jet 8 track, it was awesome. Learned all of Johnny Cash's songs riding and drinking beer.

That’s cool you got your first car back I’m happy for you. I’m a few years older and still have the car I bought when I was 16 a 72 super beetle. It wasn’t my first car, I paid $50 for a 68 beetle on my 13 birthday but never did anything with it. Then at 15 bought a 69 Catalina conv, but kept the 72 all these years. Even today with the Catalina being worth 10x what the super is I’d still keep my 72 beetle. By age 17 I had replaced almost every component on my super beetle myself apart from the transmission. So many memories with that car.

David, age is but a number, it's what you have in your head, and heart, that shows how old you are. I'd say you're 19!

Happy Birthday! That impala is soooo sweet. It's begging for power tour! While everyone else is sweating in the their tri-fives (hi DD Speedshop), you can sit there calm and collected with the AC blowing.

Great to see it worked out that the Impala found its way back to you. Keep it up!

Dave, Good for you. First cars mean a lot. And a 64 Impala…niiicce.

Heck yeah Newburn put that thing back to almost stock and drive it. That's a clean ride you get all the lights and the A/C working and enjoy it.

Cotten came and buffed it. What a good buddy

That is a awesome car!!

My 1st car was a 1966 Belvadere II 2 door hardtop with a 273/904. Cragers, Green, awesome interior. sold it in 1986 for $1,000 bucks. I want it back. Sold in Proctor Mn.

Love it! My dad bought the same car, same colors in 1979 for $1,000 ! He sold it before I was old enough for a drivers license. Have fun😎

The Impala looks good, Happy birthday.

Awesome Impala Dave! Way back before time began, my older cousin owned a 64 Impala SS with a 327, 4-speed manual transmission. It was a maroon color with the old-style Torque Thrust mag wheels. One of those, "I wish I would have kept it" cars.

That looks sweet with the Cragars. I love the '62 to '64 Sport Coupe body.

Awesome car Dave! great car for great car guy!!

That’s a badass car brings back memories of my dads car. He used to have a 1964 Impala SS was the original owner of the car. Bought it right off the show room floor. When we got older my brother got the car from my dad. And my dad said only on one condition you keep it in the family. My brother traded the car fir a stupid reason. But I am trying to find one that I could have to just cruise around like that as well. That’s awesome and keep up the awesome videos love the show

Beautiful car!! Glad you got it back. I've wanted to find my 1st 2 vehicles I bought when i was 15 & 16 yrs. old. They were a 67 C10 SWB Fleetside w/the small back glass & a 69 Camaro SS. I owned them back in the early 80's. The 2 worst mistakes I ever made were selling both of them!!

Great to see Cotton again...

Congrats 12 Volt Dave. My first car was in 1968 at 14 years old. A 1959 30hp VW Beetle, so I'm not blazing any trails tracking it down. LOL

Sweet car. My cousin had one with a 327 and a four speed. Cammed up, oxidized 'hey look at me' yellow and Cragars. I was 13 maybe and in total awe of it. Beautiful car, I hope you enjoy it!

Pretty sure dash lights and tail lights on on the same fuse. Car is super nice. Keeping it stock prevents the snowball of a project. Have fun on Power Tour.

Incredible history on this car, brother. I see this and just have a desire to work on our 62 impala. So truly happy for you, and happy birthday. The wife and I just got home a 71 mach 1 Mustang fastback bucket list car for me.

Cool Power Tour car. Nice headliner. Quiet. 😊😊😊😊

Happy belated Birthday. I used to shave my beard in the summer, but now I can't remember the last time I did🤔 Good looking car and a great driver

These are great cars. They accept almost any GM engine and trans combination, lots of interior room, nice roof line. Lots of aftermarket suspension parts. Cool build. I prefer the 409, but who knows? LOL

Yup, really weird without the beard, haha. That's one sweet cruiser, glad you found it!

It is great to get your very first car back. I can't. Mine was a '73 Mustang with a 351C in it. I hopped it up a bit and had 150 shot of laughing gas on it. My neighbor one night decided to borrow my car without asking and wrapped it around a tree after his beer run.

Dave you are the luckiest guy in the world what are the odds that you found it. No one has hacked it up Power, brakes, power, steering, and air conditioning Wow.

Dave looks like your going to court with the shave

So happy for you Buddy I understand the feeling of getting your very first car back. I traded my 57 for 64 impala convertible then traded a jeep for 57 back best day ever.

My Aunt had a 64 Impala coupe. Had a 283 and glide like yours in Honduras Maroon. Wish I had that one.

NICE 👍!!! If only I could find My old 64 Fairlane....or ANY old Fairlane Coup.

Dave, that's a sweet ride. I'm so glad you were able to track it down after all these years. Keep up the great content.

Such a classic

So awesome you found it

Awesome Story!

You know what after watching the entire video I think you should just keep it the way it is obviously with the exception of you know your brakes and you know some of the things that you said you need to have done but I think it's so rad that preserved and keeping it that way it's just awesome man super badass.

A nice ride , glad you got it back , wish I had my first ride

I don't mean to break your heart, David. But my parents bought me a 64 impala super sport. And it had a 409 awesome car. Here comes the heartbreak. They paid $400 for it was an excellent shape. Wish I still had it

Happy Birthday Dave, don't look a day over 16 🤣 Have a good one, the car looks great.

Looking Good. The car at least

12Volt Dave, great to see you aquire your first car! Make it great!

I had a 63 SS about 40 years ago . Sweet ride Dave !

Another good one 12Volt.

So cool to have your first car again and it's a really cool one at that.

Great story on how you found your first car again. If you want to see what my approximately $1,500 1964 two-door hardtop Impala looks like I can send you a link. I didn't get much but then only spent roughly the same Mount you did back in 98 and here it is two and a half decades later.

I’m so stoked for you happy birthday what a great present that thing is Bitchin. Can’t wait to see it on powered tour. Love y’all.

Lookin' good, Dave!

Awesomeness!!

my dad had a junkyard when i was a boy in the 70s and 80s.i had a 67 cougar 289 4bbl 3 speed in the floor when i was 12.i drove it in the neighborhood.

Nice car..keep it original...drive and enjoy it with your family...

Thanks for the Video....Congratulations on getting your car back, and in such excellent condition. I wish I could get back the 62 409 Impala I had. Sadly the 409 is long gone and now the car is a Low Rider... Different strokes for Different folks.....

Awesome story Dave! I see a new intake manifold and a 4barrel in this car’s future

Great content thanks for sharing

Beautiful car Dave, don't change a thing. 😎

Wot a great car love it

Congratulations on getting the first car back and driving!

Looking good 👍👍

My story is similar Newbern bought my 66 impala at 15yrs old for $500 bucks. Still have it to this day!!

That car will be perfect for cruise in the coast

Looks great Dave, look into retro sound for replacement unit, all the modern-day bells and whistles, Bluetooth etc, in a very retro,. Correct looking unit

Im 36 and am almost done building my 68c10, mild 454 air conditioning, stock interior, overdrive trans, 4 wheel disc brakes 20 inch sick wheels and static coil spring drop clean simple comfortable stylish thats what i want too :)

Awesome cruiser.

Love the car Dave, hope to see you on the Power Tour!

85. Your kid is a savage!

Awesome story and awesome car ! Congratulations David

Thats going to be a sweet Power Tour car!

I think you're looking pretty slick with the shaved face. More serious. I think I like it.

My dad still has his first car, 70 Elco SS396 4speed. He’s planning on getting rid of it at some point and I’m hoping to get it from him. He bought it in 74.

Reinstall a stock radio, then mount an aftermarket deck in the glovebox... I second the 200-4R swap. Should help make that 283 a gas sipper. Nice Impala, BTW, Dave. Oh, and HBD. Definitely regrow the beard.

Very nice car, you got really lucky stumbling on it again.

sweet car Dave. dont let it get away this time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! So good to see that you got your original ride back- you will never regret that!!! Enjoy the Chevy, & making new memories !!! Really enjoy your videos!!! Bob H., Flat Rock, N.C.

My first car was a 62 Impala, 283 w/PG. It was a 17 year old car when I got it. Totally gutless. But I gotta say I've never had a more cushy car in the decades since. You could sink into those seats better than any Barcalounger.

I'm happy for ya!

That stance is sweet!!

David, that is awesome to find and now drive the car that started your life long car affair. We are all better for it. On fixing the A/C, you would do better to rebuild it with an externally smaller compressor and current freon; replacing the R 12 in that Impala will be harder than new fenders for a Hudson Hornet. It can be had- at prices you will not believe. I think you may be able to re use your present evaporator if the system has always had pressure in it. If it has been open to oxygen and moisture you will need to replace it too. I've had three Impalas- beginning with a '62.I traded a '59 Buick Convertible for it. That is a great car for a Power Tour or a Drag and Drive as a cruiser trail vehicle. Thirty nine , you say? Sounds like Jack Benny's age!

I shaved my beard and look 20 years younger lol, my grandkids hate when I shave but the car is sweet as hell, keep up the good work!

I regretted selling my 64 SS Impala. Somehow it started life with a 327 2 barrel and when I got the car we found a Corvette manifold with AFB installed that with dual exhaust with glass-packs and she scooted pretty good. She was painted a kind of a candy apple blue a really dark blue. American Racing mags with tiger paws with red stripes. It originally was light metallic blue with the light blue interior with bucket seats

Dude!! Love the Impala!!

I know you do not want to mess with the whole coolness vibe the car has, BUT I am pretty sure that a 200-4R will bolt in place of the PG. 2 extra gears plus OD would make that car a long road trip killer.

Getting your first car back is a really special achevmenet. I can't tell you how many times I've dreamed of getting back my first vehicle. Good job 12v👍

Hey great to see her Back.... I think the beard needs to return too...;D.

Cool ride I wish I had one

No beard looks good on you. That car is awesome
