Saved from the salvage yard! 1964 Chevy Impala! Off the road for 28 years! Will it run?!? 

We all want to see a Mortske t-shirt with “Still looking for a battery sponsor” on it.

I came home from the Children’s Home when I was adopted, in a 1964 Impala very similar to this one. I’m 57 years old now. I still get a little misty eyed when I see one!

As a Locksmith for the last 51 years, I can assure you, back in the day, GM stamped the key code # on the door lock cylinder case, Trunk lock cylinder case & the glove box cylinder case. IF you bring the 4 digit key code # to any Locksmith, they can cut you a set of the original keys; back then, the key code numbers began with the 8000 # series. MOST of the GM models back then had a removable clip on the side of the door, above the lock assembly, which held the lock cylinder in the door. Remove the clip & the cylinder will come out, revealing the key code #. Keep in mind back then, 1 key worked ALL the locks. BTW, the Ignition lock "ring" will NOT come off until the lock cylinder is removed. Hope this helps.

1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-Door Sedan in Daytona Blue. Options include 283 V-8 with 195 horsepower, Powerglide ($199), Full wheel covers ($18), Driver seat belt ($10), Front grill guard ($19), Rear bumper guard ($10), Push-button radio ($57), Tinted glass on windshield ($22).

For a car that sat for nearly 3 decades, she looks and sounds great. Two more thumbs up for bringing one more American classic back to life.

Grandma had good taste. I like her car give it a wash and put the hub caps back on it and I think Grandma is ready for bingo again. I think Grandma was a Hot Rodder. You know the chrome gives Grandma 6 or 7 more horse power. I like his and Duff's videos. Keep em coming..

Hey Mortske, it's a year later, and funny thing! You have 100k subscribers! 😜😂🤣 Have I missed the video where you have a taste of the Certs from this 1964 Impala? Love your work, glad I've found the channel. They probably won't kill you🤘😎🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺

Nice find! She will make somebody a great restoration project. It’s good to see these old cars still being saved. 👍👍

Good morning Mortskie and duff!!! I love the 64 impala. Awesome car & Awesome content always 👌.

I don't know how you only have 30k subscribers. This content is MUCH better than some of the others out there! Love watching you get these oldies back running again.

Watching your videos imparts on me a level of confidence to try and get my truck working again. I know jack squat about automotives but after dozens of videos of yours and others like yours I’m starting to grasp where to begin and things of that nature. Keep up the good work.

Love your videos going through a rough patch in my life and you and Duff make me smile and give me a lift…so thank you

Man what happened to that old Ford/Chevy RV body swap, I’d love to see more of it

I only come here to see Duff Dog doing his thing.

Man l love the shop manager, duff is the man, I love watching him as much as you,love the Duff old car rides,keep it up Brother

Love these old Impalas. Nice that you saved another! And work in comfort. I like working inside a shop especially if the weather is icky. Less mosquitos.

I love the "Will She Run?"' episodes. I would suggest doing both. If it's ugly weather and poor conditions, trailer them home. Nice day and a good location for Duff to run around, try to drive it home. I for one would be happy with both and/or either.

Another sweet find Mortske, and you are right about old Chevys they just wanna run. Love ya Duff just waiting for your Daddy to open the that door so you can give it the sniff over 👍 When I have the time your my go to channel brother. Entertaining and educational

Another classic brought back to life!! Good job!

Great video on that 4door Impala ,glad you got Duff the wonder dog to help you. Please don't stop saving these great classics.

Front and rear bumper guards were optional. some Impalas had two per side on the rear bumper, the gas door guard was also an option. many of these parts were dealer add ons like the door edge guards and window vent shades.Thanks for saving another classic from the scrap yard!

Good save, Love old impalas!

It’s fun to see where they come from.. love seeing people try to get them home after.

Definitely work in your shop. I've rolled on around on concrete and asphalt for most of my shade tree career, but now have an indoor facility. Much better.

I would love to see a wash and buff video on this one. I would love to see how much of that paint comes back. That's a beautiful color.

I'm so happy that you sold that 60, no more temptation!

Mortske, the small block fired right up. Great job. I agree, tee shirts with “Still looking for a battery sponsor “. Great idea from another fan. I can’t believe how much Duff contributes to the show. He’s a great helper. Great video sir. As always. Big Al.

I like that you work on them in the garage. I guess I would also have to say... I like it when you work on them out in the brush. But I guess if it was me? It would just depend on the weather and what mood I’m in. Awesome job putting another Chevy back on the road 👍🏻

Not ‘on sale’, but they’re ‘for sale’ at yer ocean-front property! Most humorous & optimistic video yet

Sweet! That thing is pretty complete. I'd daily that. "Darts" Nice ColdWarMotors reference.

I like the shop makes you stand out and let’s be honest I would be were the heat and beer are I feel like you are a kindred spirit so glad I found your channel I also love the long format keeps me going thank you from a young retired /truck driver/ stay at home dad your videos have kept me sane !

Thanks man for the tag! Much appreciated!

I’m just fine with you in the shop- an occasional “in the weeds” for variety but I enjoy watching your method and the humor no matter where. Better for you to be quasi comfortable.

Iowa classic cars, everyone should check him out, would love to see a collaboration. I hope someone buys the old Chevy and restores it. Great video.

As soon as you mentioned that socket set I went and bought one! Thanks Mortske!

Pretty cool '64, very straight with minimal rust, bumpers and chrome trim are even straight! This one would be a good resto car. Duff Dog rocks as always!

Bring them into the shop. Make it easy on yourself!!

"Duff likes the inside". The cushions are on the inside. Duff has priorities. 😁

Pretty nice for a four door ! Duff seemed to like it, too. Those revivals in the field are always fun. Sometimes a guy needs heat, and tools, and beverages though ! I like both kinds.

Working in the shop is always good. I know how much fun being in the mud and snow can be.

Freakin love it. And it's a FOOR DOOR. OH YEAH. If that beautiful thing was mine I'd put period correct WHITEWALLS on it and stock caps. Or maybe Dog Dishes.and leave it like that. It's got so much character . Glad you saved it.

The shit coming out of the exhaust is amazing!!!

Cool old 64 Impala , it's worth saving for sure . Great video

That would be an awesome ride! And looks like duff gives his seal of approval

Great video you should pressure wash it and do the interior 64 is a classic my first car was a 65 impala.

My wife’s grandma gave me her 63 Belaire when we got married and it was just like that one with no trim and a radio. And as a added bonus she was a school teacher for 50 years or so.

That would make a nice project car for the right person. It's basically all there. Nice job!

Never disappointed watching your vids... another great rescue!

I like Impalas almost as much as Duff!

Working at the shop is always better. Just in case you get really hungry 🤤

Fantastic! My father in law has a 63 Impala SS with a 327....he bought it used in 65...it is still all original and CHERRY! 2 door hardtop 2 tone blue and white. He put Good Year tires on it in 65 and they are still under the mileage and still under warranty! It will be mine one day also!

Currently binge watching your channel. In my opinion your content is up there with vice grip garage and ol peg leg ziptie. Keep it up brother! I enjoy watching you and duff

Heat, lectricsisity, and sammiches are waaaay more gooder than getting it started in the weeds. At least when it’s cold out....IMO.

Here's another book for you to read 😂😂 She's a good rig for a purist's restoration and even looks like the glass is all intact. Ol' Grandma liked her stock(ings) and she seems to have survived ok except for where heat and time has got to the interior along with where Mickey and his mates got comfy. That's ok - Grandma got her own back and blew 'em out the exhaust with a pile of "How Dare You" carbon. She sounds real good and goes ok too - even manages a sedate donut or two, so she's a good base for a restore. I aint no purist, but it would be a shame to potentially bugger it up for someone who is coz they aint making the '64 Impala any more (for some reason). Give her a clean so you can see what she's hiding under her skirts (a before and after video is fine by me, although seeing some of that moss fly off would be cool....and no, I never peeked up my Grandma's skirt!) and I reckon you have a think as to how deep you wanna go into this. You saved her and made sure she runs and drives under her own power(glide). That's good enough to move her on unless you want to make sure the next guy can step in and drive her from the get-go while she's being done up. You could do the minimum to set her up as a driver - set her up so she can start and such from the inside, give her some decent brakes, oil changes, spark system maintenance, fuel tank, bushes, tyres, pull the crap hood lining down, give her a vacuum out....etc. and either use her as is yourself or flick her on as a running restoration.....and you should be able to recover what you put into it. The cash going into this section starts to eat into profits and the car won't necessarily be put the way a potential buyer wants it, whereas if the bodywork, exhaust, wheels (not tyres) and interior are left as is, someone else will see the potential and want it more. Going any further (like some gooder seats or upholstery work on the originals, the door panels and the hood lining, give her headers and twin pipes so she can breathe, then the part you really love - bodywork - and then a good coat of the original colour, maybe some period mags, although I quite like the effect of them hubcaps with the slight whitewall like on the RF corner) would make the car a real going-to-town rig, but it's way more cash and not something that really needs doing.....except maybe for the headers and twins......in order for you to be happy with it, so I reckon leave 'em to the next guy. I'm torn between suggesting moving her on or getting her up to a driver. Me? If I liked it when I took it for a run after getting it going the first time, would probably 'do the minimum', stick a blanket on the front seat and daily it for a while until I felt different. I prefer old cars to old trucks, so I'd love to see more of this beast, but if you want to move her on now and carry on with getting the others moving, that's cool too.

Great content as usual, always enjoy the revivals, all the best going forwards for the channel

great channel. I can tell Duff and you are a great team. Love it.

Definitely Dark Blue. I don't think it would have come with a light Blue interior if the body was Black. Most likely Two Tone Blue..

Mine was the SS 327 covetable. White ex. Red interior Miss that car. History two door.

I just Love your since-of-humor, always can't wait for Monday's to come around.Keep-up the good work[videos] you do my friend.....LATER ON ....

It's your channel---do WHAT YOU want! Informative either way! I'll keep watching.

“Can’t smell nothing” then 2020 started

My favorite smell is burned atf from a cooked transmission. Reminds me of grandmas peach cobbler

My 64 came out of barn storage yesterday. Same but a 230. Had to replace pretty much everything 6 years ago when I first got it-brakes,brake lines and hoses,fuel tank and line,rad, front floor pans and some body work. But it's all available for reasonable money.

Love this channel just found it and gotta say it's awsomener! I have a 63 2 door it has a 283 2bbl it's a non ss car needs interior work still but it's a runner!

Remember that time you spent more time on that one wheel cylinder then you did on actually starting a car that hadn't been run in 28 years?

I don't know man old gas tickles the nose pretty hard but so does that damn 80-90.

I don’t care what you do , how you do it , or where you do it . I just enjoy sitting around and watching your videos .

Subscribed! I love the impala, I just recently inherited my great grandfather's '64 Bel Air four door sedan. It's been sitting in garage since '83 and I'm reviving it very soon. It would be really sweet if you put on some nice wheels, gave it a pressure wash and installed a new fuel tank. Would be a nice goin' to town rig, these four doors need love too!

Just bring the cars in the shop, no sense in suffering needlessly.

Too bad Grandma parked it before she could put the Hydros and daytons on it!

My first road car was a '63 Pontiac Laurentian. It had the same size trunk. No worries about where the cooler was going.

Great vid as ever Mortske.... thanks for the knowledge along the way. I live in England, and if there were any cars sitting around for 28 years, they would just be a pile of rust around a locked up engine (sorry.... motor !!!!), You are lucky to have the different climate to be able to bring these back to life. Be interesting to see if you can bring some older japanese or european stuff back to life.......

Out in the field or in the shop both are good shows to me mortske keepem comein my friend

I like first start in the shop just because the audio is so much better.

The 64 is awesome. 4 doors deserve love too. Mine sat for 35 years before I bought it and like yours, it ran and drove with minimal effort. Yours is in really good shape. Your bumper guards, gas door guard, door edge guards, window vent guards are all valuable accessories, not all that common. Certs! with Retsyn!

I've got a 4 pc set of those from a different manufacturer and love the magnet, wobble. Those pullers have replaced all my old ones.

Mort, you still have your first car 😳 Dang, dude. Oh yeah, it’s on now. You GOTTA show us that one and get it going for us‼️ Man, I wish I still had my first car - a 1962 Studebaker Hawk GT. Sadly, it got wrecked. 😱 (young &stoopid) Man, I can always tell it’s going to be a good vehicle when the ol Duff Meister gets excited right away! You gots yourself a GREAT companion there. 🐶

Good Job Mortske! You never let us down. 😁 Duff was sure exited about this one...lol! 👍

Yes those plug sockets are a life changing tool.

Loved those old chevys. Engines were a breeze to rebuild. 327 was my favorite.

I like you bringing cars and trucks to your shop to get them going so you can have all your tools and starters and parts and sandwiches too

I knew you watched the Red Green Show! Every time I see your videos I get vibes of it.

Fun to watch my Everyday car from 86 to 93 was a 64 2DHT Impala that I fixed, painted, and redid the interior, 350HP 350/THM400, and Thrush side pipes and Crager SST (still my favorite mags, too bad nobody makes anything like them anymore) loved that car, only retired it when a quick stop made me realize how bad old car brakes are compared to newer ones. I parked it inside in 93 and it's still sitting there waiting for "One Day" which will never come as I age. SO I spend my time living through RU-vidrs. The trim on the gas door is not standard, it's aftermarket or extra accessory as are the bumper pieces but those are factory extras I am pretty sure. MY car is in ND too as am I. I got many a speeding ticket in Carrington driving back and forth to college.

Yup to the wash videos. Always nice to see how the old girls clean. Plus it can bring in more money when ya sell em.

Duff! That pup is fun to see. I vote for in the shop work unless it is good weather :-)

Nice job Mortske..... Are used to have a 1963 impala two door hardtop super sport

I'd love to find some of those junk/salvage yards where some of these neat old cars come from. The ones I know of have been picked through long ago.

Damn! Tapico Pudding and no Puddin shout out! Buy sight unseen and you get quality stuff like the loadstar i just picked up! Videos up! Your wagon is the raddest!

The best videos are yours. Waiting for a "will it run? Of course it's mortske" tee. (bypass a few things and we're good) because I think that's the answer to it all. Another great video.

Nice, had the 64 Biscayne in the early 70s as a teenager. Pretty much the same as impala, Great car, 3 on the tree, huge back seat!

Duff is the only reason I watch your channel, LOL He's a good dog!

Your a hoot brother, we love your videos, we can't stop laughing, you make it special, my wife loves you, and wen you talk to the dog, classic. Thx

Another satisfying video my day is complete now thanks man

beauty car.. and beautiful color.. my favorite LOL both upper and lower flexy hoses...

One of Thee best- 1st time - Long Sitters, I've heard start up on the Tube in Quite a while. Should make a Good *hobby starter* for someone with that Nice 283. Find It a Good Home Mort. Thank You

New to your channel love it I'm a dog guy and a car guy right up my alley love your humor 👌

Cool car👍🏻 Even cooler bronco I spotted in the background towards the end of the video

For a very short time, I had a 64 Belair. About the same color in and out. It was almost flawless. It had been resprayed but the interior was all original and perfect. I bought it from a friend for $500. It had a 400 sbc that someone had put in at some time. It had chrome wheels with chrome baby moons. The engine needed a full rebuild and the trans was shot so I sold it for $800 to put into my 78 Z28.

Yes!!! Morning Duffske!!!

Another great video by Duff, he really stole the show on this one. You did good too though, don't start feeling sorry for yourself. :-) I am a Ford guy, but you are starting to win me over to these Chevy's, they really do just want to run.
