The neighbors say they really enjoy looking at it sitting next to the school bus. Said they're going to call the county on me, I'm guessing for some kind of award.

Angus is freaking hilarious. Together with Kevin is gold. Kevin+Angus+Dalton is almost like a comedy routine not a car show.

The car in Paris Tx. Is a 1975 Bricklin. I've had it five years. Work in progress

This was very impressive.

The fact that that engine made it all the way to Daltons, survived several minutes of redline, nearly seized, re-started, then went another minute before fully seizing, is amazing.

I swear, Kevin was DYING for most of this vid. I think he reaaalllyyy liked the fact that someone else was suffering as much as he usually does!

The Impala EARNED the small block. It literally FOUGHT for it's LIFE to get you somewhere, even though it was dead sick. So looking forward to see it soldier on in the future with V8 power and overall roadworthy again! 😍

That little 3.8 deserves a posthumous medal of honor. It was critically wounded, but soldiered on for hundreds of miles.

Please do a teardown episode on that engine. I think we'd all like to see the carnage!

Angus is truly the character that just collects loot He earned his coveralls from rescuing the slick side He earned the matching jacket from the barn of cars and loose tools Now he has earned bear blanket from this adventure

The catch can "fix" was honestly pretty genius... All that was missing was some way to have the oil recurculate back into the engine without needing to stop (maybe even by repurposing the windshield washer motor as an oil injection device, similar to what Deboss garage did in a fairly recent video where he drove a duramax Chevy with a blown head gasket from Texas up to the border). Rigging up something like that probably would have doubled the range between oil refills, which to be fair probably wouldn`t have made much of a difference

I have never in my life felt so sorry for a car. How that little sucker held together long enough to even get to Dalton's amazes me. On the other hand, i have never laughed so hard over a video in my life. Well done Sirs and I can't wait to see what's next for the little Impala that could.

The exhaust leak and oil fumes mustve been getting to me, too. Laughing my head off at these un-bear-able jokes.

Definitely need a teardown video of that engine. Them 3.8’s are strong little engines when firing on all 6.

That 3.8 was an absolute unit with angus behind the wheel screaming down hills at 70+

The fact that this episode isn’t called “The unBEARable trip home” is a real shame! 😂

That black Jeep though 👀

I don't know what I want more, a teardown of that 3800, or a teardown of the 351 out of the wagon. Regardless, this was a JYD classic.

Awesome episode. The banter between Kevin & Angus is a joy. The uphill sections reminded me of Duel. All that was missing is Angus shouting, "you can't beat me on the grade".

Random Stranger - "I like your car ! " Angus - "I know she wasn't talking to me !" Lolol 🤣

this is a classic testament to the saying "a chevy will run like shit longer than most cars will run good" and im all for it.

Thanks for promoting pole barn garage. Really enjoying that channel and the humour.

The Chevrolet Impala - always gets you home. She had SPIRIT, and she did it!

That thing was majestic when it finally pulled into his driveway "bearly"

That engine turned into an oil refinery! You just put crude oil in it and it leaks different types of oils. I don't know how it still ran for that long. Great videos keep it up!

I hope Daltons channel blows up as big as JYD's. He's a good dude.

My mother had a Caprice Classic like that. Hers had the burgundy velour seats, carpet and headliner. The padded dash and plastic wood grain was classy. I really loved the bench seats with the low headrests. Very comfortable.

Any episode with Angus is a plus to an already awesome channel. The guy is just fantastic. Keep him around Kev!

this may genuinely be the single funniest video you’ve posted in the history of this channel, and I’ve watched them all, probably twice!

This has been one of my favorite episodes. The catch can is genius. And the Impala is parked in the perfect place...next to the JAAAAAGGG.

I’m very impressed with how well that engine endured , that helps give me much faith to be a mechanic

Been waiting part 2 of this trip for what it felt like a eternity! worth the wait ❤

@41:35, I've NEVER seen recycled blow by oil being used...EVER...nice!!! Guys should get an award for that idea. Novel.

6:39 finding a Briklin SV1 is rare. Finding one in *that* kind of shape, and not taking film of it, is a personal affront to my love of automobiles. These cars are well known for only being found halfway rotted into the ground and completely undriveable. Whoever owns that one had taken outstanding care of it.

They always run the best right before they let go. What a freaking epic episode!

Kevin is a comedic catalyst. Maybe the best straight man on the tube. He refuses to quit, and brings out the comedian in everyone around him. When the smoke clears, you realize he has taught you something new about getting home in a car that can't possibly make it! His collabs are always hilarious, regardless of who he's hanging out with. Kevin is a truly generous, joyous soul.

Got to be the funniest episode I have seen yet, angus is hilarious. 😂😂😂😂

The smoking dipstick nearly had me choke on dinner, well done! Such a fun and funny episode with you two clowning around!

This is Roadkill revived : ) Laughed my ass off. You guys were great. Cannot believe how much blow by that engine had. A worthy send off!

The more I see Angus, the more I wanna see Angus. Dude is such a good guy and is funny as fuck! I In Arkansas, you could tell that he was buzzed from the carbon monoxide and slap happy from the lack of sleep. He's a trooper, though! Great video as usual, Kev!

Angus kind of reminds me of Planes Trains and automobiles driving that impala with every warm thing he owned on. 😂❤

a SERIOUS testament to how tough those old engines were

I was watching PBG the night that they showed up with this rig. I was hoping to see the story behind it and finally did. That wasn't a road trip, that was a nightmarish odyssey right out of Dant'e Inferno. Great job, lads!

Recycling oil out of the PCV is... Ingenious. Great video, this was a lot of fun

Angus is a real blessing to this Channel! Thank you Angus greetings all the way from the Netherlands!

Best episode ever. Angus is my favorite. He is "beary funny". Keep up the good work guys!

The most Emmy worthy episode yet 🏆

How the hell can you drive a car like that without getting pulled over... If I tried to drive that 2 miles in any direction in my town I would be busted for sure 😆

1 of your best videos yet. That was entertaining. I used to drive a taxi in Atlanta and I had an 87 4.3V6 that used to charge it’t own oil every 12 hours. Smoked just like that every night. It lasted 6 months before it dropped a valve. 367k Atlanta taxi miles.12 hours of BS 6 days a week. About 250 miles per night.

What a gorgeous, handsome car. I grew up with these (and Caprice Classics) EVERYWHERE! So I have a soft spot for this specific gen of Impala.

“Nice to see you I guess.” This is better than any Roadkill I’ve ever watched. “You beat 20! High score.” 😂

15:34 "I know she wasn't talking to me." LMAO one of the funniest angus one liners we've had on the channel.

Man I always love happy endings so happy the car made it to its destination without a single issue and still running like a Swiss watch. 👍🏻 57:36

What a story! That catch can idea was genius and really saved the day!!!

lol. Back in the late 90's, I drove an 1982 Impala for a taxi cab. It was the 305 with a Q-jet variety. This was easily one of the best cars I've ever owned! It had easily, 500,000 miles, and still going when I gave it to my brother. After many more miles he managed to kill the transmission (700R4?) and it went to the grave yard. Status: Legendary

I reckon those stickers really do give a car immortality. This is the greatest product advertising ever

Great Video and I can’t wait to see what you have in planned for 2024! It’s so cool to see how far you’ve come from working on stuff in your dads garage with you brother, to having you own shop and so many dedicated sponsors. It’s so awesome to have been able to see your whole journey on RU-vid.

Dude, i love pbg and how he's just cool with you guys pulling up to hang out. Exactly how i'd be with my buddies. Ya'll got a good dynamic with eachother.

I learned to drive in a 1977 Impala, my 1st car was a 1976 Cutlass S. This takes me back.

That road side oil catch can was a brilliant idea! And you saved $1000's in new oil And you kept it off the road where a unsuspecting motorcyclist could hit the oil slick but he won't be able to get your license number because of the smoke screen Well done 007

Ive been waiting for this one! You have to do more road trips with Angus! You two together is freaking hilarious!

Honestly one of your best videos. Angus is hilarious. Plus it was great to see a car that was basically on life support. Definitely goves off old school Roadkill vibes.

This has to have been one of the best videos you and Angus have put together! I have laughed more in the last hour than I have in months! Thank you guys! It almost makes me want to take a road trip like this-although I don’t have a competent co-pilot to keep the car moving or swap an engine if needed!

Angus is hilarious. It’s always a highlight when he guest-stars.

I have been praying the entire time we would get to see it get hammered to the point where the engine turned into one solid piece of metal!!!!!!!! Great job guys!!!!!

Kevin's hysterical laughing through this video was matched by own 😂 I love when Angus is around! I roadtripped a 78 El Camino with the 3.8 one time with a crack in the block and it got kept home miraculously. You guys are legends. Thank you as always for the awesome content and inspiration 🤘🤘🤘

I seriously do NOT know what to say. This was a great show, guys -- and that you ended up at DALTON'S was the topping on the cake. I can't wait to see what happens next with this poor Impala. What a beast.

this video was actually exciting to see if it would make it. That was great! The restart at the end was "chef's kiss"

Great job guys looking great and looin bforward to further video episodes!

What an awesome journey pain ridden journey to watch. That little 6 cylinder gave everything it had, gave its life to get them home. Pushed it as far as it can go. Somehow that engine was getting worse oil per gallon than miles per gallon and held on. 😆

Now I haven’t even driven since my comas began, hence the brain tumor in 91 . But Kevin, your zany adventures and resurrections of these cars I grew up with are AWESOME ! I can’t do anything like this anymore, but watching you is a great way to remember that enjoyment of discovery and rejuvenating !!! Keep the thrill going 👍

I love these type of videos. Cheers from the UK. I lost it at the bear coat 😂 can't believe that engine lasted the whole way. It wanted a final ride.

Funny how this video gets recommended. I go to my friend's house the other day and he shows me yet another Impala he found on Marketplace. This video is literally every year with his impulse to buy an old Chevy and he has to keep his mom from trying to buy it. She does that hilarious "I ask detailed questions about it and keep looking at it over and over, how much did you pay for it?" interest in old Chevys he buys because she used to drive burnt orange box Chevys back in the day. He told me tons of stories about how his mom back in her fresh from being divorced had all kinds of guys throwing themselves at her and her infamous burnt orange cars

My face is hurting so bad from laughing with/at you guys! LOVE the road draft recovery system .... brilliant! Hilarious video/lots of fun! A+++++

This was one of the best and funniest Junkyard Digs videos yet! Thanks, Kevin, Angus, and Dalton! Keep on diggin'!

Classic Roadkill style but way funnier. You boys had me in tears and I've been waiting for this vid since I saw you pull up in @PoleBarnGarage vid. Wonderful stuff and grats on 1,000,000 subs!!

This was probably the funniest of all your videos, so far. Excellent work.

I didnt know how desperately i want more of these videos up until now, these kind of roadkill videos of driving a shitbox ass car back from 6 states away is HYSTERICAL with you and your friends. I love it sOOO much

That was more entertaining and suspenseful than 99% of what Hollywood produces today.

I don’t usually watch full videos this length, but this one I did. Congrats on your oil reclamation project.!

You guys are hilariously adventurous, I have to say! That Impala is "fried, died, and laid to the side!" Thanks for another great video, y'all!😁

JYD and Angus are comedic gold! Add Dalton in there and I might piss my pants!

In case you missed it the first 39 times, it’s a Bricklin SV1 at 6:40. I think @ViceGripGarage left it there last year.

Hands down the best road-trip ever, you were sorry for all the people you passed but I would've LOVED to be there

We bought an 82 Caprice from my wife’s boss one year. He talked it all up; how he bought off the showroom floor, blah blah. I went to test drive it. First off, it was a two door so one plus! Second, the Caprice front end has been replaced with an Impala front end, making it a Capala? Imprice? Third and worst- the 229 V6!!! What a horrible engine!! Even with 90,000 miles, to the floor was 73mph!!! Oh the night mares I’ll have after watching this!! Oh the tilt column!! Yes!! Move the gear shift, adjust the wheel automatically!!! We drive ours up 77 to Ohio from Charlotte! Big mistake! The hills were bad. I had semi trucks passing me! Anyway, on the way home to Florida from Ohio, the trans decided to only use the gears it wanted! We traded as soon as we got home. The salesman called me the next day to ask me if it was a good car!! I said no why? He wanted to buy it!!!

That little car was such a trooper. You and Angus are hilarious! I definitely want to see what the fate of that car is. Thanks to Dalton for letting it die on his property. 🤣

I think this might be the most I've ever laughed at one of your videos. Angus is a national treasure.

Awesome journey, that impala deserves to live, looks a killer car . Thanks for the entertainment guys 👍

OMG! You guys are awesome! Laughing my ass off, I drove something like that, moving from Kansas City to Michigan. Yeah, it`s funny now that it`s over. Thanks for taking me down memory lane!

My favorite quote, unknown author: "I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes ...until I met a person with no feet." Loving the show and your quotes!

Angus was definitely suffering from exhaust poisoning! He was funny as all get out! 😂😂😂

Hey Kevin, I wanted to say thank you for helping me get over my vehicular paranoia, or at the very least helping me manage it. Seeing you guys hump that car across the country on a hope and prayer (among other cross country trips) and barely bat an eyelash at its issues really puts what I thought were "problems" into perspective, and helped me approach them a lot calmer. So,. thanks man :)

Thanks for making some entertainment I can enjoy while out OTR! ❤

I really enjoy these “will it make it” roadtrip videos.

Hey, I personally want to thank you guys for fogging Fayetteville for bugs, that was really awesome lol! Really though, it is awesome to see you guys had made it this far on that poor Impala. And I would like to add, I picked a bad time to watch this video, trying not to wake roommates! HAHAHAHAHA!

This is a great video, full of humor, I was rolling!!! Love it!

52:50 - The face Dalton's son made when you said that is PRICELESS!!!

Perfect timing! Awesome way to get spend the night snowed in, in Ames! Thanks JYD!

Just shows how well the old engines were made. This was very impressive.😮🎉😂
