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.

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

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! 😍

This was very impressive.

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!

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

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

That black Jeep though 👀

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 🤣

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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. 😂😂😂😂

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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

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!

a SERIOUS testament to how tough those old engines were

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.

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 😆

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

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

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

The most Emmy worthy episode yet 🏆

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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+++++

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 👍

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

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!!!!!

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

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. 😆

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.

Great episode guys! The more I watched the episode the more I really started to love the car , in the comfort of my warm house of course. Im looking forward to seeing you guys do an engine swap and whatever else you do with it. a nice LS would be cool

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

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!

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

Thanks for this video. It was Beary entertaining.

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.

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.

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

Merry Christmas and happy new years too you and your family

Very well done! Entertaining and educational!

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

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

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 :)

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!

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

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

Great episode! Never laughed so hard! Thanks guys.

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

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. 🤣

🤣The epitome of "the little engine that could!" I laughed pretty much through this entire video! Reminded me of stuff my friends and I did when we were MUCH younger! Working on our vehicles on my gravel driveway, pulling and reinstalling transmissions, brakes, carbs, etc. until the crack of dawn, dubbing ourselves "Midnight Auto😂! Thanks so much for sharing this very enjoyable video. Can't wait to see the next adventure! God bless.

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

This was the funniest...and most fun...episode yet! Both of you are heroes of the automotive world. Living here in the middle of the Pacific, I miss the lower 48 and all the road trips. Your video...took some of that pain away.🤣😆🤣Mahalo for showing me 55-gal oil drums-worth of grit and wit. Aloha.

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!

That had to be the most entertaining episode of JYD I've seen in a while! I laughed almost the entire episode!
