1962 Chevy Biscayne/1965 Belair Wagon Rescue! + Historic Chevy Dealership Visit!! (TWO CAR RESCUE)

[@daviddavis4444]

My Aunt had a 66 Bel Air Wagon. 327 4 Barrel 3 Speed on the column, under dash a/c. Late 60's 3 sisters with their 6 kids in the back quilt on the floor. No carpet when the back seat folded down, we played games, slept, godbid one of us got into trouble brakes would get slammed and all of us scooted on that quilt bounced off the back seat. We did many road trips tailgate was a table for making sandwiches and such. Rear floor had a compartment to put the bar b que grill in and other things. That wagon sure stayed around till the late 70's when it finally just grew tired. The 62 is exactly like the one my parents had same color and everything

[@IowaClassicCars]

cool story!

[@finfan83]

Ryan doing his magic and finding Chevys with their undersides in place !

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks man!

[@DudesWithWrenches]

It was a great auction to just see all those low mileage cars in one place great mention and video

[@IowaClassicCars]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jimpatnode4445]

The wagon would make a great daily. Love the body style.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks for watching Jim!

[@geneschweiss4872]

Amazing 1965 Chevy station wagons, GM produced 160,000 units total that year... Impala, Caprice, Belair & biscayne wagons.

[@paulsheehan8185]

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD, IN THE 1960'S, SOME BEL AIRS HAD BACK UP LIGHTS AND SOME DIDN'T.

[@IowaClassicCars]

it was an option you could buy

[@kc0lif]

i like those 1960s and 1970s wagons and 4 doors too.

[@IowaClassicCars]

good cars for sure

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Love that wagon!!! 👍👍

Thx man!

[@markhoffman9674]

I hope both run and are not stuck! The wagon is very cool and has 300hp 327 V8! Would make a great cruiser/sleeper! Take care Ryan!

[@IowaClassicCars]

the 327 is tight but not stuck, the 235 turns over nicely!

you and me both!

I can't wait to see the 65 wagon Fire.

[@dombutler7685]

Nice saves Ryan! Go back for that Nova, i'm sure someone will want it! I can't believe that the Lambrecht auction was 9 years ago now!

[@IowaClassicCars]

That's the plan!

[@terrencegiordan2775]

I remember that auction I guy bought his 57 chevy back he traded in

[@IowaClassicCars]

thats pretty cool!

[@rscamarolover]

I'm very glad to see that you plan to make them both drivers again instead of parts cars especially the awesome wagon, I want a 65 or 66 wagon some day, I had a 65 iimpala wagon in the late 1990s . Sad that too many people didn't think 4 door classics were worthy of keeping alive as with many wagons became 2 dr car parts . I'd rather have a wagon version of I'm impala,chevelle,nova or tri five Belair any day. My 2 door of choice is my 3rd Gen camaro . Great find and can't wait to see them being put back on the road

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks for watching!

[@cjdesign5700]

The Wagon is a keeper!

[@IowaClassicCars]

for sure!

[@erickricharson5196]

Get them both back on the road. And defiantly go get that nova

[@IowaClassicCars]

maybe next trip back!

[@billdavis1730]

That wagon is awesome!! I would love to watch a frame swap video, great content. According to the 1965 Chevy brochure, 2-tone paint was available on the Bel Air except convertibles (!!). One of the combos was Ermine White lower with Artesian Turquoise upper. Brochure does not show 2-tone example or where the paint break lines were. Popping off rear window or windshield trim might give a clue as to whether upper was Artesian Turquoise or a later-date repaint blue. Door jambs white so I bet at least the lower was always white. I think the paint code on the data plate would show both paint codes for factory 2-tone. Frame swap!!

[@IowaClassicCars]

Hopefully when my shop is done, a frame swap is the plan

[@petecunnien5368]

Nice finds!! Love that wagon!! I’ve got to get me a wagon sometime

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks Pete

[@johnkranz4004]

Two nice Scores Ryan

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks John!

[@burt66669999]

Nice score Ryan !!!

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks man!

[@mattlevault5140]

I'm a wagon guy. You gotta spend some time and $$$$ on that one. When I was a kid we had a '65 Chevy Bel Air wagon. White with medium blue interior. 327 w/Powerglide. Me and my brothers sleep in the cargo area for many a mile going to and from grandma's house. You could get two tone paint in 65. Blue over white and white over blue were among the many optional paint schemes.

[@IowaClassicCars]

i think i am going to frame swap it

[@jamesthompson8008]

That's a good score there Ryan, really digging the '65 wagon tho I know that's not your primary wheelhouse. Interesting option choice on it also, power rear window but little else; probably was a mom's car/grocery mobile. Shop keeps looking better each time!

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks man!

[@bennyhelgeson401]

If I did not have 2 classic cars to rerstore I would be knocking at your door for that wagon. Also I can never remember anything but single color on 65 wagon or any 65 for that matter. One my favorite chevy models was 65 impala. Great style.

[@IowaClassicCars]

ill need to check the order manual online and see what color combos were available

[@josejimenez-yc6ou]

Nice find Ryan

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks Jose!

[@davidsantos8206]

Hi Ryan. Wasn't the story with Lambrecht Chevrolet, that the owner of the dealership took all of those cars in trade for new cars. Then stored them in the field, because he refused to sell used cars? Cool score today. I particularly like the 65 wagon, as I had 2 65 Impalas back in the day. 1 was a bright red 327 2dr and the other was a black 283 4dr, that I bought mainly for the gas tank, but ended up stealing a few more parts off of it. Then sold the good running engine and transmission, for more than I bought the car for. And I think that the 65 was the same color as the 62, until someone painted it (poorly) thanks for the video

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thats correct, a hoarder

[@justdale1966]

Hey man I've been following you for a while you are picking your area clean four-door hardtops are the ones everyone's looking for any of those in your area and then there's the trucks man if you were in the trucks you'd be scooping those up just a suggestion there's a lot of truck people out there and they want trucks thanks for the good videos keep them coming

[@IowaClassicCars]

im not big into trucks, idk why

[@francisjaniewski5990]

In the 70s I always ANYTHING with 4 doors. Now I know it is our History. I would own Any wagon now at 67yr old. But now I would own any Pickup between late 30s and 75. Keep up the good work. Happy hunting. Dennis

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks Dennis!

[@dalestewart5670]

Always look forward to your videos, 2 more fine cars be watching for more to come. Thanks

[@jg24diecast41]

Love wagons! Looking forward to seeing you do a frame swap on this one.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Few months!

[@jamesandrew5205]

Biscayne could have been some sort of fleet vehicle. Some companies offered bare bones cars to there salesmen and managers. My dad was a salesman for a dairy distribution company and had Fury’s during the 70’s. People thought he was a cop.

[@IowaClassicCars]

yes you are correct on that

[@dennisbrown2571]

Wish you would do a video about how many cars you sell overseas and where they end up and what kind of people are buying these old chevys.

[@IowaClassicCars]

i could do that, i have lots of progress photos from new owners

[@TheWalkmanRotation]

Love that Nova. I kind of do the same thing you do-but on a much smaller scale when I can. I think I'm on some FB groups you are in. I recently saved a '73 454 Caprice 2 door last year and am bringing it back,a '73 Imperial LeBaron I just shipped out from Missouri and a '73 Pontiac Luxury LeMans pulled from a field here in Washington.

[@IowaClassicCars]

We probably are in some groups together!

[@TheWalkmanRotation]

@@IowaClassicCars I think we are. My name is Jason. I actually am a Mod for the '70 Great American Land Yacht page. I have posted in Everything Classic GM as well.

Good score on those cars ! The wagon can gey another shot at life

[@portlandon]

That 62 biscayne has the cheapest option, the corrugated steel passenger window.

[@IowaClassicCars]

haha, amen to that

[@edwinbonnelljr1587]

Well friend of mine in Arizona had a 66 Biscayne four-door would I believe a 2:30 into it and it had a 3-speed on the column I got cancer driving for about a month and it's it was a beautiful car not a speck of rust anywhere I enjoyed that car I tried to buy it from him but he wouldn't sell it have a great day

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks you too

[@edwinbonnelljr1587]

You are very welcome anytime have a great day

[@dantarver622]

65 Wagon was never offered as a two-tone (especially the BelAir model) . Most likely was the blue-green color originally. We had a 66 the same color.

[@IowaClassicCars]

hm interesting

[@ratt727]

Great find again

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks man

[@papagiorgio85]

Can't wait to see if they run next week. Thanks for sharing Ryan 👍🏻

[@IowaClassicCars]

Fingers crossed!

[@gregpiecuch3802]

Nice scores! Let us know if you get that Nova. Something about that car seems very interesting.

[@IowaClassicCars]

For sure will do

[@chuckcarguy2651]

I think the wagons were one color. Also a 5.3 L or a 6 l would be great in that wagon! Then turn around and sell me to 327. I got an old 65 Impala wagon used it for parts when I was a kid and my point is this it had the biggest baddest 327 you could get and it was special ordered in that wagon. I took the upper end off and used it on a project. I used the front seat and another project. Be careful those big windows just like to fall in or fall out and bust on the ground. And kind of like the back windows on 68 and 69 chevelles. I'm referring to long windows on the back side of your wagon. Great potentials

[@IowaClassicCars]

i need to check the cowl tag to confirm

[@williamdeegan7840]

That's a shame. Weird that the floors look great , and then frame is toast. Can that be repaired ? I sold a '66 Bonneville conv. to Sweden with a bad frame and they repaired it. It was bad behind the front wheels and where the frame goes up over the axle. Glad you saved the wagon. I love cars that are strippers.

[@IowaClassicCars]

It could be, but cheaper and safer to replace

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Ryan :) got nice finds for sure also and remember hearing about radio delete in vechiles also was wild till saw first vechile did have it also was Biscayne car to but some people own them did put stereo years later too ! I know my grandparents on mom side one had forgotten order brand new so took back to dealer got one in on my grandma car ! Took 2 weeks do but it got why my grandma wanted radio for hear local radio stations for music , news plus much a stations did for only Am radio stations get at time ! Also bet know this Ryan but GM , Ford , Fargo (Dodge) , Studebaker, Toyota , International trucks some did not come with radio and had order as option or get one in ! My uncle John 1994 Toyota Tacoma T100 truck had antenna on fender plus cables plus no radio or speakers he get aftermarket one radio plus speakers spots were there plus wires no speakers! JVC radio fit in plus had get wire in and got speakers to! The truck was California USA but was trade in for car who own it for first owners and he bought in 2008 in Ontario Canada found was was weird! But first 1994 vechiles never seen that and my late dad also late uncle 1968 International pickup 1 ton pickup truck had no radio in it or plug for for it but had one speaker in dash also antenna so in 1970 got GMC installed plus wire in ran off Key ignition switch in On Postion only !

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks man!

[@williamdeegan7840]

Artesian Turquoise or Mist Blue Poly. Those might be the colors. Could have a different front clip.

[@IowaClassicCars]

ill see what the cowl tag says!

[@eddean6663]

There was a guy on KZbin that bought A 59 four door at the Lambrect auction. It was supposed to be the mechanics personal car. He put floors in it and only did d a bout for episodes.

I wonder if that '65 wagon was a blue roof and that little bit of blue paint on the pass front door was just overspray that was eventually covered by the lower body white paint? What does the cowl tag say?

ill check and report back

[@IowaClassicCars]

good idea

[@mh9835]

That 65 wagon has a 66 front end on iit

[@IowaClassicCars]

not true the chevy bar on the header indicates it a 65 front clip

[@mh9835]

65 was one piece front fenders and 66 had 2 piece fenders

[@upandabove567]

you are wrong about the key ignition inset key turn to on you can pull key out while car is running or not this was done so you could open the trunk or glove box you had to insert key to lock the ignition if left unlocked you simply turn the ignition and the way you go

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thats what i said..... You can start the car without a key as long as its not in lock position

[@williamdeegan7840]

Only the roof would have been painted a different color.

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks

[@paulp5775]

What a shame the wagon frame is rotten. But at least you can swap it out. Salted roads caused this ? Or common problem ?

[@IowaClassicCars]

just a bad design, 65-70 were bad frames
