These. Years. My. Favorites. Thanks

[@lawrenceharp6396]

That Butternut Yellow Impala was a beautiful car at one time. Love that yellow with black interior combo.

[@johnhere6058]

Between Joe and Silas your set up fairly well for parts - keep dragging them home

[@paulsheehan5010]

In Canada, the Impala was also called a Pontiac Parisienne, with Chevy motors and wasn't a wide tracking Catalina or Bonneville.

[@knoester7714]

Good job saving the Chevy

[@paulhare662]

The old dude with the chainsaw in fast foreward was funny. Had a 57 Sport Sedan back in 1975, pretty car. Sport sedans have very under appreciated rooflines.

[@liljoeii6091]

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

[@ericesterby2895]

I love the Jenga structure under the Impala to shore it up. It brings back memories of my brother-in-law and I rescuing a ‘65 Wildcat out of a local junkyard. It’s no fun without a little danger. 😉

[@Elvis20101]

Thank you

[@Tmax-ub5br]

Nice to see someone bringing those old cars back to life. My dad had one like that but a two door but he was a ford guy and didn't keep GM cars long.

[@dougsilva8603]

My Family Had A 1967 Chevrolet 4 Door Post As A 2nd Car Very Nice Chevrolet Car

[@jeffclark2725]

Great rescuen, having it rolling is going to be all the insperation needed for the next guy to finish putting it back together, there is potential there, Thumbs up, great video

[@eventhorizon1855]

You've got the right attitude for the amount of the work ahead of you, it can be very satisfying to bring a car back that was left for dead, all in all you've got to have the passion to do what you do😮

[@daviddamico4288]

Nice job tim ,glad to see you are getting one more together for someone to enjoy…

[@dh2360]

That is going to be an very cool ride, put it back on the street and enjoy the heck out of it.

[@dyer2cycle]

It'll probably wind up being painted black, but if it were mine, I would be awfully tempted to paint it back the original yellow...

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

If this would have had a black vinyl top, I don't think I could have resisted a correct stock restoration to the trim tag. I'm a rigid "100% original" guy except in the case of movie cars. The reality of this one is that it will bring the most, and get the most interest, black with tan interior and chrome sawblade rims

[@daryl3723]

Good job it's so nice to see people saving these car's.😊

[@geraldfischer6049]

Always had a soft spot for the 67, I had a SS 327 when I got out of thr Air Force in 68.

[@pre1980cars]

Glad this car is getting put together, i always liked the 67 impala year😀

[@OsbornTramain]

I love that body style of the 67 and 68 Chevy Full Sized cars! I owned a 68, my grandmother bought new. It's now in Germany, I miss it but glad I know where it is. The four door hardtop style is so attractive on this Chevy!!! Nice find!!!

[@cmintsurfer]

Outstanding! You have a good eye and discernment on when a parts car begins and a project car ends. Thanks for saving another one!

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

Well said. Sometimes I might go too far, but the market values, against the condition and availability of replacement parts, determine what's "worth it" or not to bring back. This is the 5th one of these I've been fortunate to find, so I have a checklist of what to look for on them

[@terryfrederickson2774]

I'm in Mojave desert 🏜️ we don't find rust like that out here in the old car & trucks ,I only buy decent bodies ..thanks for the heads up on 4 door HT Impalas,,I'll be looking for them.

[@THEKINGSCOMING]

great job! i have two very nice headlight bezels for the '67 Impala if needed, both for sale

[@patdesrosiers6423]

Good point about tapping stuck parts while they soak. I like the Kanolabs Aero Kroil, expensive but worth it. Only recent failure was a couple of frozen brake bolts I had to drill out on the late 30s Plymouth axle I have on my most recent build. Most of the time it works miracles. Excellent video, my brother has a 68 Impala SS 427, rare with fewer than 1900 built

[@beatglauser9444]

I never started wit ha car that rough. But as I am a Chevy fullsize guy and a four door man, (I have a big family), I am always so happy to see one of those cars being rescued. I hope this one will be drivable again one day. But the amount of work and money necessary to make this happen, is not for the faint of heart. It was clever to put a weight on the rat trap. Those beasts can get crazy once they are trapped. Once I could not find a similar trap anymore. It was a bit smaller than yours. The rat succeeded to move itself and the trap for two yards. They ended up in an open bag and the beast ate huge holes into it while being inside the trap. My cellar was infested by those monsters. I shot some, poisened some. The worst was when they died and started decaying. My neighbours cat was kind enough to chase one out. At the end I had to brick an opening that was actually meant to let water drain. That seemed to solve the rat problem. Those beasts ate candles when they could not find anything to eat. They seem as tough as a classic Chevy.

[@Freedomquest08]

I think if you had put a new sharp chain on that guy's saw, he would have been so happy that he'd have given you another car for free.

[@marvinalancornell8275]

Great video Tim, love seeing you & Joe work on that sweet Impala, she's pretty rare & hard to find being a 4 door hard top. DD's Speed Shop, if he had it he probably turn it into a 2 door....hahaha.... Take care of You & Yours my KZbin friend.....👍👍👍👍👍's up on this video.....

congrats man, great find!!!

[@timhanson2080]

I had a 67 2 door hardtop with a factory 327 turbo 400. I had a 4 door hardtop after I flipped the 2 door on it's roof. I liked my 2 door better. Thanks for sharing 👍

Mr. Goodpliers good job my friend i really enjoyed your video about the care you did work on and and it was really good job done and God Bless.

[@dyer2cycle]

22:42..Wow..is that a '58 Skyliner retractable?...and, I always find it amazing, how few Edsels were built, and the number of survivors that are commonly quoted as existing..yet, it seems that in practically all of these old collections, salvage yards, anywhere there are old abandoned cars, there always seem to be Edsels...multiple ones, very often...

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

Yes it's a '58 Skyliner retractable. Sadly it's rusted beyond restoration - however it is mostly complete for parts

Any luck locating a good hood for a 67' yet? I am still looking for one!

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

I don't really have options for shipping one. I've got several more cars spotted and barely enough hoods to go around for them. I'll probably have to hang on to what's here to finish piecing these cars together

[@briangardner5764]

Did you pass up on the AD pickup that was at the same place as your Impala? It looked decent.

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

I'm considering it. The price was a little strong, but decent straight half tons like that aren't around every corner

[@natew8882]

I think it WAS too far gone.

[@user-so2ni3lq1x]

Where do find all these jems. Up here in Connecticut its pretty sparse.

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

Fortunately we have a great confluence of situations here - there are wide open places for vehicles to lay at rest, and a gentle climate that is relatively friendly toward preserving them in restorable condition

[@brianhayes7618]

This one is pretty rough is it worth the bother

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

67 four door hardtops are worth twice as much as a two door. If this were a two door, it would be a parts car in this condition

It's a mechanical device to amplify torque via an internal gearset. It will move the most stubborn fasteners that an impact won't budge

I grew up with these cars. I'm fascinated anybody would want this thing. Bent, rotted, worn out, why?

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

This particular 4 door hardtop model has a cult following because of the TV show Supernatural. If it were a two door, or one year newer, or a year older, it would have been a $750 parts car in this condition. But, because of what it is, there is a standing list of buyers waiting to restore every one that's turned up. Believe it or not, there's a dedicated restoration shop in the D/FW area of north Texas that focuses on these cars

[@brianmatthews9697]

That's amazing. I'm not familiar with the show. I'll have to look it up. When I was a kid these just weren't special cars. They were quite common. Thanks for filling me in. @@mr.goodpliers6988

Ya know I enjoy watching your shows and I am not knocking or trying to be a smart ass but do buy that stuff for scraping or what I mean who would want that ole four door chevy as ruff as it is you can buy new panels for those cars with way less work than it would take to fix that just curious man its your affair but I cant help but wonder why

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

A 1967 four door hardtop is a very desirable collector vehicle because it was the hero car in the TV show Supernatural. It first aired in 2005. By that time, most 4 door cars had been scrapped at the end of their useful lives, or parted out to restore two doors. The show ran for an amazing 15 years, and attracted a cult following, drying up the supply of restorable 4 door hardtops. Every restorable example that is located now brings a premium over 2 door 1967s, and 1966- earlier Impalas and 1968-later Impalas.

[@hansnordstrom2373]

Do not use a 1965 0r 1966 steering centrlink and steering arms on the spindles on a 1967 to 1970 Impala or Caprice Bel air Biscayne not the correct parts

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

I figured that out after removing them. They got stuck on the shelf for the next car. It actually turned out that I was able to free up the existing steering parts and get everything working, which was a surprise considering that they laid buried for so long. They will still need to be replaced with new parts, but the objective here was to be able to move the car around the lot and load it for transport

[@terryfrederickson2774]

after all this time you don't have a decent trailer with a winch ??. you need better equipment if your gonna keep doing this,,,but I liked your videos .
