[@stevew270]

Always loved the Caprice/Impala aero coupes.

[@aHmeDKWT]

That’s great video I have memories with that amazing 79 caprice I had fun

[@acrazycanuck78]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DirtTitan]

my dad had an 89 caprice classic. loved that car. the thing i loved the most was when he hit the gas the car would rock.

[@Grease1987]

i bought a car a year ago that looked in identical shape inside and out.. full of garbage n whatnot.. after about 2 weeks i got it shining like a star and it cleaned up realll good! its a 1983 caprice 4 door 305 soon to have a 427 :) hope you have fun with yours

[@acrazycanuck78]

it is a nice car. my friend who purchased it drives it everyday and it runs great. never touched the carb which works perfect.In fact he drove for a month with out changing any fluids.

[@Thevacomaticvacuumcorner]

does he has vids of it

[@acrazycanuck78]

@@Thevacomaticvacuumcorner unfortunately no

[@LynxStarAuto]

Thought this cat was in Canada, but I kept sensing that Boston accent. Then I see the Mass tag...

[@kamilkazmierczak2842]

The sound is just mindblowing...

[@Salih.A.j]

Just looking at out side and inside of this car , stops me a lot to travel to my 1997 days when i was about 12y old , what a mystery memory happens during watching this video !!

[@philippeemami7594]

Wonderful ! Love it. I have a 79 Caprice Sedan and love it.

[@NJFordPops08005]

now THAT's a cranking video! love it!

[@tiffanypetty8964]

I love this car it sounds mean .💘.

[@kingdvd74]

lol My parents bought a used 79' black on grey 2dr back in 81'. Then my parents gave it to my sister in 86' until she got a new car a couple years later. It sat in front of our house for a couple years then I got it in 90'. After a jump and new gas, started right up. My friends and I called it the party barge. Those bench seats were perfect...if you know what I mean. ;-) I had to buy a car in 91' that was better on gas to deliver pizza's and it was parked once again. My sister started using it again shortly after. Her drunk ass drove it off the road messing with the radio, hit a hill and "dukes of hazard" it through a mobile home, landed then quickly drove home. It was scratched up all to hell but the only things got broke was the grill and retractable antenna. The next day she told me and i drove to the site to see the damage. Thank God the place was empty. She had to be going 50 mph when she hit the hill to clear the height and have the force to go through both sides without getting stuck. She had no idea how fast she was going since the speedometer had stopped working years prior. Too bad we didn't have camera phones back then. It is one of the things that has to be seen to believe. She never drove it again after that. It sat for 4 years until I had a friend that moved back to town that need a car. All it needed was a new battery and it started right up with little hassle. After he was done with it, I sold it 2004 for $900 to a guy that wanted to restore it. I hated to see it go but I didn't have the time or money to restore it myself and it was just sitting there pissing off my neighbors. He brought it by when he was done, it looked like how we bought back in 81'. Complete with 8 track and CB radio! lol Man...those cars were beast and real easy to work on.

[@meathead612]

My first car was a 79 caprice 2 door. Same colors. I loved it. Dropped the rear end doing neutral drops.

[@phanson96]

Man that thing sounds really good.

[@slimjim119]

nice find I miss my 1977 caprice 2 door 350 4 bolt all factory

[@vocals4378]

Such a nice car man I love this car motor sounds great just run some Seafoam in it and change the oil and gas and spark plugs and your a winner

[@ChuckPlatinum]

Awesome love those first starts

[@adamseaman2663]

Just brought a 79 impala, nothing like a real car! It has been sitting for 13 years but started almost immediately with little work

[@joserafaelgrangefuenmayor9238]

Chevrolet Caprice Classic Landau Coupé 1979; cuando el motor está muy frío; tarda en arrancar; porqué quizás no llega gasolina al carburador con fuerza; soy José Rafael de Venezuela; saludos a acrazycanuck78.

[@paulsheehan8185]

i like the bumper strips and guards, i hate bare bumper dents.

[@kevin122759]

Awesome find. I did not know there was a 2 door in that body style.

[@LynxStarAuto]

Oh yeh the two door box Chevy. They look better with the limited or base trim, I never did like the landau top/trim.

[@84montecarlonazi]

A landau coupe thats a sweet ride ur crazy for crankn it without changeing fluids sounds like needs a cArb

[@Bronywithguns870]

Man i love the old v8s when they get cold started

[@lovetocrank]

Me too!

[@radeakins]

That is sweet. Why would someone want to let it stand, it deserves to be driven. Glad it sold.

[@bigcotie]

i dont realy like these cars but this one is special . good to see you saved it

[@TheOldcarlover]

Awesome car and awesome video.

[@84montecarlonazi]

I belive it after it started ran good, there bulletproof cars,been looking for one awhile i like it

[@DMM6771]

omg dude you are gonna ruin the starter get some starting fluid or prime the carb,,lol

[@justsumguy2u]

Nice find, and nice car. In that generation, two door Impala's and Caprices were pretty rare, the vast majority produced were four door sedans. I see it's got that trusty GM ignition lock, where you can turn it without a key---I've had at least four that did that. The only real problem with that car is the roof---I can see it's got some pretty serious bubbles under the landau, which means there will be lots of rust holes underneath. Still, it's fixable.

[@andrewps84]

My neighbor had a 1980 Impala, 2-door. Don’t know what he did with it but it was a sweet car.

[@TheOldcarlover]

Hot sounding too

[@raptor750r]

this is a NICE find! Wish my caprice was a 2 door...so hard to come by though. Mine also has a bad case of rot near the rear window...pain in the ASS to fix by the way.

[@redd5674]

Nice car I have a 1979 Chevy Caprice mines the 4 door. The 305 is a good motor that's what motor is in mine.

[@scoopyex]

305's are camshaft eating boat anchors. they were made in Mexico with low nickle in the casting mix and tended to wear cylinders at phenomenal rates

[@slashnduffrock]

scoopyex fuck you, you stupid racist, the only reason why your camshaft went out was because you were putting regular modern oil in it with low zinc, you have to add a zinc additive to regular flat tappet cams or they'll grind out, what 305 were know for were there shitty valve seats that would wear out after 80-90k miles and they'd start to burn oil. Get you facts straight you piece of shit.

[@mental_modeler2952]

+sebastian chavez oh, shut up

[@macc305]

the car starting sound it's like the intro of du hast, you know, the "muwaa muwaaa"

[@paulsheehan8185]

nice caprice! 1979 was the first year for the thm 200, and they had alot of problems.

[@SoydeCubaCompay]

10:20 the sound of the beauty

[@ford1979truck]

God DAMN nice car

[@ItsaRomethingeveryday]

beautiful car I had one like it was a 78 It's a rare car

[@jordanwiley4582]

Classic case of pumping it way too damn much. 7:17 - 7:22 17 pumps? Really man? Not to mention the 900 other pumps. I know this video is 6 years old, but jesus christ. Pump it two or three times, if it floods, hold it to the floor. The linkage should pop the choke open a little to give it some air. That being said, the bowl was probably dead empty and the accel pump well was probably dry or pump itself was stuck/bad.

[@Beercan2011]

Love these cars I bought mine 12 years ago for 150$

[@ruwithlee1970]

Great find ! How much did it sell for? Down here in Tx that car would sell for atleat $1500 the mexican guy's love the old chevy's Low Rider s.

[@eamondunne1973]

I had one it had white top I miss that baby it Was my first car

[@bpatterson308]

can we get an update video? id like to see the car today nice looking car always had a soft spot for these cars right here

[@hollisdevyn]

Starter Fluid Bro!!

[@lovefordgalaxie]

That's a great car. Loved the trim rings, and the cool red interior. I would pull the carburetor, clean it out, and replace the fuel lines before trying to drive it. Are the brakes working good?

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Awesome car!

[@acrazycanuck78]

ignition is wore out so it turns without a key but there is a key for it..

[@Nascarlee]

Jesus christ don't jab the gas so much!

[@Vanadeo]

LOL now i see what you mean xD.

[@23109alex]

thats my favorite year caprice i been looking for one but aint shit around here. .

[@NorthernPhonePhan]

im 24 years old and live in Canada and seen tons that are not rotted to death, maybe there are more up here? just odd that all the ones uve seen are rotted, very popular car here, all police cars and taxis were these before crown vics. Still tons of them around, not many rotted that ive seen. My grandma had 2 of them when i was a kid

[@acrazycanuck78]

thanks, still runs great today!

[@DM000ND]

sooo good bro top top

[@marilynrias6500]

Man I swear dat Chevy hits just rite

[@ItsALoweNation]

It only needs very little work :D That car would be awesome. Save it!!!!

[@kinkfreebird96]

kool video!!

[@666rtard]

oh yeah, those are some good exhaust fumes

[@ItsaRomethingeveryday]

the landau signature was the rear split pain window

[@65coupestang]

oh another rear gas tank didn't those things blow the hell up when hit in the rear ! ? with a full tank ?

[@jakponfraslot4334]

A real mechanic doesn't try to start a car for 15 minutes, while sitting in the driver seat. That is what Volvo driving sucker moms do.

[@josephwilliams6369]

Jakpon Fraslot soccer* learn how to spell before trying to talk shit.

[@ClassicJunk88]

when my uncle gets out of prison, im going to start up a 85 pontiac persienne that hasnt been started in like 8 years

[@corvette1568]

Sound it like that the starter moter was going out since it would let go a lot when the car tryed to fired how is your buddy likeing it?

[@acrazycanuck78]

yeah new starter was installed and he loves it..

[@blackiechong4344]

Like every other idiot pump and pump and pump and run the battery and starter down then when it does fire keep on pumping. When a car sits for that long you have to go thru it and get fresh fuel change oil and check timing and what ever it needs for a clean start

[@CBRHurricane6]

my brother has 2 of those, wish they were near running

[@clutchmichaelmarine]

I also have a 79 caprice but I have my motor from my 70 Chevelle in it so now my caprice has a 632ci chevy big block in it

[@KMaN5150]

sounds like the starter was free wheeling, tighten those bolts and it should be fine, nice car find by the way, id restore it

[@mitym64]

had an impala same year, paid 50 bucks for it. great car

[@462ANIMAL]

Nice find!

[@jasperrathman]

Man if you ever find one of these again tell me! I love this car. I live in the Netherlands, and it sucks to get a car like this. Expensive as shit, no matter what condition. Cheaper to import it yourself.. First I've got to find someone who has one..

[@kenconney4625]

Got 1 if your serious

[@plainsabertooth7828]

jasperrathman if not mistaken 1980 onwards was more of a cruiser them muscle right?

[@kenconney4625]

correct

[@plainsabertooth7828]

ken conney why it was a stupid move? i mean you can easily install a 400 sbc if you build it right. big block power in a small block package. :)

[@auaiao9]

What he's doing can be a good thing sometimes.

[@artistmac]

My '79 coupe's got rust in the same places around the rear window. $1600!? I shoulda bought a spare when Impala and Caprice coupes were plentiful in boneyards.

[@woodgranecustoms]

I got a 77 caprice same b body....nice

[@randombk82894]

Cold blooded are we

[@bigphil1982siny]

That car really was a good find im 30 years old eveyone I have seen was rotted to death good luck with it .... you wont need it tho its a chevy

[@NickvanMeel]

Awesome, cool car! :P

[@James33432]

Good work

[@65coupestang]

what're you doing pumping, the accelerator you're going to flood it ?

[@CBRHurricane6]

atleast this one does, my brother has the same year Impala version, 1967 327 in it....and its just wasting away.....very sad.....

[@NorthernPhonePhan]

for sure!

[@garbage854]

Cool car :)

[@tiffanypetty8964]

How much did you end up selling it for amd if not what will you take 4 it .i would like to have it.ill pay whatever you feel is reasonable

[@acrazycanuck78]

Don't even remember but I sold it twice..

[@connorswitzer5518]

[@acrazycanuck78]

300

[@bababooey7576]

haha, my 87 caprice doesn't need the key either. Best option ever.

[@acrazycanuck78]

@thecrazymotorhead not sure yet..

[@timberwolvesguy6392]

Gotta admit, that thing has a nasty sounding V8 once it fires up.

[@TheIndoGod]

I Live In South GA. 4500 Is The LOWEST Ive Ever seen A Stock One Sell For

[@acrazycanuck78]

and i cant even get three grand around here..

[@1ruckus1]

In Arizona they go for 1000 to 2000 ish

[@TheGMlover1]

[@MrJOESEPPY]

[@forterierocks]

[@65coupestang]

[@wannacboi]

How did you get that key in the keyhole for the trunk with all that dirt and crap in it?

[@65coupestang]

I agree !

[@stickdog1230]

sweet find

[@pontiacpanic79]

What exhaust does that have? I like the sound of it

[@TheGixxerMister]

It doesn't seem like he's started many old cars...
