[@montyholland3357]

That Caprice is a beautiful old ride with lots of potential

[@charlesking1244]

That ‘66 Chevrolet Wagon Is Worth Every Penny Of A Little TLC, What A Beautiful, Original Survivor!!

[@mattroberts4209]

[@jonathanbuffy3522]

My grandfather had a 78 caprice sedan I can remember riding in it with them it was a boat

[@ezra6454]

😂

[@charlesstull4582]

Love them old station wagons. Bring back memories

[@ripjeffhanneman5838]

Not ugly, not junk... I would literally be in heaven with that car!

[@leopoldocuevas319]

love the wagon, my dad had a 69 with ac and a big block 398 i believe, that used to unseat lifters, one of the first cars i drove , we would drive every year from L. A. to guadalajara mexico every summer till 1973, it was a daily driver, and a transport for my dads entire soccer team, the CLUB CHAPALA, good times, thanks for the video.

[@deanduggan2915]

My grandfather had one for yrs we drove it every summer I love it what a traveling car love to hit the road again in one easy to fix and cheap parts God lots of space and seat s in the back you have lower the window down

[@keelaihassan]

The wrangler is so good. This will pull your trailer with load for sure. A standby 4x4. I love that. People tow their big boats yes

[@trapperjohn2462]

1966 Chevy Caprice wagon ?? Awesome !!

[@joedingman4181]

The family truckster brings back memories thanks Randy

[@robby1265]

You honestly make my day better every time I watch your videos, I've been working 40+ hours during this pandemic. It's helps me relax watching your videos and makes me happy you are still enjoying what you do!

[@mv3780]

Dude I have never asked you for anything but please buy the old caprice station wagon. We had one of these when I was a kid and it reminds me of my Dad. My Dad passed away 2 years ago and I would love to see you work on this. Would be a good feeling to see this and you work on it. Bring back memories ❤️

[@alexschantz7669]

Please buy the caprice. What a work of art.

[@jamesmcdonough854]

I grew uo with a 73 gm station wagon. To open the back of the caprice you need to insert the car key and turn it in the lock. The rust would scare me away foam buying it. It was cool to see. the fact that it still exists is a miracle.

[@pbattis1]

Yes please on the Chevy wagon. This is a great direction for you to go in.

[@jackiplayzofficial]

I actually love the Chevy Caprice wagon

[@Expatriate1977]

Randy snag that 66 Chevy. You got a gem in that dodge you got. Never pass up old cars. These wagons are not easy to find. Snag it man! The haters don't matter man

[@williamcap2236]

Omg that wagon is awesome ! Actually bro chevy called the wagons with wood trim kingswood estate wagons my mom & dad had a 70 and remember riding in those back seats

[@randycottengain4448]

I have a 2015 MKZ fully loaded 3.7 all wheel drive with the pano roof. Absolutely love it!!!

[@balajiiyengar4]

The only guy in the world checking fluids for a car which he knows it ain't gonna start anytime sooner or forever.

[@frankroberts1325]

You have never lived untill you have been laid in the back of a station wagon! Just think someone could walk up and see everything right thru those big back windows. exciting it was.

[@CHIPNDEATH]

That is one "Gem" of Chevrolet good old years,,

[@dcpoolsvc]

That 66 wagon is definitely cool. I’m about 48 and growing up in the 80s-90s, my Dad messed with and flipped a lot of cars like that and at that time they were plentiful and boring. Now they’re scarce and cool. And for what it’s worth, if it was cheap enough, I’d like to make that F150 whole again.

[@yousefezzati6425]

i love you channel...i prefer to watch you copart walkaround rather than watching a movie on Netflix ....i live to go car junk and walk around and find parts that i need :)

[@1gatomon]

Thats one solid Wagon.. I would love to have it. I have owned lots of wagons.. sadly the engine is a later 350 or something. 327's do not have EGR valves.

[@rsprockets7846]

305 out of mid 80 camaro

[@79tazman]

the 327 had the oil filler in the front of the engine too it was a pipe that stuck off the engine the 350's had them on the valve cover that's another way to know if it's a 283 or 327

[@lancehigdon8683]

You should have give it to your wife and buy it and give it to your wife your wife would like that car

[@fposmith]

@@79tazman It may be a 307.

[@dalenickel3954]

I really like that 1966 Caprice Station Wagon , that motor is a 1971 or newer 350 maybe a 305 , 2 barrel carburetor , that would be a good home for my 1966 396 big block , if you look that probably has a 12 bolt rear axle and maybe a turbo 400 transmission ..... Great video 👍 keep them coming. Dale Nickel

[@Morgorn1]

What a beauty. It deserves restoration.

[@SILVERBACK69]

Another awesome video👍Such nice cars and trucks just sitting waiting for someone to save them. I would get the Lincoln and the Jeep for sure no problem. The old station wagon could be a cool project. All in all a great video. Have a great day Randy.👋🏼👋🏼

[@kevinsteinmiller8115]

Y’all need to save that caprice she’s a diamond in the rough , power windows and a factory AC car

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

I love Copart, I have some really big plans as my channel gets bigger. building classics with modern donors from copart

[@robbiejones4933]

Cant wait to see what ya do buddy gonna be awesome I'm sure

[@l.cfootman3259]

Randy, that is actually a pretty rare Caprice Wagon. Not going to find many around today with those factory options!

[@timothyharrison8953]

1966 Chevy Caprice Kingswood Estate. Top of the line Chevy! You have to put the window down then the gate folds. Fords had a gate that swung and folded. The GM wagons in the '70s had the gate and window that disappeared, window up and gate down.

[@45AMT]

Back in the day the wagon's is what carried families around before the "SUV craze". pretty cool to see one from the 60's.

[@douglasbrown8175]

Looks like they placed the 327 with a 307, or a 359. The plastic fan shroud is missing, but it has air cond, factory bumper guards, power windows and probably some more options. Love it!

[@justinraystyles3537]

That is a beauty time capsule 66 caprice estate wagon!!😍 I hope that got saved!!

[@schmidt28117]

Love the Chevy wagon. I learned to drive on a 66 Impala convertible. I still have the Impala horn center hung up on my workbench. Great to see cars like that.

[@gastonmoreno8366]

One fine automoble!!!! Station wagons are awesome.

[@Kaden1]

Man I loved that F-150 platinum in the background

[@wyattalvarez4880]

That Jeep is a steal. Good flip or a good daily, either way that thing is a win.

[@deanabbott1167]

That MKZ is a beautiful car. A friend used to have one and it drove great

[@BallisticWrenchGarage]

Love seeing the classics hitting the channel.

[@nathanielgould5284]

I like the Lincoln MKZ looks very clean.. The Jeep Wrangler looks beautiful , ❤️ the color👍👍❤️❤️

[@kevinsukdolak5007]

Those 66 wagons are a very rare sight...my dad had 2 66 impala and one very fast 66 caprice...327....650 double pumper and duals

[@JohnHoganN8]

The Subaru will “bite you in the arse”!! Ha Ha! Respect from here in the UK Randy. 👍 🇬🇧

[@albertguess2168]

I owned a 66 caprice straight window with a 325 horse 396 factory. Wish I never got rid of it

[@rsprockets7846]

Boss had the 427 with transistor ignition

[@79tazman]

That Wagon is awesome those wagons are getting collectable lot of people are into them and a 66 chevy it has the same tail lights and front end as the Impala and the 327 small block are great engines

[@0386rm]

That F-150 looked like an electrical nightmare just waiting to happen. I agree with you 100% Randy. I don't even like aftermarket stereo systems. I like to keep it all factory.

[@dalelewis1016]

My parents had a 66 Pontiac wagon back in the day and loved the 3rd row seat

[@kmath50]

Love it. My wife's family had one just like it. The window has to go down, and then you can unlatch the gate from inside. What happened to the instrument cluster? They also added an option for FM Stereo that year. I don't believe that the gate could be opened from the side until later. My friend's family had a 1967, and it couldn't do that either. The engine appears to be from a later model. The alternator was mounted on the left side until 1968, then it switched to the right.

[@paulfunk1818]

The engine in the 66 I think is a 74 or newer small block, the a/c compressor was originally on the passenger side and the alternator on the driver side. You can also tell by the cto switch located in the thermostat housing and the long shaft water pump. It's a rare to have power windows, but still a cool car.

[@craigjorgensen4637]

Don’t be tempted by this wagon! Beyond restoration!

[@igeekone]

Lincoln did well with the second gen, pre 2017 facelift, MKZ. It still looks fresh today.

[@jamespn]

The Caprice wagon is cool. I really dig 1960s station wagons. This one is a Caprice Custom Estate wagon with the faux wood trim, a step up from the Bellaire and Biscayne wagons.

[@bizkit81]

Randy that F150 would be perfect for a channel rebuild. Bring it back to life.

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

4 door jeep would flip nicely. I am a 2 door wrangler guy but the 4 doors sell so it is what it is

[@wasabitoburrion4409]

I like that Wrangler, unfortunately it will probably go for a lot of money.

[@bradlyniminiken6339]

Wasabito Burrion $9700 it sold for, its a rebuilt title, had front end damage but nothing crazy

[@Narpets2112]

My parents bought a 66 Caprice wagon new and had that car well into the 80's. It was exactly like that one but red. The ignition key had a square head though, the round head key opened the doors and trunk. The rear window was powered too. Okay, not exactly the same, we didn't have the third row of seats.

[@markcopland3641]

Tandy, you need the key to get the handle to pop out then you turn the handle and spin it to roll window down the reach in the handle is on the back side and it opens two ways

[@gcflower99]

A feller like "Vice Grip Garage" could have that running in a couple of hours!!

[@richsweeney1115]

Scotty kilmer too

[@DachsAutos]

Toss a new frame and LS under the body of that wagon and you've got a fun little cruiser.

[@matthewwisenbaugh3883]

Any and all station wagons rocked power+room+stile......

[@tylerjb2534]

Those old Chevy station wagons are dope

[@SeanMcClutchey]

The "Country Squire" was the station wagon version of the Ford LTD.

[@charlesstull4582]

Dad had one when I a kid. Would love to have one to restore

[@rsprockets7846]

Called estate wagon up until 1973 or so,

[@SeanMcClutchey]

@@charlesstull4582 My family had 3 Country Squires with wood on the side in a row. A 6? blue with small fins or gutters along the side, a burnt orange '74, and a maroon 79 that was the basis of the National Lampoon Vacation Family Truckster.

[@RS-yu4lb]

They called this a Caprice Estate.

[@goleafsgo8496]

The Lincoln MKZ is a really nice car. If l lived in or near Oklahoma with the weather you all get i would make it my daily driver as there is a good chance it will get damaged again LOL. Keep a nice car garaged and try and drive it on those perfect weather forecast days. Appreciating though in Oklahoma there is never a guarantee.

[@harryayness133]

I'm pretty sure the Estate Wagon has a later model small block. In '66 these cars had points and a beer can coil. The oil filler was on the front of the engine and tall with a breather on top. I'd bet this one is a 70's 305 or 350. The little plastic oil filler cap in the valve cover screams 305 to me. You might get a clue puling a plug wire. If it's got 13/16ths spark plugs it's likely a 327. Later small blocks have the 5/8ths plugs. Somebody is gonna say I'm wrong about that. lol

[@atribecalledcookies4]

Absolute potential what a beautiful wagon! Wow....make the wood fresh, a nice paint job and put a 327 back in it.

[@XrayDean]

Or go big turbo LS . Build it for Race week next year ♥️🤞🥰🤷‍♂️

[@deanabbott1167]

Oh that chevy would be such a fun rebuilt

[@runningraggedranch5086]

That car is super bad azz I wish was a 67 I would buy it worth big bucks an climbing anything caprice or impala is growing huge even the big boats from the 70s to 80s

[@jacksonroy7480]

To open the hatch you need to put the window down and there is a silver lever and it’ll fold down. Same as the Holden Kingswood

[@volvofreak86]

I saw the caprice and i was thinking that it looked like a vista cruiser, but when you mentioned it i was like "That 70's show" xD

[@fordfusion1267]

I love the Lincoln MKZ I have always wanted one. I would like to see it on the channel.

[@PolarbearYT]

It's basically a ford taurus D:

[@fordfusion1267]

Polarbear922 It is actually based off of the Ford Fusion

[@kyleobrien5709]

Polarbear922 I thought it was a pimped up Fusion?

[@igeekone]

@@PolarbearYT MKS is Taurus. MKZ is Fusion.

[@engineer_alv]

@@kyleobrien5709 correct and there's nothing wrong with it. It's got good bones and as a used car it doesn't sell for a lot more than a used Fusion. My ex roommate got a 08 MKZ from auction about 6 years ago, he paid 3100 + fees, that car proved very reliable and had lots of features and power for the price. He just sold it last year

[@mikepriceup]

Man that jeep is a must have randy you should have it for your collection.

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

the hood release on my 1971 Buick GS is where you first looked

[@baldpimpin1]

you need that wagon...... save it please...... love wagons.. i have a 88 caprice classic wagon now

[@markhoffman5719]

The 66 wagon has potential. Growing up we had three station wagons. No woodgrain. Again, good content potential.

[@z06rcr]

The air cleaner on the ‘66 Chevy has the GM ThermAC system which was introduced in ‘73 .....suggests an engine swap at some point., also no EGR in ‘66

[@aftonline]

My Dad had a 67 Caprice Estate with that same woodgrain siding and 327 motor. Different shape but yeah it was the deluxe version of the Impala.

[@adamtereska8734]

Check that frame very well. It may be only surface scale. If the frame is toasty, put a shortbed 4 x 4 chassis under the body.

[@garysimonson9593]

If that MKZ goes at a good price, I'd snag it. There's a Fusion under the sheet metal and these are really nice cars that are fun to drive. I've got a Fusion Titanium and really love it.

[@boblarkin2331]

That Chevy is beautiful, love it

[@TheJarhead02]

Those Lincolns are great cars and very reasonable. I have had at least 25 from the mks to the mkz's. I'd like to see it on the channel

[@markfinnigan4994]

Randy, you asked for it"how do I look?" Like a goose! A,goose with a 59 dodge, push button auto, telling us he doesn't like this new fangled push button auto in the Zepher.......

[@fluffy1346]

Great content as always keep up the great job

[@DanPevensey1]

Randy buy the station wagon it will make great content something no one else had you can fix this car no problem

[@garysimonson9593]

That engine's newer than the car. EGR is '70s. Air cleaner is '70s. It's got a one-wire integral-regulator alternator, which is later than '66. Also missing something else: There was also a huge recall on motor mounts on these, GM's fix was a cable "safety" to keep the engine from coming up too far if a mount broke. They'd break, engine would lift and bind the throttle linkage open. That recall "fix" seems to be gone.

[@joshs6790]

I honestly look forward to watching these videos

[@buxxbannerspov30]

Older California surfers would trip over each other to get at that Caprice Wagon....

[@topher4730]

i always watch all the videos. just finding time to do it

[@michaelrollins2240]

Randy you've never been to the rust belt have you? LOL, man rust never sleeps!

[@josephfine3394]

The round '66 Caprice key is not for ignition, it's for tailgate/ doors. Pull that small-journal 300HP 327, freshen it up, and stick it in a '55 Chevy!

[@JuniorFan08]

Randy, I love your innocence regarding old cars. The key you found in the car has a rounded head, so it should just be for the glove compartment, doors and tailgate. If it were an ignition key, it would have a square head. However, I suppose someone could have made an ignition key using the wrong style key. The tailgate folds down. You have to lower the rear window to reach the latch at the middle top of the tailgate. I don't remember if the '66 had a dual action tailgate like Ford wagons. I think it might. Frames on these cars were very susceptible to rust especially over the rear wheels. Unfortunately, from the pictures you showed, the frame on this wagon looks like toast. The rest of the car seems really solid though. And of course, someone needed a '66 dash panel for their car. By the way, it is a powerglide car from what I see by the shift quadrant. The only new car my father ever had was a '66 Impala 4 door hardtop that I took my driver's test in. My father passed in 1973 and my mother traded the Impala in 1974 with 82K on the odo.

[@treborrobinson8665]

You definitely need the MKZ! It would be the best car you probably ever had.... Just Saying Is All!

[@carlsegerstrom3989]

I agree, the caprice is cool! I bet it would fit right in out here in California if it had a surfboard strapped to the roof. I’ll tell you one thing, no body will be calling 2020 kias beautiful in 54 years, they will never have that presence
