[@ip-coceorang321]

Still come to this video 15yrs later is crazy I certainly know what I want lol

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

LOL me too! This just pop in my head. 😅

[@jeffuthoff8622]

Another masterpiece!! Y'all work magic with wrenches.

[@andyderby150]

This is my favorite car on line, it’s a perfect driver that mix between classic car with hidden advances, my good friend has a black’65 with the 427 four speed ludicrous torque and it given me the fervor so I’m hunting for the right one love the’65s!

[@jamesamescua8647]

Love that red interior and black paint job nice. :)

[@johnhalchishick7094]

I really like this setup,nice work.

[@joe-hp4nk]

Love those NA motors, especially big blocks. I grew up in the muscle car era, so I have a fond attachment for them.

[@mikiejr111]

Sweet Ride,,,,Just finished my 66'IMPALA SS ZZ502/600HP..5SPD,3:42 Moser,3"mandrel bent PYPES EXHAHAST,ALLOY PEARL GRAY,RED BUCKET GUTS

[@ChristopherGrods]

Amazing Tom, just amazing...

[@kimdebbie4122]

I love that car it is Beautiful and the sound is so sweet. I will take 2 please!

[@svo65]

have always liked the 65/66 big chevys, this one is beautiful and a beast. GREAT CAR!!

[@eifeldude1]

I had a 65 SS impala with a 327 2 speed powerglide in high school. I loved that car...had to sell it when i joined the military

[@CRUSHFACTORPC]

His web site is updated but I do not see much from Tom anymore I hope he is well.

[@TheTheomax]

Old video or not It was really cool to see a NRE N/A big block with a manual trans and in a Big Girl like this one. I'm not hating on the turbo cars I just have never owned one so this is right up my alley. How could you not be Happy with this big ole girl a 572 CI and a 6 speed manual and a 2 legged rear. Nothing but bad ass in honest opinion. It's not hard to see that I like cars like this. Thank you for showing this!

[@gabrielmaldonado480]

Beautiful sound

[@kzoframe39]

I'm in love with this car, and the 1968 Mustang that NRE did. I want them both very badly.

[@oldbiker9739]

those were great cars , I restored a 66 Impala years ago

[@gregkowalski7084]

Hot damn, my youth all over again.

[@charleswildman137]

The exhaust note on that thing is seriously Bitchin!!

[@alxkenney]

love it! my first car was a burgandy '66 ss just like this one but ahh, minus 500 horses and 4 gears. looked cool though

[@ThyLiquor]

Listen to it breathe.... It's such a sweet overrun too.

[@IECStang]

I don't know what it is but there's just something about a big car with a huge cubic inch v8 that's just simply AWESOME!!!

[@Dr_Xyzt]

I'm wondering the same thing. It could be a Richmond 6-speed with hand picked ratios, but more likely, it could just be a tremec T-56 with the 2.97 first gear, and a 4.10 diff.

[@JuanPapaNicolao]

That is one extraordinary piece of art . To me it is perfect and needs nothing but a climate controlled garage and some good ol TLC . The owner must be a very proud individual

[@jermainebynum8265]

Sweet ride! Like the rims. Some people kill me with rims hate lol

[@JayZoop]

You make good videos with really cool cars. Sweet car dude. It's my preference but I like the sound of that 64 1/2 mustang better. With this car I would be too tempted to get my license taken away.

[@mrhyde2484]

I wish I had my 66 SS convertible with the simple 283 & power glide transmission. I sold it for 500 bucks when I was 19 and the car was 20. Man, what I could do with that car today.

[@marktuyet]

My 66 never looked like that, beautiful !

[@CamaroAmx]

not to metion the example he gives was with a 59 impala, the last year for the x-frame and the car was a total rustbucket (you see the rust fly off the car when it hits).

[@KravDr]

Car's gorgeous!!! Not much into the wheels and tires. Purrrrrs so sweet. Music to the ears!!

[@1967grimreaper]

Impala goals

[@rafael_ccruz]

Putz irmão... Maravilhoso ! Carro top... Oficina top. Parabéns !

[@jhfit]

A 66 Impala was my first car👍

[@Bostonharborwater]

Tom Nelson is my hero!

[@user-sr3jm1je4n]

Nice where are you

[@jimibeckert]

Naibors must love that car

[@Exodus.1337]

What song is used in the intro soo chill!!?

[@IAMREIKI]

Uncle Tom ,, You Guys are the Best Man .

[@elprgone]

What a beautiful exhaust sound !! what exhaust have you installed ? I don't hear drone, awesome.

[@coolmoodee]

love me some horsepower.... Tom Nelson builds some of the best engines in the country. and usually the people that go to him can afford this and the gas it takes.

[@Ghostsamuari25]

That thing is wicked sick.

[@paulrodgers5559]

With those low profile tires , it ends up lookin' like Mike Tyson in pink , fuzzy slippers.

[@scottjordan6569]

Gotta love that big block torque!

[@Dr_Xyzt]

Let's see some footage of the NRE LSX 454 hot rod. Fuel injected, GM single plane intake. I'm considering that motor...

[@brianbrooks1855]

Z Df

[@cooldik]

i'm french and i like american car's ,the sound is perfect

[@CamaroAmx]

exactly. i was hit in my 73 AMX by a mid to late 90s fullsize chevy pick-up 11 years ago at a gas station. he nailed me in the right rear 1/4 panel. i had a dented 1/4 and a cracked spoiler. his bumper was bent, right fender was crunched and his passenger door wouldn't open. a few minutes with a hammer and dolly and a little touch up with some paint and the car was fine.

[@juliennacer8871]

Really? But the truck is so much heavier. I call bs.

[@CamaroAmx]

@@juliennacer8871 the side of his truck scraped along the right rear corner of my car as he attempted to avoid the impact. Barely left a scratch in my bumper that buffed right out.

[@cod5gta4halo3cod4]

Beautiful its a 66 right?

[@c3dweston]

Anthony Midnight Yes

[@Dr_Xyzt]

I hear that. I want an alien intake 572 for my truck. In 6 years, I might be able to have a reason to do so.

[@martintorres3589]

my 1966 caprice will look that nice , one day. I can only dream. after all it is free to dream

[@Shane_the_trucker]

tom nelson is a genius hes like a god of the engine world lol

[@venerealdisease1]

i knew you guys were bag driving my car before i picked it up.

[@mustangfeber]

yes but the speed limit is not 200 mph as far as i know

[@rafaelcosta2468]

Coisa mais linda 💟💟💟

[@4torobt]

good looking car my friend i have on im working on 396 muncie 254 i like how yours sits could you tell me what size rims and backset and tire size i know thatsa old posting if still had it and had time id appreciate it thanks Boyd

[@Sproket-xn5gd]

Kenneth Tu1966 impala red four speed

[@david21708]

questa macchina è una figata pazzesca!!!!!!!grandeeee

[@The05ZX10R]

That thing sounds pissed off. Tom you are a hot rod god.

[@robskolik9368]

"Crumple...crush up"...Interesting distinction. Crumple zones are designed to absorb the impact, instead of the force being absorbed by occupants.But there is a limit. You never said what speed the Impala and Prius would be going in a head on crash. I can bet that the Prius driver would end up wearing the Impala's engine. Mass does play a part in it too. The Impala is twice the weight I would guess.

[@Cognetto]

Perfect...none of that 26 inch donks crap !!!

[@justtony21]

um not sure if you are really in tune with the donk scene but a donk is a impala or caprice that was assembled from 1971-1976. this being a 1966 does not qualify in the least.

[@CamaroAmx]

the 59 impala had an x-frame (last year for it). its a lousy frame design in chassis stiffness and safety. the perimeter frames of later cars were far stronger and held up alot better. plus the 59 Impala they used was a repainted rustbucket (you can see the rust fly off it when it hits).

[@lukeshytalker02]

perfect car

[@blazo1986]

Dean from Supernatural would be inpressed!

[@Adriaantjuh7]

Sweet!! 😋

[@Dr_Xyzt]

It stands to reason that it would sound like that.

[@pacovl46]

Is this a 1967?

[@thomasshaw4371]

Sounds great!!!,

[@I-DGTheOne82]

Man yo lo quiero!

[@bakers724]

You are right 66

[@prostreet55]

@Lillie1986 i don't drive a clio, not sure where you got that i actually have a 66 el camino , and a 55 chevy you might have the wrong person,.

[@terrysibley9636]

Yessir,that's a daily driver.

[@marsdenbalaska784]

I always loved the 65-66' impala body style and with a big block Chevy power plant that large,it'll really scoot!!

[@tracykooken2606]

i am sooo greatful to the owner for NOT " efing " up a beautiful body style in & out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you sir/miss !!!

[@013wolf666]

je suis heureux de de voir des gros block car moi g eu 1 chevy nova ss 69 bigblock454 ls6 tete de 402 580 de lift 10 pour 1 torker port reduce 650 cfm holley shift kit 3.800 4.11 posi traction ca aurait prit des bonne slick sur le quart de mille

[@josephpaige3614]

A+ LOOKS AND POWER AND DRIVABILITY BUT.......NEEDS MORE TRACTION TO PUT THE POWER TO THE GROUND, I WOULD TUB IT FOR SURE.

[@ericjackson4476]

dam thing sounds good

[@JIP83]

this car is like my bank account, not enough but I LOVE IT

[@blanchardcsimiami2762]

Daaaaam crazy sik power flawless ride

[@highvelocity123]

Thats good fun

[@andrewwhalen25]

What a weapon !

[@applemusclecar1301]

Those impalas only weigh 3800 lbs, not 5000 plus lbs.

[@musclebone7875]

Not mines

[@prostreet55]

hell most old cars i like they have REAL metal in them first off, plus you get hit you live, not end up in trunk with your head buried in your ass. wondering what happened, in any old car, for the most you will live. and alot of guys , like myself run a roll cage. for obvious reasons, but i can drive to track and everyday , plus don't need a computer to adjust idle.

[@cgmax9830]

Great looking car but the wheels gotta go,,,,put the Super Sport wheels on an sell the ghetto rims

[@c3dweston]

CG Max It's a pro touring car the axles on the rear end have be modified so stock wheels won't fit anymore

[@macclark4112]

carl weston

[@justtony21]

what exactly are "ghetto rims" anyway?

[@truckdriver6005]

Well to each there own

[@ronaldbertin9455]

I eou D prefer stock rims or Craigar rims , those ones detrack from the whole look

[@Dr_Xyzt]

That Audi commercial on this video was awesome, but honestly, if my dad handed me the keys to an Impala with 700hp, I would forget about prom and go flog the shit out of the car.

[@BeulahLips]

Mistake: This can't possibly be 5000lbs unless you added 1000 lbs of weight to it, at least. The old 60's two door Impalas were all under 4000lbs. Shoot, even a mid 90's Caprice/SS Impala four door is just over 4000lbs... How are you coming up with 5k?

[@mcinkyt]

With that tall deck engine I don't see room for brake booster, unless you go with Hydra Boost

[@TheLizardKing64]

One of the left tail lights is burned out.

[@arturocervantes5026]

Sounds fucking good

[@BNSF1985]

Who needs music when you have a 572

[@Dr_Xyzt]

In the last month, have you sat down where nobody can hear you try and imitate the sound of this thing? I do it at least once a day.

[@marksimpson7477]

it makes noise but it doesn't seem to pull hard.too me anyways

[@tempo2921]

What's the fuel consumption of this car?

[@justtony21]

about half a cup. lol

[@davefiasconaro5681]

Gunther Schwartz If you have to ask go buy a VW👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅

[@tempo2921]

If you have to answer search for another question.

[@gonzalofaviolopezescorcia5889]

have impala 68 ss working hart on tha

[@Funemployment420]

@ExV1rUS Right! Lets see some HD chit mane!!

[@blackmamba8951]

I love those old Chevys. This '66 Chevy Impala looks good, except for those damn DUBs (rims that are 20" and bigger). Get rid of those rims. It should've had an automatic trans. That 572 ci. is probably burning the clutch by now. Other than that, it's a damn good old school car.

[@raymondwagoner4896]

Stupid wheels takes all the sparkle from it..

[@Rjlockwood]

the impala would lose to a prius in a head on collision due to all modern vechicles are now designd with crumple zones so the vechicle can handle a crash where the older vechicles just crush up , if you disagree look up chevrolet 50th anaversery crash test and u will see first hand that if you were in a new vechicle u got a better chance of walking away from a crash

[@rmxrider20032000]

Welp, the cops should be here any minute now. LOL. Nice work.

[@randalbyers4260]

Thr whole set up is grest.

[@PaulJersey]

How about some vintage air? That 572 is so powerful a compressor wouldn't make any difference to it.

[@2all4god]

That is a 66 I believe

[@mikehanks1399]

Gimmie gimme...I need I need!

[@Dr_Xyzt]

Yeah. Big ass burnout marks in the principal's parking spot. Boil the shit out of the tires, so those marks just stay there. 335 section marks...

[@carsbyjeff]

Bad Ass '66!!
