AMAZING FIND!!! TWO 1959 Impalas Rescued! | Will They RUN AND DRIVE After 25 Years???

[@superhet7281]

It’s alive….it’s ALIVE!!! Even though she’s a rust bucket, she’s still a 2-door hardtop Impala and really sharp! Hopefully someone will restore that beauty.

[@IowaClassicCars]

i think thats the plan!

[@swhod2190]

Remember these cars when they were new and I was just a kid. Uncle drove one. How the time flies! Good to see you appreciate them. Good video!

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks man!

@@IowaClassicCars Ryan do you have an Instagram and do you also sell some of these cars

[@gregfair1749]

I love the 59 impala!!! One of the most beautiful cars ever produced!!! Wish I could afford one! I like the white one because of how mechanically sound it is. But it definitely needs a lot of body work!!!

[@markhoffman9674]

Awesome that you saved another 2 59 Chevrolet impalas! I hope you or someone keeps it running and makes it road worthy! I would get the brakes working and clean it up inside and out. It would make a fun project car to keep from being scrapped. Good luck with future endeavors. Take care.

[@IowaClassicCars]

oh no they wont be scrapped!

[@ronbunker5778]

It's amazing how well that car fires up. Runs really good.

[@mattbonacci4950]

I'm so happy to see these old american cars get back on the road again and get fixed up

[@ronlynch7744]

The 59’ still running with the indestructible 283 motor. 😎👍🇨🇦

[@edwardberwind8544]

Finally you scored a 2dr hardtop with a good body . I would completely strip the white one and swap the green body and make a great car again.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Oh yea ive scored a few in my lifetime

[@georgeorwell6420]

My family had a 1959 sedan ,six cylinders in Cuba. I was an amazing reliable car.

I hope you're going to do a body swap on it even if you don't paint them or do any bodywork to them!

both have vin issues so a body swap wont be that easy

Put those two Impalas together and you'll have a nice car. Good find.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Glad you like em!

[@michaelroucoulet3294]

sweet!! i love the 59 impalas, i had a 59 impala 4 door, with a 283 small block, back in 1992. all original. 118.000 miles.

[@jamesthompson8008]

That's a good score there! Hope you can make the project work, but if they move on, is also why you're doing what you do. Think my fav is the 69 Biscayne, but I'm a sucker for those....

[@IowaClassicCars]

I think ill be able to

[@m42037]

68 was the last cool year, the 69 inside is the same as the 70 the grandpa cars.

[@DudesWithWrenches]

Heater delete thats someone that was counting there pennies when they wanted to buy an impala

[@IowaClassicCars]

Yes very odd

[@obywatelcane6775]

Maybe that car is originally from a warm state like Texas, the driver didn't plan to drive in winter or the vehicle was supposed to be lighter, "sporty" :-) Who knows? It was 60 years ago.

[@DudesWithWrenches]

It definitely represents a different time when the phrase standard options was not a slogan yet. Also picking out the exact car for what you wanted to spend was as easy as checking the boxes.. You have to love the story those options represent

[@MortskeRepair]

If you run into gam gams satellite dish she's gonna be pissed!

[@IowaClassicCars]

Settle down Mortske 🤣🤣

[@oldschool6345]

So what made the seller give up on it? Seems finding the donor body would be the hardest part of that equation. Finding that kinda condition on a car that isn't already going to use it is pretty tough. Thanks for sharing

[@IowaClassicCars]

he was a ford man and had other projects

[@danswartwood4580]

Thank you for sharing

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

I'd call that one 59 with some assembly required!.

[@tedcorey3054]

Cool stuff . The white car probably didn't fit under the carport all the way and the back stuck out .

[@stevecr8934]

Probably drive from Iowa to Arkansas right now. Hopefully the green body has body ID plate to use. 1 nice classic out of 2 is not bad.

[@darrinpeterson6318]

Hi Ryan. The green two door is pretty nice donner car. Love the white one going on a ride with ya.I love restoration on old cars and pickups. Always loved old GM cars and trucks. I’ve been a mechanic for years. If lived a little closer. I could come help ya. My father owned a body shop years ago. I have would help. Learned body and paint work. Always did want get an Faff sowing machine. Try my hand at upholstery.

If the green one has a vin tag transfer everything from the white one instead of having to cut. The green one seems to be in very good shape.

Heater is not a delete, it was an extra-cost option until 1966 when regulations required defrosters and it was finally made standard equipment.

[@racecar2933]

I figured you had a 59 hardtop. A shame that the Vin tag is no longer on the car. I would be careful on what you do with that car. Just because it no longer has a Vin tag doesn't mean it's a parts car. One thing I've learned in my days, is there's always another way for everything! Don't jump the gun and destroy that car!

[@IowaClassicCars]

Yeah i wont. I can get a vin, just takes some hoops to jump thru

[@racecar2933]

Good. Plan has changed a bit. Not going to Clint's on the 11th, but the 25th. I'll get you pictures then of all his '59 stuff.

Just because it's a Florida car does not make it a rust bucket. If it lived on the beach then yes it will be rusty. If you live 5 miles inland you won't have much rust at all.
