Let's Cold Start the 1960 Impala, and see what Myles Bought for the 1963 Pontiac!

Hey guys! A short one today as Myles and I decided to fire up Tom's old 1960 Chevy Impala, and got talking about potential engine ideas for the old 1963 Pontiac Strato-Chief! Hope you enjoy...

A BIG thanks guy's 👍👀 Shoe🇺🇸

[@charlesatwell6658]

If you give up the 283, you'll need to find a 348 for the Impala! My vote is still a 421 for the Pontiac. It already looks like a Super Duty!

Myles says it all with "It's more fun to buy than it is to fix". Love you guys.

[@BlindBatG34]

My plan for friday is to wire wheel 50+ years of rust, mud and undercoating from my Dart so I can finally start bolting on all of the shiny suspension parts. I should look like a coal miner by lunch time. My wife keeps giving me dirty looks for all of the boxes I have piled up around the house.

"It's more fun to buy than it is to fix." That sentence is the bane of my existence.

Amen brotha.

[@kingcountrytowing]

That throw away statement at the end rings true with all of us

[@highwatercircutrider]

The mid week episodes are always a pleasant treat!

[@garyruark9506]

So far as value goes the 60 Impala hardtop coupe has it. Probably worth fixing up. I'm pretty sure you can buy a lot of sheet metal parts.

[@314299]

It's always a good video when Myles and Tom make an appearance!

[@loumontcalm3500]

I kinda like the six in the Pontiac. 59-60 GM's shared the cowl across the board... dunno about floor pans,

[@Zillustration]

Congrats Miles on scoring the parts needed! Keep adding to the pile as long as you have storage space: the trunk and backseat.

[@strangersound]

The comments for weld the '60 Impala are winning. Just the dash alone makes it worth saving, imo. Definitely an iconic car. ;)

[@urbanurchin5930]

.....same dash that was in a '57 Chevy......

[@monroe7403]

​@@urbanurchin5930 It's not the same. Used for '59 and '60 only.

[@user-oy8zg4mv8m]

This is why I always look forward to Thursdays! Great fun. Thanks!!!

[@65bugnut]

Scott, you need to save Myles. He's turning into a Pontiac lover. I would like to see you work on your old red Ford pickup that you have. The 60 Impala would be nice, but I think that you need a bit of a break from a big project like that.

[@rumrunner1756]

What a fun midweek episode. I absolutely love the 60 Impalas and would just be beside myself if we saw a donor car being dropped off in the yard. It might take years to accomplish a streetable upgrade, but I’ve been here for years and years already and I’m not going anywhere. 👍💯 Myles is also going to be busy and I can’t wait to see the progress. Now I wonder where we are headed on Saturday and what shenanigans Scott has in store for us. 👍💯

[@pdrphil8159]

Sounds like the Pontiac is in for some upgrades. Fantastic ! Small block GM motors have that unmistakable sound ...

[@johnhpalmer6098]

They do indeed, had the 305 in a '78 Chevy Nova. Mind you they weren't the best (cam shaft issues), I hear the 307 was the better of the two, and then the legendary 350... Those are bulletprooof, nearly and were most likely installed in most middle of the road Chevy models back in the day. Love the sound when they start up, unmistakable for the times.

[@mikesonneson2824]

I want to see the Impala restored!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 60 Bubbletop with that killer factory color. Cheers!

[@frankwurth5375]

Just the pick me up I needed tonight! I'd love to have a 60 Impala again. Those cars from that time period were true works of art!

[@dwaingraham1326]

Amen brother

[@sheldondyck8631]

I forgot today was Thursday so this is an unexpected surprise lol. I’d leave the Impala intact and find a 326 if Myles is going with a small block.

[@powellmountainmike8853]

For that dual exhaust, if you want to do it the way we did back in the day, just buy appropriate pieces of straight pipes and bends, and appropriate size mufflers, use your tubing expander and fit it together, and weld it with a "cracker box." Hang appropriately., or, for TRUE authenticity, use pieces of wire coat hanger for exhaust hangers.

[@hdvette64]

I personally love ‘59/‘60 impalas. I have to say they are pretty valuable here in Pennsylvania. They command a high premium for sure. Sure would love to see a big block in that Pontiac 421/455 that would be badass. Thanks for all your work.✌️

[@petervitti9]

About 25 years ago there was a 60 impala in our neighborhood. The owner put a sign in the back window-NOT FOR SALE. hahaha.

[@marcomalo02]

We don't need no stinkin' brakes.

[@Astro-bs4wv]

Weld it up! It’s a good companion to the ‘60 Fury. The right color too.

[@NebukedNezzer]

use a carter WCFB 4 barrel carb if you can get one. or the rochester 4 jet will work.

[@meangreen7322]

Pontiac will be awesome with a small block and 4 speed👍cheers from Michigan. See you Saturday

[@a-do-hia-i-sv9593]

Mouse Smell Feature 😂

[@johna1160]

Myles, you HAVE to put a third pedal in the Poncho. A Saginaw or Muncie stick poking through the floor. Don't let us down, buddy! Scott, if you can't find a donor car near you for the '60 Chev, you might reach out to fellow KZbinr Ryan with Iowa Classic Cars. Pretty sure he's got just what you need. Don't know about north of the border, but repro floors aren't crazy expensive down here.

[@jimrky6062]

Tonight, while watching Cold War Motors, as has been my wont for the past year and some, I realized that there are 2 great days of the week: Thursday and Saturday - because CWM drops a new Episode on those days. Appropriately I have answered the call and become an Agent. Thanks for your continually entertaining and informative videos. CWM - Long may she rust!

[@Onteo1]

That Chevy is a beauty and a great color combination.

[@briantheoldjeepguy6793]

Hi there! The '60 Impala runs great! As much as I'd love to see it get the "60 Fury treatment, I'd rather see either the Hudson or the Kaiser you have put away in the Driving & Legal side of the score card. Myle's '63 deserves to be rowdy & a bit rough around the edges. It looks like plenty of the street racers from my younger days. The days of 120 MPH of engine & maybe 75ish MPH worth of drum brakes. As always, I'm looking forward to Saturdays episode! Stay Safe & Stay Warm!

[@rayeplin3733]

Boy oh boy I would love to see the green car with white walls running and driving looks like a 50s model

[@erichutchins2113]

Thank you for making Thursdays as special as Saturdays. See you then.

[@JorgeDiaz-ly5qp]

If it's three cars worth of welding, not worth it if you did it alone. HOWEVER... if the ENTIRE CWM Gang would congregate and have a communal/derby weld-off - that would be COOL!!! I mean EVERYONE. From your finest patch panel to something Dean would cobble up and everything in between. THAT would be a fun episode. That 283 deserves a little TLC. Cheers!!!

[@michaelnault5905]

Story of my life. My feet fall through the floor, but my Chevy small block still runs like new :-)

[@marcbink5370]

Now we'll have to look for the Rochester 4GC carb that goes on that manifold, - or maybe a Carter AFB. I'll have to see what I still have in stock...(The AFB would be better and easier to tune)

[@danswartwood4580]

Thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers Scott

[@deaconblue949]

So many cars and so little time... I would love to see you get that station wagon street legal with the engine upgrade. Hopefully you can find a donor for the Impala. I'd love to see that plated just to see Tom around. Hi Frankers and Agents!

[@volktales7005]

Of course it would be nice to see the Impala restore some day. But Frankers is staring at the back of the '59 Buick, so you know what she wants fixed up! Love Myles' Strato Chief, those '60's Pontiacs were awesome cars...

[@Zeem4]

I really like the idea of restoring the thing that the dog is staring at the most. I've just started on an epic restoration of a tennis ball and a bag of bone-shaped biscuits.

[@stephenkrzanowski]

Give the 60' Impala the "60 Fury" treatment... Ya know - " just gonna make it a daily driver." 😁

[@billyhord4508]

The Chevy would look cool next to the Fury. Bet Tom would love to see it fixed up.

[@patricklynch1962]

I'd like to see the '58 Plymouth Plaza next in line to get the full treatment. That was the car that got me watching this channel.

[@DaleHodgdon]

Yes! The '60 Impala deserves the full treatment! I've been wanting to see you restore it to the level of the Fury every time you pan across the yard and it comes into view.

[@lazypurplepeeps4393]

I love all the 60's model GM cars, that's what I drove as a teen in the late 70's and early 80's.

[@KiloBravo69]

Scott, please build that killer 50 Buick!!! Who does'nt need more Buick in thier life?

[@leightonfarms4962]

63 Pontiacs are absolutely beautiful

[@GuitarMan22]

The "goin down the road" impala. 👍

[@cdnpont]

Small block for sure in the Strat. With a 4 speed you have a super fun combo. Did my Post 65 Laurentien 6/Pg that way, and no regrets at all. Good luck Miles with whatever you do.

[@sbf_fox2434]

I suggest build whichever cars you love. We all only have so much time and you mention doing the 60 Chev would take the time it would take you to do three other cars. It seems the SM is one you really want to get done, so maybe concentrate on that or whichever project you want to finish first.

[@smhorse]

+1 on the SM. French cars in Canada is why I subscribe to this channel. That and the panel beating/welding techniques.

[@morgansword]

My cousin James was four years older than me and he bought a 60 impala with every bell and whistle. It had buckets, four speed, traction lock, 283, with a full gauge panel and a tack on the console.. he got rid of it when he got married for a car with a automatic.. I wouldn't speak to him for a good while

[@rickrice3221]

“More fun to buy than it is to fix.” First time I ever heard that said out loud, but Miles is right! When I was little our next door neighbor had a ‘60 Bel Air four door the same color as Tom’s - complete with aluminum tape strategically placed on the crusty parts, but something about it I found attractive. Childhood memories aside, please, please finish three Forward Look cars before striking an arc on the Chev! All the best - see you Saturday!

[@chopperguy16]

The Impala would be an epic project like the Fury. I know it’s huge undertaking but would love to see it happen.

[@davidcoudriet8439]

That Tom... he's so freaking hilarious the way he says stuff! Thanks for the midweek episode.

[@beatglauser9444]

I agree:"It is more fun to buy than it is to fix". Famous last words: All my old fullsize cars have their trunks overfilled with spare parts that I will very likely never put on the cars.

[@fatbackjacob5738]

Thursday special always look forward to it.

[@glennreach6930]

I, for one, would love to see the Impala saved. She is so beautiful.

[@philcappellini2820]

I think you should restore the 1960 Impala. It would look awesome next to the Fury. My suggestion would be to buy a few donor cars and convert the Impala into a 4 door

[@TheTubeTube2]

I can smell a Canadian spring! The snow on the hood was just the right consistency. Roll on Saturday!

[@VanWinger]

Well done, somehow I think any respectable Canadian worth his salt wouldn't put a Ponti motor in. Square peg in a round hole if you want the long and short of it.

[@jameshendricks1542]

Fix the Impala !! My brother had a 1960 Impala 2 dr. hard top, it had a 283 four barrel with 3 on the tree, 4:11 rear gears with overdrive. That was a quick, fun car !

[@kentupper8146]

Oh you guys can't let that Impala go by the way side. Please give it the Cold War Motors special treatment. Cheers !

[@teddunphy8369]

you have so many cars onsite that need and deserve attention that you must feel overwhelmed at times

[@davidharris7932]

I like how Scott preserves and respects the history of his vehicles. I own several "muscle cars" from the '50's and "60's but respect the everyday cars also. It is sad that so many people put "lipstick" on cars they consider worthless to build egos. Not everybody's granny was from Pasadena. You guys with the unrestored 4 doors and wagons count too! A car can only be original once! I am sure for lots of grief on this comment!

[@JD2571]

I bet Myles will have that Poncho on screaming the road in a few weeks! Awesome!

[@johnpowell5433]

I think the Impala is well worth considering as a not-too-distant project. It's a desirable car and will fund a chunk of pension/care home when the time comes. Do the valuable ones while your back holds out!

[@philipdecatanzaro1822]

No worries Miles. That 230/250 6 cylinder with the Glide could sell to recoup some of your money. You might have some trouble finding a steering column without the automatic or 3 speed. There was a red car (like yours) for sale here late last fall that I may pick up if it gets listed again this spring.

[@garyschulz9216]

That was a great 2nd attempted Wow!!What? Myles was right it might be easy. Now, will that horizontal snow blower that’s parked in front of that beaut, start just as easy to move that 2ft drift. Good to see you playing in the sunshine for a change. Manifolds? Yes, Nick would be impressed. Sipping on some coffee in our Same old Tom cups while we watch. Pontiac parts in a Mopar, perfect combination. Lots of cheers. Fun to buy? That’s how you get to drive them classics, with some skillful help from Scott. Cheers to you guys and thanks for firing up that ‘Ol Impala.

[@jimmyrogers2731]

Although I love every video you guys do it's the cold start and will it run videos I've been missing. I'm curious if the black 57 Plaza will still start?

[@user-br6lj2qb3f]

YES! Restore the 60 Chev!!! The reward is GREATER than the risk and work. You have a donor, you have the knowledge and tools, and plenty of help! Give Miles the Pontiac 283 for his car. Finding a chevy 348 won't be that difficult. In the end you will have a car everyone will want! My Dad had one, white and black. The 60 Chevy Impala is iconic. The dash and steering wheel alone are works of art.

[@brianbethel9929]

Scott, I never realized that was Tom's Chevrolet. That's a great running engine. Myles' pony tack will be a sweet runner when he gets it all put together. Saturday awaits. Cheers from Wisconsin

[@dsloop3907]

Do a good job ( as I know you will) on the Pontiac, those are beautiful cars.

[@AndyGeesGarage]

If the valve covers for Miles “small block Pontiac” are early 283 they’ll have the offset bolt holes and won’t line up with the bolt holes on later heads but you can buy adapters so you can use the early valve covers. I love the fact that it’s staying Canadian Pontiac it would be super cool to find a “Pontiac” 409 for it. There used to be a guy out west here that was the 409 Canadian Pontiac expert and dealt in parts I just can’t remember his name. Back in Ontario I had a 63 Laurentien that was originally a 409 4 speed car the 409 was long gone and a later 396 in it’s place but I had confirmed through him that it was a 409 car. The police in Ontario also had some 4 door Pontiacs with 409s

[@lenkowalyshen9571]

Hey The Day has come one of my faves 1960 Impala ...LOVE that car man ...1 vote yes get it done man that is a Iconic car very cool

[@eddiebelvedere2400]

Nice that the Chev still fired up. Sounds like it could use a rocker adjustment or maybe a sticky lifter? Myles seems to be fairly clear what he wants. Good for him!

[@stevenzorteau3297]

Fix it !! That’s one of the best Chevy designs there is !

[@angelaracino6236]

Hello Scott and fellow agents, Was nice to see the impala start right up. Please fix that car, like the fury! I’m a Mopar fan, but I’ll buy an impala T-shirt to show solidarity, from your favorite foreign agent from Fort Lauderdale Florida USA

[@rayeplin3733]

That green 50s model with white walls is right next to the implala that green car is beautiful its my favorite

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Scott, so now you've thrown down the gauntlet with a miracle cold start to put all those "will it start" you tubers who make firing up old iron look like hard work! Cool video on a beautiful sunny day! I hope that cherry six in Myles' Poncho finds a worthy home. It will be sad to see it sidelined for an upstart V8! As of '63 they had only been shoving those guzzlers under the hoods of Ponchos and Chevys since '55! Wait until Matt and Jim get wind of what's going on with these late model units! There'll be heck to pay, I can tell you! Great to see Frankers back to her old self! Cheers!

[@oldodger]

Looking at all those small block GM engine parts coming out of hibernation, you know spring is coming....oh yesssss !

[@richmelillo9637]

How sweet that '60 is Scott-but I still wish to see the Forward look Plymouths completed. 1957 up. maybe even add the 56, but you know the way to go. Chevys are everywhere.. Beautiful day there, hopefully we will see the Sun also soon. Rich

[@brianleclerc1593]

That’s crazy it started right up. The low rider guys would go crazy with that 60 Impala.

[@nathanbarden9709]

That ‘60 Impala is a beauty, but if you’re going to rebuild another basket case I’d like to see the car that brought me to the channel: the ‘58 Plymouth Plaza. There are lots of those Chevies already restored.

[@areidskyraider1966]

Hi Scott, I'm glad you are going to use the 283 engine from Tom's '60 Chevy. I'm waiting for the respirator to arrive so I will put it with the clock for Myles's '60 Pontiac. You and Myles did a great work on the brakes for the '63 Pontiac. Tom looks great and is doing well. See you on Saturday. Take care, Cheers!

[@eugenewhite6762]

The fact that the '60 was Tom's is another point in its favor; the comedy from him bitching at you during a restoration would be epic. But like you said, that means multiple others don't get done. Impossible decisions... The Poncho with a 4-speed would be perfection, even with the body as-is. That, the 'port...sign me up for a fleet of rusty 60s/70s iron with just the right chop at idle.

[@martinglmmi784]

That lawnmower cracked me up.. 😂 Spring is coming though. 😅

[@kensherwood4866]

More Friday joy, more progress on the Strato Ch, more parts in Myles' stock of bits, looks like we have plenty of work to do, or rather we get to watch and enjoy! Nie change to have an engine start this week to contrast with the panel work of late, and another opportunity to enjoy some Myles and Tom badinage 😂😂. Chers guys see you all Saturday

[@waynegouin939]

Hi. I'm starting to like Myles Pancho more and more. My friend has a 1963 first year GTO. numbers matching 389 4bbl 4sp. It's mint.

More fun to buy then it is to sell. Part sellers needed. Cool ole Catalina Tom had. Like the idea of using a 283. One of my fav motors. Include Fuel injection n electronic ignition it runs smooth and powerful. Still great on gas with 6 speed auto to stock gears. See you Saturday. Great Shirt by the way.
