Should we buy it and drive it home... Vice Grip Garage style? 💰

We stumbled upon this 1938 Chevy the other day that runs, drives and is in good condition. We left without buying it but quickly turned around to see if Terry would take us for a drive in it. If it runs good, we're going to buy it and ' Vice Grip Garage ' it and drive it home 💰

I love how you stuck around and treated him like a friend because he really needed it. Thank you Jolene for bringing the good out in Chad, you truly are his better half 🙏 ❤️

[@quikie1984]

So true. This is why they are called our better half's 😁

[@stephcooper5998]

Chad prior to any rescue you had best improve your skillset to include: Engine analysis Carburation Brakes Fueling For abandoned cars that have been sitting for a long time. Then preserve back to new. No chopping, turning into a car/truck art. Only then should you use Vice Grip Garage references. Derek Bieri preserves automobiles from going to the crusher and or parting out. You create your art. Very different preservation purposes.

It’s a bargain at $9000. Yes buy it. And not every old classic should be chopped.

[@mlb3135]

I agree, that is a very good price for that car given the shape it is in.

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

If that deal was in my area, I would have bought it in a New York second !! That car really is in fantastic original shape for the most part.

[@Steve-bl8rx]

Nice old man. You should invite him to your shop one day

[@danielplummer6385]

Chad & Jolene, congratulations on your purchase seems to be a really nice car. Have fun with it and if it was me I would just put the money into the interior and go from there. That is a solid car and a good investment, I think it will only gain value especially being a 2 dr. Maybe have Nathan take a look at it and see if he thinks the stalling problem is an intake leak and if so you have the gaskets already. I would not concern yourself with Vice Grip Garage he has been at it for quite a few years and he is mechanical and also involved in racing now.

[@GixxerKris]

Nothing about this is vice grip style, Derek goes out and finds cars that have been sitting in the weeds for 20 years that don’t run or drive and gets them going with minimal tools.

[@johnw6498]

Absolutely

[@kammyHS]

No kidding!!! Play on words just another way for them to get more clicks to watch the video with all those that love VGG he wishes he was like Derek- he isn’t even on the same page. Geez

what a beautiful sound hearing that car go through the gears, and I love the owner, he seams like an honest human ❤️

[@davejobe6282]

Make a great project for a video build . People have to keep that in mind with Chad . It's a business and you have to have project cores around . I would not look at this as keeping it all original . Have your way with it man . Let's see what's you and your lovely partner can dream up with this old girl . Winter is coming and I'll be in my nice warn house with the fire rolling looking forward to the build . 😎👍

That sucker is NICE! Can't call it Vise Grip style, because you didn't start with non-running junk!

Hey there Chad n Jolene, what a great purchase on the Chev, good to see the old school out n about… And also just wanted to wish Cole the best for his recovery that is available to him … And you guy’s also take care of yourselves … And I just want to say in my native tongue.. KIAKAHA WHANAU AROHANUI In English says… STAY STRONG FAMILY BIG LOVE 💜… And finally RESPECT from AOTEAROA (New Zealand)

[@yorotirb3941]

Yes, definitely! I allways wanted a 41 chev myself but never got one. Nor sure if this is the same body style or not. There was something different went on back then due to wars. Please dont chop or customize, it is too rare, pristine and close to original to lose and you have proven you can recreate whatever you want on your own.

[@pdtech4524]

Nice car, made it home as well, sounds like it just needed a good run to get that low idle and stall sorted. 👍

[@slvrktman7824]

Make sure to check for rusty running board brackets, before buying!

[@kennylavay8492]

that would be an easy fix if necessary, pretty sure he did look at those .

We all hope your son is improving we are thinking of you all at this challenging time.

Wow this is a great car love you are sharing this with us and pretty certain you will buy it . All original is getting very very hard to find and once you have it you can do with it as you wish . Thk you Jolene for the great camera work as always excellent content daily .

[@jimfinlaw4537]

Congratulations on your purchase of an original 1938 Chevy two door. Only thing it really needs is a new interior. I don't think this car needs a hair cut. Doing so would only devalue the car. Original cars like this are very hard to find in this condition. Jolene is doing a great job with the camera. I hope your son is doing better. I been keeping him in my thoughts and prayers.

[@jimcoplan9502]

DO NOT do anything to this time capsule other than refresh the paint. Otherwise, don't invest in it.

A great investment at the least. You and Julian will have lots of fun looking after it.

Love the old Chevy! I think that is a limited edition, the long back window is kinda rare. You get that exhaust leak fixed it will run like a different car. You also have a vacuum leak. and I don't think the setting on the points is 40. (too wide) enjoy

I have to agree with a couple guys here, Derek from @ViceGripGarage buys stuff that isn't running and makes it happen so he can drive it home. Nice name drop though and good luck with the new car.

[@ronripplinger5235]

It’s a good buy at $9000 but is too good to chop. Keep this one original.

A very fair and respectful negotiation. Beautiful car. Good job!

[@hankkline7300]

I remember my dad had a 39 Chevy just like that. Foot starter pedal, hood went up from each side, vacuum wipers, had to let off the gas when going up hill. No turn signals, backup lights, radio, no outside mirrors etc.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Man, this is a great car for a driver and just needs a clean up and maybe minor details, I'd rock it mostly as is! Super cool!

All that I can say is this the you got the car from a honesty person, and in its very original condition. The stalling is not much of the issue, except cleaning of the fuel line ,carburetor and tuning and there you go off with beautiful engine.

Would rather see you spend the money for a mechanic to do the Thunderbird, an interior for the Thunderbird, paint and interior for the last two classic you bought. Mechanical ie steering etc for the Doodle bug, as well as windows and interior. Maybe get the Elvis car running.

[@williammit1332]

Hi Chad, in the late 70's I had a 39 Chevrolet businessmans coupe on my used car lot in Youngstown Ohio. My Mom called and asked if I could take my great grandmother to her doctor appointment. I decided to take the 39 Chevrolet. Grandma was so happy that it was easy to get in and out of.

[@whichfinger]

There's an old, old axiom in the collectible car field: A car is only original once. If you paint it, it's no longer original, it's restored. Same for upholstery, engine, or anything else on the car. NTTAWWT, it's just that "original" and "restored" are not the same. 😉

[@Estabanjuan]

Sure would be nice if we could hear your conversation while he was driving . Sound was terrible the whole time. Since this has happened before, it seems like maybe Jolene could do something about the mic.

[@stallion1369]

Yeah she's good at videos but does poorly when it comes to audio.

[@Rustyhalligans]

Absolutely drive that shit home. It’s a sweet ride

[@kammyHS]

Chads just amazed when the old guy shifts the car as it drives down the road because Chads cars don’t ever go down the road. They get pushed to storage. 🙄

This is a car that is worth restoring. With a nice paint job, redone interior, and chrome that pops, would make this a very appealing car.

[@RonNorman-qu4qz]

I would paint that car Ivory White black tinted windows with the extended exterior visor at the top of the windshield with a really nice set of spoke wire wheels with the big white walls and they make a set of long tube Chrome air horns. There's a lot of options that came with that car that you Don't see. Simply because these cars have lost their popularity throughout the years

[@grantscrimgeour1848]

Sounds like "wants" are overtaking "needs" again. Make sure you do due diligence to a greater level this time and if you do buy it accept the fact that there will be money needing to be spent on "unexpected" repairs. It is an old car and old cars tend to need a lot of maintenance.

[@bobpadilla4077]

I am glad you both made up your minds to buy the car, I am into old cars.MYself I would not chop this car, you have a piece of history that many people would like to have. Your are very fortunate to come across this car in this day and age. The only thing I feel sad about is the gentlemen that sold you the car, I am sure that it hurt him to sell it. At least he is glad to sell it to you. Take care Bob from Fresno, calif.
