That's a 1965 Chevy 2 Nova, I had a two door straight six back in 1987.

I'm glad some of you caught that. When I first saw it, I knew it was an earlier model. My first car was a '67 Nova 4--door with a 250 straight 6. It ran until it could not run any more. 😪😎

"Steering wheel's there" Finally the first thing I can understand and relate too lol, sounds like me when I open my hood "yup engine is there"

[@aaron71]

Getting it running right where it set, driving it out and then the pressure washing... so satisfying.

[@johnivdickie4638]

Great video. I smiled when you drove it out of the barn. Really enjoying your work. My grandmother had a '67 Chevy II in the medium blue metallic. Even with four doors, dog dish hubcaps, and a six cylinder, it was still a really cool car in the 80's when I drove it. Literally the little old lady car with low miles and almost mint condition. My parents sold it when I went away to college in '83 unfortunately. I always regretted that we didn't hold onto that car.

[@Shadetreejr1967]

Definitely a 65! They had 4 lights in the rear and marker lights in the bumper!

[@ramenrob3696]

Def 65. 5 lugs were Supersport

[@williamdeegan7840]

I think that's a pre 66. More like a 62 to a 65. The model years from 62 to 65 were similar. And 66 to 67 were similar. You do a good job on the videos. Very good job.

I just watched you move it out of the garage good job brother I'm glad that things moving for you change the transmission fluid change the oil and turn it up change exhaust if it's bad you got a nice little car that will run for a very very long time they were good 6 cylinder engines. MR WELSH

I miss my 1966 fastback Nova.

[@rupe53]

back in 1971 I bought one of these for a dollar ($1) and after fooling with it in the driveway for an hour I drove it home. The worst part was the frozen clutch. I jacked it up and started it in gear, then slammed the brakes with the clutch to the floor... it broke free! I should have left it stock but the teenager in me said "small block" before I could gather all of my thoughts.

[@jimwelsh1908]

You cannot check the transmission fluid and get an accurate reading unless the motor is running that's how you test it tells you on the dipstick start the car first so you get a true reading on your transmission fluid level good luck brother hope she goes for you. Mr WELSH

When you power wash the motor you should cover the distributor if you forget to do that you could always spray the inside of the distributor cap with starting ether it's the same as starting fluid The Ether will evaporate any moisture they got in the cap if it won't start for you good luck.

Be careful when you add ATF into a cold automatic transmission. That fluid expands as it gets hot so its easy to overfill it. I love those old GM 232 straight six engines. Robust and practically indestructible, a little like the venerable Dodge slant six!

Anytime you get a car if you want to get running do not use the fuel from the tank if it's been sitting for awhile unhook the intake to the fuel pump and run a separate line to a container plastic or gas can you don't want to pump that crap in the motor it's a car has a old gas tank with old fuel good luck I hope it runs but it is definitely not a 1967 or a 1966 it's older good luck with it nice car MR WELSH

And be careful change the master cylinder for the brakes of what you was double Reservoir if you have a bad wheel cylinder you will have zero brakes if you have to reservoirs you will have one of the brake system working front or rear good luck make sure the brakes work that's the first thing you have to do is make sure the car will stop enjoy your car I hope to see you when you're up and on the road with it very nice car I wish I had it.

Probably somewhere on the but the good thing is the exhaust manifold is on the other side but the carb was leaking fuel right on the hot exhaust and steaming so I thought at any moment it would burst into flames and burn the whole car 😂

Transfer the master cylinder over to a dual Reservoir that way you will have front and rear brakes you probably know this but if you have a dual Reservoir master cylinder one goes to the front brakes on goes to the rear brakes if a wheel cylinder goes in front you're still have back brace you know what I'm talkin about good luck I love the car.

In shopping for my first car back in '86, I found a '65 just like it, and considered buying it, but for reasons I can't remember, I past on it and kept shopping around. Did I miss a worthwhile opportunity?

[@jimwelsh1908]

The best way to go about that if the car is in good shape is buy a complete tune-up kit for that car and that year put that in want to separate gas line and bingo is probably going to start up but you won't know how good the engine is until you get it started unless you do a compression test not a 1967 I can guarantee you that make sure you get a condenser to when you buy the points good luck I hope she starts for you and you get some enjoyment from it mr.
