WILL IT START?!? 1964 Impala Rescued From the Dead - Abandoned for 20+ Years!

SUBSCRIBE! If my channel gets to 10k subs by the time I get my 1972 Datsun running (hopefully March, 2021), I will start the Impala restoration next!
I decided to have some fun with this one and see if the engine in my '64 Impala would turn over, or even run after it has been left for dead. I would have loved to put it in gear and move under its own power, but it has NO brakes because I had to smash them to bits in order to free it from it's muddy grave.

[@louissaalbach5412]

I bought a ‘64, SS in Ember red, black interior and a 283 for $3,000 new. I foolishly sold it in ‘68. 47 years later I bought a fully restored ‘64 SS in the same color but with a white interior. It has a 327. When I show it I tell the admirers “It’s a car so nice I bought it twice.” I am reliving my youth. I always view all ‘64 restoration videos. So glad I found yours.

[@tinygaragefab]

That's amazing! Thanks for sharing your story. I wish they could all be so affordable and easy to find these days.

[@Texas-Chris]

The Interior of that baby is beautiful !!! It will look good if you choose to do more to it. Thank you for your service Sailor !!!

[@tinygaragefab]

I LOVE the interior of this car. It has faded a tiny bit over the years, but I will bring it back to it's full glory. I'm even going to go with red headliner and red carpet, so it's going to be crazy inside. And it is my pleasure to serve the country. A few more years to retirement, then I can really get to cranking out KZbin content!

[@ceciliaescobedo5624]

Extremely educational. I have an 88 ford ranger that ran like a champ for a long time. It conked out and I left it parked a couple of years. Now this video inspired me to get my truck back on the road again. Thanks for the lesson👍

[@tinygaragefab]

That's awesome! I'm so glad that I can be an inspiration to the people out there. It is a humbling experience for sure!

[@gwolfe1231]

Nice to see a KZbinr who knows how a points-style ignition works.

[@79tazman]

Really? conventional ignition is the name for "Points style ignition" anyway they are real simple but I find it funny how many youtubers think they will get spark without cleaning the points before even trying to turn it over I see them replace the spark plugs and wires cap rotor before cleaning the points when a engine can run on old wires and plugs cap rotor but will never run until the points are cleaned.

[@slipsonic809]

I've had a 64 Impala since I was 17 in 2000. Crazy to think that impala sat in the same spot for all the years I've been cruising and working on mine. I've painted mine twice over the years and worked on it in the driveway. I never had the money or space to really do a full restore but I've kept it on the road, driven it at least a few times a year, and it has been a daily driver off and on for a good chunk of that 22 years. I finally have some land, a shop I built last summer, and a decent job so I'm just about to tear it all down and do a full frame restoration. At this point that car is a part of me and I will never get rid of it. It's been there through so many good times and bad, I can't even imagine someone else owning it.

[@tinygaragefab]

That's awesome! I'm like that with my 1957 Chevy pickup. I've had it since 1996! It's in the shop now getting some CRAZY upgrades. It will be a fully featured series on my channel, so follow along if you can. For now, feel free to check out my 1972 C-10 Shop Truck build to get a feel for how I build my rides.

[@leonardprue5439]

My first car was a "64" Chevy Impala with a 283 engine. Bought it for $1 back in the early 70s from my sister-in-law. Had to bondo the areas in front of each door. Also had to replace a motor mount when the fan kept hitting the shroud. Wish I knew where it was today. You never forget your first.

[@tinygaragefab]

That's awesome! Thank you for sharing your story! I hope to make some good stories with this one of mine, beyond digging it out of some weeds and making it run for a few minutes.

[@antonfarquar8799]

The 1964 is imho the best looking Impala ever made.

[@tinygaragefab]

I have been a fan of most all of the 60's Impalas, plus the 58 and 59 with the horizontal fins. It's hard to pick a favorite!

[@michaelwpaulin4876]

I agree completely

[@79tazman]

the car is a 64 been sitting on grass with weeds growing around it of course the car will have rust plus the egr valve gave it away that it was not even close to being the OG engine EGR was never on engines until 73 but it don't look that bad and the interior or seats anyway look great it's a nice find

[@tinygaragefab]

The rust isn't really a huge issue for me. My channel is a fabrication and car channel after all, so metal work happens here often.

[@stephenandloriyoung5716]

Thanks for the video. When the 69 Fords were out, I was in a dealer showroom when a white/red interior 64 Impala arrived and was traded in. I bought it before the engine cooled off - it was quite a step up from my 63 Ford Cortina.

[@tinygaragefab]

Very cool! I can't wait to get this on the road, but I'm severely limited by budget at the moment.

[@INUN0TAISHO]

That was fun! Brought back a LOT of memories of when I worked on my '79 Impala. Bought it for $600 and drove it all over creation. Learned most of my engine knowledge in or under that car. There's nothing like an eight cylinder when one engine mount breaks. THAT was very exciting! I tell so many stories about that old beast.

[@tinygaragefab]

That's awesome! I can't wait to drive mine and collect stories to tell!

[@joseguerra3989]

I'd like to see this impala on the road.

There is no way that would be sitting in my driveway for 3 years, much less 3 minutes! I’d be all over that like white on rice! However, I can talk all that smack I want, because I have a 59 Apache sitting in my driveway now that has been there for several months, but I am working on it. My 1st car was a 1964 SS Impala!

[@rjmiller5758]

I'm a LA transplant from good ole Michigan so anytime I see someone trying to rescue a Chevy product from the early to mid-60's I'm glued to the screen! Pops worked in a GM factory in Bay City, Michigan when I was a kid. This was after he worked at the local Chevrolet dealership and was their Corvair man. After the Corvair's manufacturing run was ended by GM my pops opened up his own repair shop specializing in Corvair repairs. He repaired just about anything GM but he was the Corvair man in town. My first car was a 64' Corvair for $25 bucks and hauled out of a farmer's front field after sitting on four flat tires and a blown motor for several years. While I still didn't have a driver's license my best friend did so we got four tires that held air from pop's shop and Corsair’s a good portable hydraulic jack and got the Corvair rolling again.... enough to tow rope it the back way to pop's shop. Pops and I spent the next year making the car look brand new again (his contribution for all those summers I worked at his repair shop). Luckily pops knew how to paint cars also. Added some carpet dye and scrubbed the rest of the interior and even my little Burgundy colored 4-speed Corvair Monza got me dates in high school. Of course, a 64-Impala would have had better bragging rights especially up against my best friends 67 Camaro! That same best friend had to up the game even more by buying a 69' convertible Camaro a few years later.... that he still has 45-plus years later. It now sits in "his barn" for the last 20-years in desperate need of a total restoration. He claimed he would do that before he turned 60.... well, he missed that deadline. We are now trying to convince him to just pay to have professionals do a total restoration for him.... he can afford it now! If he waits any longer, we will all need walkers just to get up close to the car let alone drive and ride it! Looking forward to more of your stories about rescuing man’s second-best friend!

[@tinygaragefab]

That's an awesome story! My dad told me stories growing up about how he and some friends swapped a 283 into a Corvair!

[@Bluesrestoration]

[@Fresh-tw7ev]

You have a good voice. You announce your words better than most. You can do this with no music at all.

[@tinygaragefab]

Thanks, but I will continue to use music. I'll leave out music with lyrics going forward on this car. Seems to be a hot button. With no music, there would be a lot of hyper-fast chipmunk noise, or nothing at all...and that would be weird or boring. These videos are more for entertainment than education, after all.

[@skn9895]

I love the 58-64 full size Chevys. I've got a '60 Biscayne 2-door and two '63 Impalas, one of which is an SS. Lots of fun!

Check out my newest 'Will it Start" video. It still has music, but it is all low-level background stuff with no lyrics. The ASMR stuff doesn't really work well when I have to speed up a clip by 8x or 20x. Therefore, I prefer to mask the 'Chipmunk Noises' with music.

[@EuropaMan]

It's time to restore this old Chevy. The interior looks great. Nice work getting her running. You know your stuff! Enjoyable video. Please keep her white with red interior. She deserves to be restored. She was waiting for you to bring her home.

[@tinygaragefab]

Thank you for the kind words! Interior will stay red, with extra red, actually. I'm going with a red headliner. Exterior will probably be silver, but I may stay with white. When it gets down to color, I'm a bit indecisive at times.

pour marvel oil into the cylinders before cranking over from sitting that long. change motor oil, using zinc based oil and zinc additive. pull distributor and use a prime tool with drill to prime the motor for 6 minutes or so. replace base gasket under the distributor, while its out check vacume advance canister to see if it still works, replace vacume line. Replace weights and springs, moroso kit available cheap. make sure weights move on their mounting pins. Have your timing light and sears dwell meter set up and ready. Mix 50/50 of trans fluid and accetone to start soaking those master cylinder bolts and brake line.

A '64 Impala would be a good car to do that to. However, THIS '64 Impala will be getting a bit different treatment. Modern engine with EFI, cruise control, air conditioning, and overdrive. I'd rather have comfort than all-out performance with this car.

[@ricardofierro7041]

My advice would be that when replacing the flat tires NOT to put the car back down in the same holes where it sat for years. I always fill in the holes in the ground with rocks, dirt , more rocks THEN let the car down. If the brakes and drums aren’t rusted together it might roll right out. Thanks

Awesome. Kicking myself for selling my 63 Belair back in 98. Hard pressed to find a fully customised top and bottom tubbed 63 pro street anywhere.

[@tinygaragefab]

Thanks! Since I was a kid listening to Dre and Eazy-E, I've wanted a '64 Impala. Mine won't be on 13" Dayton's and hydros, but it will be an amazing car when I'm done.

so nice so good I miss car

[@mikeellis2944]

Great video. Let me give you a tip. Are used to have a car like that when I was a kid and I brought it back from the dead. If you put a new oil filter on it +3 quarts of cheap 30 weight and add 2 quarts of ATF let it idle add about 800 RPM for a couple of hours then drain the oil out it will clean all the garbage out of the inside of that motor don’t forget to re-change your oil filter when you put a new oil in it

[@tinygaragefab]

I know all about different oil and additive mixes for old engines. The ATF mix is mostly used for degumming sludge from tiny orifices, like hydraulic lifters and such. But alas, this engine isn't meant for greatness...it will be pulled and discarded. In its place will be something more modern and better at everything.

Restore her . She is beautiful. I just subscribed to your page. I just found your site.

[@tinygaragefab]

Restoration is in planning phase. Hopefully I'll be able to get her in the garage this summer.

If you think you just have to have music use something without lyrics. Before running anything that has sat that long a little Marvel Mystery Oil in the cylinders and down the carb will help the rings and valves. Put it down the carb while spinning it over with no spark plugs. It will burn out pretty quick when it starts.

[@tinygaragefab]

I wasn't too concerned with mystery oil or really anything else on this engine. It's a smog-era 350 with awful heads, and I don't have much love for it. I will pull the pan when it's out and if it is a 4-bolt main, I may keep it around. Otherwise, it's a boat anchor.
