Forgotten Barn Find Camaro First Start In 21 Years - Vice Grip Garage EP29
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- I bought a 1979 Chevrolet Camaro sight unseen. Once again it's way up north by the Canadian border. It's been sitting in a barn for 21 years and appears to be in decent overall condition thanks to sitting in a relatively dry environment. I do eventually get it started after some fixin on it. And of course, I have to take it on a test drive.

The 79' Camaro is back SOON! Part 2 coming shortly - if you're not subscribed be sure to do that now and ring the bell for notifications!
Well this seems like a great idea!
I agree! 😎
383 and a crash-box conversion!
I actually just picked up a 79 camaro for myself recently. So of course i had to come back and watch the video of you getting yours
Can't wait!...that's one clean project!
Anyone else see the arcing behind the distributor in the beginning? Wondering if a Guy found it, have to watch and see :-)
yup
Heard it, then went lookin for it.
yeah I saw that too. Maybe a gash in a spark plug wire. A little electrical fire never hurt nobody.
George Camp see it
I saw it right away
your humor is literally the best i have seen on UA-cam.
wow, THANK YOU!
@@ViceGripGarage It's true -- other than professional comedians on their youtube channels -- you are the funniest youtuber that I've ever heard. It does help to be a gearhead to get the comedy as my wife doesn't understand why I'm laughing many times at the dead pan delivered hilarious comments. Thanks for the great videos and all the laughs Mr, Vice Grip Garage!
love your easy going attitude sometimes I split my sides laughing, I wonder if you know how funny you are sometimes I thing your channel is he greatest. As well you are very smart in all you do.thanks for making these videos
amazing
Nooo it’s nelk but this guy is a gem
This is probably the best “car guy’s” channel in the world. Honest “engine!”
Facts!
👍👍👍
The real deal!
😀 too funny!
Omg I think we all just wanted to reach right through the screen and tell ya where the arking was coming from 😬
I thought the same thing.
A guy will tell ya it’s at 26:10
I was doing the same
Yeah, was watching the lightning occuring and it was like a horror movie "turn around"
haha ye
Love coming back to your older videos every now and then. Classic stuff.
He was so slim back then.
@@dunsborough4921 and more Cars did die, now the Survival Rate is way Higher :D
As hilarious as a Guy is, I'm honestly learning so much from him about basic car mechanics. This dude needs his own PBS car repair show!
This is the best pitch I've ever heard regarding VGG.
Screw pbs
UA-cam probably pays more anyway
I agree
Nah youtube is better than pbs
I love your channel brother. My only complaint is this: in 2014 I lost a really good friend to a freak accident. He was in the hurry to change his oil on his mustang and just used a floor jack, like the one you used. It failed on him while he was under the car and he basically died a pretty slow death as the car crushed the life out of him. His son found him about 15 minutes too late. Be safe bro. It's not worth it. Jack stands save lives.
Don’t mean to bring anyone down,I lost my mother to covid last week, so I’m on compassionate leave,found your channel Derick, made me smile and chuckle when I really needed it most, thanks for all your Videos sir 👍
Heads up
May God Bless you and your family. I’m sorry for your loss. Thank you sir for your service and sacrifice to our nation.
“I don’t like shiny stuff, it scares me”.... classic lol
Chrome don’t get you home
That's too bad son.
I rolled!! A guy cracks me up!!
I cant believe it! i owned that car back in the eighties! THAT CAR. To funny, was a nice ride back in the day. the paint is not original, it was repainted after an accident i got into. im a car guy and you just know your previous cars, and geographically the location makes completes sense. hope you put back in shape, the stories i have with her are
priceless LOL!
I’m surprised he didn’t respond to you, I would think he would be interested in the story.
jessepitt yeah same here
Cause a guy may have done a car fax on it and knows the other guy might be lyi.... Um mistaken
@sideways through the kitchen door. Please email me at vicegripgarage@gmail.com. I'd like some history, so I can unload this car factually.
sent you your email, its in my name not my channel name.
We can't wait to see this video!!!! Everyone on the team is SOOOO excited!
Just subscribed to the Gunk site as well. Hope that helps a feller.
I hope you keep hooking a Guy up. Those wipes looked like they worked well.
Sponsor this man!
Appreciate ya'll watching!
@@wihamaki Thanks for the subscription!
"Is it gonna work?......Probably not." Always cracks me up.
Is it just me or is this guy like a younger Red Green
Great videos man!
Son of Red Green
Have to agree!
If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy
Keep your stick on the ice!
I agree!!
Absolutely hilarious, this guy could do stand up. Had me laughing the whole video
appreciate that!
He could indeed, but he's even better doing the humour WITH the car content. Marvelous! Keep it up.
@@ViceGripGarage I just started watching a week ago you’re wicked funny love the channel
i mean, what else does a guy neeed but first gear in an automatic LOL
Is that Cutlass behind that Camaro for sale ???
check the vacuum to the transmission. Any time they won't come out of first gear, always check vacuum.
And the cheap little accumulator it’s hooked to.
and if its not that, its the governor in the transmission, easy fix. just a little round cover on the side, pop it out pull the governor and see if the shaft moves when you push the weights. if not, replace springs.
Dave's RV Channel yea i thought that too. But after a while they made that electronic too.
that and the modgulator valve, adjust the timing a little, i personally wanna see if he can get the AC to actually work XD very hard to find a camaro with working ac like that
another thing, with the gas in the back under the trunk, i found that to be a luxury at the gas pumps getting the choice to either side of the pump is pretty convenient
My grandad used to work on old Lincolns and Oldsmobiles and Buicks out in his carport. I was little, so watching him study and scrape on spark plugs and spray random chemicals down the carburetor was wizardry to me. Thanks to Derek, I can now tap into the Old Ways. Thanks man, you're a talented teacher.
“Nailed it ohh sure didn’t” haha love your humor😂
Thanks for watching Jon
A guy just found your vidyas and I'll be dipped... found new favorite UA-cams show. Fella had to subscribe to such facktree quality.
A guy just can't help it...These videos R like potatoes chips, and I'm Rosie O'Donnell, and just can't stop eating ...
"She comes right up on a guy" 😂😂😂
surprised a feller a little
Do you still have it
I've been binge-watching for two days. A guys found the best channel on the interweb!
Me Too!
Four days binging here!
I love your lingo for things, like direction selector and air maker 😂
The first few minutes, it was funny, the next few minutes, it started to get annoying ... and I cant tell you about the last half hour, because it got on my nerves so much I just stopped watching.
Thanks for trying Shannon, I'm not for everyone
Glad you enjoy Grant! Thanks for watching
He's 100% a Dad and you can TELL. Love it.
You should've poured some of that there sea foam in the transmission. You don't even have to pour it in. That stuff is so good that you can just pop the hood and chuck the bottle somewhere in the vicinity of the dipstick, and that thing will shift like a new one. Lol
"I think I'm in his bushes, OH SH!t" Love this channel. I'm curious what he sold this car for? Seeing Derek work on stuff has lit a fire in me to get out there and work on my own junk. Seems a lot more fun with the right attitude.
I totally agree.
Is this the first time he’s cussed on this channel?
Sometimes, even a cool dude realizes that he's about to run over another fellers shrubbery, and might let a naughty word slip out. Rare, very, very rare event!
@@aijeMnairdA first one I’ve heard and I’ve spent hours here 😂
4:25 This had me on the floor, I wasn't expecting it. :)
It's like roadkill... just better and more relevant.
And free
Some folks, just never learn. 1st tool out the box would be a trailer. Nothing fancy but makes a roller out of Purdy much anything. A feller shouldn't pay full price for a half way home rig. Oh well at least it's a bow-tie product,. If that means much..
Only Fomoco & MOPAR Parts don't fit the first time. Real well anyway. Good luck with your new found migraine.
yeah and no endless supply of free parts!
still have never watched road kill
I don't do Roadkill anymore. It's good entertainment when it's free. I'm not paying for that shit though. I like this channel way better!
"It's got all the seats... this is a 'Goin' to Town' rig!" LMFAOx2!!
Boy! A guy sure has a mighty fine barn! And I ain't kidding ya!
I'm not a paper salesman, but a typical sheet of paper is 8.5"x11". This is the absolute best channel on UA-cam. I'm always asking people if they watch it, and if not, I tell them they should. Lol
Nicest drive shed I've sever seen!
Thats what I came here to say
That building is wood!!! It's perfectly radiused and looks like it's mae from scrap pieces!! That building is crrrazy....firreal...
Just so everyone knows I pass by it all the time. It’s a great building. He’s friends with my uncle!
Nice wood barn.
Guys has got some absolutely BEAUTIFUL machines
At about 27:00 when he says he “hears arching” look to the left of the distributor when he tries to start it. You can see it.
Yeah, passenger side at the firewall, open spark.
@@whataguy7032 perfectly legit. Let it ride...lol
Extra illumination. Safety feature.
Thats factory
strong coil, I could hear it ha ha
Really entertaining, because you feel like you're right there doing it with him, and every remark he makes are ones you've made yourself...lol!
a guy comes home one day and watches 3 videos and goes to work the next day and asks his boss to hand him the digical reader. Then a guy comes home unexpectedly to fill out applications
A guy could probably get unemploymenent for that.
Ah I got it wrong. Called it digimal. Still have my job; will try digical reader next time.
dang! a guy's gotta wait another 27 hours, Friday is gonna drag by now- but glad i got this to look forward to
14:01, mouse notices it’s home has moved and comes running back towards it. 😂
That's amazing. Good catch.
I can't see it. Where should I be looking
When I was 16, I destroyed 3 transmissions in just under 2 years. What I learned though, was that in the GM automatic transmissions, reverse goes first. It takes twice as much pressure as the forward gears. So, if the transmission is starting to go out, you'll lose reverse first.
So... when taking an older car for a test drive, put it in reverse and punch it. No problems in reverse, and she's fine.
What if I have reverse and it works as it should, but when in drive you have to bring the revs up between 1200-1800 before it begins move? This is what's happening in my 1980 Firebird formula 4.9 with th350
@@StevenBlack2013 if it's a turbo 4.9 it may have something to do with the turbo
@@flyingace5057 it's a naturally aspirated 4.9
@@StevenBlack2013 If you don't get reverse, the pump is shot.
If you have reverse, but 1st is slipping, the clutches are bad.
a guy just found this channel and watched too many videos. so thats the perfect amount !
Dang! l love watching these shows! makes a feller smile!
Thanks for watchin Greg
Great channel.
Just stumbled on your channel while flipping through out of boredom.
I happen to be gonads deep in a 78 z28 "rebuild" and this and the 79 dodge pick up you did, are making my day.
The wife and the money suckers are gone for the night so I get the tube to myself for your quality infotainment.
Thanks for the good work and hope to see much more.
You are truly a mechanic after my own heart.
Part mechanic part MacGyver, part, adventurer and part give it to Jesus er.
Keep the air sucking and the fuel flowing and the lightning flashing. God bless and great channel.
It's like I'm watching an episode of The Red Green Show.
needs more duct tape !
Yes. Just like Red Green. Funny stuff , yet informative.
But does Red Green offer precise, digitalised statistics for everything?
Im Mexican but lived in Canada 2003 2006 and loved that show, by the way am I the only one that saw the BIG spark arch jumping on the fire wall behind the distributor when the engine is running?, hehe.
I started watching him yesterday and was thinking the same thing!! Maybe a long lost brother! Pretty entertaining though, I enjoy watching "hasnt ran in years" vids and he makes them interesting.
The ol’ direction selector (steering wheel) LOL!!! HAHA
😎😎
Tiger Paws were heavily advertised back in the 70s. It didn't die, you killed it.
70s 80s and 90s
Found the channel after cleetus and now hooked in these times decent honest to goodness people are what we all need.
"It says its got science in it" Good enough for me!
I was lmao...
A guy in Canada thanks you for almost making our country bigger, and yours' smaller by one stone....
A guy in Canada is truly thankful for all your vids.
This guy has a new subscriber!!! He gives off a Bob Ross Vibe but for cars lol
Bob Ross meets Red Green.
GoldenX_XThumb damn I jus commented that😂
Haha all the nick names. Heard a new one in this. Steering wheel = direction selector 😂. Absolutely love this channel, Derek. Makes me laugh every time.
I like your question "How much air pressure in dry rotted tires?..... all of it" I love it lol !! I remember buying the ole tiger paws!!
I'm surprised she held air!
I am learning so much from your tutorials, specifically in the field of health and safety. I'm adopting your policy of always doing "the right thing" - it has universal application.
“Transmission...*takes a whiff* that smells like burnt French fries and hair” 😂😂 you sir are the funniest guy I’ve seen on here in a while
and licks the oil...
We have to have it in Iowa
I’m a rare lady that loves car videos. You make me chuckle as well, very entertaining! New sub here...🤗
That's awesome, thanks for subbing Linda! I really appreciate it!
Somebody should stuff you and put you on display
Your next shirt should be "Yeah! Way too much...Perfect!"
discussion is happening!
@@ViceGripGarage dude you and zipties and bias plies should make a few videos together thatd be bad ass I think my two favorite youtubers in one video Makin us all laugh like hell
Your videos put a big smile on my face each time ! Love it. You're funier than alot of comedians...love the humor. Keep it up !
Thanks feller, appreciate that
Love that I can see the ignition sparking in the video! LOL
I think i've watched this 3 or 4 times, makes me laugh and i feel happy. I just wish the rest of the world did the same.
After 3 minutes and 48 seconds tying cable together ... “Is it gonna work? Probably not.”
Hilar i o u s !!! 😂
At 27:10, the red wire to the left of the distributor is the arc....
I felt like I was watching blues clues, I was pointing it out and yelling lol
Ya think so inspector,😄
Thank you....I'll be searching for it in your post. There probably needs to be a better way to index all of your content......
Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do. You have really inspired me to get my old 69 c10 back on the road, keep up the great work.
That is awesome!
@@ViceGripGarage I literally just put the spare on the flat corner of my 01 Ranger drug it out of the weeds and parked it next to my 97 Thunderbird. I'm hoping the v8 crawls out of the Tbird and kicks the v6 out of the Ranger tonight when everybodys asleep and takes up residence! Thanks for the encouragement!
@@ViceGripGarage A guy is just following this thread.....You Sir have a Great Heart and God Bless You and your Family.....Rusty and Not ! Im in Europe....we dont have too many of those Old and Beautiful Works of Art around here ! Best and Funniest UA-cam ever !
Everything is just kinda sprinkled in!🤣👍🏼
I just spent my entire lunch hour watching this video. Best 45 minutes I have spent in a long time. Keep the videos coming!
Live in ny and definitely need the converters!!!
"how much air pressure in a dry rotted tire?.....all of it"
my life in 12 words😂
all seems fine
@@ViceGripGarage Probably...
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I think I heard you swear for the first time 😂 39:40 when you almost took her into the toolies.
A car that old and has no road cancer is a find indeed.
Dry Barn stored.
feller just realized that derrick was a few cold snacks lighter back in the day 🤣
You’re narration is fantastic. Funny and it feels like I’m there.
Alot of hand Signals man 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I used that their same stuff on my rusted out 1968 Camaro it made the rust come back to full metal I’d shitttt you not son. If it was for this VGG I wouldn’t have even bought GUNK or that their liquid mechanic. Such an educational instructor.
"nailed it"
"ope sure didnt"
Derek. I lost it when the dryer sheet went flying out the window. Your look was so funny. Hahaha
Lol I love seeing the arcing on the firewall at 27:15 as says he hears it..don't know why but I can bindge watch this shit for hours man.
And once you see it you can't stop looking at it.
You sir, are my first time subscribe. I've seen at least half of dozen of your episodes and each one is golden! It's got it all...hats, problem solving, humor that is so original and brutally true. Love it, keep it up,man. Hope that your family gets blessed with all auto parts store sponsorships. You deserve it. Make us feel American
" Let's see if it knocks on heavens door." I literally just roared out in laughter. Love your videos.
I jsut love how you always do the right thing. I also love the way you KNOW how to McGyer things together and they work!!!
Wife: How do you watch this. Me:How do you not.
Definately a watch channel
I'm a girl and I'm asking your wife the same question. How do you not? I'm obsessed with cars and Camaros. Honestly, the best things in life.
You reason like a Democrat.
The first time I watched the caddy rescue simply rolling in my chair, but make no bones he is funny w/ knowledge he applies simple logic to I'll be dipped working out the essential mechanical work to achieve if she'll take the onions. What a comedic and mech.wizard.A good guy at heart...
A guy's wife gets mad because a guy starts talkin like him
"the ole' direction selector" cracks me up.
27:14 anyone else notice the arcing near the distributor? that tick in the cap he heard
I came to note that but everyone beat me. Lol
EVERY BODY saw it cept Mr Derek!!!
That is something you look RIGHT past
Low Key, My dude is a Genius In the Mechanics! Lol 😆
That 305 is bullet proof, but it came stock with a 2 barrel carb and will run way better with it, only way that quadrajet wont bog is if its had headwork done.
We should be able to..*whistle*
Got me again!!! 😂😂
haha.. whoops
Cool video as usual! A guy can really relax and forget the problems of the day buy watching these ! I’ll be dipped, it’s almost therapeutic 😳.
Atlanta Merto area still likes to use the smog delete crap
I'm in New York, it really all depends on what place you go to get an inspection done, some of them don't even care. We don't need to get hooked up to the smog machine, just looked at really.
In Bulgaria you can definitely remove the Cadillac converters especially on older cars.
Gogo Rushkov did you mean catalytic converters?
Can you only remove them from a Cadillac?
Cadillac 😂😂
Gogo Rushkov catalytic
She is a keeper! Give the engine a little love, fix the transmission and shes good to go. I wish she was mine!
I don't know much about older cars but I feel like when things on the outside of the engine sparkle like at 25:15 it's bad :). What a great channel... learning so much.
The Bob Ross of motor mechanics! 🤣❤️
haha
Happy little engine!
i laughed when i saw that taser goin off in the bottom left after he said he heard an arc
Hey your uncle red green says hi. Keep your stick on the ice. Bud
I love those camaros and I would definetly say fix er up
she's in progress
When he pulled it out of the corner of the bard I could feel my slipped disk just watching him 😂
When the Cadillac converter goes you just stop going to the inspection station in my state.
haha
Catalytic?
No Cadillac
Here just gets a $10.00 inspection sticker. 25 years and older or anything that's brand new and 2 years old
@ricky bobby amen
“So I did the right thing...” one of my favourites
Opens the truck "wow that's comes right up on a guy" 😂😂😂😂
I play this guy’s vids on my garage tv. He makes me feel better about myself while I’m working on my own beaters.
Jesus, How many subs did you pick up over the past month! Makes me gitty to see you with over 50K subs now! YAY!
Steve a couple shout outs from big channels and things take right off, I subbed a little over a month ago, he’s pretty minty
He promoted the heck of this channel during power tour. That definitely helped, and he's very entertaining!
Someone posted a link to it in a Reddit comment a few weeks ago that's how I found it
Thanks Steve, I appreciate you fellers, can't do it without ya!
Legend - this is why I'm proud to be from MN
Me as well!
Put your hand on the back of the distributor while it's running. You'll find it.
Ouchie
@@ViceGripGarage I've done it. Better than a redbull.
LOL. Gold
Oh wow. That shop is made entirely of wood. Totally amazed!!!
