People comment about the neighbours, I would love to live next door to this guy,so reminds me of me from years back, I appreciate the fact that people like myself and this guy make noise,smells,and temporary mess, but when the neighbours are in trouble we are the first to help. I love this guy and I wish him and his family and the baby on route,cat and dog the very best. Ellery from the uk 🇬🇧
Me and a few friends had a "guys house", always wrenching, building and partying. Someone asked our neighbor how it was living next to us and they said "Great!" Other than the noise froml engine over revs, skillsaws and such they knew we were always willing to help out, cared about the neighbors and were friendly and decent. 😊
@@defaultname531 Fantastic, now it seems neighbours or fellow campers on campsites are reluctant to even smile at one another, how things have changed, in my later years I have put a gate into my older neighbours garden so I can check on him and supply water for him free, as he’s on a water meter and I’m not. Cheers to you. Ellery. Uk 🇬🇧
Chris...that's what I really dig about you...your work ethic.. You took a 300 dollar car, made some cash..and gave us a great video... Hats off buddy....
That's what appealed to me initially, so much energy and a can do attitude..plus a truly deep knowledge of motors, it's his trade I know, but Chris also has a passion for it...
Love Rivieras. But IMHO its only worth $1000 running with a title! Less without. You have to resell stuff. Will it starts are nice, but my kids,etc don’t want “junkers”. My former son in law thought that metal rusting away in the back lot was gaining value,- capital growth does not work that way. I’ve owned old,odd cars, motorcycles, boats and airplanes. So been there, done that! Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken
Every time you release a video I have to instantly sit down and watch it. Your energy and work ethic are off the chart. Even if you were rebuilding a lawnmower I would still wanna watch it,
i used to live next door to a guy just like you he had welders and compressors in his kitchen and motor bikes in his living room he was a fantastic guy ANYTHING you needed he would have it and was allways ready to help.
@@blastingweevil2968 Truly fantastic days, I’ve built engines in my living room on a plywood sheet in front of the coal fire, then spilled oil onto the carpet, I wonder why I’m single 😀
I had a dear old friend who's been gone a minute now but he was the same way he could fix anything if you brought him a frame some wheels and milk crates full of parts he would build you a Harley a 58 panhead as a matter of fact I helped him with we built many small block chevy motors in his garage and more than one 12 bolt chevy rear-end set it all up w a new posi carrier and setting pinion depth correctly and all that I learned a lot lot from him over the years and wish I had not had to move away but at the time it was in the best interest of the family anyway God bless you Harold I miss you buddy Rip..
im like that had a industrial compressor in my living room handy as a table and a mig welder in the kitchen !!! tools everywhere and motorcycle parts !!! i will never change be like this till i drop .
Chris is a great mechanic who approaches every issue with logic and reason... a super combination of entertainment and education (and a really nice guy to boot!). He and Jenn make a wonderful couple (and baby makes three!). Always great content without being the same old same old. This channel deserves to be in the "million subs club"!
This is the best "will it run" - channel. All the others just drone on and film their face, you talk while you're actually doing stuff. Same goes for your other channels. I hope you don't get tired of it.
Chris, I do like your rescues. I also like your cross-country buy and drive home. I understand that with a new baby that this is difficult. I do hope that you will be doing a couple of these, as I like the adventures.
That riviera is amazing man. Any opportunity you have to bring it back should be taken. They’re some of the most American cars ever. Truly designed, and truly classic cars
@@joshb6440 thats nothing up here in the rust belt, the body on that car is mint, no rot around the windows its complete, id say 3k is fair, if it needs a floor and trunk thats nothing, if the frame is good than its 100% worth 3k
The soap is no joke. I worked in commercial printing for 13 yrs, getting ink, solvents, grease & oil on your hands & arms. The walnut shells in the soap is key, and it really does leave your hands soft, essential when you’re washing hands a lot.
I had a 1974 Toyota Celica GT it was red with white interior a standard transmission of course it was plenty fun I put some 19 87 Toyota Supra wheels on it and it looks so sweet😂
After letting my beloved 78 Toyota Celica GT 5 sit for too long I pulled her out of the garage and went from bumper to bumper for 3 years replacing anything and everything she wanted, she's a beauty factory Toyota orange with black interior rear lubert tailgate glass Emmanuel hand crank sunroof 5-speed manual in the list goes on, sure she's not a fast car or some canyon burner but God she's a blast to have and I've owned her for 30 years
NNKH car recovery and landscaping. Nice find, Chris. Always entertaining and informative. And I do know you’ll find Hoffa one of these days. Best to you and the family.
Do people really complain about Chris's videos or claim it's staged? I've never seen any comments claiming that. If you don't like the content, don't watch. It would take a special type of person to watch a video then complain or claim it's staged. The mind boggles. NNKH could make a video of painting a wall and I would watch it, the guy is entertaining and insightful and does such a great job editing for a complete experience. Keep doing whatever type or style of video you want and I'll happily watch. Thank you for all your hard work
Chris that's so true about Facebook, I closed my account in 2019 and recently I've had friends ask me about being on FB again and I told them I'm not. And they sent me screen shots of some of my pictures and verbiage of my asking for donations for childhood diabetes foundation. I told them it's a scam and to report it. I reported it and still waiting for it to be taken down. Crazy how they'll remove political posts they don't like but not scams that actually hurt people and their reputations. Keep they awesome videos coming 😂❤
So true, I recently seen naked women on marketplace looking for dates and when I posted a screenshot of it about FB letting that be posted, they threw me in FB JAIL for 24 hours for posting a screenshot of what they put on their site, bunch of b.s.
Whenever you report vulgarities,naked or explicitly material,,they go after you,,I was banned from FB for 7 years,,came back,,made more trouble,,two warnings I'd left,,no freedom of speech
Whenever a new video comes out I stop whatever I am doing to watch it. Then I get motivated to organize my tools, work on my rides, and get out to explore my city.
Those 5speed transmissions are quite strong. They were popular in the 80’s/90’s here in Australia for swapping into 6 and 8 cylinder cars to replace the 4 speeds. They hold up well behind stock to mild small cube V8’s.
Good job on bringing that one back up and running again...i had a 1988 Celica GT with the 22R in it...5 speed manual...pretty solid trans on it...could do hard pulls off the start...i was pulled over on fwy one time clocked at 144mph... was fun to drive...lol...thanks for the vids Chris...looking forward to the next
Chris...Man, did this bring back memories! This was my first car at 16.... lotsa fun on rural PA roads! They were great-running rust buckets but the rear end would easily get away from you in damp/slick conditions. LOve your content!
It's nice to see somebody take something hopeless and actually making money off it versus making it just about content then parking it in a field with the rest of the junk when done.
You’re the man Chris! And those old Buick Rivieras are absolutely classy units. Seems most people don’t give two hoots about them but they are the best looking car in the 60’s!
Had a ‘74 Celica GT in Alberta 1985 the most reliable car ever, -30c and it always started when others that were plugged in wouldn’t, sadly they are total rot boxes.
My mate used to race and rally a brown 74 Celica GT in the 80s. I remember as a kid watching him work on it up the road from where I grew up. The thing was rapid and he used to race his mate in a Lotus Sunbeam.
man that car is much more solid than expected, all 4 frame rails are mint, shock towers are mint, floors look mint, just needs a few patches, would be a shame to part it out, that car is 100% worth restoring
My Daily driver was a 1977 hatchback/fastback Looked like a mini-mustang. It also had a white interior. It too was a 5 speed. Mags and Pirellis. LOVED that car!
Super Video Chris as always. So interesting. I am amazed how you get these old engines started. Hope Jen and baby are doing well. Miss seeing her on the channel.
Great to see you having time to post regularly Chris. Wish nothing but the best for you and your family. Agree with the previous comments. My favorite channel.
Chris, the engine whisperer! I love how considered you are about people and the environment around you. It's shame that I can't get your merch here in Brazil. Love your channels. 😁😁😁😁
fun to be able to watch you work on these Will It Run cars...hope you grab that Riviera!...or even that little Caddy...best to you, Jen, and the papooshka...
I had a 85 Toyota Celica GT 5-speed 22R, drove to work44 miles a day for 15 yrs ,lved it, didnt know they made them in 74 when i was born.thanks man,i had one of those doggys in 2010,2nd wife kept him.
I had one of those back in the 80’s; lime color, auto, a/c, full power. We had a great time with it. Thanks for bringing back the memories! Best of luck Chris and Jenn.
My brother had something like this in metallic light blue, 5 speed. He was a car guy. Not mechanical but in driving. He liked good handling and shifting. I miss him and his Celica. I love to watch NNKH set up the snatch block to thread the needle to pull out a car. Real skill. And love how you got the engine going.
Think I paid 400 for one of these many decades ago now. It was a blast, not a hot rod but fun. Side note: the guy taught me a trick on how to clean this (white) low mileage vehicle that had all the same type of stuff this one does on it (or more) & while it does strip all the wax off, it definitely makes quick work of cleaning it... ( detailer's don't fillet me ;) ). You have to do this with a garden hose & a bucket or two. You'll need a wash cloth, running hose water (no sprayer needed) & the key is it must not dry on the vehicle. The top secret ingredient to this is yes, you guessed it: Comet. Dump it on as you see fit onto the wash cloth * onto a wet vehicle and simply wipe. One bucket is for the wash cloth rinsing. One bucket to dump onto vehicle after wiping. NOTE: I have only tried this on a white vehicle. I have no Idea how & if this would work on any other color. Then after you've dried it, (provided it's not rusty) polish, wax, & treat accordingly :) Great score !
Chris, I really appreciate how you will take an old beater like this and save whatever you can. Parting these out and saving at least some of the car is way better than crushing it and melting it down. Good job. Hope the parenting is going well!
In 1974 I bought my first brand new car. My first choice was a Toyota Celica GT they were so popular the dealers added a markup to the MSRP and I just couldn’t afford that. I bought a 1974 mercury capri for a lot less and it was loaded. I sold the Mercury in 1983 for nearly what I paid for it. Toyota’s are great I have two today. Outstanding video and good to see another dead one return. 🫡
I cant but help noticing the graveyard over in your nieghborhood…….my father always said “ you know why theres a fence around the cemetary??……cause people are dying just to get in”…………man i sure miss that guy. Rip pop’s
In 1976 I purchased a "back row special" 1972 Celica Gt, 4 speed from an Oldsmobile dealership. Probably the Best used car purchase I ever made! A battery, one tire and a windshield and I drove it for Many Miles. Replaced it with a 1977 Celica Gt Liftback that I drove for a bunch of miles.... LOVE TOYOTAS.
When released In Australia in 1972 the five speed was pretty unique. As I recall, they came initially with a 1600cc engine, which over the years with new (and bigger) models grew to 2,000 or maybe 2,200cc. These first generation models, like in this vid, are becoming very expensive here - if you can find one!.
Love this one, Chris! A bunch of buddies of mine love classic Toyotas, and my parents had a 70s Celica before I was born. I appreciate that you see the value in these things, getting parts to people who will use them, taking time to look for what’s good about every car when most would see rusted junk. Bravo and keep it up!
I bought a almost new 76 Toyota Celica GT in 1978 when I was in high school I sure had a lot of fun in that car literally drove the wheels off of that car. As I remember and smile.
I really enjoyed watching this episode because I owned a '74 celica Gt, 5spd and a/c for 6 years while living in San Antonio. . Was one of my best care free and fun cars to drive ever. The owners manual stated that cruising speed was 90. That was no lie. Thanks for getting this one running. Sweet!
I was typing how amazed I was about how you can maneuver all these huge vehicles in and out of your property and other properties and than you hit the siding. lol. Still incredibly talented at doing what you do.
I love the “Will It Run” episodes Chris. These are forgotten and neglected classics, thanks for giving them a chance at a second life! Beautiful drone footage at the end as well 👍👍
When I met my wife she had a 74 Celica, but it wasn't a GT. If you can find one you can make money off them. I have only seen one on the the road since the mid 90's. She loved that car, bought it brand new. Thanks Chris bringing back old times!

One of the best aspects of NNKH is his organization. Everything has a place and is easy to find. Something I have yet to master.
I know what you mean. My place looks like a yard sale.....................after a tornado.
The soap is no joke. I worked in commercial printing for 13 yrs, getting ink, solvents, grease & oil on your hands & arms. The walnut shells in the soap is key, and it really does leave your hands soft, essential when you’re washing hands a lot.

Watching the video, I thought that your neighbors can be very friendly and patient people! You are very lucky with them!
Smile on your face when you work on these cars is priceless
That 5 speed gotta be worth something in Australia that was an upgrade to put behind your old Holden six cylinder red motor.
You’re the man Chris! And those old Buick Rivieras are absolutely classy units. Seems most people don’t give two hoots about them but they are the best looking car in the 60’s!
I heard your reluctance, but seeing that Riviera would be cool. But yeah, $3500 seems like too much.
$1500 maybe
Thanks Chris! You consistently put out great videos for us. My favorite channel by far.
The parts are worth more than $300. You never let a basket case scare you off from the reality of investment cost and profit. Good job!

Outstanding video and good to see another dead one return. 🫡
I cant but help noticing the graveyard over in your nieghborhood…….my father always said “ you know why theres a fence around the cemetary??……cause people are dying just to get in”…………man i sure miss that guy. Rip pop’s
Only UA-camr out there that genuinely excites me when he posts. Keep it up NNKH!
This guy films as good as he wrenches
Always a good day when nnkh uploads this one’s gonna be super cool ! Keep up the good work 👍
In 1976 I purchased a "back row special" 1972 Celica Gt, 4 speed from an Oldsmobile dealership. Probably the Best used car purchase I ever made! A battery, one tire and a windshield and I drove it for Many Miles. Replaced it with a 1977 Celica Gt Liftback that I drove for a bunch of miles.... LOVE TOYOTAS.
I drove a 1986 S-10 2.8 4X4 for 17 years every day driver. because of its size made it even better!
I could get in and out where others couldnt!
@@jwfinley7808 That's why I still daily my 99 4.3 S10. Over 300K on the original motor and trans.
@aquaseafoamcrayon1739 I bought mine with 175.000 on it. when I donated it 279.000 and it still ran!
just change oil. I did always!!
Amazing!!!!! I just subscribed.
Old Celica....love it. Great video Chris
I loved the sound of that engine. Thank you much
When released In Australia in 1972 the five speed was pretty unique. As I recall, they came initially with a 1600cc engine, which over the years with new (and bigger) models grew to 2,000 or maybe 2,200cc. These first generation models, like in this vid, are becoming very expensive here - if you can find one!.
Watching you from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
God bless you !
I love 18, 20 and 22r engines.
They'll never die !
Thay riviera is awesome. Such a cool looking car
Chris, you are amazing. Just a "get it done" sort of guy and truly no nonsense. I would enjoy having you as my neighbor any day.
sarahintuned would be crying right now, she's been working on a 74 Celica r34 for along time, strip the bumpers, badges, trims and rain rails.
Love this one, Chris! A bunch of buddies of mine love classic Toyotas, and my parents had a 70s Celica before I was born. I appreciate that you see the value in these things, getting parts to people who will use them, taking time to look for what’s good about every car when most would see rusted junk. Bravo and keep it up!
Hello can ask your friends or if any one would be interested in a new old stock Toyota carburetor for 1981, 82, 80 Corolla 18 r engine
Would love to see the Riviera on the channel
Chris, thanks ! From start to finish I thoroughly enjoyed the last 45.04 minutes...
Great Video's btw! Interesting to watch you explore and the drone footage is awesome! Cool to see some big city stuff from a different perspective.
I bought a almost new 76 Toyota Celica GT in 1978 when I was in high school I sure had a lot of fun in that car literally drove the wheels off of that car. As I remember and smile.
Nice. I bought a new one in 77. A silver GT for a little over 6k.
I really enjoyed watching this episode because I owned a '74 celica Gt, 5spd and a/c for 6 years while living in San Antonio. . Was one of my best care free and fun cars to drive ever. The owners manual stated that cruising speed was 90. That was no lie. Thanks for getting this one running. Sweet!
Toyota's have the best engines. That engine has 400,000 more miles left in it
I was typing how amazed I was about how you can maneuver all these huge vehicles in and out of your property and other properties and than you hit the siding. lol. Still incredibly talented at doing what you do.
Do the Riviera Chris!
YT channel Sarah &Tuned May want parts from it. She’s restoring a 74
"She" 😂
Please pull more vehicles from that lot. We love your videos.
Sarah n tuned is restoring one on youtube,doing a great job
I love the “Will It Run” episodes Chris. These are forgotten and neglected classics, thanks for giving them a chance at a second life! Beautiful drone footage at the end as well 👍👍
That siding repair on the house should be simple…it happens.
When I met my wife she had a 74 Celica, but it wasn't a GT. If you can find one you can make money off them. I have only seen one on the the road since the mid 90's. She loved that car, bought it brand new. Thanks Chris bringing back old times!
If sara n tuned saw this, she would cry. Shes restoring a similar Celica to factory new condition.
