BARN FIND! Super Solid 1963 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- Join along as we pull an Anniversary Gold 1963 Chevy Impala 2 door hardtop from an extended slumber in a pole barn! Since I purchased this car without a drivetrain we'll be swapping a 283 and a Powerglide automatic transmission in it from our 1967 Impala 4 door hardtop. We'll also be updating the wheels, tires, power disc brakes, late model style power steering, aluminum radiator, dual exhaust, fuel tank and complete wiring harness. If you think you can't live without this car, you can own it for $15,000 USD. As always, thanks for watching!

15k for that? got to be joking! cracks me up. You even get a tiny 283 for this Super Sport. Or is that without motor and trans.? Could only watch the first 10 minutes and fell asleep.
I'm so happy to have your qualified opinion on the value of my car! And hey, thanks for the view while you're sleeping!
Maybe you should stick to commenting on videos you actually have knowledge about.....like gay porn.... you obviously have no knowledge of vintage cars....or youtube...because leaving even negative comments increases the creators ratings and helps them get more views....
I remember when I couldn't afford stuff too.
@@92xl Never really been in that situation. Been saving money since I was 5 years old. Been blessed with never lacking what I want or need. NEVER buy anything that depreciates. I have owned approx 175 vehicles and haven't lost over about $2000 total in my life. Have had 3 new cars and still didn't lose over $500 in depreciation on any one car.
Your welcome. I appraised the car while sleeping. @@MortskeRepair
What an amazing find. Those ‘63s are gorgeous.
My nephew who is 21 (I’m 45) was at my house this morning to visit my wife (his aunt, who is recovering from a spine surgery). He is a UA-camr who incidentally makes a better living than I do (I’m not salty about it in the least - his parents were worried this kid would be dead or in jail by now). He fancies himself a car guy, but really he just likes brand new Range Rovers and BMWs. He actually sat down and watched this video with me and the questions he was asking made me wonder if he was kidding. One of the questions was “did they have to make all that by hand back then?” I asked him what he meant, and he said “You know, like with a hammer and an anvil?”
I was like, Jack it was 1963, not 1663. They had manufacturing back then. 😂
Haha, pretty close tho!
That car is nice! You'd never ever find one that nice in the northeast! And nobody turned it into a lowrider!!! Great find and great content as always.
Got something against lowriders?
@chevylandt.v no way. They are cool but it's nice to see an early 60s chevy that isnt
I like stock height also. It upsets me when people low ride old Impalas. They look so good at stock height and ride sooo nice!
Not if it were driven in road salt for many years. I grew up on the Detroit area and even one year of driving thru road salt will do much damage. I'd guess this car was driven in road salt for about 5 years before starting to store it thru the winters.
@@johncaballero8013you are right they look nice at stock height.
Fanatic find. Can't believe how nice the condition is.😊
It really is way too good for us!
Nice car. I am all for upgrades/modifications on classics. I prefer to keep the body and interior stock "looking". Do whatever you want to the wheels and drivetrain. Can't wait to see it on the road!
That is going to make someone a real nice going to town rig! Nice to see it on the ground and ready for you & Duff take a ride! Oh, that 283 looks verrry nice!
Still and always the best content ( and superstar dog). I've been wrenching for 40 years and you regularly show a detail that makes jobs go better. Love the car!
Glad to hear it!
FINALLY!!!! What a find. You're bringing back all the memories to me. The 265 is a rare thing these days. Remebering how the water pump & drive assembly is all different. I'm liking it...
Very nice and worth every penny 👍 Another quality episode 👌 Thanks and looking forward to the finished product!
The routing of the stock exhaust on these was crazy special. Good to see this one coming together. Thanks for sharing. I thought the frozen engine block in the middle of summer had a nice effect. Be well.
A good exhaust man is required to dual one of these!
That car is TO GOOD for the girls we go out with.
❤Pamela Anderson baywatch years.
*Too. Dammit Dale Wyatt. Those girls are for sure not interested unless they are those girls we go with. =)

HI MORTSKE,,, YOU HIT THE JACK POT!!! WOW!! GREAT CAR ,, YOU CAN FIX ANY THING ... WE ALWAYS LOVED THE WHITE 64 WAGON MY SON MAX 8 AND I NOW WE HAVE THE 63 CHEVY,, MAX SAYS ITS NOT SNOWING OUT ITS SUMMER ,, DUFF IS DIGGING AT THE SNOW?? ENGINE HA!!! YA.. LOTS OF GREAT WORK ITS GOING TO BE A GREAT CAR,, YOUR GARAGE HELPS OUT ALOT THE LIFTS. CANT WAIT FOR MORE OF THE 1963 CHEVY!! THANKS.........
Great Content !..... I had an identical 2-dr. 63 Impala, same gold colour, bench, white top, a 283 2brl. and that lame 2-speed hydramatic tranny, way back in 1971. A lot more rust though, in the Canuck Rust Belt of Ontario, Canada. Cheers !
That is a beautiful 63 and glad to see you get the video out on it. It's super clean for being a northern car! That Wildfire lift is fantastic too. I have had one and loved it. They really are the best lift you can buy for the home shop. I'll be watching for the next video on it unless someone else needs to own it first. Good luck with it.
I've been waiting for this video. Great car! Nice wheel choice. I was hoping you'd put an LS or a MkIV 454 in her with a 4 speed, console, and bucket seats.
Looks so smart, this beauty, fresh orange engine sitting there, no mentionable rust and bluetooth wire loom… Love it!
That car is beautiful, can't wait to see it roll down the road. It's the one car I regret selling. Bought it for 25 bucks and sold it for 50 bucks back in 1975
That is a REALLY nice car!! I would enjoy watching the rest of the work on it. I think you are offering it at a great price, for a honest car, I am glad it is a long way from me!
Glad to see the video finally come out, thanks for posting this sweet 63' build!
Our pleasure!
'Threw me for a loop' comes from roller coasters. 'Knocked me for a loop' is from boxing. Oxford English Dictionary. Everyone should have one. (About twenty massive volumes. Helpful if you've mislaid your stepladder)...
its a beauty, please sign that one over to DUFF
Another entertaining video Mortske. In 1967 a friend of mine in high school paid $1,400 for a 63 Impala 409 dual quad 4 speed positraction. Was a lot of money back then but it was a nice car. Same color and interior as the one you've got. Was pretty fast too. SS bucket seats with a console.
Would be a great one to have kept!
You're always full of surprises,, motskie...
Mortske that is a Time Piece and the best is you get to set up your own powertrain!!!! We have been waiting for this one. I have seen it on the lift as you said for a good while and been wanting to see it's revival...SO Thanks!!!!!!
nice shape for a car from the north! Glad to see you putting the 63 together she's a keeper.......
Mortske for what you've got into that right now the listed price is NOT BAD for what you're getting.. Especially with the condition of the frame and body, that thing is seriously in phenomenal shape considering where it's lived its life.. really man, you're very much in the ballpark of something in less good condition. Nice work Mortske, great video this week!
I'm not gonna get rich off it, that's for sure!
A lot of great work on a great car. That thing is mint.
Good job. Really enjoyed this video. The 63 Impala is a favorite of mine. I drove a 72 in high school. Duff is such a great companion and looks happier every week 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I told you about my brother having a 63 SS when I was in grade school. Have a lot of good memories working on that car with him back in the day. I live 60 miles from Joplin MO. In SE KS. Would like to own that car myself.
☕Another great Mortske vid and cool Impala!!👍🙂
Great content as usual, Mortske. I really enjoy the longer videos
Glad to hear it!
I would research that 63... I remember seeing a car search video recently about that particular car. The gold paint was a special edition. Very rare color for that car. Great find!
Anniversary gold!
@@MortskeRepair So cool that you found that! I'm jealous. Can't wait to see it restored!
That's a nice '63. She deserves to be fixed up nice.
In response to your question, "Threw me for a loop" is an off shoot of "Knocked me for a loop" which is, of course, a boxing term. But "threw me for a loop" first appeared in print & comes from what the Oxford English Dictionary terms a "centrifugal railway" (roller coaster). I hope that clears it up.
Well, good luck completing the '63 with your faithful companion giving you a paw.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the info!
Hey Mortske!! Great score on the 63! Really like your wheel choice too! The upgrades you bought are definitely worth it, y'all should do well on this project!
I sure hope so!
I'm trying to buy a car y'all
He said price in the comments!
@@dannyowen6663 it's in the video description above
Wow what a great clean car it was worth the wait and has such great potential ..I would drive it just like it is ,hard to believe it was found in Minnesota I can't wait to see part 2
Love this Car! My Dad had a 63 Impala when I was in High School. 327 with a Slip N Slide two speed. He should have never let me Drive that Car. 4 Door Black with a white Top.
It's a shame you can't keep ahold of this one it's super clean for sitting in a barn. But I guess we can't keep em all.
🎵🎶 Mortske in the morning
Pudding in the afternoon 🎶🎵
I thought, yes a survivor that hasn't been butchered, and then you start talking about "cutting" and lowering ...
Ahhh yes. Bolting on Americans and adding dual exhaust as well. Complete butchery! Don’t forget the upgrades to the brakes, cooling system, steering and wiring as well. Total hack job. Wait! You’re a Jeep fan? I bet yours isn’t lifted or a winch added…
@@MortskeRepair😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you Buy the car you can easily undo any Modifications Mortske has done 😮 . IMHO all "Upgrades" But Mortske take me back in your time machine so I can buy that green truck! Still kicking myself for not buying that one .. Great Video as always! How's the algorithm
I butchered my old Dodge by replacing the transmission and everything sensor related. I hate myself. By butchering it and keeping it road worthy I've ruined it. I apologize. I should probably have kept the factory oil too .. dang me!
badass mortske.
I picked up a 1966 Impala four door this spring, and I’ve been enjoying it! It’s my first ever Chevy, after 36 cars. I tried to avoid GM because I like oddball stuff but I see the appeal, it’s just a good car, we daily it. My wife actually discovered it and we got it for a steal ($3,000) with a rebuilt motor, solid floors and frame, perfect factory interior, but a little rust in the trunk and bottoms of the quarters.
awesome!
The tailgate might be a '73 only unit. They didn't have the emblem over in the driver side corner after a certain point. Sweet find!
That is an awesome car! 63's are my absolute favorite of the Impalas followed by the 65's. Love this video, Thank you for sharing! 😁👍
This hits me right in the feels. I regret selling mine back in 99-00. It was way rougher than this one but surprisingly still pretty straight and solid. Last tagged in 74. It was probably squished into a cube years ago though 😞
This is turning into a sweet ride........... These are the kind of rides we should be driving. Great video Mortske
A father and son Mortske roadtrip! Looking forward to seeing it throw North Dakota gravel all over the place! 😎
I had a 63 SS Impala back in the 60s, that one would really be nice with a 409 in it!
Hey Mortske really nice find! The wide ratio on the transmission refers to the percentage of gearing from to the next ie 1-2-3-4 wide ratio has a longer time between gear shifts and close just the opposite which makes the close ratio good for banging gears in drag race type applications helps if choosing between a very high rear gear and getting off the line quickly
Barney and Delphine Gilpin owned a GM dealership on Main street in Joplin Mo. for 45 years. Mrs. Gilpin passed away in 2021 at age 88. Most cars south of Kanas City Mo. Are not plagued with rust like you guys in the north. Nice ride ! cool find.
Thanks for the info!
Hey Mortske that 63 is worth every bit of $15,000.00. I can't believe the great condition it is in. Well worth a frame off restoration for someone! Send it on down to Puddin, Slick and Bill. They all know value! I would by it but I'm trying to locate a 55 chevy 3100 1st gen pickup. I know it's gonna take a whole bunch more money just to make a good runner out of a truck like that than what it'll take to make your car a show room quality car.
Wow I can't believe how many days it's been and I just got around to watching this video sorry Mort been busy, I have been waiting for this car she's a sweetheart I hope you are able to get it finished and back on the road I'd kinda like to see you keep her but I know you got to many Now Good Job 👍
No worries!
I am OLD school, I like the stock stance. I also like the wheel choice. I love 63 Impala's, back in the day (1960's), my older brother had one it was white/red interior ..... Good Times! Great content Mortske, this is one of the few UA-cam channels I find myself watching the whole episode. Duff is a great dog a real keeper.😀
Nice car Mortske! Should not have a problem with flipping this car. Thanks for sharing 💯❤️👍
Oh man, 63-64 Impala's are my favorites!! Glad to see the back story on this one! She's a beaut!
Thank you for my Monday morning entertainment! Always enjoy your videos, keep em coming!
Monday Sir Mortske Time. The best start of my Monday. 😊
Nice find. Looks great and you fid a great job on the improvements. Would love to see you put a nice interior into her. Finish installing the trim and give it a good cleaning.
Gotta love Mortske Mondays!
I'm really enjoying watching this build...love early 60's cars
Can't wait to see her on the road again!
HEY! Good morning and thumbs UP!!👍👍 One of my favorite youtubers! 💯💯👊👊
Gold Impala for the win ! Can’t wait to see the dramatic conclusion ! Sir Mortske cliffhangers ! Great video Take care Duff and Sir !
Wow! My first car! Same color! It was a rusted POS with a 327. Paid $50 for it. Had some fun in it till I put a rod thru the block on my way to my gas station job in high school.
When I was a kid we had a 64 gold convertible white top white interior with 327 loved it this car brings back memories. Great find 💯 oh before I forget I heard ya say washers ,southern Ohio I go with worshers 😅 loved the video buddy 🔥💪🔥💪🔥
That car is worth every penny your asking for it. You just can't find them anymore that are worth the time. Nice car.👍😁
Earlier 70s Ford pickups are good for them rag joints breaking from rotten cab mounts sagging. I've cut an old thick truck tire ,to repair them. Worked awsome.. Thanks again Mortsky 👍
Right on
Im sure people have been wondering why this car was in the background for such a long time. Well at least you did not get ripped off by buying someone else unfinished project. Usually when something is in pieces all I offer is 2x the scrap value. Have gotten ripped off myself finding a vehicle with boxes of things that are just random hardware for god knows what. So good luck finding the parts if it's a limited edition or rare vehicle. Btw Mojo seems to like the break lathe it sure is a very helpful tool. Still amazed how solid this vehicle is just try to get the fine details sorted out and she be a runner one day.
I know exactly where that car was sold in Joplin. I live in the Joplin area and it's nice to see local cars to me being brought back across the country
awesome!
I have wired a few cars from scratch. I really enjoy it. Every time I get a bit better but it still looks hack.
Nice impala. My first car was a 63 four door bel air. Also have my dads 63 SS impala 327 4 speed car he bought in 66.
I love the 1963 Impala! I wish I had the money to buy it, that’s the year I was born
What is the asking price?
Really appreciate the Wildfire part-seriously considering. Thanks!
You bet!
You never are bored, ya just scratch your head, witch project is first.Duff was checking the frame out for ya .knowledge is good to know !!!!!!!😊
Man! My dad had one of these cars...thanks to salt and father time, all I have are a couple photos but I'd kinda like to have one as a project. Nice to see one so solid.
That is sweet, and honestly did not think about converting the 4 post to a paint booth. I’m getting close to “needing” a wildfire lift. I am the master of justifying needs vs wants
There you go
Thanks man,worth the wait! hope to see it in person one day.
Got my merch order last week. Coozies are bada**!!! Also love the decals, pens, ect. Thanks for the fast shipping!
Thanks for your purchase!
The engine box in those 60's GM's are so big even if they run a big block they always look empty. Those with 6 in a row really look empty. That's a pretty awesome car. Got it going in a real good direction.
Great video! Happy Mortske Monday! Gotta say you had me checking the daye on this one! I saw snow, long sleeves and jackets! Guess that’s coming soon enough! Chevy is lookin good! 👍👍
God bless those who take the time effort and space, to preserve beautiful pieces of history , such as this gem of a car.
Well said
I like the 1963 Chevy Impala it's sweet we use to own 2 1966 Chevy impalas I drove one for 2 years but never drove the other one now I sold them and wished I hadn't the engines and transmissions was still in them and still are keep up the good work mortske nice barn find can't wait to see it move under its own power
I think that’s a perfect price. I wish I lived closer. I would go ahead and buy it. I live in St. Louis thanks mortski for the great videos.
Very solid 63 chebby Mortske, glad ur saving on it! My buddy who psssed in 2015 had a 64 impala 4 door and a 64 biscayne 2 dr and a 55 belair 4 dr, and a 68 charger handed dwn from his dad who had bought it in 70. Cool cars!!!
Pretty nice looking impala would make a good candidate for car shows ect and already has a good start on upgrades buff that paint.
Hey Mortske 👋, thanks for the video on the 63. Kept me entertained for a Sunday afternoon. 🖐
Glad to hear it!
IT’s ALREADY SNOWING UP THERE?!? 😮
Mortske, the crossed flags on the front fenders mean the car is a 327 engine car. If there were just a "V" badge, the car would have a 283 engine. A 6 cylinder engine would have no badge on the front fenders.
thanks for the info!
From the prices I've recently seen for cars from this era it's a reasonable price. Enjoy your channel and Duff keeps my wife watching!
Thanks 👍
Good old days looking at that block! 😮 Thank you for sharing your information on the Year of the Chevrolet blocks.
our pleasure!
Another Mortske Monday and that was a ton of information to digest , But I really enjoyed the video . Will watch it again later and let it digest , so until next time , nose to the grindstone , keep the night light burning, and give Duff Dog a treat for his faithful service , Stuart in Ontario ..
My Mom had a 1963 Chevy Impala white with red interior. It was a sweet car and fun to ride in. Wish you well in getting it together.
Great finger pointing film, do you also pick your nose with it? Make a film about that too
You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends nose. I think you're in the wrong place Bossy.
@@MortskeRepair we got a live one Sir ! Haha
Wow, what a douche!
44:10 she listens to everything,all day all night 🤫lol
...what?
This is my favorite year in hard top. Then 64 soft top is my other. Something about those Impala's. They just look nice.
Great video. Really enjoyed it. Super cool car in impressive condition. The perfect owner will come along for this beauty and whoever it is will be lucky to get it. I’d love to see more of it so I kinda hope its around for another video. That Wildfire Lift is a great addition to the shop! Yes, we luv Duff but his costars aren’t bad either.😉
Couldn't agree more!
On most any GM power steering setup like this, an intermediate shaft for an old Jeep XJ will go on there, with some possible massaging of the top end of it needed. It has u-joints at both ends, and eliminates any potential slop in that area. Worked like magic on my old Chevy truck.
Summit Racing sells a GM-style shaft already made up with u-joints, but it's about $300 last I checked, while the XJ shaft is usually about $30-50.
Always entertaining and dizzying time lapse assemblies and disassemblies . And Duff.....a born showman and entertainer. Lassie could have learned a thing or two. 3 non opposable thumbs up 👍 👍👍.
This takes me back to the late 70's. My older brother had a 64 SS 327 powerglide. Super good condition inside and body. The block cracked on it and he sold it. The dude that bought it got a great car.
No doubt!
It will be nice to hear and see it run and stop
That was a great video, I really enjoyed the Wildfire lift section. That is a beautiful car, once in a lifetime. Wouldn't take much to fix the floors w/o replacing them. And it would be worth so much more!Talk to Puddin' ,you're both highly qualified adults who shine at different things. Trade off. But that car rustproofed and painted underneath would go a long way.
Ive heard of Christmas in July but Christmas in August complete with snow is a new one LOL anyway sweet ride
We love your videos, we learn alot by watching. Thanks for speanding the time for all of us!
I'm so glad!
