Very cool car. Makes me glad my 75 Fury was saved before it reached that point. Mine only sat 21 years, so getting it running wasn't all that bad. Love seeing these videos of these abandoned old cars running again. Try that with one of these newer cars. Let them sit 30-40 years. I guarantee they'll rot to the ground way before that point. Lol.
Yes sir. My dad bought a new GMC Canyon in 07. He drove it his last 4-5 years at work before he retired. He parked it for a year with only about 25,000 miles on it. When he tried to drive it again, the coolant had rotted the sensors, the EVAP canister was bad, and one of the front abs sensors needed replaced. Craftsmanship and pride have taken a serious dive in the auto industry. Thanks for watching!
@@chrishardesty8616 that's exactly right. There's sooo many electronics in these newer cars too so if they are parked too long, there's gonna be a VERY good possibility of something causing a draw.......killing the battery. Sometimes cars get parked just for that. There's no way for my car to cause a draw, because there's so few wires. People just need the basics, not a heated steering wheel, etc
I always loved the look of the '62 and '63. I wish it were in a little better shape. I'd apply for a title and daily that 6...after a proper cleanup. Thanks for watching!
Well I really wouldn't call that 2:35 straight 6 a screamer. I'm old enough that when these cars came up for sale cheap enough we buy them get a pile of those 235 six cylinders haul them into the scrappers. My dad kept six or so of them and love them. Now you get a split manifold and get four barrel man fold you can even get a dual quad manifold although you better do a lot of work on the guts that engine. You better off going with a 292 straight 6 if you going to do a dual quad. But then I don't think it fit under the hood. Now looking back I wish I kept they want those 235s cuz there's a good demand for those engines. People replace your old Babbitt engines with these. I recently looked at all between two of them they had 600 cars. But looked at buying a half a dozen of them and each one of these gentlemen said that they knock $500 off the price if I did not want the straight six that was in the vehicle. I was only to talking about $1,500 to $2,000 vehicles to begin with. So apparently there's a good market for them because how much are they getting out of them if cutting $500 off the price and they're pulling the engine in a nice way meaning unbolt unhooked not just cut cut cut. Of course at 2:35 was known as the blue flame. It would do 120 miles an hour in those old cars so I guess what much more do you need. Funny thing is if you got maybe around 20 miles to the gallon with a 283 you get 25 miles a gallon out of the same car. With her right gears in the differential. Just sharing a little bit of information. I'm actually thrilled that people are interested in what we used to throw away because we didn't have brains enough to hang on to them. Oh my dad did and he rebuilt them. Got 57 Chevy that has nearly 600,000 mi on it sitting in the barn and he'd get about 100,000 miles out of each engine. Keep the hobby going
my first car in 1973 was a 62 impala 2dr. hard top. later in life i got another one, both V8, wish i had them back. they are my favorite impala body style.
I had a 62 BelAir 4 door. 6cyl 2 spd cast iron auto. Paid $50 for it. When I got it it had a spun rod bearing. Pulled motor and trans and put the largest undersized bearing available, which was still a bit loose. Cut a piece of sheet metal from an oil can to fit to shim up that bearing. Drove it like that for a year. Moved across the country in it. Parked it when the battery gave up.
You went 180 out . Field time it. Pull no 1 plug, bump engine over till you feel compression on no 1 cylinder. Check timing mark for tdc. Loosen distr and turn for spark. Lock down. Align no 1 plug wire to rotor. Then install rest of wires to firing order. 15 too young, 36 too old, 24 just right.
I'm interested in parts if you want to sell parts off this car. Given the other UA-camr you mentioned then we're not too awful far apart and distance. I've got a 62 Impala station wagon it's been in the family for over 50 years are close to it anyway. Anyway somebody lifted some miscellaneous parts from it like the trim around the headlights. I'm not sure if there's anything else I can use as far as it being a Bel-Air. As I replied to another comment my dad Loved these 235 6 cylinders and I always replace too much small block v8s. As I've gotten older I like to six cylinders more than what I used to. But I sure am grateful for the time I grew up in because he's neat old cars were in a lot better shape for 75 bucks a piece. Some people say that's about the equivalent of $750 nowadays so. You know that license plate I guess is no real harm in it. But I own a piece of property and I think tomorrow I will finally call that certain utility company and ask him for a new number. Because it has those three numbers embedded. They've offered to change it before but I've had it for so long. Only one state with a long enough roads to have that mile marker and that's Texas. We went to that mile marker against the advice of others and the post was there but the sign was gone. It was a very eerie place we took pictures of the mile markers leading up to it that one and mile markers after it. We took pictures of us in the vehicle looking at this empty post and things written around it on the landscape behind it. Do you know that place is had an eerie feeling about it. And after 665 mile marker until mile marker 667 we didn't have a single picture on those cameras! We're talking 2 real cameras. The pictures we took with our phones and there was four phones. We were missing any pictures of the landscape and empty mile marker post on all four of those phones. But we did have pictures of us inside the vehicle along with some other image! Take from that what you want that has been roughly 6 years ago. Since then one of us that was in the car is no longer alive and a very young age. Oh I could contribute almost any bad things to those numbers at mile marker but I'm not. The thing about the pictures been not there on the SIM cards true story. But I'm no car guy is pretty sensible don't sound like with that story but that's how it goes. But I would be interested in a few miscellaneous other parts as well. You know what I've got a 65 four-door Bel Air. It has a 2:30 Cid in line 6 and 3 speed that that engine transmission would fit in nicely. It's a four door as well. It was my great uncle Bud's car and it has some rust on it but the seats are still red inside and so is the dash. It might make a good sequel for this 62 Impala episode. Or if the engine transmission works well enough maybe I buy them and put in the car and sell the car. It's just been setting too long. By the way the 2:30 is a pizza cow patty. Just trying to keep the g rating. 235 is a much better engine and of course the 250 is a good engine too as far as in line sixes go. Thanks for making the video it reminds me of when I was 13 years old driving that station wagon around the farm.
Thanks, and I will most likely part this out. There should be a be a place on my channel you can click on to email me. I'm going to do a little more with this car before I part it out, but if you email me, I can contact you back when I'm ready to sell some stuff. Thanks for the straight 6 information and THANKS FOR WATCHING!
@@chrishardesty8616 Okay sounds great. Now I've had trouble finding emails before for UA-cam channels but not always. I just went out around Wichita and bought some things from an old truck from another UA-camr. Plus yet from another different youtuber making a deal to buy or horse trade because he desires a car that I have, three vehicles he has. Don't get me wrong my pockets aren't real deep. I do have a list of people wanting different things but I'm buying stuff for myself currently. Which I've only recently started buying stuff again. If you have anything or any leads on 55 to 57 bumper grill front clip 1 ton truck and smaller. I have a guy that buys this stuff up regularly. He likes to stay away from rust. Western Kansas and Central Kansas down in the Oklahoma where I usually direct him. But I have no lead on this kind of stuff right now. The Vikings series trucks what he wants doesn't match up. By the way the hood and cab matches up with the pickups at least all the way through the Vikings 60 series. If you question why out of the blue I throw out information. I'm old enough I want to see the car hobby survive and old enough to be seen down the road that if people like you are encouraged now you will continue to dig this stuff out. I may want to buy something later. As good as I am a hunting this stuff out I can't find everything. Not blowing my own horn but I can back that up. I've thrown out things to other UA-camrs and they've used them. It has to be more than coincidence and I have opened dialogue with a couple of others. Anyway you have a realistic but excited approach to the 62 Impala. You saw what a lot of people would not have seen as far as potential. Parting the car out in my opinion is the best route. If you want to do something crazy like shake it and turn it into a two-door after you get a few thousand more subscribers that sure helped out the fellow in Canada. About the only suggestion I made to him that he probably took was show some of the scenery when you travel to get your vehicles plus show picking some of them up. Coincidence are not he was doing that a couple of episodes later. Well you know what they say opinions are like and everybody has at least one you can feel free to throw it out with the dishwater as grandmother used to say. I've already subscribed to your channel I think you had 300 subscribers or so. There is a number of old cars across North Missouri north of 36 just scattered around. But as one old hound told me just look at a nighttime mat and go where there isn't any lights. You know she was right. She is really good at it and she has a fellow that works for her that goes out and does the actual picking them up. Down there Fulton Missouri highway 54 there is an old car salvage yard that cost $10 to get in and I've never seen anybody film it yet. South of i-70. If you're interested I can email it to you once I look at your email. Maybe the owner does not allow film ing and that's why nobody's filmed it yet. I was just out at 3 different yards from 75 to 200 and over 400 cars and everything was 40s through 60s. They were out by Wichita. Just some ideas. It would be fun to watch a channel grown thank you for replying back to me
@@CAROLDDISCOVER-1983 Man, I appreciate the support, information, and leads. I'm about maxed out on inventory at the moment. I have around 11 vehicles on my property ( plus partials) at current. Most are newer vehicles that were/are parted out. whenever I can get those cleared up I may be looking for a fresh project. I'll probably have a sequel to my 1950 Desoto will it run, in a month or so. Thank You.
@@genuineworkinghands thank you for replying. Mainly I'm sharing a story I guess about the 235 and the market you might find to sell it in here also I'd be interested in some parts if you go that route.
Man that thing is in rough condition that thing was driven hard and put away wet anyway it's a cool old car but the Indiana weather really ate the thing right up.
Judging by the repairs and patches on the fenders, quarters and in the trunk, our road crews have always been generous with the salt in the winter. She had a rough life for sure! Thanks for watching!
My first car was a 62 Impala 2dr hardtop. Got my senior year in 1966. Paid 600 for it. 235, 3 on the tree. White with that same blue interior. Cracked trannny case being stupid. Got another one at junkyard for 15.00. Then had to rebuild it. Parked it in a garage in 69 when I went in Army. Good times in that car.
It's crazy thinking it was 4 years old and only $600. Of course I do realize $600 was a lot more in '66. Thanks for sharing and for watching, but most of all, Thank You For Your Service!
That old radio may be tube type the radio in my old 64 Chevy was tube type and if it is it'll take a good five minutes for it to warm up and come on after you turn it on, them tubes have to warm up.
Thank you. I thought so in editing. It seemed to be the difference in the cameras I used. I'm currently saving for a GoPro. Maybe Santa will be generous this year. Thanks for watching!
If I was you I'd get rid of that freaking license plate real quick that's crazy those numbers are not good luck, looks like you just bought Christine 2.
The old manual transmissions weren't fully syncronized. That just means you couldn't downshift without grinding gears. You'd have to wait until you came to a complete stop. Thanks for watching!
It didn't show too well and I didn't mention it, but I cut the fuel line off near the pump before I cranked it much. Better safe than sorry, but I don't imagine there is much left of that take anyway. Thanks for watching!

Awesome job getting it running. That six banger was probably a screamer back in it's day. I think the front view of this car is badass.

That's Awesome! Pride and ingenuity built these cars. Now we pull over if the "check Engine" light comes on. Thanks for the story and for watching!
When did you park it and where is it at I'll go get it. I just take the battery out of my truck so long as it hadn't been sitting for 15 years.???

Good job. Volume went up and down. It started soft and then got loud later.

What does it mean when the transmission is not "fully synced"?
The old manual transmissions weren't fully syncronized. That just means you couldn't downshift without grinding gears. You'd have to wait until you came to a complete stop. Thanks for watching!
Fix it up, give it a wash,and make a daily driver out of it! I would rather have one of those cars, instead of these new ones! Do another video!
We had this identical car in south America, burgundy with white top in 1970 ish.🚘⛽🚏
It probably bounces back from pressure build up
Poor little kitty must have fleas
Hope it not going to suck that 40 Year old gas up.
It didn't show too well and I didn't mention it, but I cut the fuel line off near the pump before I cranked it much. Better safe than sorry, but I don't imagine there is much left of that take anyway. Thanks for watching!
