Back in 1963 at 16 years old I was locked up in that thing for 3 days. It was located in the back part of the firehouse in Siloam Springs, AR. I had been pick up for public intoxication. I sat there for 2 days before I had enough nerve to call my family to come get me out. Good memories. I would have bought it if I had kown it was up for auction. Thanks for posting this...
One guys trash is another guys treasure!! Good luck with the restoration! Old girlfriends granpa owned a farm and i was wandering like you were and came across an early 60s chevy impala 2 door sitting in his barn!! Always liked those cars, wondered what happened to the car and the ex girlfriend!!
my daddy was a car salesman all of his life. in 64 he sold my uncle a new 64 impala ss, it was black with turquoise interior. then in the late 60s he had several used car lots. i grew up working on cars. i became a professional transmission rebuilder, retired after 45 years. my favorite is the 1962 impala ss,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
That Jail is so cool, one could roast to death or turn into an human ice cube in the frostie months, the Chevy cabover is so cool, I had a 1950 Diamond T cabover, I could get 50 mph out of it down hill with a tail wind, it had a nice hardwood grain box, I sold it and the guy totaled it out, well that was 30 years ago, I love you're videos Mr Goodplyers, Thank You
I'm always amazed at the cars that people are willing to bring back from the dead. Never would have thought they had the value that they do - I get an education from Tim every time I watch this channel. Brilliant
Great save and a pretty good deal for someone. Glad you found that emblem. Being a shut down safari park part of me was hoping a long forgotten lion might spring out of the bushes… 😂
The '64 Impala SS I had in high school was burgundy, red interior, with a 327 & factory Muncie 4speed. The paint had some oxidation, but the interior was pristine. At the time it had about 100,000 miles and needed some engine work as it was burning some oil. It ran great tho - the SBC was a great engine. With dual exhaust and glass packs, it sounded great. After graduation I sold the car to a friend who was a year behind me. He promptly wrecked it, but it was repaired and the paint was better than when I owned it. I never knew what became of it. Sure would love to have it now!
I never miss a Mr. GP video and couldn't wait to watch this one right away about my favorite car. Really nice score for you! Yours seems to be a mystery. The trim tag doesn't have a normal assembly plant code, assembly date or accessory codes. Not sure how to decode it. It was very rare to have a column shift SS but they did make a few. The car would have come with an SS console but without a place for a shifter. Yours has 327 fender flags. With that sweet posi, your price is fair for sure. Wish I was younger and had a place for a third one. Keep up the good work and fun videos.
Its a cool SS Impala. It looks better with those bumper guards. Its a interesting project. We certainly seen worce being fully restored. I used to like convertables, but since the summers have become way too hot, I prefer the hardtops. That International pickup truck is very cool truck.
Don't be in a hurry getting parts for your 64 Chevy, going to swap meets will yeald you a lot of parts for your 64, get there early, happy parts hunting, good buy!!!!!
Hi there, I enjoyed your video, thanks. I recognized the three stripe whitewall tire and thought I’d let you know what it is….It’s a General Dual 90, from the Sixties. In my youth, I had a ‘53 Chevy 2 door hardtop with a full set of them on it.
I think you got really lucky when you were outbid on that convertible. I doubt they'll get it out of there without breaking it in half. Looks like the floors and rockers are totally gone. I think the frame is most likely in the same condition. He picks it up from the rear with that Bobcat, the way he did yours, it's very likely to fold up like a cardboard box.
You know it is really sad to see those beautiful cars sitting there resting away😢 just wanting to get back out on the streets and drive around with all those newer cars😂 it is a shame that people let cars just sit there and waste away when they could be out on the street looking beautiful shiny running really good better than the cars on the street what happened to America's cars that used to be really great I love the videos that they restore these cars and drive them down the street bring the tear to my eye😢 I'm in my 60s and we used to have beautiful cars and then the car manufacturers just fucked it all up😂
Those little cheesy saws are kind of handy. I like to keep mine charged up in the basement so if we ever have a tornado or bad storm, I can maybe cut my way out. Thanks for the vid. Seen a LOT of those 64s in AZ when I was growing up. Had a friend in high school with a 4 door.
🗿💨 i traded a body like this for a 55 sedan back in mid 80s. One i had was a shell that had the 409 4spd long gone. That car went to northern KY.. Thanks for sharing Tim, ✌️ Peace
I'm an hour away from Gentry in Ft. Smith and probably would've traded you my 62 and 64 SS for that convertible. My 62 is solid but my 64 has a lil rust but is in way better shape than the one you bought with a good black interior both AC cars
1959 to 1964 full size Chevrolet cars need to have the cowl replaced with a factory A/C cowl in order to install factory A/C in a car that came as a factory non A/C car.
There are only a limited number of days in a calendar year that a place like that would be tolerable... I'm sure it made people re-think committing crimes... or at least try harder not to get caught LOL
I don't know who bought it. I heard it sold to a local guy there in Arkansas. I quit at the $3k mark. Just too many possible variables to put out any more than that for a listing with four pictures taken from one side of the car, a vehicle that I wasn't able to preview in person
12:43 "EDIT: I wrote this before I saw the part of the vid where it showed the condition of the car so take it with a grain of salt LOL"........ I am confused by that statement. Why would the regular model convertible be "The cream of the crop" Between that and the "SS Coupe" which from my understanding and personal preference is MUCH more desirable and should bring a price premium due to it's "SS" designation and the Coupe hard top being a lighter car because there's no need to make it more structurally sound due to the Vert's lack of a roof support. From what little I know I thought most all verts required heavy beams and supports in the side rails or some type of strengthening method to keep it from twisting out the car when driving for years et. Perhaps the vert is more desirable due to it being the slow ride cruiser that many people used to build (I guess still do) to make a "Dingle Ball Rider" with Air ride and hydraulics. ?
@@johnjr1570 well i guess your right if you and your buddies can do engine rebuild, body restoration, paint, glass, interior, chassis rebuild, suspension rebuild yes, but if you farm things out no.
I picked up a 64 in Blackfoot Idaho , it was in weeds all I could see was the top but I knew it was a 62 63 or 64 Chevy or Pontiac I knocked on the door and old native American lady came out Ii asked if she wanted to sell the car in the weeds she said give me 75 dollars and get it out of here I went to Pocatello to get a trailer got it home I went to bye a battery, when I got back my buddy was driving up and down the street. He said all the plug wires were wrong it had white interior same color as that one no dents I drove that car for years Sold it in Utah I am from California

Amazing! Thanks for sharing, what a wild memory.
I'll buy it to keep my mother in law in..😐
Way to go Tim,another SS saved!
Even comes with a wood grain dash ...
I would bring that 57 back to life !
Best left as a parts car.
That Chevy Cab Over would make a great classic car hauler
One guys trash is another guys treasure!! Good luck with the restoration! Old girlfriends granpa owned a farm and i was wandering like you were and came across an early 60s chevy impala 2 door sitting in his barn!! Always liked those cars, wondered what happened to the car and the ex girlfriend!!

that 57 would be a cake walk for DD hackshop
Butcher it up, slap a big block in it. He's good at that
I think you made the right decision that convertible is going to take a ton of money to fix.
That Jail is so cool, one could roast to death or turn into an human ice cube in the frostie months, the Chevy cabover is so cool, I had a 1950 Diamond T cabover, I could get 50 mph out of it down hill with a tail wind, it had a nice hardwood grain box, I sold it and the guy totaled it out, well that was 30 years ago, I love you're videos Mr Goodplyers, Thank You
At 6:57:00,that Chevy COE, yes, I want it now! Loved all of the COE/Snub-noses from the Big Three. Just unique and great looking larger trucks.
Awesome finds .keep saving them impalas
My favorite car . Had many in my younger days..
The first can I ever restored was a 1964 Impala SS convertible . I'm doing a 1967 SS396 Chevelle. It's my favorite car as a kid.
Luv the '63 and' 64 Impalas. '63 Impala was my first car. My father bought a brand new '63 Impala SS. Beautiful car.
Mad Respect you are a brave man thank you for saving these impalas
I'm always amazed at the cars that people are willing to bring back from the dead. Never would have thought they had the value that they do - I get an education from Tim every time I watch this channel. Brilliant
great video again Mr. Goodpliers, very interesting and enjoyable 💯👍
A great find! So it's a little rough, definitely not that big a deal considering that you can get most of the parts for it. And it's a super sport.
Great save and a pretty good deal for someone. Glad you found that emblem.
Being a shut down safari park part of me was hoping a long forgotten lion might spring out of the bushes… 😂
The doors on that old jail cell are called “strap iron”. Fairly common in jail construction in late 1800’s to early 1900’s. Awesome stuff
I get excited when UA-cam tells me you have a new video. Never change your format and honesty. Awesome!
So this guy is just a flipper...

You use to be able to get the insides of the trunk body mounts.
Thanks for the ridea
Mr . B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. Very cool place ! Nice buy ! 👀😎👍🇺🇸
Excellent mr pliers cheers 🥂 😊
Hay man you live in a historical place thats cool 😎 a lot of bonnie and clyde history is there great video 😊
Cool video thanks again.
Good choice on the impala the hard top is my favorite 👍
My uncle had purchased a brand new 1964 impala 4 door, But I never noticed if it had a post or not. His was also maroon in color.
who cares!!!
Every part for the Impala is available including the rear body mount, also it could be ordered with a bench from factory
We need more good folks like Mr. Goodpliers keeping these classics out of the crusher.
Its a cool SS Impala. It looks better with those bumper guards. Its a interesting project. We certainly seen worce being fully restored.
I used to like convertables, but since the summers have become way too hot, I prefer the hardtops.
That International pickup truck is very cool truck.
Holy! She's rough, it's even rougher than the field 64 I just picked up. I have a complete floor plan from firewall through trunk pan btw
nice find. lot of people like 1964 impala/belair/biscayne.
Don't be in a hurry getting parts for your 64 Chevy, going to swap meets will yeald you a lot of parts for your 64, get there early, happy parts hunting, good buy!!!!!
Nice find on the door panel emblem!
That Iron jail is a piece of history that should be saved.
I was living in Siloam Springs Arkansas when I was working in the Allen's canning company, in the city plant, back in 1995
That's a good builder. 👍
I think you got the better of the Impalas. Wish the 57 closer to Apple Valley. Still lots of good pieces it.
Pretty cool history piece.

Easy fixer💯😎add a Morrison frame..sweet
Dude my grate grand maw had one white with blue lether wish it never left the place .

Nice job makeing chevy😊
cool mr goodplyers
1959 to 1964 full size Chevrolet cars need to have the cowl replaced with a factory A/C cowl in order to install factory A/C in a car that came as a factory non A/C car.
I hear those 2 impalas crying
That convertible in parts is worth some money stainless is priced up there and it has a vin number
It depresses me to think about how much work and money it will take good luck.
My family used to frequent a jail like that in Saint Joe Texas. I was thinks dang how did they not have heat stroke
There are only a limited number of days in a calendar year that a place like that would be tolerable... I'm sure it made people re-think committing crimes... or at least try harder not to get caught LOL
@@mr.goodpliers6988 might need some of those in Ca
I like that jail box
i get your thoughts 100%
That poor cabover will probably end up on a modern chassis with a stupid LS under the hood.
My brother and I in the mid-seventies had 64' Impallas. His met the end parked in a street and was totaled by a drunk driver.
That 64ss looks like the one from Cheech and chong up and smoke movie
If we still had jail cells like that, we would have virtually no crime!
Thats because the crooks would die off during the cold season.
There were jail cells like that then, why was there crime?
I'd buy that just to keep my nosy-assed mother-in-law in it sometimes...😐
We got crackheads around here I'd like to incarcerate.
At 3:20 looks like USAF so likely didn't go off base if at all.
They would pay big money for those in Japan
A two cell block could be used to store a pair of AK locals, a woman in one side and man in the other...😉😉
I need the convertible DM as a project
I don't know who bought it. I heard it sold to a local guy there in Arkansas. I quit at the $3k mark. Just too many possible variables to put out any more than that for a listing with four pictures taken from one side of the car, a vehicle that I wasn't able to preview in person
Joe ?? I n to IH's. 61 b110. Few old yards here north MN survivors from scrap yet. Also know IH Guys..
I'd love to buy the hardtop
It's available and I have filed for the title. Email me mrgoodpliers1985@gmail.com
My very first car at 16 a 64 283 Chevy impala
What ended up happening to that video player you got from the auction, did it work? Great content as always
With me I'm looking for a F-350 when I have the money for it which right now I don't. I want to strip to bear frame and drop an older body style on it
I’m looking for two 62 Chevy wagon tailgates, impala or bel air.
My dad has a set of those ss hubcaps
Awesome 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🔥🫡 #chevy
64 SS should be a floor shift car. Unless it was a 3 speed stick shift.
I want that cabover
Convertible is always worth money on impalas!

yes my GTO frame is boxed
Check out the ‘64 ( hello grandma) tell your daddy to page me ( ok playa stay up )😂❤🎉🚘
So boys and girls, spend 80 thousand dollars or more restoring the impala and when your done you have a 50 k car. Brilliant.
*Never interrupt a man determined pi$$ away money on an old rust bucket. Who knows? When done he will find another PT Barnum candidate to buy it.*
@@blackrifle6736 your right it is a free country.
Ridiculous u won't spend 80k lol u sound like these guys that don't kno how to build or where to buy your parts ,talk a walk guy
@@johnjr1570 well i guess your right if you and your buddies can do engine rebuild, body restoration, paint, glass, interior, chassis rebuild, suspension rebuild yes, but if you farm things out no.
The steel jail cell? Hey, mother in law, here's your new house! 😄😐
How is it you are never attacked by snakes?
Any idea what engine it had?
327, by the flags on the fenders. 300 HP more than likely, from the factory tach being in the dash.
Just pull some trim pieces, throw the rest away, and buy one done.!!!!!!!
Was the tree an option?
huh .. was there money under or inside of it?
Do you have to be a resident of Missouri? As a Canadian, could I pull a title? Would help with crossing the border and importing.
We are in Kansas. I may be able to help. Send me an email mrgoodpliers1985@gmail.com
TIME & MONEY, I can't see how it pays, you're lucky if you break even on this rust bucket.
5:20 from what era may they've been?
If modern prisons and jails were still built like that box, crime might drop quite a bit.
Deer Tim you never responded back to my question does the 65 ford Galaxy have a Ford 9 inch rearend and do you have a 390 please respond thank you
It’s been my experience that people looking to scam you always use crappy pictures in their auctions.
So where is this.
Dude when are you posting this hog farm auction
Unfortunately I didn't attend. There were three VERY good auctions that day and I could only pick one
I picked up a 64 in Blackfoot Idaho , it was in weeds all I could see was the top but I knew it was a 62 63 or 64 Chevy or Pontiac
I knocked on the door and old native American lady came out Ii asked if she wanted to sell the car in the weeds she said give me 75 dollars and get it out of here
I went to Pocatello to get a trailer got it home I went to bye a battery, when I got back my buddy was driving up and down the street. He said all the plug wires were wrong it had white interior same color as that one no dents I drove that car for years
Sold it in Utah I am from California
