Talk about super gutsy driving an unknown car 350 miles back to home. But, the huge never ending smile of Olivia made it worth it. Can't wait to see the resurrection of this car.
It’s not like it’s a super hard car to repair! All Mechanical, no computers or fancy added crap! Car could basically be rebuilt on the side of road by calling Amazon and having parts delivered right to your GPS on phone location!😉
@@GnarlySpeedShop... Since CA has turned so commie, consider moving east a smidge. We'd love to have you here with the Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest and Kayenta where I was nearly killed by a helicopter landing.

I've had 10 hot rods in the last 45 years, and every one of them was a garage Queen. That fear of bugs, birds and rocks always sucked the fun out of driving them. A hard lesson learned, but if it were me, I would leave the esthetics the way they are on this car, and just make it safe. Then you can drive it without worrying about dents, dings etc. etc.!!!! I wish I had done that with one of my cars!!!
I qut worrying about what ifs and drive mine almost anywhere. STill looks as fresh as the day it was painted 12 yrs ago. Get a disabled placard..never get a door ding
Don't you just love road tripping for a car? What an adventure. The wife and I just went 550 miles to pick up a 79 Blazer. Coming back through Montana it was -30 Windchill. Truck ran like a dream except the windshield washer pump quit and the Speedometer Adapter on the T Case broke and the cruise control quit. Good luck with your car!
I was born in 56 so if you could pop it in a cardboard box and post it over the the UK that would be fine 🙂Great help from the guy you got it from with the exhaust, interesting trip, looking forward to checking in on how the work gos on it. Great looking find with most of the mechanicals sorted, maybe. Good luck with it.
Congratulations Olivia! It has its issues, but at least it runs, and it made it 350 miles back home! That's better than a lot of cars. Great job, both of you! Love it!
Definitely worth the trip. The 56 doesn’t get the love like the 55 and 57 but it should and a post car. Wow I really liked this video and I LOVE the car thank you.
Marketplace has some of the best things to pick up, I purchased a 70 Cuda Sight unseen and it was the best purchase I’ve ever done. Good purchase for you.👍🏼
First time watcher, if that is the correct term. I was born in 59 But as a teenager I built model cars, and 57 was my favorite so telling my dad for first car instead of getting a newer 77 model I wanted a 57, we were not rich and I wanted to work on it more than just working all the time to pay for it I loved that car drove threw high school then had to get a truck
Yep. I'm right with you. I'm 48, and at one time, shows used to compete to see who could push the envelope the furthest and be the most vulgar-- lots of gratuitous cursing, etc. Now, its like things have gone back to a cleaner time. Its one of the few good outcomes of UA-cam's algorithm. On TV it used to be humans matched advertisers with the shows they would advertise on, so some shows could be raunchy. Now though, on YT, advertisers have no clue what kind of content their advertising will be on; consequently all content has to be wholesome-- to a certain degree.
AWESOME JOB OF SAVING THAT OL GAL... SHE JUST WANTED TO BE LOVED, CLEARLY BY THE FACT SHE MADE IT ALL THE WAY HOME FOR YOU, AND IS A TESTAMENT TO HER HAPPINESS..... SHE IS SO KOOOL, ALL THE CHARACTER AND A PROJECT THAT WILL BE FUN AND WORTH IT . CONGRATS AND WELL DONE. WAY TO GO DANNY, THAT WAS A BUMMER THE EXHAUST FUMES. GET WELL... PEACE YOU ALL. 👍👍🙏🙏🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I enjoyed this trip back in time.......I'm 73......In 1969 I bought my first car ; A car I was lookin for since tenth grade high school......It was a 1955 Belair sedan [post car ] .....A guy in my area had a 1956 convertible and it sat up just like your new 56 ,,,,I loved that 56..........
Yes, thanks for letting us tag along. It sure was a fine adventure. Glad you were able to get one of your Dream Cars Olivia & lookin forward to some more 440 Action too! Stroked & Stoked that is! Keep it Gnarly Y'all! 😎👍
Finally got to see the whole video. Quite nice to see Olivia so happy with her new drive. Totally loved your video will watch mooore. Thanks guys for being real and true (as opposed to many other YTbers). Bless you, a new fan.
That front seat is about $1000 you are lucky to get it especially since that was a old race car. People used to send them to the landfill and put buckets in. Now they are hard to find and everyone wants them.
I'm so happy for the two of you. I just bought my 93 year old neighbors 72 chevy chevelle. Its been in her family since ordering it from the factory. Her son beefed it up by doing an engine swap from a 400 to a 396. Not without dropping a 3/4 cam. Its almost all original inside and out. Sounds like a beast. Took me a couple of weeks to get it running again, but well worth it. Happy restoring to you both.👍
Holy Crap, just saw this and had to say this. In 1976 I bought my wife a 1 owner 1956 Belaire 4 door sedan with only 49K on the ODO. This was from a used car lot in Lompoc Cal. This buggy was deluxe and had belonged to the first owner who was gifted the car by his parents when he graduated. Drove it from Santa Barbara to Detroit in a 48-hour stretch. You could see the gas gauge needle drop with every mile. Sold the car for 750 bucks which is what we bought it for in order to pay tuition.
I think you've got to thank your lucky stars that you made it 350 miles w/o any major problems, i had my doubts just looking at it , but it's a cool car & you'll probably have alot of fun driving it around town.
@@GnarlySpeedShop Memories are made on the road, dont have to be pretty to have fun So many owners will never drive that much for decades what a waste. Pics are cheaper!
Love your new ride Olivia, great choice!...Of course Charger is first but you'll both have fun spare-timing-it-together into a beauty and a beast, just the way you want it...Shout out to Danny on this for all the creative wrenching, tweaks, and quirks he had to do to make it almost 400-hundred-mile-drive-worthy...Give Danny a screw a nail and a piece of wood and he'll build you a shopping mall...A Tiki toast to both of you!!!
👿🔱😈..cool old ride and she fired right up.. Thats KARMA GIRL 🤘... Lov the green windows and old gassers are my favorite old hotrods.. Best of luck getting her going...and we dont need no stinkin mufflers
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder for sure on this one guys . But with a little love and some metal work along with some new wiring and updated equipment it will be a blast . Glad your satisfied with your purchase be careful and stay safe my friends God love ya both.
I'm 73. My Aunt had a 56 Belair almost identical to that one. I loved the car but never thought to speak for it. One day when I was about 16 or 17 I went to see her and it was gone. I was heartbroken. I'm glad you found that one and glad you shared it. Thanks for the memories! I'm in North Carolina so I'm reasonably certain it's not the same car.
When I was a teenager I purchased a 1956 Chevy nomad I was the second owner. It was really nice except a little rust over the headlight. It was all original had 265 V-8 in it love that car drove it for a while and then parked it to work on my dad was an alcoholic and he sold it while I was working one day still have the title somewhere he would do anything for alcohol. I hope that bill turns out great for you.❤😊
You really should have kept the "V" off of the trunk lid. Those are not just a decoration. Those indicate that this was originally a V8 car and usually have one on the hood as well. With out those, they look like a cheep 6 cylinder car.
This car is a gasser. It was a race car. Who cares. Why do so many people now try to tell everyone else what to do! It’s their car. They can do what they want to do. If they want to throw away anything on the car that’s their prerogative.
Great video! I enjoyed every minute of it. It's the adventure that makes all of the work worth it I'm sure. Danny has a lot of guts driving that really cool '56. I like when he said he bonded with it. Whatever you do with it, you can't lose!
Congrats on your new '56. Not a bad road trip home. BTW, reason you want to use a nut driver is it never slips off and won't strip out the slot. Boomer here.
I love your sense of adventure. Whenever I drive a purchase home, I'm nervous the whole time! And my buys are in much better condition. I would have trailered that one. Kudos to you two!
One easy test is pull it inside and shut the door start it up and look at the wires with the coils exposed so you can see if any sparks are flying from the coil wires or coil to the engine. Usually if it's not obvious when you step on it that's when you will see a short//Sparks will ark. With no lights on in the pure darkness. Rodger wellco trust me if anything is arking you will see it. Those cheap wires can spark right through the outside housing it's like the 4th of July under the hood.
Very cool! Liv reminds me of my 25 year old daughter, she works on all her cars….she saved her money and has a 1962 Buick Skylark convertible, 1970 Skylark hard top and a 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix.
Once you get the trunk pans and other things squared away you will have a great car that you know what you have and do what you want with it. The best part is that you have gotten one with the post! 😄 I'm going to say that if I was going to get one it would be the same thing, I think it's great that you have gotten what you want and something that everyone else doesn't have. Bravo and I am happy 😊 that you all have gotten what you wanted and not settling for something else that you didn't want. I hope that you two have a great evening and enjoy your Friday and upcoming weekend! I will now enjoy your video as always and watch what you have planned to get started with as you figure out the way you are going to get it to be exactly as you wish it to be. A dream car is like a Lego set 📐 with a erector set that you are going to be able to get every detail as you wish it to be in the end and final stage.
I love that car. It was my first car even to the color.. I bought it in from a neighbor in 1963 for 800 dollars. It was in great condition. I was only 17 years old. I drove it until I joined the Navy. I left it for my brother to drive while I was away for a year and when I came home planning on driving it to California I found that the transmission was shot. I wanted to find one for many years to restore but I never found one. Now I’m too old to worry about an old car.
Awesome car! You will make that sweet I am sure! What great taste in cars you guys have. I had two 1957 post 210"s. One was Dusk Pearl/India Ivory and one was Sea Green/India Ivory. Love the dash on those cars.
Olivia you picked one of my favourite cars 55 56 57 chevs good luck and a lot of TLC plus $$$, so start the adventure guys’, l will be watching, love your podcasts.😎🇨🇦
The video got hit with a red flag for a song I used towards the end. I had to mute it so apologies for the quiet driving segment. 😅
Just because of that AWESOME Thumbnail I immediately subscribed.

Hey you guys rock you scored I have owned my 56 since the 70,s hope to see more.Thanks
Awesome car! so happy for you Olivia i know how much you wanted one!
We bought a new one in 1956, same color as yours, our family really liked the car, would like to have one now.
Love that color combo
The 56 is the best looking of all the tri fives. My absolute favorite.
Not a Tri-Five fan but the '56 was always my favorite.
2hundred and 8 thousand miles
Why did you get it legal and not put the plate on it
You got trash in the fuel cell the car is not too cold that's crazy there's no such thing as running too cold
The car is cool put floors in it and paint it up its worth it
Welcome to the TriFive club!
I had a 56, yellow and black “Bumblebee” car. The interior had pristine original upholstery that had been covered in clear plastic.
At first, I thought you bought Danny's 56. I have to agree on the Tri-Five post cars are so much cooler than hardtops. Congrats.
Holy Crap, just saw this and had to say this. In 1976 I bought my wife a 1 owner 1956 Belaire 4 door sedan with only 49K on the ODO. This was from a used car lot in Lompoc Cal.

Miss the days when you could buy good cars cheap. They are insane today.
Cant afford to register or gas mine up but at least I still got it.
Love that part when your testing the trunk lid. If it locks then "We Are Boned"!! I'll definitely have to use that one.
Sweet 56 Chevy good job
Congratulations Liv. Look forward to the progress you guys make on it. Feel better Danny! Thanks for bringing us along. 🍻

56 year I was born love them
That must have been a blessed year 1956 as I and that one survived the test this far ! Give GOD the glory !!!!! LIKE A ROCK !!!!!
i was born in late 56 and they were building 57s at that point maybe thats why i like 57s more lol
56 was my favourite of the tri 5s. In late 70s , a neighbour had one with a tilt front,straight axle that got me hooked on gassers.
Awesome! Luv the patina’ you saved it.. ❤️
Turquoise and white! Classic

Not the same.
Congratulations on the 56! I was also impressed by how the trunk lid matched.
Chevy Belair's are my favorite classic cars! Congratulations on your recent purchase, and good luck with it!
Congrats young lady! Good Job Driving the car Danny!
Of a handful of cars I had that I wish I had back is a 210 '56 post. You have good taste. A Bel Air , too. Fancy. ; )
Oh so fancy 😁
I've owned several 56 2-dr post Chevy's . Awesome 56 .
I was 6 years old, When My Dad drove in with, a bran new black and Yellow.
It bring back good members🥰
Stumbled onto this video, had never seen any of your videos. Very good video, no drama or made up stuff. Will subscribe. Thanks!
So great that you both are car peeps, nothing bonds a couple better than a tri-five! Very impressive "on the fly" trouble shooting.
I have a white rust free 56 truck lid just a little damage around the lock. Free to you just pick it up 👍🍻
Always use full strength antifreeze 80% to distilled bottled drinking water 20% instead of using 50/50 blend only in the reservoir 🤔👍👍👍
I don’t have a 55 Chevy yet, but that hood would of been nice wall art,,,right, thanks BigAl California.❤
Yupi !!! Success 😊 35:48
What an amazing car! Love it. You should call it "Time Bandit" Or 'RUSTY'

I'm glad you found that one and glad you shared it. Thanks for the memories!
I'm in North Carolina so I'm reasonably certain it's not the same car.
Love the paper plates on the radiator. Put new shocks on the '56. Can't wait to see you guys fix the trunk floor.
That's the plan!
Oh it’s sweet!❤
I think you can send in the speedo in if it’s bad.
Would have been nice to save that emblem on the trunk lid, but.....the mounting studs might have all broken off....good call. 👍
When I was a teenager I purchased a 1956 Chevy nomad I was the second owner. It was really nice except a little rust over the headlight. It was all original had 265 V-8 in it love that car drove it for a while and then parked it to work on my dad was an alcoholic and he sold it while I was working one day still have the title somewhere he would do anything for alcohol.

Thank you Justin!!
@@GnarlySpeedShop I’ll keep checking in to see when you get more of the t-shirts with the blue, they are sharp!
If you have to temporarily use rubber hose on a transmission , use EFI hose clamps. Smooth inside and don’t bite into the hose.
That deal on the trunk of the car is the base from an old Shakespeare, CB antenna, 70s or 80s
Cool... Just stumbled here. Really liked your adventure. Looking forward to the build. 👍
You really should have kept the "V" off of the trunk lid. Those are not just a decoration. Those indicate that this was originally a V8 car and usually have one on the hood as well. With out those, they look like a cheep 6 cylinder car.
I agree, I couldn't believe they tossed that.
Big deal , now they have an excuse to use the vee emblems ( plural ) that came on '56 Belair sport coupes and went under each taillight .
@@terencemahoney7073 i was like WHAT THE FUCK? how? WHY? nooooo!
Yeah, I would've kept the 'V' too.
This car is a gasser. It was a race car. Who cares. Why do so many people now try to tell everyone else what to do! It’s their car. They can do what they want to do. If they want to throw away anything on the car that’s their prerogative.
One of the cool parts about a 56 is the left taillight opens for the gas cap. Buckets YUCK!!! Use a bench seat! Tuck n roll interior would be nice.
Great video! I enjoyed every minute of it. It's the adventure that makes all of the work worth it I'm sure. Danny has a lot of guts driving that really cool '56. I like when he said he bonded with it. Whatever you do with it, you can't lose!

I love this addition to the fleet 1 was born in 55 and this my favorite tri 5 BelAir still is one of my many dream cars!!
That’s a beautiful 56 ❤ I love the patina. It’s a shame you couldn’t retain the original blue plate at DMV.
I know!
Keep updated love to see how it comes out
Love these kind of videos. Great job guys ! 🤟🏻
That car is sick! The color and patina are super cool.
SaWeet ! You two kids be livin car life 😎exhaust poisoning 😮glad your alright Danny☮️
what you never drove a stock car ? reduced oxygen makes ya live longer to a point lol

Thank you!! You'll have to come by sometime to check it out :)
Heck yes! I'm cruising over when you get that glitter steering wheel put on 🤙
Being a truck driver I always used cardboard with bungee cords to hold the cardboard in place . Nice rescue of an oldie ....

Dreams do come true! So happy for you guys!
My dad had that same model and color when I was a kid. I used to lay above the rear seat and look out the rear window on trips to Grandma's house.
I'm 70 and 56 has always been my favorite!
What an Amazing Old Car!!! It would make for amazing series mechanical restoration!
Very cool! Liv reminds me of my 25 year old daughter, she works on all her cars….she saved her money and has a 1962 Buick Skylark convertible, 1970 Skylark hard top and a 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix.
That is a rare beauty well worth the time and effort. The Chevy is nice too.
56 is the best year in my opinion, I got mine 12 years ago with a tree growing inside it.

Awesome to see the younger generation keeping the culture alive!!
She is just so excited you can get see it her face ,
That's really good for a buyer , good find , beautiful
I love that car. It was my first car even to the color.. I bought it in from a neighbor in 1963 for 800 dollars. It was in great condition. I was only 17 years old. I drove it until I joined the Navy. I left it for my brother to drive while I was away for a year and when I came home planning on driving it to California I found that the transmission was shot. I wanted to find one for many years to restore but I never found one. Now I’m too old to worry about an old car.
I really enjoyed your adventure with the 1956 Chevrolet Belair. I owned a 1965 Chevy II NOVA 327cid back in the 1980’s. Good memories.
Wow!
Stance and colors are killer on this one!
Tri Five chevies are friggin timeless!
Just keep it on the road and drive while you restore... don't park it and forget it.... super cool car
