I had two police package Caprices just like this car only a couple of years newer and the police package Caprices had only one key to control everything. I don’t know why all cars came with just one back then. It was much more convenient.

@@tbirdhomer That’s true

I had a 1983 Caprice Classic. Owned it for 31 years. THE greatest car I've ever owned. Had a 5.0L V-8 (305 CID), which is exactly the same engine that yours has. That engine compartment is IDENTICAL to mine. If it were me, and if it's in decent shape, I'd leave everything under that hood exactly as you found it. This includes the air pump and any other factory stuff. In the time I drove mine, it NEVER stalled at a red light on a cold morning, and it seldom required more that 2 cranks to kick over. The Rochester Quadrajet was as rugged and reliable as an anvil. It made emissions perfectly. Mechanics used to remark about its originality to me. I never changed the distributor, rotor, module, wires... nothing! These cars are bulletproof. I gave it good oil at regular intervals. The only major drive train issue I ever had was the tranny pump in the 700R4 (which was a common item to fail on these). Thanks for giving this car the TLC it deserves. I hope it gets a happy owner to give it another 40 years of service.

Not that one. It's a worn out rust bucket ready for the crusher. It isn't worth anything. The was a nice car when it was new but it's worn out. But I do agree that nice well cared for examples of these cars from the 1980's may bring a good price but generally speaking most cars from the1980's except certain sports cars aren't considered to be collectable. It just wasn't a great decade but cars were getting better by the end of the 1980's as technology advanced.

What I like about this 1985 Chevy Impala I love the front ends four-eyed headlights, Chevy bow tie on the grill and chrome. Front bumper. I like the rear tail light panel. Overall. I love this body style along with its brother the Chevy Caprice. You guys are going to do this car justice and getting it cleaned in detailed and hopefully running again. Please keep up the good work

Helpful tip! If you guys ever get an intake fire, crank it over again. It will extinguish the flames. Be careful doing this if it’s actually getting fuel, but for the ones you’re trying to run on starting fluid this is the way.

ooooh man, this is going to be so satisfying to watch. I love detailing

Great job guys. Have a wonderful day.

Wow, another really satisfying video… it’s crazy that the vinyl roof is in such good shape and the rest of the car is worse for wear… usually it’s the other way around, but you brought back the shine, and great job on the interior!

Nice Impala! Not too many out there anymore. Makes me think of the car chases like To Live And Die In LA, Running Scared, and Thunderheart.

Those different wheels/hubcaps are rally wheels, which usually have beauty rings and center caps like Monte Carlos.

Thank you..thank you! For doing an 80's car! Yes it was the malaise era for cars, but if you lived through it there are some truly wonderful memories of these cars. This Impala is somewhat rare with a factory vinyl top and AC. It would have been someone's pride and joy when new. Had to chuckle at the burgundy sport mirror off another car. That plush carpet was great.. not like today's velcro stuff.. We did not have a ton of safety features, but we have marvelous carpet to bleed out on!! 😂 Keep up the good work fellas.

Absolutely love your videos. Great to watch gefore bed. Soothing. May I suggest you obtain a few moveable partitions/walls that you can put on the opposite side of the vehicle when you are pressure washing. Could keep all the nasty spray from getting all over your shop. Keep up the hard work! The older/rarer/longer untouched the vehicle the more enjoyable the video. Cheers gentleman.

It's an old rally wheel cap, they had them on a lot of older Chevy's back in the day. 👍

Excellent video-for traction I used four lead bricks in the trunk as I live in a winter climate.

My first car was an 88 caprice so this brings back some memories. Spent two days when i first got it detailing and doing paint correction. What i would give to go back to 96.

My grandfather had a 1984 Impala 4 door that was in dark red back in the late 80s. Had a color matched interior as well. I would go for rides in that car often when I was a kid. Miss those days.

The good old sandbag trick for better traction in the winter. Car looks amazing after the detail

If the existing engine runs well, I definitely would NOT swap it out!

Something satisfying about the detailing restoration of a "normal" car. Kudos!

Love all your videos but the ones under 30 minutes are my favourite so I can watch them on my break at work lolol. Also, the biohazard ones are, for some reason, my favourite as well hahah.

this car looks almost brand new, and i love that grey paint on it. shame it didn't turn on but i think she has a chance after all, i hope someone will rescue her. amazing job as always btw

Nice job on the Impala ! 👍

I love the way you guys clean the cars. But you can easily get all those stains out if you mix a carpet cleaner and and oxy clean in hot water and use that a pre treatment!! Thank me later. But let sit for about 3 to 4mins

If you guys were to open another shop in texas I'd like to work with you guys. Detailing for me is so calming

Old Chevy looks pretty good! Nice job guys.

Amazing

And love a good detailed back story too 😎

The square key is the ignition key the round on is to the doors, trunk and glove box. Looks like the PO had a couple nice boxy Caprice/Impalas. The front rims are a style of GM rally rim…I believe the Corvette/Camaro/Monte Carlo all had that style.

This is my style for sure! I wish you guys do more of these antique Square bodies. Patiently waiting on you guys to do G Bodies as well. Love you guys content.

Pressure washing is the best bit😅

I love it. Growing up, my grandma's best friend had one of these, except the exterior and interior were in a beautiful emerald green. Whenever I got the chance to ride in the back, I literally felt like a prince being paraded around on a motorized pillow :D

Gonna scream and holla bout this Chevy Impala!

The best ballast you can use for winter driving is bags of salt. Then you can use it if you or someone else gets stuck! Also keep a shovel and if you're really hardcore, keep an actual recovery kit, or tow ropes, snatch block, and a come-along.

Always great videos..... and excellent work ✌🏾💪🏾

I think the main thing you use to clean the interior is, Elbow grease !

That Rallye wheel goes back to 1968, offered as an option. 14'' and 15''. I really like that 1979 Caprice you have there in the corner. Nice clean up of the Impala :)

The odd wheel is a Chevy Rally wheel. They were available on pretty much every Chevy in the mid 60s thru the late 70s. The were/are a very popular wheel.

That's a great find guys really enjoying your videos

Fun fact - in the mid-1980s Chevrolet outfitted a few Caprice Wagons with C4 Corvette powertrains as chase cars for hauling parts while keeping up with Corvettes on test track. Look it up. Nice find!

Yes that wheel came on Corvettes, Camaros, Chevelles, and Novas. They are called Rally wheels. They came out with a 5.0 which was the 305 V-8.

Again great video. Old school Americana

Brent, everything you guys do is cool.

Another great job guys ❤

This is a great find. You guys are awesome! 😊

I have a soft spot for these cars. My first car was a 77 Caprice Classic. It was beat and worn out but I took that car everywhere until it caught fire one day and sadly that was the end of that. I hope to find another one of these some day and really appreciate it like it deserves

Might want to remove the paper air filter when trying to put out a fire. Keep this V8 if it is running well, why swap? Lastly, what does the undercarriage look like?

HEY BRENT AND RJ, You guys always ask us a question in videos so I have a question for you!!!! What do the owners do with the cars you clean up for them? Do they get them back on the road or do they generally sell them????

It's a conventional Chevy rallye wheel that came factory for the Corvette, Chevelle,and any Chevrolet model car ordered,but was most seen on the Corvette.awesome and beautiful impala.thumbs up...👍💯😎🇺🇲❤️✝️

I love it when detailers throw some nice shine on the tires that are god knows how old and shouldn’t be driven on.

Ive always loved those style chevy impalas/caprice classics. They are like the square bodies of the car world

You guys got a start using a scrub brush instead of an orbital iPad that you’re using because you’re not getting all the dirt out of the carpet started going over it 34 times when you can use the scrub brush and get deep down in there to get all the dirt out big super fan of your channel. Love your videos keep making some more awesome videos. Thanks.

Nice clean up looks good 👍

Nice one, guys!

I have a soft spot for 80s cars, this is a good one. 👍

good car! good work !

I wish so badly you guys had a second channel where these cars would go to a shop and get fully working and all bodywork be completed. The detailing is fantastic, but I always want to see the rest done.

I have a much newer Impala! Love the older Chevy's though! Great job guys! Love your videos!

Awesome job👍🏾

It looks like a 305 engine. I wouldn't swap it as long as it was running good. The most I'd do is an engine overhaul and possibly put a performance cam in it for a little upgraded performance and exhaust.

These were everywhere when I was a kid. Damn shame they aren’t common anymore

I love these cars and that’s also not surprising for a new GM product to had so many problems

I have swapped out the motors on two of these cars for GM crate motors and one car made over 400hp and went 11s in the quarter mile. It was very fast for what it was

Nice outcome. I still wanna see the early RX-7 that was in the garage with the FD aye👀

Nice job guys. Great to see you out in front of the camera Brent :)

Impala? It should be called Pregnant Hippopotamus! Chevrolet, none of the moving parts hit against each other, so it will run! Great clean up guys, looks like it was a real "barn" car, was that cow poop? Okay, RJ gets first prize for car sounds. How's the Stair Master challenge going?

As a fellow Brent, I know Brent can knock out that beast of a car!!!!

That hubcap that was different was also used for the 1st gen camaros!

Hi guys ... Love from INDIA DARJELLING ❤ Can your product delever in INDIA

Yes, that looks like a Corvette wheel and likely has the 305 V8 engine. We used to have those as fleet cars for the company I worked for back in the mid-1980s. Now, I see them as ghetto cruisers with gigantic wheels that are worth more than the car! 🤣🤣

Um abraço do Brasil!

My great uncle had an impala like this . The engine in his if I remember correctly was a 305. The automatic trans in these model impalas were weird in how they operated.

Love your videos ❤❤

These cars where actually quite nice. Even where orderable with the diesels! and I've seen a few. Not popular though. maybe in the EU I've seen the most of them. Super cool detail! I can't believe how dirty the carpet was.

Safety tip: When fire comes out of the carb, cease to spray starter fluid and continue to spin the engine over with the starter. It will harmlessly suck the flame back into the engine.

Great transformation guys. Nice to see cars from my 20’s. I assume this one was built in the 1970-1980’s because of the leather landau roof

I'm guessing the owner of this Impala used those "ballast bags": in the trunk for traction in snowy weather. I did the same with my Dodge Dart using 100 lbs of ice melt. Made improved traction in deep snow possible.

Good job bro ❤️❤️

In the early 1990s, we had a 1982 Impala that looked very much like this one, even had the Landau top and the same pinstripe & interior color. Only difference was the paint was silver, not gray. My parent's bought the car after I was T-boned in my mom's '84 Ford Tempo, and they needed something cheap (I think they paid ~$1500 for it) while waiting on the insurance company to pay out.

No fish-tailing in the snow❄️

I love watching your videos. My knowledge of cars is how to drive one, gas them up, check the oil, and change the tires. I drive a 2018 Impala. I prefer the newer cars because of the much better features. Though I don't know that much about cars, I'm older so I know a little more about our bodies. I think you need to invest in a table instead of washing the floor mats and stuff on the floor. Maybe get something like a metal patio table so you aren't doing so much work being bent over. I'm just saying. Littleton Colorado 😊

Great work as always. Odd car to work on. They made millions of these and they're about as collectible as a chewing gum wrapper. I can't count how many of these I rode in or drove.

I do appreciate how you folks do not discriminate between age and or/ model of vehicles. Most of the cars from the 1980’s were stinkers and this one included. I suppose to someone younger this car may be of value. Love what you guys are doing though! Thanks again for an entertaining video!
