FORGOTTEN 1969 Chevelle will it RUN AND DRIVE 500 miles home?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I bought a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle online site unseen from a town that I thought was in Iowa, but it turns out it was in Illinois. After finally getting there, upon inspection, the car had not been plated since 1979, and had not run for many, many years. Basically, it was abandoned in this driveway for 30 years. I spent all day Saturday and all day Sunday getting it running once again - and then attempt a 500 mile road trip home in it!!! NO trailers in this episode!

    New subscriber. You're killing it out there guy. Very raw and honest of how it's really done. Diagramicals? Eh, gapped. She'll get her. You have the catch phrases and the neat video to keep the attention of goldfish. I say hotrod needs to make you one of their main think tankers. Keep it up guy, one of the best channels out here.

Probably the riskiest was an 81 Fiat X1/9 my son bought for me for $500 that had been sitting for about 5 or 10 years in Colorado. I loaded a suitcase with tools and parts and bought a 1 way ticket. I spent almost week getting it roadworthy. I drove it around the Denver area to visit family, then drove it 1200 miles home to California! It ran like a champ. Not a single problem! I even took highway 50, America’s loneliest highway! Anyway, love the videos. Keep it up.

You share just the right amount of detail to teach the same things over time, so we understand both the importance of the order you follow, and why some things like three gauges matter at highway speeds, or why the engine is still running...alternator works. These videos are priceless, and we're all so much better off for feeling in a way like we spent three chilly days in Illinois with you.

    Thanks Derek for bringing back memories of my long deceased Dad helping me put life into a forgotten 71 Challenger I found behind a car dealership left for dead in 85. We stuck a battery in, poured oil and gas in it, put on some used tires, got her running and I paid 200.for a clean title to a rust free straight solid ride. After tweaking on it, cleaning it and tuning herbup I drove her for 2 years but the memories will last forever. Wish I still had her but she went to a good home.
