It's Friday the 13th and Dylan has a Chevy. Dogs and cats living together. MASS hysteria!

After a while these cars develop a personality of thier own, this is one of those cars that just wanted to live, she wasn't ready for the pastures yet. Good job for letting this old girl live again

I agree with this comment. Old cars certainly have some kind of personality, indescribable spirit perhaps. I once bought a 1964, maybe it was a 65, Malibu wagon. It had not started in 40 years. I got it running in less than an hour; I even drove it around the block. The weird thing is; this car still had the original AM radio (non working of course) when I drove it around the block back to my property, I pulled into the gates and to my surprise oldies music came on, the radio came to life.

Awesome! Even though I'm a mopar guy, it's great to see something different in your channel once in a while. The Trans Am, The Datsun...... Keep 'em coming!

I pulled my grandfather's 62 impala ss out of the woods that had been sitting since 1985 and the accelerator pump worked on it also. New battery, fluids, coil, plugs, and wires where rats had chewed through some and a new vacuum advance and she fired right up

Bought one exactly like this car back in 73. Same color ,engine and interior. Put 238000 miles on it before the rear frame section dissolved. Wonderful car.

My dad bought me a 72 Chevelle SS 454 4speed car when i was 14. It was a father son project that we restored together I'm 41 now and i still have it. Drive it every summer

What a great old car! That fast idle solenoid was generally used on air conditioning systems. It kicked the idle up while stopped at a traffic light, for instance, so the compressor could circulate in the AC system properly. Of course, on late model cars, the old computer just keeps the idle at a constant no matter what.

In high school one of my friends had a 72 it was a350 4speed car he still regrets getting rid of it absolutely love seeing these old cars being rescued and put back on the road

Seeing you work on a GM was an entertaining novelty. I'd be twice as lost on a Mopar. 😉

The rochester 2 jet is an easy to work on carb and leave it on there. They are a really decent 2 barrel. Get the brakes and exhaust fixed and an oil change and you have a daily driver.

Great intro Dylan, I'm sure it will be taken care of in your caring hands. Great job getting it running and saving another ol classic muscle car! Never gets old my friend!!! All the best!

She's beautiful! Sounded healthy too!

Great find

Enjoying this build. My older brother (now passed) had a '72 Chevelle 'Heavy Chevy'. It was a one year only model and there weren't many made but he loved his. After all these years I've never seen any restored examples or any for sale in the obvious sale sites. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Dylan, this is a great channel mate, really informative and fun to watch because things don't always go to plan! Keep it up mate, Cheers from New Zealand

Thank you Dylan for getting this old girl going. Can’t wait to see what you do to her. Thank you for sharing

I use to own a 1971 Malibu Chevelle it had the original 307 V8 with a 350 hydrmatic transmission with turbo only thing was the engine needed rebuilt cause my foot was heavy on the gas pedal I drove it for awhile until I burnt the rings in it and the timing went bad on it last I heard it wounded up in Jacksonville FL I was younger when I had it I just drove it until it couldn't be drove anymore if I hadn't been hard on it and took better care of it I'd still have the Chevelle Malibu on today they are great cars now that I'm older I wouldn't mind owning another one I'd take more care of it now keep up the good work Dylan the car ran great

Snakeskin Chevelle feels like a great name for this survivor. great work as always Dylan!

I have been looking for a 71 or 72 chevelle for some time, but everything I find is extremely expensive, you are blessed to find one that is not expensive by the look of it. Great video.

Omg Dylan has a chevy! Just teasing. Cool vid. After 32 years I'm impressed. Thought for sure it would take longer to fire off. That excellorator pump must've been made on a Wednesday....lol.

Nice! Yup, I had a 70 Chevelle Malibu back in 78 to 93. Maroon with a black vinyl top. Cragar SS front and rear, but the rear was jacked up with air shocks, and the rear Cragar SS were 10 inches wide with some big ol' fat tires sticking out a couple of inches.. The original owner ordered it with a manual 3 speed transmission with a Hurst floor shifter, and the Super Sport dash, with the tach and every guage possible, also a bench seat and A/C. Oh yeah, a 350 engine with a 4 barrel carb. I was the second owner. It was 8 years old and I paid 800 bucks for it and then I put on the tires and wheels and air shocks, all from PepBoys. Fun times. Thanks Dylan for letting me remember the good ol days. Hope y'all have a wonderful evening and weekend.

I love that you save some of these old gorgeous cars that are rare and abandoned

I am so glad you found my car for me, I will be right over to pick it up.

my first car a 72 Malibu, you brought back great memories. Thanks Dylan

It's nice to see a Chevy once in a while in between all those Dodges and Fords. See how easy it was to get going. Like a rock!

That was a lot of fun...great video.

I am glad to finally see you with a Chevrolet and especially a Chevelle. Having restored a 1970 Chevelle SS 454 (clone) and a 1969 Malibu 350, I will be figuratively watching over your shoulder all the time and wishing I could be there to give you pointers as you progress. That solenoid on the carburetor is to increase the idle a little when the air conditioner compressor is running and putting a little load on the engine. You will find that parts for the Chevelle and 350 are easy to find and cheaper than your Mopar parts. I sold my 1970 Chevelle SS in January and had to clean out my garage so I gave away all my left over parts to another restoration project. If the Chevelle is rust free you have a real gem there that has a lot of potential. I am a disabled senior now and unable to handle another restoration project now myself, but I would love to have a Chevelle Malibu with a 350 2 barrel and factory air conditioning. It would be a comfortable car and better gas mileage than the 4 barrel big block I just sold.

Hows a 4barrel on a 350 sound? Good or bad combo ? I got a 71 elco with a swapped 350/edelbrock carb, not sure what year as I haven’t seen or looked for the stamping. Bought it as is and got I running after year and a half of sitting. I’d love to find out on that though. Also haven’t officially driven it yet as I’m having a bit of a lighting issue. Brake lights don’t come on. Only driven in the day time around my block. Any tips? Took it to a mechanic, he said might be the turn signal switch issue. I’m fairly new though, so lots to learn still

@@rodrigogarcia1296 check your fuses and brake light bulbs. There is a switch at the top of the brake pedal that controls the brake lights. I think that if the other lights were working, it would probably be the brake pedal switch. That switch may be worn out and is easily replaced, but it may just need adjusting. My brake pedal switch was adjusted too tight and the brake lights would sometimes get stuck in the on position.

I LOVE the introduction to this haha! it's *quite* refreshing

What a great intro!! Oh...and of course the rest of the video is excellent as well!

Wow Dylan got it running so quick that’s great! The owner will definitely be happy too see it back on the road!

Very cool vehicle, nice work Dylan!!

One of my dream-cars - I would definitely like to see a part 2. From '81-83, I was working at a VW repair shop and my boss had one of those Cordovas with the giant taillights.

Great work Sir thank you

Get her a fender and a couple patch panels and she’ll be driving like new 👍🏼

Can’t wait. My first car was 1972 Chevy Chevrolet Chevelle. Paid $1200 dollars my junior year of high school. Best car I ever owned.👍🏿

AWESOME VIDEO!

Lmfao at the Intro 🤣🤣 @Dylan McCool

I love old 1960, 1970 and 1980 revivals! This was great!!!

The solenoid at the carb is a anti-diesel solenoid. You set the idle by turning the shaft in or out. You shut off the car, the solenoid drops off and prohibits air from entering the carb which will keep the engine from back running (dieseling) 3 connections on the starter solenoid 1st Big post is for starter power and power to fuse panel. 2nd small is for power to activate solenoid. 3rd post is for 12v to distributor for start up. Then drops off to 8 volts via resistance wire when starter is disengage. 3rd connection is not always used depending on the application. When going to start an engine that’s been sitting for a long time, make sure to turn the crank over by hand two full revolutions prior to hitting the starter. This is to make sure a valve isn’t stuck from sitting. You can do big damage if one is stuck. It’s a good precaution to always take on an engine that has been sitting that long. Use GAS to start a gas engine. Starting fluid is for Diesel engines. Hope this info is helpful. I’ve been working on cars for a long time.

Congrats Dylan on getting the 72 chevy running, don't forget to put water in the rad.

LOVE THIS CHEVY STUFF!

Sweet! I think Dylan needs a Chevelle!

So smooth! I just turn 50 last month and that's what I would find for a budget hotrod for me. Or a 72 Oldsmobile 350 just because it's easy to find mechanical parts. I'd love to find something while I can still work on something like that.

Warms my heart. I had a 73 nova.

Oh my gosh. I bought that EXACT car in 1978 when I was in high school and paid for it working as a bag boy in a grocery store. Same color exterior, interior, and vinyl top. Owned it through my college years and it had seen it's better days. Oh the stories I could tell about the times I had in that car and all of the wrenching I learned.

My 3rd car was a 71 Malibu. It had a front clip from a rebuild. It was a great car. 350, quadrajet, if my memory serves me. I had it when my wife and I married in 1973. I kept her about 3 years.
