Making me miss my 73 Caprice Classic with 454/TH400.
hi there. enjoy the heck out of your vids. thanks for takin' us along....
No tool is the wrong tool if you don't break anything and you get the job done! I love my 72 Impala that was bought new by my grandparents. 400 small lock with TH350 trans and only 70k miles on it. The torque is quite impressive for a low compression engine pulling over 2 tons of car!
I really love your old 2 door Chevy. Nice find.
I had one exactly like that, with a 400 cubic inch engine. The interior was brown, not white. I bought mine used in '74. It was one heck of a car.
23:11 Late 80's Olds 88 coupe in the background.... Growing up, neighbors had 72 Impala coupe like yours, also 400 cid in the butterscotch color 'Driftwood'. Our 72 Kingswood same color & motor
Sure is a lot easier for me to sit in my lazy chair and watch Mr Pliers work on old cars than for me to drag my butt down to the shop and get anything done myself.
Keep up the excellent work Mr. Goodpliers
It's fun watching the discovery of relics in the barn! My favorite pieces were the valve grinder, tail pipe stand, and the Cities Service can.

I agree!
So cool! I am impressed by how you were careful, and methodically disassembled the steering column and shift linkage so the car could be moved, instead of just smashing the key out, or yanking the car around "as is". My first car was a 73 Caprice coupe, drove it over 240,000 miles with the original engine and tranny. The northeast weather finally consumed it though. I can honestly say that if someone offered my any car, I would chose that car in new condition, perhaps in convertible form with a 454 though. I dream of having the skills/money/facility to do a frame off restoration on one of these great cars.
1972 Chevy Caprice is my dream car one day I'm going to have one
Nice score on what you got
Enjoyed......................... 👍👍👍

Thanks for stopping by the channel Throttle Power!
I had a 73 Impala sport coupe and seeing the 72 makes me miss my car a lot
my brother in-law had exactly the same car same color and yeah the white interior in the late 80's the previous owner gave him an extra set of wire wheels with it he put them on a couple times for a couple weeks but it looked better with the factory hub caps I think and the interior was spotless I always liked these cars since then I have pics of that car of course I'm in it lol I was 10 years old lol thanks for sharing mr goodpliers
Cool finds!!! As a kid I would place one matchbox car under a tire, wait for my mom or dad to leave. It was easier to pretend it was wrecked.

Hey any recommendations when I can find them?
When I was in High School I had a friend who's folks had a brand new 72 Impala. Man, that was a sweet ride.
Great video! Hope you'll take us along when you work on these "new" cars.
I have the same year. 72’s FTW
Yeah the curved back window of the Impala’s are cool. Plus you got a bunch of old goodies. 😎👍🇨🇦
You always get some great stuff at these auctions! I got grass manure out of the small letters!!
i'm dig'n it man, dig'n it!
Very nice video! I remember in the fall of 1972 seeing the 1973 model Chevy's, it was the first year for the 10 mph style bumper. 72 and 73 were the last years you could buy a nice car before all the regulations started to take hold, then they started to use that cheap steel, its just amazing what a 1975 Cadillac would look like in 1980, in Chigo, very rusty.

Good eye snagging that 58 Fury Wheelcover. I owned a 58 for 30 years so that wheelcover really caught my attention.
Dear Mister Goodpliers... ''Them that mind don't matter & them that matter don't mind.''
I can remember when I was a teen I was going to buy a car exactly like this I had big ambitions for this car I was going to put white letter tires on it mag wheels and dual exhaust but the car was sold out from underneath me I always like these cars they were just simply nice vehicle
I had one of those same color. I took the 400 small block out of it and put it in a 70s nova.
Nice video, from Brazil
Dear Mr. Goodpliers, every tool has a hammer side.
Any tool is the correct tool for any job.
They love turning those old Imps and Caprices into Donks. Shawn from Street outlaws or his youtube channel 187 Customs loves those old chevys
"Maybe I should buy a vowel" That's funny!
Wise man once said "any tool can be the right tool".
That Camero needs a restoration.
Freind has a white one with a factory 454, had the factory looking 454 emblems in the grill and on the fenders. Pretty sure his is the same year

Those were really nice cars in their day, back when Chevy made a quality car.
Love it!
Do people really say things about your tool usage? I knew you were finding some awesome stuff and then you found the license plates, Oh!!!! Man I almost fell out of my rocking chair. 👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸
These are big but very cool after 1970 the 71-76 impalas and caprices started taking on a lot of Oldsmobile influence or styling and as l get older it's not a bad thing they just look less sporty and more luxury
My first car was a 72 Caprice with a 400 small block. It wasn't a coupe though. It was a green on green four door. Specs say it had 175 horsepower. But it felt like more because it would smoke the tires.
Curious doggo. Was hoping he would follow you around the barn too.
Awesome as always mate 👍🏼 Keep powering 🚀
It’s got that king Tutts tomb layer of dust just right🖖🏼🍺🏍
The Impala Custom Coupe had the same roofline with the concave rear window as the Caprice Coupe. The Impala SPORT Coupe had a different sloped rear window and smaller rear trunk lid.

The lock plate tool is very handy, you need one
The “hammer” is one of the oldest tools in existence. Ancient people used whatever they had as a hammer, so why can’t we? No need to reinvent the wheel lol
Dear Mr. Goodpliers, you have been summoned to return to the Diesel College for reevaluation of your mechanical inclination
Why are the project's that need the most are the funnest ?
Really dig the channel, but stuff in the 70s eh. I owned some of them.

Yeah, I know...'70's and 80's?? But I have to realize 50 years and that's the stuff I was looking for in the '70's when doing model A's.
On the word Scrabble.... Sangarees farm ?? Plus no "u" needed... Just a thought ...
Im not a GM guy but.... that car as a 2 door ....I think is worth spending money on....its got it's own kind of presence in the fuselage body style era. Mopar nailed it .. even mastered it and led in that design era like the forward design cars. Only lasted maybe 3 0r 4 years because...THIS CAR......IMO..... HAS THAT FUSELAGE LOOK WITH THE ....PUT A WEIGHT ON MY GRILLED CHEESE....COPY? ITS FLATTERERER.....LOL AND THE DECK LID WITH THE VENTING....ETC... FROM ABOVE LOOKING DOWN....PRETTY... TAILLIGHTS ARE COOL..... DRIVETRAIN COULD BE A BIG BLOCK NO PROBLEM... GOT DISK BRAKES....I RAMBLE.... SURPRISINGLY ...I LIKE IT Also... if a crescent wrench isn't used as a hammer what is it used for? CHEERS God BLESS y'all
That hotwheels toy is worth more then the real car...
Hey got to do whatcha got to do an use what u got.
Parts car.. picking old signs, tools is money in the bank..don't what the market is in your state.. but I can definitely say I see 72s impala coupe driver quality for under 1k in Central and Northern California..ones that bring in bucks is 55 through 66 and 74 to 76.
72 last good yr 4 the Impalas, 73 on up had impact bumpers, ruin the looks on them, plus all additional air pollution bull crap
Splitdorfs were used on model D John Deeres and maybe the Waterloo Boy.
Was that a snow tire i seen?
Hold on now, adjustable wrenches are only good for smacking things.
Why not replace the entire floor when you've removed the front and back doors? It looks like you'd have plenty of room and you wouldn't have to install from the front.
Poor teens bought these back in 1988 and became the all ways asking for gas money ride.
