We work on and collect classic cars, specifically Pontiacs! In the videos, I'll talk about how to bring these old cars back from the dead and get them driving again, most of the time for as cheap as possible. Old cars are a lot more fun when you can drive them!
30s & 40s Ford Parts Hoard Walk Through! Plus Some Pontiac Pieces!
Dave, Stacey, and I took a trip to a really neat place that Dave got acquainted with. What really caught my interest when we were first talking about it was rumor of some new old stock Pontiac fenders! He absolutely wasn't joking. I spent the day rummaging through two buildings of a sixty year collection, trying to find every 1950s and newer Pontiac part I possibly could. We came home with a great haul. Dave found a lot of NOS 50s and 60s Ford trim pieces, emblems, plus a killer 1958 Ford pedal car. I found 4 NOS fenders, fender skirts, old tools, and some other small parts. I was absolutely blown away with the amount of 30s and 40s Ford parts, though. There were piles of brand new engine parts, dashes, interior and exterior trim, NOS body parts, wheels, wiring, you name it. The owner of everything said he used to drive around the country to dealerships and buy all the old NOS parts he could get his hands on, and it definitely showed. Out of respect for the owner, I won't reveal the location of the parts, and I hope that anybody that recognizes the place doesn't mention it either. Thanks for watching!

In a moment of weakness, I bought this 1964 Chevy C60 straight truck on a Big Iron auction. It was sitting on a ranch in the Nebraska Sandhills where it was used for many years, until the ranch bought a semi to haul grain with. This old truck is equipped with a 327 engine, 4 speed transmission, 2 speed rear differential, and a 16 foot grain box with a two cylinder hoist. I bought it sight unsee...

Some time last summer, we bought this 1966 Pontiac Catalina Convertible and a 1967 Grand Prix convertible from a fella in Illinois. Both of them had locked up engines and the Grand Prix is highly optioned with the convertible top, cornering lamps, bucket seats with head rests, air conditioning, and a bunch of other options I can't recall. This Catalina, aside from being a convertible, didn't ge...

Last summer we bought this 1966 Pontiac 2 2 convertible in southern Missouri on the Arkansas border. It had sat in a hay barn for about 15 years. I purchased it from the owner's widow who was so happy to see it go to someone that reminded her of her husband when he bought the car decades ago. The old hot rod has a lot of great options including a convertible top, power windows, power antenna, a...

Barn Find 1964 Pontiac Catalina Runs & Drives After 30+ Years!
มุมมอง 192K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
We bought a 1963 and 1964 Pontiac Catalina from an estate in central Nebraska. Both cars sat next to each other in a barn since the late 80s/early 90s. In this video, I try to get both of the cars running and driving. The 1963 is a 4 door sedan 389 and the 1964 is a 2 door coupe 389. I had more luck with one car than the other! Some steps that were highlighted in the video were tuning the ignit...

We bought these two 1959 and 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertibles from a farmer in central Nebraska who had them in his shed for over 30 years. We were able to buy seven old Pontiacs from him. His father bought the cars in the late 80s and early 90s. His son had no recollection of any of the cars running since his father bought them. The 1959 has license plates from 1984 and the 1960 has plates...

มุมมอง 14K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video, I surprised my friend by putting his late-brother's 1967 Pontiac LeMans (GTO clone) convertible back on the road for the first time in 38 years. This 1967 LeMans has nearly every GTO-specific piece on it. Under the hood is a 400 CI Pontiac engine with a Turbo 400 transmission. It was parked back in 1986. The old hot rod was in beautiful shape despite its long hibernation. I had a...

We bought TWO white 1963 Pontiac Catalina 4 doors! Both 389 cars, one manual transmission, one auto, one is a sedan, and the other is a four door hardtop! The sedan was purchased running and driving. The hard top allegedly didn't run. In this video, I get the hard top running and back on the road for the first time in 12 years, while spending as little money as possible!

We bought this 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix on an auction in central Nebraska. The previous owner purchased this car, as well as several others, in the late 80s-early 90s and never got around to restoring them. All of the cars sat dormant in various barns until the auction.

1963 Pontiac Catalina Sat For 23 Years! Will It Run?
มุมมอง 22K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
We pulled this 1963 Pontiac Catalina coupe out of a field from where it sat for 23 years. The engine was stuck I attempted to make it run again. It has a 389 CI engine with a 2 barrel carb, Roto Hydromatic automatic transmission, and Saf-T-Trac rear end. Despite being a really neat looking car, it appears to be suitable as only a parts car. Nevertheless, it's great knowing that we have a runnin...
How does a guy get ahold of seller to buy some parts?
Do you have an om meter check the ohms on it and pull your arm up and down and it’ll tell you if it works there too those gases they’re like the old Rector set need more help on Pontiac. You can get in touch with me. I would have to give you my phone number somehow.
Pontiac are always hard starters. You always had the pump so when you try starting it, give it gas fill the bowls up so it’s got gas when it starts. Make sure hole in the carburetor will get a little a lot of gas.
It’s not the carburetor fault they like gas you’re giving it a little tickle of gas give it more carburetors fine all you gotta do is just fill up and give it a good squirt, then open dog gone throttle
good work 58:28

This is horde of Ford parts. I saw a speaker Grill from a 1946 Ford. I owned a couple of them. Thanks for sharing all this. Makes me happy and glad. Someone would save all this. Thanks for sharing! 💯💕👊👍
I'm sure it'll all find a new home other than the scrapyard! It's all good stuff, not much junk
What to sell...definitely a Sophie's Choice situation
I wonder how many 30s and 40s Fords are still left that are candidates for restoration. One would think that by now most have been found and restored or scrapped.
Funny how that gap is closing throughout the years. So many classics are totally restored or just parts cars. Not much in between
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍🇺🇸. Very cool stuff ! Am a GM guy and if any one collected GM stuff ! I hope most of that stuff fines a home . Video is out of this world ! Very interesting & informative. 👀😎👍
Good to hear from ya Mr. B! It was quite the trip. Got an NOS front fender for my 59 convertible. That blew my mind.
@@ChiefClassics Mr. B. Here ! You hit the Jack pot ! I would kill for OEM fender for my 1958 Olds Super 88 ☕️☕️👀😎👍

Love the quality of your mission, saving these beautiful Pontiacs.

LOOK AT THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS THERE IS NO WEAR ON THEM!
Thing of beauty
That 2+2 is the stuff plus drop man its in there you are A damm good mechy to
Doesn’t Pontiac 400 trance have electric down supposed to be attached to the gas pedal the wire comes from the trance on the left side as far as those carburetors Alden Brock I wouldn’t have one of those on mine. Had one on my goat, kept messing up for me a good carburetor, put it on it have no problem now run a second better than dead before but that’s just me doing a good job.
fantastic rebuild she is a beauty you are a very talented bloke love the video you know your onions enjoyed it alot great workmanship perfect job
Dude on that first engine you tried to start just because it turned over you have to make sure all the valve train is working I saw that one not moving started over cranking that poor starter I cringing about but you if that stuck valve isn’t moving all did was bend the push rod and probably wore down the lobe on that cam😮

This truck has its own strange beauty if you are into automotive aesthetics.
As others have said the filter you found behind the distributer is a beather for the slim jim. There should be a bracket that it bolts to the back of the head and on the top it would have had a curved piece of hose that just vents to air.
Great job man have a great day❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great job man for the 🎉🎉😂
Is there a good girl that you need to set up a boat tank wizard electric will the electric fuel pump on that thing see what it does❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is the 70 Olds gonna be for sale?
They put the wrong markings on it! It's a W30 442 clone! PEACE ✌️
This is the second time this video has been offered to me by TH-cam. And you sir should just step away from the cars. You mess up more than you fix. You don't know what you're doing. And you crank over engines entirely way too much. Don't really want to rain on your parade. I can't find why anybody would like these outside your family and your little internet click. And believe me I wouldn't trust anything that morski has and be very weary of anything he has half-assed and overpriced. But with that being said I got to get this off my TV because I can't take the cranking with dead batteries not accomplishing anything except for tearing up an engine and burning up starters
Please contact me as soon as possible⏳
I would like to buy some cars from you
whats that blue convertable with double fins?
Awesome car, ty for sharing. Would have nice to see Mark's face when he sees it.
👍👍
As a BOP guy, this is a score!! Just came across your channel, now a Sub,, keep it up!
I had a 73 Grand Am. Loved that car. Kept it for 19 years. Bright yellow Big Bird, matching vinyl roof, cream interior, 2-door coupe, 400, ac, pw. Bought it used about 2 years old, paid $2800. Got more compliments about it than any other car I have ever owned. After all those Chicago winters it was just too rusted out to keep. No place to store it for a future restoration which I would have considered. Driver's floor totally gone, watching the road go by underneath.The gas tank was so rusted I couldn't fill it over half without it leaking and no replacements available. Sold it cheap to a kid who abandoned it. Probably ended up in the crusher.
Getting a title is way too easy, and in Kentucky it didn't cost me a dime.
Totally dig the old Poncho stuff, and this 2 door is like dream drive as is/ build material, BE SAFE, im a new sub 1st time viewer, best of wishes & luck sir!
Just discovered your channel! Great stuff! You’ve got a new sub! 😊
Where did u learn how to start a car i guess u like burning up starters take a course on starting a car
As a young driver I bought our family car from my dad for 50.00. A 64 Catalina Ventura. The interiors in Pontiacs were truly beautiful, especially the dashes, and the chrome machined gear selector. Thanks for sharing your passion with us.
I had a 66 Pontiac Grand Prix. Back in 1982.KG from Prescott AZ. Miss my ole GP. Best car I ever owned.
It's much much easier to put the engine and transmission into the car if you jack up the rear of the car. Baffles me why people jack up the front of the car.
Is there a 20 min condensed version?
I am in love with all those big girls you have there ! 😍 definitely would love to have any one of them!
Hey,really like you're video's and show. Can I ask you a question? Why aren't you using a tripod for your camera, would be so much better video's and you would have both hands. Just wondering.
The seat cover is made to allow air to travel around your body and if you not want it keep me in mind I like to have it
Oil pressure line bad inside your cab
Very nice collection of the classics , especially when it comes to the 50s 60s & 70s. 😮😊
