My son and I really appreciate the opportunity to learn so much about automotive design over the years, the methodical approach to getting things running and road worthy, and both the patience and perseverance you have, from one minute and problem to the next. Thanks for what you do!
Always loved those Bel Airs. Glad you rescued it. The "Smell Air" might be appropriate for a name. I can smell and hear that crispy "Seat cover" from 500 miles away!
I had a 59 bel air back in the 80's that I bought for a dollar, got it running and cleaned it up and due to a need for christmas money and a huge lack of foresight...sold it for $150.Been kicking myself ever since. 😫🦶
Found myself glued to your video and had to watch all of it. It took some effort to get that 59 going again. But was rooting for you all the way. I love those old cars, turned 16 in 1960, had lots of experience working on them.
I love it. I do not car that it is covered in moss, I do not care that it has been sitting in a backyard for so many years, bel airs are my favorite type of car. I guess it's just the over the top fins on the back.
Just in case you are wondering GET HIM A BATTERY SPONSOR HE DESERVES ONE !!! You won't be disappointed by the publicity he will give you. Show some love battery people!
My grandmother had the wagon version of this car. That interior brings back memories! It was the same color. I was really young but I loved that car, sliding around on the rear part with the seat folded down. That's plenty safe, right?
That hook on the dash was the panty holder! And the fact that you warned us that you'd burn yourself, and then still did it! AND THEN kept it in the video..... Classic! And truth be told, fuel sloshing has it's issues.
Another sweet save Mortske n Duff 👍. . My older brother had a 59 coupe with the super turbo 283 and 4 barrel. He loved that car, used it as his wedding chariot for him and his bride. Sure brought back some memories. Your talents are 2nd to none getting the old girl going after 45 years.
Mortske. Great video! What a treat when she started and there was hardly any noise. Especially for as long as it sat. I learned to drive on a "3 on the tree." Those are good, lotsa buddies riding around cars. Sammiches in the trunk, of course. Hey to duff.
Thanks for posting, love Duff !!. Over here in England all the interesting old scrapyards where such old cars existed have long gone - now they're called recycling centres, no old bangers like this to be had anymore. Very sad. Many years ago when I was young our Saturdays were spent in old scrapyards salvaging bits and pieces to keep our old cars running - though our cars weren't as big as this Chevvy. It was VW Beetles, Morris 1000's,, Vauxhalls (GM), British Leyland Minis, tatty old Jags & Daimlers (my car !!), Rovers and Fords for us !!! Happy days. Modern British cars are crap.
Super solid for sitting in a field for 45+ years. Those old stove bolt sixes are really good smooth running engines, due to the heavy crankshaft. That six weighs as much as the 348. The 235.5 is rated at 140hp. Does the vin start with C or D? I'v owned my 59 Bel Air for 43 years now.... it's my first car. It's a 348, 3 on the tree. Yes I watch Ryan's videos all the time, as I am as big of a 59 Chevy nut as he is! Glad you saved that Bel Air.... how could I not like your video, it was great.
@@MortskeRepair It's all stock and I drive it like a old lady going to church. I never get into the secondaries, as theses cars were meant to have a six, with their huge steering gear ratio, and that boat like ride. Here is my latest video with the Bel Air..... th-cam.com/video/5d0xNXrRpwI/w-d-xo.html
Make sure you check the inside door panels for dead leaves and critters. And check the back seat area after removing the seats. Sometimes there's an old vintage coin or silver dime-quarter that was misplaced. Might fetch anywhere from $5 - $50 dollars.
That reminds me. Back in 1985ish I found old, what I figured was brass Zippo under the backseat of an old Chrysler that my dad gave me. I replaced the wick and wadding and carried it for several months. Until I gave someone a light with it and they asked me "damn son why are you carrying around and using this lighter?" Turned out that it was 14k gold!! I'm 53 now and I still have that Zippo. I've been down and out a few times over the years and came close to selling it. Couldn't bring myself to let it go. And it's worth a shiny penny that's for sure. So yes!!! Always search through ANY old car you come across. There could easily be treasure.
Moon tank looks fresh! Ironically the pick up that was flipped shortly after that clip ( the white with blue racing stripes in the high speed chase) was stolen from my home town !
Best fins of the fifties! I like the three on the tree six cylinder combo. Must have had a hood change out as six cylinder cars never had the v emblem, maybe when it got its whiskey dent on the right fender!
Drove a '67 Dodge D100 in high school with slant 6 and three on a tree. If you were too vigorous putting it into second, the shifter rod would go past its stop and you were stuck there. Pull off, shut it down, climb out, pop the hood, push the rod back down, all good! Thanks for jogging the good memories. :-)
Love the lost trailer tire , and you got it on video lmho . Between you and Vise grip garage , l need a sponcer for depends , cause i piss my pants Watching you guys lmfho keep up the good work (:
Gotta love those old cars brings back memories I remember as a child playing on the backseat felt like it was as big as a playground and I guess it kinda was lol haven’t had those memories pop up in a long time of me and my sister thx buddy for helping me remember the good times when things were so much easier and seemed to be slower I long for those old days 😌
Classic lines on this one. I was born in '59 and I remember the body style well. I don't remember when the fins were retired. When I was in high school my good friend's first car was a '64 Bel Air w/ 3 on the tree. Fins were gone by this time. This thing was long and it literally floated. We thought it had a body that was rusting and paint that was duller than my big toe. Heh, heh...it was really much sought after vintage patina I now know. It smoked like The Friars Club after dinner. We went to Pensacola in the summer in it and we sweated like pigs touring the Hormel plant. Good Bel Air memories cause it made cold beer taste all the better.

It maybe Grandma's grocery getter, also got her to church and to bingo and bowling but it's still something you don't see often, let alone one with a 235 6 cylinder in it, sadly most people rip'em out and put a 350 or something like that in there, 6 cylinders aren't junk, as they say...6 in a row ready to tow, 6 cylinders always have the upper hand on low end torque, you should keep this and restore it Mortske 4 doors and station wagons need love too
That Stovebolt 6 235 motor is a hell of an engine, those motors last forever good motor sounds really good amazing after 45 years, it started like it's a daily driver. 👍🏼
Wow, does this bring back memories! My first car was a '59 Bel Air... my grandparents' old car which was given to me on my 16th birthday. The car was 1 year younger than me! Main difference between mine and yours (besides the color... mine was blue) was that mine had the Powerglide and a whole lot more rust. Living on the Gulf Coast will do that... The 235 C.I. "Blue Flame" 6 was very easy to work on-- just climb into the engine bay! These seem like they would be a tank built from Detroit steel... for an eye-opener watch this comparison: th-cam.com/video/fPF4fBGNK0U/w-d-xo.html
I was 14 and mom purchased a set of those Keystone Classics put them on the 68 Chevelle, it ended up being my first car and i put the 10 inch rally wheels on her, great show Bro
Once the linkages get worn on a 3 in the tree when shifting from first to second they have a tendency to not shift out of first and then you have to stop and manually manipulate the linkage at the bottom of the steering column.
I love the sound of a sixer with 3 on the tree. And I LOVE that beautiful smell of the exhaust. Lol I even love the old car smell better than any new car smell. Gas fumes, Winston cigs, and mold. 😁 Nothing else like it. Smells like America. 🦅
Lower tire pressure and the 59 Chevy is the same width as railroad tracks , My 59 rode a lot of miles on a railroad spur going into a military base . Don't have to steer but you do need to watch for trains but then it was a lightly used track . Spooked people at night at road crossings . Great video .
Ours was what we think was a field car. Used for chasing cattle in her later years until a quarter sized hole appeared in the #7 piston. Around 1972. Floor boards in back were flush with the floor.
I love the 3 on a tree we had it in an 81 Chevy Half ton with the 251 inline 6. My wife hated it so if I get a classic and don't want her to drive it I need a 3 on the tree lol
I realize it's very petty, but I do get a chuckle when you get shocked burned or scraped by the process. Still, like seeing you bring back these old dogs to life. Thanks.
Hey mortske! That was fun watching too. That’s a great old car. Call her Louise! Just looks like one buddy! Anyway. I’m glad you’re having fun. Me I’m under a Ford Mustang dashboard. Got my new used gauge cluster this morning so I’m gonna get that back in there today. Having fun! Lol
Grandma's grocery getter don't like doing circles, thought you was going to walk back to shop for a few minutes there LOL
Woulda been a boring video watching me and Duff walk back tot he shop!
I had a '55 with a 235 stovebolt. It would sit all winter and start right up the next spring.

Engine sounds great
Idled smooth right from first fire up
No stuck valves or rings
A tribute to the oldies
Its a rare event to get one on the road that has been sitting this long, with little drama. Just so you all know! Ps. Love the seat cover.
A nice challange to acceped isnt it
If I was rich I'd get me a seat cover like that.
You made me remember how many times i bet the shop on one build...good times.
I had one just like this but in black, wonderful cars! If I weren't on the other side of the country I'd take it in a second.

59 was one of my favorite years of the Bel Air.
My favorite Bel Air was the 1973.
i had a60 chevy oil burner smoke like crazy the 61 ones had bad steal rusted away 62 was a little better one i like best and 64
I love the randomness of your movie shots. That’s pretty neat!
Been doing that my whole life to confused looks....kindred spirits my friend.

I realize it's very petty, but I do get a chuckle when you get shocked burned or scraped by the process. Still, like seeing you bring back these old dogs to life. Thanks.
Glad you enjoy that!
Mortske I'm anxious to see you get that Belair running
Hey mortske! That was fun watching too. That’s a great old car. Call her Louise! Just looks like one buddy! Anyway. I’m glad you’re having fun. Me I’m under a Ford Mustang dashboard. Got my new used gauge cluster this morning so I’m gonna get that back in there today. Having fun! Lol
