Nick is a generous person to provide his knowledge and expertise in the automotive world , never gives up until he works it all out, I am fortunate to be able to be in his entourage and see his shop regularly.
Nick gets things done properly, the narrator is just brilliant and makes the show if you ask me.Fancy having a motor where you have to leave the room to run it at full chat.
That super bee gave me goosebumps. Can't wait to see that test drive. Glad to see the little Volvo up and going. Hope to see some video of the 340 duster at the track.
I wrench blue collar. Sorry, the Super Bee had left the shop on a rainy day and had no chance to video it for TH-cam. The 340 Duster is on a past video on our channel.
Nick you are a real great man to help out the young man with his grandparents Volvo when no one else would! My hat is off to you and you have my greatest respect
will b. Thank you Will.
Truly a labor of love with that old Volvo. Nick, you’re a helluva man for going with your gut and giving that pup a shot. To me, it’s what separates a guy who works on cars from a Mechanic, if you get my point.
I'm happy for that guy i know how it feels to drive a grandparent owned vehicle. The first official drive when it runs smoothly is incredible. Good Job Nick and everyone who worked on it.
I think it is Grand that you got that Volvo 164 repaired in all those different areas, and was able to keep it for your customer, even though it was a little out of your normal area of expertise.
Good to see that 164 back up and running. I hope you're going to be the one maintaining it for the rest of its life. :)
Great to see the Volvo finished and back on the road Nick, they're very rare beasts now and it's awesome that you have taken the time and effort to put this one back on the road.
That Hemi Roars! It's sucking all the air out of the room. Thats the best engine yet on Nick's Dyno! Scary and loud both. No Chevy or Ford engine could ever touch this engine. It's a monster in sheep's clothing! SHAWN
As cool as it is to see all the classic American muscle you guys have moved through the shop, THIS Volvo really gets a huge thank you. Unfortunately those old Swedish beasts don't get much love here in North America but if there's a story behind one... they can be just and classic and emotionally connected. We are just about to start this same process on a 1964 Volvo 122S B18 that my father stored over 20 years ago! Not something we can just call the parts store for or overnight some parts for Jegs!
Keep these videos coming guys, great to see an honest real shop turning out dreams like these!
Nick is one of the best mechanics I've ever seen, and I know a lot of very good mechanics. Guys like Nick are in a class by themselves, arrive early, stay late, always giving it 110% and still always learning something new. Guys like Nick are the best to learn the trade from, because they are usually generous with their knowledge. I love this channel!!!
Great video. The ending caught me ! The reaction of the owner of the volvo. It's incredible says the owner. It's incredible indeed. To have people turn you down to fix your car, to have support of the people on youtube and to be failing on and on. To have nobody have faith in what you wish to carry on and protect what is memories to you. Incredible that Nick not knowing what he was getting himself into finally did its way to succeed. Very nice touch at the end with Volvo owner driving the night away.
Thanks 514! We’re glad that we reached you.
Nice to see the old Volvo purring again. Nick is the man. That 6 pack 'Bee is absolutely from heaven. Gorgeous!! Great vid!
One thing you all need to know about Nick he’s an amazing guy, never lets anyone down, he’s passionate and sincere always there to help people with their cars.. great video!! To all the staff at Nicks garage keep up the good work!!
Cheers!
Thanks, Val!
I'm pretty new to the channel. I love watching Nick work. He is genuinely passionate, and doesn't act like some of these yelling and screaming hacks. So many of these TH-cam mechanic shows are so much more interesting than the shows on Motor Trend. No drama, and you can actually learn things here.
Thanks for joining us. We’re glad you like what you’re seeing. 👍
It’s called money......
Congratulations Nick on getting the Volvo running like a chronometer! So happy to see you drive that Volvo back to the shop under its own power. Really think you do great things for people, it amazes me that others wouldn’t help out. Classy of you to keep his grandparents ride alive, that is special. Great job getting the Hemi where it deserved to be.
Michael F. Thank you very much. I try my best for everyone.
These dyno videos are fun to watch and that red Super Bee looks nice even though I wasn't a fan the bee wing split grille I grew to appreciate those cars.
At 1:59... I was waiting to hear that answer. "Cheapy Pushrods" !!! You are like a great detective Nick... Solving the mysteries of the engine ! What a fantastic channel. So many BEAUTIFUL 1970's Mopar classics you have to show off. It was great to hear the sound of your brothers Duster 340 as you drove it down the street. The sounds of 70's Mopar all the way. I simply love this channel. ...fantastic.
What a Great Video. Cool MOPARS and he got the guys Grandparents Volvo up and running. How Cool is that.
Great to see that Volvo up and running properly. Great work guys
Is that the last we'll see of Nick and the Volvo? Such a great channel. What a great garage.
Good to see the old Volvo running properly now, body needs little attn but is not too bad, nice original red leather interior, they are well made old car built like a tank ( solid ).
Nice Ford Mustang i seen going in the shop. Yes Nick is a great guy, looks after his customers and their cars, like they were his own.
Nick is a treasure to all of us. I remember and miss my 396 375 early 400 Turbo with shift kit and posi trac. She was in an Impala body but was a heck of a sleeper and jumped a many of Formula Firebird in her day. Can't beat a large block. Love you Nick keep up the good work and kindness to your workers and customers we notice it.
Good to see you stuck at it with the volvo good job Nick. Well done. 👍👍👏
I really enjoy your video's Nick. The Hemi dyno session, was great. Finding that 550HP.
my old duster never sounded that good, wow, that thing is insane. . and nice work on that hemi build nick, i am a purest at heart and naturally aspirated is my obsession, well done! please update any info on that build when it finds its home
SO AWESOME, NICK ! OUR FAMILY'S MOPAR'GICIAN PASSED WAY A FEW YEARS BACK- HARD SHOES TO FILL
love the volvo's time honored patina. great work on the tune-up. I'd drive it everyday.
Nick you are a kind man! And have a awsome crew Its like the 72 new yorker the elderly couple gave me i love this car! Ive never been able to afford a road runner or challanger but they said they know ill take care of it keep their family car alive!! I finally got me a 440 mopar!! Lol i love it !! I would love to one day have you rebuild the engine in it for me that would make my dream complete! From martinsville va with much respect!
Great to see that 164 still out on the road! Currently an owner of a 72 144s
144 great man :) Got the P1800S ´69 in resto, B20 engine, carb. I definitely want a 142 or 144 afterwards too, but first things first. :)
Nick is a real person not some ass on cable yelling and screaming at his staff, Nick compliments his, and he's got a lot of patience, cause that Volvo had to be a pity deal, cause all the hrs on that thing, if Nick charged him rite, the guy would've junked it, like I would have, that super bee is unreal, wanna see that go
Pontiac GrandPrix73. Honestly, I only charged him 1/3 of the time I had spent on it. Do not forget, it was also a learning issue on this car. Gladly it is done.
Sometimes the true repayment is the joy of making the car run like it is supposed to. Good on you Nick.
Nick Panaritis That's y I complimented you, without even inquiring, I took that for granted, because of your good nature and I know there's nothing mechanical that will beat you, and like you said, you learned from it, and that's another great part of your disposition, you learn something every day, that's y your so successful, in what you do
HOORAY VOLVO! More slow cars please. I want to see him apply his hotrod sense backwards to maximize efficiency and 2wd traction like squareback and Corvair wagon. I have a 1982 w150 /6 92hp "POWER RAM" 4WD, but 2wd traction would be simpler and more efficient. How light an engine can we easily put in a B200 longtail for traction?
@@nickpanaritis4122 You are a class act!!
I had no doubt Nick would get both of these sorted out. Seeing peoples reaction always pays dividends in the end.
Wicked video! So awesome watching Nick do his thing! Man is so good at his trade!
Got the Hemi sorted out, great. The Volvo, I was surprised about, cuz when I seen it, yeah I was right a Volvo. Glad the test drive went well, and all were happy. It's nice to accomplish a job like that Nike, makes you and your clients feel good. Take care.
Love these videos. Much better than normal car repair or restoration TV shows. Keep up the good work, Nick !
Thanks!
Nick, you're a great man to be instrumental in keeping the Grandparent's Volvo safely on the road. Reminding the driver, passengers & Great-Grandchildren of their proud lineage. Well Done!
Great place to spend a Friday night wish i was there. Love the show Nick!
Good show ! Enjoyed every minute. Nick solved the Hemi 550hp + more amazing, he got the Volvo running like a top.
I Love that Fargo, it's so clean. I have a '68 with a 225 slant paired with an auto, and the shifter is in the dash. Mine looks the same, except it would need alot of love to look like the one at nicks garage ahaha, but I'm not going that route. And mine has a black roof not white. Lol
love your work Nick you have a crew of great craftsmen
Nick, I love your videos. You are one hard working S.O.B.!! I hope you have many things you desire because you sure as hell deserve them!! The quality staff,the quality craftsmanship and the dedication to perfection are all rare things these days!! At least here in the states anyway. I wish you all the best. Can't wait for the next one.
Every video is better than the last one. You did that guy a solid on the Volvo. Keep up the good work.
Your a good man fixing that 164 making it a great daily.
I guess the dual quad setup on these engines were more for show than go? I think those kids have the right idea wearing ear muffs. Great video Nick! 😀
Hey Nick greetings from Brisbane Australia. Good to see you got that Hemi sorted. As for the Volvo wow. One of my uncles had a 144 then a 264 Volvo. He always had issues with getting them tuned. Was apparently something to do with the low Octane fuel in Australia compared to what the Volvo was designed to run on in Sweden.
Love your vids.
Nice touch with the engine and dyno screen in the same shot.
Great vid, so nice to see the Volvo finally finished and running like a top.
Nice work on the tuning, this is why dyno testing is worth the money.
I was sad to see the Volvo go but its a great story and hopefully we all will be updated on it as time goes on. Pretty cool old car.
Awesome video again, thank you Nick's Garage ♥♥
It's really good to see that Volvo back on the road. You're a good man Nick.
i had 1974 164 e.had that thing ah goin 125 mph down hill on the masss pike.brought back some fine memories thx like the channel
👍 the freakin’ Volvo 😳👀HA!
Mr Nick says, “FINALLY it’s done”
Lol! He seems happy it’s finished!!
-now get this 164 outta here! 😂😂
Another good vid by Mr Nick & Crew👍
-on another note; I received notice that my awesome looking ‘NICK’S GARAGE HOODIE was shipped today!
SWEET😎
Thx guys✌️
Thanks Major!
It's Good to see you Driving the Car's afterward's...!
Got to love Nick's Garage!!
Glad to see you finally got the Volvo fixed. So it was a dirt problem after all. I would have sealed the tank from the inside to make sure any rust or dirt would never cause headaches like this down the road. Does the term wedding ring describe this car? You know the type of car that after you touch her one time you a married for life ;-)
Great testing and research, Nick needs to do the same thing I had to do years ago get a bigger Monitor and turn the zoom up to about 150 to 200% I can sit back now and see it almost across the shop. You can get one a Walmart for 125 bucks for a pretty good one.
I've been waiting for this Volvo moment. Awesome, Nick.
A Hemi and a Volvo walk into a bar...lol
But why not?
It's basically a "repair shop"
All makes and models are welcome...at least they WHERE back in the day.
I remember when I got my Jag XKE 12 cyl.
My mentor Pete did not tease me to much...
He actually wanted to understand the car.
WHEN it ran....
I let him take a few laps at Watkins Glen race track.
When that car was allowed to wind up in the upper rpm range and you drove the car with shifter/clutch and brakes it was a different animal.
After that?
He brought Jaguar manuals.
"Jags where fed and watered HERE"
Was added to the signs out over the door.
The way of the muscle car will never die.
Tommy
I reckon the HT leads were a big problem with that 426 Hemi not pulling right, they can make all the difference.
Glad you got the Volvo straightened out, maybe now you will have time to start on your Mustang
Phatboy Racing. Sorry to say, but a Mustang enthusiasts bought the car and plans to restore it as a retirement project.
I have the exact same car. Color year everything! Thanks for taking a chance on it.
Nice!
So glad to see the old Volvo drive away, instead of being thrown away like many cars are after a certain age. My Australian Falcon V8 is 20 years old and I'll never part with it, if it needs work it gets it. Same as a pet, they are for keeps not getting rid of if there is a problem.
Davidski. I am with you mate.
I've had a couple of older rwd Volvo four bangers and they will still be on the road when those newly restored classics give up the ghost. I miss my '70 383 Charger but I wouldn't plan on putting 300k miles on it before needing rings and valves.
Finally get to open up the dual carburetors on the Volvo add get 50 plus horsepower with pushrods and ignition wires I wish I could gain that with my 5.7 hemi great work !!
got the HEMI figured out wraped it up and loaded it on to the customer's truck, wtf more can he do . love Nicks video's. he is the master
hemi is great engine but my true love is the 340 big bore short stroke love them
Some of the cars I see in these videos I have raced against at Napierville Dragway. Cool!
Glad to see you got the Volvo right Nick, great job.
Thanks!
Glad to see the Volvo is running
Great video, Kinda sad to see the old Volvo go.
Love This Episode Nick 😀😊👍🏼 Nicks Garage Were Dreams And Horsepower Come True 😊😊 Best Automotive Channel Ever Keep Up The Awesome Work Nick n Vasili
As usual... Great boss... Great work... Happy customers... Happy fans... Well done boss 👍
Another great video! Thanks Nick!!
Never personally a MoPar fan....but Nick truly 'Walks On The Water!"
Most impressive. A standard push rod engine reving past 6 grand. That's confidence.
I don't understand. The hemi would shift up at 7200rpm. That's how they came.
nice to see the Volvo running , it should only get better after some more driving , be nice to see a fresh coat of paint on it
you should try a IR Hemi intake, a Bathtub Hemi intake, 2x4 and the single 4 all against eachother…..also note 3 things that make Dyno runs unrealistic...the exhaust is free-er flowing than anything you would find on a production car 2) the water temp/consistency is lower than most radiators could supply 3) there is no inertia at play, so oil doesn't slop to the back of the pan and the carbs also don't suffer in the fuel bowl much like the oil pan.
I remember when I was a kid, my friends mom and dad bought a brand new 164E. They drove it home from the dealer and as they pull up in their driveway there was a trail of fresh gas. We opened the hood and could see all the fuel injectors were peeing fuel all over the place. Once we tightened all the fuel injectors, it quit leaking. Also I remember the big deal about this car was the computer under the drivers seat, or at least that is where we believed it was, and that this computer could calculate and control functions on this car 6 or was it 60 times per second.. Or something like that. It was a selling point I am sure. It was a burgundy red. I forget the year of this car... 1974? something like that.. Anything computer in that day was a big deal.
Nice, I had a white 1972 164E, Volvo made them from late '71 to '75. The computer was actually in the kick panel in the right hand side footwell (drivers side on RHD models), and yeah EFI was a huge thing back in the day when only Volvo, BMW and Mercedes were using the technology.
@@Tiger351 They had a computer? I always thought the fuel injection was a mechanical Bosch unit.
@@castirondude Yep they had a (basic) computer mounted in the right hand side kick panel (passenger side on LHD cars, drivers side on RHD cars). It only really did fuel metering though as all injector fired at the same time governed by 2 additional contacts located underneath the main ignition contacts in the distributor body. The system was by Bosch and called Q-jet from memory, BMW also used pretty much the same system at that time.
@@Tiger351 Interesting. My uncle had one, 1978-80 vintage, always started at a touch of the key. I heard Bosch bought the patents from GM. GM toyed with the idea for a while and decided to just stick with regular carburetors. It's a shame , even then fuel injection was superior for driveability.
@@castirondude I can't remember the exact details but I think it was on some of the Chevy Vegas for a few years before GM ditched the idea. If I remember correctly Rochester started developing it in collaboration with Bosch as a replacement for the mechanical injection that was on 50's-60's Chevy's.
the stunt here is that the old volvo is running and ready to be delivred.
these cars are fantastic but they need special attention when working on.
I'm a lover for the old RWD Volvo for more than 40 years and my interest point on this video is specifically to what id done on this volvo.
the pushrod issue was a stumper for a while, but we both guessed it!
Awesome show once again Nick, thanks!
The ending was really cool. I love this channel
Nick & the boyz MOPAR wizards!
My family had a Volvo just like that one in the 80's, they put it in some old guys barn for storage and we moved away. When we came back the barn was gone and the land was being turned into a sub division. Oops.
couldnt help but notice in the dyno control room next to the throttle was Nicks chocolate milk, you are as bad as me Nick, cant survive more than 2 hours without chocolate milk, lol. Love all the hemi content as usual, even though my toy is an AC Cobra, but the future hot rod will be getting a hemi.
Damn that poor Dart looks like it was driven hard and put away wet the quarter panels are ready to pop with all the bondo bubbles on it Our Canadian Winters have not been good to that old Dart
79tazman. That Dart belonged to his Grandfather. He plans to have it painted soon.
**Nice to see Nick Hauling AZZ in his Brother's Duster!**
Nick: the Sherlock Holmes of go fast goodies! who better than to have in your corner, or i should say, under your hood!Do you think a bigger shop may help? thanks again guys. ☆☆☆
Hey Narrator..once again your editing and music collage is fantastic..and those cars...wow...great video..if Nick was superman i think he would work 24/7....
iamrichrocker. I wish I was Superman. I would have picked up super speed and finish all the cars in my shop, not only that, and the ones that are on their way in.
@@nickpanaritis4122 If you were Superman, would the Volvo be kryptonite? 😉
Done right,done at Nicks
Thanks Rick.
Boy,Canadians have lots of extra cash to spend! Beautiful hot Rods!
I LOVE the Muscle cars V8
Nice job Mr.Nick.
Congratulations from Córdoba (Spain)
awesome that the volvo is back on the road again, we from Europe love our old volvo's, just as we do with old american muscle cars. Greetings from Europe The Netherlands :)
Nice bug eyed D100 Fargo Truck A friend of mines uncle had a old bug eyed Fargo DumpTruck I forget the year but I alway's loved the look of those Trucks I guess that's why I am so in love with the old 64 to 70 A 100 trucks in vans they have a cool look better then Ford or Chevy had in those years
Oh no! Strombergs! Had a 68 142S. Had the OE Volvo aluminum dual SU carbs and intake.
Windsor Ontario is my neck of the woods damn must of took him a good 9 or more hours to get there from Windsor
Great work Nick!
As a volvo man, i find it amusing that he is surprised it works "on its own" and wondering if it will bring him back. 😄
I like that little 164.
