- hey guys this is a revival of the family car i grew up with bringing it back to life instead of withering away in the desert
You're a good mo'fo, Chris. Family is everything, especially when there isn't many of you left.
Love the backstory of this car. Didn’t know anything about your dad, but I appreciate your channel even more because of it! My first car was a ‘67 Chevy Impala 4 door with. 283 and a power glide! After I blew up the transmission doing burnouts I put in a turbo 350 I got out of my moms ‘69 Impala that her 350 broke in. I bought that car for 70 bucks and had to pawn my Star Wars action figures at a pawn shop and sold my 38 special co2 pellet pistol to come up with a whopping $50! I had to borrow 20 from my dad to buy the car! That was in 1982 when I was on 7th grade! Oh the memories.🥹🥹🤗
Please make sure you install a SERIOUS "theft prevention system" so that you do not receive a dreaded call that the car was stolen form some parking lot in the city...Beautiful machine.
Chris, Keep everything the same just like your dad had it That car is a big part of your life, I think you are doing a wonderful thing by getting ot back on the road and keeping the memories alive.
Instead of a 4l60, i would build up a 700R4. Basically the same trans with 1 major difference. The 4L60 requires a computer, the 700R4 does not.
Like you, my dad was responsible for my love of cars. It does my heart good to see that you have your dads old car and are taking steps to actually enjoy the car again.
My favorite year Malibu . She's a gem ! Factory AC too love it . I have a straight 6 convertible ,been in the family since mid 80's . Great ,all the Best !
I grew up with a car almost the same as that. 67 Malibu. Blue with a black vinyl top. Started with the same drive line as yours. Ended up with a 4 bolt main sbc 350 and turbo 350 trans. Funny part was I live in New England and the car was originally purchased as a winter car for my Mom when she drove a then new silver anniversary 78 Vette. Great memories for sure. Great to see you keeping a family car in the family. Cheers
Rest In Peace...to your pops.
You are one hell of a good brother and would be proud to shake your hand for what you are doing! God bless you and your family. New dog 🐕 good for you and I didn't catch the name with my old deaf ears.
Bolt...;D
Can't believe the condition of the interior and how rustfree this Chevy is. Makes me proud being mainly a GM guy. A friend of mine had a very similar one. It was a fun car!
Thanks for sharing your fathers car and story. You rock dude.
Oh yeah Minty ! That Chevelle is pretty nice. The boating thing looks like a lot of fun
Hi Chris , This is my very favorite dream car / in the turquoise color with the 5 spoke craigers . Your Sister is going to be very pleased with You !
So awesome. I still have my dad’s old 72 C10 that has a similar story. My brother and I both drove it in HS, and it’s about to go back to him for his kids. Great story Chris!
If you are wanting to put an overdrive transmission in the Chevelle,even though the 4L60E is free, it needs to have a computer for it to function and while it won’t be free, I would recommend installing a 700R4 in it as a it doesn’t require a computer and is plenty strong.
When I moved to Vegas in 85 my mother inlaw had 2 67 Malibus she bought new in Denver. One Green like yours and one Blue. They sat outside over by Liberaces old house. One had 9k the other 12k. I got both after she passed. The interiors were dust but they ran like a 283 should. Put a 4bbl and a small cam in one and with 276s it would run @ 90 mph all day. Fun cars. Still have my 67 wagon original 4 speed A/C 327 and the trailer tow package. And of course my Mopars.
Brilliant Chris, love your skill & passion & its fantastic your looking out for your dear Sister & keeping the car in the family, so looking forward to seeing The Revival running best wishes🙂✌👍
Hi Chris ive watched all your videos and love the stuff you do. It must have been tuff to talk about all the private history about your Dad. I remember you picking the old race car up and that was heart felt. Im sure he was as proud of you as you was of your Dad. You are a very talented and knowledgeable fella and i wish you well. Keep the videos coming. All the best Danny UK.👍
Great car, great story that will have a great outcome. I’m sure you’re sister will be super happy. You’re a good brother.
sweet to remember the good times you’re a good person and brother whatever you do to the car will be great may everything good in life come your way
I applaud you for how your going to do it, a mostly original car is more of a good historical piece for people who only get to see pictures of the original ones and the disc brakes and the transmission upgrade would be good but leave the rest of it as you said original car and realistic. Not a hoopy thing that looks like nothing but a restomod.
Except that it has a black vinyl interior rather than the green cloth, that’s my dream car. I’m glad you’re sharing it with us, Chris! Thank you!
I love this project. I learned to drive in a 67 Pontiac sedan 283, 2spd so I can totally relate to the thrilling driving experience of that power train. 99mph top speed (maybe)....ask me how I know. What I can't relate to is the lack of rust. In the north east that car would be a rust red stain in the dirt. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Your dad burned the candle at both ends but he seems to have done a good job raising you. Cheers to his memory.
Glad you made the time to get the family car back out of the dirt and back on the road.
Good of you to fix all the mechanical issues with the car before letting your sister take it. And yes if it has to shine like a new penny she can have that done.
I am amazed how young you are. I have a similar picture with me and our 63 Belair taken in 1966! I drive this car to this day and I would not sell it ever!
Love your videos hit a soft spot in my heart I just lost my dad to cancer and I have old Jeep Cherokee that we fixed together and I am still morning his lost and I really need to get to work that Jeep
Pretty cool to have your Dad's old car, I restored a truck that my Dad bought new and taught me how to drive in. Gotta like the use of Gimme Some Lovin' in the background while running Patina around the track. That was always the song to get me fired up when I ran a circle track car. And that boat race looks like a riot.
Dear Chris, I think your Dads car is so cool it deserves its own playlist. And I am a big big fan of your work slash artform. To us Chevy guys Chevelles are the more gooderest of all cars ever. I look forward to more of your project cars. Keep up the great work. And take care my friend.
Your biggest fan.
George
P.S. Who needs Roadkill
We had a Gold A/C 8 track Malibu like that in our family. I loved that car more than life itself. I always thought if I was good and studied hard they would give me the car. Nobody ever gave me anything. The few cars I owned I busted my ass for them. They were never like that Malibu. Don't let that car go again. It's too precious.
Love the 67 and how you going back the way it was. Super sweet car I want it.
My favorite year! Great that you're doing this Chris! Looking forward to seeing the build.
Glad to see you are fixing the car for your sister and keeping it alive can't wait to see it running again 👍
Awesome! You sir are a very good brother.
Keep it original Chris it was your father's car 67 Chevelle awesome car I had one
Cool " days of thunder" tie in.
Chris this is a great thing you're doing. I bought my brother in laws first car from him three years ago. It's a 66 Malibu with the 283 and 2 speed power glide but no ac. It has bucket seats and a console. Maroon with a new black vinyl top. He's a high school teacher who had two kids in college at the same time. When he stuck the for sale sign 8n the window I bought it right away. I put a new trunk pan in it the new top and paint. He's going to retire in two years and this is his retirement present from me. He has done so much for me and my family it's the least I can do. Especially since paint and body are my thing. I'm sure your sister is going to be blown away.
That Chevelle is a great simple car. Looking forward to the build.
I had L60's on the back of ours with the old Hi Jacker shocks , kids😉
Nice to see patina and sounds absolutely fantastic 😎😎
I`m a Mopar guy myself but a 1967 chevelle is a favorite of mine. My oldman had a red with black interior SS 396 car when I was a kid and I fell in love with it and since then the 67 has been one of my favs of the chevy world and got to say that thing is awesome
Your Chanel is the best. Been watching for years and many more to come god willing.
Wish there was a way I could send you a picture,in 1990,I had a SS exactly like it,drove it daily for years.man the memoirs this car just brought back.
I don’t blame you on keeping the car in the family, I had a completely unmolested “67” Malibu 283 power glide real similar yours but red w/black interior. Love to get another!
i know the feeling my dad and i built a hot rod 1946 chevy 2 door sedan way back in the mid to late 1980s he traded it off and we never saw it again well long story short thanks to facebook market I found it and bought it back it in my garage and I've been busy replacing bondo with steel
Must have massive boards of old cars and trucks out in the desert. That 4 cylinder screaming is a riot.
I'd love to see more of your racing on the channel. I am a BIG dirt track fan but I like amateur asphalt racing too.
Hey Chris,. I've been hanging onto a car I got at 15 & 35 yrs later I still got it even though it's been wrecked and slowly rebuilding it for the past 32 or so years.
Plan to keep it as a top secret upcoming channel reveal in the future as I leave Easter eggs in many of my vids & continue to tease & disguise what the car actually is.
Speaking of eggs.... here's one. It's less than four doors.
Good video. Seein Patina roarin & shreekin around bull ring was gooood. Nice change of pace video, thanks for watch.
Great video looking forward to seeing you on Motortrend with the boys
Man that’s a sweet car my brother had a blue one going to high school… great car… an overdrive transmission would be sweet.
One of my favorite cars of all time 💓
I agree with your plans for this car. It would be wrong to do too many changes/upgrades on this vehicle. The disc brake conversion and OD transmission make sense from a safety and roadworthy position. It would be great to fix all the maintenance and neglect issues. I would also repair the driver seat cover and put in a new dash pad. You could leave the paint as is for now. After the car is back together I would recommend driving it often and making new memories.
I had a 283cc Bored Out to a 293cc. A 4 Inch Stroke a 4inch Bore a ( Square Bore) with a 2 Speed Powerglide with Nitros Oxide a Cheater Kit a GTX 8 3/4 Posi Track Rear-end Axil a Hooker a Hooker V8 Vega Conversion Kit a Monza Front End Suspension with 4 inch Aluminum Billet Spacers all Braided Airplane Rated Hose , Dual Oil Filters , 6 Quart Oil Pan 17 years young about $5000 00 on that Motor, Oh a BM Shift Kit a 3500 Stall Converter! I used to Run the COP'S all over Town 1981 ..Trust me not too many Helicopters Flying over head. YAH I miss that Car, it wasn' the Fastest but it was a lottaFun! Yup should never have Sold it? The Kid who Bought Blew his Brains Out! I thought he'd Die driving the Car! His Friends Stole it from his Parents! I had Dreams about that Car for about a Decade! Chris I should never have Sold it! So that' s what a 283cc's mean to me! I would " Supe it Up " for your Sister but I understand your Sedament!Thanks for the Memory! Dean( Soul) Toronto
Wait till ya' try a 383 stroker!
🇺🇸👍 Change the automatic to the one with the overdrive so your Sister can get some kind of good MPG.
Thank you Chris for the window into your rich life. I wondered how you got your start into racing, now I know it was because of your Dad. Fixing up the Chevelle for your sister is a wonderful gesture, kinda wish I had a sibling to do that for. The boat races were a hoot! I would be inclined to replace the glide and if a Quadrajet with a cast iron manifold could be located, it would look like a factory option ! My brother in-law has a 61 Vette with the 283 four barrel and a glide. Its a dog till 40 mph but fun after !
SS Minnow.on the track is just too funny, cracked me up
You're a good Man giving that car to your Sister.
I'm so happy that you are able to get it back home where I believe that it belongs to you and your family.
As usual, finished your video with a smile on my face!
The best two days of a boat owners life is the day he buys it and the day he takes it to the boat smashers derby.
3000 is about right, I know my mom had a couple she bought and they were a lot of money back then. Considering how you could get a good house for between 3 to six times that. We got our house for 8000 still have it 4 bedroom 1.5 bath kitchen, dining room, living room, tv room full basement and attic and 2 stall garage 26×36. We built the garage in 1982 for 12g and the old man was so proud of it because it was the first one on the block that had a cement floor and a opener for the door. 8'×16' door and the original Sears opener is still working and is 3.5 hp. motor. Sounds like a blast door opening and closing. We used to change those drive trains in 90 minutes in and out and down the road.
Very cool 67 and story to go with it! I would definitely ditch the powerglide , but a 4l60 needs a stand alone harness to run it and parts can add up. I guess it just depends on your budget and your connections for parts.
The best part unlike the stuff we have in the North East rust belt the bolts come right out, too nice.
Awesome story awesome memories Chris that car is begging to live again nice work!
I was very surprised to see how great of condition that car was in, especially being a car that sat for some time out in the desert. When you had brought up how the car had a Heartbeat Of America club plate on it, that had reminded me that my dad's(was grandad's) 84 camaro also has a Heartbeat Of America plate on it.
Very nice car! Since it's be in your family for so long. Glad your not getting rid of it.
Hey Chris thank you for the video and that is something that I would do to if I had a sister to and I think your parents will be proud of you for doing what you're doing
Excellent video and dedication to keep this family heirloom where it belongs: in the family!
Looking forward to seeing its rebirth!
Just don’t go boating on the track 🤣
God Bless
😎
Awesome thanks for keeping it, and parsing it on to your sister, also keeping it mostly stock, and the upgrade of the brakes is good idea for your sister to drive, its a very nice car 😀👍🏻
keep the 283 and put a 200r behind it and maybe a fuel injection system and it is a nice cruiser
Sweet first touch with the Coker wheels
Always wanted a 66, in ky if you find one it's either rusted or they want a gazillion dollars for it. Cool to see a smallblock, non SS.
That little 283 would be perfect for a factory iron intake and a little 4GC four barrel carb. it would be perfect with a mild cam, and stock iron exhaust manafolds
Nice 67! Pretty loaded car. Even has A/C! I understand why you want to keep it, all those memories made with your family.
It is saying it's time Chris is going to refresh me with all new forged goodies and I will look stock.
I am old and now I can say that I have now seen it all.
Cool tribute, great story hats off to you
Gotta love them 67s!
That video of your Dad racing it looks and sounds like it was a fast race car. He would pull away from the other car quick. Sorry to hear he passed away thow. I know this is old video and i watched it before with my old phone and account. Wish we could live for 300 years and not look all old so we could enjoy life longer. Sucks losing family members i know because I lost alot of them😢
Havent driven a power glide in years.. I miss the days of running the old girl up around 70 for the 2nd gear shift... Great tranni for the track or a keep intown car.. Highways always sucked with the glass pack droning..🤣
Yes sir they did Butler Pa to Ft. Lauderdale FL. in 1976. Then back again to her house in 3 years.
Those sentimental projects seem to take the proper mindset to start on and tackle . Probably why so many are unfinished.
My gosh I love it!!!!
Something therapeutic about pressure washing an engine!
Upside down stealth aerodynamic boat 👍
Glad to see and hear how things go back to normal.
That’s a crazy race.
One of my favorite cars is a 67 chevelle. I had a shell once but my brother sold it while I worked. I never knew what he got for it. I hate a thief.
13:42 even though this 283 aint no power house, HA! my pops had a 61 283 impala convertible with a turboglide, he had to sell it as he was working overseas and the guy he sold it to got 5 tickets in the first month with it lol like the 283 is the motor that MADE chevy's name in the performance department, 4 barrel carb it, give it a good tune and that thing will give anything in your fleet a good run for its money.
as anything with any derivative of the 263, 283 and 327 motor in it, aint no carrucha, if it said 350 on the side that's different, that's the motor GM put in to cheap out on performance when they went mass production in 68' and then if you wanted a good car you went to olds and buick, and eventually pontiac when the firebird came into its own in the late 70's as the car that embarrased the corvette with how much better it was
hence why they sandbagged it with as many crappy non pontiac 400 motors as possible, as they always did love that fiberglass speedboat at GM at the cost of everything else.
looking forward to watching the chevelle come back to life. cool to do that project lots of memories! i have to say going with the 4L60 trans probably best to keep it on the road and driving rather than just Sunday drives with the powerglide if the intention is to drive it a lot like you do your stuff. i’m sure that’s why you are debating it.
I wish they would have stuff like that here.
Sorry I am happy for you and your new pup and I just can't quit. Hopefully I get to meet you at a event somewhere before the end of my days and get to tell you in person how good of a person and car restoration guy you are.
Nice car.......Might consider a 300hp Corvette Holley four barrel intake (cast iron), small cam. It will still look stock and add a little performance. It would be like a copy of the 66 220 hp 283 , 2004R transmission ( maybe drop the rear end gear to a 3:73/3:50), 67/68 Chevelle four piston disc brakes, (or 70's chevelle disc brakes), dual exhaust all optional on 67 Chevelles. Still maintain the stock look and have some nice improvements for not much money. Most important........ keep the stock look thing going. Hell you already have the disc brake wheels. That's half the problem solved!! lols
i had a 66 ss I traded my 61 impala ss for that was 50 years ago DANG I had some cool cars when i was a kid oh did I mention I worked in a Junk yard all threw high school well wrecking yard Chris your the man give your sister the car
That 4L60 will make it a much more enjoyable car to drive. A power glide isn’t old technology, it ancient. The 3.08 first gear will make the old 283 seem peppy.
He went through drugs, divorce and the car is still around, he made it out better than I did. I f”ed off everything and everyone I had while I was on that road. I messed off a truck of my dads, I had completely restored it. I loved it but I needed more drugs. I miss it and kick my own ass every single day for the trucks, guns, tools I f’ed off on dope. The wife, don’t miss her , once I finally got my act together 15 years ago. I upgraded in that department.
A lot of Pontiacs had four core radiators replacements Pancho's Restaurant
Miss the days of no computers and so many wires you can wire your house. Two hours taking your time for a motor swap compared to today and their endless hours of work.
Here we go again... TH-cam. Commercial interruption one minute and eight seconds into video. Thankfully Chris has the best videos on TH-cam and I won't let them ruine the experience.
Your sister will love it Chris
