51 Chevy. Three on the tree. My uncle had one. Traded it for a new 63 Chevy Impala. I learned to drive stick on my oldest cousins 54 Chevy. Summer of 1976. I was 17. Love those early 50s chevys.
Man what a beautiful old Chevy coupe straight 6, awesome interior looks really good rare to find one of these solid cars beautiful man what a wonderful car
53 Chevy, all the Hard work is Done...V8, Front Clip with Brakes, COME ON !! See what Maaco can DO !! Don't forget to get the door jams done... Would be Great Content ! 206 SEATTLE
Great video! I am a huge MINI Fan and seeing that mini cooper at 6:00 made me really sad..i hope someone (hopefully you) bring it back to life..it really is a great car!
The 54 has frenched tail lights as this one does and were originally chrome. the 53 had no actual surround around the tail lights, they just jutted out of the body. We had a 54 station wagon my Dad bought new and we kept it for almost twenty years before it crapped out.
I thought I saw that too. It's far from unusual for older cars to have hidden switches fitted to isolate the ignition or fuel pump on injected cars as the standard security equipment was pretty much non-existent so they were hugely easy to steal. Being as both vehicles clearly came from the same person then it's more than likely that they both have the same sort of security modification...
I didn't see it but when he was cranking it I new by the sound right off it had the old school security I bet if he would have seen it too it would have fired right up and purred 👍
I have a 1991 323 Hatchback. 5 Speed, 1.6L. Is being with me since 1999. A Texas car. I bought it when I was stationed in Fort Hood. I have to install the starter and get it running. Is a small tank. 206K miles!!!
Love both of the 50's Chevy's!! Randy, in the beginning of the show, you were looking at an '03 Mazda. As you stood behind the car, to the left front side was an old white station wagon looking to be from the '60's. Can you do a video of it???👍👍
Ah it’s so nice to see how far I’ve come. My first car would let any and all the rain inside. Puddles on the floors and seats soaked. It was a 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ceira... and while it drove from Colorado to Texas and drove just about anywhere it was junk... overheating, old, no title, would die sometimes for no reason. But geez did I put my heart into it and replace parts after parts... even put brand new tires on it 😂😂😂. The Mazda reminded me of it
My friend had the same Transmission warning on their 2015 Mini Cooper - turned out the gear shifter was loose and thats why the warning notification popped up advising to activate the parking brake. What a relief that was!
51 Chevy - probably flooded the carb when you initally hit the gas pedal - to clear it - open the choke (push choke control IN) & depress gas pedal all the way & crank away - DON'T PUMP IT!!
Definitely the first 1951 Chevy coup more original. Things to do. Run and drive Maaco paint Red body white roof and some white wall New excuse duel straight pipe with fish tail tips
A 3-on-the-tree!!!! Buy it Randy and don't even think about replacing that inline-6!!!! BTW, here is the shift pattern: Up R 2 The I I The Seat ---N--- Dash I I 1 3 Down R- back toward you and up (From Neutral) 1st- back toward you and down (From Neutral) 2nd- up- forward toward dash and up (From 1st) 3rd- straight down (From 2nd) Neutral is usually spring-loaded so it'll automatically push the shifter towards the 2nd/3rd position when you push it into Neutral from Reverse or 1st. There is nothing like driving a vehicle with a 3-on-the tree- long, lazy gearing that pulls for days. Buy it, Randy, you'll really love it. I've been wanting to buy a 60s or 70s F100 with a 3-on-the-tree myself. It is a really special experience driving one.
The LeSabre that's right behind the Mazda is identical to mine. It has 240k miles with no warning lights. I just made a 1000 mile round trip to Branson and back with no trouble at all. The 3.8 is almost bulletproof.
Grapefruit-size hail. We had one of those storms in '95 in Ft Worth. I bought an '88 Subaru wagon for $400 after that storm, windshield was already replaced, so much hail it looked like it was rolled. Drove that POS for four years.
Most likely the only reason it didn't run was the fuel pump was leaking fuel which is an indicator of the diaphragm inside failing. Ten to twenty minute job changing it out and it's running.
Right, the ethanol gas eats up the inside of the pumps. The '50 I had I put one on and it ran and I lot drove it even though the oil was full of water and there was a mouse nest inside the valves.
Randy your content now is awesome and better than ever yeah I would drive one of those 50 Chevy's and look proud going down the road with that just like they are keep that patina on it also I would like to show you what I did to my truck you're the 1 how I checked out in was able to find a good vehicle by watching your channel maybe Facebook keep up the good work
That Mazda could be the salvation for someone that doesnt have a car. Full gas tank to clean the fi system. Good cleaning in out engine, new radio and new wheel covers and you havea winner. It is a good contender for content, how to change a carpet, etc...also you can put in the miracle oil you used for the envoy!!
That 54' Chubby has an Oldsmobile 350 in it. From like a late 70's or early 80's Delta 88 or something of that sort. The valve covers and that tower oil fill tube gives it away.
id love the first 50 chevy because it is more original and i have plenty of patience for restos. Part of my plan for my future channel. Think i may call it old dead cars
Randy if that 03 Mazda was near me I`d buy it in a heart beat ,people here in Slidell, Louisiana drive thru water that deep every time it rains hard , and I bet the price is right ! Change all the fluids and filters, tires and carpet and your good to go !
@@mexicanspec There was a 12v battery in the second 51 chevy but the first had to be a 6v system from the speed that starter was spinning compared to the speed it was cranking on the original battery when it was cranked... A 12v battery on a 6v system can damage all the lamps,gauges,radio, and starter motor... The chevys were 6v system up to 1954... 1955 and up were 12v... The second 51 chevy WAS rewired for the V8 engine that was dropped in...Dave
@@davemcgaffney9401 it was possible that the first Chevy had a 12 VOLT BATTERY in it I have a BLACK TOP INTERSTATE BATTERY in my 1995 BUICK ROADMASTER that has a BLACK TOP & WHITE BOTTOM like that it is not too old like that one
My bad ... I just looked at the video again and the first car did have a 12v battery... But that starter must still be 6v from the speed it spinned with the jump pack...
Randy my grandfather has a 1951 the igniton has to be straight up and down for it to get spark to the right is off and to the left is lock and there is a special way to jump a 6v system not sure how
Great job on the channel randy luv the Chevys can u check the 2 black honda accords in front of the 54 chevy the 12 accord will get a resale of 3k easy hands down just a lil tip keep up the good work and u and the fam b safe
The problem with that is that this era of Mazda is already rust-prone, and having been swimming, this one is going to rust even quicker than normal. People who buy cheap cars tend to be an awkward lot so if someone buys that and it rusts out in a couple of years, they're going to moan like hell about it and tell everyone they know not to buy a car from Weird Beard or Randy. That kind of thing gets around, inevitably gets inflated in the retelling and can destroy a business very quickly...
No way.....that mazda isn't worth that. It's a flood car...you want him to sell someone a problem car? Even if it wasn't a flood car, it's not worth that
That was a nice looking Honda coupe next to the 53 V8 Chevy. I'm not 100% but I think the blue V8's are 308 same as the ones sent to Australia for the early model Holden's from the 60's through to the 90's.
My first car was an '03 Mazda Protege and honestly the only reason I got rid of it was because of rust (Ilive in ontario Canada, that tends to happen a lot up here) it was a great little car, for the two years I had it I never had any major issues and I wasn't necessarily that "nice" to it either. Honestly If I ever find another one, (that's not rusted) I'll buy it. If the car goes for cheap go ahead and grab it. Parts are cheap too.
Not sure about the O3 Monster but I would say if nothing else, would be interested to see as an experiment how well an ozone machine would get rid of the mold smell!
Randy I would say don't mess with that Mazda but if you got it cheap it enough you could clean it up throw a set of cheap Douglas tires on it and send it down the line.
Do note that if you go back far enough in the vintage of the “Chevy 265 straight 6-cylinder” engine you are going to run into poured crankshaft bearings. The transition was somewhere in the early 50’s. Rebuilding a 265 with poured bearings is not worth the effort as the skill to do that is long since been lost: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_straight-6_engine
Interesting factoid. Toyota licensed the 265 6-cylinder engine from GM and used it for quite some years in their Land Cruiser: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Land_Cruiser
When you put a battery in the trunk you better run some#0 3 copper. Welding cable are you're not going to get the amps to crank a big engine that's a lot of line loss
Second 53 Chevy has an Olds V8 in it. Hard cranking probably from spun bearings as those Olds engines had garbage oiling systems. Only thing worse than those were the old Caddy V8's. If you were able to get it fired up, most likely it would have sounded like skeletons screwing on a tin roof.
51 Chevy. Three on the tree. My uncle had one. Traded it for a new 63 Chevy Impala. I learned to drive stick on my oldest cousins 54 Chevy. Summer of 1976. I was 17. Love those early 50s chevys.
Man what a beautiful old Chevy coupe straight 6, awesome interior looks really good rare to find one of these solid cars beautiful man what a wonderful car
The Chevy Coupê was the most beautiful car you 've ever shown , Big hug from friend Marcos Polux Brasil 🇱🇷🤜 🤛
the first 50's chevy sounds like its solid and would run with a small amount of work, and I wouldnt bother with the second
53 Chevy, all the Hard work is Done...V8, Front Clip with Brakes, COME ON !! See what Maaco can DO !! Don't forget to get the door jams done... Would be Great Content ! 206 SEATTLE
I would love to get my hands on one of those Chevys. I've always loved the American cars. Greetings from the UK
Thank you Randy for all the work and effort you do to make these videos every day. I definitely couldn't do it.
Mazda! Heavy green metal flake! Do it Randy!😀
It was a flood car.......you don't spend money on a flood car...
Great video! I am a huge MINI Fan and seeing that mini cooper at 6:00 made me really sad..i hope someone (hopefully you) bring it back to life..it really is a great car!
I love those old 50s coupes
Second one is a 54. 53 had round turn signals in front. My cousin had a 54 I learned to drive stick on.
The 54 has frenched tail lights as this one does and were originally chrome. the 53 had no actual surround around the tail lights, they just jutted out of the body. We had a 54 station wagon my Dad bought new and we kept it for almost twenty years before it crapped out.
There is a hidden ignition switch on the 1951. Right by the oil pressure gauge!
I thought I saw that too. It's far from unusual for older cars to have hidden switches fitted to isolate the ignition or fuel pump on injected cars as the standard security equipment was pretty much non-existent so they were hugely easy to steal. Being as both vehicles clearly came from the same person then it's more than likely that they both have the same sort of security modification...

that coupe mam that is sweet
I love the old car content Randy!!!

That Mazda will outlive that Mini Cooper.
A Hyundai Excel will outlive a Mini Cooper. 100,000 miles on a Mini is a accomplishment.
Love both of the 50's Chevy's!!

The little Madza would make a good little giveaway car. Just clean it up a bit.
you need to buy both of those Chevy's they will be super easy to get running and you can make either a super cool project or good flip
Yes on 1951 .just a clear coat. Keep the patina.
Man them old chevys!👍
Poor little Mazda, it needs a good home. I wish I could come get it. Mazda is a great little car.
It's a flood car........they never last when they've been flooded...the chevys are way better
The Cruze is an good flip, a lot of the bigger haildings can be pulled from Weird beard, that could be a good car for someone
51 Chevy - probably flooded the carb when you initally hit the gas pedal - to clear it - open the choke (push choke control IN) & depress gas pedal all the way & crank away - DON'T PUMP IT!!
Look at all the comenmts on the old Chevys , and how good they would be for your channel !
Get both the 50s chevys get em both there a jem. Buy em both and flip em they are so cool
I would take the first Chevy because it’s original. I would love to see you get the original car running.
Definitely the first 1951 Chevy coup more original.
Things to do.
Run and drive
Maaco paint Red body white roof and some white wall
New excuse duel straight pipe with fish tail tips
03 Mazda---NOOOOOOOO, that first old Chevy would be the one to get. Man that thing is sweet! inline 6, 3 on the tree, NICE!
A 3-on-the-tree!!!! Buy it Randy and don't even think about replacing that inline-6!!!!
BTW, here is the shift pattern:
Up
R 2
The I I The
Seat ---N--- Dash
I I
1 3
Down
R- back toward you and up (From Neutral)
1st- back toward you and down (From Neutral)

By the Mazda 323
That 51 chevy could be running in 20 minutes
Replace the leaky fuel pump first. That will be the 20 minutes job. ☺
Most likely the only reason it didn't run was the fuel pump was leaking fuel which is an indicator of the diaphragm inside failing. Ten to twenty minute job changing it out and it's running.
Right, the ethanol gas eats up the inside of the pumps. The '50 I had I put one on and it ran and I lot drove it even though the oil was full of water and there was a mouse nest inside the valves.
Love the videos Randy appreciate the effort keep up the great work.
Love the videos randy. Much support. I look forward to ur vidoes
Try getting both those Chevy s great projects for the new shope
Buy the 51 great car
I think I the mazada would be great content as a flip car. New carpet for what... 100 to 130 dollars? And a decent detail it would be a great car.
someone probably sabotaged the two coupes so they wouldn't run
Probably and they would just use them both as parts cars
Randy your content now is awesome and better than ever yeah I would drive one of those 50 Chevy's and look proud going down the road with that just like they are keep that patina on it also I would like to show you what I did to my truck you're the 1 how I checked out in was able to find a good vehicle by watching your channel maybe Facebook keep up the good work
Man you ain't kidding about Whataburger I miss them. When i was in FL i got them all the time. Best fast food burgers hands down!
That Mazda could be the salvation for someone that doesnt have a car. Full gas tank to clean the fi system. Good cleaning in out engine, new radio and new wheel covers and you havea winner. It is a good contender for content, how to change a carpet, etc...also you can put in the miracle oil you used for the envoy!!

307 maybe
id love the first 50 chevy because it is more original and i have plenty of patience for restos. Part of my plan for my future channel. Think i may call it old dead cars
What's up with the '66 Chevy Caprice wagon across from the Water Mazda? Pretty rare beast!
Old cars are so much fun
The 50s cars...pick one....use it for a rolling advertisement for AAR and use in parades and such and park out front of AAR when not in use
Whataburger = Texas = Awesome Hamburgers !
I guess they must be a southern / midwest thing, I've never heard of them (MA / New England).
51 is worth 4k anyday wholesale
Hi Randy. I sure like those two old Chevy's!
Randy if that 03 Mazda was near me I`d buy it in a heart beat ,people here in Slidell, Louisiana drive thru water that deep every time it rains hard , and I bet the price is right ! Change all the fluids and filters, tires and carpet and your good to go !
03 Mazda ,,The fuse for the radio might be blown might be that
Wow. Those old 50's cars were tanks. Big and sturdy. Not sure if I could drive one of those. I'm too short.
Hellcat in the Garage. Hellya!! In speaking of hail all the more reason wide your nice vehicles need to be in that 3 car garage
Turn the Mazda into a "beat-up" car that you can just take on trails and abuse lol. Or it could be a giveaway car
I second this
Much support on ur channel's great content on ur video's
I would of gone with the first one it looked more originall. In UK we don't see that many MANY THANKS FOR THIS CHANNEL. 👍
The bright red button that says start stop lol 😂
Love the videos but I noticed a RV camper in the background ,I would like to see you do a walk around and inside of one of the them thanks
Putting a 12v jump pack on a 6v ignition car you can damage a lot of electrical parts... Just listen to the speed the starter spin too fast...
That was a 12 volt battery in the car.

Shoot I had mine running on a 12V battery with a hotwire from the battery to the coil and the whole ignition bypassed
Buy it bud that 50 car be fun to restore and good video
I like that Chevy truck next the 50's car
You could make one pretty nice car out of the two old chevy coupes. Very kool cars.
None of the parts are interchangable.
Randy my grandfather has a 1951 the igniton has to be straight up and down for it to get spark to the right is off and to the left is lock and there is a special way to jump a 6v system not sure how

I like that car Mazda is good maan i like it
The Buick behind the Mazda is nice.
I would love to have either of them old chevys.
My first car was a 1951 Chevrolet 150. That car is a 210 as it has the chrome on the fins and the clock.
I would not trust the Mazda.. it is one of those cars that you should stay away from. Good video Randy keep up the great work!
Yes for Mazda
The Cruze is nice, too.
That was a nice looking Honda coupe next to the 53 V8 Chevy. I'm not 100% but I think the blue V8's are 308 same as the ones sent to Australia for the early model Holden's from the 60's through to the 90's.
what I have learned about Mini they are a pain don't walk run lol
Dude that mazda would make someone a great little car.
The white station wagon with the woodgrain in the background in the beginning of the video looks like @ '65 Chevrolet!!
IMO - buy both - lots of interchangeable parts. For 3K you get a good deal
My first car was an '03 Mazda Protege and honestly the only reason I got rid of it was because of rust (Ilive in ontario Canada, that tends to happen a lot up here) it was a great little car, for the two years I had it I never had any major issues and I wasn't necessarily that "nice" to it either. Honestly If I ever find another one, (that's not rusted) I'll buy it. If the car goes for cheap go ahead and grab it. Parts are cheap too.
Dude you guys get some fckn serious hail out there.
Randy, speaking of crazy weather, today it snowed (I think about 8 inches) in some parts of Idaho..in the middle of June!!!
Not sure about the O3 Monster but I would say if nothing else, would be interested to see as an experiment how well an ozone machine would get rid of the mold smell!
Win are you going to get some trucks to work on again
Randy I would say don't mess with that Mazda but if you got it cheap it enough you could clean it up throw a set of cheap Douglas tires on it and send it down the line.
The second one is A '54. You can tell by the front marker lights.
Do note that if you go back far enough in the vintage of the “Chevy 265 straight 6-cylinder” engine you are going to run into poured crankshaft bearings. The transition was somewhere in the early 50’s. Rebuilding a 265 with poured bearings is not worth the effort as the skill to do that is long since been lost:

Interesting factoid. Toyota licensed the 265 6-cylinder engine from GM and used it for quite some years in their Land Cruiser: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Land_Cruiser
GM produced the 265 straight 6 in some form from 1929 till 1990.
I’ll say this, you’re gonna spend what it cost to fix the 53’s window on what it’s gonna take to fix that Mazda
I'd still fix the 53
I was looking at the start button the whole time your were looking for it 🤣
Hope you get one f the 1950's Chevy's 😀
When you put a battery in the trunk you better run some#0 3 copper. Welding cable are you're not going to get the amps to crank a big engine that's a lot of line loss
Man like those two old Chevys and that poor Mazda! 😥
Good content put mos. Kit on it and blow it up on purpose just to see how mutch power can get out of it just for fun love to see that
Second 53 Chevy has an Olds V8 in it. Hard cranking probably from spun bearings as those Olds engines had garbage oiling systems. Only thing worse than those were the old Caddy V8's. If you were able to get it fired up, most likely it would have sounded like skeletons screwing on a tin roof.
Get the one with the 6 cylinder and three on the tree. I have an old Chevy with that type drive train.
The 1st Chevy (starter) sounds like it may have been switched to 12 volt....
