picked up the 67 last saturday put a battery in it and every thing works it was winterized and had a tune up done b4 it was parked so i am going to just put some oil in the cylinders and run a external gas tank to the fuel pump and see if she runs! tranny fluid looks new.. i cleaned the valve covers and they still have the "Tonawanda Chevrolet #1 sticker" on them. I cleaned the oil fill tube and air cleaner threw a new air filter in i have hoses and t stat and other misc stuff should be cool im gonna try this weekend to see if she has life...left in her. the car is missing the power steering and a master cylinder for the brakes but other than that every thing is there.

 

Nice man, I'm jealous.

It kinda reminded me of al bundy's old dodge when he took it in for a car wash and they lost his car, but it turned out after they washed it, it was a different color!

 

Man, a nicely preserved piece of history from a much simpler time. Way cool Tim.

Thats from back when you could lift a hood and actually know there was a motor that lived in there........wait.....I resemble those days.

 

tried starting the caprice on saturday sounded like the starter wasnt kicking out the drive gear so i looked under the car today and the starter was not bolted in..lol so i found some bolts and tied it up and threw some starter fluid in it and cranked it and it kicked a couple times i am getting fuel i am just running a 1 gallon external tank to the fuel pump don't know if i am getting spark i know the plugs are in bad shape i might pick up a set tomarra at work. and pull the cap and see what i am workin with points gap and cap condition blehhh....

 

So what r your plans for this car?

 

so far just see if i can run the motor as is and then lower it and toss some 18's on it and 4 wheel disc brakes fix the vinyl top and front windshield and cruise man. future plans are

 

Cool man sounds like a solid plan. It will look good with some 18's
