Video Description
Turn on subtitles or view the transcript at the bottom of the description if you'd like explanations on what I'm doing throughout the video. This is a 1956 (I believe) Chevy 210. Inline 6, 3 speed column shifter, 4 door. The last time it was registered, presumably the last time it was driving, was 1983. The car originally lived in California but at some point it was brought to Minnesota, and It's been passed down through one family for most of its life. The owners of the car asked me if I could get it running and driving again. I did get it driving, but it looks like it'll be needed a lot more help to be truly drivable. Fortunately, the owners do want to keep funding the repairs, so expect a part 2 soon.
