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.
