71+ year old FUD here. The very definition of Land Yacht. I’m envious. I was expecting the power plant to be a 440. I guess the 400 with that high geared rear end was Chrysler’s fuel saver 😂 package for the big body cars that year. I had a 1977 4x4 W150 Power Wagon with the 400 big block. I’ll tell you about that when I get to your videos on the Dodge Trucks. Happy Motoring!😊

Canadian Dodge's were all Plymouth with Plymouth tailights.

V8's you could get a three speed auto.

I like the mirror on the windshield.

71+ year old FUD here. Wow! You’re movin’ on up to what I call the new “modern” age stuff😂. Happy motoring!😊

71+ year old FUD here. Nice old car. Working man’s special. Interesting that in 1958 the fuel filler door was on the side and in your ‘63 Chryslers and later vehicles it was at the back behind the license plate. Happy motoring!😊

when are you going to list it for sell, I'm interested in it

I had a white '65 Satellite with a black vinyl roof and center console shift as my first car. It was unique styling for Mopar at the time; my Dad once said it reminded him of a Mercedes. I wrecked it, unfortunately. I don't know how long I would have kept it, but I had bee racing it (amateur for sure!) and had already broken a motor mount. I'd really like another one but I don't know where I'd even begin to search. Oh, and if you see a '63 Avanti anywhere, let me know.

71+ year old FUD here. Wow! Another’63 Newport. I guess just getting there is half the fun. The stops at the Southern Restaurant and the rail yard were my favorite parts. Driving in big cities drives me crazy so I try to avoid those situations. I’m a two lane cruiser guy too. Very seldom drive very far at night. Too old for that sort of stuff anymore. Happy motoring!😊

71+ year old FUD here. Well that was a trip down memory lane to my youth. Trouble is some memories are fading. In the video about the ‘72 Coronet I mentioned my folks ‘65 Dodge Coronet 440 that I did my first legal driving in. The similarities with that 65 Belvedere start with the 318 with the automatic transmission. The column shift lever is similar but not exactly the same shape. Our Coronet definitely had power steering but I don’t think it had power brakes. Tires were 7.75-14. Interior and trim were a step up from the Belvedere series. The things I can’t remember is the shape of the speedometer and instrument panel layout. Also no remembrance of the heater controls. It seems the slide to open or close the heater valve might have been laid out horizontally and parallel to a slide to control if heat went to floor or defroster vents. I’ve never heard the word POLY attached to the 318. What does that signify? The only thing I remember about the engine was that the air cleaner cover had “250 HP” or maybe it spelled out horsepower but definitely 250. Remembering all the details from over fifty years ago is somewhat taxing on my remaining little grey cells. I remember the first summer the folks had the Coronet we made the drive from central Iowa to the Black Hills with the requisite stops at the Corn Palace in Pierre (that’s pronounced Peer) South Dakota and Wall Drug. It was hotter than Hell. I was only 12 so mostly slept on the back seat with a towel rolled up in the window to keep from getting sun and wind burned.We were tent camping so hot in day and cold at night. Sturgis was a nice little town then. Deadwood was great for kids. Not so much now IMHO. The 318 on that Belvedere sounds great though those duals. What did you do with the carb? I would have just put in a carb kit including new bushings on the throttle and choke shafts. Regarding the trunk lock my impatience would have gotten the better of me. I’d have just called a good locksmith to have a key made. I admit that your finding the new lock was the better result in the long run. Happy motoring!😊

Was that a buffalo in the road

If people don't have anything nice to say they shouldn't say anything at all if they don't like old cars if they don't like Mopars they shouldn't watch your videos if I had the money I would be doing the same thing that you are doing I just don't have the means

I would love to be able to do that one day go cross-country in a classic car

My truck wasn't really meant to be a work truck but I use it as one. It's not as vintage as yours either but it qualifies at 27 years old. It's a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 SS/T. I use it to haul my boat across the state and back, haul leaves and brush to the dump. It helped a lot when I was emptying out my old house and moving to a new one a few years ago. It's got the 5.9L V8 and a four speed automatic. It originally came from South Carolina. I bought it on Ebay back about 2006 and by then it was in Kittery, ME. It's horrible in snow so I park it all winter so it really never sees salt although it does see snow. It's only got two little rust spots, the driver side wheel arch on the box and the passenger side rocker panel has a small hole I patched up. It's got all of 102K miles on it. If you are interested here's a quick video I made last winter doing a cold start after sitting over two months in my backyard. ua-cam.com/video/OBvfRps38Xg/v-deo.htmlsi=hA7WDddUfdSlBxHc

55:24 cool keychain!

What kind of its engine(251,218,230...)?

Where is the front bumper

Do you put a protectant on the vinyl top?

71+ year old FUD here. I’ve just recently discovered your channel. I’ve traveled through the Bad Lands in both North and South Dakota several times in my life. If you ever get a chance, check out both units of Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. I just finished watching your trip to New York actually after watching this edition. The reason I’m commenting now is that I’m concerned about the safety and wellbeing of you and your family in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Are you Ok? I realize that we don’t know each other personally but I feel that we have a common bond because or our common interest in old transportation things ( old cars, trucks, trains, tractors and boats for me) and travel.

I remember these in white as a post sedan used by the Hyattsville Police Department. Small town used big sedans with large V8 engines using enormous amounts of the taxpayer's money to purchase gasoline. The price of gasoline then was only about 30 cents per gallon. They struck fear when viewed in the rearview mirror of teenagers since they just knew that lights would likely flash in moments for any number of reasons. I really like the old Mopar cars and trucks. Thank you for showing the car.

Aaw man... I had my fingers crossed that it was a Hemi

Love your videos keep them coming

71+ year old FUD here. I can remember every car my folks had back to the 1950 Plymouth. All had “3 on the tree” with no radio or AC until they bought a new 1965 Dodge Coronet 440 with the 318 V8. Finally got an AM radio but still no AC.😢 We lived in a really small (population about 225 ) Iowa town so only jobs for youngsters were working for farmers. I actually learned to drive tractors and trucks pulling wagons on country roads before I was old enough to get a learners permit. Got that learners permit at age 14 in 1967 and did my first legal driving in the Coronet. Dad let me drive a lot even when I only had the learners permit. I had a lot of miles in the Coronet before I got my license at 16. The first car I owned was a 1970 Plymouth Duster with a 198 cu. in. slant six and “three on tree”, no power anything, AM radio AND hang on under dash Chrysler Air Temp AC. I got the car used in 1972 while in college so don’t know if the AC was a so-called dealer ad on or what but I remember that Chrysler Air Temp logo on the under dash evaporator. I don’t remember if it had any safety interlock on the steering column or if you had to push the clutch to the floor to start it. I learned to drive those tractors and trucks with manual transmissions so it was just automatic to put a vehicle in gear when parking especially on any incline. Seldom used the parking brake so it was some times a coordination trick to start before it rolled too far down an incline.😂 Kept that car for six years until some guy rear ended me and it was totaled. I was a dedicated MOPAR driver both cars and trucks until the early 1990’s when Chrysler started going to crap. The last daily driver we had was the tin can 1987 Plymouth Reliant K Car with the 2.2L 4 cylinder. Good fuel mileage but nothing else. You’ve heard of being nickeled and dimed to death? That thing $400’erd me to death. Bad injectors and head gasket problems. Never less than $400 when it went to the shop. Now the only Chrysler product I have left is my 1954 Dodge Coronet with a 241 Hemi and two speed Power Flite automatic transmission. I can pass a semi going up hill with no problems.

Icard North Carolina know it well

Love your cars and vans

Radiator is missing the shroud and could cause overheating.

Only a virtual collector should have that car.I don't believe that you are a collector as you stated that you have put about 20,000 miles on the car since you got it and that isn't collector mileage. I have owned a 1972 Dodge Dart Custom 4 door sedan with a 318 V8, Torqueflite Automatic Transmission, Factory Air Conditioning, Power Steering, Power Brakes and Factory Vinyl Roof. Ihave owned it since 2015 and have put less than 1,000 miles on it. It stays on a 'Battery Tender' . I start and run the car periodically and am in the process of converting the distributor to electronic ignition with a new coil, ignition wires and a new sett of factory spark plugs which for this car are Champions. I was able to get the car at that time (precovid) for $2800 and find the yellow-gold paint with dark green interior and the matching dark green vinyl roof. I recall these cars when they were brand new as I am 71 now. It is an enjoyable time capsule that takes me back to 1972 when I was just 19.

The Badlands are weird, doncha think? Hoping the best for all you North Carolinian's!

Really enjoying your channel. Just watched the Chrysler Wagon Route 66 episode with the wife(hope to do this one day w/her and the kids. We live in Medellin, Colombia) Keep up the Great Content! 💪💪

In Australia for our old rigs Was '3 on the tree' 4 on the floor,and a 3 on the floor 'H pattern' Then with the Dato's etc and Vauxhall Cresta's,for example ,just '4speed column shift' The Vauxhall Cresta was a really good GM automobile And in the bush,outback, desert Australia, cars got driven very very very hard!!!

I owned one of those in a lower trim level. Same color and same year. 400 4 barrel. It seated six adults comfortably.

Hope you were not flooded out by this recent hurricane. Best wishes to you and family.

Back doors are reverse childlocks. Kids can get out but kidnappers and car jackers can't get in. Might be handy depending where you go.

What a find! Beautiful! I'm consumed with envy

Howmuckfordfairlane

love the Commercial Re-enactment, I'm so old I remember that commercial!! ua-cam.com/video/2p8zF0OD-44/v-deo.html

That thing is super cool. My dad just bought a 63 Newport 2 door hard top with a 3 speed manual today. Super cool and solid car. 361 that now has the long ram manifolds.

Beautiful Desoto, we watched your videos here in Brazil

этот мотор ставился на грузовики ЗИЛ 157

Thanks for the great road trip.

Thank you for another top video Austin. Ideal Sunday viewing 👍🏻

Nice sweet car ! Always drive with your lights on for safety 😊

Thanks!! You saved me about 70 dollars!! Won't work on deep crumply dents so will let body shop fix it.👍

Thoroughly enjoying this video Austin. 👍. When you first said you were going Amtrak I thought, how cool, maybe I will do that one day. Then I saw the accommodation and what they did re cancellations. No way would I ever try it. Your wife is great to go along with you on that journey. I hope you did something nice for her? She seems like a great sport! 👍

Yes, they should be ashamed of themselves because that's not a 1958, it's a 1957.

Tremendous. I am really enjoying going through your episodes. This car is a gem. 👍

My Dad had A 58 Ford 3 on the tree when I was A kid in the Early 70s, the Dash looks Similar, especially the Speedometer

Big M! What a road trip... 🤠

Flat land. Drive. Thanks

Howdy from Billings Montana... I'm pissed at you... You left Great Falls and you whizzed right through my town didn't feature it in your video at all... And so yeah I'll tell you right now that's why nobody waved at you in Broadus... So yeah LoloL And also if ever again watch your ass on Highway 212... It's one of the most dangerous Two Lane Highways in the country!!!!
