- In this video, Chad and Joe get to work on this 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe that has been sitting for 30 years in a horse pasture.
Can we get it to run and drive? Watch and find out for yourself.
My Father-In-Law is working on a 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe, 4 door. It's so hard to find parts for it, and when he does, they are really expensive.
I just bought a 49 special deluxe 4 door and this video gives me hope in getting mine going!! Great job!
I had to replace a ring gear in the rear end for a 1955 Packard and this was before the Internet. After calling someone who knew someone who knew someons enough times, I finally found one at an old shop in Ohio. I drove from Atlanta to Dayton, Ohio and paid what he was asking, but he also gave me a repair manual fot my 1955 Packard Patrician, so worth the trip! Good luck to anyone saving an old car or truck!
Their are several reasons for this: scarcity of original products, junk yards disappearing, and crushing yards just to name a few.
6 VOLT SYSTEM==
Great old MOPAR 👍🏻🇦🇺
That's a 218 ci L head flathead 6. Set the points at .016 and the plugs at .035 and if you've got any compression it'll start and run. If you have little or no compression in a couple cylinders, you've probably got a couple of stuck valves which can usually be rectified by pulling the head and tapping the valves down after lubrication and making sure they are on the baseline of the camshaft.
That was the best you tube show I have watched in a minute Chad! Two things I love that car and we are doing Joe 😂.
Thanks
I love it! Working on that old Plymouth and getting it running reminds me of some of the stuff the guys in my childhood neighborhood had going. I remember an old jalopy that one of my buddy's oldest brother had and we used to drive it around in the woods. It was "modified" for weight reduction ( half of the body was cut off) and a bunch of us would hang on to anything we could reach while standing on the back bumper. It was so dangerous but what saved us was the fact that it didn't run 98% of the time! 🤣 Good times!
Thanks it was a fun one. We will get it running better and it'll be ready for a parade come summer! Haha
She lives! Do not scrap..😮 That’s a good looking car and she purrrs 🎉 Bolt in the seats Joe .
Not scrapping er!
That is a black beauty you guys bought....the car looks in pretty good shape ..it is going to hit roads now. Keep it up guys.
It's good from a far but far from good! But it's certainly fun to play with and tinker on
Yes ..that is what the vintage mystery is all about ...age works up rust and passionate people like you all rope in love and care to revamp it back to life. There is lot more than satisfaction becos your efforts knock the bygone era in present times...appreciate heartily we all enjoy your videos...my regards to you from India...stay safe.
Great video again! I especially like how you improvised a gas tank and string gas pedal. Looks like you guys will have some inside winter projects to work on. Hopefully you can get some of these projects far enough along to sell them!
Thank you James!
Tip: Cheap ole emory boards are perfect for cleaning a plug. 😉 So, my great grandparents had a top line Plym old school and and later an even more modern 70's. They both ran just like the one y'all have there. Just smooth when it's clicking along. I think it's the carb too. She just needs to breathe and drink a little clearer. Man I can't wait til y'all get to the fun stuff of rebuilding a car! That's gonna be so fun to see!
We’re picking a couple main cars for our winter builds. Should be some nice fun projects!
@@G.A.N.G101 - Can’t wait! You should pull your creative side out and do a couple hype videos for what’s to come. 😉 Then those of us who are excited can guess what it’ll be.
@@PaullaWells I’ve gotta be sure on exactly what the projects will be before hyping stuff up! 😂 I get enough spankings on UA-cam already! 😂
@@G.A.N.G101 - 🤣 Ah some people. 🙄
Here's a thought, next time you're pushing a car off the trailer, have one of your daughters in the driver's seat to apply the brakes when it's off the trailer. ❤️
Lol well Joe really insisted it free falls and I can’t take what mystery could happen away from you! 😂
That might work if the brakes work.

Hi I just found your page. Keep up the great finds and work. I just subscribed .
Thank you! We really appreciate it!
Change the oil a couple of times an change all oils plus a full tune crease the front end boys . Get the welder out. She will come up great 👍🏻🇦🇺
Ahhhhh, nothing like the smell of blue smoke. Awesome job guys.
Big shout out to the camera girl. Awesome job.
Huge love ❤ from Canada.
Autumn says thank you for the the shoutout! ❤️
Nice to be in a garage with a roof and walls this time!
Roof and walls are overrated! 😂 ok it is getting cold..
I had a 1951 Plymouth when I was in High School (1966-67). It was a simple car to fix and needed very little maintenance…… Gas and oil and every now and then a set of wiper blades. The most complicated thing on it was the vacuum wipers. Mopar stuck those flatheads in Their cars through 1957. They were as solid as they came. Give that old gal the love she needs….
You can fix just about anything on the car with a set of wrenches. Pretty cool old car that's for sure.
Hey Guy's....Nice work you got her going. All way's liked that style car. I think my dad had one. Leaver her stock. Want to see more on the Plymouth...Good Time's!!
Hey Jim thanks for watching. It's a cool old car that's for sure!
GOOD JOB GUYS==A KEEPER==
Great teamwork guys.😇
Thank you Johnny
Pretty cool old car! I'm seeing it chopped top, channel the body down a few inches, roadster shop chassis with a new hemi and a flame paint job!!!!! Oh yeah....I can see it now!!! Very cool! Looking forward to seeing what's next! Take care, be safe and God bless!
Probably not going to do much with this one. She’s a bit rough and for what it is I’m not sure exactly what Joes going to want to do with it.
My Aunt had an old Belvedere back when we were kids very similar used to drive us all over the place in it i still remember the smell of the mohair and leaded gas 😆👍✌
Good ole Belvedere! How have you been Jim?
RIGHT NOW OCT.3 MY BROTHER HAS A ''CHERRY'' 49 SEDAN LITE GREEN==ONLY 23 THOUSAND MILES==MY UNCLE BOUGHT ONE NEW==KEPT IT FOR 20 YEARS==HE WAS 88==
Nice!
She's a beauty.
Sorry no Isaac 😂
@@G.A.N.G101 As you should be, but at least there were awesome cars
Interesting video , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thank you Michael! Hope you’re doing well!
After getting gasoline on your hands, remember to wash them. While coated with gasoline residue they are the base unit of a torch, should ignition occur. this happened to a man I know. The results were not good.
Nice ole car great video
Thank you Raymond!
My Mom and Dad bought one of those brand new in grey. It was 750 dollars. Have fun and take care.
Very cool Carl! Be about the equivalent of 9000 bucks today. That's another of car for 9 grand!
I question your figures, because I don’t believe you can find any new car in the U.S. for $9,000, let alone one that seats five or six people. Take care and happy shopping!
Very cool!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Probably fried that 6 volt coil with that 12volt battery😄
This car has had a 12v conversion already
Ohhh I love late 40s and early 50s cars. This thing is gorgeous. But you guys are spoiled for choice over there. My old man and I did a 48 Humber with suicide doors- but you probably never heard of a Humber. Great channel! Love the workshop too. Jake
Never heard of it
Nice car awesome
Thank you Mark!
Better put the hood back on to keep the rain out,, you guys are very funny
We did
joe your foot - string coordination is impressive!!
Lol
Get a manual fuel ⛽️ pump back on it electrical fuel pumps remind me of lap top car🤔😀👍🏻🇦🇺
😂
Fella’s in your opinion what is an engine design from the past that deserves resurrection?
This is Joe. I think that the straight 6 from almost any auto maker deserves a comeback. Ford 4.9, jeep 4.0, dodge slant 6, chevy Jimmy 6. All fantastic motors that last a lifetime
12 valve Cummins! Chad here!
Careless of you can to let the old girl roll off the trailer with no pilot Once the carb is gone through, plus a real throttle pedal, you'll be in business.
Joe likes to keep things interesting. Some cars we care more about than others. Thanks for watching
@@G.A.N.G101 Old Mopars sometimes don't get the respect they deserve. They're like the"red-headed step-child".
@@jeromebreeding3302 😂 I know that feeling!
12 volts ?
Someone upgraded it.
Should be 6 Volts
crikey the car is sweet .she wll be a looker
It's definitely good from afar but far from good. We will get it to a state of being able to drive it without a shoe lace probably haha
You guys are crazy 😂. But you both got it going 😁👍💞
Thank you Mary!
first time viewer ... great production guys
Thank you we really appreciate you checking us out!
Joes wearing a topper hoodie, any connection to upper peninsula?
We are located in the UP
Another great video but the sound mix and level needs work.
The rain was pouring at the beginning of the episode and for some reason it really affected the audio quality for the first 14 minutes. We're still learning!
@@G.A.N.G101 You've got the talent and the crew. This series has a fast action feel and the camera work and editing is super fantastic. The sound is just as important as the images. I'm rooting for your success. "Outlaws on the run".
The heater core and fan, was inside under the dash for the 47 Dodge D-24. I should know, I own one.
They were moved in 49 with the Post war design. They had a somewhat high failure rate and could explode on passengers feet. Your 47 would have it directly above the passengers feet
@@G.A.N.G101 I can see that happening.
lots of rust but it should be gorgeous by the time your done hugsssss
Not sure if this one is going to get all fixed up or not.
Cameraman doing a good job
Thank you Chad! Autumn has definitely taken a liking to the filming side of things
Oh yeah, Copper Head Road!
I'm coming to Lansing Michigan In 2 weeks to look at A 40 mercury 2 Door hardtop
We're quite a bit further north than that. I have a 50 Merc we might have on the show at some point
That's cool I figured you were a bit further north the guy had it in the barn for 40 yrs up on blocks it's black in color so I just bought a flat head 6 cylinder for 50.oo at a action it's locked up but it's a 1958 but don't matter I will rebuild it 50 Merc can't wait to see it
To late i did that in a duce and half back in the 70'sto get back to base
😆
6 volt gen don't 12 volt battery
HEY CHAD HUG MY DOG!!
😂 I will!
new to the channel but stupid question? Why just let it roll off the trailer?? Someone could have easily been inside to steer it. Not smart.
This is a newer trailer to Joe. His old one was lower and they tended not to roll off as violently
30 years. Not a spec of dust. Even the windows are clear clean. Mmmmmmm
If you noticed we pulled it in from the rain.. cars don’t collect too much dust sitting outside. The barn finds are another story.
she runs like 🧈
Like buttah
HELLO BRAZIL BEAUTIFUL CAR KISS
Thanks for watching! They don't make them like this anymore
Likre
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN laws)!!!!!!!!!
Yep I believe you said that in every single one of our videos. Sorry to hear that
I don't know whether its me or others are the same but I can't hear what you are saying I am interested in what you are doing but with barely any sound it is not worth my time to watch your channel.
Sorry Douglas I’m not sure why you can’t hear us? We have new top of the line wireless microphones and haven’t had anybody else mention it. I’m assuming it’s on your end ?
@@G.A.N.G101 I don't know but at around 14 minutes the sound came in loud and clear for the rest of the video.
@@cl18od6 what device are you watching the video on?
I turned it off I couldn't handle you people no more.
Can't make everyone happy I suppose. What didn't you like just out of curiosity
@@G.A.N.G101 the way you push that car off the trailer it's like your damage in the damn car I want to assume you want to fix the car not damage it
Good video, but you need a better helper Joe, one not so obnoxious......
😂
