The satisfaction coming up exactly on that part... I also doing that on my car. I can fix everything i see if that part is from metal, plastic or wood. 🙂
This man is one of the hardest working mechanics I see on UA-cam! Most of the other guy are so lazy about it not only does Chris work hard he also goes on adventures while doing it. And gets enough content to put it all together in one video! I'm so impressed with this guy now I think I know what to do if I get some money.. that's another story though.
I cannot say this strongly enough, THANK YOU!!! I just acquired two 1966 fury wagons. One to fix n drive and the other for parts. Your video on this wagon is beyond priceless. I am watching this over and over!!!! You are such a phenomenal resource!
I've been a fan of you, Jen & Gus since i first discovered you a few months back. but having been a squirrel dad myself, and seeing you two with leo really melts my heart. 🥰
It's doing my heart good to see you bring this old '65 back. My aunt had a wagon of about this vintage. I remember one year all my family went to the lake with her family in it. Four adults, six kids, no problem! I wanted to get my thoughts and memories to you, thanks!
Im just 3 min into this and Im loving this wagon, center console, generally whole old school runner full of youre buddies and girlfriends. . Someone has real good memories in this wagon
I remember seeing this car around in the late 80's when I was in high school. This car came from california (Quartz Hill) It was around alot in 1989. I'm glad to still see it around.
Thank you and your wife for the kindness you show to Leo. I try to help our squirrels by putting out unsalted peanuts in the colder nuts. They stand up and look in our windows if the nuts aren't out there when they show up. They learn fast.
My Dad had a Sport Fury years before I was born. I've always wanted one. This being a station wagon with a center console makes it so cool!!!! I want to find a Fury like this so bad!!!!!!! I love this car!
Brings back memories, I had a 65 fury wagon with a 383HP engine with dual exhaust. 4 speed with a Hurst shifter and a 8 3/4 diff, limited slip 3.23 gears. All that was stock from Plymouth. At first I had a hard time believing it was stock but then found the Service manual and it showed it all including the Hurst shifter. Could do really long hole shots. Strong heavy car.
Leo reminds me of a young gray squirrel that I rescued from a chimney it had fallen down all 3 stories of the house and there was noI way he could have gotten himself out. He has inhaled and swallowed a lot of soot and was in bad shape for a few days but my ex wife and I nursed him back to health. Then it was hard to get him to go back to the life he had before. He kept coming back to her window and waiting to be let in and if we were outside he would come up to us and climb up to sit on our shoulders. He was around all summer and didn’t see much of him over the winter but the next spring he brought his new wife and kids to meet us.
We also rescued 2 baby squirrels (on different years though), they were adorable. We released them at 1 years old and the same thing happened to us with the first one. He kept coming back when we called his name and then after a few months showed the family. After that we never saw him again.
I live across the Betsy Ross in NJ and I surprisingly remember seeing this car at Jack Frost mountain in the winter about 2o some years ago. Very unique vehicle! Good luck!
Well done! It is great to see a revival of the "normal" repairs and oddball tools (ie. the gas tank pump) which was so common "back in the day. The builder/owner seems to have put a lot of care/love into her. Great show!
You are much younger than I am - maybe by thirty years - but watching you work reminds me SOOO much of watching my dad when I was a boy. He could (and did) do anything with any vehicle and back in the sixties owned a scrap (junk) yard and a small haulage company. We always had 40’s and 50’s American cars which was a rarity in London, England at the time..
I love that you are saving and resurrecting this Fury. What a beautiful car. I’m looking forward to more videos of your restoring of this beauty. Keep up the great work. You are really talented.

Loved the video. Brings back memories. I got my license in 1968 and learned to drive on a '66 Plymouth Sport Fury. I've always been a Mopar fan and love the old ones.
My first car was also a 66 sport fury, paid $600. for it. It was white with green interior. Had fender skirts and original floor mats, and perfect body, it even had an old thermo-king a/c added that would freeze you in the hottest of summer days. The best though was opening up all of the windows and hauling tail. I loved that car. Thanks for the memories and the smiles watching your progress bringing your beast back to life.
Beautiful job, so many components, so much knowledge to do each one. Love your squirrel biddy. And it’s wonderful to see someone soldering the right way. Melting the solder with the heat of the work, rather than melting the solder with the torch. Bravo‼️
I'm 72 y/o and I drove a 64 Plymouth Fury 2 with a 361 c/i engine in 1967. I don't remember seeing any 65 station wagons, back in the day. I'm not saying they were rare, but certainly not common. Everyone wanted a 383 or Hemi, though. The six cylinders and 318 were common. Great video.
This video took me way back to the days when I first learned how to work on vehicles with my dad. I remember doing every one of the processes and the "tricks" you performed. It's good to see that kind of savvy knowledge still exists. Great video and very cool car.
You are bringing back my childhood memories with the Plymouth Fury station wagon ….. learned to drive and took my driver’s test in my Dad’s ‘67 Plymouth Fury 3 Station Wagon!!!
This is a cool car! Forgot just how good these cars look. Good motor, transmission works, good room, I like the bucket seat interior modification. Looks like almost all trim is still there. And the exhaust sounds great without being loud. Good score.
Maaaaaan you have a great show. I'm not sure if I've seen you b4,but I caught the chevelle today and I couldn't stop watching it. I did the same thing ,with a 1981 F100 6 ,with a transplanted 75 390,I was in a hurry to drive it n my radiator fell on the fan. I was AZ lucky, I blew the head gaskets,I wasn't anywhere close to home
Great video! I absolutely love the wagons. Might have to pick one up soon… I recently bought a 1973 Plymouth Fury, 400 - 4bbl from the Mopar Hoard Auction in Texas. There’s a revival series on my channel if anyone is curious. Hope to see more of this car!
Watched this entire video took a couple days though. You are the guy I wish I could be. My knowledge level of cars is not up to yours but my love for these old cars is the same. In a perfect world, I would do one project car after another just like you. The fact you have a beautiful woman and a cute squirrel as a pet are the icing on the cake. Keep up the good work you now have a new subscriber!
I bought one of these in 1978 at a junk yard I was 16 it had a 440, cleaned it and tuned it up new tires and the thing was a beast. I can not believe you do not have a parts cleaner.
I don't know if anyone ever told you, but those fuel filters that spin are NO GOOD! They loosen and cause fires. You're better using one of those plastic in-line filters.
Damn, man! That was some great work, and an awesome watch! I see these guys getting stuff running again, and that's it. Anyone can do that. Well, almost anyone. LOL. You? You go the extra mile. Radiator work, ignition lock cylinder, freeze plugs, GOOD carb rebuild with actual info and tips.....on and on! I am a mechanic for a living, been swingin wrenches for almost 40 years. I love rescuing old "junk", currently working on resurrecting a 74 Jeep J20 4x4 that sat for 34 years. Oh, and there is the fact that you're in PA, I was born in eastern PA (Allentown) and raised in western PA, outside of Pittsburgh. And your name is Chris? Come on, man! Mine too! Keep up the great work, Brother, you are inspiring me all the way in Southern Cali! And at 53, I need all the inspiration I can get! LOL!!!
I had a 1970 SS Chevelle 396, accel super coil and a Edelbrock performer intake topped with a Holly 850 double pumper. I had the same set up in the 1969 SS El Camino. Those were the days when cars were fun to work on. The 396, with headers and a radical cam was one beautiful sound.
Hi, first time I've watched your UA-cam tutorial on vehicles. I'm approaching 70 years old and I am an English gentleman living in France. I've just watched the entire program very very interesting it brought back so many memories of when I was in my teens early 20s myself and two other friends of mine we all had American cars back in the UK back in the late 60s early 70s one of my friends had a I think it's called a rambler estate I can't member who is actually made by, another friend had a Ford Mustang, I myself had a Pontiac Parisian not quite sure if I spelt it right the headlights were very similar to the front of your car stacked I think they were called it had a 283 Chevy engine in it and it was right hand drive, I spent probably around five months on it stripping it and rebuilding and painting it I'm sad to say that I sprayed it something like Starski and hutch if you remember these guys I believe they had a grand Torino. Mine was metal flake red with a metal flake silver stripe going down the side and like yours had a big four barrel Holly on the top lot stuck out through the bonnet with a big bug scoop sticking out of it and it had side flush header mufflers on it, so you can probably imagine that you could hear it from a few miles away. It was great to see your wife or your partner involved in helping you a lady who was helping me at the time called Maggie she was a darling in a lot of ways. Keep up the great work it's great if you both can get involved in restoring something. And I've had three Harley Davisons as well my last one was a soft towel deuce. 1550cc . Big bore kit up rated cams and upgraded fuel pump two into one exhaust system which I got from the states it was called a boom Ken and it did I was the only person in Europe that I've got one as they were a special limited edition. Stay safe keep up the great work Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you. Phil from the Moulin in France
Philip, I think your Pontiac was a Parisienne ("She's a Lady, wo-wo-wo") and originally a Canadian. (I know, how is that possible?) The Chev engines were used in Canadian Pontiacs, and the stacked headlights were used from 63 through 67. Does that sound right?
Remind me of myself back in the day. Would love to get my hands on one that didn't require a whole lot to get it going. Awesome car! So glad to see somebody in the younger generation out to preserve part of our American history. Great job! Keep up the great work and I'll keep on watching! 👍
This was my first video I viewed by you. Wow, the macgyver of mechanics.....even more impressive is how you stayed with the project to get it running again, and how other people committed how little rust it has. It brought back memories of 20 years ago when I'd drag cars like that home and my neighbors would come over, drink beer and help me get them running. They have all past away
Coming in late for the comments, but man....that starter sound hit the memory banks.....the folks had a 63 Plymouth Belevdere and a 69 Town and Country Chrysler with the 383 4bbl. That old Mopar sound!
Excellent video especially since I wrote in the way back of one of those when I was a kid no seatbelts required! When I tell my grandkids that there were no seatbelts and that everybody smoked everywhere they look at me like I have three heads! I think I’m gonna watch some more of your videos thank you
Definitely a cool wagon! First time I've seen gm buckets in a mopar. Look like the seats from my dad's 67 lemans. Those glass fuel filters are huge fire hazards as well. The fuel pump should be mounted back by the fuel tank as well. Definitely a cool ol rig for sure!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Some epic shots , love the neighbourhood! Long? Rambling? Give us more i say!!!!! Ill never tire of your work , the little deviations and VLOG as you put it stuffs , the animals , the J.Sugint , music and singing, real time TV can never be this good and we dont want anyone to know so they dont steal you!
Got my drivers license when I turned 16 in 1972. My first car was a ‘65 Sport Fury. My mom and dad bought it new and I bought it from them. Had it for two years and got a ‘70 Roadrunner. My sister got the Fury and in a year it was gone. Fast forward to last year. I was going through my dads work bench. He passed 12 years ago and this was the first time I’d looked through his bench and tool box. I was feeling around at a shelf that was over my head. I found the keys to the Fury. He placed them there for me to find. They’re on my key ring today. Thanks, dad!!
Love that front license plate had many of them back when gas was 99 cent a gallon . You didn't need a reason to drive around you just drove with no destination. The hooptie shagging wagon love it
Really enjoyed the video. Just a tip with the ignition key. As long as a key will fit the barrel you can just push and pull on the key very quickly so the wards dont have time to fall back down while turning it then it will at some point turn.
Funny that these mid 60’s (basically) family cars generate just amazing “view” numbers. I see it time and time again on other youtuber’s channels. They do a lot of very cool, informative, creative, instructive content and then one day in passing they post a video about 55 year old Impala/Fury/Catalina/Bel Air/Polara/LTD/etc and the view count for that video just explodes. I guess the people that were little kids back in those days are just connecting very strongly with these vehicles. They’d be a ~60 year old demographic now and are no doubt prone to getting emotional when seeing these vehicles. Noth’n wrong with that! Tks for posting the Fury!
When this car was made the main motor company in the U.K. was Leyland Motors. One of their cars would have been much easier to get home, you wouldn’t have needed a trailer. All you’d have to do is brush up all the piles of rust, bag it, stick it in your boot (trunk) and Bob's your uncle. It might be a bit more difficult to put back together again but you can’t have everything. A fantastic video, thank you.
As an owner of an old Mopar wagon, sell it before anything rear of the driver's seat fails. Parts for the back half are unobtanium. Great content, though, and glad to see a "will it run" where someone does everything the right way!
Not totally true. Quite often fuel tanks can be had in the aftermarket plus bumpers and taillights are the same as the 4 door car. OTOH, tailgates, rear quarters, glass, and trim parts are like hen's teeth.
@@rupe53 you've clearly never owned a Mopar wagon. No one makes tanks or sending units for them. I've been looking for years and ended up repairing the tank and sending unit in mine. There is absolutely nothing in the aftermarket for B-Body and C-body wagons. I'm in a few Mopar wagon groups and every time someone new pops in to ask about about where to buy tanks and sending units, everyone in the group has a good chuckle.
The Fury got me watching, your ability hooked me. I’ve watched a number of your videos now. I enjoy your humor. You lady has the voice of an angel! Enjoy you adventures, and keep up the fantastic work!
41:08 "The only part" = Hence why newer cars are redesigned to be parts dependent. Redesigned to be non serviceable, plastic parts to break by time (not use), sealed parts (to prevent repairs) etc. These things can literally keep running with little to no parts over an indefinite number of years and little to no reliance on manufacturers due to little to no planned/engineered obsolescence, little to no legal blocking for 3rd party manufacturers to make replacement parts etc.
Congrats on passing 100,000 subs , soon you will be 500,000 and then 1 million and counting. The car is worth what somebody is willing to pay , start high and be open to reasonable offers. ;-) . I hope that you continue to make videos just the way that you do now , I will be here to watch all of them and it is always awesome to see Jen and Leon make an appearance. Thank you !
Thanks Richard took a long time to get to 100k. But yeah hopefully keep growing with it. I'll probably throw it up before like 6K or something and see what happens. Or maybe just do a part two on it. Who knows
Kinda cringed at first attempted start, not knowing the carb and timing settings and having your bare arm over the carb throat. Seen some mighty backfires in my time.
I have a 65 Fury 3 2 door hardtop with the 383 as well, it was my car in high school (in the late 90's) . Mine has a bad knock, I am waiting till I get a home with a shop so I can pull the motor. Good to see a Fury in the wild, keep up the good work!
My 66 had the Poly. The guy I sold it to yanked it out and stuffed a 440 in there. I almost cried. The poly died a slow death out behind his garage in the mud
@@christopherjames3027 I have a 65 Fury 1..with the 318 poly/727....just a question..did the 440 fit Right in? All ways wondered if the poly shared the same bell housing as the Big Block's
@@christophersells9146 I’m not too sure about the installation. I sold the car to the guy that did the swap, so I’m not sure how straight forward it was to be honest. It just bugged me that he yanked out a perfectly good running 318 and trashed it. LOL.
Well done! 👍 It's nice to see how rare cars come to life! I would love to take on such a car myself, but we don't have anything like that in Russia, and with our laws it's simply unrealistic to bring such a car from the states to us !!!☹ I hope someday I still manage to visit America, and even better to work there on the restoration of classic American cars.
Always enjoy your vids bro! Shes cammed alright!! Sounds pretty rowdy. The interior cleaned up quite nicely with the pressure washer. Good thing that freeze plug was blown out because it put you on to all the garbage inside the block and the cooling system. I've seen water pumps do that often when the impeller is just free wheeling on the shaft. Usually it's the composite or plastic impeller ones it happens to commonly. Gotta love how cheap the parts are for these domestic cars. You should Por-15 the hell out of all the floor pans and such. Someone took some time to do some decent work and put some good parts on that thing. Nice to see you go through it and address all that stuff and resurrect it in general. I see a ton of potential in this baby, period. Was going to ask about Leo but you read my mind and showed him anyways. He is so F'N COOL!!! LOL I got a kick out of his 'nut storage.' LMFAO!!! Hes looking extremely healthy and awesome as ever with his little attitude and things that he does. What a character!!! Stay cool man, and keep up the kick ass videos bro!!! Thank you for sharing this!! 👍👍🤙😎
This just showed up in my feed, nice ride man! If you decide to put headers on that beast, i will gladly take the old cast manifolds off your hands, those look like the HP style, I could use them for my old Police car i am fixing up. Old wagons get cooler every year!
Haha, these are great wagons. Our family had the huge 426 4Bbl 4speed stick, came factory @365 Hp. Got a little over 10 gph, but gas was only .29 cents a gallon back then.
Man, I love this car. I can't wait to see more on it; I'd love to own her, but I want to build a shop more. You always have great content. congratulations. on 100k man; you deserve way more. Then that!!! Also love seeing a mechanic do things vs the other channels that skip the steps that really are necessary!!
Very friggin cool. I would get my hands on a good Holley 4160 750 cfm for a mopar with correct linkage and it would be fun. Stay with a spread bore it works best for auto's. Might need a lighter spring for the secondaries. Make sure the choke is working properly and it will fire right up in the freezies.
I have never seen any one explain ,break down and rebuild better than you . I truly enjoyed the way you did it all. It was indeed a pleasure to see someone that does it the way you do explained in completion. Keep up the good work my brother. From what I have seen. No one does it better than you. And it was a pleasure to see. Rock and roll !
Our family had a 66 Ford wagon, I think it had the 390 in it. My mothers daily driver back then. When you removed the back seat assembly that folds up/down it immediately reminded me of the Ford. Different manufacturer, same idea. The engine on yours sounds like it has an after market cam. Very neat. Fun video to watch.
44:00 Those Holley fuel pumps are happier pushing fuel rather than sucking it. Holley recommends having it mounted as close to the tank as possible. It's why it sounds so unhappy. I made the mistake of mounting mine under the hood, didn't last too long. Located it by the tank, never had another problem with it
My first car was a 1965 Plymouth Fury 1 that same color. Plain jane, 383 4bbl with 3 on the tree. My uncle had rolled it and my grandfather jacked the top out and beat the quarter panels and fenders straight-ish. Replaced the windshield and she was ready to roll. Man what a car... thing would absolutely smoke the tires. Well tire anyway.
That style of V8 emblem on the fender was used for “A” series engines such as the old style poly spherical cylinder head 318. That would have the distributor in the back. A “Comando V8” emblem was used on “B” series engines. Most likely your wagon has had a heart transplant. Look at the block stamp on the left side of the distributor. That will tell you more.

Beautiful job, so many components, so much knowledge to do each one. Love your squirrel biddy. And it’s wonderful to see someone soldering the right way. Melting the solder with the heat of the work, rather than melting the solder with the torch. Bravo‼️
I'm 72 y/o and I drove a 64 Plymouth Fury 2 with a 361 c/i engine in 1967. I don't remember seeing any 65 station wagons, back in the day. I'm not saying they were rare, but certainly not common. Everyone wanted a 383 or Hemi, though. The six cylinders and 318 were common. Great video.
This video took me way back to the days when I first learned how to work on vehicles with my dad. I remember doing every one of the processes and the "tricks" you performed. It's good to see that kind of savvy knowledge still exists. Great video and very cool car.
👍
I'm not a mechanic. I work with wood. I love everything wood. Nonetheless, I appreciate someone's craft just the same. This is some good stuff.
“I love everything wood.” 🤔
You are bringing back my childhood memories with the Plymouth Fury station wagon ….. learned to drive and took my driver’s test in my Dad’s ‘67 Plymouth Fury 3 Station Wagon!!!
You're an exceptional mechanic. I doubt there's anything you couldn't fix.
This is a cool car! Forgot just how good these cars look. Good motor, transmission works, good room, I like the bucket seat interior modification. Looks like almost all trim is still there. And the exhaust sounds great without being loud. Good score.
Those seats look like 67 GTO strato buckets.
@@richcar3434 Yeah! Was thinking the same thing...was like those are either Pontiac or Ford seats.
A 727 Torqueflite is nearly indestructible up to about 600 horsepower. Just keep juice in it.
Maaaaaan you have a great show. I'm not sure if I've seen you b4,but I caught the chevelle today and I couldn't stop watching it. I did the same thing ,with a 1981 F100 6 ,with a transplanted 75 390,I was in a hurry to drive it n my radiator fell on the fan. I was AZ lucky, I blew the head gaskets,I wasn't anywhere close to home
Great video! I absolutely love the wagons. Might have to pick one up soon… I recently bought a 1973 Plymouth Fury, 400 - 4bbl from the Mopar Hoard Auction in Texas. There’s a revival series on my channel if anyone is curious. Hope to see more of this car!
Watched this entire video took a couple days though. You are the guy I wish I could be. My knowledge level of cars is not up to yours but my love for these old cars is the same. In a perfect world, I would do one project car after another just like you. The fact you have a beautiful woman and a cute squirrel as a pet are the icing on the cake. Keep up the good work you now have a new subscriber!
I bought one of these in 1978 at a junk yard I was 16 it had a 440, cleaned it and tuned it up new tires and the thing was a beast. I can not believe you do not have a parts cleaner.
@Hello Chris how are you doing?
I don't know if anyone ever told you, but those fuel filters that spin are NO GOOD! They loosen and cause fires. You're better using one of those plastic in-line filters.
had one develop a hairline crack once , came real close to burning down a nice squarebody chevy truck
Damn, man! That was some great work, and an awesome watch! I see these guys getting stuff running again, and that's it. Anyone can do that. Well, almost anyone. LOL. You? You go the extra mile. Radiator work, ignition lock cylinder, freeze plugs, GOOD carb rebuild with actual info and tips.....on and on! I am a mechanic for a living, been swingin wrenches for almost 40 years. I love rescuing old "junk", currently working on resurrecting a 74 Jeep J20 4x4 that sat for 34 years. Oh, and there is the fact that you're in PA, I was born in eastern PA (Allentown) and raised in western PA, outside of Pittsburgh. And your name is Chris? Come on, man! Mine too! Keep up the great work, Brother, you are inspiring me all the way in Southern Cali! And at 53, I need all the inspiration I can get! LOL!!!
I had a 1970 SS Chevelle 396, accel super coil and a Edelbrock performer intake topped with a Holly 850 double pumper. I had the same set up in the 1969 SS El Camino. Those were the days when cars were fun to work on. The 396, with headers and a radical cam was one beautiful sound.
@Hello how are you doing?
Hi, first time I've watched your UA-cam tutorial on vehicles. I'm approaching 70 years old and I am an English gentleman living in France. I've just watched the entire program very very interesting it brought back so many memories of when I was in my teens early 20s myself and two other friends of mine we all had American cars back in the UK back in the late 60s early 70s one of my friends had a I think it's called a rambler estate I can't member who is actually made by, another friend had a Ford Mustang, I myself had a Pontiac Parisian not quite sure if I spelt it right the headlights were very similar to the front of your car stacked I think they were called it had a 283 Chevy engine in it and it was right hand drive, I spent probably around five months on it stripping it and rebuilding and painting it I'm sad to say that I sprayed it something like Starski and hutch if you remember these guys I believe they had a grand Torino. Mine was metal flake red with a metal flake silver stripe going down the side and like yours had a big four barrel Holly on the top lot stuck out through the bonnet with a big bug scoop sticking out of it and it had side flush header mufflers on it, so you can probably imagine that you could hear it from a few miles away. It was great to see your wife or your partner involved in helping you a lady who was helping me at the time called Maggie she was a darling in a lot of ways.
Keep up the great work it's great if you both can get involved in restoring something.
And I've had three Harley Davisons as well my last one was a soft towel deuce. 1550cc .
Big bore kit up rated cams and upgraded fuel pump two into one exhaust system which I got from the states it was called a boom Ken and it did I was the only person in Europe that I've got one as they were a special limited edition.
Stay safe keep up the great work Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you.
Phil from the Moulin in France
Philip, I think your Pontiac was a Parisienne ("She's a Lady, wo-wo-wo") and originally a Canadian. (I know, how is that possible?) The Chev engines were used in Canadian Pontiacs, and the stacked headlights were used from 63 through 67. Does that sound right?
Remind me of myself back in the day. Would love to get my hands on one that didn't require a whole lot to get it going. Awesome car! So glad to see somebody in the younger generation out to preserve part of our American history. Great job! Keep up the great work and I'll keep on watching! 👍
As a young man, it makes me happy that people restore old vehicles. It's like keeping history alive.
This was my first video I viewed by you. Wow, the macgyver of mechanics.....even more impressive is how you stayed with the project to get it running again, and how other people committed how little rust it has. It brought back memories of 20 years ago when I'd drag cars like that home and my neighbors would come over, drink beer and help me get them running. They have all past away
Pass your love onto others, my friend. Pay it forward!
MCC's Dennis Gage always said to honor the timeless classics. Watching you get a '65 Fury wagon back running is so amazing. Love this kinda stuff.
Coming in late for the comments, but man....that starter sound hit the memory banks.....the folks had a 63 Plymouth Belevdere and a 69 Town and Country Chrysler with the 383 4bbl. That old Mopar sound!
😂😂🤣🤣 That pet squirrel needing a bottle was the funniest!
Excellent video especially since I wrote in the way back of one of those when I was a kid no seatbelts required! When I tell my grandkids that there were no seatbelts and that everybody smoked everywhere they look at me like I have three heads! I think I’m gonna watch some more of your videos thank you
Definitely a cool wagon! First time I've seen gm buckets in a mopar. Look like the seats from my dad's 67 lemans. Those glass fuel filters are huge fire hazards as well. The fuel pump should be mounted back by the fuel tank as well. Definitely a cool ol rig for sure!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love that you made friends with a squirrel. Also, mopars rule! Nice score.
Some epic shots , love the neighbourhood!
Long? Rambling? Give us more i say!!!!! Ill never tire of your work , the little deviations and VLOG as you put it stuffs , the animals , the J.Sugint , music and singing, real time TV can never be this good and we dont want anyone to know so they dont steal you!
Got my drivers license when I turned 16 in 1972. My first car was a ‘65 Sport Fury. My mom and dad bought it new and I bought it from them. Had it for two years and got a ‘70 Roadrunner. My sister got the Fury and in a year it was gone. Fast forward to last year. I was going through my dads work bench. He passed 12 years ago and this was the first time I’d looked through his bench and tool box. I was feeling around at a shelf that was over my head. I found the keys to the Fury. He placed them there for me to find. They’re on my key ring today. Thanks, dad!!
This guy is real good!,great engineer;,well spoken,I've had a great good time all the way from the beginning!.
After watching this video, your collection of tools and parts was MORE impressive than your repairs! Well done on both fronts in either case.
Love that front license plate had many of them back when gas was 99 cent a gallon . You didn't need a reason to drive around you just drove with no destination. The hooptie shagging wagon love it
@Hello Randy how are you doing?
Really enjoyed the video. Just a tip with the ignition key. As long as a key will fit the barrel you can just push and pull on the key very quickly so the wards dont have time to fall back down while turning it then it will at some point turn.
Funny that these mid 60’s (basically) family cars generate just amazing “view” numbers. I see it time and time again on other youtuber’s channels. They do a lot of very cool, informative, creative, instructive content and then one day in passing they post a video about 55 year old Impala/Fury/Catalina/Bel Air/Polara/LTD/etc and the view count for that video just explodes. I guess the people that were little kids back in those days are just connecting very strongly with these vehicles. They’d be a ~60 year old demographic now and are no doubt prone to getting emotional when seeing these vehicles. Noth’n wrong with that! Tks for posting the Fury!
Well, if you need a second car, those from the earlier years are far more dependable than the ones made now. And made from real American steel.
Did I hear you say Philly? That's my hometown! I cant believe someone is doing this amazing work there!
@Hello, how are you doing?
Hell yes ! I love the old Fury ! Thumbs up man !
Thanks man
Very nice Plymouth!
I really love station wagons, a big hug from Brasil.
When this car was made the main motor company in the U.K. was Leyland Motors. One of their cars would have been much easier to get home, you wouldn’t have needed a trailer. All you’d have to do is brush up all the piles of rust, bag it, stick it in your boot (trunk) and Bob's your uncle. It might be a bit more difficult to put back together again but you can’t have everything.
A fantastic video, thank you.
As an owner of an old Mopar wagon, sell it before anything rear of the driver's seat fails. Parts for the back half are unobtanium. Great content, though, and glad to see a "will it run" where someone does everything the right way!
That's when you start putting ford parts in it lol
@@AnthraxBird Oh no, sacrilege.
@@AnthraxBird chevy* them parts are dima dozen if u dont mind breakin em here n there
Not totally true. Quite often fuel tanks can be had in the aftermarket plus bumpers and taillights are the same as the 4 door car. OTOH, tailgates, rear quarters, glass, and trim parts are like hen's teeth.
@@rupe53 you've clearly never owned a Mopar wagon. No one makes tanks or sending units for them. I've been looking for years and ended up repairing the tank and sending unit in mine. There is absolutely nothing in the aftermarket for B-Body and C-body wagons. I'm in a few Mopar wagon groups and every time someone new pops in to ask about about where to buy tanks and sending units, everyone in the group has a good chuckle.
Congrats on the resurrection of the '65 Plymouth Fury! Definitely worth watching the entire video!
Thanks Charles!
The Fury got me watching, your ability hooked me. I’ve watched a number of your videos now. I enjoy your humor. You lady has the voice of an angel! Enjoy you adventures, and keep up the fantastic work!
My mom has a couple of these cars. This brings back memories. I would own that car in a heart beat
I am impressed by the level of detail you showed in your video. Very entertaining and informative.
That wagon is sick, keep it just the look it has. Man that is a cruising machine.
Always good to see old cars be brought back to life. Skills! Mad respect! :)
41:08 "The only part" = Hence why newer cars are redesigned to be parts dependent. Redesigned to be non serviceable, plastic parts to break by time (not use), sealed parts (to prevent repairs) etc.
These things can literally keep running with little to no parts over an indefinite number of years and little to no reliance on manufacturers due to little to no planned/engineered obsolescence, little to no legal blocking for 3rd party manufacturers to make replacement parts etc.
That wagon is slick! Shes deserves all the love it needs. I didn't know about the freeze plug installer tools until now. Lol 🤦♂️
A good mechanic. It's a pleasure to watch him work.
Congratulations. Really enjoyed.
Always been a gm guy but I love the 60s molars, and the wagons are awesome. Great work!
Fantastic mechanic !!
So fast snd confident and "Know How" in these old motors.
Congrats on passing 100,000 subs , soon you will be 500,000 and then 1 million and counting. The car is worth what somebody is willing to pay , start high and be open to reasonable offers. ;-) . I hope that you continue to make videos just the way that you do now , I will be here to watch all of them and it is always awesome to see Jen and Leon make an appearance. Thank you !
Thanks Richard took a long time to get to 100k. But yeah hopefully keep growing with it. I'll probably throw it up before like 6K or something and see what happens. Or maybe just do a part two on it. Who knows
Relocate the Holley red pump to the rear
Love the sound of the starter when a Mopar is starting!
Kinda cringed at first attempted start, not knowing the carb and timing settings and having your bare arm over the carb throat. Seen some mighty backfires in my time.
I can only imagine!
I have a 65 Fury 3 2 door hardtop with the 383 as well, it was my car in high school (in the late 90's) . Mine has a bad knock, I am waiting till I get a home with a shop so I can pull the motor.
Good to see a Fury in the wild, keep up the good work!
Great work. I'm a Mopar fan from way back in the 1960's. Currently own a '67 Sport Fury. Enjoyed watching it come back to life.
Love watching work done on old cars, just like the old days.
I am so happy when i see old cars run and will have a new life in the future!
I was sure would be a 318 Poly. Great score! Most wagons ended up in derbys or as West Coast surf-mobiles. Interesting ride fer sure.
My 65 has the 318 poly ... great motor
My 66 had the Poly. The guy I sold it to yanked it out and stuffed a 440 in there. I almost cried. The poly died a slow death out behind his garage in the mud
@@christopherjames3027 I have a 65 Fury 1..with the 318 poly/727....just a question..did the 440 fit Right in? All ways wondered if the poly shared the same bell housing as the Big Block's
@@christophersells9146 I’m not too sure about the installation. I sold the car to the guy that did the swap, so I’m not sure how straight forward it was to be honest. It just bugged me that he yanked out a perfectly good running 318 and trashed it. LOL.
Well done! 👍 It's nice to see how rare cars come to life! I would love to take on such a car myself, but we don't have anything like that in Russia, and with our laws it's simply unrealistic to bring such a car from the states to us !!!☹ I hope someday I still manage to visit America, and even better to work there on the restoration of classic American cars.
When I was a kid we had a 4-door 65 Fury III. Interestingly, it had the V-8 badge but a slant 6! I love this car!!
Always enjoy your vids bro! Shes cammed alright!! Sounds pretty rowdy. The interior cleaned up quite nicely with the pressure washer. Good thing that freeze plug was blown out because it put you on to all the garbage inside the block and the cooling system. I've seen water pumps do that often when the impeller is just free wheeling on the shaft. Usually it's the composite or plastic impeller ones it happens to commonly. Gotta love how cheap the parts are for these domestic cars. You should Por-15 the hell out of all the floor pans and such. Someone took some time to do some decent work and put some good parts on that thing. Nice to see you go through it and address all that stuff and resurrect it in general. I see a ton of potential in this baby, period. Was going to ask about Leo but you read my mind and showed him anyways. He is so F'N COOL!!! LOL I got a kick out of his 'nut storage.' LMFAO!!! Hes looking extremely healthy and awesome as ever with his little attitude and things that he does. What a character!!! Stay cool man, and keep up the kick ass videos bro!!! Thank you for sharing this!! 👍👍🤙😎
This just showed up in my feed, nice ride man! If you decide to put headers on that beast, i will gladly take the old cast manifolds off your hands, those look like the HP style, I could use them for my old Police car i am fixing up.
Old wagons get cooler every year!
In Canada, a Dodge was a rebadged Plymouth, on a Plymouth body with a Plymouth interior.
I love this car! Had a ‘66 Coronet myself and just adored it
I hear ya. I had a '68 Coronet as my first car. I LOVED that car and never should have sold it.
Those were the days, a full size wagon with buckets and a center console shifter!
Hell yea!
Haha, these are great wagons. Our family had the huge 426 4Bbl 4speed stick, came factory @365 Hp. Got a little over 10 gph, but gas was only .29 cents a gallon back then.
Gallon per hour?
Man, I love this car. I can't wait to see more on it; I'd love to own her, but I want to build a shop more. You always have great content. congratulations. on 100k man; you deserve way more. Then that!!! Also love seeing a mechanic do things vs the other channels that skip the steps that really are necessary!!
Yeah she's a real beaut ain't she. Hopefully going to get a title for it and then do more work in the future to get her roadworthy. And thanks man!
The car is f****n' sick. I can't believe that it sat for so long.
Very friggin cool. I would get my hands on a good Holley 4160 750 cfm for a mopar with correct linkage and it would be fun. Stay with a spread bore it works best for auto's. Might need a lighter spring for the secondaries. Make sure the choke is working properly and it will fire right up in the freezies.
Wow! What an AWESOME car! I love those old wagons and that one is very tastefully done.
I have never seen any one explain ,break down and rebuild better than you . I truly enjoyed the way you did it all. It was indeed a pleasure to see someone that does it the way you do explained in completion. Keep up the good work my brother. From what I have seen. No one does it better than you. And it was a pleasure to see. Rock and roll !
amazing, to see, some old schools, being brought back, to life, you're a great savor, keep grinding, picasso d.
Our family had a 66 Ford wagon, I think it had the 390 in it. My mothers daily driver back then. When you removed the back seat assembly that folds up/down it immediately reminded me of the Ford. Different manufacturer, same idea. The engine on yours sounds like it has an after market cam. Very neat. Fun video to watch.
44:00 Those Holley fuel pumps are happier pushing fuel rather than sucking it. Holley recommends having it mounted as close to the tank as possible. It's why it sounds so unhappy. I made the mistake of mounting mine under the hood, didn't last too long. Located it by the tank, never had another problem with it
@Hello Dave how are you doing?
Very Cool Old School Ride, and it's always awesome to see them put back on the road where they belong:)
The mopar 383 is a nice engine. It's not lacking in power even though many consider it to be the 440's little brother.....😎
That is a killer car, nice work getting it fixed up! I dream about finding such a cool car!
Love the wagon and older plymoths....you did a goo job and great work....you know your stuff 👍 keep up the good work, enjoyed the video
@Hello Raul how are you doing?
My first car was a 1965 Plymouth Fury 1 that same color. Plain jane, 383 4bbl with 3 on the tree. My uncle had rolled it and my grandfather jacked the top out and beat the quarter panels and fenders straight-ish. Replaced the windshield and she was ready to roll. Man what a car... thing would absolutely smoke the tires. Well tire anyway.
That style of V8 emblem on the fender was used for “A” series engines such as the old style poly spherical cylinder head 318. That would have the distributor in the back. A “Comando V8” emblem was used on “B” series engines. Most likely your wagon has had a heart transplant. Look at the block stamp on the left side of the distributor. That will tell you more.
@Hello John how are you doing?
