Never claimed to be a "Chevy" guy. But at least a moron like me can spell. And we got it to run. That's the point of the video and why you came here. So thanks for watching!
The wagon was usually the utility farm vehicle not very many vans and i say that because most farmers either had to use the family farm truck or car for almost everything alot of them couldn't afford to buy a new vehicle only used to haul the family around and only to drive to work.... And to be honest it the mid 70's station wagons and the newer ones i don't care for..
My family growing up my dad and momma had 2 suburbans a 75 Chevy c10 Silverado, and a 86 GMC c25 Sierra Classic, and the 72 1210 ih travelall... Up until i was older and then it was the 87 Ford f350 crew cab long bed dually 6.9 litre 420 cubic inch idi international diesel, centurion conversion, and the current version my momma has a 96 Ford f250 super cab long bed 460bbf hd truck originally a 7.3 truck...
On a more serious note , I had two Plymouths , A 54 no name flat six that was indestructible , the things I did to that car , I'm ashamed of . A 66 savoy , green and white flat six that was like brand new , I paid $25. oo for it and drove it into the ground . Both cars owed me nothing and lasted longer than they should . Oh the days of wine and roses ( NOT ) . That station wagon will make somebody a believer in the days when things cost a whole lot less and were built to last forever . Thanks for the memories , I'm going to be eighty next year , Ive seen a few things , more to come in future episodes , Stuart in Canada ..
Yeah l know how you feel l love the old school cars if you just rake care and rinse them off in the winter keep that salt off and change out the oil and keep her grease up your good
Hey.! My Mortske, my uncle is had 55 like that the first car I ever drov, and the second thing is I served in Air Force, and we had a Plymouth plaza! 10 years ago I probably would’ve went after that car and completely restored it but, I am over that! I’ll watch you because you do this stuff I used do ! Keep put up with your long episodes and enjoy them! Also in the Air Force I had a 1961 Impala SS ( yes a SS), candy apple red on wjhite! Been to Oakes many times, my wife had relatives there!
Glad the second channel is back. Only thing better would be a third channel. :D The Plaza is an odd duck, can't say I love it, can't say I hate it. You the man MOJO!!
people complaining about the long videos Im the kind of person that when idling needs to hear a voice of some kind Hearing the metallic bangs of a hammer and the hissing of a torch and the purr of an engine really helps especially when theres 1-2 hours of it its just perfection
What’s up with all the 30’s and 40’s rides ??? Can we see those ??? You da man for gettin that started son.. duff lookin sharper then razor on a gasket !!! 💯💯💯
The Duff Dog is looking Great! That’s all thanks to you, Mort. Imagine taking a Tesla out of the woods 50 years from now and trying to get it to run. Watching you tending Detroit Iron and stream of consciousness with Duff Dog is the best thing on the internet. Appreciate the hard work. We know the feeling of every cut, nick, ding, abrasion, workload hassles, client and vendor time, bookkeeping, spills and cleanup, putting on the boots in the morning, not knowing what day it is because it’s all work all the time when you’re solo, running an industrial shop…and still maintaining the Mortske Flick of humor. In any B-17 Group you’d be the go to engineer; top turret in the Memphis Belle. Love The Duff!
No thanks that would be about as much fun as trying to get my 2000 second gen dodge ram quad cab long bed 1500 4x4 318 magnum V8 running after it sat 50 years id pass on trying that or the Tesla lol..
I love these old L head 6"s You can still buy every part for these engines . Even HP parts such as cams, heads, double and triple carb intakes. split headers to make them a true duel exhaust etc. They are fun and simple to build."You should give this one a try" .
This would make a terrific addition to any military vehicle collection. Yes, it needs work. But it's all there, you know what it needs and you saved it from further decay and the crusher. Thanks for sharing. Yes, it is worth the effort. Press on!!
@@sittinandthinkin I'd be happy to daily this thing tbph. I'm in no position to buy it nor fix it up, but if I was, I would, and it would become my everyday car. It'd be boss for toting my RC airplanes around and it has my preferred classic car driveline besides. I wouldnt change much of anything! Throw aircon and an fm radio at it, maybe some front disc brakes, and let it riiiiiiide
We appreciate your efforts Mort! They will never be in vain! SALUTING YOU....AND MOJO....AND CHIN! 🫡🫡🫡 AND DUFF, even though he doesn't have thumbs. Good job!!!
I dig an old car like this......I hope someone can put it back on the road someday.....Duff looks great with a haircut.....wishing you both are well....
Turn Up The Base ! Love the old Armed Forces base models. Duff looks great with his spring grooming. Have a great week Mortske ! 👊😎👍p.s. Mortske, you metioned "Easy Access Thumbscrews" I'll bet the girls you go with have those too ! 🤭👍
Amazing job getting the valves unstuck without any damage. Since we all like to criticize you should have drained the water out of the add-on filter. Lol. A really cool car that I hope somebody finishes up. Would like to see it at Des Moines good guys in a few years.
Big kudos to you for your extra effort in getting this old wagon's engine running... heck, I'm giving you extra credit for cleaning out 50 years of turds and seat stuffing! The only thing missing was a clip of Puddin dancing with his pressure washer! Tell Mojo that his number one fan (in Alabama, at least) sends his regards, and pat Duff for me!
Haven't seen one those Ply wagons in 50 + years. Great job getting it running. When those MOPAR flatheads would come in they'd be pretty far gone and we'd pop in a replacement from the rebuilder and send back a core.
The Air Force Plaza Plymouth, this is just one of those sweet puppy dog eyes and ears cars for me. Yo just look at it and fall in love with the darn thang. Toss some new floors on it and run the buffer over the paint and you’ve got a nice patina cruiser here. Toss in a newer 275-300 hp v6 with a 5 or 6 speed and you’ve got a cool car here. Everyone always goes v8 but the plaza stripper needs to keep it six. This car is light enough that you get plenty of scat with a smaller motor. The steering linkage is one of the more unusual one I have seen. The trunnion bushing front end doesn’t bother me as it was a common design in this period. Ball joint was the new up and coming technology of the time.
Canadian law is the reason for the Acadian Pontiac being a rebranding Chevy Nova. If the car was made in Canada and sold in Canada it had to be rebranded from the cars to be sold in the US.
I just pulled the intake/exhaust manifold on my '49 Plymouth, so I feel your pain! On the positive side, it's a lot more entertaining watching someone else do it😅!!! Thanks for your hard work!
Good morning from Cape Cod 🦈 man do you want through hell to get that running, but you prevailed and didn't break off a valve 😉 I noticed the starter didn't give you any issues. It was good of you to bring us a reenactment after you lost footage. 👍Duff is looking handsome with his spring haircut 💈 thanks for putting in the extra effort Mortske ✌️🇺🇲
Talk about an oldie! Course I was 5 years old when it was new. So what’s that make me. Older than that Plymouth that’s what! Hey, great job gettin her running again, pretty smooth too! Maybe the Duff and the rest of us will get a ride in the next one. Not to worry I wouldn’t want to sit on those old rusty springs either! Thanks for a great video!
I watch every episode you put out. Duff is a great dog and thanks for rescuing him. I get a kick out of mojo,you should try to get him in more videos you try to get him in more videos. He is a hoot. Keep up the good work.
I had one of those infamous six cylinders in a Cranbrook. I pulled into the driveway after school, and the chassis rail under the driver's seat let go. So much for this 15-dollar car, Junkyards at the time were charging for towing away scrap. So, I put a cup of dry lapping compound down the oil filler, started the engine, put a brick on the gas pedal, and went in the house, changed my clothes, came out, took care of my dog, gave him his weekly bath, and played catch with him for a while. The engine ran until it ran out of gas it never did blow up.
Another great episode! I really like the off-brand and less popular cars. BTW, the plug and hole in the head is for measuring the piston height to find TCD with a piece of wire. I had an industrial 230 in an old Yale forklift. The hole was useful for double checking the timing chain (finding the industrial version was difficult and I needed to double check that it was correct).
I think this is my favorite Mortske car of 2024. It would make a magnificent dog wagon. Base model with less trim and accessories is less stuff to find at a swap meet. Definitely needs a brake upgrade. I'd pull the body off the frame to do the floor and swap the powertrain. Maybe a 300 inline Ford or a 4200 Vortec. I actually like the color so I might skip fixing body damage.
@@Awsom47Merc That would be quite the sleeper but after all the reinforcement there wouldn't much of the original frame left. One of those 392 hemis could get it moving pretty good and still have that bare bones look to it with the right accoutrements.
@@c0c0asauce Very true. We just won't let anyone look underneath ! 🤭👍 That first gen 392 is Way heavy. I've got a first gen in my truck and it tips the scales at almost 1000 lbs ! 😳
@@Awsom47Merc Oh holy crap, I would have figured it would be fairly light. I have a 1UZFE swap in my 95 Nissan pickup and that motor only makes about 250hp but it weighs 250lbs. Actually makes a truck with manual steering easier to drive than with the iron block 4 cylinder.
@@c0c0asauce No the 1st gen hemis are crazy heavy and they don't have normal motor mounts (on sides of engine) they have a large bracket that mounts under the water pump in front of engine and a crossmember under the bellhousing.
Too cool! Back in the day my big brother had a 55 Plymouth! That car had a lot of low end grunt & my bro pulled a lot of cars out of ditches & snowbanks. We’re talking upper Michigan averaging 300 plus inches of snow! Would be cool to see an early hemi from hot heads with a 4 speed & positrack rear. All I can afford to do is dream about hot rods & watch you give these old rods new life! Keep on having fun rebuilding these old hoop ties & I’ll have fun watching you build.
16:53 I test drove a 1954 Plymouth Savoy 4-door with this powertrain in it and it was a dreamboat. Whisper quiet engine, smooth and decisive shifting, gobs of torque. Was a joy to drive and was the vehicle that cemented my desire for a 3-on-the-Tree as my next daily. That car's still available, too, 10k in a turn key driver's condition. A steal, really, but because it's a bone stock 4-door from 1954 nobody really wants it but me.
Great start up on the flat 6, but on the quick change housing, could you get a flat surface machined for a bearing holder then match drill the mounting holes life putting 4 bolt main caps on a 2 bolt block. To restore the quick change housing???? Hate to see it like that. Good Video Thanks, D
Thanks Mortske. Great show. Great deal on the old Plymouth. I see so much around that shop it's crazy. What could be next? Also thanks for the teaching that you do. Mortske minutes are great. Keep on keeping on.
The old flat-head 6 did not rev too high, go too fast, or get too far between Valve grinds, but, take reasonable care of them, and they will run indefinitely. KISS principle of Engines.. (Keep It Simple, Simon....)

One good thing about the "Older" engines and engine compartments, is you don't have to spend half a day removing crap just to see the engine.
Absolutely!
No shit 😡
Duff soooo Majestic lying in the sun with his new doo and working on his tan!!!!😅😅😅

You and your crew are some of the most entertaining youtubers. Your interest and talents are obvious. Keep doing what you love.

What is so cool they still make replacement floor pans for this wagon and it would be an awesome 12 valve swap

Persistence paid off, on successfully unsticking those valves, excellent video!
Nice job mortske usually the only Plymouth I like is a 1937 Plymouth truck but I'm definitely a fan of this 1955 Plymouth plaza
i like old wagons. duff dog is great helper. i miss the intro show driving in circles then starting a engine flames shooting out.😂
Awesome wagon!!
Dang, Duff even put the hood prop in for you this time. Such a good boy.
Right!
When I was a young child my mom had a 55 Plymouth Plaza. Her car was pretty loaded with V8 automatic and an am radio it was red and white.

But if you do, make sure the camera is rolling! 🤣
King Mortske!. Valve Snapper Extraordinaire! You Rock buddy🤣🤣🤣
Great job.. I am shocked that wagon has 108k considering its history. And I agree - 318 driveline would be great in that car. Great price as always 👌

Great start up on the flat 6, but on the quick change housing, could you get a flat surface machined for a bearing holder then match drill the mounting holes life putting 4 bolt main caps on a 2 bolt block. To restore the quick change housing???? Hate to see it like that. Good Video Thanks, D
I love old wagons they’re so cool
Thanks Mortske. Great show. Great deal on the old Plymouth. I see so much around that shop it's crazy. What could be next? Also thanks for the teaching that you do. Mortske minutes are great. Keep on keeping on.
Our pleasure!
Impressive job on getting that engine running!!
Thank you!
love the puddin ghost appearance under the lift 😆
Another great video 👍👍
Mortske Monday ohhh yeah
The old flat-head 6 did not rev too high, go too fast, or get too far between Valve grinds, but, take reasonable care of them, and they will run indefinitely. KISS principle of Engines.. (Keep It Simple, Simon....)
Da Duff dog looking handsome
Thanks for the video Guys!
The grills of the 50s were just GOOD
great time for automobile design!
