I saw this 1970 Plymouth Satellite 4 door for sale on marketplace. It was advertised as running and driving, but we quickly figured out it was in need of quite a bit more. Can we make it run and drive 250 miles home? Stick around to the end of the video to find out!

This thing is SO cool!
Thanks Tony!
Awe, TA, nice to see you brother. 😊
Tony and Dylan, two of my favourite guys!
"Blowby and Sadness". That's a bumper sticker you need on all of these saved rigs!
Sounds like a C and W song.
You need to do an episode on rebuilding that slant six. Clifford performance makes everything you’d need. Put that six in a small barracuda or even a small ford.
The Leaning Tower of (very little) Power! That 4 door has upwards of 7 good parts. Glass, a couple of doors, maybe front fenders... You could make 3 or 4 cars with that one!
I can personally recommend the black pepper trick for a slow leak in a radiator. Just sprinkle a bit in and the grains find the holes and clog it up, it has worked for me for multiple cars
I had a 1973 Plymouth Satellite that I paid $100 for in 1996. It was a great car with tons of power, and super smooth.
A 73 Satellite for 100 bucks. Damn! I'm an old-school Mopar head/geek/nerd, and I say, again, DAMN!
@@user-mm7xr8if1u I left it abandoned on the road in 1996, too. OUCH. Now I look back, it probably just needed a battery.
Just bought a 73 satellite lol
Wow 100$ what a bargain.
Contrary to popular opinion I love the old four doors!
Me too.
Idk why so many people are so fanatical about the number of doors, over condition or cool factor. It's not like they're making these cars anymore, why do people continually die on such a trivial hill
Heck yeah, the LAPD had some badass '68-'70 Belvedere sedans that were like 4 door RoadRunners. This car done like one of those slick top with the black and white livery would be slick. I like an A,B or C body Mopar sedan anymore if you manage to find a clean one it's something special.
Four doors are for people who have friends!
Back in those days, even the 4 door cars looked good. This one is beyond restoring due to the cost versus value, but it's still a coll car.
Saying a lot about how tough those 225 engines were. My cousin was broke needed a car and bought an old dart 4 door from a neighbor. Drove it to work for 9 years, and was still running at 155,000 miles. never need more than plugs points and a ballast resistor.
Thanks for taking us along, Dylan! Quite the adventure! Glad you two made it safely back home.
Milky oil can sometimes be the crankcase breather on the valve cover, or the PCV valve, I would check those first and do a compression check before concluding a definite head gasket. Great find Dylan, can't wait to see the progress on this one. It will be an excellent donor. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Dylan I love your content I watch every video you upload. I have learned so much from watching you . Keep up the hood in reviving these classic cars . Much love , Dalton
Put a little bit of the thick oil treatment in first then put some oil in the little bottle and shake it up to mix and thin and then it will pour better
(35:49)"...it's more like blow by and sadness." 🤣
Last spring we took two road trips south! From Buffalo to Charlotte and back in March, Buffalo to Mammoth cave, to Sgt. York’s homestead on the way to Pigeon Forge, through Gettysburg and back home! You are correct! Beautiful country!
I like your positive attitude. And the fact that you are a Christian. I truly appreciate that you don’t use any foul language.
Oh my, you are spoiling us. First 4 door Coronet, now 4 door Plymouth 😍
Always sad to see a 4 door going to parted, but I understand it is going to save others. Damn, if you lived closer, I'd need some parts of it too...
Should. Be a wagon
Did y'all forget his 4 Dr polara and Monaco
Thanks for taking us along, Dylan!))))
"She drove a Plymouth Satellite
Oh, faster than the speed of light" ~ B52s, "Planet Claire"
I'm guessing it wasn't that one she was driving.
You do know JC was a Jewish rabbi right?
@@alwynemcintyre2184 Can you shed some illumination on just how your statement is even remotely relevant?
@@Martin.Wilson hey he brought up Jesus and I just asked a question
Maaan, this adventure seriously tugged at my heartstrings... nearly to the point of tears. My very first car was a 4-door '70 Belvedere, tan outside, blue interior. Looked just like that one, only zero rust (ex LAPD cruiser).
Mine never lacked for power, had the 318 Interceptor. One impromptu stoplight dragrace, that car blew the doors off a '76 Z28 with a 350.
Sadly, that "dodo" of an engine kept me from being able to Smog it, and the State of Commiefornia eventually impounded it... "STOLE" it from me, far as I'm concerned.🤨
I'll miss that car til my dying day. 😔
Here's a useless fact for y'all - Jimi Hendrix was stationed at Fort Campbell. He was a paratrooper. Broke his ankle on a jump, then got discharged. Then started playing guitar on "the chitlin' circuit", with Little Richard and the Isley Brothers, and the rest, as they say, is history.
I've known that since I picked up STRATOCASTEREY 34yrs ago 👍
I’ll add to this. Jimi Hendrix played his guitar upside down because he was left-handed and couldn't find a left-handed guitar. He refused to learn with his right hand and instead innovated by using a regular right-handed guitar and flipping it over
Drugs kill
Yes sir! I was about to post that myself. The Master...
101 Airborne. Screaming Eagles
The Hills of KY are full of those cars, all makes,,, you just have to keep your eyes open, I picked up a 1964 Falcon , years ago for 900 bucks, and drove it home to Nashville,, even got a couple of awards with it,,.
I don't mind four doors. Reminds me of the charger with that front end.
Well, at least with an old school OHV engine it's really easy to replace the valve stem seals...but for some reason I'm expecting that to be in conjunction with worn out piston rings...
Thanks for mentioning what Good Friday is all about.
The videos of Thunderhead 289 & “Junkyard Digs” Kevin getting that Satellite running way back when is still my all-time favorite! Nice to see that the car will get some much needed TLC! Thanks for taking the time & trouble to bring another Satellite home for parts!
There aren’t a ton of Mopars that do it for me, but I do like the crew cab satellites. Thanks for more great content Dylan!
Thank you Dylan for saying that about Jesus Christ that is wonderful
Yeah, why not.
That "parquet" in the trunk is remarkable, a true work of art.
Great video! I was born at Ft Campbell, in the 70’s my dad was a paratrooper.
😂 its soo weird seeing you drive through Clarksville. It just tripped me out seeing the exact roads i drive almost everyday. Ya i can stand the city either we live up in erin. Sweet car man! Live them four doors!
I lived in Clarksville for 8 years on and off, now I'm down south of Columbia, it almost made me miss Clarksville seeing it in the video, I almost moved back 5 years to Clarksville but after seeing how much has changed compared to how it was between '97-'08, I was really turned off and looked for an area with less people and less problems.
X 101 st Airborne 🇺🇸 great place . Thank you for the drive by there.💪💯
Awesome I had a 70 Belvedere bought from my grandparents for my first car!! Loved it
It was wooden?
You n me both. 👍🏼
I come from a Chevy family, but the first car I bought was a low-mile, perfect condition '70 Belvedere 4-dr, for $300.
I'll never forget that car.
Awesome ! I love the old McCool quirky mopars .
You got a good set of General Lee rims for a charger or a late model hot rod
Seeing as it has the same rims as the General Lee, it definitely deserves a second chance at life with a V-8 engine whether it’s a 318, 360, 383, or 440. It definitely looks like it should have a V-8 instead of the slant six that it has. I found it kind of funny and comical that the rotted floor and trunk floor of the car were replaced with wood. I’m also relieved that you got home in one piece. I’m really looking forward to the project that this car becomes.
Awesome ride slant 6 is hard to beat
god bless Dylan
Put a 383 in and make it a 4 door road runner
That front seat looks G M to me
Or a 400 and an A833 OD,🤤
This kind of trip is a right of passage for UA-cam of your ilk! I have definitely done a road trip like this! Both buying a vehicle and/or helping a friend in need! 🍺🍻😎
Thanks Dylan. A trying video. Know you going to get the other Plymouth’s going. Not bad for driving a parts car home. Thanks for sharing!
💯👍👊
Great drive, look forward to seeing the other projects
Thank you for a wonderful video, I agree about the Friday. All the best to you and your family.
Pheeew!! Someone that doesn't curse & swear...thank God! You won me I'm a subscriber ❤🙏🏽
Great video,love those old Plymouths and Dodges,i have driven on those roads around Ft Campbell and Clarksville, I live in Crofton Ky just north of there,those roads are a nightmare in a good car let alone a beater,nice work
1970 road Runner ,gtx ,satellite. The best looking car ever made
When i was at the technological collegiate learning motor vehicle mechanical repair or mvmr they haf a fleet of dodge pickups 225 slant six with standart 3 in the tree.
I really like the 70 model. I've had a 71 and my 72 for 23 years now. Glad to see 2 are being saved!!!
So glad to see that blue satellite finally came home with you. That was the first car I ever saw you work on and what introduced me to your channel.
A 4 door 70 Satellite? Nice! A Roadrunner candidate for sure!
Glad you made it home OK! It would be interesting to learn what issues the engine has, but probably not worth the time to investigate. Have fun!
glad you wee able to get your parts car and yourself home safe and sound! thanks for the adventure
Good to see the one saving the two others 😀 Thanks for another great video
Hey Dylan another great video to watch thanks
Cool Mr McCool…!!!
I had a very similar ’70 Plymouth Fury 4dr 225/6.
Not quite as deluxe as the Satellite.
Your basic taxi cab model that could barely get out of it’s own way…1 or 5 people didn’t make any difference tho…😂
Bought it for $300.
I drove the crap out of that thing one winter…!
Sold it for $350.
Thanks for another entertaining video with an old MOPAR…!!!
Every time someone has told me "sure it can make it home" it never did.

As somebody building a 70 satellite right now, thrilled for the upcoming satellite content
Good Evening Sir , I hope you are doing well and having a fantastic weekend ! 😊
Dylan, may I make a suggestion ? I know they are not cheap, but if you get a chance, I would suggest that you purchase a trailer to hook up to the truck that you can load these cars you buy and tow them home where you can work on them without worrying about whether or not you'll make it home.
My brothers were stationed at Ft Campbell its nice love the museum. My cousin was stationed there when they lost a lot of its members during the war on Terrorism
Glad u made it back home safely, definitely a great parts car Dylan!
Man I was just watching that video again of the blue satellite and wondering what ever happened to it. So happy to see you have it
Well, you have more nerve than I would have driving that sad little Plymouth 250 miles! I would have been a little apprehensive driving it across the street, let alone 250 miles!!!!! Well done!!!
You should have put an oil Fowler on the end of that plug.
And the plug won't file out
It had one but still kept fouling. It had since been removed.
Hi Dylan and guest nice junk car and video 📹 and workmanship!!! Junk yard dig is good I watch that black car come to life the blue one I like !!! 👍
Great road trip Dylan. Really enjoyed this one. Dont be so hard on the 4 doors. Theyre cool too bro. Welldone. another cool car saved for now....
Awesome vids, I have been watching you since the Challenger series. Keep going, I'm from Europe
wow, 250 miles and u arrived safe and sound, what a car! great video there, couldn't wait for u to work on the black satellite and the blue one man. cheers!
You’ve got some gorgeous roads out there Dylan 👌🏻
Lost a dear friend and former bro in law who was stationed at ft Campbell (101st Airborne) to diabetes/kidney failure. rip Dewey. He was a mopar guy too. Had a 73 Duster 340 -4 spd. Red w white stripe. man we had fun with that one. Also i think you were getting some fumes in there. Your eyes were glassy as heck.
Man, dylan ridin' through my neck of the woods. Was actually at that amish market in charlotte like a week ago. Love your stuff man!
Ironically, the day this came out the shirt of the Satellite Kevin gave you I bought finally came and now I’m pretty happy with my purchase
It’s sad the shape of the 4 door but you’re right it will give you parts that you need.
I love the 4door B body mopar.
3:49 his got an Australian made PPV as well!
Great content as always Dylan.
Cheers Pat 🇦🇺
This car came from Dawson Springs Ky! You were in my neck of the woods!
Those 6 cylinder engines must be tough. Good parts to help with other projects. Good going Dylan.
Good afternoon from Cape Cod ⚓ congratulations on making the trip in a sort of running stopping vehicle 😉 now that you explain why you have the car I'm on board. Keep up the great work guys 👍✌️🇺🇲
Glad you made it👍🙏
Another awsome adventure. Cool old 70. Name it Snoopy 😊
Cool road trip :) Being from Denmark, I have a hard time getting the 2-door/4-door thing. To me, any old American car would make a great project! Obviously, when you have a dozen cars and limited time, you'd prioritize the coolest ones, but I'd be just as happy tinkering on a 4-door or wagon!
I grew up with small 1-2 liter Japanese and European cars (not that I did much fixing), and we have very strict laws about the condition of body, brakes, electrics ect. Basically, you'd get fined out of your breeches for doing what you did here :)
But I enjoy seeing these old machines being brought back, and if I come into money (unlikely!), I'd come over there and try my hand at a revival. -One can dream...
Keep doing what you're doing, I'll keep watching!
good job getting her home.....look forward to more on the others....
Awesome I'm glad you are going to use that 4 door to fix up the nice 2 door cars
For me Good Friday is just a free day off of work/school :))
While you made one of your auto store visits you should hvave bought a non fowler adapter plug for the bad cylinder. They work surpriseingly well. Keep up the videos !
Love the video Dylan, you were in my neck of the woods by that Pilot wish I could have ran into you guys.
The egg trick works really good, but you have to make sure you dont put the cap on all the way in order for it to work on a long drive home. Evaporated milk also works really good.
Looks like Briar is wearing proper footwear. I wear them all the time. Easy on and off and comfortable another great one Dylan
I did the pepper in the radiator on my 85" Chey K5 blazer years ago and it worked great.
Nice Plymouth good show ❤Plymouth 😃👏👏👏👍👍👍
Excellent video as usual.
I tried the egg trick once but it didn't work. I didn't realise that I should have used a raw egg, not a boiled egg. 😢
Nice car! i like all those 68-70 b bodies~ wish i had one!
Great find. Look forward to seeing what you can do with it! Perhaps some aluminum gutter mesh and short strand for the rust holes. Oh wait... wrong channel! Still an awesome car!
No kidding, we would do it the right way.
@@DylanMcCoolVideo Bear in mind, I was not making fun of said other channel. I enjoy them as well, but two different directions for two different channels. There's a place for tractor paint and short strand for some vehicles.
I've driven by that Orielly's at least a hundred times.
You've made me happy Dylan I watched the whole and this is a car that deserves to be back on the road
Can't wait for part 2 of this car.
Watching from the UK, another great adventure.
You have some very cool classic Mopar sedans. I have the same car and a Coronet sedan like the one in your other videos, make great drivers and I enjoy them a lot.
Can't wait to see these beautiful cars get transformed.
