Yet, leaving them all out in that field, whether they run or not and only getting one going occasionally to me is no different than letting them rot. They're still all outdoors in the elements year round. Only difference is it's a cleaner junkyard. Like that old white dodge truck he got roadworthy a year or two ago. Does he still drive it or does it just sit outside and be pretty much a lawn ornament to mow around? A lot of these channels say they're saving a car, but they aren't, they're basically just moving them from one spot where they've sat for years to another spot they'll sit in for years.

I also like the RESTORED channel, but a week or two ago I commented that seeing the channel name, how many cars had they went on to RESTORE as I've never seen them actually restore anything, just drag it out of the woods and see if they can make it run long enough to park it a block away.

My father had a 1964 Dodge Polara with a 318 cu in V-8 with a push button 3 speed automatic transmission. Loved that car. These were the cars that he would have worked on in his youth. Started as an apprentice in 1948 till 1961 then taught auto mechanics till 1989. He passed on July 13th, 2022. Miss him. Ciao, Pops.🇨🇦🇺🇸
I’m not opposed to the 318 at all, they were a great small block and in my opinion one of the most underrated motors. They were nothing spectacular but enough power to get in trouble and really didn’t have a lot of problems like a lot of the more popular engines. They sound very nice with some 3” exhaust and a couple cherry bombs 👍
Enough power to get in trouble is exactly what you don't want. If you can't outrun the cops, in helicopters, then there's no reason to be able to top 70mph; and the flathead 6, with mediocre ring seating is plenty to do that. Everything has to be fast with him. The priority should be to turn out simple transportation as quickly and cheaply as possible, preferably without damaging collector value too much, so throw rings in the flathead 6, seals in the trans, and put it back, then make it street legal, fix the heat, and flip it. Then for the Satellite, the underside need not be pretty, just strong enough; so get under it with a welder and a selection of scrap metal and weld it in enough to hold everything together, spray wax it to prevent repeat rust, and off it goes.
@@alan6832 you sound dodgy as shit!! I fully stand by what Dylan is doing here and at the end of the day your, and my, opinions count for nothing, his cars, his choices to make.
@@alan6832 collector value doesn’t really apply to everything that is old, I guarantee nobody is out there looking for that car with a 6 cylinder specifically. Dylan is about mixing and matching and making something out of nothing that’s got enough power to make noise and burn tires. It’s not like he’s pulling apart numbers matching big block mopars that are actually worth something. Dylan has a lot of rough looking cars so if he says the underside of that satellite is unfixable then I believe him 👍
@ Minnesota Tomcat The question isn't whether or not the rust damage is fixable... it's whether or not it's worth it to HIM to fix the damage. From what I remember seeing in previous video footage, the damage was bad but it wasn't THAT bad. If someone with the talent chose to, the Satellite could be restored. Would it be worth it from a standpoint of financial gain? Maybe, maybe not... but I doubt it would be to the average guy. Of course, the average guy wouldn't possess the tools nor the talent to complete the job so it's a moot point when talking about the financial side of things. IMHO, what needs an answer right now is what is the car worth at large to anyone other than Dylan? I ask this question for one reason. Is anyone out there willing to take on the project with the intent of keeping the Satellite original as can be done? What are they willing to pay for it as it sits? I call to attention these things because I believe the smart play, and the best play, is to keep surviving numbers matching vehicles as they are for preservation. Why? Because every time one is changed, there is one less original example out there to see and enjoy. It isn't like you can just replace them and heaven knows the odds are we'll never build cars the way they did in the past again as sad as that may be. My logical conclusion is to save what can be saved. It's also often easy to get the same vehicle that's already been modified... and proceed to make the changes that you wish to make on it instead of using the survivors. Yes, the Satellite is owned by Dylan and he can do what he wants but I will still urge everyone to consider the possibilities and look at the big picture before moving forward.

I love you restoration guys and happily watch all of your videos. I was young once so I understand youthful enthusiasm but i really wish you young ones would wear masks when you are supposed to. Whether it's painting or rust removal or cleaning out an old 58 Plymouth please just take the time and throw on a stupid mask. Why wear gloves to protect your hands if you dont wear a mask and eye gear. You all wont be young forever and lungs and eyes are more important than you may now think. Cheers from Maine!
The Poly 318 was the main V8 for 1958 with the optional 350 Golden Commando as the upgrade, so technically it is correct for the car too, also from what I've read a 727 automatic transmissions can be made to work with the push button shifter if your going that route.
That 318 was the early A series, or the “poly” engine. Very similar block, but was phased out by the time the LA was widely used. Still should fit in just like the factory engine though.
@@DylanMcCoolVideo My Dad had one, a four door with the V8 and push button auto, thing was a rocket until it blew up...young mechanic thought it was a Hemi. Now I know that it was a Poly
@@DylanMcCoolVideo I didn't know they phased out the poly i thought all the 318s were the same "the more you know", Ya going to put dual quads on it like Christine had?
LOL...you can't school Dylan on Mopars. I was going to say there was more than one 318, but I didn't have too. Not even sure the year they changed. '66?
That's a great idea swapping those engines around, if you didn't save those cars they would be in a junkyard. Also its just plain practical to use a good running engine that you already have.
You know a lot of Mopar folks have fragile egos, but i for one am happy to see some forward progress on the ol car after so long from Kevin's channel. Can't wait to see what you're gonna do with it, I recall seeing you made a certain spoiler shape with your hands a couple times... and happy to see Christine get a much needed engine swap too.
For sure the 58 with the 318 will be a great build. The time and money will be well worth the effort. The 318s were good engines and over performed if built just right. Pulley combinations, valve spring shims, carb jets, torque converter change out and etc. will make a 318 quick. Best of luck to you. I raced several 318 engines back in the early to late sixties. I loved to work on them. I always ran the engine temp hot and painted the block black .
Dylan now has my second favorite Plymouth content on the UA-cams just behind ColdWarMotors. ;) Looking forward to what happens with both of these cars!
In 1962 The most expensive cars from Chrysler did not have a park lever but the cheapest model did. The New Yorker Wagon did not have it but the Valiant did.
Great car, great save! We love working on the 58 Plymouths. We have a few in our shop we're working on as well. Looking forward to watching the progress. If you need 57/58 Plymouth parts you can find some of our parts cars on our channel. 👍
Cool video !! I can't wait to the 58 Plymouth and the 70 Plymouth back on the road . I got a 68 Plymouth Satellite 383 as soon as i get the time and money i need to get back to work on it.

@@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 that 318 is not that far away from the flathead. Those Motors put out almost 130 horse stock. Plus tons of torque. I know they made more power than my flathead V8
I think it would also be cool instead of putting a V8 in it Build up the Six like the old school Hot Rodders did back in the day because you can put a different intake and a 4 barrel on that Six and make decent power
@@danielventura8073 Yes, and let's not forget that everything is fixable, but at what cost xD, you could for sure refurbish the old flat six but it would just take a lot of money and time sadly.
In the cars day, that is what would have happened, Mod the old six, cam, carbs, free flows etc, ANY engine can be rebuilt regardless of how worn it is!!!!!
Americans thinks anything under 8 cyl as "small" lol when this car has a very big 6 cyl!! But make sense to V8 swap It for him, from the availability of parts for example V8 Is more common he can find very easily a simple configuation good for the car and for cheap
Excellent plan Dylan! I drove Plymouths with that old flat 6. That thing was past its due date in the late 1940's. I actually bought a new 1970 Satellite almost exactly like the rusty one you own. The 318 was a great engine for a daily driver. All the best.
Yes! She gets a 318! Woohoo! Glass packs and duals for sure! Also like that it's come from the Satellite and that the Satellite is going to live on with something more befitting its colour and stance. When I think of the 'rodder creed, you're right - there was a large amount of low budget mods that you did in order to make something go better. Finding another good engine, a replacement pair of bucket seats and console to replace an unwanted bench seat, using house carpet instead of paying for an expensive set of repros - these I have done myself over the years and saved my money for the likes of a decent exhaust system, a new carburettor, maybe even a decent sound system. The 1977 Mini I own nowadays has been done with this mentality also. You could also call it a shout toward recycling things that would otherwise sit and rot away! All the best for this project, Dylan. Looking forward to seeing progress on both cars as time goes by.
Dylan I think you're making the right choice with the 318 it's going to pull that old girl down the road decent, And like you said it's a roadstoration can't wait to see more. Keep it up and God bless
Dylan when you find an engine with really low compression put 90W gear oil in the cylinders and it will start right up if you have fire and run fine. When the engine warms up the rings will free up and be fine. I have done this in the passed and it worked perfectly.
Love the Roadsteration. Exactly what I'm doing with my 1970 VW Karmann Ghia. Everyone is asking about the body work. I just shake my head. They don't understand how much I have to do just to get it on the road.
Even if a rig is complete... there can be an enormous amount of time & energy expended to get it 100% functional and back on the road. And yeah, that only covers the basics - NOT body, paint, interior, etc. Been there, done that and got the T-shirt many times over. Aside from all else, it'll teach you to be patient! ⏳😴 🇺🇸 - Max Giganteum
Hi from uk dylan 👋👍 cant wait to see Christine come back to life her time has come to stop being haunted let the oil consume you 👌😂 and yeah that burnout was epic on kevins trailer I think its first time I've seen someone get tapped out of a burnout for you to climb out caughing smoke for 5 mins lok great shout with v8 tho 👌 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
I like the message of using what you have as far as hotroding is concerned. A lot of us, including myself away from that. I guess that’s why my car has been sitting for a decade plus.
@@michaelbenardo5695 Also easier to find parts for the 58 over the 36 Except I'm getting too old to fix either one (I'm 74 years old) I don't think she will ever be on the road in my lifetime!
I am loving this whole "Roadstoration" concept - reminds me a lot of the whole Roadkill / Freiburger "Don't get it right, just get it running!" concept. I'm doing a roadstoration on my 70 big block Town & Country and my buddy's 75 Matador coupe just because they're cool and we want to drive them and maybe even bring them to Power Tour next year. Not show cars, not perfect, just fun drivers. Thanks again for all your content, efforts, and hope to see you on the road sometime! - Sabrina
Absolutely agree with you, the engine swap is necessary and another one can be replaced in the satellite. Been watching the channel for years and love the content, you are so lucky to have such cool pieces of automotive history.
My best junk yard engine was for my 86 300ZX, my original engine shot a rod right out of the block, and of course that means new engine required. The engine I found was in an 84 300ZX that had been rear ended, i was expecting to have trouble finding my engine and expected to have to find a new vg30 and parts swap, so already awesome to find a car with my same engine, what made it ever better is the engine was clean, i mean super clean, and freash paint on it, just a little bit of oil. If i had to guess that engine had been recently rebuilt, maybe had 500 miles on it, checked the water pump ect, it all was new looking inside. Was my favorite junk yard find, didn't expect a freash rebuilt engine from the junk yard, and i only paid $400 for it including all the accessories lol.
Reminds me of a swap I did years ago. Yanked a built 440 , full manual 727 and a posi out of a 68 Satellite and made it fit in a 57 Plymouth. That was a much tighter fit. I could write a book on that one.
I use 15W-40 Diesel oil on my Chrysler 361 Big block, same oil type applies on that 318, The diesel oil will have tremendous amounts of zinc compared to the conventional oils thats more for modern/fresh engines.
Hey Dylan.. One of my best friends are sheets of cardboard. Under the car, next to the car for placing leaking parts on. It saves a lot of clean up and floor staining. Junk plywood is cool to. Keep it up!!
I'd love to see that original motor get rebuilt/hopped up a little bit, just make it a nice cruiser, don't see near as many people keeping the straight 6's anymore!
As always great video Dylan, I think the 383 would have been a good volunteer for this car since they would have been readily available in junkyard cars in early sixties, those transmissions were very dangerous if you jack up the back of the car to change the tire with one wheel off the ground it could roll and fall off the jack. Would really like to find a car like this myself.
@@bigblockjalopy his goal was to find an engine that would have been bought cheap from a junkyard car in the '60s to revive the car and make a cheap hot rod and be somewhat period correct.
@@mrpurcountry Yes, I just posted that because you said the 383 came out in the early 60s. Both versions of the 383 (B&RB) came out late in 58 for the 59 model year.
I'm ok with the engine swap now that I know its worn out. It made me happy that you didn't immediately give up and take it out, are you gonna change out the steel wheels or can they clean up cause it wouldn't look right with Shiny Cragars in my opinion.
Just a question, how much are these in the US? (6 Cyls and v8’s) I’m thinking about importing one in a few years Also if it’s a push button or a on the column, does that change price much?
Generally speaking, the higher the trim package, the more expensive/desirable the car. If it has the funky gadgets most people didn't get/couldn't afford, it'll be a lot more money. Especially on rare cars. My mother took one look at this car and said "it's pretty common". I would imagine you could find one pretty easily stateside from forums or classic junkyards. Don't know if you want a project or a driver-ready one, but forums, junkyards and sometimes Facebook are the way to go for projects or leads. Join a vintage Plymouth group and you'll definitely find leads. Always look stateside first because the import cost will be more than you pay for the car, $3000-$10,000. Even modern junkyards might have some leads, because occasionally they get vintage/rare cars sold to them and they set them aside, either for themselves to fix or to sell as whole to someone who wants to restore it. 9/10 times the junkyard employee is a car enthusiast, so they should have good leads.
The rule of thumb I look for when I'm at the pick and pull, look for the one that's rear-ended when looking for engine/drivetrain parts. When looking for body/interior parts, go for the mint looking ones.
Dylan I am looking forward to this series of videos I think it is a great thing that you do save cars like this I am a classic car guy and these cars are getting rare to actually see still on the road. It seems days when cars were made the right way and not plastic and fiberglass are gone and it is a shame in my opinion Keep up the great work
I love 58 Plymouths, this is a great find Dylan even as is she looks beautiful, "I"M IN LOVE with this car, great find, and with the the 318 PURE GREATNESS!!! and she is in such great shape I can't believe it, she looks better then when Arnie found Christine! "OH" your stickers are sold out, just checked your store....."I NEED A McCool STICKER"!!!!
There's a goal for me. I have a 1968 Coronet 440 that was pulled out of a storage Shed it was is put in back in 1986. I found an 871 blown 440 that's just about ready to put in. After that I just need the cardboard list. I'll be at moparty September 16th through the 18th.
I say drop in the 318 and the 3speed into the 58 Plymouth and use the body for another cool 😎 project. Like you said you're using what you have on hand. I can't wait to see this 58 Plymouth come to life with a sweet power plant and a 3 speed
I have a cursed car at my patio. Is a 2012 Elantra 😮 that my daughter wrecked. Painted black, it looks scarier than Christine (more than $5,000 worth repairs). This creepier Hyundai will sit there until someone wants it or it will go to the scrap yard. (Do you want to trade it in for the road restored 1972 Chevelle?) Keep up the good work. Thanks.
In 62 I kelp losing my mains in my 51 cranbrook ply So I went to the wrecker (back then) found a Chrysler 260 six. It was nay 3 inches longer, no problem. I was taking auto tech in college so I bored it oversize , put a truck clutch behind it, Make sure to replace water displacement tube in block that runs behind the cyls to cool them It ran 60 in second gear. Mill the head 60 tho , I split the exhaust for duals, Chrysler actually made dual intake and exhaust but my friend wouldn’t part with his. Might be cheaper to just get a 318 from the local wrecker , clean the outside and tell everyone you worked it over And enjoy.
Hi there Dylan and all you watching this series come lately. I was and am fascinated by those jet/shark like fins on the two front fenders. As of yet Dylan, I haven't heard you bring up these two accent bits that to me are just so unique to the era. Just to be honest I've jumped around on this series quite alot so I may have missed you mention them but I wanted to bring forth my specific crush on how much I love such period adornments of the jet age design trim pieces that was added to cars of this era. And to be sure I love that you have such a CRUSH on this model year of a Plymouth due to a classic book/movie and that you for so long have wanted to own one. Dylan your fascination with this car makes your videos of this particular Roadsteration so much fun for us to watch as you get it ready for the MOPARTY 2022. Thanks for taking your subscribers along for the ride. One more thing I have to comment on is how you spoke about nearly tearing up when that young fella gave you that tiny model all painted up to match your Savoy, I can say here in the privacy of my home that I did tear up with a blubber in my throat. 😂

@@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 that 318 is not that far away from the flathead. Those Motors put out almost 130 horse stock. Plus tons of torque. I know they made more power than my flathead V8
Be nice to see it on the rd again.
Your positive attitude and energy are limitless. Keep is up, I'll be watching.
I think it would also be cool instead of putting a V8 in it Build up the Six like the old school Hot Rodders did back in the day because you can put a different intake and a 4 barrel on that Six and make decent power
He said that flathead six was too worn out to rebuild.
Would be cool I’m sure. I just have no interest in modding s six cylinder.
@@danielventura8073 Yes, and let's not forget that everything is fixable, but at what cost xD, you could for sure refurbish the old flat six but it would just take a lot of money and time sadly.
In the cars day, that is what would have happened, Mod the old six, cam, carbs, free flows etc, ANY engine can be rebuilt regardless of how worn it is!!!!!
Americans thinks anything under 8 cyl as "small" lol when this car has a very big 6 cyl!! But make sense to V8 swap It for him, from the availability of parts for example V8 Is more common he can find very easily a simple configuation good for the car and for cheap
Excellent plan Dylan! I drove Plymouths with that old flat 6. That thing was past its due date in the late 1940's. I actually bought a new 1970 Satellite almost exactly like the rusty one you own. The 318 was a great engine for a daily driver. All the best.
Flathead 6. A flat 6 is what the Corvair and Porsche use.
@@michaelbenardo5695 Obviously true. I have owned and driven cars with that engine.
I would love a 58! Such a cool car. Great seeing it being worked on.
Yes! She gets a 318! Woohoo! Glass packs and duals for sure! Also like that it's come from the Satellite and that the Satellite is going to live on with something more befitting its colour and stance. When I think of the 'rodder creed, you're right - there was a large amount of low budget mods that you did in order to make something go better. Finding another good engine, a replacement pair of bucket seats and console to replace an unwanted bench seat, using house carpet instead of paying for an expensive set of repros - these I have done myself over the years and saved my money for the likes of a decent exhaust system, a new carburettor, maybe even a decent sound system. The 1977 Mini I own nowadays has been done with this mentality also. You could also call it a shout toward recycling things that would otherwise sit and rot away! All the best for this project, Dylan. Looking forward to seeing progress on both cars as time goes by.
Good choice on the engine. Those little 318s are great! I really enjoy your videos
In Canada, the Plymouth Savoy was also called a Dodge Regent, just a rebadged Plymouth, a Plymodge.
Dylan I think you're making the right choice with the 318 it's going to pull that old girl down the road decent, And like you said it's a roadstoration can't wait to see more. Keep it up and God bless
I was happy to see that satilite come back from JYD. It was fun watching them work on it and curse mopar the whole time. LOL
Dylan when you find an engine with really low compression put 90W gear oil in the cylinders and it will start right up if you have fire and run fine. When the engine warms up the rings will free up and be fine. I have done this in the passed and it worked perfectly.

Love the Roadsteration. Exactly what I'm doing with my 1970 VW Karmann Ghia. Everyone is asking about the body work. I just shake my head. They don't understand how much I have to do just to get it on the road.
Even if a rig is complete... there can be an enormous amount of time & energy expended to get it 100% functional and back on the road. And yeah, that only covers the basics - NOT body, paint, interior, etc. Been there, done that and got the T-shirt many times over. Aside from all else, it'll teach you to be patient! ⏳😴 🇺🇸

This is turning into the build of the year! Super stoked on this fifty eight!
Hi from uk dylan 👋👍 cant wait to see Christine come back to life her time has come to stop being haunted let the oil consume you 👌😂 and yeah that burnout was epic on kevins trailer I think its first time I've seen someone get tapped out of a burnout for you to climb out caughing smoke for 5 mins lok great shout with v8 tho 👌 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
I like the message of using what you have as far as hotroding is concerned. A lot of us, including myself away from that. I guess that’s why my car has been sitting for a decade plus.
I'd love to have that 58 flat head (L-head) engine to rebuild and put in my 1936 Plymouth!!!
Check with Dylan; he says he’s willing to part with it!
That would be a worthy upgrade for a '36, keeping with the "Roadsteration" ideal.
And you would have a welcome boost in power too - 230 cubes vs only 201 in your 36, if it is stock.
@@michaelbenardo5695 Also easier to find parts for the 58 over the 36
Except I'm getting too old to fix either one (I'm 74 years old) I don't think she will ever be on the road in my lifetime!
I am loving this whole "Roadstoration" concept - reminds me a lot of the whole Roadkill / Freiburger "Don't get it right, just get it running!" concept. I'm doing a roadstoration on my 70 big block Town & Country and my buddy's 75 Matador coupe just because they're cool and we want to drive them and maybe even bring them to Power Tour next year. Not show cars, not perfect, just fun drivers. Thanks again for all your content, efforts, and hope to see you on the road sometime! - Sabrina
Hey Dylan thank you for the video and it seems like the Plymouth is getting a better heart to keep its blood flowing 😊
Absolutely agree with you, the engine swap is necessary and another one can be replaced in the satellite. Been watching the channel for years and love the content, you are so lucky to have such cool pieces of automotive history.
I like the idea of the satellite v8 it’s sounds a very healthy engine.
My best junk yard engine was for my 86 300ZX, my original engine shot a rod right out of the block, and of course that means new engine required. The engine I found was in an 84 300ZX that had been rear ended, i was expecting to have trouble finding my engine and expected to have to find a new vg30 and parts swap, so already awesome to find a car with my same engine, what made it ever better is the engine was clean, i mean super clean, and freash paint on it, just a little bit of oil. If i had to guess that engine had been recently rebuilt, maybe had 500 miles on it, checked the water pump ect, it all was new looking inside. Was my favorite junk yard find, didn't expect a freash rebuilt engine from the junk yard, and i only paid $400 for it including all the accessories lol.
You should dress the LA like an early series A, with a silver block. Or, the Christine-like V800 with gold valve covers.
You must be able to predict the future 😂
Reminds me of a swap I did years ago. Yanked a built 440 , full manual 727 and a posi out of a 68 Satellite and made it fit in a 57 Plymouth. That was a much tighter fit. I could write a book on that one.
That sounds like an interesting swap.
I put a 75 Cadillac 500 cubic inch engine and TH400 transmission in a 77 Chevy pickup. Was fairly easy swap.
Flat head time!! This is really cool I am looking forward to learning from this. I know nothing about these style engines.
Hi Bryan, these engines are too simple and they run forever if they have rings and the valves work. You don't need much more than that.
I use 15W-40 Diesel oil on my Chrysler 361 Big block, same oil type applies on that 318, The diesel oil will have tremendous amounts of zinc compared to the conventional oils thats more for modern/fresh engines.
My vote is to hot rod the flat six. That would be mega cool
Hey Dylan.. One of my best friends are sheets of cardboard. Under the car, next to the car for placing leaking parts on. It saves a lot of clean up and floor staining. Junk plywood is cool to. Keep it up!!
I'd love to see that original motor get rebuilt/hopped up a little bit, just make it a nice cruiser, don't see near as many people keeping the straight 6's anymore!
My 1951 Plymouth still has her original 6 with 3 on the tree and 6 volt positive ground electrical system. I love driving her. She's a daily.
Cleaning is like painting.......always work from the top down.
As always great video Dylan, I think the 383 would have been a good volunteer for this car since they would have been readily available in junkyard cars in early sixties, those transmissions were very dangerous if you jack up the back of the car to change the tire with one wheel off the ground it could roll and fall off the jack. Would really like to find a car like this myself.
First year for the 383 was 1959. Optional for Plymouth in 1960.
@@bigblockjalopy his goal was to find an engine that would have been bought cheap from a junkyard car in the '60s to revive the car and make a cheap hot rod and be somewhat period correct.
@@mrpurcountry Yes, I just posted that because you said the 383 came out in the early 60s. Both versions of the 383 (B&RB) came out late in 58 for the 59 model year.
Oh boy, Dylan did the meerkat thing again. Hysterical!
I'm ok with the engine swap now that I know its worn out. It made me happy that you didn't immediately give up and take it out, are you gonna change out the steel wheels or can they clean up cause it wouldn't look right with Shiny Cragars in my opinion.
With the wheels, I'd honestly say to find the original hubcaps for the steelies. These old cars are works of art.
Think what you're doing is going the right direction ,I'm a firm believer in using what you have
Something interesting, the six cyl cars didn't come with the grill V. Someone added that to your car
Exactly. That’s why it needs a V8!
@@DylanMcCoolVideo DUDE ...MASK!!!!
ALSO ....DUDE ...... CORDOBA!!!
ALSO.....DUDE........COLDWAR MOTORS
ALSO.....DUDE....... GOOD VIDEO!!!
@@DylanMcCoolVideo definitely needs the 6 left in it
Or it is a replacement grille.
Definitely good thing to keep the old 318 Plymouth satellite engine being put into the 58. Continue the legacy
I say you should commit to taking it to 2023 power tour
Another one lives! Awesome stuff man.
Just a question, how much are these in the US? (6 Cyls and v8’s) I’m thinking about importing one in a few years
Also if it’s a push button or a on the column, does that change price much?
Generally speaking, the higher the trim package, the more expensive/desirable the car. If it has the funky gadgets most people didn't get/couldn't afford, it'll be a lot more money. Especially on rare cars.
My mother took one look at this car and said "it's pretty common". I would imagine you could find one pretty easily stateside from forums or classic junkyards. Don't know if you want a project or a driver-ready one, but forums, junkyards and sometimes Facebook are the way to go for projects or leads. Join a vintage Plymouth group and you'll definitely find leads. Always look stateside first because the import cost will be more than you pay for the car, $3000-$10,000.
Even modern junkyards might have some leads, because occasionally they get vintage/rare cars sold to them and they set them aside, either for themselves to fix or to sell as whole to someone who wants to restore it. 9/10 times the junkyard employee is a car enthusiast, so they should have good leads.
@@GetDougDimmadomed thank you so much.
Classy Jazz background
Getting very spicy with your editing, bud
I like your style, dude
Guys like you keep guys like me hopeful! Thanks for what you do
This kid is a certified genius. Love his videos.
The rule of thumb I look for when I'm at the pick and pull, look for the one that's rear-ended when looking for engine/drivetrain parts. When looking for body/interior parts, go for the mint looking ones.
Dylan I am looking forward to this series of videos I think it is a great thing that you do save cars like this I am a classic car guy and these cars are getting rare to actually see still on the road. It seems days when cars were made the right way and not plastic and fiberglass are gone and it is a shame in my opinion
Keep up the great work
Hey Dylan, Thx for posting. Got to go right now, but you can bet I'll be back here watchin this progress asap. That flathead is something. Best.
I honestly will say, Dylan you have a great plan!!
I’m loving this car. Glad to see it live another life. Keep putting in the love.
Good to see you save this old Mopar, 318 best engines ever made
Yes sir I like your little history lesson for the young ones.
This is perfect I'm doing the same exact set up. I'm going from a flathead in my 58 to a 72 318 la and 904 trans
I love 58 Plymouths, this is a great find Dylan even as is she looks beautiful, "I"M IN LOVE with this car, great find, and with the the 318 PURE GREATNESS!!! and she is in such great shape I can't believe it, she looks better then when Arnie found Christine! "OH" your stickers are sold out, just checked your store....."I NEED A McCool STICKER"!!!!
The 318 V8 is a excellent choice of engine and the currently one is very healthy i think. Great video 😊👍
Your music gives me the "blues". Love the car!
Fun video, nice to watch the progress
Hi bro from west Alabama love y’all
Isn't it incredible what a difference just a good cleaning and vacuuming can do!
Thank you for sharing and the appreciation
I like the fact that the door buzzer still works in the '70 Satellite.
There's a goal for me. I have a 1968 Coronet 440 that was pulled out of a storage Shed it was is put in back in 1986. I found an 871 blown 440 that's just about ready to put in. After that I just need the cardboard list. I'll be at moparty September 16th through the 18th.
I love the idea of giving that big old car a better motor.
I say drop in the 318 and the 3speed into the 58 Plymouth and use the body for another cool 😎 project. Like you said you're using what you have on hand. I can't wait to see this 58 Plymouth come to life with a sweet power plant and a 3 speed
Such a cool car
Love the show. I'm a huge mopar fan too! Thanks for sharing your show Dylan.
Glad to see you're going to upgrade the old beast. My friend had an old Desoto(pretty much the same car in the year) with a factory 341 Hemi..
The DeSoto was pretty much the same car as the Chrysler. The Plymouth is pretty much the same car as the Dodge.
Amazing how you got the "strength" to tear down that engine...i got "tired" just looking at the video sitting in my chair....Well done!!😉
👆👆YOU’VE BEEN PICKED FOR THE ONGOING GIVEAWAY.🎊🎉..
I have a cursed car at my patio. Is a 2012 Elantra 😮 that my daughter wrecked. Painted black, it looks scarier than Christine (more than $5,000 worth repairs). This creepier Hyundai will sit there until someone wants it or it will go to the scrap yard. (Do you want to trade it in for the road restored 1972 Chevelle?) Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Back to working on Christine's brother
I'm just glad you are keeping the 3 speed
In 62 I kelp losing my mains in my 51 cranbrook ply
So I went to the wrecker (back then) found a Chrysler 260 six.
It was nay 3 inches longer, no problem.
I was taking auto tech in college so I bored it oversize , put a truck clutch behind it,
Make sure to replace water displacement tube in block that runs behind the cyls to cool them
It ran 60 in second gear.
Mill the head 60 tho , I split the exhaust for duals,
Chrysler actually made dual intake and exhaust but my friend wouldn’t part with his.
Might be cheaper to just get a 318 from the local wrecker , clean the outside and tell everyone you worked it over
And enjoy.
Great swap out , bringing the Plymouth on with what you have , thanks for sharing 👌
Vary awesome indeed. Nice 👍 on getting the Plymouth clean up. Sweet. Keep up the great work. Okay.
Hi there Dylan and all you watching this series come lately. I was and am fascinated by those jet/shark like fins on the two front fenders. As of yet Dylan, I haven't heard you bring up these two accent bits that to me are just so unique to the era.
Just to be honest I've jumped around on this series quite alot so I may have missed you mention them but I wanted to bring forth my specific crush on how much I love such period adornments of the jet age design trim pieces that was added to cars of this era.
And to be sure I love that you have such a CRUSH on this model year of a Plymouth due to a classic book/movie and that you for so long have wanted to own one. Dylan your fascination with this car makes your videos of this particular Roadsteration so much fun for us to watch as you get it ready for the MOPARTY 2022. Thanks for taking your subscribers along for the ride.
One more thing I have to comment on is how you spoke about nearly tearing up when that young fella gave you that tiny model all painted up to match your Savoy, I can say here in the privacy of my home that I did tear up with a blubber in my throat. 😂
This thing is gonna be a beast with that engine!
The vacuum bit never gets old lol
This makes me extremely happy!!!
Good job! Love seeing the budget common man builds!
Love it Dylan. God bless. Jesus loves you. Rev. Wright
Very cool as always I see it on the road again 😊 thanks Lee
