@@rogerlairamore207 Anyone who rode in a 72 Cuda 340 got a quick. education in the power of Chrysler's small block. Thanks for your feedback Roger, I had the opportunity to see the Dan Gurney AAR Team race at Lime Rock back in the early 70's. Really wish they could bring that kind of road course competition back to life with the big three.
@@martymorse2 There is a modern day Trans Am circuit you can find it on UA-cam Trans Am vintage series, the last time I watched it the dodge challenger won the race, it was driven by Sam Posey in the in the early 70’s, and they are all vintage race cars that raced from the late 60s and early 70s I enjoy watching them.
@@martymorse2 i’ve also watched some racing videos on UA-cam from the original Trans Am circuit from 1970-71 and I seen Dan Gurney racing his 1970 Plymouth, Cuda and Sam Posey, racing his 1970 Dodge Challenger
Really informative video, thank you pointing out some key points on Mopars! The video really is full of so much history and also the specialist that you interviewed were really knowledgeable! My love for E bodies runs deep, I had a 70 matching numbers real BS23 coded Cuda : 383 BB w/727 and 3:55’s that I bought in 2008 and I spent 6 years creating a restomod, because of the wear I created a 447ci roller cam stroker motor .60 over with a longer crank throw and a gear vendors OD., with a custom interior, switches and gauges, AC and carbon fiber center console & dash. It was a beast! Unfortunately stolen in Brooklyn NY 2016 never turned up again, it broke my heart, I keep hoping it will turn up! I still check with auto theft to see if the VIN turns up, i have a feeling it left the country or a tag job was done! I will get another one one day, keep up the great work I am a new subscriber!
Dude your knowledge of Mopar at a relatively young age is very impressive. Keep it up and you'll be highly sought after around the country by Mopar enthusiast seeking accurate information. On a side note, I know you didn't wanna say it, but anyone who would give 34k for that engine would have to be as insane as the guy who priced it. Insanity meets insanity Another great video as usual. 👍.
He had some good knowledge, but what got me was when he was looking at the 70 GTX with the 440 6 BBL . First, he called it a 6Pack , not in Plymouth land, then he said that it had 2 3BBL carbs 😜. But other than that and a few other minor mistakes, I thought he was doing a great job for a guy in his late 20s and not being around., nut as previously stated he could of got it off the internet or by reading one of the Mopar magazines.
If people knew what I do about Hemi head engine's they wouldn't sell for that much. They're absolutely horrible combustion chambers with all kinds of issues you have to deal with building them, I've been doing it professionally both full time and anymore on the side for over 30 years, they're one of the two worst combustion chambers used in automobiles in the post WW2 era second only to the flathead, which is exactly why anyone who uses them in this age closed the chambers on them and run flat top pistons, Chrysler uses the name Hemi in relation to their modern engine's only because having copyrighted the name years ago in regards to cars they can apply it to any engine they like, but their modern engine's aren't any more Hemi's than my dog is the Secretary of Defense, they share a lot with the old elephant Hemi's, the canted valves in a cross flow arrangement most importantly but the closed chambers are anything but hemispherical. When it comes to a blown engine that runs high boost that changes everything, like the WW2 US radial aircraft engine's which is where Chrysler learned a lot about them from building them under contract and working with the US aircraft engine manufacturers, but when you're talking naturally aspirated engine's a Hemi has a lot of issues that have to be dealt with and compromises that have to be made, what most people don't realize is that the 426 Hemi made the kind of power it did because it came from the factory with the rubber band already wound up pretty tight, solid lifters and cam, compression was already up, like the big displacement engine's from the other two US corporations the 426 didn't come in a mild form that could be found in station wagons and pickup trucks, that led some people who didn't understand what they were looking at to think that the 426 that came from the factory was somehow along the lines of a base model engine not understanding that they were already in a high state of tune, there was no hydraulic lifter low to medium compression version like other large displacement engine's that had utility versions that came in a lower state of tune. There's a reason why no one makes real Hemi engine's anymore, not even racing unless it's forced induction, and closed chamber versions of it are dying off to, even Harley Davidson who made Hemi's for years before Chrysler closed their chambers on their engine's and went to flat top pistons in 1984 which, like mass producing Hemi engine's years before Chrysler, was also something they did years before Chrysler reintroduced the Hemi with closed chambers and they quit making even that kind of combustion chamber and switched to 4V head's with a low flatter roof. Closing the chambers and running flat top pistons solves a lot of problem's, and creates benefits like a real squish area that can be set up easily, but they still have high roofs which retain heat, that keeps combustion chamber temperatures up requiring a slightly richer mixture to control detonation which in turn makes increased emissions standards harder to get an engine certified, in Harley's case they're air cooled making them even harder to lean out without getting detonation, thing's hit a point where it was either go 4V or liquid cool the engine's and they'll do whatever it takes to keep from hanging a radiator on the front of their big twins.
Great video Mopar sure gone up in prices. I'm 58 years old and in 1981 I bought a 1970 road runner root beer brown auto with a 383 paid $460 dollars and a buddy of mine liked it so much that he got a 69 for $300. Those days are long long👍🇺🇲
What a great vid,chock of info. Your knowledge base is so refreshing to see in someone younger (i'm 60). I have a 1965 Coronet 440,4 speed. Always wanted to see Carlisle & now,thanks to you, i did !
The “scallops” on that green Daytona were not for clearance of the tire. There is a mesh screen under them that allowed trapped air in the wheel well to escape at high speed which kept the front end down on the track.
@@maxsav007True, but if you are at all familiar with the wheel well areas on a Daytona, there is no way that on a street car or on a race-version the tires would interfere/rub on the tops of the fenders
This is great. I was a bow tie guy since my Dad worked for a Chevy dealership from 46 to 70. There was a Plymouth/Dodge dealership in the small town but they didn't order any of the cool cars like this. Thanks for sharing and you are a wealth of knowledge.
My dad owned a 1957 DeSoto equipped with a hemi engine. I think he said it was a 341 or 342 cid. It was a two-door hardtop with a four barrel carb and dual exhaust and limited slip differential. It was two tone green and white and had a torque flite tranny. I still remember the car even though I was a little kid. Dad never stopped talking about how much he loved the hemi engine it had.
Let me drop in a few corrections. 383 big blocks were available in '70 and '71 Barracudas, not just Cudas. And 340 small blocks were available in Cudas... Only 1970 Dusters are missing the body line on the trunk lid. All Demons, Dart Sports and '71 and up Dusters have it. The Petty blue Superbird will be paint code 999, meaning special order. That '70 Six Barrel GTX is a good deal.. Keep up the good work.
A new block is over $6000 alone and will need lots tlc in assembly by a specialist if you can even get one because all the builders, Barton, Arrington, etc get first dibs and buy several at a time.
I`m 63..I learned alot from you video. Those Mopars--we destroyed them in the late 1970s early 80s--beat them to death.bought them cheap and didn`t respect what we had--what a shame!
My father always bought MoPar’s during that time because they were the cheapest of the three. He said they were junk back then and we laugh anytime we see these ridiculous prices
I did not sell mine. I still have my 70 Challenger and 70 GTX. My first car was a 72 Vitamin C Duster. A girl ran a stop sign and as I drove by at 60 MPH she hit me. Totaled. I do miss that car. I also own my 80s and 90s cars too. 88 Conquest tsi and a 91 Stealth R/T TT. Both arrest me red. 😂 So glad I did hang on to them. I drive them weekly.
@@RustyZipper Wrong....GM/Ford were dirt cheap of the 3..Mopars were better built cars of that era(reason cops used them and lots of movies used them they held up vs a gm/ford).. I bought a 1967 318 Satellite and my buddies bought 396 Chevellles and 396 Nova's and 351 and 390 Mustangs for cheaper than any Mopar.. I was always jealous of how cheap GM/Fords were until I drove them then I understood why they were cheaper,they felt cheap they rattled and parts missing..Mopars were solid and way better..I bought a finally 383 Super Bee when I was 19 and blew all my buddies away! That dumb show dukes of hazzard originally used a Chevelle but after a few light jumps the front end always collapsed on the chevy,they had Dodge cop cars and those held up,so they looked for a Dodge.. Charger would be reused multiple times even after some pretty big jumps where the Chevy would have folded in half! GM frames are weak,Mopars sub frames were tougher! The movie Bullet the Charger nothing broke the Mustang they said every interior piece was lose,fell off door panels,mirrors etc.. even exterior trim/door handles broke off the Mustang...Once Charger they used was sold back to the dealer and sold,the other well it crashed..They used several Mustangs and all broke had parts fall off.Mustang also had suspension damage and Charger had none,Charger even lapped the Mustang at a circle track,this was all talked about in magazines by the stuntmen...Chargers stunt driver owned a Corvette so he wasnt even a Dodge guy but was impressed how good the car was!
@@mypronouniswtf5559 - how old are you? My father is 72, he was buying these things a couple years old back in the early 70’s and well into the 80’s when I came along. He had a ‘68 or ‘69 Roadrunner nearly new and hated it, sold it at the end of summer ‘70 for a brand spanking new ‘71 Ford Ranger. He bought MoPar’s because they were cheap, that’s what he told me and I don’t think I’ve ever caught him lying and he’s tighter than bark on a tree with his money. Around circa 1990 he upgraded to an ‘84 Caprice. We’ve been a GM family every since… except for mother who drives a newish Mazda CX5 AWD and BTW he still drives the ‘71 Ford, that’s how cheap he is 🤣
The Plymouth 1970 Plymouth Cuda’s also came with the small block 340, to be a Cuda it didn’t have to be a big block engine, the 340 was available and was strictly a high performance engine
Great video man and very educational for the younger crowd. One small thing at 18:23 you said that ‘71 RR was coke bottle body style but that was the start of the fuselage styling, 68-70 was the coke 💪🏼🏁
I had a friend in high school who had a silver 69 GTX with a black vinyl top. I think it was the prettiest car ever. It had a 440 and he had added a high performance cam and headers. It ran the 1/4 in 11:25. He once got stopped by the Highway patrol going 158 (and they let him go). Gorgeous car. When I was in college, in the fall of 1970, the local Plymouth dealer had 3 Superbirds, 2 with 440's (for $3,800) and one Hemi (for $4,250). Gas had gotten expensive, and they couldn't give them away. A local used car lot had a 69 Dodge Super Bee with a Hemi. Orange with black top, for $3,900. Another local dealer had a Petty blue Ford Mustang Boss 429 for $4,500. How I wish I had bought one of these and put it in storage.
🧙♂️ Well... I don't know if I would go that far. 😂 couldn't help myself, jk. he really is smart and easy to listen too. But mostly, I love the respect he shows when he puts his hands behind his back. Perfect manners go a long way 👍
In 1979 to 1983 when I was young 19 years old in 1979 I bought a 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T blue with white vinyl top 440 magnum auto trans for $2,500 nice shape overall then sold that car later for $10,000 and that buyer sold it to Germany where it was selling for $50,000 in 1998 and is in Europe now. I also bought a 1973 Plymouth Cuda 340 auto black on black with black vinyl top in 1982 for $3,500 and regretted selling that car as well. Now I am 63 years old and a bought a nice 1966 Mustang coupe 289 4 barrel with many factory options red with white vinyl top a California black plate car Palm Springs desert car all it's life excellent very clean original underbody sheet metal and original 289 V-8 and with the flow master 44 mufflers it sounds great. I bought this Mustang in 2017 and it is now my current classic car here in Colorado after I moved here from Michigan 17 years ago . I do like the Mopars but the prices today are insane and no regrets buying and owning a Ford 1966 Mustang it is a classic historical time machine.
You are amazing!!! The knowledge and information you have is outstanding. I’m 59 and I have been in love with old hot rods all my life and I’ve been fortunate enough to have owned some nice ones. Thank you!!!
Really good and accurate info on the mighty Mopars. I remember seeing the Ramchargers race cars when they first hit the dragstrips. The drivers and crew were very professional and the cars made sounds like nothing else at the strip that day. Needless to say, the cars made the quarter mile look short. Good upload! P.S. That experience would lead me to buy my '70 Roadrunner in the fall of 1969. That is the car I NEVER should have sold! Went to town the day I bought it with money burning a hole in my pocket, vowing to come home with either a Roadrunner or a SuperBee. I really liked the Super Bee but the RR got the nod in the end. 440, 4-sp'd, Track Pac, 3.91 rear end, Grabber hood, Meep-meep, .....the works. I lost my mind a few years later and traded for a damned Nova.....a regular Chevrolet steaming pile!
I grew up with these cars, My Uncle in 1974 had a Daytona and an Superbird, He owned a 3 bay service station with a small used car lot. His Daytona was Red and his Superbird was Green. He Drove the Superbird daily. I never really knew how he got them, But I remember he had them for a while. He passed in 2016 at 83, He always said "I wish I would have kept them" ME TOO! And I want to echo your knowledge of all these Muscle cars impressive for such a young guy. I hope more young guys take the interest you have, I had a 1972 Cutlass Supreme in High School with a 350 rocket, LOVED that car
Thanks for the tour. Aside July being a bit too humid for me and having my $$ tied up in my 72 Fury wagon at the moment I was not able to make it this year so I do appreciate this.
Great video -- loved watching and listening to the narrative. Bought a new 1968 Charger 383 in torch red and black vinyl top -- was what they called a 'white hat special' and was a great car I kept for 8 years. My nephew ended up with it in Michigan but sold it to a friend without giving me the opportunity to buy it back. Have had 7 Mopars and still have a 1997 Dakota that I have kept in pristine condition,. This was the first video of yours I have seen but will definitely look up others. Thank you ....
The hemi is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. I bet he has it online too, and nobody wants to pay over 10K for it. In a few years I will be getting another “toy” to take to shows again. Thanks for the walkthrough. 👍🏻
This was a great video. I was there and did not know the significance of all these objects. Amazing that you appeared unphased by the heat. That Hemi engine price was crazy when I saw it. I went to the room with all the crate engines and I felt like that was where the special pieces were. I like how you keep your dialogue neutral and sought additional input from the sellers. You could have charged for a walking tour and I would have taken it. I understand some facts were incorrect but we never stop learning.
Born with Chevy blood, had transfusions in early 60ds. to mopar , my first car was a 64 1/2 barracuda number 50 off assembly line. Great show an info. thumbs up to your camera man.
@33:39, I like that he passed right by the coolest one there - the '68 Barracuda Fast Top. B and E bodies aren't the only cool ChryCos.!!! That keeps the prices down a bit on these A bodies, and also with C and D bodies.
The Chrysler Corporation paid Warner Brothers $50,000 dollars in 1968 to use the road runner logo of the road runner bird and to have a horn that sounded like the cartoon character.
Parker, your knowledge of the Mopar cars is impressive. I have been a Mopar car guy since the age of 16 and I'm 69 years old. I am restoring a 1967 Charger Hemi, 1 of 58 according to Galen Govier, whom I consulted with before I purchased the car. I will tell you and your followers know that although my car was in good condition, meaning no rust and the Hemi engine had been rebuilt (sitting on a stand) the small parts to bring my car back to life has been eye opening cost experience. The 67 Chargers are one of the hardest cars to find original parts for or even to get the parts restored. I agree with watzonda2b ( see below) that the 67 was the first year for the dual poy master cylinder. The most rare part on my car, in my opinion, was finding a piston rebuild kit for my original Disc brake Bendix 4 piston calipers. Go on any Mopar Forum and you will find the discussion of the 4 piston bendix caliper rebuild kit or finding a pair of Bendix 4 piston calipers for sale are basically impossible to find. Anyway, you did a great job in your video, I appreciate the time you took to share Carlisle 2023 cars and have become a subscriber. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I found a guy with a Dodge Charger 500 with the L code, sitting at his driveway fully intact no rust, I don't think he has the money to restore it so I may offer him something..
wow...back in 76 i went to a junk yard and found 3 hemi's sitting on the ground, 2 with chrome valve covers and 1 with the wrinkle black painted covers. the guy running the yard told me i could have my choice of any of the 3 for 300.00....man if i only knew!!
Fantastic content and very informative!!!! I just subscribed and look forward to following your channel. I always had a love for these classic Mopar cars. I should have bought one when I was in High School when these were more affordable.
Talking about 1969 Charger 500s, Nick's Garage (who has a YT Channel, and was present at Carlisle) restored a Yellow one to better than perfect factory condition. He also restored, owns, and drives an Alpine White 1970 Challenger R/T 4-Speed, a perfect replica of the Vanishing Point Car.
i remember when wrecks like those chargers were in the self service wrecking yards in the 80s. They were also stripped pretty clean when i would see them.
I had a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, white with a black vinyl top. It had a 383 cubic inch engine. It had a Slap stick automatic transmission. It passed everything on the road, but the gas station. I brought while I was stationed in Charleston, SC, in 1973 for $1,900. I have a picture, but I can't post it on this site.
Sub'd - 1st time watching. The respect you show to both people and parts, is wonderful. Plus you have an easy to listen to manner. Now, off to search your posts for my favorite car's. 🧙♂️🙂 Also love that you make sure contact #'s, are readable 👍
I had a 73 Challenger 340 with the pistol grip 4 speed transmission. I absolutely loved the pistol grip on that car. I bought it in 1980 for 800 dollars and it only had 64K miles on it. It was my daily driver for 19 years until a hit and run driver ran a red-light and t-boned me. It destroyed the car and almost destroyed me. I spent 6 days in ICU forca total of 12 days in the hospital. I saw the mileage odometer start over twice. I loved that car and still miss it today. I have tears in my eyes as I type this message.
I probably missed something in your discussion about red painted rear drums. I bought a '70 HemiCuda used in '73 and the rear drums were not painted at all let alone red. The car had mag wheels so I don't know which wheels it came with if that makes a difference.
what attracted me to mopar is the 68 Charger was just coming out in a rush. I was told they didnt have taillights and markers designed yet so they rushed them with some Ace hardware lights , I was told and I love them.
Dual circuit brakes systems became mandatory in 1967 not 68. Crazy prices on some of those cars - especially the projects. What those people don't realize is that the cost to restore has also gone way up.
72 Demon's had the rib on the trunk lid. The 71 were flat. I've owned 2. One I purchased new in 1971. Same color green. My current 340 Demon is Hemi Orange. 4 speed with 14,300 original miles. Flat trunk lid. Double fender tag car. It's a wing car too.
One thing I always found unique to Mopar was the sound of the starter motors. Such a distinctive and different sound from the GM or Fords.
Yep, whiny sound whip dip dip dip dip dip dip Vroom @

The only person that would pay that is the owner of the car that engine came out of originally.
I would think so also
A new block is over $6000 alone and will need lots tlc in assembly by a specialist if you can even get one because all the builders, Barton, Arrington, etc get first dibs and buy several at a time.
For 34k you can buy a new hellcat motor. I like the original stuff but at those prices its just crazy
I`m 63..I learned alot from you video. Those Mopars--we destroyed them in the late 1970s early 80s--beat them to death.bought them cheap and didn`t respect what we had--what a shame!
My father always bought MoPar’s during that time because they were the cheapest of the three. He said they were junk back then and we laugh anytime we see these ridiculous prices
I did not sell mine. I still have my 70 Challenger and 70 GTX. My first car was a 72 Vitamin C Duster. A girl ran a stop sign and as I drove by at 60 MPH she hit me. Totaled. I do miss that car. I also own my 80s and 90s cars too. 88 Conquest tsi and a 91 Stealth R/T TT. Both arrest me red. 😂 So glad I did hang on to them. I drive them weekly.
@@RustyZipper Wrong....GM/Ford were dirt cheap of the 3..Mopars were better built cars of that era(reason cops used them and lots of movies used them they held up vs a gm/ford)..
I bought a 1967 318 Satellite and my buddies bought 396 Chevellles and 396 Nova's and 351 and 390 Mustangs for cheaper than any Mopar..
I was always jealous of how cheap GM/Fords were until I drove them then I understood why they were cheaper,they felt cheap they rattled and parts missing..Mopars were solid and way better..I bought a finally 383 Super Bee when I was 19 and blew all my buddies away!
That dumb show dukes of hazzard originally used a Chevelle but after a few light jumps the front end always collapsed on the chevy,they had Dodge cop cars and those held up,so they looked for a Dodge..
Charger would be reused multiple times even after some pretty big jumps where the Chevy would have folded in half! GM frames are weak,Mopars sub frames were tougher! The movie Bullet the Charger nothing broke the Mustang they said every interior piece was lose,fell off door panels,mirrors etc.. even exterior trim/door handles broke off the Mustang...Once Charger they used was sold back to the dealer and sold,the other well it crashed..They used several Mustangs and all broke had parts fall off.Mustang also had suspension damage and Charger had none,Charger even lapped the Mustang at a circle track,this was all talked about in magazines by the stuntmen...Chargers stunt driver owned a Corvette so he wasnt even a Dodge guy but was impressed how good the car was!
@@mypronouniswtf5559 - how old are you? My father is 72, he was buying these things a couple years old back in the early 70’s and well into the 80’s when I came along. He had a ‘68 or ‘69 Roadrunner nearly new and hated it, sold it at the end of summer ‘70 for a brand spanking new ‘71 Ford Ranger. He bought MoPar’s because they were cheap, that’s what he told me and I don’t think I’ve ever caught him lying and he’s tighter than bark on a tree with his money. Around circa 1990 he upgraded to an ‘84 Caprice. We’ve been a GM family every since… except for mother who drives a newish Mazda CX5 AWD and BTW he still drives the ‘71 Ford, that’s how cheap he is 🤣
Great stuff. Love the channel
The Plymouth 1970 Plymouth Cuda’s also came with the small block 340, to be a Cuda it didn’t have to be a big block engine, the 340 was available and was strictly a high performance engine
@rogerlairamore207. You're right. And the AAR 'Cuda had a 340 -6 barrel.
@@dannyjamison8337 yes it did
Great video man and very educational for the younger crowd. One small thing at 18:23 you said that ‘71 RR was coke bottle body style but that was the start of the fuselage styling, 68-70 was the coke 💪🏼🏁
I had a friend in high school who had a silver 69 GTX with a black vinyl top. I think it was the prettiest car ever. It had a 440 and he had added a high performance cam and headers. It ran the 1/4 in 11:25. He once got stopped by the Highway patrol going 158 (and they let him go). Gorgeous car.
When I was in college, in the fall of 1970, the local Plymouth dealer had 3 Superbirds, 2 with 440's (for $3,800) and one Hemi (for $4,250). Gas had gotten expensive, and they couldn't give them away.
A local used car lot had a 69 Dodge Super Bee with a Hemi. Orange with black top, for $3,900.
Another local dealer had a Petty blue Ford Mustang Boss 429 for $4,500.
How I wish I had bought one of these and put it in storage.
Keep up the great content young man, I grew up with these cars and have owned many, your grasp of technical details rivals many of us old timers!
🧙♂️ Well... I don't know if I would go that far.
😂
couldn't help myself, jk. he really is smart and easy to listen too.
But mostly, I love the respect he shows when he puts his hands behind his back. Perfect manners go a long way 👍
In 1979 to 1983 when I was young 19 years old in 1979 I bought a 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T blue with white vinyl top 440 magnum auto trans for $2,500 nice shape overall then sold that car later for $10,000 and that buyer sold it to Germany where it was selling for $50,000 in 1998 and is in Europe now. I also bought a 1973 Plymouth Cuda 340 auto black on black with black vinyl top in 1982 for $3,500 and regretted selling that car as well. Now I am 63 years old and a bought a nice 1966 Mustang coupe 289 4 barrel with many factory options red with white vinyl top a California black plate car Palm Springs desert car all it's life excellent very clean original underbody sheet metal and original 289 V-8 and with the flow master 44 mufflers it sounds great. I bought this Mustang in 2017 and it is now my current classic car here in Colorado after I moved here from Michigan 17 years ago . I do like the Mopars but the prices today are insane and no regrets buying and owning a Ford 1966 Mustang it is a classic historical time machine.
You are amazing!!! The knowledge and information you have is outstanding. I’m 59 and I have been in love with old hot rods all my life and I’ve been fortunate enough to have owned some nice ones.
Thank you!!!
Really good and accurate info on the mighty Mopars. I remember seeing the Ramchargers race cars when they first hit the dragstrips. The drivers and crew were very professional and the cars made sounds like nothing else at the strip that day. Needless to say, the cars made the quarter mile look short. Good upload! P.S. That experience would lead me to buy my '70 Roadrunner in the fall of 1969. That is the car I NEVER should have sold! Went to town the day I bought it with money burning a hole in my pocket, vowing to come home with either a Roadrunner or a SuperBee. I really liked the Super Bee but the RR got the nod in the end. 440, 4-sp'd, Track Pac, 3.91 rear end, Grabber hood, Meep-meep, .....the works. I lost my mind a few years later and traded for a damned Nova.....a regular Chevrolet steaming pile!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. As a lifelong MOPAR guy I probably enjoyed the intake segment the most. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for the memories. Our 71 Challenger Pace Car was featured in the T Building some years ago. So much fun.
Man , I subscribed to your channel as the knowledge that comes out of your mouth is just incredible just unbelievable, thanks JC from the UK..
Askin ain’t gittin as my pappy used to say ! Great job, lots of expertise Mopar wise.
Fascinating video, Parker you are a wealth of knowledge, thank you for sharing and teaching!
I grew up with these cars, My Uncle in 1974 had a Daytona and an Superbird, He owned a 3 bay service station with a small used car lot. His Daytona was Red and his Superbird was Green. He Drove the Superbird daily. I never really knew how he got them, But I remember he had them for a while. He passed in 2016 at 83, He always said "I wish I would have kept them" ME TOO! And I want to echo your knowledge of all these Muscle cars impressive for such a young guy. I hope more young guys take the interest you have, I had a 1972 Cutlass Supreme in High School with a 350 rocket, LOVED that car
Absolutely perfect presentation...... Learned a lot.... Thanks
Just finished the epidode. What a balltearer of a show. You earn a sub my man. Cheers from Australia.
Great video. Refreshing to see old school muscle car content from someone with your level of knowledge, especially considering your age. 👍
I like all the info that you got for us, I thought I knew a lot about Mopar's and I learned some new things.
The dual master cylinder started in 1967. The last year for a single Master was 1966.
WOW! And, I thought I knew a lot about MOPARs!!! Thanks for the additional education. Well Done and well-spoken!!
Great video. You actually took the time to explain things; including the prices
As a GM Brat /BlueBlood ur knowledge of Mopar is incredible keep up the good work
And prices at that show are ridiculous
Stupid even. You can buy some MIGHTY cool running/driving '60s cars for less than some of those should-be 500 dollar shitboxes.
Thanks for the tour. Aside July being a bit too humid for me and having my $$ tied up in my 72 Fury wagon at the moment I was not able to make it this year so I do appreciate this.
Great info! I'm currently in the process of a Road Runner restoration and really enjoyed all the Mopar information discussed here.
Great and informative video. Thanks for sharing!
Great video -- loved watching and listening to the narrative. Bought a new 1968 Charger 383 in torch red and black vinyl top -- was what they called a 'white hat special' and was a great car I kept for 8 years. My nephew ended up with it in Michigan but sold it to a friend without giving me the opportunity to buy it back. Have had 7 Mopars and still have a 1997 Dakota that I have kept in pristine condition,. This was the first video of yours I have seen but will definitely look up others. Thank you ....
dodge plum crazy plymouth in violet
Love your videos, keep it coming bud you're doing an awesome job with the content and the interviews.
😍Very cool, love a good Swap Meet!!!!!!👍
Neat to see a Dodge 330! I took my driver's license test in a 1964 push button auto 318 in '76. Thanks for the vid!
In 1970 it didn’t have to be a big block to be a ‘Cuda. You could get a ‘Cuda with the 340.
Another great video keep em coming
The hemi is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. I bet he has it online too, and nobody wants to pay over 10K for it.
In a few years I will be getting another “toy” to take to shows again.
Thanks for the walkthrough. 👍🏻
This was a great video. I was there and did not know the significance of all these objects. Amazing that you appeared unphased by the heat. That Hemi engine price was crazy when I saw it. I went to the room with all the crate engines and I felt like that was where the special pieces were. I like how you keep your dialogue neutral and sought additional input from the sellers. You could have charged for a walking tour and I would have taken it. I understand some facts were incorrect but we never stop learning.
Thanks for this video never been to a Carlisle show, your very knowledgeable on mopars.
Born with Chevy blood, had transfusions in early 60ds. to mopar , my first car was a 64 1/2 barracuda number 50 off assembly line. Great show an info. thumbs up to your camera man.
wow bro, you have an encyclopedic knowledge of Mopars! I learned a lot, thank you!
Great content. Your walking around knowledge is off the chart.
😊 Just stumbled across your channel yesterday. Love you show and subscribed. Great job… so many details I never knew. Thank you!
@33:39, I like that he passed right by the coolest one there - the '68 Barracuda Fast Top. B and E bodies aren't the only cool ChryCos.!!!
That keeps the prices down a bit on these A bodies, and also with C and D bodies.
Was my friend Nick from NICKS GARAGE THERE , HUGE MOPAR GUY ... GREAT CONTENT 👍
Very well done lots of good info! Been a Mopar fan for 35 years!
great video. appreciate your expertise and the way you highlight other experts. fascinating to watch and learn. thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tour.
The Chrysler Corporation paid Warner Brothers $50,000 dollars in 1968 to use the road runner logo of the road runner bird and to have a horn that sounded like the cartoon character.
Parker, your knowledge of the Mopar cars is impressive. I have been a Mopar car guy since the age of 16 and I'm 69 years old. I am restoring a 1967 Charger Hemi, 1 of 58 according to Galen Govier, whom I consulted with before I purchased the car. I will tell you and your followers know that although my car was in good condition, meaning no rust and the Hemi engine had been rebuilt (sitting on a stand) the small parts to bring my car back to life has been eye opening cost experience. The 67 Chargers are one of the hardest cars to find original parts for or even to get the parts restored. I agree with watzonda2b ( see below) that the 67 was the first year for the dual poy master cylinder. The most rare part on my car, in my opinion, was finding a piston rebuild kit for my original Disc brake Bendix 4 piston calipers. Go on any Mopar Forum and you will find the discussion of the 4 piston bendix caliper rebuild kit or finding a pair of Bendix 4 piston calipers for sale are basically impossible to find. Anyway, you did a great job in your video, I appreciate the time you took to share Carlisle 2023 cars and have become a subscriber. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great video, i am now a fan of your channel
I found a guy with a Dodge Charger 500 with the L code, sitting at his driveway fully intact no rust, I don't think he has the money to restore it so I may offer him something..
wow...back in 76 i went to a junk yard and found 3 hemi's sitting on the ground, 2 with chrome valve covers and 1 with the wrinkle black painted covers. the guy running the yard told me i could have my choice of any of the 3 for 300.00....man if i only knew!!
The chrome valve covers were put on the race Hemi, the crinkle black on the Street Hemi
@@tomkelsey3512 yeah.... i know
Fantastic content and very informative!!!! I just subscribed and look forward to following your channel. I always had a love for these classic Mopar cars. I should have bought one when I was in High School when these were more affordable.
Out standing job !
Talking about 1969 Charger 500s, Nick's Garage (who has a YT Channel, and was present at Carlisle) restored a Yellow one to better than perfect factory condition. He also restored, owns, and drives an Alpine White 1970 Challenger R/T 4-Speed, a perfect replica of the Vanishing Point Car.
i remember when wrecks like those chargers were in the self service wrecking yards in the 80s. They were also stripped pretty clean when i would see them.
Nice Video. I was there but did not had the time to go around. Great info on details. Thank you.
Would love to see some on the early fuselage models- and what they are selling for…
Subscribed love learning everything about cars
Good video . The amount of info u have is great and your presentation is great . Great job . Will vouch for u . Keep up good work.😊
The 318 is super tough, well designed and I seen modified 318s beat big blocks easily
I love the GTX! My uncle had a 1969 that he bought when he came home from Vietnam. The was one awesome car.
@18:12 They are called fuselage instead of coke bottle.
I had a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, white with a black vinyl top. It had a 383 cubic inch engine. It had a Slap stick automatic transmission. It passed everything on the road, but the gas station. I brought while I was stationed in Charleston, SC, in 1973 for $1,900. I have a picture, but I can't post it on this site.
Sub'd - 1st time watching.
The respect you show to both people and parts, is wonderful.
Plus you have an easy to listen to manner.
Now, off to search your posts for my favorite car's.
🧙♂️🙂
Also love that you make sure contact #'s, are readable 👍
Amazing commentary! Wow !
I had a 73 Challenger 340 with the pistol grip 4 speed transmission.
I absolutely loved the pistol grip on that car.
I bought it in 1980 for 800 dollars and it only had 64K miles on it.
It was my daily driver for 19 years until a hit and run driver ran a red-light and t-boned me. It destroyed the car and almost destroyed me. I spent 6 days in ICU forca total of 12 days in the hospital. I saw the mileage odometer start over twice.
I loved that car and still miss it today. I have tears in my eyes as I type this message.
Great video.❤️
Good job bro 👍🏼👍🏼 you’re very professional and you really know your Mopar‘s ‼️👍🏼👍🏼
Loved the trivia about the pentastar emblem on the right side only!
Great video! I learned alot!
Thanks for your support 👍
I probably missed something in your discussion about red painted rear drums. I bought a '70 HemiCuda used in '73 and the rear drums were not painted at all let alone red. The car had mag wheels so I don't know which wheels it came with if that makes a difference.
had a 71 super bee loved the pistol grip shifter
My best friend had a 70 duster 340 and his wife had a 71 Demon 340 automatic.
Great work!!!! Mopar to U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plum Crazy Purple !! Hell yes!!
Dude you really are educated on these mopars. I think it's cool to see your generation so involved in this history. 🎉🎉
Thanks for a great video! Subbed.
Very cool video, appreciate you sharing.
what attracted me to mopar is the 68 Charger was just coming out in a rush. I was told they didnt have taillights and markers designed yet so they rushed them with some Ace hardware lights , I was told and I love them.
Yeah that Marc Korman 71 Cuda it's also got the correct automatic torqueflite transmission and Dana 60 axle in it not just the block
Nice video. Made a handful of mistakes, but overall did a good job.
Aren't the Hemi torque boxes supposed to be welded at the front of the leaf spring mount between the rocker and frame rail?
The black one behind you when you are talking about the Cuda is a great ride.
Nice educational video
Dual circuit brakes systems became mandatory in 1967 not 68. Crazy prices on some of those cars - especially the projects. What those people don't realize is that the cost to restore has also gone way up.
72 Demon's had the rib on the trunk lid. The 71 were flat. I've owned 2. One I purchased new in 1971. Same color green. My current 340 Demon is Hemi Orange. 4 speed with 14,300 original miles. Flat trunk lid. Double fender tag car. It's a wing car too.
