I always make it to the end. Can't miss a ride with Pablo or a burnout. And today we had both. And one has to really appreciate a well equipped garage.
Had one identical same color and interior, long time ago the engine looks to be the same, it was a 273ci v8. It was fast enough with factory 180hp, for me back in the day.., it was plenty fast
Many many years ago a buddy of mine inherited one of those from her grandmother when she passed... Of course our crew of young men got together in a barn and put a mildly built 340 6 pack in it with a few other goodies .....That little Plymouth taught a lot of guys about sleeper granny cars
I assume this is a Canadian Plymouth Valiant Signet. The body sheet metal and even the front grill and rear tail lights are identical to what was sold in the States as a Dodge Dart. Nice find and good troubleshooting skills!
@@daDurvis No, it is, without a doubt, a 1965 Dodge Dart GT. It has the dorsal fin trim on top of the fenders, the Buick style portholes under the doors, the trim that goes over the roof, as well as the aluminum panel between the taillights. The only attempt that Chrysler made to disguise this car as a Plymouth is the Valiant symbol on the C pillars, which is where the GT emblem normally lives and, presumably, the hood ornament and the horn button, both of which had the Dodge triangle symbol. The 'Dodge' script on the hood was also omitted in favor of the 'Valiant Signet' badge on the fenders.
Haven't seen one of these in while. I think it's a good looking car. A decent set of wheels and tires and a little work inside would make good going to town car!
I spent probably 18 years begging an old guy to sell me his. He had a very strong 426 in it. Caged, tubbed, custom interior. I think I saw him drive it twice. Rest of the time it sat in a carport under a sheet.
Had one in 69 and 70, through my Tranport Canada course days. Bulletproof leaning tower of power and all. Ottawa city potholes broke both rear springs, so I took a couple of Dodge station wagon. Buddy in Winsor had one with a 340 and a 4 speed manual. Mine was quick but his was a freaking rocket. I love that one with a 440 and 6 pack under the hood, that would be an economic hot rod for an old guy like me.

My Auntie, a retired Nurse , had a 66 almost the same, She drove the wheels off hers, All over the country. The 273 in hers used a little oil, no biggie, ran strong, and was a decent little coupe. The trunk pockets in that one were a little crusty too. She Traded it in on a Coronet coupe. Would like to see it welded up to roadworthy Cheers!
That must have been a real nice when it was new,think it deserves to be improved upon,motor sounds good,lower quarters and floor need doing and probably the brakes going through.
It would have been a 273 or a 318 car. I'd give that a tech inspection which would take about 10 minutes and then feel confident that I could drive it from Halifax to Los Angeles. I'm a Slant-6 fan, but Mopar smallblocks are almost as tough. :)
@@bertgrau3934 Yeah, the old polysphere V8. I don't know much about them from a service standpoint. The Mighty Slant-6 and the Mopar smallblock V8 are my favorite engines.... my favorite engines; period. I like the Pontiac Iron Duke a lot, it was a low-speed torque monster. And the Ford 300 inline 6. And a Buick 3.8L V6 will always be welcome under my hood.

@@TheLawrenceWade I seen 1 guy he made more power with a poly head V8 than with a hemi, that was pretty impressive. Of course he bored and stroked it, don't remember how many cubic inches, he made over 500 horsepower, I realize there are a few Hemi's that make more than that, but I think he was talking about the 2nd generation of Hemi's the 426 cubic inch. I had a 1960 Dodge that had the 318 poly head engine, I have to admit, even with just a 2 bbl carburetor, it was pretty strong. It had the 2 speed Chrysler Powerflight transmission. It was a good transmission. Many times I would back up put the transmission in neutral floor it then shift it into Low gear, it was geared fast, but once the right rear tire broke loose it would burn rubber for about an 8th of a mile. The transmission had the push buttons for the shifter. My dad had a 64 Dodge station wagon that had the 318 , it had over 200,000 miles on it when me dad sent it to a salvage yard. No rebuild, or major work (his had the 3 speed TorqueFlight transmission)
Just wanted to say...that condenser on the coil is a static suppressor for the radio noise, has nothing to do with the points. And you really do need a fuel pump, it should have much more flow. Good job engine should run forever, in my youth I had a 62, 63, 66-s, 68 loved them all.
Darn, that little 273ci Mopar sounds great. This has to be one of your easiest will it run and drive and stop episodes yet. In it's day the styling was very unique for the time. I was just in my beginning 20s when this model came out. A pretty solid body for a Canadian vehicle. I am sure someone will give car a thorough restore if you decide to pass it along. Hot and humid here in East Texas, I hope your summer has been good to all my Canadian friends.
@LilOleMe I live just about 75 miles from Houston, no, wait, that was yesterday. Today I am only 70 miles away. I tell people that going to Houston is like putting a plastic bag over your head and trying to breathe with it on there.
I have a 1966 Plymouth Valiant 200 Slant 6cyl that I just saved & am about to try & get Running & Driving so I look forward to this Video! My Valiant was Built in the City I'm From Windsor ont Canada 🇨🇦
I took my driver test in a used 66 Signet. I was 16 yrs. old in 68. Ours only had a slant 6 and the head gasket blew at 60K. Mom liked it for its size, Dad did not, it was gone in two years.
I couldn't click on this video fast enough lol! 65 valiant black on red and it's a v8 awesome! I believe if you fix and keep this one you'll appreciate mopars! What a great car!
Your drone camera work sets you apart from all the other channels. As viewers we really get to see the beautiful landscape and the lastest vehicle as it enters and when you ride out with your trusty companion riding shotgun. Your camera work inside the shop is second to none, great job!
yes could not agree more on these amazing veiws we get of these cars and one man and his dog going down the road ! But i must say id like to hear the sound of the engine somehow, the music is understandable for the fact its drone footage, clearly ! But sure would be nice to hear the car run down the road and pass gears too !
I have the V8 Dodge 4 door version of this that I parked in the back yard in 1982. The reason it is still setting back there was the upper a-frame mounts rusted away. That was one of the rust out failure areas of these cars. The floors were perfect back then. Another victim of winter road salt.
Excellent example from that era. I love the body style. You can fix the few tweaks it has, like the bumpers and trim, and do the sheet metal repairs. You must know an upholstery guy to refurbish the bucket seats and headliner. Good find. Thanks Brent. Hi Pablo ! 👍😎🍺
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!
When I was in HS, 72 or so, buddy had a Valiant like that. Gold, 273 auto. His dad owned the local Dodge dealership, was a creampuff one owner creampuff. He dolled it up pretty nice. Not a fast car, but a nice cruiser.
my grandmother had a 66 valiant with the buzzin half dozen, the good old Slant 6 225 cid. She had it for 20 years and 33,000 miles. She crashed into the back of tow truck at age 87 and that was the end of that.
Not this one that'd be a power pack engine this is just a two barrel engine obviously the valve train noise cleared up hydrologic lifters pumped up he never cracked the valve covers and they'd be the power pack valve covers cool pill box style floor shifter very rare they didn't make tons of 65 Canadian valiants we had a 66 custom 200 convertible they only made 17 thousand and some of all 66 Canadian valiants do 65 must be lower but black with red gutscand a special factory shifter and 273 I'm sure not a lot
@@darwinfoster7420 you might be right I've never played with 273's personally but have had every year of 340 and every year of 440 had a D-3 truck 318 and a one ton 360 truck engine with heat treated crack factory
What a score I bet that's a 273 V8. Those are great engines forged internals and hard to kill what a score I love it and it's in great shape that thing is worth fixing and driving or even selling. If I lived closer to you I would buy it off you because all the Valiant's around here are all slant 6 cars and I would love to have a factory 273 car I even have a A-833 4 spd that would work great in that thing
I was four years old when this was built, cool it still exists! I’m not a big MOPAR guy buy I do like the looks and size of this little hot rod. Black with red and white interior, V8, bucket seats and console, maybe a limited slip diff the way it acted, what’s not to like? Plenty of car left here to work with. I like the trim on the roof and top of the quarters and front fenders, kinda outlines the whole shape and the three Chrome ports on the lower door/rockers is perfect. If ya wanna do some custom stuff, that front bumper area has a lot of potential for improvement and the roof is just a couple inches too tall (wink-wink).
@@davidsantos8206- aww, come on man, just an inch or two in the front? I agree the back window is nice but it looks just a little tall at the windshield.
I love this thing! I’ve never seen this model. Please, clean it up. Put some decent wheels and tires on it. I guarantee, you it will be a hit at any Car Show you bring it to.👍😎
American 1965 Valiants and Canadian Valiants are different. Here in the States it would be the 65 Dart. I have a 1965 Plymouth valiant Signet. it is different looking. My buddy had a 65 dart same exact car as your Valiant. Awesome find.
Congrats Brent, another awesome video, as always. Question... you have someone fly the Drone for you, correct..? Can’t imagine you driving & flying Drone at same time.
I like these types of channels, but I have trouble with too much handheld. Mustie1 seems to be the only one who doesn't overdo the handheld. Wish I could have kept watching, but got motion sickness after a while. Nice car!
May be the oil pressure sending unit leaking... easy fix once you get behind the engine and locate it- would also account for the low pressure reading. You also appear to have a little vacuum leak, maybe around the carburetor base;Want a little kick ?? If you can find the parts, when and if you rebuild it, change it over to the 273 high performance pistons and four barrel intake with a small Holley and a little hotter hydraulic cam( the solid lifter 273 Commando was hard to keep the valves adjusted in) and weld up a dual exhaust system, engine back. Convert it to electronic ignition, eliminates the hassle of the points- run it on a little higher octane - and it's a go !!
Thx for posting this. I had one of those in 1980. It had the 225 slant 6. Push button automatic. I loved that car. So much fun. Tough Vehicle. Keep up the good work Brother. Love the content. Love the pooch riding shotgun too. Great sidekick/ buddy.
Here i Europe is that car a Dodge Dart GT hardtop, Plymouth Valiant Signet is a total different model, but maybe they are different i US vs Canadian modells?
Great educational tutorial video on engine problem solving to get startup and running. You are the magic motor man when it comes to problem solving and fixing. Take care my friend.
I had a friend who had that in Windsor in 72 and 73, a black body like this one. Wonder if we're thinking about the same guy, I knew him when he was a janitor at the airport. He wouldn't run me with my u2 340 Dart Swinger though.
My only concern is that you may run out of cars to work on. Damn... that's practically brand new! An ity-bity v8... 273 cu in. 🖒🤠 PS: In the US, that was a Dodge Dart.
Brent,. If your ignition starts to only run on Start and not on run ....those old Mopars ran a ballast resistor on the firewall.. They were notorious for burning out especially after sitting a long period because the winding would rust running behind the ceramic....I'm sure you know you can bypass the ballast for a temporary fix to get 'er running
Man you just keep getting great classics. They are rare as hens teeth here in the states. You have a great collection. Brings back a ton of high school memories. Keep the Faith.
Excellent buy my friend great project car. Can’t wait to see what you’ll do with it if anything it will be an easy sell if you decide to do so. Keep up the great work shout out to you from Mexico.
Oh, I love this car. Always wanted one of these or a Belvedere. I wish I could get it. It looks great all things considered. Even love the Jellybean wheels. I'd redo the black paint and maroon interior.
Hi Brent that's a solid little car you got there not too many of those you see with a V8 in them most of them had a slant six that one is rare and it's worth a fair amount of money you did good.🇺🇲
I Just LOVE 60's/70's Mopar's. You appreciated it enough to buy the dern thing. In 1965 it was the 1st year they offered the Valiant with a V-8. It's a 273 most likely, unless the owner changed the motor at some point. Production numbers are low with less than 10k made. One thing i noticed was a single jar master brake cylinder. They are DANGEROUS. You have a Gem there Brent. Thank you for taking us along
I really like the outro music… it is very appropriate for what you have done to the old Valliant Signet, burn out and all. Not quite a silk purse, but not a sow’s ear either!!! Good job…

I like these types of channels, but I have trouble with too much handheld. Mustie1 seems to be the only one who doesn't overdo the handheld. Wish I could have kept watching, but got motion sickness after a while. Nice car!
273 has mechanical lifters. Probably could use valve adjustment.
May be the oil pressure sending unit leaking... easy fix once you get behind the engine and locate it- would also account for the low pressure reading. You also appear to have a little vacuum leak, maybe around the carburetor base;Want a little kick ?? If you can find the parts, when and if you rebuild it, change it over to the 273 high performance pistons and four barrel intake with a small Holley and a little hotter hydraulic cam( the solid lifter 273 Commando was hard to keep the valves adjusted in) and weld up a dual exhaust system, engine back. Convert it to electronic ignition, eliminates the hassle of the points- run it on a little higher octane - and it's a go !!
Thx for posting this. I had one of those in 1980. It had the 225 slant 6. Push button automatic. I loved that car. So much fun. Tough Vehicle. Keep up the good work Brother. Love the content. Love the pooch riding shotgun too. Great sidekick/ buddy.
Jew hav a goot won !!!
Learn how speak homie
Ok I will
You have a good one friend !!!!
Clean Air
Hi Brent, one and only custom roof liner and floor vents custom car one of a kind great car for the summertime has floor vents lol
The car you have is a dart gt 65
With a 273 could be the charger engine
A man and his dog ---out for a drive in a classic revived vehicle! Just as always, interesting video!
Here i Europe is that car a Dodge Dart GT hardtop, Plymouth Valiant Signet is a total different model, but maybe they are different i US vs Canadian modells?
Same chassis and body shell were used for both the Valiant and the Dart. The adornment pieces such as grill, lights, interior trim differ
What a cool Mopar. 😎 I think that car would be a easy sell. Pretty neat stuff 👌. Enjoyed the video
Super win, really nice Plymouth. A little T.L.C. would make it an everyday driver. Great score Brent. 👍👍👍
Age old problem: not enough screwdriver!
Great educational tutorial video on engine problem solving to get startup and running. You are the magic motor man when it comes to problem solving and fixing. Take care my friend.
I had a 273 4 speed with dual 4's small ones,, She was a real sleeper
cool car old mopars cant beat them i would make that a daily driver
Had a friend in Windsor had one of those with a 340 4speed manual transmission. It was one quick car. That was in 72.
I had a friend who had that in Windsor in 72 and 73, a black body like this one. Wonder if we're thinking about the same guy, I knew him when he was a janitor at the airport. He wouldn't run me with my u2 340 Dart Swinger though.
custom doors let the better half know your home keeps the mice out
My only concern is that you may run out of cars to work on.
Damn... that's practically brand new! An ity-bity v8... 273 cu in. 🖒🤠
PS: In the US, that was a Dodge Dart.
Yes for sure
When out of battery clamps use the vise grips
That was an easy one for you!!! It's amazing how you can get something that's been setting for years running... Great buy!!!
Brent,. If your ignition starts to only run on Start and not on run ....those old Mopars ran a ballast resistor on the firewall.. They were notorious for burning out especially after sitting a long period because the winding would rust running behind the ceramic....I'm sure you know you can bypass the ballast for a temporary fix to get 'er running
My bet that is a 273 solid lifter motor. The Valiants had them. The 318 was in their larger cars.
IS what they call the "poly" motor I think cuz of the poly locks and frequent adjustments
Man you just keep getting great classics. They are rare as hens teeth here in the states.
You have a great collection. Brings back a ton of high school memories. Keep the Faith.
Those were solid lifter engines on the 273 v8
Kinda like how you do different videos.
Nice VALIANT! This was a great find. It's a light car with a V8 means that it will go FAST!!!
your pater in crime loves the ride lol Pablo
Excellent buy my friend great project car. Can’t wait to see what you’ll do with it if anything it will be an easy sell if you decide to do so. Keep up the great work shout out to you from Mexico.
Like the content my friend
late model hemi would go real nice in there probly be pretty fast too
i love the country roads you live on............
Oh, I love this car. Always wanted one of these or a Belvedere. I wish I could get it. It looks great all things considered. Even love the Jellybean wheels. I'd redo the black paint and maroon interior.
Really think you got a good one there. The bucket seats look a lot like the ones in my 66 Mustang.
Lifter noise on those old 273/318s is common. Dump a quart of Rislone in it and she'll quiet right down. She's mint!
The 273 were solid lifters so only way to make it quieter is adjust them no oil is gonna do the trick
@@timatwell3728 you’re right! Totally forgot that
Take a look at a Dodge Dart exactly the same
Great job as always Brent! Love watching
Hi Brent that's a solid little car you got there not too many of those you see with a V8 in them most of them had a slant six that one is rare and it's worth a fair amount of money you did good.🇺🇲
Thanks for the adventure 👍😀
Finally some quality rebuild it
Keep the shifter and the seats...use in a future rat rod
Nice work Brent, glad to see it running again…
Used and abused.... Old and arrugado...
I Just LOVE 60's/70's Mopar's. You appreciated it enough to buy the dern thing. In 1965 it was the 1st year they offered the Valiant with a V-8. It's a 273 most likely, unless the owner changed the motor at some point. Production numbers are low with less than 10k made. One thing i noticed was a single jar master brake cylinder. They are DANGEROUS. You have a Gem there Brent. Thank you for taking us along
Hi-tech battery clamp Brent
Cool car, in the US, that's a dart. My uncle had one,he was an upholstery professionall. His cars always had nice interiors.
Dart was the Dodge badged version. Plymouth was always the Valiant.
The Canadian Chrysler branding also was different, the truck were called Fargo.
Nice start for a project build if you decide to go that path. Cool car. As always great content 👍👍👍
Looks like a fun little car. I like the older stuff a little more 😉
Nice! Always liked these.
I love that chrome trim on the top body line!
And those flat shelves under the hood are really cool and convenient.
That's how it is! pure personality✨
Brent that Plymouth with Black and Red Bucket Seats, Automatic Floor Shift with a Console and a 273 Cu.V8 is a Pretty Rare Car ,Worth Restoring 👌
I love you bring your best friend, to all exciting stuff. ❤️
He enjoys it, as much as you do, just being with you. All dogs are Angels. 🙏❤️
Dreaming again, wishing I'd have the means and opportunity to play with something like this!......... Thumbs Up!......
I really like the outro music… it is very appropriate for what you have done to the old Valliant Signet, burn out and all. Not quite a silk purse, but not a sow’s ear either!!! Good job…
are you selling the valiant
Excellent stuff! 😎👍😎
Nice car. I 'll bet it is fast as hell.
