Cheap Crusty Dodge 25-Year Cold Start!

- Hi! I thought we'd have a look at this sweet old Monaco I picked up from Agent 223... He didn't really need it, but I wanted the engine for a different project, so I went over and scooped it from his field and brought it back here... I figured we should try to start the Monaco to see if the 225 slant six was still in good shape so I could use it for my other car. She's a weird old car with a 3 speed standard transmission, which I have never seen in one of these models...
I'm putting up a new garage this weekend, so I am busy with that, but we will be back on the Fury Splice project next week! Hope you guys are looking forward to it as much as I am; I cannot wait to get it ready for paint now that the majority of the welding is done!

That bass thump Fender super reverb?
Tom’s new toy all green and yellow,
Makes a sound so sweetly mellow
While he pushes rusted scows about.
Frankers grabs whatever’s handy,
A big old stick will do just dandy…
If she could talk she’d give a happy shout.
It’s one more day at Cold War Motors,
And count us all as Cold War doters,
Waiting for that weekly slug of fun.
It don’t take much to make us happy,
A good cold brew and then a nappy,
But ain’t it great to see them old turds run?

Editor’s Note: Well, The Goddamn Poet slithered back in after I ruptured the retirement fund to keep the bookies from taking Wifey hostage until I paid up over the little rat bastard's misfires on that straight eight race. I was gladly willing to go for that deal until she informed me of the consequences of such an inspired move.
I'm looking forward to seeing both the Fury splice and the Citroen painted.
Dear@@AcmeRacing
??? What do you mean? Do you mean about in this decade? :-) ;-)
Best regards luck and health.
I'm psyched to learn that more work on the Fury Splice is imminent!
"Is there any way to stop that buzzer before I put a gun in my mouth?" Classic!
There used to be a kind of reverse spring clamp with a rubber cup on one jaw and a cup on the other for holding the door jam button to turn off that god awful buzzer (or dinger, depending on the car). It was actually called a Sanity Tool, LOL.
Edit: I found one: www.grainger.com/product/WESTWARD-Door-Buzzer-Sanity-Tool-1EKP8
My dad used to keep the door open all the time hoping the buzzer would die. It only sounded worse! And you couldn't take them out, or other stuff wouldn't work.
When I hear that buzzer it takes me back to my childhood.
My first car was a 74 Mercury Comet with a door buzzer and another buzzer if you didn't have your seat belt on. You actually had to have the seat belt on or lift your butt off of the seat to start it. Anyway I tracked down the buzzers and took them out.
First thing, I would do after buying a car is take a screwdriver to the buzzer's.
I love the car show idea for this atrocity! Dealer brochures on the seat. Trailer it to the shows. Mirrors under it, the velvet theater ropes around it.. The possibilities are limitless!
@@aliceshaw8265 - Ha! My buddies and I were just talking about that creepiness.
The uber idea is way cool too. Survivor class at the car show🍻
@@aliceshaw8265 my friend dressed up as Michael Jackson for Halloween. He put a time out kid face first on his crotch with the arms around his waist. Best costume ever!
I had a 1973 4 door dodge monaco 383 4 bbl flood - o - matic carb, guaranteed to not start well in under 30 degree temps. Burn ALL the fuel everyone on board could afford to put in it, well before the night was over. A heating system that was a toss up between heat from the headers or the feeble wisp of warmth the heater core provided - blower on high of course. Burgundy body paint with a darker burgundy vinyl roof.
$400 down from $500. Got it from an older guy in newton mass right out of the garage it was kept in, it filled the entire garage 4 inches to close the garage door was left. 67k miles and change - minty. It was in very good visual condition. Guy said i was the 3 rd person to call about the car
and the only one willing to look at it after a month. I swear it was jetted for a much larger engine ran super rich. With some help from friends, we
disabled the secondaries and smaller jets in the primaries got it running really well. New heater core after flushing the block. Man the white stuff that came out after 5 or 6 times flushing it, killed the core and it leaked all over the front floor carpet. Somewhat affordable to drive after the carb fix. I really loved that cruise ship, had it for 6 years. Dead reliable no matter how cold it was. A great car once it got a good going over. But parking was a problem it was two space car and in the boston area that was always hard to do. I learned a trick, get on the bumper of the car in front and in 1st, push the cars until no more would move. Reverse repeat and you have a space to park. Beats walking a mile or more for a space in 4 degree weather. 6 people could sit in it no problem. 5 was the norm. Not at all a good highway car, it amazed me how much gas it burned at only 55 mph. Leaving the state was a major investment in fuel. Something i thought was odd was the back window blower. One of the 6x9 speaker cutouts had a hose from the blower motor in the trunk. Needed it with 5 peoples hot air fogging all the glass in winter time.
I miss the ship of a car.
I thought the 383 stopped in '71.Maybe someone put it in.
@@231gnx I had it in '86 a few years out of high school. 2nd car really, 1st one was a '73 dart swinger 318 rust bucket for $200.
That car liked gas too. No the monaco was my 2nd car and i was more into trying to get girls than cars.I only think it was a 383 because it was big, it probably was a 360.
And i really spent no time under the hood.
As was popular in the day also smoked a fair amount of dope, so memory would not be a clear thing back then. I could change oil not much more than that back then.
And i was proud of it too. I only used what i learned in school in my late 20's.My 3rd car a '71 chevy nova forced me to learn how to fix things. A shit box in every sense of the word. $50 tow it home, red with black vinyl top and a dead 307 engine. That car taught me about how how to fix things. I only learned because i had to. I had a chiltons book and friends better with cars than i was. Two years that car sat in the driveway
with flat tires and no battery. Half taken apart all over the place. I bought a lot of beer and weed getting help with that turd.
the engine was bad the rocker studs had pulled a bit, so when i figured it should be okay it was far from it. It was that right there, the light went on and i got it to run well. How? i drilled and tapped the stud hole for screw in studs - on my own.
I stopped being a dumb ass right then.
Front end parts made sense ball joints idler arm off the box and i got it mostly together.
Intake leaked air, don't ask how i figured that out. I took some night classes at boston college in automotive technology.
Fancy way to charge money for teaching how to fix engines and drive trains.
Sorry for going long but memories have a way of doing that. Today i fix my own cars and have for a lot of years. And i don't stumble my way thru, i actually understand what is going on. Better than some guys who do it for a living do. Some.
Have a good. I got bad back problems so i don't sleep much.
Worked for the Largest Dodge Dealer in the 7 New England States....for two years, 1977 and 1978, 10 acres of new Dodges.....I NEVER ever saw a 225 coupe with a three speed on the column.. That's a rare one!!!! Great Find, so cool!
Hey, I thought you might get a kick outta this one! Cheers from here, boss!
Slant 6
>sits for 20+years
>fires up first crank with a battery and some gas down the carb
>best engine ever
The Ford garage in the small town in New York where I grew up closed in the mid-70s, leaving only a Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge dealership within 30 miles. The result was that most of the locals, including my parents, drove Chrysler products. I worked at an Exxon gas station while I was in high school and changed the oil on all manner of Malaise-era Chrysler products--Volares, Diplomats, Town & Country wagons, Scamps, Valiants and the occasional Cordoba with fine Corinthian leather. The majority of these stalling, sputtering slugs on wheels had the 225 Super Six coupled to a Torqueflite automatic. Not only did this engine/transmission combo produce random, near-fatal driveability characteristics--stalling when attempting to pull out onto a highway--but they also delivered horrid gas mileage and abysmal performance in the process. Very rarely did a car with a 318 or 360 come in for a lube job (grease and oil/filter change), and when one did it was always a column-shifted automatic. I would have been overjoyed had anything rolled in with a manual transmission, but I never came across any three-pedal Pentastars during my tenure with Big Oil. Too bad the Monaco is such a rust bucket as it's a wicked oddball and a great runner. Good luck with transplanting the motor into the Fury I.
David - spot-on with everything you said.
WE had Fords,Chevies,Mopars, and a VW.The VW never had a problem.
The Fords would never start,The Mopars would burn up from backfiring caused by erratic ignition timing from the "Computer" ,and Chevies with 307/350 had the HP cut in half,so it struggled to lug around the 2.5 ton monster as it swam around town and the highway getting 7-8 mpg
I had 318/904 Belvidere pushbutton that was faster than a mustang 302 or a Camaro 307,even Javelins were that slow
It was already 12 years old ,100k
David, I used to have a 318 4 speed Volare wagon with buckets and console, such a fun and odd car!
David Wiggins
I worked as a drivability Technician back then and was able to cure about 60% of the stalling problems on those cars. The cold, humid days were really bad. I converted a few from the lean burn disaster to the older electronic system and cured some problems. I sure don't miss those days.
@@QuanticChaos1000 Now that sounds like a fun car. Wish one of those had come by the station while I was working there!
It doesn’t matter what the content is, I always know that I am going to have a good time and a laugh when I click on a CWM upload. 👍👍☮️
Ain't that the truth. The sarcasm is just priceless. I'm sitting here alone in a hotel room, on a business trip, laughing out loud like a crazy person.
" my dad bought one of these new I remember thinking even then our old car was nicer " pretty much says it all
I had a 1978 4 Dr Ford LTD II as a company car that I hated. It did have AM FM, full wheel covers, and a V8 with automatic. Living in Texas it had AC I now feel superior to the poor bastard that drove this 1978 Monaco. Thanks for showing us this true turd from Dodge.
The last car my Grandfather bought was. White 1967 Fury II with full size hub caps, AC and AM. No power steering or brakes, but with a 318 auto. He had already retired and drove it under 40k miles the next 20 years. It was garaged always and still mint when he passed away.
WOW you really brought back memories with this video.
A Radio Shack AM-only single-speaker aftermarket radio -- I don't think you can get more base than that. The car started out base, and somehow the owner found a way to modify it to be even *more* base! 😂😂😂
Many, many, MANY years ago, I bought a 60 Plymouth with a slant six that was seized for ten bucks and the guy even towed it home for me. I pulled the plugs, filled the cylinders with trans fluid, and let it sit for a week. When I got back to it, I worked the engine back and forth for a while until I got it to roll all the way around. I put a battery in it and rolled it with the starter until I had most of the oil out of it, put the plugs in and it fired right up. I drove that heap for two years before I sold it for two hundred. Just goes to show you can't kill most slant sixes. Had fun watching this one and it brought back memories.
I would have loved that 78 Dodge with all my heart! The rust made me cry. This was a real tear-jerker!
"Ya had ta rrrreeeeeeeeaaally want a three-on-the-tree by 1978..."
I freakin' LOVE three-on-the-tree cars....and have one that I drive all the time.
Three on the tree,mated to the almost invincible, Leaning Tower of Power. "Priceless"
That might be the rarest "optioned" Monoco I've ever seen. I think you should take to Barrett-Jackson as an untouched original.
Oh Man!
I have been dealing on a Coronet like that for about twenty years!
The guy is the original owner and it's highly optioned with a 400 Hp, B5 blue with a white and blue bucket seat interior.
Funny story from the 90's is I broke the torsion bar on my 1966 Fury II and I drove it for a few months with a 2x4 for suspension lol!
From the darkest days of the big three and exactly why the Japanese cars took over.
Alberta! Great to see a fellow Canadian producing car restoration videos. In a prior life I got into doing bodywork and painting when my 1970 Torino began rusting out. I rebuilt it twice over about 10 years, and ended up fixing cars for friends. Probably painted 50 cars in the 80's. Some turned out great, some not.. My favourite were a model T and a model A.
From Bill in Ontario
puttying the engine in that fury is a PERFECT idea. Love how smooth that motor ran!
I love it because it's malaise era junk, I became completely enamored when I saw the 3rd pedal. I went across the country once for a 3 speed Malibu I might do it again for a 3 speed Dodge, I've been on the hunt for another colossal waste of money. Everyone has to have a hobby right haha. Cheers from Nova Scotia fellas keep up the good work.
It’s not just a Fury, it’s a Fury I. Another thrifty (cheap) customer.
Honestly I'd rather drive malaise era junk than modern junk, least the 70's cars look cool.
These 3 speed Malibus were initially ordered by Iraq. The Malibus were shipped back and many were sold in Canada. Was it a 1981 model?
@@jamespn it is an 81, they were built here in Canada half were shipped over and we got stuck with the other half. Got a few vids of her on my channel check her out
@@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge Early malaise era cars looked cool, except for the 5 mph bumpers. By the late 70's most were as boxy and bland as could be. I prefer current cars even though they all look like river stones.
That leaner 6 firing right up on the first crank isn't unbelievable at all to those of us who know and love that engine. One of the very best and most reliable of all time.
Wow, that is a very rare car with that slant six and three on the tree. I like it.
Yeah, I am bummed they are going to part it out. I think it's pretty sweet the way it is. I would at least fix the torsion bar and mock-up a gas tank and drive it for a while.
Dodge 225 slant six "THE LEANING TOWER OF POWER!" Can't beat that engine.
The 318 was the closest to the slant 6 when it came to durability. The 318 V-8 & 225 /6. Would run till there was nothing left of the sheet metal. Both were the least expensive to do maintenance.
Mine has been doing well since 1963.
The late 70's were tough times particularly for Chrysler.
All of the Big Three really sucked in the late 70’s.
Well look at what they did...they took the b body from what it could be as a '69 Charger and turned it into this. Sometimes corporations earn their failure.
Those who were fortunate enough to not have been alive during the mid-late 70's have little or no concept of what a bleak and miserable time it was.
@@superhet7281 Yes, but GM and Ford sucked profitably. Chrysler had to be bailed out by the government.
That is the perfect "my life is almost over"car...she's tight...I love it!
Had a 1975 "Road Runner" in the mid eighties, 400,/4bbl, shift on the floor, white bucket seat interior, black paint with white stripes. Was a nice car very smooth driving car and just fast enough to play nice with the 5.0s and Irocs of the day, unfortunately the roads and salt here in Newfie ate that thing away to nothing.
To me that two door Monaco from 1978 was the poor man's Cordoba / Charger, same B body platform. Six cylinders with a manual transmission and base trim were a lot of times ordered by the dealer as a price leader to have on the lot for the tight fisted buyer. I had an uncle like that back then that bought cars like that, Ford Falcons & Chevrolet Chevelles that were sixes with three on the tree with no radio but had to have a cigarette lighter of course.
You have a really kind grandpa vibe
One time in a Los Angeles junkyard I stumbled into the "to be crushed" section, and found a BASE '72 Dart 2 door, power nothing, deleted everything, 225 slant six with a 3 on the floor. That car didn't even have a spot of rust on it, and I tried to buy, it but the owner of the junkyard kicked me out because I had "entered a restricted section of the yard" (there were no signs marking it as such). Needless to say, I was absolutely livid.
The only YT video I watch at normal speed, enjoy every minute and thinking about newbies stopping by wondering what weird time/space reality this is all about....
She's above average when you consider period correct deterioration
Yup, if it was period-correct for a Canadian car it would be a rusty stain on the ground...
Spray a little CLR on that car and it'd disappear.
Another quality American made product
Gotta love it when something that old just fires right up and runs so smooth. Good find. *:-)*
When I was in high school, a friend of mine had a '77 Plymouth Fury. Same body style as that Monaco. It was a plain jane like your Monaco. Slant six, manual steering, three speed manual trans. The only option on it was factory air conditioning that still worked. He beat the hell out of that car and it just ran and ran and ran.
Sounds like my base model 1993 Ford Taurus GL no cassette player am FM radio. Power windows . AC. 50/50 split front bench seat . 3.8 Essex V6 . auto 4 speed on the column. Bought it from my elderly great aunt who was 85 back in 2010 for $800. I've abused that car and it keeps going . but got tired of fixing it all the time. I bought a dodge ram 1500 outdoorsman in February
I 🎥this program many years ago I still remember the episode Lord ⌚ it's going to fast ⏩ for me ✌️ for All 🖐️
Those old boats were my first cars. I had a 76 Charger a 78 Cordoba them moved on to square body chev trucks. They were big and comfortable and for the most part, reliable.
Flashback to a time when there was no tomorrow.
That reminds me of a student driver program. Pull the engine, pull the interior, put in a 440 with auto.
Gidday, when this car was new, the dealer sold this model as the "Poverty Pack 2", you really do not want to see a "Poverty Pack 1".
That bass tone is very base👻 Love it. God bless Ginger Baker.
My buddy Bob in Manhattan had this body as a Plymouth "Roadrunner" with the 360 automatic. Tape stripes and beep beep horn!
Also Scott hooray for Deans return and by the way I do kinda like the style the NEW Packard has, kinda ready chopped down and I'm glad to see Frankers happy with her first time in snow, our cat Charley who used to be an outdoor cat escaped out the front door felt the 50's breeze and went right back in, he gotten to be a pretty much indoor cat, but still loves to go in the back porch and see the woods in summer. Again thanks for being a fun channel I look forward to when I get home Saturday evening, Cheers to all.
Every time you have Jim in your videos I always think of old NASCAR footage. He looks like he could have been Richard Petty's chief mechanic in 1977.
" You wouldn't want to be getting that donut filling on the cassettes anyway " Lmao 😂😂😂
A bleary eyed Sunday morning after a hard weeks work. I'm having my breakfast at the 'puter coz I know I've got another episode of CWM to watch. It makes my week bearable. Thanks fellas, most appreciated. That slant 6 is a rock solid motor.
Showed this to my son and he said he bought one in N.Carolina when he got out of the service. He paid one hundred dollars for it and drove it from the base to Washington state with all his clothes in the back and in the back seat. He said that everything he owned was in the back and it weighed another three hundred pounds of Georgia clay and Texas dust plus California pollin so when he got home the clothes were ruined but he got twenty plus miles to gallon.
You know that you could put a hood on a turd and Dean would drive it... the world needs more deans so that the old cars and mrs Cleaver would still be around. My boy said by the time he got to washington with the car, a kid on a bicycle passed him and the kid was just learning to ride so he wobbled past him.
Wow, that engine purred like a kitten. Unreal! Glad you can use it to save something better! Look forward to more Fury!
The famous "Leaning Tower of Power" Probably a fairly rare car given the drivetrain combo. But you're right. Totally not worth fixing.
Not worth fixing? I'd enjoy that as a driver.
@@5610winston I meant from a financial point of view. To pay someone to fix all the rust perforation would be cost prohibitive.
Agreed. Too much weight reduction in too many places. And Scott's right....that dash is just depressing, corporate garbage, especially when compared to the Fury's.
I had a 66 plymouth fury 2 with a 318. Powder blue. She ran sweet! Had her up to 110 mph with no problem!
Too bad it is so rusted, there can not be very many like it, maybe one of the last one's in existence ! I have a mint 1978 Newport, 360 C.ID. . In 1979-80 , Chrysler declared bankruptcy. This car was what caused their bankruptcy. These cars, like my Newport would not idle and were hard to start and were rust buckets. I had to eliminate the ''lean burn'' and get the accel kit to keep my Newport road worthy. From about 1975 to 79 Chrysler cars were terrible. The left over 79's were sold off as 1980 models. Thankyou Lee Iacocca for saving Chrysler !
The camera even tried to end it's life rather than film such a thing! Your air tank wasn't forgotten, It was hiding! I'm10:30 into the show I bet even rodents didn't move into the car. It reminds me of the 76 Fury loner we got when our 75 Scamp was in for service. Always a Great show! You look awfully Preppie in them glasses soon you'll switch from Beer to wine.
I like the lines of this old girl.
Slant 6 engines died out in Australian cars in the late 60s.
The Leaning Tower of Power! Gotta love 'em. I had one in a 76 Valiant with the same electronic ignition. Absolute crap of a malaise body but a wonderful driving car that I used as a daily driver about ten years ago.
Dan is always excited. Ladies like that.
I love how you guys can find the beauty in a base piece of, well I won't say what!!
Can almost match it. I bought new a 1976 Dodge Aspen wagon with Slant 6 and 3 on the tree. Later, I got married and the wife could not take the manual steering. I personally switched it to power steering in the freezing garage. The problem that came up was finding a link to join the steering column and the gear box. I couldn't! So the the salvage guys cut the existing link short to what was needed. It worked, so what can I say, but I worked out in my mind that you probably could not have ordered power steering with the manual transmission and Slant 6. Never was happy with fuel economy and some runability issues.
Love the old slant 6 .Have a great day guys
The Super 6 was a mean little motor. I had a 79 Volare 4 door that had 700k MILES on it and it ran great. I could get that bastard to go about 110 mph flat out. 35 mpg too. I had the rare towing package..lol 3.08 rear axle and lockup torque converter. hahaha. Mine was white with that headache red interior..power everything and a/c. It worked too!! I slapped a better 2bbl Carter on it though. Never had no stalling issues with it. My R body 79 Chrysler Newport 318 didnt have the stall problem after i swapped an air cleaner from a 79 Cordoba 360 on it...the potting loved to melt out of that lean burn crap, making them run bad
Had a volare with that steering wheel and when it went over 85 degrees it turned into molten goo . So f in nasty .
It is an amazing how the more base a car is the better it runs,LOL
Yes, jackpot, bullseye. My wife is having a bath.
Thanks for the update on the wife. Give her our love.
"Works for me" - car, but two-door! "Hunter" TV-series with Fred Dryer. Loved it!
Scott, your postings are always eagerly anticipated and heartily appreciated! Was working on my cab over Studebaker all morning and got to come home and enjoy your video with lunch. A great day indeed!
Hilarious episode! Just YT gold!
So I love that some cheap bastard popped out the radio delete plate to slide in that Realistic AM only radio!
Fantastic video! I really like these Chrysler electronic ignition boxes. The last couple of times I bought a set of points and condenser, I had a dead out of the box condenser and the points bounced lol Ike a bad check. Then I put in electronic ignition in my Imperial and keep a spare box in the glove box.
@@Rick-S-6063 Yes! I keep a spare ballast resistor as well. Don't know how I forgot to mention that.
Back in the '70s I had a '68 Valiant slant six, single barrel 3 on the tree. What a great engine that was! Took up to 4 people all over south east Australia.
What would be known in Australia's as a poverty pack
Yeah, Hubnut refers to them as "poverty spec".
You guys got the amazing Chrysler hemi 6 though. Like the Ford Barra..screamers
That was the kind of car your father would look at to get you as a first car back in the '80's. Well, in better shape - slightly. I never even knew you could get the car so stripped down in 1978. One thing I must say though, if you did get that back in shape, you'd get a lot of attention at a car show for just how oddball it is! It would look even more stripped-down with blackwall tires.
Cool rare car. I have a ‘77 Monaco sedan with the police package, only a 318 though. Wasn’t aware that these were even available in manual. Cool video, subscribed.
As always,Scott,you don't disappoint! Slant 6's are hard to kill! And yes,they have been used in early full size Dodges! And pickups!
Hi to Dean!
Thanks Scott for the videos!
best idea you've had eh. That fury needs to be back on the road. And the slant will go 200,000 easily. go for it!
Scott, I think the ole "leaning tower of power" would be great in the 1967 Plymouth Fury. Those 225 slant sixes are very durable engines. I am looking forward to future videos on the slant six transplant.
Jim the sarcasm king. Always awesome when he’s on the show and his car collection is killer. Even that Monaco, that I would’ve left where I found it, is pretty cool in a weird oddball sorta way. Cheers guys. Happy Thanksgiving.
The agents on this show simply cannot walk away from a rare-but-no-one-cares car like that, ironically.
The 225 slant 6 is one solid engine! And 4 door cars are under rated so awesome project!
I like that! When you mentioned cop cars it reminded me of the 79 St. Regis my mom drove when I was a teenager, I actually loved that car, 318 with the "Lean Burn" system!
Just watched the last video again with Peter Anderson and now I’m binge watching his channel to catch up. Great stuff.
Nice episode boys. loved Frankers going wild in the snow - bless her
OMG a 3 on the tree, slant 6, 1978 Monaco. I had no idea one of these were ever made!
My eyes hurt from looking at the Dodge Monaco. Frankers has more energy than a toddler who has had a Mountain Dew, and a dozen sugar cookies.
I love the work you do on these cars and I am so glad you are saving them. This 78 Dodge is so rare and it runs, you should save it too.
Ha ha!!! I think that’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone describe a dash as depressing, but that’s an oddly accurate description! 😂. The 3 on the tree’s fun factor would counter act the dash’s depressing effects.
NEVER SAW THAT MODEL WITH THE 6 AND 3 SPEED WOW . THAT WAS NOT A CHEAP MODEL BUT ALL CAR COPANYS WERE LOOKING FOR BETTER GAS MILAGE ANY WAY THEY COULD GET IT, EVEN IF WAS A STUPID IDEA. THAT 6 IS A GREAT ENGINE THOUGH. BLESS YOU REAL CANADIANS.
I am willing to bet Dean will love the car and I mean love it. He will see all the great potential in it. My mother had either a 67 or 68 Fury 1 that was totally base except it had a 318 with an automatic. It was a great car, it ran for ever, it had something like 160,000 miles on it and need plugs so I moved the heater hose to make it easier to put one in and it tore into, I looked and it was original. I put another hose on it and it ran for years more. No frills but it did run forever.
Good job lads. Looking forward to the 67 Fury project & really looking forward to the continuation of the 60 Fury splice project.
You guys have a lot of patience. If All I needed was the engine I'd have found a spot, chained the rear to a tree and pulled the trailer from underneath it. Great video guys. Love the channel, thanks for sharing.
I always liked the lines on that model, and the double-bend to the shifter on the stick-shift models looked purposeful.
Looks like Rosco P. Coltrane's patrol car after he drove it into the pond and left it for 20 years. Good to see the Fraser is still cruising
I owned a 77 Monaco back in the early 1990's it was a 2 door buckets,console,sport mirrors ,factory 360 4 barrel duel exhaust rallye wheels..Very good handling cars,quiet,smooth and quick with the no smog stuff and no cats..Easily peeled the tires off we clocked it 5.8 0-60 14 flat 1/4..Yes I ran down the track..
750 holley carburetor,duel plane intake added..Reliable too I had it 8 years and 95,000 miles on the 120,000 mile car already..(20,000 on the odometer as 5 digit but owner was honest and I know cars,most would think it was 20,000 as it was really good shape)..
These are very good built cars,but like any car of the era if you dont take care of them,they rust!
I repainted it black ,new black top,had factory black interior that I had the front driver seat redone,seam split......Really liked it, but owning a like new 1968 Charger RT and restoring a 69 Charger RT. I found a sweet Magnum GT I wanted instead so I sold this to a older car collector guy form my car club(joined a club to get scoops on parts,cars and help lol)I own the Magnum GT and both 68 and 69 Charger RT today still..
I added 1978-1979 Magnum GT / Aspen /Volare Super Coupe wheels they are like cop car wheels but wont accept dog dish caps as the center is different,has center caps instead..That really set the car off,and like all my cars lowered the front torsion bars a few inches for better handling and NO it doesnt wear the front ends out..My Magnum has 400,000 miles driven like this!! I drove then and still drive 100 miles per day to my dealer/office daily...I did back then when I started but,I lived 180 miles the opposite way.
Had a
78 with a 318 manual shift and it was a coupe
My family always had some sort of Chrysler. But went to something GM in the mid 80s. A few family members bought fords which we had to go rescue regularly. It was common to have a Chrysler towing the broke down ford in the family.
Slant six? That's all we ever needed!
3 speed on the tree was standard with a 318. The slant six came standard with the 904 auto. It must have been custom ordered with a slant six and a 3 speed. It’s rare indeed. I dig the orange reverse warning light. Looks like it was a radio delete. This thrifty customer bought a realistic (Radio Shack) am radio so he could listen to CKLW late at night all the way in the farm lands of Alberta.
Your new glasses look great Scott!
Very cool!
Cooler than that Dodge!🤣
Slant six, three on the tree, no power steering and the cheapest radio you could buy. The perfect car for someone with no self esteem. The stacked square headlights are a real winner too hahah. At least the engine will be going to something stylish. Cheers.
From my youth back in the early 60's and in 1968 at 15 yrs. old when I bought my first car and it was gold to me, it was a 1955 Studebaker Champion 2dr. v-8 auto. I bought it from Studebaker of Omaha dealership for 90.00 dollars and my grandpa drove it home for me. I started first with my dream magazine, J.C. Whitney for fixing it up and building a dream list that was just that, a dream. I wish you would do a Studebaker video sometime, How many Studebaker's do you have? I think I saw one. I got my love for Studebaker from my Gramps that had many Stude's back then. Another favorite of his & mine were 49,50,&51 Fords. This is why I love your channel and watch every one you post.
CWM. The most fun you can have with old cars without getting your hands oily!
I like it, it has good hub caps and a slant 6!
Very nice machine so high end and with that extrema high powered SLANT SIX
you would almost have to special order that monaco being so stripped out. I'm sure its cheaper just to send a slant six out with the basic automatic transmission.
Its almost more work to put in the radio delete and 3spd column shift. cool video once again. my 80 volare at least had AM radio as a 4 door slant 6 automatic - thanks for the memories Scott!!
And the two hundred year old Volkswagen...I mean slant six comes to life!!
That feeling when you think the video is going to end, but it's a coldwarmotors video... the 67 Fury is going to be a great car Scott, can't wait.
