- Hey guys! This week we're going to try to fire up the 1952 Pontiac that was shut off in 1968! Agents 4639 and 7889 are on the scene to help out and record the chaos for posterity... Then: Agent 0842 has brought over his freshly-assembled 1988 BMW M3 that he has fitted with a later-model engine, and he's going to let me take it for a drive!
I'm off to the Vintage Tractor Pull this weekend, so wish me luck and I'll try to get some footage of the adventure!

@@tomtheplummer7322 Pete or repeat?
0'man less have it for 1952 Pontiac IT A FINE RUNNER = WOW 🤩🥰.....THANKS AGENTS AND OF COURSE FRANKERS
Shoe🇺🇸
All your movies are great but this one of the 52 Pontiac was inspiring it got me wanting to get up out of bed and really do something with cars again
I'm glad Tom is your neighbor.
I think that Pontiac deserves to become a driver again. Make it safe, just enough body work to keep the headlight from falling off and a useable interior.
I could listen to Tom all day long..."Cookin eggs on a shovel..." This stuff is GOLD!!
Like a grilled cheese sandwich on a radiator...
Cooking burritos on a manifold
A lot of servicemen came back with their eggs scrambled. Remember.
Absolutely agree
The world could do with more Tom's to keep us on an even keel
Hahahahaha, I've replayed the moment where Pontiac puts its sixth leg in the game at least 5 times.. that's the opposite of a tearjerker, smiling ear to ear every time. What a pleasure!!
Glad Dr. Tom stopped by to tell us stories.
The poor Pontiac engine was jumping with excitment when first revived, but soon calmed down when it realized that the car surrounding it has a 0% chance of ever seeing the road again. I love the contrast between the Pontiac and Ashley's super clean M3, as well as the absurdity of stealing gas from a weedwacker in the dark. Great show this week!
Thanks boss... Glad you got a laugh like we did! Ash's car is just magic... Luckily I didn't spend enough time in it to get completely hooked and ruin my life...Cheers buddy!
The real contrast between the Pontiac and the BMW was the Pontiac was steel and leather embellished with chrome and upholstery. The BMW was plastic embellished with plastic covered with leather. We've come a long way with cars but lost the art of cars.
@@kilroysmith6539 M3’s have redeeming qualities
@@mfmf100 I don't mean to hate on the BMW I just think we've lost something in car design. Yes we gained horsepower, fuel economy and manufacturing efficiency. If you look at today's cars of similar size from a distance they all look like they were cut out of the same piece of clay. I guess I've become jaded I've owned too many new cars that looked like everybody else's.
Better look carefully. Knowing Scott, it might be a big dwacker.
Man- watching this episode, I couldn't help but tell "YES!" out loud when the Pontiac smoothed out an ran on all 6! Well done!
I did the same.
Ok spoiler alert. Lol
Astounding to watch the old mill come back to life . Thanks agents.
I wasn’t gonna crack my first wobble pop until CWM started. I get to start an hour early🍺👍🏻😉
I sure heard it when she started running on all 6. That plus 40 pounds of oil pressure! That was amazing. Cheers.
Finally this was.the quickest notification i got from cwm
Nice work, as always! I have a 49 Pontiac Streamliner with an 8 that has 65k on it, no rebuild, runs well, doesn't overheat, good oil pressure, smooth idle, run all day at 65 mph, driving it is like riding in a time machine. Nice cars for patient drivers, which most drivers were 70 years ago.
I had to rewind the video a couple of times, to see again the moment the Poncho six smoothed out. Damn, that car is awesome! Loved the happy music accompanying the first drive, it was really appropriate.
It was fascinating how it sputtered a couple last times then poof…. I’m good and it smooths right out.
Great to hear another old "flattie" come back to life. Been close to fifty years since I got to run and drive one of those Pontiacs.
Moving under its own power. That was borderline miraculous!! I love it!!!
Early this week! Let the show begin!
I was thinking how that Pontiac went into a coma in 1968 with all the world going nuts with civil unrest,vietnam war,riots etc,and now awakes and nothing has changed.Amazed that it cleared itself out and moves under its own power.Ash did some nice work on that beamer.
I always thought it was funny how Chevrolet always hyped their overhead valve 6 as the next best thing since fresh fruit and yet the next step up the GM ladder you got a pontiac flat head!
Great seeing the Pontiac running and driving! With this lower-line model, you can really see from the side how much it resembles a Chevy. I love the Silver-Streak bands of chrome they used.
Grinning ear to ear for this whole episode. Daddy's gotta steal some gas! You guys are the best.
Always makes my day love you Frankers Cold WarMotors makes my weekend so much better 😁😁😁😁👍💟
Tom's drunk builder stories are really funny. Thanks for the laughs.
Tom is a national treasure.
Tom isn’t a national treasure. Tom is an INTERNATIONAL TREASURE
Just as I thought the poor old Pontiac was going to be cast aside as 'Junk', it burst into life on all six cylinders. Now, has anybody got some NOS front fenders? Another worthy resurrection.
Another excellent video! Was cool seeing Mark and love Tom's stories as always. I smiled stupidly when that Pontiac evened out! I change my prior vote - I recommend this great Pontiac for fixing up! Not restoration per se but a good cleaning up. We can see it wants to live!!
I have a '40 Pontiac with the flat head 6 and that is exactly how they run! Great job!
'52 Pontiac running like new - beyond amazing and beyond incredible work, Scott and agents - another triumph !!!
As a Pontiac fan, it warms my heart to see the old 52 come back to life. The "waterfall" chrome down the center of those cars is so unique. And Ash has a pretty cool collection of vehicles. That M3 looks like fun.
Great job on the old Pontiac Scott. That Tom killed me with his story of the guy cooking eggs on a shovel🤣🤣🤣 damn near spewed my beer out!!
CWM right on time with the dead flowers rolled up...Cheers!
Robbing the weed whacker for fuel was fabulous. That's what we used to call Midnight Auto Parts. Reminds me of the time we were performing final maintenance checks on a WWII Sherman tank late at night for an off-site event the following day. Problems cropped up that might have disabled the tank (never a good thing when the vehicle you're driving weighs 69,000 pounds). This meant we had to go back to the museum where a small crew of reenactors had camped out for the night in preparation for their part of the same event. Since we couldn't rouse anyone to let us in, we had to scale wall and a fence which was a lot of trouble because it was topped by razor wire. All of that, just to scavenge a replacement part off of one of the static tank displays. In the process, we were 'caught' by one of the reenactors. Everybody had a good laugh because the poor fellow who discovered us nearly soiled himself. Keep up the good work. That old engine is really a treat! 40 pounds of oil pressure. Unbelievable!
The smile on your face as that M3 was running up with the agent driving is telling.
WONDERFUL EPISODE!!! THE PONCHO IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHEN CARS WERE BUILT TO RUN FOREVER.
Wow, that Pontiac is incredible. What a testament to the engineers of that engine. And you're right, that's why they don't make them that way any more. Ash is such a great guy. Love when he and Myles are around. Great stuff. Thanks.
That thing was running as good as cooking eggs on a shovel and all of a sudden it became a sewing machine. That was incredible
You gotta want to jump for joy when that last cylinder fired off. A car headed for the crusher suddenly running like a new car. Fantastic.
Love seeing that old 52 Pontiac brought back to life after all the years of sitting rotting away. Those old flatheads were true Die Hards. Yippee Ki-Yay !
That tree is growing so fast next to the '48 Chrysler you may need to do a rescue video of it...from your own yard!
Scott your the automotive "quincy" of alberta..the diagnosis of prior ailements to analysis and rebirth...well done.
Theres a little "Macgyver" there too I think getting those old engines to run and smooth out.
@@roosty6 damn straight!!!!!!
Yeah! Another Saturday treat. Gas prices still high here, heating too. Forests being cut down for wood pellets, for heating in the winter. Not many things to be happy of these weeks. But the #ColdWarMotors never fails to entertain 📺▶️. And it seems to be a great episode this one. Cheers❕❗️
@tipihedroncollider Just remember,Inflation is not Our fault. It's government policy.
Another one brought back from the grave! Thank you Scott!!! Makes my face smile and my heart happy! Cheers ti all!! Rich
One of my favorite episodes ever, I keep coming back to it.
The courage Tom has to wear a white shirt to the lot is awe-inspiring. As always, thanks for sharing absolutely joy.
Man, if you could have seen my smile when that sixth cylinder kicked in. That was satisfying af. 🙂
54 seconds and 5 views in - as early as I've ever been......
Old Pontiac sounds great! Love hearing these old engines wake up
You got that '52 purring! My father sold his '53 Chieftain to a coworker when we left Indiana in 1967. He wrote to my uncle that it was hard to let go of it; it was like a member of the family. I remember that car - built like a tank, always started no matter how cold it got. He told me he actually buried the speedometer once, between Carlsbad and Santa Fe, NM. That straight 8 with Hydramatic did not disappoint.
Good ol' Ponchos. Dayumm I love 'em. That old girl runs sooooo sweet!
Those flatheads are amazing. My old 53 Plymouth would always start after a long slumber.
Great job getting 1952 Pontiac running... The Agents are the best!!! Always there to help...
That Pontiac runs excellent even with decomposed plug wires. Another contender for replacement forklift engine. Ash did a great job on the M3! You'd never know it was completely blown apart when he got it. Have way too much fun at the tractor show! Take care!
I love to watch this and listen to the sound of the 52 Pontiac .
I have a 6cylinders in mine 53 Pontiac .
Finde fenders for that car and the small missing parts .
It look very compleat and it dont need new paint when it look so good ,i even like the dents .
This video brought back some good memories of my old 53
@@bobdoerksen6594 Am going to put back the startmotorn in mine and start the motor again after many mounts .
This video make me do it hopefully this week.
29:31 that engine is one of the best running engines I've ever seen. That car deserves another chance at life lol. It runs better than every EFI engine in my driveway haha
It's a Runner! Never gets old on this channel.
Saturday Night at the compound. Boys taking a break and playing with the new toys. I'm getting the itch for a pre computer ride. Battery Points and Spark Plugs. You guys are the ultimate Green Team recycling anything with 2,3,4,6 or even 8 tires even stuff with props. Thanks for the invite, see ya on the next adventure.
Ashley is slowly, steadily acquiring quite a collection of NICE cars.
If Mustie1 ever starts using rolling papers to polish the points, call a DR please!
Scott, your a perfectionist in so many ways, it's great!
That talk about being off the couch and not knowing about the latest Netflix shows really hits home. Thanks for another fascinating episode fellers.
Hey thanks for the kind words and for watching this stuff!
That Pontiac had me grinning as if it was MY car. 😄 She has accumulated followers quite rapidly. I’d love to see more. What a heart that girl has. 👍x💯
It's ridiculous how excited I get when one of these junkers starts up. I feel I should apologize to Agent 0842 for all the horrendous things I've said in the past about BMW owners. (even though a lot of it was true) Cheers from Iowa.
That Pontiac runs so sweet. They built them to last. Nice M3 too.
I kinda wanted an update on Mark’s wristwatch. What a show! What a night! What a crowd!
Oh i forgot the BMW - "Hal open the pod bay door please" :) Awesome M3 love it ...
8 minutes in and we get GOLDEN Tom stories! LOVE it.
That Pontiac running reminds me of the way a World War 1 biplane sounds. Taxing down the runway.🤣
Glad to see the pontiac started and driven around. I guess alot of these early birds were junked in the early sixties. We had a 1951 black pontiac that was turfed on the side of the barn in 1963. My cousin blew the motor. We had a 1956 chevy truck last licensed in 1967. Junked in 1978. Again Excellent episode.
Man that M3. That was my dream car in the 80s. A beautiful example. 👍
Whoa! You might have a real diamond in the rough in that old Pontiac 6 cylinder flathead. I think they were considered some of the best engines of their time. I believe they had some unique oiling systems and other design extras. Cool stuff as always. Thanks Scott.
The Pontiac gave back to you what you gave it. It was awesome to see it come to life.
That Pontiac ran great! that engine didn't even have a stuck valve! rather impressive!
Boogie van interior?! Yes, please!!
That Pontiac sure wants to live! Worth the fiddling to get it running that sweet. M3 was always a nice car and still popular over here in the UK as a track car. Great Saturday night treatcas always. Best wishes to the agents ,Frankers and to you Scott and thanks for sharing your adventures!
Hey Scott, hope you had fun at the plowing match! Can't wait to see how you did! The old "Will It Run?" trope is still just as compelling as it always was - and this one was a "tour-de-force" of the tried-and-true formula! We got friends, we got drama, we got worry - but we also got stubborn persistence and a landslide victory, complete with a couple laps around the yard. And an E30 with an E36 engine that looks like it belongs there - well done, Ash! Those are the ones to get. Cheers!
When Ash flashed the high beams in the yard I instantly thought: "yep, that's what you used to see here in Europe, another arsehole in his beemer wanting to pass"
🤣
Thanks for the neverending fun and fun cars guys !
Cheers, Ard
Lovely stuff! The way that the 52 Pontiac came back from the dead was amazing and what a looker it is too - the windscreen, visor and outrageous SS stripe over the hood but above all the engine and transmission working - terrific! Delighted to see that Ashley and Miles were helping on the Fury - here we are just weeks before your first snows… Ashley’s M3 is a bit special too wow that has some poke! Love to Frankers as always, Daddy’s just nuts darling, but we love him don’t we? “Woof”
What a shocker on the old Poncho flattie! Shes sweet. Tom looked like a doctor in his white jacket! Enjoyed the show.
CWM always makes my Saturdays! Excellent Victory Tunes.
I'm so happy to see the Pontiac run so well!
It's a keeper. Or, a gift to a special fan. Pontiac: "Don't give up on me yet guys!"
Winter beater field rally contender?
So, I'm watching the '52 Pontiac roll around the test track at the coldwarmotors facility and "Frasier" pops into my head! Just me?
I appreciate how you accept the common riff-raff like Carreras and M3s. I feel like I'm watching a parallel universe unfold! Gearhead heaven. Thanks again for the amazing variety, and fun
Our latest addition is a 1956 BMW Isetta microcar that was a close friend of ours car.. it hadn't ran in at least 25 years so I did the right thing and cleaned the carb, changed the sludge formerly known as oil and shoved a fresh lawn mower battery in it. (300cc of drag race ready engine!!) And it fired right off.. took it to a huge car show this weekend and gave rides in it.. it got a survivor and cutest car award...
Hi Scott and all at Cold War Motors. I just knew the old flathead would purr like a kitten. I very much appreciate the "zero budget" approach, as a tune up would be a waste if the engine were bad. Hooray! The internet is finally back on in Isabella!
I had a 55'er. Loved that car! I learned that you don't talk back to a Pontiac and it will run till it don't want to any more!
she wants to live! Awesome to hear her spark to life again. ✌🏼😊🇺🇸🇨🇦
Wow @29:00 that Pontiac smoothing out after a plug swap was awesome!
The poor old Fraser is one of life’s little treats, an under appreciated car, it speaks of a time when thinks were built with care and dependability in mind. One of my favourite memories is the cold start video of a few years ago. It gave me huge respect for six volt electrics and engineering that done near eighty years ago. Nice work Scott, Frankers, and agents.
It's not an official CWM movie until Tom says "I gotta go" 😄
Tom wore his white coat this episode because he is Doctor of Motors (DM).
The old girl still has some life in her. That was pretty cool that it settled down to a steady idle after a little attention. The stealing gas from yourself was just pure rediculousness. Loads of fun though. I noticed you took it out of the Gravely instead of the T. Great to have these nice friends that will gladly help you out. That M3 is very nice. That thing is so clean! Love this channel.
I wasn't expecting that ! The old Pontiac isn't done just yet !!
I knew this car would be a runner, front fenders, good clean up, check everything over, she's a driver! Love flat 6's Great job, Thanks for the posting, look forward to more!
I switch on a Saturday night but save it until Sunday morning that's how much I love watching cold war motors .
Paul from county Leitrim Ireland .👍🇮🇪
The Pontiac sounded great. Tom really had a good time. The BMW looked like it was really fun to drive.
A 52 Pontiac, an old Bimmer and tractor pulls.
Only on CWM! Stay Frosty Franker's!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Wow nice motor running smooth I love watching will it start this one is a winner
“Smells like new plastic. That’s fantastic!”
Fuck me,,, "I gotta go guys, I got the water running..." ,who doesn't love that man ?
As a e30 owner I was drooling over Ash's m3. He has great taste in cars too!
PONTIAC sounds great. Definitely running in all 6 now. You have to get it roadworthy now. She's a runner. Congratulations. Love the excitement in your voice.
What a Great Winter Beater if the heater works never have to worry about rust, old girl sounds great
Another notch on the automotive belt. Congratulations Scott you've done it again.
