  • Hey guys! Here's a short video of my 1972 Chrysler Newport getting the Cold Start treatment! I decided that it was silly to keep shopping for a better beater when the best one I could buy was sitting unused in my yard with plates already on it! Let's see if she'll go and take it for a fresh tank of gas!
    Thank you to everyone who ordered a 1960 Fury T-shirt, our best-selling shirt ever! Thanks for your patience; we sold a lot of them and it took a couple extra days to get them all printed. I am very happy to report that they are all in the mail! I am looking forward to getting mine, for sure!

    Scott, although you're much younger than my dad, your cold starts always remind me of him. No matter how cold or how much snow. Every vehicle on the property had to be started and "limbered up" for when the roads were open again. One very cold winter, my 74 Pinto was the only thing that fired up. Dad had a 79 Luv 4x4, mom had an 80 Citation x11. All the neighbors had big barges like your Newport. The neighbors shoveled our street so my little Pinto could jump start them all. I love you and the channel.

    The best winter beater you have. Though you should know, when running your old mopar cold to warm it up, put the transmission in neutral! It won't pump trans fluid in park. That means no transmission fluid lubrication! Will make that transmission last way longer. This from a 33 year transmission Chrysler guy. Cool video Scott!

The PRV-engine Volvo, Peugeot and Renault had made in a joint venture originally wasn't the rough, unyeilding V6 we know from Peugeot 604, the Matra Espace and the 26* Series Volvos - it originally was a V8 engine, but built with two cut-off cylinders less to please the "economic" imperative the OPEC and Nixon's oil-dollar-dictatorship had brought over the car-world. I loved that engine in the Espace, it was superlight, super reliable and nearly undestroyable, and it was an easy-fixer to repair. Just imagine what that PRV V8 alone could have done for Europe's car industry.

    Reminds me of my first daily-- a '66 300 coupe with rust all around the skirts. That car, laced with dried salt spray, is my symbolic winter beater. Crunchy snow, biting cold, the shellacky perfume of old gas and the sound of a Hamtramck Hummingbird are wonderful memory prickers.
    That first winter in 1976, I lost use of it for 2 weeks when the starter died in the tight parking space my landlords' fenced off from the alley behind their back yard. I tunneled under the Chrysler, dropped the old starter, and walked it to the auto parts store I lived next to, and traded it in on a remanned unit. Installed it. And--nothing. I checked everything else, and took the bus 6 miles to work while scratching my head for two weeks to dig up a solution. That bus had a stop at Social Security, and I still recall the colorful array of characters who would get off there.
    After two weeks of smoothing the snow tunnel walls with my winter jacket -- like a torpedo in a tube, I took out the new starter, walked it to the store and had it checked. It was bad.
    Thanks for another simple but deep monolog on practical motoring, Scott.

      That reminds me of having an intermittent dead spot on my '72 Chevy Vega starter way back when I was about 20 years old. That starter was a year-old rebuilt, that I had installed...a year earlier... ha ha. I went and bought another rebuilt starter, took it out of the box and put it on the ground near the car. I pulled the "old" starter out and placed it on the ground near the "new" rebuilt starter, making a mental note as to which one was which, before I went back inside. I forget whether I had to go to the bathroom or eat lunch, but when I came back out, I forgot which was the "new" starter, and even upon close inspection I could not find any dirt, stickers, or fastener indentations to indicate which one was which. After much too much head-scratching I just picked one of them and installed it, worse came to worse it was only an intermittent problem...sorry I don't remember today if I had picked the correct starter, but I did learn from that point forward never leave something like that to chance or memory😃

    You can't brush off Ontario snow like you Albertans do, ours starts as an icy bottom layer with crusty additional layers on top. Invariably the bottom layer gets into the door frames and keyway freezing everything shut and locking the owner out of the car. After a quart of lock deicer and a couple gallons of windshield washer antifreeze you get into your car just to find the diesel fuel lines have frozen. Happy Canadian winter to one and all!

    Warms my heart (and hopefully your feet with that heater!) seeing a Newport on the road. Just threw the studs on last night after another snowfall. Filled the rust in with some ice and snow for some winter bondo. Ready for winter beater time!

    Cool !! The Newport reminds me of a guy I used to work with when was around 18. He was about 24 and a US Navy veteran. he had a 1973 Fury III he called "The Riverboat". He was the best. I thought I knew how to drink until I met him. Lotta fun times...

    If someone in Texas had that car for sale they’d be asking $10k+, if it was listed on Hemmings they’d be asking $59,000.

    Sweet!! I’m driving my nicer 78 F250 and my 64 Plymouth Valiant this winter because they start in the extreme cold if needed and they have amazing heat.

    My best winter starter was a 1971 Lesabre with the Buick 350 with 147K miles on it. 1981/82 was a brutally cold winter in Calgary and it was -43C with roughly 15KPH wind out of the NW. The car was not plugged in and facing north. It took 3 or 4 tries to get the old girl running on 3 or 4 cylinders and another 5 mins to get it running on 8. Not bad for a beater. 🙂

    I'm glad you've revived the Newport Scott, I love C bodies and would love a 70 Fury or Polara 4-door to drive around England's countryside - the problem is, a C body is bigger than my village!

  • @sittinandthinkin
    @sittinandthinkin ปีที่แล้ว +1

    about the deer, yeah, only one? Where are the rest? My first car, many years ago was nearly a '72 Dodge Polaris. Ended up with a '73 Buick Century. Always asked in the northern climes, "How's the heater?"

  • @KiwiStag74
    @KiwiStag74 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I remember the 'will it run' and I've seen it just parked in the same spot week after week on the show and thought to myself "That's one lovely example of 1970s Barge-storming goodness. Why isn't she being driven?"....and today I found out! Must be other videos in the collection that have more of this beast in it, so I must have missed it when I last did a walk through the back catalogue....so time to go look again, eh? There's something about that car that makes me smile. Whether it's the definitive Chrysler starter (one of my Top 10 in the "starter noise" category), her VERY early-70s lines, the colour, vinyl roof, the interior, dash layout.....or just the fact she's an honest, big, non-flashy or overdone in any way, BIG vehicle, I'm not sure....or maybe it's because she's ALL that! Whatever, I love the beast and look forward to seeing you out and about in it over the next few months.
    Man - all that snow! Looks like winter has definitely come to Alberta. A pity that summer has not come to Auckland, New Zealand yet. Nights are cold and we've had two weeks of raining every darn day. Then again, the rain is warmer, so we must be getting toward the dry season.....I hope! I just wish it would stop filling up my cars through their leaky windscreen seals! Ah well....all the best and looking forward to seeing the show again this week.

    Oh yeah! It's Friday and the Newport is back! I just say, I think you made the right decision. Why but something else, when you've already got what you need, in your own yard. In my experience, buying another car just brings unknown problems. At least you know every problem with the Newport! 😃

  • @RobertPerrigoOkiechopper
    @RobertPerrigoOkiechopper ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Once upon a time, in1969 with a foot of snow on the ground in Omaha, my winter beater at age 16 was a 1964 Corvair 4dr red in color and no heater ducts and had to operate the wipers by hand reaching under the dash. The Covair would get around never getting stuck, just a minor inconvenience of hand-powered wipers and three layers of socks, and a few cans of canned heat.. great memories and times of my youth.

    Hi Scott,
    I think it's great that you don't have to spend oodles of precious time a Winter beater this year.
    You usually are helping someone with theirs or fixing yours (or both). This way you have time for other project and this old gal gets some exercise.
    Oh ya... did 100 bucks even make the gas gauge move? ;)

  • @SuperMAZ007
    @SuperMAZ007 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Fixing the 1972 chrysler is a very wise decision. Inflation has made lot of beaters just too expensive to buy.

    This was the car in the first CWM vid I ever saw... it's what got me hooked on your channel a decade ago now can't believe it. "What's your carbon footprint?!"... most CWM tagline ever. General consensus on this channel is RWD boats are winter beats material! What better car... definitely worth the work to 'er goin, Scott.

    "I always like to get a good beater going." Careful about such talk Scott! With that and the reference to the bulging addition to your "carbon footprint" you may get booted off the platform! Just kidding. Being from Quebec, I'm anxious to see what winter tires you might put on her! Beater-picking time is better than Xmas!

    I’m old school but on an old Chrysler I install the mini starter. Cheap from Napa and spins the old small block purty darn quick. Game changer in the winter.

  • @patricklynch1962
    @patricklynch1962 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I recently did the subframe bushings on my '79 Dodge St. Regis and discovered that the right rear bushing has nothing to hang onto because that part of the K-frame snapped off when I started to loosen the bolt. Soaked all of the bolts off and on all spring and summer and three of them came out like they were brand new with hand tools, the fourth, well...Will be looking for another K-frame. The price I paid for driving it in winter, but as big a pain it will be, will fix it. The St. Regis only has 280,000 miles on it.

  • @57Banjoman

    We used these for years, and we got along just fine. I put studded snow tires on my '67 GTO, and ran it for two winters-I would be put in jail for that today-LOL-Cheers!

    Intelligent Decision 👍 you have (big/large) friends and a half dozen of y'all can sit in that car without feeling like sardines in a can...and...it (snow bound/cold started) fired off with year old gas - what else do you want...my vote is to rustle up some snow tires (l like the ones on Myles' big Mopar) & a new set of valve cover gaskets - l like the cork gaskets over the factory black rubber ones, but l live in south Florida; l don't know what works good up there in Santa Claus land where you live

    A guy at my work is Daily Driving a '68 Newport 4 door sedan. A nothing special car, except great winter beats like your '72. Glad to see the 72 pressed back into service, I think driving them keeps them in better shape than letting them sit.

  • @19522007
    @19522007 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    the Newport always brings back fond of my brothers 71 Chrysler 300. We went everywhere in it, until the good old PEI winters rusted it out. It was a 4 door hardtop ,dark blue with all white interior and i believe it was a 440.

    I miss my 1976 Newport Custom I had in high school bought it for 700 bucks from an estate action with 40k on it in 1997 and drove it for 4 years before getting rid of it which was a mistake it had a 360 motor in it.
