Check out this 1968 Chrysler 300 that simply screams cool. It also roars power, since it features a legendary Chrysler 440 big block V8! Jaycob, the owner, starts it up and gives us a few revs. Plus, we hear the story of his epic great grandmother who drove the car into her 80s, which was in the 1990s! Check out Rust Belt Garage for more on this and other awesome cars.

“Hopefully the truck is running next time”, whoops lol. Even with the giant header leaks the 440 rumble sounds good! I never noticed how far away you had to stand to get the whole car in frame when we did this haha.
I was literally standing on the other side of your truck!
The truck was almost running when I came back through.
Just, ya know, missing an engine and transmission.
The V10 I have allegedly weighs around 800 lbs. dressed. After I strip some accessories it should be more like 750, but still ridiculous!
Definitely would not put the 440 on the HF engine stand. It would fold in half! The old gal needs a lot of love, but Jaycob will give it over time.
Grandma drives a 440 big block car
DAMN!!!
I know right? Super cool story!
Love these big old school cars.
Some of them really just feel so damned cool.
They are always so smooth when I’ve been in them too.
I bet this one floats along nicely. :D
I remember building a 1:25 scale model of the 300 when I was a kid. All survivor cars like that have great stories. My father-in-law has a 1970 'Cuda with the 440 and it can chirp the tires in 3rd! So much torque! He drove my wife to school in it when she was young, years later sold it to a friend, then bought it back a short time later since he missed it so much. Instead of a limo, we rode in the Cuda to our wedding reception. He still doesn't let me drive it 🤣. But I forgive him because he raised his daughter to be a gearhead and not a princess.
Hahaha, that's awesome. Def the right car to take to a wedding! Thanks for the story.
Big blue beast! Sounds lovely. Classic cars can almost never go wrong.
Yeah this thing is large and in charge and so much style.
@@802Garage car companies don't seem to get style now.
Most of them are definitely sorely lacking.
I am surprised that the rumble didnt push the cavalier out the garage.
😂 Wish it had!
Aviles Jose this has to be the best comment I’ve read in a while haha
What a boat of a car! That’s so cool for cruising
Absolutely! Def a head turner. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I love those red, non-braided, heater hoses ! Soothingly retro.
BTW, you lads ought to employ a can of spray ether to save the battery/started motor, when firing up an 'Old Timer'.
A fun-filled addition at any Birthday, 'blowing-out-the-candles' ceremony at well ! Happy Birthday To You, indeed.
[Someday, mon cheri, you will open the door of that fridge, & display its' contents ?]
Hahaha, your comment is amazing as always. Still gotta tell me more about what you do.
Not a bad idea. IDK why, but I'm just always hesitant to use ether start unless necessary.
Jacob love that Chrysler beauty . Those bucket seats,side skirts and two doors classic.
Grandma knows style!💪🏼🤟🏼
Definitely! I hear she was rad AF.
......... I need this in my life. I need it so bad.
Sorry buddy, it's priceless to them. :P
Love those old Chryslers. Great round of videos, keep them coming.
Thank you! More to come daily for a while. :)
That is such a cool car man! I'm in love already. I've got the same engine in a motorhome as well. They're fun to work on.
Thanks! Definitely subscribe to Rust Belt Garage. It's his car. :)
One that car is mint. And fact seals are holding oil pressue is amazing
Cool
2nd by like seconds, hah. Thanks!
yea...the kind of big boat that kicked the ass of my mothers 63 dodge Lancer with t aluminum slant 6 up hill and on the half dozen straight ways Vt had at the time but the 300's baby brother leave you behind on the corners quick. Same in snow and mud...and since Vt use to have 11 months of winter and one month of poor skiing called mud season back when these gals were made we Green mountain boys ended up waiting for you or grabbing a tractor or houses to hall that big block with all it wonderful centrifugal force around corners back on drive level land. Now going 'cross Texas...Well.....you'd still be waiting (but keeping a 63 Lancer in you trunk could be handy when you ran out of gas).
I do believe I touched 93 mph on one straight way but being only a mile long had to back off early. Now going down hill in the white mountains was pretty unlimited but the possible sudden stop when road turned and you didn't did keep me from testing the full potential of gravity assisted top speed. But working with nature created a true gravity/slant 6 hybrid known and the "Gravit 6"
Hahaha, love you dad! This one is definitely more of a cool cruiser than a fast car. Great date night car! :D
The old brakes definitely weren't what they are now in a performance car. Gravit 6, hah!
@@802Garage Rent the trunk to an family needing shelter. Yep back seat, love nest,.... same thing. As a mater of fact if you were a biker needing a cage you could sleep in...you and the 'ol lady could sleep on the back seat and you still had room for your dis-assembled Harley engine & 3 beers next to you just like you would on your own bed at home.
And you could sneak 5 people and 2 cases of beer into a drive in movie concealed in the trunk(we did 7 once..big ford if I remember I do know 5 girls 2 of us boys mushed together by the weight of 2 seniors closing the trunk lid? I was fine staying for awhile...so was steve. It was the girls want to get out and watch the movie...but i digress) !
As for being fast...ah find a long straight way and leave her to the floor for 3 to 5 mins. I do know with a factory blueprinted/balanced 440 in a '69 Charger you can ignore 4th gear in till around 130-135 mph. Not saying the Chrysler is quite as fast, sure not as Rabbitey up to speed but then it can do it with 20 ft of air-stream house trailer behind it with the wife, kids and 2 weeks supplies in it.
Then see how you like them brakes!.
Big improvement over mechanical brakes though.
Mechanical brakes...non power steering......double clutching.! Lets put it this way...if you did not have to get OUT of the habit of double clutching.....you'll never get a mechanical car out of the driveway.. Legs not strong enough to push the clutch....then having 12 plus turns lock to lock on the steering wheel....(you're 11 short of making it.)...then if you're not down to the gear going down hill you'd be in going up.....tagging the emergency brake and if under 160 lbs both feet on the brake with shoulder wedged against seat for leverage. Stick with citified cars with heaters, non vacuum windshield wipers and water cooled hood ornaments! Of yes. Look up "How to drive an 18 speed" for some concept of shift and manual transmission.
Yeah I understand the 440 definitely had some power. This one was just before they started killing them due to emissions and fuel restrictions too. Wild interior. Didn't get a chance to look in the trunk. Good thing I'm great at double clutching though! I'll be experiencing some long shifts with that transmission in my garage soon. :P
That is a fantastic car with a fun back story! I hope I get to see more of it being subscribed to RBG.
Yeah he def plans to do a vid on it soon I think. :)
Awsome old car and cool story behind it
Thank you very much!
Cool car Jacob & a great story about your grandma, that’s a car to hang onto for sure. I actually did a lot of work to a ‘67 300, it was at a body shop I worked at & we did a full body restoration to it, it had the 440 as well.
Wow that's so cool! I'll def tell him to check out your comment. He is going to be restoring this one over time so you guys might have a lot to discuss.
802 Garage Sure, I’m always happy to help where I can, I will actually have a lot of auto body & painting videos coming up on my channel that would be helpful. I’m hoping you guys keep making content together, you work well together.
Thanks! Maybe you can come down to OH for DSM shootout next year. :P
802 Garage That would be fun, it all depends on the growth of my channel I guess. Most my viewers are actually in the US (87%!) so a US road trip is inevitable at some point.
Fair enough! I have a ton of work to do to get there anyways.
I’m also a Vermonter up here in eden lilly performance solutions
Oh nice! You run a shop then? What all do you do there? I'm near Lyndonville and The Burkes. :)
Awesome ride and cool story about grandma! :-)
Thanks! Make sure you go sub to Rust Belt Garage.
Damn that thing is a beast!
Sorry i was late my exams jussst finished so im free now.
No problem! Hope exams went well.
Woooo looks beautiful!
Thank you! Glad my thumbnail caught your eye. ;)
Beautiful car... might need the choke adjusted. Kick it twice and turn the key, if she don't blaze right up she needs some tuning. Great share !
Thanks a lot! Yeah it definitely needs a tune up. Jaycob is gonna take good care of this thing over time. :)
Ah yeah b.b mopar excellent my favorite
You reminded me of a hashtag I meant to include. XD
Thanks!
@@802Garage glad to help 😊
Wew lad thanks on the daily upload woo!
No problem! Sorry this one was technically late. Thanks for watching!
My dad had a 1965 chrysler newport town sedan with a 440 he swapped in.
Those old cars are so cool! Thanks for the comment and sorry I missed it originally.
I think you're having a slight problem with the carburator. It needs a tune up, or maybe an idle ajustement. Johnny, Montréal, Canada
Check out Rust Belt Garage! He is the owner of the car.
Beautiful automobile!
Thanks! Jaycob and his fam love to hear that.
Very nice guys !
Thank you!
Yayeet my Bois!!!
E'ry daaay son!
How much did it cost to renew the interior and exterior accessories of such a car
You'll have to talk to Jaycob. His channel is Rust Belt
Garage. Though I believe the car is all original right now.
Great vid man I posted a vid my self keep up the good work :)
I checked it out. Thanks!
Arrr! She be a beautiful vessel!
Must be a hell of a different experience to drive that vs. something like my Impreza!
@@802Garage I'm sure! Must be akin to driving a small truck, except there's that huge hood blocking half your view. :)
I wonder what the seating position feels like. Probably feels like you're actually in a cruising speed boat.
I would imagine so, floaty suspensions and all. Jaycob and you should definitely do a 'Cruising in the land-boat' video, if you find the time. :)
Where's that car at? Vermont ?
Nah, this was all in Ohio, unfortunately.
Yas such a groovy car!
Hah, groovy. Good one! It has a lot of style for sure.
What a land whale !!!! Love it 👍👍
Go yachting down Main Street in that thing!
"Just send it."
Send it Richard!!!
like, like, like, like, like...
Heck yeah!
Don’t send it. Those old girls gotta wake up. Can’t just slap it in the face like the new ones
Haha agreed!
440 Wedge
It's sick!
@@802Garage mine was identical except the main body was dark blue and the top was lighter blue like your's
@@garymartin7842 This car belong to Jaycob from Rust Belt Garage def check out his channel!
Carburetor needs rebuilding. Accelerator pump is shot...
Oh he knows it needs tons of work. Thanks though!
