CRUSTY Cutlass - Will it Run and Drive After 33 Years? Rustiest Oldsmobile!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ธ.ค. 2023
- I snagged this incredibly rusty 1968 Cutlass for $500 from a car lot that closed. It was traded in 33 years ago and abandoned, just waiting for a sucker like me to try to fix it...

Honestly this might be one of the best engine revivals yet, You really got a chance to hear the engine catch up and get better when you finally got it to run
It's called realism
Thinking head gaskets will help revive it even more.

Dalton consistently puts out quality content and only does it after working all day and and on the weekends. I can't wait until he's able to devote all his time. He already does better than most youtube channels that are full time.
Strongly agree with this comment everytime I see he posted I watch the video before anything else lol
He really is up there on my yup, I'm gonna watch that.
Don't forget he strips on the weekend for extra cash
His videos have been more interesting than Derek's videos on VGG for some time IMHO
@@workingcountry1776 because it's a thorn in his side having a TV show
only 1 thing that you left out with the 15 min oil change segment - take 5 minutes telling and showing everyone how to put the date you changed the oil.
I pick up free oil change stickers from my local auto parts store stick it on the windshield with date mileage etc....
As someone who collects antiques , I laughed my ass off over those oil cans. And you are correct, there are some elitist collectors (every hobby has them) crying over it.
Dude, the dirt uni-brow🤣was killing me.
Definitely, this car was in a major water event of severe magnitude. It has many salvageable parts that would bring a good return on your investment. Hard to believe this car is over 50 years old and still runs and drives despite all the erosion. I hope you find another 68 and utilize the parts to build a real roadworthy Cutlass.
Totally agree, well said
snow chains on it. Maybe its from MI or other area that uses alot of salt in winter before ending up in KCMO
@workingcountry1776 That's what my guess is because there's no way even if it did sit for that long around KCMO, for example, the rot wouldn't be THAT bad.
A flood in Missouri? First I've ever heard of that 🙃
Side note, you should see the horn relay on my ‘70 - everything is hooked to it. The stereo and inverter I added, the extra lights, the space shuttle, everything.
Except the horn. That didn’t work, so it’s on a separate relay inside.
We had to put our cat down last night. 14 years old, best Kitty ever. I was completely crushed. The Cutlass episode really cheered me up this morning. Thanks Dalton!👍
Are you sure the car wasn't last registered in Atlantis? There's so much rust that it almost looks like a flood salvage car. The thing not snapping in half once it starts moving is impressive to say the least. Great work!
Yep... when Donovan wrote the song, that's the car he was being toured about the island in.
No, it spent one winter in update NY.
ahhh update ny what a up to the minute place@@ianrs6310
Looks like Michigan rust to me. But it runs and drives. Amazing.
It came from Minnesota and that’s exactly what Minnesota does. It’s what we call the salt capitol up here. Pickups have rusty wheel wells before they’re five years old most of the time
“…The prisoner that stamped this out- We thank you for your service…”. 😂
You know i really appreciate the concourse grade numbers matching restoration with period correct oil even. It's the level of excellence i enjoy in this channel. It really is the best year Cutlass and model to have. An impressive specimen, yes.
Don't forget the numbers matching rust.
@@patriotgaragerot** just rust is fine lol
I cannot wait for you to become a full time TH-camr. The content is gonna go through the roof. Idk how you do what you do while working a 9 to 5 as well!
I use to complain about not having a life working 6 am to 4.30 pm but boy his drive to work and get things done makes me look like a baby
If he does hopefully you’re right. I’ve noticed a lot of the Others I watch don’t do anymore now than they did with a job. Some do less. I guess as long as enough money comes in to pay the bills they happy.
@@Robrt32DD’s speed shop, & pretty much Vice Grip Garage have stayed constant, ZIPTIES & BIAS PLYS has always been sporadic but that’s top tier redneck content & he’s been battling theirtube from day 1, Dipchits & Dunlaps (sawed off Frenchman) is even rarer but quality, that’s my entertainment line up
Swear you’re the only true revival channel on TH-cam now. You show the struggles of getting junk running that a lot of other channels leave out. Keep up the awesome work!!
Shame it's so far gone. Body looked good from the drivers side view.
That Oldsmobile was worth every penny, because with all the little things and tricks that you showed in your video is all secret stuff that people learn throughout the years that nobody today knows about and then you got to drive it and have fun
It would be cool to deck out the interior of the Holey Goat with all the parts you can use Including factory A/C dash etc. Use the glass if possible but leave the outside as is but plug the bullet holes from the inside so you can stay warm and cool😂
The '68 Cutlass, especially the 442 is my one and only Holy Grail! Unfortunately, the only ones I find that I can afford, if any, are in this condition. When I first saw you get this one I was so excited! Thanks for giving me at least a small glimmer of hope. May she rest in piece.....after you savage her of course!
68 is really hard to find! I'm on the hunt though
Find a good one from cali. No rust
@@PoleBarnGarage 68 Oldsmobile cutlass was the first car I remember my mother having when I was a child.
Oldsmobile Rustless, the salt brine really cuts down on GM over engineering on things people call "safety" "floors" or "frames" for more important things like off-road performance and giving back to nature. Some say "Oh but that's a fire hazard" no it's called burning rubber with the coveted two speed transmission, also known as fast and faster. Awesome video as usual Dalton, tons of good moments in this one. Can't wait to see how the lemans goes
We saw you hit the brakes while you were backing it out of the shop like there was something there. Lol 😂
Call this thing the Tetnis Shot Cutlass lol. This video was a ton of fun to watch man!
oh brother....I feel the pain...$500 for a rust bucket. But the bright side for me is I am watching another great episode from you guys at PBG!!! Thank you guys, you are a fav of mine.
PBG, coffee and a pop tart at work this early? This is better than banana bread at work, hell yeah
The 2 speed will allow you to break em loose at 35 mph. But not much else.
Great stuff man!
Now I want a Cutlass.
Ohhhh Buddy..
That dirty smokey face..
Priceless 😂
Thanks again for the Great content..
JD.. That "Sauna" was a beauty👌
I just wanna say, I appreciate how you keep working a real job, and doing car stuff on the side. It’s relatable, just like most of us have to. Thank you.
In highschool (2003) my buddy had a 70 cutlass 2 door. Blue with white stripes on the hood. Stock 350, 1 barrel...it was a dog but it sure looked cool. What a "gem"
Always like when JD makes an appearance.. unlike most kids he's out there in the garage with his Dad instead of sitting in front of the television that young man knows more about cars than I do at 57 years old.. well done Dalton. As a father I commend you
" I love it when people say crank the fire out of it, that doesn't work" procedes to crank the fire out of it.
This was a pretty sharp car at one point in its life. Hell it doesn’t look so bad now…from 50 feet away lol
My late mother and I had a 60 no 71 cutlass with a 350 rocket. We would go down the highway and we would race this 79 6.6 L Trans Am and we would beat it every time! The car was just a stock cutlass! Good times! Great video I love watching you and your son do these revivals! God bless your family, brother!
Loved JD's comment "It's bad" when he saw the blue tooth frame in front! Mr. Deadpan low key. 🙂
Now that is the definition of an Oldsmo'Pile. Love it! Make sure you park it where the neighbors can see it.
Oh I did
@@PoleBarnGarage who let this car go?
Down south... this cutlass would have never went to rot?
Considering rust isn't a very good ground, I'm truly amazed at how many lights work! Cool revival man! Lots of high dollar parts on this car, well worth the price.
Right? I was impressed by that too
For a complete rusted pile of crap that Cutlass runs pretty good. Really an entertaining and fun video Dalton. Thanks for all you do and keep up the good work 👍✌️🇺🇲
You are absolutely my favorite TH-camr. I just love every episode you have. You give us lots of content. And it never fails. I love everything cars, it’s funny, you crack me up man. And I love that your son is there helping out. It’s so cool. Keep it up!
50 years ago when I was 8 years old my now-deceased older brother had a candy apple red 1968, 442, W30, 455 Jacked up with deep dish Cragars. Watching you working on that POS has brought a tear to my eye for many reasons.
You've got to teach JD how to do all the work and filming at the same time, Dalton. I mean, how are you supposed to stay completely out of the darkness, brutal cold weather and soggy ground, when you have to go out and hold the camera for him?! Good grief! 😂
I said I'd watch it as a fellow 68 olds owner when you asked if you should do a video on it after you originally bought it. See it roar to life and drift through the mud made me laugh - thanks. And the 2 speed transmission Oldsmobile used in 68 was a Jetaway 2 speed transmission - a close cousin of the Powerglide, but just slightly different enough to make them unique. Thanks for one hell of a video! 😂
I am surprised that the car held together. The engine sounds great and transplantable. Great video!
Cool trick with a water bottle I've never even heard of that. I appreciate the effort even after finding out she was just a shell. Not to mention tons of fire balls!
He's mentioned it before I. Other videos. I believe he said his grandfather taught him that
Glad to see the motor is good I agree lots of great parts very unfortunate about the minor rusting lol none the less another instant classic from pbg! Thanks for your time and effort very much appreciated fella!
Great vid ,honest revival no carb changes, no distributer changes ....great work smiles all the way , thanks for sharing 💨💨
It is amazing how you can find parts just here or there in your parts collection and make them work! Getting that car running while spending what looks to be only a new set of spark plugs! Just amazing what you do for so very little money.
Could have cleaned the original plugs and spent 0! Should have
Could of,,,,,, LOL!
love that old rust bucket - even as wiped out as it was it was beautiful seeing it have one last run
Good morning Dalton! Time for coffee and enjoy the content!
Right on
Shame this old gal was so rotten, great parts car, seats looked good, lots of good pieces. Gonna have to start calling you Fireball, you didn't even budge when that old Rochester went full flamethrower on ya. Keep up the good work man, even if it's just parts these cars need to be saved, parts keep the good ones alive.
Great comments, couldn't have said it better myself. Save those rare parts.
Dalton I watched video of jd working on granddad vehicle& I tell you what you taught that young man well I know you are very proud of him I never had kids but I had stepson I had taught all my knowledge but he died year or two back now I'm trying to find a young man to teach but not many wanna learn these days smh
That's one of those take to town rigs right there. Must say you do enjoy a challenge. Glad it has that 1968 Structural carpet.
I know you said you got it from a car lot but holy cow was it at the bottom of a lake. I'm from Michigan originally I've seen some rusted cars but that one is bad.
My uncle had a 1969 cutlass when I was a kid.. I love that body style, it's a shame to see it in such bad shape. Glad to see the motor runs, at least. Love your vids man.
You should take it to a shop for an oil change 😂
When you laughed wiping off the oil filter...that made the video!😂😂😂
I know its got a solid frame but considering you drive the HolyGoat, hearing you say a car is beyond redemption does make me laugh. 🤣🤣👍👍
I was willing to swap a frame under it until I realized how bad the rest of the car was. Throw in no title on top of it and ehhhh she's parts
You are fun to watch and I really enjoying watching you fix things the way I do. It's like looking into a Mirror. And High Five to you sir... you are an amazing Father and Your son loves cars all because of you.
,A real jewel.But you got it running.way
to go.
That drain plug trick made me bark out loud in delight. Thanks for all the fine content.
Me realizing that I’m that “can nerd”💀💀💀
just to add to my previous comment... the one 68 coupe i found looked fairly ok for around 5k, you may be able to find one cheaper. i sold a 69 s last year with a sort of restoration for 27.5, so it may be well worth the effort.
Love the fact that you involve your son in this
You are a brave soul driving on that frame even just around your property. I’ve never seen anything like that come out of radiator before 😂 that was the best part
I've never seen a frame rusted out as bad as this one.
But you will later this week 😂
man i wouldnt of paid 500$ for both of them together xD but i dont think i'd enjoy the challenge
When I was a child, my mom drove a 1970 or 71 ,442. My dad drove a 66 Impala SS. He still has the Impala and is restoring from ground up.
Very nice
Holy rustbucket! Such good looking cars, but that one is definitely done... well unless you happen across a good frame or entire chassis replacement. Love the idea of putting it on the Corvette chassis (lengthen the chassis to fit the Cutlass?), but maybe Roadster Shop or Schwartz might be up for a sponsor deal? Probably not, but it doesn't cost anything to ask... Good luck!
To see that thing run and drive is absolutely amazing! Such a bad ass year! 68 cutlass (IMO), is the best looking. Great job, D & amazing footage of that oil change 😂
It was truly riveting stuff
Spoiler alert lol
@@PoleBarnGarage you could use that other car to fix the holey goat
I really that this particular front grill design, but I love all cutlass' from 1967 till 1972. Maybe even some mid 70s cutlasses looking beyond smog crap. Easy peasy to rip that crap out anyhow.
What a journey! another great watch and a great looking car.
I was really amazed that you not only got that olds running, you actually drove it!!! And so many things still working,like all 4 headlights blazing away' the radio playing, and even the dome light working! Too bad about the rust though. It's such a beautifully styled car. Those salted roads up north will do that.
I just want to say Dalton, I wish you nothing but success, prosperity and happiness. On top of just the automotive channel, for your family, Jess, Cody and JD too. You are all an inspiration to not just me but others who are learning how to wrench on a budget. Seeing you do all the completely sketchy ass stuff that happens on this channel gives me confidence..... to do exactly the same thing because you've proven time and time again that it works. You all make me so happy on my worst days. I also love how much of a countryman you are, I have definitely taken most of your made in the USA buying advice because I didnt know where to look before necessarily, but I for sure do now! Keep waving the American flag brother and never stop shooting self tappers! Merry Christmas and much love to all you guys on PBG!
I love the videos man keep up the good work
You could use the A/C compressor on the Holey Goat. 😂
😂😂 very necessary
You made my day... "It's fine ! Everything's fine !"
The adventures you are having with JD... Priceless! Bravo!
Dalton, after working on vehicles most of my life and having been a tank mechanic in the army in Vietnam I enjoy what you do. You're fast becoming my favorite TH-camr. A lot of it has to do with your personality and I enjoy seeing you and your son work together. I like the old Oldsmobile motors.
Been watching PBG a long time. Miss your brother Cody! Good to see JD.
My dad has a 68 olds 442. My favorite muscle car of all time. Would love to restore one for myself one day
“Next Level” is a short leap on this one.Love you content and videos,very entertaining.Cars like this were what we drove growing up.
I really enjoy your channel. The relationship you have with your Son and your wife. You guys make it look enjoyable.
That would be a few awesome videos putting the cutlas on the corvette frame. You would definitely bump up the views
I admire the heck out of Dalton, he includes real world work like most guys can afford. Keep Up The Great Content!!!
"Hard patina"... but man it's a great 20 footer at 53:43.
I don't have any 1968 Cutlasses, best I can do is a 1968 GTO 😆
Great job! I knew you could do it heck yeah. I love to see you revive cars.
Absolutely amazing!!! So many TH-camrs are getting bigger, better, brand new shops and that's their prerogative, but you and Irish Garage keep it real with what you're doing.
No offence to Derek & Josh, watch all their content too.
loved this, and made me laugh out loud a couple times, and I really needed that this week. Keep up the good work. i wait for your videos every week now
Thr best part of Friday, seeing the new pole barn garage video
Wow I can't believe it ran and that frame and you drove great one!!!
I grew up in Indep MO 67-75. Used to be all kinds of salvage yards in Jackson County. Out of yards I bought 56 Merc Monterey 2dr, 59 Chrysler Windsor 2dr, 67 Cougar, many other cars. Got em all running and driving. Really enjoy your videos!!!
Loved this one Dalton! My first car was an Olds, my dad’s first car was an Olds, my grandmother drove an Olds. Wish it was worth saving, but it was awesome to see it run and drive again!
You know greatness is in the making when you have the dirt/grease unibrow!
This really is one of the best channels on TH-cam - you really take me back to my younger self back in the late 70s early 80s when me and my buddies would hang out in the garage in the summers just listening to good tunes and sucking in the fumes of gas, oil, paint, bondo dust etc.
I hope you get to the point that your channel becomes your primary/only career, I so look forward to new videos and I'd love to see them more often.
Olds 350 Rocket! have a reputation of being a good running engine. If i remember correctly 3.3 stroke and big bore. A little spit can go a long way when in a jam fitting parts together. Great video man. Enjoy your content and not wasting viewers time making a big deal out of a tune up.
12:18 I remember reading about the horn relay issue back in the late 90s in Car Craft or Hot Rod Magazine in an article about adding headlight relays due to the voltage drop of the horn relay. Makes the lights much brighter. That was long before drop in LED bulbs.
The wrench coming back around into your hands after loosening the drain plug had me dead. I replayed that atleast 5x
Definitely adhd shit right there, quality
I just want to say that your videos might have just saved my build. My station wagon I've been trying to save has a blocked fuel system but I couldn't find the pump and by some stroke of luck the oldsmobile has the same layout. I mean no video or Google search could help me find it but your video did. Keep being great PBG. Thank you
Absolutely LOVE this content!!!! A pure joy to watch.
I love how you shoot at "car youtubers" who all they're doing is wrap a car, and change the washer fluids. This stuff is way more interesting, together with JYD one of the best channels for entertainmant and informative stuff!
Holy exfoliation Batman! That thing looks like it was hauled out of storage on the Titanic! Good job getting it to fire back up…I’m shocked the water pump didn’t leak too
Great watch. I laugh so much every time you rip around the field in one of your um projects.
I'd love to see a video where JD and Jess go around and interview your neighbors. Would love to get their perspective 😅
$500 bucks each? Damn, I remember a time when I was paid $50 bucks just to tow cars like that away. 😀
😂😂😂😂😂
Brilliant how you just use what ever you have this is why I follow you very Entertaining I sit back with a beer or 2 and just enjoy keep it coming 👍👍
I found this channel via the exploration of that abandoned ranch...keep it up you're hilarious and your boy seems like a good lad too cheers from the UK
