I have had so many questions about how many cars I own, where certain projects I have worked on, and when a vehicle will return to the channel. Today we answer all those questions! Side note: This is not a flex. Most of these cars are complete garbage. Quantity does not always mean quality.
Double side note: I forgot I could only have up to 5 cards in a video, so check my previous videos and playlists to see some of these vehicles I mention.

You have what's known as a 'salvage yard'. Cant wait to see you put more of them back on the road!
I still have the Maverick. She’s rough but I’ve been collecting parts. Been sitting in my back yard since the day after I got it from you. Should start building it after I finish my Sprite resto this summer.
Good luck with it man. Looks like a fun project. Sprites are cool! I’ve always liked those.
Just curious what state r u guys in? Im jealous cause here in Milwaukee wi there are no old cars around anymore it seems well not for cheap
Think he's from Tennessee
That's awesome I'm glad she went to a good home just a thought maybe when you start working on it you should get together with Dylan and show some progress reports
Sweet looking shop man. I'm looking forward to seeing you move into it. You have a lot of stuff going on I can't wait to see all of it getting done. If I had to pick, dude I can't pick. The original Galaxy cop car, the return of Rump, the Charger coming back, great content potential.
Great video Dylan. Glad to see a younger man is saving older cars. Keep going, we’re all vicariously there with you.
My second car was a 69 VW Squareback, loved that car. It was also fuel injected and once I found a shop that could work on the FI, it was awesome. Best gas mileage car I’ve ever owned.
I wrecked a VW squareback once, old lady pulled out right in front of me, I had to swerve to miss her and smacked the curb sideways on front right wheel.
I am a big fan of your work Dylan, I would LOVE to see what plans you have in store for your 1958 Plymouth Fury! I believe that this car would be a great one to start out with in the MCCool auto shop your building. I am a painter in 2 trades. So whoever's doing the paint and prep work on that shop is doing great! Keep up the good work bud!!!
Congratulations on the shop, that's beautiful! Your gonna get a lot of work done in a fully stocked , heated and air conditioned space, that's huge. My first car was a 68 VW squareback, 4 speed manual with a fi, air cooled suitcase engine. Also had a 73 with an automatic I seem to remember some thing about a ceramic part that was connected to fuel injector replacement because my father always complained about how fragile they were, probably because he over tightened it. Nevertheless, continued success Dylan, and God bless.
Good luck on those cool projects bud you've worked hard to and put up some brilliant content over the years, can't wait to see some of these projects come back to life especially the Savoy & Police interceptor. Could try filling some of these seized engines with diesel from the carb until there full gotta be worth a try for a few bucks.

Dylan, you know that the little white Duster that you're talking about making into a Demon is a fairly rare car. Plymouth called that the Feather Duster and it was made in the 70s to get really good fuel mileage after the first gas crisis of 73. It had the slant size, four speed, aluminum parts and really high gears for good mileage. It might be a great time to restore it with gas prices going nuts!
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to seeing your completed shop.
Cool looking shop!! I'd love to see some more '72-'93 Dodge D-Series truck content in that shop for sure! Also, I would especially love to see some '73-'87 squarebody Chevy truck and '67-'79 bumpside/dentside Ford truck content as well!
Dylan I would love to see you put the 58 Plymouth on the road again and more of your friends christine
What an awesome journey to go on with you Dylan! Sometimes watching the content you don't think about all the vehicles that dont get their own video. Also if you can't think of anything to do with that Ramcharger or if you just wanna sell it I am very interested in it.
The video links at the end seem to be missing too. This was a great video. It was basically the Dylan McCool origin story. I'd love to see the Imperial, Cadillac and Ford running!
Really cool Dylan seeing all your cars, would love the blue 58 Plymouth, good luck in the new shop
First car at 12 was 68 camaro, next 67 barracuda, next 1970 roadrunner. This was all happening between 90-94. Still have the Roadrunner.
I can't believe I just watched Dylan talk about his cars for an hour and a half...LOL. Great video man, I have been watching you since the dodge warlock was first featured on this channel. Awesome to see your channel grow into what it has become. Keep up the great work!
Stoked for the '58 Plymouth. Definitely one of my all time favorite cars. Also would love to see a future project where you go into depth with an A-833 4 speed swap.
Tons of cool projects. I want to see that Dart Sport get built. Use whatever parts you have at your disposal and turn it into a sweet car!
Keep going young man. You are up to an awesome start. I have owned over 300 cars by the time I was 40. My wife just bought me a super rare Chevy Step side 4X4 yesterday. Going to pick up two more cars today. Will have over 400 when I turn 55.
That was a great video! Really enjoyed all of the backstories about all of the cars, with the Pinto being the funniest (to me). Congratulations on your new shop. I look forward to all of the great content coming our way!
Nice collection of cars. If I had to pick just one that I would want to see more videos on I would choose the 58 Plymouth. Great video as always sir.
I would pick that one too!
Looking forward to the new shop, I have been a sub for years, I had 3 Cordoba's over the years back in the day and for sure are a great sleeper cars, I had a 76, 77 and a 79, my 77 I transplanted a 440 that was very very hyper built, as always I enjoy your work !
Awesome video Dylan! I have kept an Excel spreadsheet of every car I have owned, what I paid, what I sold/junked/parted them for. I have owned 114 cars, but I'm a little older then you at 44 and didn't start seriously buying until my 20s. I still own 21 cars, (on one acre by the way!!) and its fun to remember all the places, parts, and stories about all of them. I still own my high school car, my first hot rod, the first truck I learned to drive on, and my dad's hot rod. Love the channel, keep it up. I have my own YT channel and have a 1980 Dodge W200 build coming up this summer I am looking forward to.
So many awesome cars!! Would love to see the VW Squareback one day! I have always wanted to find one some day and would love to see what you could do with that one! That state trooper car will look amazing when finished also. I can’t wait to see your new building up and running. Keep up the awesome content!
Great video. That new shop looks amazing well done for achieving that!
Would love to see you restore the Bronze colored 78 Cordoba back to it's original look! I've always had a soft spot for the Cordoba's ever since a friend of mine bought a new one back in 76 and let me borrow it for a couple of hours while the car that I owned was in the shop for repairs! I fell in love with that Chrysler and didn't want to give it back! LOL...
Dylan, one of my 1st cars was a 5th Ave with a 318.
As far as what you show next on the channel. The plymouth savoy, imperial, and the trucks would be awesome...and although I am not much of a Ford guy...the state trooper car would be sweet...also the charger and your 1st dart need to get some love.
All good I just wanted to say congratulations on your milestone and God bless you and your family and hope you have a great evening and weekend!

I have owned a 64 Dodge Polaris 440 with 727 push button trans. 68 Dodge Dart 318 auto yellow with black top and interior , and a 73 Duster 318 hurst 3 speed midnight blue with white strip from front fender to rear , and a 70 Plymouth Satellite same color as a Duster with same motor and trans , great body style ! The 68 Dart and 70 Satellite are by far my favorite of all of these , would love to have either one now ! On the Cordovas I have had friends that have owned them and don’t know much about them but two I got involved in sounders like they had jumped time but I made a jumper wire and bypassed the module on the firewall and boom thangs started and ran fine in both cars a $2.50 part had these guys ready to tear down to check if the timing chain had jumped teeth . All said I sure need a car !!
I'm glad I stayed till the end!! I remember the video when you started on that property and have wondered what happened to it. That is going to be a Huge game changer for you and I know we will enjoy the journey with you as you work on those vehicles!
This is awesome Dylan. I also have a very similar story to you. I’m 15 years old and as of right now I own 7 vehicles lol, but I’m mainly into fords. I got my first vehicle, a 75 Ford F-250 4x4 when I was about 11 and the collection grew from there. I’ve also worked for some vehicles too. Just finished working off a 73 F250 Camper Special, and later this summer I’ll be working off a 66 Mustang hopefully. I owned 7, sold 2, bought 2 more, and I’ll probably be buying and selling more this summer. Great video Dylan keep up the good work
Your story is what i grew up watching my 2 youngest uncles do, for 15 You seem quite mature! Should make some videos my dude!
@@MavenFade thanks!! Yea I’ll be making some videos, but I have no camera equipment or anything but it’s definitely a goal for the future. But at the end of the month I’ll be coming out with a 2 year progress video I guess of one of my trucks
I love that white imperial that's covered with pine cones that would be a awesome daily driver when fixed and cleaned up. My Mom when we were kids had a 76 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham black with Red valor interior black vinyl roof water fall grill hideaway headlights it was her baby & she was only 4'11 but drove it like a champ. Same body style as the imperial. I'd love to own one
I found a 77 Jeep CJ7 in a barn, in fair condition a few years ago. I've been slowly restoring it and rebuilding every system and upgrading. I now have it in a great condition and now daily drive it. It looks like it that was a nice CJ5 you had. I love the Trailduster you have also.
1:14:43 this is stepping into Mustie1 territory, give him a call he will make it run! There are carburetor conversions for those things too if the fuel injection won't work (which it probably won't)
Been watching you for 4 years now. Can't believe it's already been 4. You've come a long way
Been watching since the charger series and still love your videos. My favorite car on your channel was the Trailduster so I was sad to see you sold it but I completely understand why. I actually just recently bought my first project car after being inspired by you, and its a 1981 Trailduster. I would love to see more work on trucks on the channel, especially Rump and that copper two tone long bed you have. Always looking forward to the next video, keep up the great work Dylan!
Awesome tour, looking forward to the future in your new shop. The hard working attitude your grandmother instilled in you has paid off. Congratulations.
You have some great stories and memories for such a young guy Dylan! You have some great cars with great potential. My dad bought a 69 formula S 383 barracuda that had the front suspension bent from a curb hit. The car was primered black, had fenderwell headers and a 850 holley. The car came with an entire k frame with suspension parts and a set of wheels and tires off a gmc typhoon....all for 600 dollars. A friend helped tune it up, we sanded it and sprayed it black primer, replaced doir panels and a few other interior parts. We got 9k for it, i sold the typhoon wheels with goodyear z rated tires for 600 on ebay. My old friend is a mopar nut and has a 71 demon with a 440 six pack and an overdrive 4 speed and a pistol grip with 456 gears, the trans has 309 first gear and launches hard and cruises at low rpm on the freeway. Best of luck with the new shop!! Looking forward to seeing more content.
I can't wait to see the Tennessee highway patrol car up & running. I think at that would be a great one to do next.
Not gonna lie, I am jealous…I wish I had that many cars to play with, along with a big garage and the time to tinker with them 😎
Dylan, I know you get a lot of comments and probably don't have time for them all but I wanted to say that I hope and pray you do something special with the 1980 d100. As soon as I saw it I thought of my father and I teared up. When I was young and had just come home from the Army my father owned one just about exactly the same, only the year was different, black, red interior, small block, short box check even the rims look the same. He gave me that truck and I loved it more than anything else I have ever owned, until a shady mechanic offered to help me fix it to pass New York inspection. He then told me it couldn't be made road legal and I had no choice but to sell it, I needed a vehicle for my job. I sold it to him far to cheaply because I was far to stupid. 3 weeks later I saw it on the road in my area. He "fixed" it and sold it on. I have been dreaming of getting another one or that one back for 25 years. Seeing your brought tears. Take good care of it. Please. Paul
I'm 46 and have had 65ish shitboxes being a city dweller. Pretty sure if I had property where I could store more, I'd be well into the triple digits. That said, I've learned about quality over quantity and how bad hoarding/unrealistic expectations really is. Helping clear out a lot of relatives/friends properties just made me realize that it's not a contest and nobody really cares how much junk one has until someone has to deal with it.
I would like to see more progress on the 1969 Dodge Charger, keep up the great work!!!
That 1966 Ford 428 police car is one of my favorites! You should definantly save it! That cadillac would be cool if you could get it to run too.
That shop is just amazing!
With so many projects in the works, you'll be busy with the vehicles you have until you are 50 at least. Great stories behind many of the vehicles here. Interesting channel.
Congratulations on the new shop! Looking good! My mom had a light sky blue Squareback! That car brings back memories. Looking forward to all the future content. Thanks for providing and sharing your content. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Been watching for a few years and I got a little catch in my throat to see that the big shop is almost complete. 👏🏼Good for you! Looking forward to more great videos. I, personally, would love to see you mess with that Volkswagen (I love European wagons) and get a little out of your own wheelhouse. Take care and thank you! 🙏🏼
Dylan if I am not mistaken the blue step side and the red Adventurer are 79 unless the grilles have been changed because the 80 had a black insert and the 79 had chrome a grille. Same grille just different color and material. If I am wrong my apology, but I don't think the grille's have been touched.
Great explanation and interesting story, I'm looking forward to seeing these projects in the new shop, Great job. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Not too surprised about it, considering the bulk of your cars start out as junk. I'm all for it, that's how most junkyards get started and guys do well by it. Hard work pays off, and passion is it's own reward!
My first car was a '64 Chevy Custom for $200 that overheated. Had a cracked piston, so I went to a junkyard, got a used piston, got the car running well and sold it for $600. Then found a '66 GTO with a blown engine for $200. A friend knew a guy with a '66 C Stock Tri-Power engine and ended up with a nice GTO.
Would like to see that Imperial running, don’t see a lot of them around, would be a cool project!!
Good for you…. I’m glad to see your world is improving. I have been watching your videos for quite some time now. Keep up the good work.
Nice video about your past and current vehicles and congratulations on the new shop. BTW, I saw a red 4runner in background. I am a fan of those too, preferably any suv that the rear top come off; it is my goal to have one before it's too late. Take care, and thanks for sharing this video.
Back when I was in High School, my friend and I would drive around and look for folks that had cars in their driveways all covered in dust or sitting in the backyards (Visible from the street, no we didn't creep on folks properties LOL) we would knock on the door and see if they wanted to sell, often we would pay 50 bucks for the car, drag it home using my bud's 78 K5 blazer and some chains. get the cars running, clean them up and sell them. Made some good money in the early 90's on that :)
I'm impressed sir I've been trying to restore a Pajero mk1 but I've given me the morale, welcome to Kenya bro
Really enjoying this video. I'm sat enjoying a beer, filling out job applications and just relaxing. God bless you and your family Dylan. You have some amazing cars
Congratulations on the new shop. Look forward to seeing all of the up and coming projects. Would especially like to see the 428 cop car done and Christine’s cousin Plymouth. Keep up the good work 👍
Id love to see the Charger and your pap's GMC get fixed up nice, love your videos on them. And my dad had a Cordoba just like yours, so if you get tired doing burnouts id love to hear what you want for it!
That 66 ford with the 428FE is an awesome find the engine might as well be made of gold
That VW is a Type 3, known in Europe as Volkswagen 1600 Variant - great car. I hope you put it back on the road, it really deserves to be a daily driver. Love your channel! Greetings from Italy.
I didn’t buy or trade this ms y cars in my life 🤣😂but I can’t remember how many cars of types I’ve had without sitting down and thinking hard. I never took pictures. I started at 12 years old. I used to drive my mom and grandmother to a hospital in the city 36 miles away. I was 12 yrs old stung a 51 Nash Stateman. In those days kids did drive young. I’m almost 74 now. Still in love with cars. Good thing my wife said please don’t collect!!!! Lolol. I now own a racing adult go cart a 69 corvette that needs a tach needle and dash side. I spent two years doing the body. It’s immaculate. I can’t get $$$$$ for it. I was told it’s worth 30 some thousand. I enjoy your videos!!!!
I had over 20 cars before I got out of High school. Bought my first one, a 53 Chevy 2-door for $75 bucks and drove it home. I was 12 yrs old. Now I'm old and I've owned several hundred cars since. Bought a 71 455 Gran Safari Pontiac wagon for $100 bucks when I was 13. Paid $300 bucks for a bigblock 72 SS El Camino when I was 15. Just kept finding old cars cheap and kept buying them. Drove a 67 Firebird with a 455 swap to high school along with a 69 C-10 stepside with a 540hp 327 in it. Got it when I was 16. Also had a 71 Vega drag car I built in high school and a bunch of other cars that just came and went. I only have about 15 cars now. It becomes a curse for life. I'm always on the lookout for more project cars to this day. Problem with owning a bunch of cars tho is the more you have, the less work you get done on them. A lot easier to focus on one project car, but I never could do that.
Loved the video Dylan keep up the good work man and can't wait to see you in your new shop. What about the black dodge with cab lights on it do a video on that please.
Cool seeing all the cars and their stories with you. Random tidbit on the Monaco, I owned a ‘66 and dealt with the poor parts availability. I found Vans Auto has a nice gas tank for those era C body Mopars. Also, US radiator does have a factory spec radiator for that car with a 3 core Rad. Might help you in the future.
I just got a 84 Plymouth Gran Fury for my first car I bought it in December. Love the car.
On stuck engines like the crushed Charger, jack it up, remove the starter and inspection plate, then pry back and forth on the ring gear teeth with a large screwdriver or small pry bar, being careful not to break the teeth. If that fails, remove a head, get a fat, copper or brass drift, and start pounding on pistons with a sledge hammer, or if stick shift, put it in high gear jack up one drive wheel, put a prybar through the lug nuts and work it back and forth. Any of these methods can deliver far more torque to a rusted engine than a wrench on the pulley, especially backwards, and force in alternating directions 100 times over is best. and neither the pulley nut nor the starter can deliver enough force in reverse.
I've been looking for a short bed Dodge pickup for some time. The ones I see are all rusted out. I know this doesn't help the Cordoba but.....I used to service a Dodge van that was used for transporting special needs children. The oil pan drain plug was stripped out. In it's place was an expandable drain plug. It used a special tool that was in the glove box. You stuck the tool into the plug and twisted it. The tool would push the rubber back far enough to then pull the plug out. I have no idea where the oil drain plug came from. It did work though. Not a real help but maybe you could find one on the internet for the Cordoba.
That 79 Aspen takes me back Dylan. You would have liked wrenching on Rusty.
Rusty was my cousin's ride, a 78 Dodge Aspen police cruiser. It had a 360 with the thermoquad carb and we smoked the tires off of that thing.
I could set here and pick at you for not finishing something and then look at my fifty plus years of collecting an never really finishing very much of anything unless i made some serious coin. I gave rigs away that should have me looking out of the crossbar hotel, they were rare and really nice rigs. My biggest grief was people picking and poking at me as what am I doing with it stuff and get tired of it and just give it away to find freedom.... that is till 2005, oct first, I caught a man who fell from his roof of his house and he is just fine, I was in the hospital for some time an in the next week still got to have more surgery. I have not done anything significant or fix on anything because of pain. I can not stand up, i lean on counter tops and wish to god the pain would just go away. I love that shop and know that as big as it is, you dream big an will build a storage building just as big someday. Way to go young man
Listening with headphones and between you and your cameraman the leaf crunching is deafening lol
Another great video. Fantastic that you will be able to work on several cars at a time in your new workshop Dylan. The 73 Challenger is my favourite of what you have done so far, but I'd love to see you put a 340 into your Duster/Demon project (or even a nice mild 360 or 318). Even if you start with a bare block it would be great to see it all come together.
You are just everything I would have wanted to be 10 years ago, 10 years ago when I was 10 I wanted to start a proyect car but due to my country where cars are too overpriced also cars where mostly old smalls Toyotas and datsun but really old and small ones or old ladas, you are everything I would have wished to become, thank you for keeping up the videos
I've got a banged up '72 Grill I'd trade you for Rump's Grill.....Great shop Dylan, congrats! And get a hold of Thunderhead...he LOVES working on VWs!! Love to see Rump back on the road, and Forrest deserves a new life.
I truly enjoy your channel. Funny about the Nighthawk. I took a class to get my cycle endorsement years ago. Afterward I road through the neighborhood once. A car ran a stop sign and a big dog ripped got a hold of my pant leg and about pulled me off. I settled for CT70 two track riding.
On the Rump, the 4 speed, and rust preventers to help it live outside should be the most practical option.
I suggest you have one economy car (or motorcycle), one hotrod, one tow vehicle, which can be the hotrod if it is a big one, and one 4wd off roader, which can also double as the tow vehicle too if it is big, and one, hopeless parts car for each. The rest you should flip, after getting them into daily driver condition if practical. What I don't see is a good economy car, unless one of those Darts or Dusters has a massive overdrive gear for highway cruising.
Congrats on the new shop Dylan. I'd really like to see you make that wicked challenger look good again, give it straight panels and some paint.
A lot of these cars i remember! So many good projects especially the ford police car! Can tell your gonna have a lot of great content! Thank you Dylan for all the great videos!
What a great episode, and some cool cars that you have and have had. I have a soft spot for Darts as well, I've owned a 63 wagon, 72, 74, and 76. The one car that made me want to see you do something good is...the VW wagon. That one's rough but they are so very cool when done. Watching you work gives me more motivation to continue my 79 Aspen Wagon project, I hope to be driving at bracket racing it in a couple of months. 😁
Congrats on the new building! Looking forward to watching you work in a bigger shop.
Whats cool is you have video documentation of your rigs, I have drawings and a couple of faded poloroids of my cars from 74 tosay 2005 when i actually had a camera! Good on you Dylan!
I would love to see you do something with that copper and white long box. Such a cool 70’s vibe with that rig.
On your Cordova ? You can buy a drain plug the re threads! Yep, I bought an old Chevy that leaked bzz as sky. Bought a retreaded plug. Now I own a Thread redo? Yep. It works great! 👍👍👍
I have enjoyed watching this video. I personally have had over 70 vehicles. But I am a little older than you. I regret getting rid of just about every one of them but I just didn't have the space to keep them. Your videos have really caused me to love Mopars. Especially the trucks. I really want to get a d100 short bed. I currently have a 99 Dakota. Thanks for providing very good and very clean family friendly videos.
The reason I don't give up on an engine when I see low compression is that the rings can be stuck, either by rust or by carbon. Use and heat cycles can free up rusted rings and fuel and oil detergents can often, though not always, free up carbon stuck rings, so low compression does not always mean engine overhaul. It might mean valve job too, which is in between.
The $600 Cordoba is what got me started watching your videos. I've been watching since.
Dylan, My Dad gave me His 5th Avenue with a 318 too! Loved that boat!
I had my buddy give me one but honestly after driving that and a 1975 imperial lebaron the fifth Ave definitely feels like a midsize or maybe even a compact 😂
Back in the 1990s I had a 1982 Dodge Diplomat with a 318 engine from the California Highway Patrol. That thing moved. Wish I still had it..!
Cannot wait to see your grandfathers truck fixed when you get it finished love what you are doing keep up the good work 👏
@Dylan McCool, Yes, Please bring the Cadillac back to life I think it's a Gorgeous car! Worth the time & respect of being repaired and driven again. Thank you 😊
Rump needs a good wash down, then a coat of Derek's "Shine Juice." It'll look great!
The ford custom I would love to see running.
My dad was a big gear head. Multiple old school k5s and K10s. Camaro here, Chevelle there. By the time I came around family needed dependable cars.
Since I was 16 I've owned give cars (mostly cheap Jeeps and a 98 k1500)
Im almost 27 and I dream to one-day have a set up like yours.
The Volkswagen Squareback, together with the Corvair wagon, have the best traction in 2wd! That is a keeper since you seem to have no other economy car!
the number one thing you need to start checking when you get a car or truck and the motor won't turn over is the transmission because the transmission can actually lock up from sitting and it make you think the engine is stuck but it isn't
Awesome shop! I had a vw square back years ago and really wanted to turn it into a baja. They climb hills really well lol.
1966 428 police interceptor in that Ford. Nice.
I appreciate your diverse interest in cars. If you could focus your time & attention to a couple of cars you could create some nice finished cars.
I really like your taste in cars, some great projects! Somethin about the 70's Dodge pickups, they're my absolute favorite. The new shop looks amazing, looking forward to the tour.
