@DylanMcCoolVideo i think this car would be best suited for a budget v8 hotrod, sort of like roadkills Red duster, swap a 318 or 360 magnum truck motor into it and make it run for as cheap as possible. I aint trying to tell you what to do just throwing out an idea
Hey Dylan, If by chance you r wanting to sell or get rid of any of the other Coca Cola or other bottles or Charlie Brown or glass, please let me know as I collect bottles and glasses as well.
I worked at at a gas station @1972, and we had a customer that had a ‘63 Valiant. Slant 6, rod knock, burned a quart of oil a day. He’d stop by every couple of days to fill the crankcase. We sold him drain oil 10 cents a quart. He’d thank us by revving it and smoking up the drive.
Yes those slant sixers were a tough engine had one that was laying on the ground for a couple of years uncovered put it in a pickup truck that I had it ran and yes it was a oil burner but still ran worked for about a year and it spun a bearing stil ran for about another week before it died
Guys always talk about how reliable and bulletproof Slant 6s are, but I've known of a few that blew up! Usually someone ran em low on oil and spun a rod bearing, and just kept driving it.
I never owned a slant six but I had a 300 straight six that I didn’t measure in gallons of gas per mile, I passed it on quarts of oil a mile. I kept a couple gallons of used oil in washer fluid jugs on the passenger floor board.
I think I remember Plymouth Valiants were purchased for military airport shuttle cars back in the day. That number under the hood and the green color are good clues.
Yes utility companies,armed forces etc will buy the cheapest,lowest spec available ( some manufacturers even offer what's known as fleet spec which are even more spaten). I'd say this is very likely ex forces.
The numbers are it's internal id/fleet number. The letters are probably it's location/base or department identifier, the number it's individual identification.
Dylan, as it's a manual car, what I did in the past that worked for me was to soak the cylinders as you did, put it in top gear and then put someone at either end of the car and alternately push/rock the car back, then forward. It wont be quick, but you get to turn the engine without over tightening the crank bolt. It worked for me on a 71 Rover sedan and I'm sure you'd approve of the fact that a month later, it was mended, inspected and back on the road, cutting a dash in a sea of modern dross.
Can also do it the easy way and tow it with a vehicle, throw a bunch of weight in the trunk. Could hook a kinetic recovery rope to the rear anchored on something, so it'd pull or rock it backwards after tugging it forward a little.
You are correct. That is a replacement engine; probably from an early to mid 1970s model. The original engine would have been painted red and the valve cover would have a series of lines stamped into the top; whether it was a 170 or a 225. The engine that is in it now also appears to have a EGR valve on the exhaust manifold. Definitely no EGRs in 1963! It’s a cool score … especially being former military duty. Finding a good used windshield for it will be tough. They all tended to delaminate and turn white. They make aftermarkets but they do have a tint band running across the top of them. A good, undented set of headlight rims is nearly unobtainium anymore.
In the late 1980's, my grandfather, father and myself restored a 1963 Plymouth Valiant Signet 100 convertible. That car originally had an aluminum block slant six...but a rod was hanging out the side. Not sure when the aluminum block production was ended, but there aren't many out there. Congrats on your family addition! Keep up the great work.
I had a 63 Valiant in 69, slant 6, automatic. I put 60,000 miles on it in the year that I had it with, shamefully, zero care or maintenance. It never let me down once.
@@unknownsoul13that's a ton of Mike's in one year! My dad was a Chrysler guy for a long time, and we had a few slant-six powered vehicles. They were dead dependable, and the only issue I remember was the ballast resistor going bad.
@@120man yep. 19:years old, poor as a church mouse, and not very vehicle savvy back then. That poor thing took a beating and kept on ticking no matter what I did to it .
For future reference, shorten your chain length between tractor and object being pulled-this allows more of the weight being pulled to transfer into downward force on the hitch (more traction) for your tractor
My daily driver is a 1965 Chrysler Valiant AP6 built in Australia 🇦🇺 like me. I love it and it’s how you recycle you look after the family car and drive it. My Valiant is just beautiful and as I drive around town kids wave adults beep the horn and wave. I stop at car parks and people ask if they can take photos and I say of course. My baby has no power steering and no air conditioning. It’s so funny watching kids and friends try and work out how to let cool air in 😂 wind down the window it’s a lost art. My car was $13K 8 years ago it’s now worth more than $40K and the old girl is insured for $45K as she is irreplaceable.
Nice. My father in 1974 ( New Zealand) bought an immaculate AP 6 , manual ,done 45000 ish miles , it had blue Regal interior, two tone blue exterior. He owned it until 1980 , when he bought a very tidy VH Ranger XL. In 1980 my first car was also an AP 6 , identical to dads one. They're great cars. These days Iv'e got dads VH , and an AP 6 Regal project car .I know what you mean about getting attention, when we used the VH for going on holiday a few years ago , we were constantly getting thumbs up .👍
yes those ol dually flatbed are a good starting point for a heap of different types of projects one could strip the dually bed off and build a camper on the frame one could build a roll back type bed out of the dump bed keep it as a flat bed work horseorse alot could be done with that truck assuming the frame isnt to rotted if dylan decides not to fool with it i hope he just sells it instead of parting it out
My 1966 Chevelle has a Redstone Arsenal bumper sticker on it. I guess the previous owner was a serviceman. There is also a Fort Monmouth bumper sticker on it and that is near where I live in New Jersey.
I was born in 1983...and I AM 41 years old, so thanks for that Dylan...😂😂😂 If that Valiant is in decent condition (I haven't watched the whole video yet), but this thing would be REALLY fun to drive with a 383 and an A-833 4 speed with some 3:73 gears with a posi. I would keep the 225 and 3 speed and set it aside for if you ever sell it, but I would cram a big block in there with a 4 speed manual. I had a 74 Dart Custom sedan with the 225 and an auto with 16,000 original miles on it, and when I say that it was in MINT condition, it was mint. I always wanted to put a big block in it, but I drove it for a few, it was HORRIBLE on fuel mileage, and then I sold it for $1500. I got it and a 1976 Buick Skylark with an Olds 260 (the 110HP 4.3L V8) with a TH200 and 34,000 original miles for free, and I drove them both then sold them.
Congrats on the new addition! Please keep this thing around a while, I’d love to see it get a new motor and floor patches and just be a cool comfortable cruiser.
So cool, what you are doing with Briar, I did back in the early to mid 80’s at shop that did restoration work. He was about 20 years older than you, but I was Briars age. I did all the nasty wrench work, and it taught me lots! Not fun then, but what I learned was awesome! You are definitely making memories! For me and Briar! Keep it up Dylan!
This is the third video I’ve watched today about an older gentleman collecting crazy amounts of cars over the years. At least these cars are getting a second chance! Just think, this car has been sitting still for twice as long as it was driven!
@@corydunaway for some reason your pairing the idea that just because you don’t smoke you can’t get it which u can either way it doesn’t really matter how healthy u are. Why are you denying someones idea of being safe or careful tryna make an exception over how good someones lungs are lol you know cars make smoke to right lol.
Enjoyed the video. A few years ago i had a Farmall Super C tractor with a locked up engine give to me. It had been setting about 14 years. I filled the cylinders full of PB Blaster and ATF. It took close to a year to get it freed up. I was walking past it one day and thought i would give it a try. I grabbed a pry bar and pried on the flywheel and much to my surprise it moved about an inch. I hooked a jump box to it and it fired right up and i drove it around. Ended up giving it back to the guy that gave it to me.
Weird in the past few years my tastes have changed so much from muscle cars this old and interested so much in stuff from the last 10-15 years. I watched you for a while and still enjoy seeing your vids when they pop up. Cheers.
I'm glad you saved another one from the crusher. It would be a good first classic project car for somebody. Sometimes I wonder how many more good abandoned classics are still out there just waiting to be saved.
How many of us McCool fans once owned this same model Plymouth? Mine; Slant Six, Three On the Tree, Four Door, back in the early, early 1980's... also paint color, Same. It ran exceptionally well, but with my finances unable to take care of its needed suspension issues, I had a friend of a friend that had the dough and took it off my hands and kept it on the road for another decade!
Great Job, saving another one and I know we'll see it again. One thing, please mention to Briar when he's in the woods like that to take his hands out of his pockets that's a good way to get a broken shoulder.
I had both, signant and valiant. Signant was the luxury Canadian model with a blown motor and did the swap with the valiant that was a rust bucket but ran great.
Dylan, I don't think I've seen you try evapo-rust to break loose an engine, but I'm really impressed at how well it cleans up rusty parts. It's thinner than trans fluid, and I think it might get down around the rings better. You just need to let it soak a few days before trying to break the engine loose. Good job, as always!
Cool bottle collection. If you look on the bottom you might find a logo for O-I know as Owens-Illinois glass. I don't know what era of bottles but my dad was a machinist/mold maker and did Dr. Pepper bottles, among others. The bottles that were rejected were melted down and would just collapse on themselves. Dad would use them as ashtrays. Unexpected little trip of memories, thanks.
i rescued one out of a gravel pit, on the sides was a winter tide mark that was just below the windows (according to the farmer it had been in the gravel pit for over a decade), the clutch was rusted to the flywheel, i put a small truck battery in poured fuel down the carb, hit the key and it started lurching forward, it eventually fired and we left the gravel pit at full throttle, by the time i got home the clutch was working fine, it was an oil burner ... but it was free, and it was still going when i left the farm years later.
I often walk through local creeks and find some cool old bottles. I once found a 1930s Dr. Pepper bottle with that 10,2,4 logo embossed into it. The old soda bottles are my favorite!!!
That robins egg blue was the color that old Willys Jeep engines were repainted when Sears rebuilt them. I wonder if Sears rebuilt other engines back in the day and painted them the same way? And if that was military at some point, it said "For Official Use Only".
Hi from Sweden. My first car was a Chrysler Valiant V2oo Signet hardtop 1964 with a 225 slant six and push button automatic. Bucket seats. Loved that car.
I'm really digging on that older Ram around the 1:03.35 mark. I think it looks really good sitting on those wheels. It makes me miss my old 1983 Ramcharger.
That Valiant is definitely an old military vehicle. My Dad has a 66 Dodge D200 Stepside with the slant 6 and 4 speed on the floor that was an old Air Force truck. It says AF-71 under the hood and has the badge on the glove compartment door that has the military info on it.
@Dylan, The military used a lot of civilian cars and still does today. These are military police, recruiters, commanders staff cars, etc. The numbers on your car are the military registration number. I believe it was an US Air Force car hence the blue truck lid and white top. The US Army painted their vehicles all green. The number under the hood is a registration number the Army assigns to all it's vehicles. The writing on the doors is the way the Air Force marked their vehicles. It would have been in the following format. U.S. AIR FORCE 63 K 5359 For Official Use Only I think the Army picked up the car from the Air Force and applied their registration number under the hood. Some of their cars were marked like the Air Force except it's format was the following U.S. Army 1 A 5359 For Official Use Only There might be an additional data plate on the car stating Property of the US Government. Could be in the door jams, under the hood or attached to the glove box. Hope this helps!
The IK on it is the Military Designation for the Vehicle, more or less what its job was. Looks like you got what use to be an Officers Vehicle according to a quick google search. The Basic Mission, Design Number, and Series Letter are mandatory components of the MDS designation. The Vehicle Type symbol is only required for special vehicles. I can't tell you what the numbers all stand for, as I was just a mechanic, I made sure they kept going down the road. Good find though!
67-72 Chevy... Looked like maybe 71, like ya said...! I would've much rather watched that project versus any Mopar junk...! Thanks for sharing... Keep up your awesomeness...!
Would love to see this come up another level. Change engine, get some seats, etc. I think the door says “For Official Use Only”. I’d bet it’s an old staff car,
I am no expert. However. That engine has an E.G.R. valve and is painted blue. I think it is much newer than the car is. Of coarse I am writing this before I finished the video. Thank you for the post. Your content is far better than anything Hollywood can produce.
The other video showed up in my feed first. So sorry I was already watching it when this was posted. But it was interesting. 52:19 Ok I remember someone had a similar problem and something was wedged in the ring gear. Hoping that is so here. Let’s see. 57:36 I remember in elementary school a Mello Yello representative came to school when it came out. He was there for the students to try it out.
What did you think of this car rescue?
Don’t forget to check out the second channel video!

Show us whats in the trunk.

Ran used oil in my old one would fill the oil and check the gas
Yes those slant sixers were a tough engine had one that was laying on the ground for a couple of years uncovered put it in a pickup truck that I had it ran and yes it was a oil burner but still ran worked for about a year and it spun a bearing stil ran for about another week before it died

I'm curious, did the Army purchase them because of their cheap price and affordability?
@@bluerazor7049 I honestly don't know. I just remember seeing them in old training videos and a newspaper article.
Yes utility companies,armed forces etc will buy the cheapest,lowest spec available ( some manufacturers even offer what's known as fleet spec which are even more spaten).
I'd say this is very likely ex forces.
The numbers are it's internal id/fleet number.
The letters are probably it's location/base or department identifier, the number it's individual identification.
The engine colour also probably points towards a special application IE low power/spec.
The legend on the door is supposed to say "For Official Use Only". This is an Army staff car.
this writer agrees, the paint was the first hint, then the 'IK----' is the next. Is it Army or USMC?
Since it also says "Huntsville" my best guess is that it was in use by the "Redstone Arsenal" in Huntsville AL.
Nothing beats having a lunchbreak watching Dylan McCool!
Congratulations on your second offspring! Many happy returns!

Congratulations you guys on the new member to the Family, God Bless you all❤.
Engine was swaped out at some point,, it has a EGR and its blue,, the 63 engine was red.
Hi deflane
Dear Dylan,
Congratulations on your new life that you were allowed to receive. God's blessing and his help along the way during the upbringing.
I have owned a 1963 Valiant for 28 years. It is a push button automatic.....great car !😊
For future reference, shorten your chain length between tractor and object being pulled-this allows more of the weight being pulled to transfer into downward force on the hitch (more traction) for your tractor
It’s honestly a beautiful looking car. I love the styling.
When he got it clear of the brush, it started looking OK, got it out in the clearing, looking good, got it in the garage, pretty cool looking.

Oh yeah would love to fix that up
Part 2 please
Dillon put some CLR in the spark plug holes and that will do it
Huntsville, huh? I wonder whether it was once military equipment used at Redstone Arsenal.

Dylan this is going to be a must watch series. 🔥
I remember as a kid in the early seventies we had a white color Plymouth valliant three on the tree slant six it would scream down the road!
Wow, even that beefy tractor had trouble pulling that thing out. Been there a while! Thanks for the videos! 👍👍
How many of us McCool fans once owned this same model Plymouth?
Mine; Slant Six, Three On the Tree, Four Door, back in the early, early 1980's... also paint color, Same.
It ran exceptionally well, but with my finances unable to take care of its needed suspension issues, I had a friend of a friend that had the dough and took it off my hands and kept it on the road for another decade!
Great Job, saving another one and I know we'll see it again. One thing, please mention to Briar when he's in the woods like that to take his hands out of his pockets that's a good way to get a broken shoulder.
It is a possible project car for those who like the Valiant. Nice work getting out of the woods.
You can see where there were words stencilled on the doors. Definitely some type of official vehicle
Digging cars out would be a blast!
Just to clarify ... that wasn't just ANY spider in the cylinder, that was a Chrysler Spider ... even its legs were arranged into a pentastar! 😂
reverse(left hand thread(counter clockwise to tighten and clockwise to loosen them)) thread is only on the left side of any vehicles that have them
Congratulations on the new baby. I hope that mom and baby are doing well.
That letting looks awfully like the old style military stencils.....
Love the vintage looking Pepsi can under the front
I had both, signant and valiant. Signant was the luxury Canadian model with a blown motor and did the swap with the valiant that was a rust bucket but ran great.

Hi from Sweden. My first car was a Chrysler Valiant V2oo Signet hardtop 1964 with a 225 slant six and push button automatic. Bucket seats. Loved that car.
I'm really digging on that older Ram around the 1:03.35 mark. I think it looks really good sitting on those wheels. It makes me miss my old 1983 Ramcharger.
Looks so good
I’m more excited about the dually than the four-door valiant.
Good luck buddy
Plz revive the dually truck plz plz
That Valiant is definitely an old military vehicle. My Dad has a 66 Dodge D200 Stepside with the slant 6 and 4 speed on the floor that was an old Air Force truck. It says AF-71 under the hood and has the badge on the glove compartment door that has the military info on it.
Pretty neat looking old car
Man, I'd love to get ahold if one of those old valiants. I had a 1972 that I drove forever and still miss 30 years after I sold it.
@Dylan,
The military used a lot of civilian cars and still does today. These are military police, recruiters, commanders staff cars, etc. The numbers on your car are the military registration number. I believe it was an US Air Force car hence the blue truck lid and white top. The US Army painted their vehicles all green. The number under the hood is a registration number the Army assigns to all it's vehicles. The writing on the doors is the way the Air Force marked their vehicles. It would have been in the following format.
U.S. AIR FORCE
63 K 5359
For Official Use Only
I think the Army picked up the car from the Air Force and applied their registration number under the hood. Some of their cars were marked like the Air Force except it's format was the following
U.S. Army
1 A 5359
For Official Use Only
There might be an additional data plate on the car stating Property of the US Government. Could be in the door jams, under the hood or attached to the glove box. Hope this helps!
who the fuck are you....? rue??? fbi? cia? dea?....? huh?
Be kinda neat if he restored it to kind of look like it did way back.
The dr pepper commercial jingle way back was "drink a bite to eat at 10 - 2 and 4". Hince the clock on the bottle.
Great find.... Show us whats in the trunk!
The IK on it is the Military Designation for the Vehicle, more or less what its job was. Looks like you got what use to be an Officers Vehicle according to a quick google search. The Basic Mission, Design Number, and Series Letter are mandatory components of the MDS designation. The Vehicle Type symbol is only required for special vehicles. I can't tell you what the numbers all stand for, as I was just a mechanic, I made sure they kept going down the road. Good find though!
That's a really cool looking car
That could become the ultimate sleeper with a 360,383,or 440 and it has the right amount peddles
Agreed. A 383 would be awesome.
Likely an MP car.
67-72 Chevy... Looked like maybe 71, like ya said...! I would've much rather watched that project versus any Mopar junk...! Thanks for sharing... Keep up your awesomeness...!
Dylan McLovin' givin' old cars new life!
congratulations on new babie
Diffently a military sedan. I was a driver for an army colonel back in the old days.
Would love to see this come up another level. Change engine, get some seats, etc. I think the door says “For Official Use Only”. I’d bet it’s an old staff car,
Hey Dylan, that ik 5953 is just a bumper number for the car, so they can keep the maintenance logs with the right vehicle and inventory etc.
Congratulations on the new kid!!!
This and that garage would love that truck. That's the type of thing he usually does videos on.
I am no expert. However. That engine has an E.G.R. valve and is painted blue. I think it is much newer than the car is. Of coarse I am writing this before I finished the video. Thank you for the post. Your content is far better than anything Hollywood can produce.
Great job guys
thank's for this show guy's
My dart looked just like this now my daily good luck brother
The other video showed up in my feed first. So sorry I was already watching it when this was posted. But it was interesting.
52:19 Ok I remember someone had a similar problem and something was wedged in the ring gear. Hoping that is so here. Let’s see.
57:36 I remember in elementary school a Mello Yello representative came to school when it came out. He was there for the students to try it out.
Good score! My last Valiant was one of these, but being in Australia, the steering was on the RHS, and it was a Chrysler, not Plymouth.
Bonnie wee beastie. Bet Sleeperdude wouldn't mind those RC Cola bottles if you can remember to bring 'em to whatever racing venue...
