Failed will it start. I worked on the car for a while to no avail. Unfortunately she’s just too far gone. In the video I say 67. It’s in fact a 66. Socials Facebook / thetylerlandry TikTok / saturnspeedshop Instagram / saturnspeedshop
It's so nice to see a guy that doesn't wait until he's done every other thing to the engine by adding fuel and testing things etc turning the car over ten or more times before he finally checks the POINTS! LOL. This man knows that they will be corroded and need a cleaning and just goes to it right off. Congrats friend!! You win the "smarter than most" Trophy. LOL. Great video thank you for the hard work!
That address has one more digit in front of the five on that card. Most likely Baxter sold that car back then because that was their neighborhood. Good luck.
1966 Sport fury . She is quite a looker for her years. Great looking car. I hope the owner's are looking to bring her back to life you do not see them any longer.
That depends on where you live. Here in Central and Southern Florida they're pretty common, we even have Fury/Belvedere/Coronet Car Clubs. I just bought a 65 Fury with a 318 that's going to build into daily driver/cruise-in/cars and coffee car and just for kicks I Googled Fury's in Florida and the mid 60's B and C body Mopars have BIG following down here.
The Commando V8 means it had a 4 barrel Carb instead of the stock V8 had a 2 barrel Carb. The 4 barrel only came on the 383 and 426, you could get the 4 barrel on a 318 but you had to order it and it still didn't come with the Commando badge, you had to order them seperately and put them on yourself.
The car is a 1966 Sport Fury. Commando was the designation for the 383 in that state if tune. This was the Plymouth competition to the Chevrolet Impala SS and Ford Galaxie 500 XL. The sporty full sized car. The luxury car was the VIP, which came as a 2 or 4 door. That is NOT patina. That is neglect. Patina cimes from careful use and maintenance. With the engine, pull the plugs. Do at least two full revolutions of the engine so all the valves open and closed.
No the Commando denotes a 383 or 426 with a 4 barrel carb, which they didn't come standard with, they came standard with a 2 barrel carb. My grandparents owned a Plymouth dealership from right after WWII until the early 80's when my grandfather passed away and I still have alot of the catalogs and factory order slips. You could also get a 4 barrel for the 318 but you had to order it and it didn't come with the Commando Badges, you had to order them seperately and had to put them on yourself.
As a general rule...... on engines that have been sitting for many years, you should always pull the plugs and spray some sort of lube in those cylinders. Rings will have dried out and by putting lube in there, that will also up your compression.....helping start the vehicle. Good video..... I can tell you watch a lot of Vice Grip Garage!! Derek is the man!! I wish you success on here my friend!!! 👍
I sprayed some fogging oil down the carb a couple of days prior. I know that I need to pull the plugs and dump some stuff in the cylinders. I honestly didn't have alot of time and I will probably revisit the car later. Just one of those things. It's hard working on other peoples stuff and being super limited on time and resources. Make sure to subscribe to see what happens in the future.
and after you get it running drain the oil and replace it, When I get a new project I change the oil and put the cheapest oil filter and "Store brand oil" I can find and then add 20-25% Murphy's Mystery Oil to it and run it for 100 miles then put good oil in it. The MMO will clean the inside of the engine and push all the sludge and oil that dried up and push it down in to the oil pan, when I do the 2nd oil change I will pull the pan completely off and and clean the pan and the crank then i'll generally throw a couple coats of paint on the oil pan and replace it with new gasket. Alot of times just changing the oil and filter isn't enough, you gotta clean it out unless your pulling it and tearing it down it completely down.
I love those car from the 60s , caint believe how well the out side that fury condition is in, but honestly I'd pull that motor an rebuild it 383 big block are so cool . I once was going to install one in a 1991 jeep wrangler green with a army star ,on the doors . Tha ks for posting . Good luck .
In the 50s & 60s they had elaborate names to make every option sound new & stylish. I drove a 1965 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Holiday Coupe, Fastback. With a 425 ultra-high compression super rocket V8, With the series 400 turbo hydro-matic 3 speed transmission with the switch pitch torque converter, and QI limited-slip differential. That was the body style & drivetrain with 9 added options to make it super special. You had several different interior patterns to choose from with 50 different fabrics to choose from in say 20 different color combinations. It gave you lots to tell your friends while you took them to Church. I bought it from my grandfather. He ordered all those options because in the TV commercial that car with those options raced an air force fighter jet down a runway! And grandma designed the interior with the center armrest, in seafoam green broadcloth a radio, a clock and made him get fender skirts they only put on for formal occasions.
@@TheREALOC1972 In that era, It was the way they made simple options sound so grand. It wasn't just red paint it was Rangoon Red, It was the Police Interceptor V8 or a Commando.
@@rockubtzer No it was Ruby Red, Chrysler Corp only made 2 reds in the early-mid60's The Red that's on this one was called Ruby Red. Paint code PLY30H by Plymouth, Vermillion Red, Paint code DOD30H by Dodge and Corporate Red, Paint code CHRY30H by Chrysler and little known fact, They sold their paint colors to AMC and AMC called it Antigua Red on the AMC's and Cordoba Red on the Jeeps. It's literally the same color and the same color code they would change the first 3 donations, Plymouth used PLY, Dodge used DOD and Chrysler used CHRY , the other Red was called Medium Red Poly by Plymouth, Dodge called it Dark Red and Chrysler called Dark Corporate red and the Paint Code for that 880.
@@TheREALOC1972 Sorry, I have poor eyesight... usually I go back and review the video before I reply. to avoid inserting my foot in my mouth. But I was sure that was a 65 ford in the thumbnail. Sorry to be such a Scamp spoiling your Fury fun. I shall bough my head and do the walk of shame.
@@rockubtzer Nah your good, they did have special colors for Police and Fire/EMT's but it was never released to the public and as far as I know you have either buy that paint from a dealership or strait from Chrysler themselves. My grandparents owned a Plymouth Dealership from right after 46-84 when my grandfather died and I have ALOT of the brocheures and paint chip books and all that, that's how I know, Your good man.
i worked on a 60-something Plymouth sport fury with a 440. i had to change the motor mount and fix the exhaust manifold. that was a nice car. she wouldn't sell it to, me though, she ended up selling it to some guy for 50 bucks so her boyfriend in prison could have cigarettes, never got paid for the job. she ended up getting knocked up and around by him and then he dumped her. karma
Did you take the plugs out an lube up down the plug holes .Put some 2 stroke fuel ⛽️ down the carb to help lube it up . Put a heater order the sump to warm the oil before you start it .all this may help when you go to turn it over . I’d say it’s a raised block 383 . . I had 2 of these with that front in Australia similar trim with the seats mine were the 4 door model with the 318 Poly motors both white one with red trim one with blue trim great cars . Get her done 👍🏻🇦🇺💯⛽️.
Whenever you cold or first start anything - can you please show whatever cranking you do on it from inside? Would be cool to see what you do with the gas pedal and controls when cranking them up. Subscribed!
@@saturnspeedshop can’t wait! Also anything carbed you have that you’d wanna cold start - I’m sure we wouldn’t mind that either. Great content and awesome channel - keep up the good work!
That's ok Tyler, yeah man, I had 67 sport fury, 383, 727 torque flight, 60 Dayna, I got more hoots, hollers and whistles in that car than my camaro, and chevel of the 60's and 70's.
They are some gorgeous cars. I’m considering buying this one. I haven’t decided yet because of the space I have at my house. My wife wouldn’t really appreciate me bringing home more junk. Lol
That car has 140,000 or 240,000 miles maybe 340,000 miles..people drove them a lot back then,these were reliable cars that held up very good.... True,the odometer says 40,000 etc..but it's only a 5 digit readout...The last 6th digit when equipped is the opposite color and only ever registers 1/10th of a mile...They roll from 99,999.9 to 00,000.0 never registers 100,000 miles,too bad it would save lots of confusion..and cars without the 6th digit aka 1/10th of a mile readout go to 99,999 to 00,000... Family members all drove these 60's and 70's cars well over 100,000 miles all were pushing 200,000 or close to it either over or just under... The trans fluid would be cleaner if only and not burnt at only 40k...727 is the toughest transmission around and I never seen a 727 with only 40k burnt like that..My Uncle had a pluming business in the 70's and had Dodge vans and the vans were loaded and even towed trailers and the transmissions were nice and pink at 40k..We did maint on them and set the bands every 50k as those vans were worked hard and put away wet.He had 50 at a time as he was in several areas,from 60's-00's..But the 70's vans had big block 400 and 440's and same trans as the Sport Fury.
You gave up too fast losen distributor and move it while you try to start it and use starting fluid but pull the plugs and put some oil down them and even if it had a rod lose it would run you only said that as an excuse for u giving up.the timeing chains stretch in them old cars so that why you need to move distributor just a little timeing chànge can make all the difference
