Honestly Scott, I don't think you should worry about racking up miles on the 59. You seem to rotate thru the coral pretty regularly, plus when 37 Chevy is done, you'll be adding that to the rotation. As another comment said, drive it & ENJOY!
Ramcharger will be the panic of car shows. 59 Fury super cool and now we can’t wait to see that nailhead get opened up so the flat top Buick can live again.
That 59 is a clear reminder that cars used to be art. And not just art you can look at , but it can be driven with and it doesn't feel like a chore. Have a great summer and greetings from Finland!
I love Ramchargers. Over the years I've owned 6, 2 pop-tops and 4 square bodies. '78 had the 400, and full time 4x4, but the '80 was the part time, fully loaded SE. 20 years ago I was searching for another pop-top, preferably another '80. Gave up and settled for a '80 Clubcab Powerwagon. That's a huge score in my books, heard of but never seen one with a bench seat.
That Ram Charger was a real find! The ASMR value of the gently crunching gravel and the purr of that sweet '59 was off the charts. It's amazing how Alberta went from frozen white to lush green so quickly. Beautiful.
Ya know, I've thought a bit about low mileage classics. I figure, if I'm not aiming to ever sell it, then who am I saving it for? Drive and enjoy that sucker. It's what it's for.
@@peteb2304 Absolutely. I can understand and appreciate the desire to steward things like classic cars for posterity, as historical/museum pieces, and future generations, but it's debatable whether those future generations will have any greater appreciation for it, or have any real use for it.
I've used this show to prove to my wife that 7 Motorcycles are a drop in the bucket compared to some people. A solid public service you're providing :p
The shot of the yellow fins and 'sport deck' out the rear window of the Plymouth was pure cinemascope, Scott. The view would make a great T-shirt. Please twist Dan's arm not to go with the winch front bumper. Chrome front and back bumpers on that rig looks like pure factory goodness.
I’ll say you’ve hit the nail on the head Scott. My better half watches your show of her own free will. Sometimes the occasional extra vehicle shows up and she gets worried I’ll just tell her to watch this very episode and listen to what you said. you have helped MAN kind the world over. Although we secretly wish to aspire to your lifestyle.❤️
Scott, I'm HAPPILY divorced here!! I wish I would have done it sooner!!! FREEDOM & piece of mind!!!!! Enjoy your cars, and your builds !!!!! I enjoy your channel immensely and the content can't be beat!!!! Seeing Franker's supervising is a treat, as well as visiting with all of the agents!!!! Tom is a cool addition too. Hey Tom, how the **** are you doing? Meh, same old **** like with me no doubt. Stay well. Franker's, I didn't see you on the intro today. Are you alright, or just taking a break??? Be well Scott, gotta love that '59 Fury!!!
Love it! When the originals came out in the 70s I wanted one badly until I found out Chrysler opted for a full time 4WD unit. I forget the name or make of the brand they chose. That was back in the early original gas shortage era and squeezing mpgs was the name of the game. Without the ability to lock out the hubs and turn off the 4WD I wasn't interested. This manual trans beauty is awesome. Nice catch! And seeing your beautiful '59 was once again nostalgic pleasure. I've mentioned my 59 Winter beater I picked up in college fall of 67. A rust belt survivor of the time in Youngstown. I miss that look back via the rear view mirror through those beautiful fins. She was a warm and dependable Winter beater also with the 318 and Torqueflite. What a wonderful era.
The Dodge Ramcharger, full size Ford Bronco, and Chevy K5 Blazer were ALL true gems of this era. Any of them in good condition today would be excellent for camping or fishing trips and recreational towing duties for an outdoor family getaway. They were great vehicles.
Scott the way you film and direct your channel is A-kin to public t.v. and I personally wouldn't have it any other way. Love the show love the channel. Cheers to you and All of the agents that make it all possible 🍻
What a beautiful time machine! I hope you get the feeling of going back in time and enjoying the ride the way automobiling was and should be Scott! Just remember to be home by Saturday to drop the next one!😆
Worked for a guy who bought a Ram Charger the last year produced in the U.S. I told him I wanted first shot if he sold it.. I bought it in 2001 ! Had it a week , my brother borrowed it to get back to his cattle (very bad road & a foot of snow). He rolled it over a steep hill into the "holler" as we call them... The insurance company totaled it from pictures alone .. The nxt spring we winched it out ... I bought it back from the insurance co for zero dollars because they would'nt even attempt to get it out.. Sold the drive train & junked the body . (My brother wasnt hurt , although it should've been his end). Always wanted another one but they have all been heaps of junk .. But I did find a 1990 K-Blazer I drove for severals years .. But the road salt in the Tenn mtns rotted it horribly & I sold it...
OMG - the drive by shots of this vehicle are just so sweet! The stance of this old truck is just perfect and so different than any you would find in a modern vehicle! LOVE IT……..❤️❤️❤️
Wow that Ramcharger is a great find! I never realized those came with rocker panels, floors and wheel arches when new! Also, thanks for taking one for the team and making all the other deranged car hoarders look slightly less insane...(I'm just taking a break to type this after dragging a 235 engine block accross my living room floor)
Living in town center with no free parking other than my own lawn around the house (officially frowned upon when used as parking, the only garage with the house being the workshop from day one), I share a subterranean garage with my neighbor who is into old cars enough to add said garage as a private add-on for his collection under a rental he built a couple years ago as his retirement plan ..... having a partner in crime owning enough private and secluded parking spots high enough for a martially looking LandRovers and a random all-wheel-drive VW Vanagon with roofrack between his sportscars to readily house old Citroëns, Alfas and Italian motorcycles in numbers for a fair rent definitely helps - or doesn't help, at all, depending from which view point You might look at it 😂
Hey Kyle! Yeah, I've only ever seen the ones with "rocker delete"! Haha I'll keep doing what I can to help others look less nutty... (although I can't say it'll work for you!)
Boy that Fury is like stepping into 1959 what a treat The Ram charger brought back memories I helped a friend swap out slanted 6 and put in a V8 it was an easy job
My step dad owned a 1976 Ramcharger that was equipped with a four speed, four wheel drive, 440 4 barrel, bright orange with a white removable top.and so forth. I enjoyed it, but it was stolen in ‘79 and never recovered. What a stunning black beauty-crazy nice!
Takes me back to my Chrysler Dodge dealer tech days. We never sold those in great numbers but there were a few nice ones that went through the dealership. By 1991 I was considered a seasoned Chrysler tech as I started in 1969. The early 90s were spent elbow deep in the infamous A604 ultradrive electronic front wheel drive transmission. I averaged 6 overhauls a week in those days.
Usually every time you go to the GCFCE there's a foot of snow and everything is white. It looks totally different with green trees and grass. It's unbelievable to find such a nice Ramcharger. I figured with the long winters and all the salt that one that old would be rusted to pieces. What a great find for sure. Dan is a great guy and very knowledgble and has a great eye for detail.
Dan procures another Dodge, imagine that, and what a great find it is. The ‘59 is such a superb example of the late 50’s sedans with it’s huge interior and lots of glass. Another fine episode, Scott.
I've never seen a manual, much less a bench seat in a ramcharger. What a grgreat find. That's a keeper. Fins and clear steering wheels are still cool. And Scott, you're better off with the cars, no wife and no furniture
14:10 Poppy head liner. Support the vets ... Always. Back in 1959 the roads and parking spots must have been more spacious . Trying to maneuver that 59 into a parking spot today would be brutal.
The Ramcharger is a sweetheart. It would be interesting to see how many of the horns in your vehicles actually work. All it would take is a battery, a switch, and a few jumper wires. Old horns sound so much better than the new ones do.
I can honestly say I have remained subscribed since the day I subbed to the channel. It does help I think, that I watch every single episode the day they come out. Like it enough I am a proud patron.
Thanks so much for the kind words and for being one of the kind and generous people who keep this channel on the air... I really couldn't do it without you guys... Cheers from me and Frankers!
My wife thought i was insane, but then i introduced her to the Cold War Motors youtube channel . and now , in comparison, she thinks i'm completely normal. Thanks Cold War Motors
That Ramcharger's rear side window is a nice design, the slight curve to the window gives it that fish bowl look. I believe uncle Tony's garage has a similar looking Ramcharger, dunno what happend with it though... Appreciate another week with the agents good sir's.
Had my '86 for 15 years. A Texas truck, it's rust free but it's always just been an old beater, although not abused since I've had it. I started rebuilding it after the wife died, something to keep my mind off my troubles. It now sports a 490lbft 410 stroker mated to a late model 8HP70 eight speed automatic, D60's, Edelbrock PF4 EFI and a loong list of other stuff. Even though it was initially built with junkyard parts and a $200 360 engine it's been the most dependable old truck I've ever had and has never left me stranded. We went to Colorado a couple times, made a trip to Moab Utah and wheeled it for five days, and New Mexico several times. Before long it's going on an extended trip around the western U.S. Up to Oregon and wherever else the road leads, maybe even Alaska.
Forgot it was Thursday, it's been that kind of week. Still subscribed and a Patreon member. You may want to keep the miles low on the 59, but if you don't drive them you have problems.
Congrats to Dan. That Ram Charger is a real beauty. Those new Coopers might lead to a new program segment, "My Posh Tires". The 59 Fury ride over there was interesting. I'm something of a temp gauge junkie when I see old car videos, and the gauge seemed to be staying in its happy zone just fine. That's always a good thing with an old car. I was at an all-Mopar car show last Sunday, and either of these gems would have drawn a crowd there (especially the Fury).
Nice to see the '59 getting some fresh air. That classic must be a joy to drive. Cheers to you and all the agents and keep bringing the awesome content!😊😊😊😊😊😊
That Ramcharger is pretty sweet. I honestly can’t remember when I seen one last. My friend in high school had the Plymouth version the Trail Duster but it wasn’t nearly as nice.
If any of you guys are looking for one of these, there is one available where I am. it is a 1992 360 V8 automatic 4X4, which is extra rare in Mexico, and it is a good price. I have a lot of pictures of it if you are interested. By the way door to door shipping is available. Thanks for showing this one, Scott.
The 59 is suck a lovely car. I liked the Ramcharger too. It looks to be in great condition. Looking forward to the weekends shenanigans. All the best, Mart in England.
Such a sweet find in that '91 Ramcharger, the only thing I don't like about it is that I don't own it! That would look so good sitting next to my '84 W-150 short bed "Marksman" (that came with a special edition Winchester 30-30, that I also still have in it's original box). And Scott, that '59 it just leaves me speachless....Thank Y'all so much for sharing.
I had an 82 Ram Charger Prospector package 4 wheel drive and out of all the rigs I've owned I miss that one the most. Even back in the 90's it was hard to find parts for seeing Chrysler wasn't even making enough parts for spare parts at the dealerships. Always liked the tailgate cause you could get under it during a rain storm.
That's a really nice find on the Ramcharger. I also enjoy the 59 Fury, its a time capsule. Seeing Dan's new toy reminded me that I recently saw a nice looking Ramcharger in traffic near Columbus OH that stood out to me since it had 8 lug wheels & the distinctive sound of a Cummings diesel. Someone went & built himself the ultimate Ramcharger.
Dear CWM Scott N. 👍👌👏 Although the outside and inside gorgeous green Frazer's interior, especially dashboard and steering wheel, is my favourite, I happily admit: Maaaan, looking at the very special steering wheel of your '59 Plymouth Fury is really a treat! 🙌 Apropos beauty: I guess I know pretty well why Francine didn't come with you this time. After you told her about the newly purchased GCFCE car, she simply feigned disinterest. Because the interior is black and dark grey, the Diva's beauty wouldn't be able to shine as much as usual! 😁 ;-) I'm just kidding of course. 3) Congratulations! Maaaan, this DRC is definitely a really clean original good looking vehicle! Especially for not being a low kilometres/mileage car and already over 30 years old. It was well kept by the former owners. Congrats to the GCFCE agent for selling the red truck (you can't respectively should better not keep 'em all). Because of the immaculate condition of the interior, I bet it was parked in a garage respectively under a roof when not driven. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you (including the beautiful black poodle Diva of course).
It's really generous of Dan to give so much airtime to his constantly evolving collection. He really has an eye for picking up old cars with potential. I wonder where the red D100 ended up? That one was a real stunner, someone's going to be very happy with it!
my god that is the nicest Ramcharger I have seen yet! My brother had a '79 fully loaded with a 360 - It was fun but brutal, that is the Imperial of RamChargers! great find
Good old west coast find on that Ram Charger! You just don't find good original cars/trucks like that here in Texas. Being from Seattle, I kind of miss that! Cheers from Lubbock!
the sound of the Fury pulling in though! how many years we waited to see you driving it, windows down, Francine was in the back seat a few weeks ago, when Charlie had to do with horse drawn carriage that day!
That has to be the nicest Ramcharger I have ever seen. My buddy bought a new Ramcharger in 1976, with a auto/318, buckets and console. He put a snowplough on it. Completely gutless gas guzzler. Wandered all over the road and the body was completely rotten by 70,000 miles. But we did have some fun with it, took the top off in the summer. And drove it way out on the lake ice fishing in the winter. It would definitely go places, till you high centered, lol
That is an amazing ride. All the agents could instruct a master class in sourcing gems like that, except for maybe Dean. Lol thanks for the eye candy and sound bites.
Scott the obvious cure to keep the miles off the 59 Plymouth is to have another that's not as good and drive the heck out of it. That ram charger brings back memories. most were 360 5.9 fully loaded auto's he found a rare gem.
