FORGOTTEN 30 YEARS! Will This 1970 Dodge Coronet RUN and DRIVE? 

You had me at Coronet.

You Two Kill me.......The tapping of the Light before hot pursuit was PRICELESS!!!!

My '65 Valiant with a slant 6 is stored outside all winter in upstate NY's harsh winters. In the spring, I hook up the battery that was on a tender all winter and pump the gas pedal twice. It starts right up year after year. I love this engine!

Not gonna lie out of all the people posting car stuff I really really like your channel because you seem to be fairly professional without even noticing 😅 like your work always looks solid when your done and I really like that about your channel

My father had its twin, a 1970 Plymouth Satellite 4dr. Same color with the 318 V8. Built like a tank. Good luck with the Dodge.

Yes! Good to see a Wednesday video. Seems like all the car channels have been dropping on Friday so this is nice to watch during the middle of the week. :)

My uncle had one he passed down to be years ago. Still at his house. It has a 440 in it and a 4 speed. I got it when I was 15 and still have it and I'm 31. Definitely one of the nicest 4 doors made in 1970

Love the old Coronet! My first car was a 66 Coronet 440 two door hardtop 318, automatic transmission, no power anything, AM radio, and heater. Once I put a chrome air cleaner on it, dual exhaust, glass packs, and chrome tips I had the perfect car.

Cant wait to see this thing alive!

Babe wake up, new Dylan McCool just dropped

Dylan. I love the basic 4-door sedans of the late 60’s and 70’s. This Dodge looks pretty good considering it’s been sitting outside. Please continue to bring these awesome videos and I’ll definitely keep on watching.

70 coronet is the front end of them all :O

way back in the day (mid 80's) my buddy had a dodge dart swinger with the slant 6 and a 3 speed on the tree. he beat the crap out of it and it eventually lost second gear so he just wound out first until it floated the valves and then shifted it into third. he did that for years and the engine never failed. slant 6 engine will not die.

Another hidden gem rescued by Dylan ❤

Seems crazy how good the outside is and how ruff the interior is in comparison I was excited for you till you opened the doors..still a good looking ol car!!

That is awesome mate! even it it is short on options it's still a cool car! I've never really understood the 2 door versus 4 door thing , I would be happy with either 🙂

Dylan kinda seem obsessed with police cars. Need to drop a Hemi in it. Looks impressive. That slant 6 cylinder are awsome. Thanks for sharing! 💯👍👊

Dylan this brings me back to 1987 and 2 firsts for me my first MOPAR and my first big block I ever owned. I bought a 69 Dodge Coronet 4door sedan for 75.00 bucks with no engine or transmission it was a 318 car. One of my buddies had a 70 383 2 barrel and 727 out of a 70 Chrysler Newport that I bought for 100 dollar bill. That I turned into what I called Grandma’s Grocery Getter. It was Turquoise with black interior white wall tires on black steel wheels dual exhaust she ran great and even turned a 9.79 in an eighth mile. I would love to have another one and build it with some modern technology like EFI And 4wheel disc brakes and 15x8 MOPAR cop rims black of course with 225 60 15’s. And for dual exhaust Borla XS pro mufflers. Love the Tennessee State Trooper look it fits perfectly with your fleet. Eddie Patterson Silverstreet South Carolina.

Always loved the headlights on these!

My grandpa ran a Coronet for 35 yrs before selling in about 2005. He was obsessive about maintenance, so it still looked and ran perfectly the day he sold it.

Darn you are holding out on us , I see a yellow Barracuda over on the side...

You got that dodge looking good and running smooth keep up the good work and keep bringing them old cars and trucks back to life

I’ve always loved the look of the cornets/super bees

My favourite part of all these roadsterations are the brakes and drum rebuilds, no matter what type of vehicle I love it when I get to see the brakes and drums.

talk about memories! took my drivers test in a 1970 coronet 318 car my grandfather bought new.

Yep, started right up. The old Leaning Tower of Power does it again! That's a good honest car. They don't make good honest cars anymore. Glad this one's back on the road 👍

Howdy from south central Texas 🤠

WHat I Love Seeing is you boys learning Three on the Tree what I thought would be lost....Is great to see be revived!!!!!! Dylan I know you have done it before. Still!!

Absolutely love how these beautiful old cars are restored and put back on the road. Thank you Dylan. Cheers 🇨🇦🇺🇸👍

I think it is cool you are teaching a young man to drive a Three on the column car.

The Coronet turned out awesome cool and with one of my favorite engines, Slant 6. Loved the video Dylan and it brought a big smile on my face 😃👍

Always loved these 1970 4 door models, especially the some what low trim manual ones like this, I hope you hang on to it, I know I sure would if I found one.

I got even more excited about this car once I seen that it had the slant 6!

I don’t like many 4 door cars but I have to say I really like this one!

Well done with the safety glasses! Thanks for being a solid role model!

That's a Mc"Cool" old Mopar .

A cheap old spotlight for the A pillar would be cool. 😊🚨 I like those Coronets. 👍👍

Good to see you back bud

Love the way it came along car looks great and purrs down the road

Wow, Dylan, I love how you made this a police car. And did some what of a car chase! Before I started watching this video, I was looking something up and saw a picture of this car sitting in your shop, and I thought you had got another police car. Then I watched this video and saw that you turned this car into a police car. I said to myself, "Wait a minute. Was that the same car that I saw on Google?" Apparently, it is the same car. Awesome job.👍

0:20 heck yeah. nice intro, love me a dodge! what a beauty.

That and the 1970 thru 1972 hidden headlight Fury's are my fav Mopar front ends of all times.

Hi Dylan from west Alabama

Dylan you're the best. I'd love to see the metal work and interior refresh. Ebay budget restoration!

'70 Coronet, one of my favorite cars !!

I had the anti-chatter springs in the clutch on my 1972 Dodge D-100 pickup come out and lock up the clutch. Same drive train as this sedan. Repair shop said they had never seen such a failure. Worth checking.

We need more of this in our hobby. Budget builds, getting them back on the road and yes, saving the sedans! Great work, as always.

You guys made it look really good, and it is running too, ya can't beat that😊

Can’t believe how little you spent on that revival and how cool it now looks! Great job guys!

Plain Jane

That 225 slant 6, with its clattering valve train and exhaust manifold leaking "ticks", bought back many memories. As a child, already starting to get interested in cars, I did my first valve lash in 1975 on our 1968 Plymouth Valient's 225 slant 6. With the engine hot, valve cover removed and the engine idling (splattering oil), I recall adjusting the intake valves to 0.010" and the exhaust to 0.020". I still remember the "feel" of how the valve train forcefully moves while you slip the feeler gauge above the valve tip and how, when adjusted properly, the engine would misfire. You could theoretically get a tiny increase in power by using 0.008" and 0.019, but I couldn't really feel any power increase... We replaced that '68 with a brand new 1978 Plymouth Volare station wagon. This time with the "high performance" Super-6. The Super-6 came with a 2-barrel carburetor but actually had less power than the 1968 Valient's single barrel carburetor when stock. The Volare wagon didn't have many options but did have the "heavy duty" 8 ¼" rear end. I replaced that with a used 1979 2-door Dodge Diplomat. The Diplomat was one of my favorite cars, and I put over 800,000 km (500,000 miles) on it, delivering pizza and packages. It also had a Super-6, but unfortunately had the weak 7 ¼" rear end that failed around 150,000 miles and I ended up replacing with the 8 ¼" that came out of the Volare wagon. Oddly, it had that small engine but was loaded with just about every available option, including power everything, like the leather seats and windows, and it had cool looking rally wheels, etc. Those slant-6 engines were incredibly reliable and with the timing advanced and recurved, plus an adjustable vacuum advance optimized for timing advanced cruising, a free flowing exhaust and a tight valve lash, those slant-6 cars weren't fast but were peppy enough to make ideal daily drivers (and for pizza delivery). They even got impressive fuel economy for the day (close to 30mpg on the highway).

That thing is sweet wish I could find cars like that up here in Wisconsin

The Slant 6 was one of the best engines ever made. Reliable and durable....I knew a guy with a Dart that put over half a million miles on the original engine and it still ran great. They were practically indestructible.

Looks like it needs a big block and a 4 speed , 15 x 8 steel wheels in the back with the full wheel covers. Sleeper city.

What a great looking rig, nice job on the paint and effects!

Dylan, cool car for your Dad! He will love it! Great job!!!

Beautiful car. I had a 1970 Coronet 440 as a teenager. Sadly it was rear ended and totaled.

Dylan,really enjoy your vids.I am 72 years young and have owned a few of the vehicles you have brought back to life. Would love to see you find a good 65-66 Mustang to get back on the road,had one of these also that was Ford green. My favorite of all time. Also enjoy the helper you brought on,seems like a great young man ! Wish you all good success and continued growth for the future!

The 225 slant 6 is one of greatest engine of all time!!!! I drove to Alaska in a 1969 Plymouth Valiant ,that engine ran like a top and purred like a kitten it started every time, and got fantastic gas mileage.

You should put Pusser For Sherriff on the back glass.

I dig these kinds of videos. Thanks guys great job.

Good Evening Sir , it is nice to see you again today Sunday the 11th at 9:38 pm my time here in AZ 😊 !

Love to own that 70 coronet just the way it is

1970 Dodge Coronet. Awesome. 👍

I have never really been a fan of Dodges although I have to say I have a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan with an 3.8 liter V6 engine out there in the driveway with almost 300,000 miles on it and that old van runs like a top, the only problem I have with it is when I got up this morning my electric wheelchair ramp on it wouldn't come out so my wheelchair accessible well van isn't so accessible right now LOL but that has nothing to do with Dodge it's been a great vehicle, I may come around yet 😎😎

Solid coronet Dylan, runs surprisingly well! I don't think I have ever seen a clutch disc just completely crumble like that and a fuel tank u can remove nearly without removing the straps 😂😂😂😂, man that tank was literally like a sheet of paper!!!! The leaning 6 in a row ready 2 tow's are hard 2 kill!!! Thanks for the entertainment Dylan n Bryer, appreciate u both tremendously!!++🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

That car deserves even more love.

Growing my parents had a 1970 Dodge Coronet, brown with brown vinyl interior. I don't remember if it had carpet or rubber mats. It was a 225ci slant six with a 1 bbl and a automatic trans. They also had a 1964 Dodge Dart, white with a blue vinyl interior and rubber floor mats, under dash dealer installed A/C and it came with no radio but my dad bought a scratched AM radio over the counter and installed it. It had a 170ci slant six with a 1 bbl and a manual choke and a 3 on the tree. Dad customized it with a aftermarket rear window defroster and a hood lock after someone stole the battery once. The Coronet got replaced with a 1979 Dodge Aspen green on green with a 225ci slant six and a progressive 2 bbl with a automatic trans. The Dart got replaced with a 1980 Plymouth Horizon, the early ones had the 1.7L VW engine, not the later 2.2L engine, it had a 2 bbl carb.

Wasn't sure about the police car theme at first, but it turned out looking epic! I kinda want to build one now.

this car reminds me of my childhood, my dad had a 70 coronet, going to school everyday. so awesome!!

Hey Dylan. It’s Randy in Chattanooga. Try filling that tank up with gas. Looks like it might leak a little. LOL!!!

This car screams sleeper with a mopar v8 with a huge cam! Awesome Vid!

hearing that inline 6 man, sounds great, just a bit quiet. if this ends up being made more powerful, I hope it goes well. inline 6s can make power, from the jaguar xk to the nissan rb, they just work, and they sound great when they do it. hope it revs high and sings.

That's a nice Coronet. At 47:50, Briar commented about the cramped area on a 225 slant 6. I had one and I agree that all the necessary items: distributor, plugs, fuer pump are jammed in the wedge side. Hardley any other items on the wide side.

The 70 front end is my favorite

That is a lovely old car, great save, a stereo and some seat covers, you have a superb daily driving classic ❤

That 'gasket' you were messing around with between the carb and manifold is a "phenolic spacer". A high temp resin that was popular with manufacturers in the 1970s. Theory was it would prevent heat soak from the engine/manifold to the carb, stopping vapor lock when running, or fuel boiling out of the carb after parking. Still needs a gasket each side of it.

The old Cornet/Super Bees are my second favorite Dodge car. For me 3.5 Gen Charge SE is my number 1.

that wagon parked beside it would be a cool restoration

Nice video! Sugestion: lots of people like us that love cars like to see, above them working, them clean. So I think it would be great if after it works, you make some kind of detailing on the car, inside and outside, because it's not only nice for the car, but it's relaxing for the viwers. Congrats and thank you for share knowledge!

Very interesting 🧐, I really like the new look 😀. Great 👍 content guys 👏.

Excellent video Dylan :) , Bryer :) working on that 1970's Dodge Cornet basic model 4 door also on carb changes help out , plus fuel tank on floor in trunk I would put temporary some metal bolt in place so won't fall on floor too and when lost Antifreeze thought may have few frost plugs or thermostat leak or some hoses even heater core leaking but was hole water pump show in video! Not first one seen hole happened just corrosion of age does it and glad solve lots problems too! Glad Clutch was easy fix up and plus nothing bad in transmission also major parts needed! Yes be cool take vechiles shows this year and other years too!

That car turning out sweet!

Love the car, just hope you do something with the frame as in rust protection..

Love seeing a 4 door b-body in a sea of two doors. Good looking car.

Another nice car Dylan don't know where you find all these cars but you do well with them

I love the old Marshall County tags. You should add a big ole whip antenna on the trunk lid for the look.

Love ur videos lol. Awesome how u can take a fire trap rust bucket that hasnt been driven in 30 years and with a minimum of money turn it into a cool ride like that. Reminds me of something legendary TN sheriff Buford Pusser might drive (except for the slant six) 🚔😎

You can't kill those slant 6s , if it wasn't for the lack of power dodge wouldn't have built any other

1970 Coronet is one of my favorite cars. Pretty hard to find.

Its so fun to watch you guys work on these cars! That car looks so huge what just a small 6c engine 😅 under the hood

That clutch-disc is bad enough to be worthy of being made into a clock! XD Wow, still got the spring around some drums!

Nice job 👍 20 years ago I did the same on a 64' Impala 4 dr sedan and transform her in a Cali Highway Patrol. Real fun car. Keep up the great content ... really like your channel.

Love the car Brody. I can't believe in all my years of wrenching on cars I still haven't driven a manual column shifted vehicle someday hopefully, but great build guys keep it up

Really cool old car! Can’t wait to see what your plans are with it!

I got a 440 body style in 97, dark green, had the 318, 727(40,000 miles). It had been sitting for years. Couldn't get it over 70mph no matter what. First thing I did was put dual glass packs on it. I swear, it would turn 90mph on 1/4 mile. Would go to 120 like it was nothing. When it got a lot older, I tried to blow the engine up, each day I'd go in a field and do donuts wide open until I couldn't no more, couldn't even seem to put a dent in the 318. Sold it to a family who needed it for $200 in 2001.

I never would have thought to lower that car. Looks sooo much better!

My mom had a 76 Aspen with the same set up, no options but am/fm radio, 3 on the tree slant 6, no power anything. The pinion seal developed a very slow leak, rearend seized in the middle of a 4 lane divided highway across the 2 travel lanes, had to dump the clutch a bunch of times to get it into one lane then got out and flagged cars down, luckily the car was safety orange so at least it was visible, lol. The motor& tranny lived on in a van, traded it for a 1970 plymouth fury deluxe foor door 360 2bbl, that thing was a land barge but it road like a caddilac!! Oh and slant 6 is immortal so why are you surprised it started so easily??

Yes! As soon as I saw it was a 70 coronet 4 door I thought it needed to be an Adam 12 car. But this works too.

Many years ago I had a 1962 Plymouth Savoy with a slant 6. That car was as solid as it could be, it was built like a tank !
