I couldn’t let this 1970 Dodge Dart get crushed - Will it Run?

Old cars are something we are not getting more of so it saddens me to see any go to waste. Scrapping classic cars might get you $150 a ton, but could make lifetime memories for someone instead. I encourage you to not crush any old car before trying to save it, even if that means parts for someone else’s project. Today we will save an old Mopar and try to get it running and driving! We might tear some stuff up in the process…

Why do people always put a price on cars its not about the physical value.The value comes in with smiles you get from people the stories time spent building it with your family which is priceless.

It sucks that it hit your truck but I couldn't help but laugh when you chased after it. I kept watching for you to turn off the left blinker but it never happened. lol. The old car is running once again.

I have rewatched it several times now and it makes me giggle lol. Never will that happen again… well I hope not at least. The blinker was actually the hazards. Figured out how to get it off after I was done filming…

Slant six is by far the most reliable engine ever..My Dad bought an old Volare.Dad drove that thing forever then sold it to a buddy it was a rust bucket but Dad was driving his new car to work and out of no where come the Volare just barreling down the highway passing my Dad my Dad said was so bad that his buddy shoved a rag in the gas tank because he lost the cap( not to safe I know) 😂. Dad said he had to be pushing 90 when he flew by..I always wanted to find another old Volare..Oh and also my cousin had a scamp just like that dart and it got hit by a truck. They told him if he was in a newer car he would've not survived.Neat old car Brother great save. Sweet ride

I fixed up two of these so far, drove them for a year and made money off them. The first was a 1968 Plymouth Valiant with a slant six, the second a 1969 Dart with a 273 V8. The Valiant brought more than the Dart. That car looks like a '70 since it does not have the '71 evaporative control system components. The tank that someone installed is the wrong one, because those ports are for the 1971 4-corner tank vent system which that car doesn't have. It should have a '67-70 tank but that one will work. It was indeed W1 white with a B7 blue interior. Chrysler painted the car one color including the trunk and under the hood, then the "upper door frames" another, contrasting color, then trimmed out the interior to match the upper door frame color. White was the only color that could have any color interior available...blue, green, tan or black. It looks like the original engine since it has spark plug tubes but the carb is a later Holley 1945, which is good. The year code and displacement is stamped into the deck surface of the block facing up, underneath the #1 cylinder. The VIN derivative is under the #6 cylinder facing out. The starter sounds terrible but that's what happens when people go buy a $40 offshore reman. When I rebuild an original Mopar starter they sound like 1970 all over again. I know you are young but resist the urge to abuse it with your foot too much. Good luck.

@@TaylorZ2 The "right person" is going to want lines and brackets for a V8, which are different for a Slant six other than the lines in and out of the condenser. After that, they are not going to spend $1,000 on an original V-2 compressor, because they've been told by the "experts" that the V-2 is a power hog and what they really "want" is a Sanden-type compressor. What the guy does with the car is his business, but I don't want him to think that he's sitting on a gold mine of parts. I know these cars intimately and there's far more on a 4-door that won't bring any money than there is that will. You can't give the glass away because it's 4-door specific. By far the most valuable thing on that car as it sits is that front clip. I wouldn't be surprised if he's already received emails about it.

For all the vehicles you find that don't have keys, invest in a basic set of lockpicks. A gas cap lock like that is probably quicker to pick than to break into. Ignition lock might've been pickable too - I've done it on old Ford ignitions before. There seems to be a recurring theme of you needing an assistant - this getting loose and hitting your truck, you having to lift an ATV into a truck bed on your own, etc...
