JUNKYARD Plymouth Runs and Drives After 10 Years! 

Just for clarification if you have not watched the first video. None of us owns this car. We were given permission by the owner to try and get it running and drive out of where it was sitting. He's a very good friend of mine who was kind enough to let us have access to his lot, and there's a good chance I'll revisit the Satellite in the near future to hopefully put it back on the road. Thanks for watching everyone!

Fun doing this with Dylan, great dude - truly is as nice in person as he appears on camera. 👍

For those of you who care, the reason the p/s turns on it's own is 1 of 2 reasons. A. The valve body on top of the box is gummed up, and a port is blocked, causing the steering gear to turn 1 way or the other. or B. the valve body, which is slotted ever so slightly, is out of adjustment, which is common when getting a remanned box. It's a trial and error effort to get it to stay centered as well as return during a normal turn, on it's own. Loosen the hold down bolts ever so slightly, and move the valve body assembly EVER SO SLIGHTLY, with the frt wheels in the air, until there is no back lash, and you can turn the tires by hand back and forth, full lock to lock, with the engine running. Alot of guys will blame alignment issues for lack of steering return, when in fact, it's the valve body adjustment.

You and your two friends are very smart and good mechanics, which makes this more fun to watch.. Seriously I'm 72, & have been a Chrysler Proving Grounds Engineer in the late 70's and had bought a bunch of odd ball cars..in 67 I bought a 53 Merc 2 Dr. HT, Monteray with a 56 Cad engine with solid lifter cam and a B&M hydro-stick Trans..a Beauty.. bought for $250// sold for $450 (now if in same condition would be worth ? $$. ... 48 4 dr Chev.. stock but put new brakes master cylinder and got the engine restarted after about ten years..* with water/alcohol, injection pump.. windshield wiper canister into the carb.. plus a nice 65 Chevelle 2 dr post w/327 300 horse 4 speed, a 66 Nova SS with a 6 auto from the factory.. nice every day driver.. a few others.. while in HS I rebuilt a 52 Ford Flat head engine and put a 56 Cad engine in a 51 Cad convert for a high school student teacher, with some help from my friends.. Cheers GF

I think I'm in love with that Satellite. It has that perfect ratty hot rod sound to it

This brings me Back to my youth ! Best times ever Hanging out with my buddy’s fixing stuff. So glad That somethings don’t change. Nice to see so much Fun without starring at ur smart phones . Making memories

I'd daily that.

It's an old racecar, it automatically turns left. Sure doesn't belong there!

I cannot believe that car was left in a salvage yard to sit and rot. Unless the frame is completely rotted out underneath it, that car has monetary value someone will buy it. Looks like a fine project for the right person.

You guys should do this more often

That's got to become a badass car again, Mopar or no car

That looks like a good project. I've always loved the 70 gtx/roadrunner/satellite body style.

Dont crush em , Restore them. 😍

Old Mopars never die!

Who just leaves a fkn '70 Satellite in their yard. That's fkn awesome work here. Great job!! Idles well, lights and horn work!? Wtf!? It fkn works!!

Watched the first video and the second. Lots of fun. When I was 15 (66 now) there was a 51 HenryJ that had been sitting for years that someone had abandoned. Couple of friends and I decided to "get er runnin again". 2 big problems. First, the freeze plugs had rotted out of the engine and second... we were all 15 with no money and in the country with no way to get freeze plugs! We sat around for the best part of a week whittling down logs until they were almost the right size, wrapped them with some greasy old shop towels and hammered them into the block. It moistly (pun intended) held water! We then spent the summer doin burnouts (borrowed gas from the lawn mowers) and practicing our power shifts on the country road we lived on. First car I ever drove. Here's a tip... get an old trigger style oil can and use that to squirt gas in the carb to keep em running. I've used that trick many times. And "fix a flat" works well too.

Not even Halloween yet and we already have the dead risin from the grave

That would be a sweet daily driver as is

I love how you all got together for this video and im sure alot of others like it as well. Definitely would like to see more videos like this! Good job!

Just amazing seeing people take the spirit of Roadkill and push it back to where it should be: Awesome RU-vid content from real petrolheads for other petrolheads. Keeping up the good work and greetings from Germany!

Now park it back in the same spot for another 10+ years until this car hoarder dies, the type of guys that would let that car( and too many others) sit and rot away when there is nothing major wrong with it makes me sick..sell it to someone who appreciates it enough to see it on the road.

I despise people who leave cars like this to rust away.

This was awesome I watch all of ya'll everytime a video drops!!

This has got to be one of the coolest ways for three super savvy car guys to exercise their skill set together while having a good time. You guys pranking on each other had me folding in half! Haha!

i'd pay 5k for that car tbh. power drum satellite with an unknown but running engine, no rust, mismatched door, no carpet, etc. I like these eps. Always a fan of bring old iron back to life.

Damn shame that fools will let great cars like this just set and rot away. If you ain't man enough to put these cars on the road at least sell them to someone who will. It is a sin to let something lay in the weeds till it is rusted junk.

Awesome job as always guys! I love all of the videos on all of your channels. Keep 'em coming!

GREAT STUFF THX FOR YOUR EFFORT

Just last summer is saw one of those in a demolition derby and i almost cried.

Cool :-) just love Mopar cars, got one myself.

Dang good job keep em coming and bringing them back to life good job dylan!!

I love the way you 3 work so well together no egos just good friends love all your channels and seeing you together

It's really sad that it's just going to sit there for God knows how long!

What a find!

Just for clarification, I subscribed to all 3 of you guys. Keep these rescue videos coming they are so appreciated by so many people and also these vehicles love you for saving them to.

absolutely love what you guys do! people let these pieces of art sit and rot, just cause they don't want to mess with them anymore.... I LOVE seeing these old cars and trucks driving around.

just bought a 68 firebird for 3300 and im so excited to repair and get this baby on the road. young entrepreneurs are the future of old cars baby

Power steering pump had directional steering fluid in it. It's used for circle track racing.. trust me I'm a expert . I'm not a mechanic but I played like I was when I was a kid.

All of you guys are awesome! Such a great find!

Jesus....what a deal. Old satellite looks/sounds awesome. Especially coming right back up like that with brakes, power steering and such working! Excellent!

Lots of stuff there that needs to be saved.

'Both the '69 and '70 Roadrunners looked awesome.

So cool to get these old beasts running again! Great videos

Breaks my heart seeing classics just sit, might as well give it to someone that will take care and restore em

You find the coolest cars man!

Update on the Satellite. Dylan now has the Satellite. His father bought.

Y’all rock brothers, I just hope it will get on the road again!

These guys are amazing. They make me feel stupid. I literally work on cars all day, yet I’m taken to school every time I watch their videos. You guys are bad ass.

Good call, probably power steering box is jacked. Raising the throttle will of course spin the power steering pump increasing pressure and making power steering box move. Probably a bad seal somewhere.

You did not turn on the radio?!!!!!

Love your videos. Keep em coming.

That car wants to get out of there lol. Seating it’s own tire beads lol. That car belongs back on the road seriously.

That Roadrunner share the same bodystyle with Plymouth Satellite & Gtxx

IS IT FOR SALE ?

Yep definitely need to see this on the road

They're crawling around in weeds 'n' wasps and who knows what, but he gives the dog a blanket to lay on so he's not in the weeds. These are my kinda people! You guys are awesome, keep up the good work all three of you!

What kind of junkyard do you go to where a car can sit un molested for 10 years? At the jy's i go to, any car regardless of model is picked clean after a couple months. At the very least the engine bay & dash world be F'd immediately.

It hurts to watch this and makes me happy at the same yime. I was raised in my dads 70 satellite w/383. It meany so much too him he wony even speak with me about that car.

Wow! That's such a cool shade of blue!

Enjoyed it very much, Dylan! : )

Starting fluid and a lighter in the tire will pop the tire onto the bead.

Him and my daddy tore that engine down I still remember that rumbling sound

Awesome car and nice work guys! I love the 70 model, I was looking for a 70 like this when I got the 68.

Kudos to the owner for never having sent it to the crusher, and for letting you three revive it! And kudos to you three for getting it running!

Thermalquad!!!!! No? Damn... dulcich would have...

11:31 president confirmed.

Well done fellas that is incredible

Well, another classic is back to running an driving great work.

Yet again.. another 318 LA never dies👌🏻👌🏻

Your intro is really long but really cool

I see lots of styling cues from that in my daily driver: 1972 Hillman Avenger (Plymouth Cricket). But the Avenger does have front disk brakes.

The Rust Avengers strike again ! Great name guys ! Great work, and cheers from Australia :)

Buy it its awesome!

Joe Dirt. Lol

I freaking love theses videos

I watched the dodge step side video last night, I have a 73 Plymouth duster that I finished restoring 3 years ago, every nut and bolt, awesome videos, I subscribed!

Sounds like it has glass packs.

that 57-60 ford big window stepside is getting kinda rare someone should rescue that

exhaust sound is just class, music for the ears.

Yaa! Awesome! Thnx for this kick ass video! We've started a few Mopars that sat a long time..most recent was plopping a '77 New Yorker 440 donor car engine into a '70 Fury Gran Coupe..the mill sat 20 yrs and just needed (besides mouse eaten plug wires, lol) a 1 day soak of diesel fuel in the cylinders to get her t turn over..plug wires on and she ran..almost all electricals in the New Yorker worked, inc pwr windows, stereo, lights etc :D Was out in the weather in Wisc the whole 20 yrs.. Fury was under a lean to. Btw, 440 has 150k on it and 150pi cyl pressure :D We dropped in a few things..new dbl timing chain/gear set, a '74 Pre lean burn TQ, Mopar Perf dist/ecu. Bosch Platinums, bc why not..wider heat range, better driveability. We had a pair of '69 Magnum ex. manis..they're worth a grand a pair..they're on the Fury now, lol. Runs fabulous, just needs a new accelerator pump in the TQ. And a pwr brake booster. and..an exaust system lol. #furyvanwinkle on Insta is a bit about the Fury. It's on the back burner rn, bc winter & we're poor :p Salty roads are a big no no, obv.

Fuckin Miiiiiiiint @ziptiesnbiasplies

Is that a SUPRRRAAA

I absolutely LOVE watching you young guys playing with OLD CARS !!!! My Son is exactly like you guys and that is COOL !!!!

Love it!! Great job!!!

I call bullshit no way that car was junked in 2008 and running

Finally bro! Congratulation on 100k subs,keep it up

There's something just...mesmerizing...about these old cars sitting for years/decades...and still kicking ass after so long

Junkyard digs brought me here, good content here. Glad to watch you guys give fuel to a motor.

Old school using a vacuum gauge to set the idle mixture. Needle is rock steady which means that the valves are good.

great vids bro keep up good work

pretty cool project right there

18:07, that Plymouth Satellite sounds angry. 😍

I find videos like this more soothing than even if my mother was singing lullabies to me.

That sounds beautiful.

Great series of videos you guys have posted, keep up the great work.P.S. man where do you find all these great old rides ?

This is like Roadkill but strictly MOPARs! Love it!

❤️these old Plymouth & Dodge’s! ❤️ Wow! 😮 does that run smoooooth!👍

Sounds absolutely magnificent

That's a damn good project, right there!

Three of my favorite car RU-vidrs.
