One of the best mechanics on RU-vid, I’ve been working on cars since childhood and just have to say nice work.

I really like how you fix the old parts instead of just buying aftermarket. Anything that's broke, take apart,repair. love it.

This man is one of the hardest working mechanics I see on RU-vid! Most of the other guy are so lazy about it not only does Chris work hard he also goes on adventures while doing it. And gets enough content to put it all together in one video! I'm so impressed with this guy now I think I know what to do if I get some money.. that's another story though.

Leo reminds me of a young gray squirrel that I rescued from a chimney it had fallen down all 3 stories of the house and there was noI way he could have gotten himself out. He has inhaled and swallowed a lot of soot and was in bad shape for a few days but my ex wife and I nursed him back to health. Then it was hard to get him to go back to the life he had before. He kept coming back to her window and waiting to be let in and if we were outside he would come up to us and climb up to sit on our shoulders. He was around all summer and didn’t see much of him over the winter but the next spring he brought his new wife and kids to meet us.

I'm not a mechanic. I work with wood. I love everything wood. Nonetheless, I appreciate someone's craft just the same. This is some good stuff.

As a young man, it makes me happy that people restore old vehicles. It's like keeping history alive.

I've been a fan of you, Jen & Gus since i first discovered you a few months back. but having been a squirrel dad myself, and seeing you two with leo really melts my heart. 🥰

😂😂🤣🤣 That pet squirrel needing a bottle was the funniest!

Thank you and your wife for the kindness you show to Leo. I try to help our squirrels by putting out unsalted peanuts in the colder nuts. They stand up and look in our windows if the nuts aren't out there when they show up. They learn fast.

That wagon is slick! Shes deserves all the love it needs. I didn't know about the freeze plug installer tools until now. Lol 🤦‍♂️

Got my drivers license when I turned 16 in 1972. My first car was a ‘65 Sport Fury. My mom and dad bought it new and I bought it from them. Had it for two years and got a ‘70 Roadrunner. My sister got the Fury and in a year it was gone. Fast forward to last year. I was going through my dads work bench. He passed 12 years ago and this was the first time I’d looked through his bench and tool box. I was feeling around at a shelf that was over my head. I found the keys to the Fury. He placed them there for me to find. They’re on my key ring today. Thanks, dad!!

That pet squirrel is funny 😄 I think you found a beautiful car…I’m in “awe” seeing how you go step by step, fixing al sort of things and bringing life back to an old dirty piece of metal….Great project. I would not even know where to start.

I cannot say this strongly enough, THANK YOU!!! I just acquired two 1966 fury wagons. One to fix n drive and the other for parts. Your video on this wagon is beyond priceless. I am watching this over and over!!!! You are such a phenomenal resource!

I am so happy when i see old cars run and will have a new life in the future!

Although I am not a car guy at all I enjoy watching this! I like to watch someone who knows what he‘s doing. I like how it is filmed and the tempo of the editing, quickly skipping the boring stuff, and I like to get some insights in your everyday-life! Keep it up! Ooh, I almost forgot: the million neatly labeled drawers 🤣👍!

My Dad had a Sport Fury years before I was born. I've always wanted one. This being a station wagon with a center console makes it so cool!!!! I want to find a Fury like this so bad!!!!!!! I love this car!

Just nice to watch someone fix things instead of just replacing.Thanks

you deserve an oscar for camera work,.......great shots that had to be difficult...you are one hell of a mechanic,.wish you had a shop near me !!!

You're an exceptional mechanic. I doubt there's anything you couldn't fix.

Hell yes ! I love the old Fury ! Thumbs up man !

It's doing my heart good to see you bring this old '65 back. My aunt had a wagon of about this vintage. I remember one year all my family went to the lake with her family in it. Four adults, six kids, no problem! I wanted to get my thoughts and memories to you, thanks!

That car is amazing. My first car was a station wagon and been in love with them ever since. I’d love to see that beast fully restored ❤️

The hotel pan makes the best catch pan.

Im just 3 min into this and Im loving this wagon, center console, generally whole old school runner full of youre buddies and girlfriends. . Someone has real good memories in this wagon

Close to the beginning of this video [2:07], I spotted a rare 1962 Falcon Ranchero woody in the same salvage yard as the Fury. Although a small number of Rancheros were sold, very few had the wood grain. In fact Ford was the only auto maker offering woody wagons in the late 50s and early 60. By the late 60s other manufacturers brought back the woody wagon, and they became popular for a number of years.

Brings back memories, I had a 65 fury wagon with a 383HP engine with dual exhaust. 4 speed with a Hurst shifter and a 8 3/4 diff, limited slip 3.23 gears. All that was stock from Plymouth. At first I had a hard time believing it was stock but then found the Service manual and it showed it all including the Hurst shifter. Could do really long hole shots. Strong heavy car.

I love that you made friends with a squirrel. Also, mopars rule! Nice score.

Brings back fond memories, I had a 67 Ford Country Sedan and 71 Kingswood back in the day. They were very "convenient" at times if you know what I mean...

Funny that these mid 60’s (basically) family cars generate just amazing “view” numbers. I see it time and time again on other youtuber’s channels. They do a lot of very cool, informative, creative, instructive content and then one day in passing they post a video about 55 year old Impala/Fury/Catalina/Bel Air/Polara/LTD/etc and the view count for that video just explodes. I guess the people that were little kids back in those days are just connecting very strongly with these vehicles. They’d be a ~60 year old demographic now and are no doubt prone to getting emotional when seeing these vehicles. Noth’n wrong with that! Tks for posting the Fury!

Some epic shots , love the neighbourhood! Long? Rambling? Give us more i say!!!!! Ill never tire of your work , the little deviations and VLOG as you put it stuffs , the animals , the J.Sugint , music and singing, real time TV can never be this good and we dont want anyone to know so they dont steal you!

Yeah I could drink beers with this guy

Great video! I absolutely love the wagons. Might have to pick one up soon… I recently bought a 1973 Plymouth Fury, 400 - 4bbl from the Mopar Hoard Auction in Texas. There’s a revival series on my channel if anyone is curious. Hope to see more of this car!

Watched this entire video took a couple days though. You are the guy I wish I could be. My knowledge level of cars is not up to yours but my love for these old cars is the same. In a perfect world, I would do one project car after another just like you. The fact you have a beautiful woman and a cute squirrel as a pet are the icing on the cake. Keep up the good work you now have a new subscriber!

Id trust this guy with my kids! If u treat a squirrel like that you have a lot of love to go around.

That wagon is sick, keep it just the look it has. Man that is a cruising machine.

I live across the Betsy Ross in NJ and I surprisingly remember seeing this car at Jack Frost mountain in the winter about 2o some years ago. Very unique vehicle! Good luck!

I have been a mechanic almost all my life and I am 64. You are one talented man. Great job on the radiator work.

I love that you are saving and resurrecting this Fury. What a beautiful car. I’m looking forward to more videos of your restoring of this beauty. Keep up the great work. You are really talented.

I remember seeing this car around in the late 80's when I was in high school. This car came from california (Quartz Hill) It was around alot in 1989. I'm glad to still see it around.

Congrats on passing 100,000 subs , soon you will be 500,000 and then 1 million and counting. The car is worth what somebody is willing to pay , start high and be open to reasonable offers. ;-) . I hope that you continue to make videos just the way that you do now , I will be here to watch all of them and it is always awesome to see Jen and Leon make an appearance. Thank you !

After watching this video, your collection of tools and parts was MORE impressive than your repairs! Well done on both fronts in either case.

In Canada, a Dodge was a rebadged Plymouth, on a Plymouth body with a Plymouth interior.

You are bringing back my childhood memories with the Plymouth Fury station wagon ….. learned to drive and took my driver’s test in my Dad’s ‘67 Plymouth Fury 3 Station Wagon!!!

Congrats on the resurrection of the '65 Plymouth Fury! Definitely worth watching the entire video!

Well done! It is great to see a revival of the "normal" repairs and oddball tools (ie. the gas tank pump) which was so common "back in the day. The builder/owner seems to have put a lot of care/love into her. Great show!

Maaaaaan you have a great show. I'm not sure if I've seen you b4,but I caught the chevelle today and I couldn't stop watching it. I did the same thing ,with a 1981 F100 6 ,with a transplanted 75 390,I was in a hurry to drive it n my radiator fell on the fan. I was AZ lucky, I blew the head gaskets,I wasn't anywhere close to home

What a trip... who needs TV with this quality of entertainment ?

41:08 "The only part" = Hence why newer cars are redesigned to be parts dependent. Redesigned to be non serviceable, plastic parts to break by time (not use), sealed parts (to prevent repairs) etc. These things can literally keep running with little to no parts over an indefinite number of years and little to no reliance on manufacturers due to little to no planned/engineered obsolescence, little to no legal blocking for 3rd party manufacturers to make replacement parts etc.

This is a cool car! Forgot just how good these cars look. Good motor, transmission works, good room, I like the bucket seat interior modification. Looks like almost all trim is still there. And the exhaust sounds great without being loud. Good score.

I'm 72 y/o and I drove a 64 Plymouth Fury 2 with a 361 c/i engine in 1967. I don't remember seeing any 65 station wagons, back in the day. I'm not saying they were rare, but certainly not common. Everyone wanted a 383 or Hemi, though. The six cylinders and 318 were common. Great video.

When this car was made the main motor company in the U.K. was Leyland Motors. One of their cars would have been much easier to get home, you wouldn’t have needed a trailer. All you’d have to do is brush up all the piles of rust, bag it, stick it in your boot (trunk) and Bob's your uncle. It might be a bit more difficult to put back together again but you can’t have everything. A fantastic video, thank you.

Hi, first time I've watched your RU-vid tutorial on vehicles. I'm approaching 70 years old and I am an English gentleman living in France. I've just watched the entire program very very interesting it brought back so many memories of when I was in my teens early 20s myself and two other friends of mine we all had American cars back in the UK back in the late 60s early 70s one of my friends had a I think it's called a rambler estate I can't member who is actually made by, another friend had a Ford Mustang, I myself had a Pontiac Parisian not quite sure if I spelt it right the headlights were very similar to the front of your car stacked I think they were called it had a 283 Chevy engine in it and it was right hand drive, I spent probably around five months on it stripping it and rebuilding and painting it I'm sad to say that I sprayed it something like Starski and hutch if you remember these guys I believe they had a grand Torino. Mine was metal flake red with a metal flake silver stripe going down the side and like yours had a big four barrel Holly on the top lot stuck out through the bonnet with a big bug scoop sticking out of it and it had side flush header mufflers on it, so you can probably imagine that you could hear it from a few miles away. It was great to see your wife or your partner involved in helping you a lady who was helping me at the time called Maggie she was a darling in a lot of ways. Keep up the great work it's great if you both can get involved in restoring something. And I've had three Harley Davisons as well my last one was a soft towel deuce. 1550cc . Big bore kit up rated cams and upgraded fuel pump two into one exhaust system which I got from the states it was called a boom Ken and it did I was the only person in Europe that I've got one as they were a special limited edition. Stay safe keep up the great work Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you. Phil from the Moulin in France

Love the sound of the starter when a Mopar is starting!

Fantastic mechanic !! So fast snd confident and "Know How" in these old motors.

Man, the 80's was a peculiar time for the hot rod hobby. Pastel Easter egg paint everywhere. All the trim and bumpers got it too.😅

MCC's Dennis Gage always said to honor the timeless classics. Watching you get a '65 Fury wagon back running is so amazing. Love this kinda stuff.

I don't know if anyone ever told you, but those fuel filters that spin are NO GOOD! They loosen and cause fires. You're better using one of those plastic in-line filters.

Always good to see old cars be brought back to life. Skills! Mad respect! :)

The mopar 383 is a nice engine. It's not lacking in power even though many consider it to be the 440's little brother.....😎

This video took me way back to the days when I first learned how to work on vehicles with my dad. I remember doing every one of the processes and the "tricks" you performed. It's good to see that kind of savvy knowledge still exists. Great video and very cool car.

Those were the days, a full size wagon with buckets and a center console shifter!

Beautiful job, so many components, so much knowledge to do each one. Love your squirrel biddy. And it’s wonderful to see someone soldering the right way. Melting the solder with the heat of the work, rather than melting the solder with the torch. Bravo‼️

Uncle Tonys garage would like this one

Damn, man! That was some great work, and an awesome watch! I see these guys getting stuff running again, and that's it. Anyone can do that. Well, almost anyone. LOL. You? You go the extra mile. Radiator work, ignition lock cylinder, freeze plugs, GOOD carb rebuild with actual info and tips.....on and on! I am a mechanic for a living, been swingin wrenches for almost 40 years. I love rescuing old "junk", currently working on resurrecting a 74 Jeep J20 4x4 that sat for 34 years. Oh, and there is the fact that you're in PA, I was born in eastern PA (Allentown) and raised in western PA, outside of Pittsburgh. And your name is Chris? Come on, man! Mine too! Keep up the great work, Brother, you are inspiring me all the way in Southern Cali! And at 53, I need all the inspiration I can get! LOL!!!

As an owner of an old Mopar wagon, sell it before anything rear of the driver's seat fails. Parts for the back half are unobtanium. Great content, though, and glad to see a "will it run" where someone does everything the right way!

My first car was a 1966 Plymouth Sport fury. I really dig this car and I am a new subscriber....cuz this is killer content!

It’s amazing to hear everything working so well in an old car that has sat for so long. The starter sounds almost NEW. Given how long it’s been sitting there rusting, everything should be in FAR worse shape. They sure as hell don’t make cars that good TODAY!!!

My mom has a couple of these cars. This brings back memories. I would own that car in a heart beat

Memories, exact wagon as this and a '65 Fury 2 door hardtop-both black with the 383 auto. Also had a '64 Barracuda at the same time so the Furys didn't get much use. The amount of crud in the coolant system was astonishing, never seen it that bad on anything I'd opened up.

I can watch this all day

1965 - I'd be 17 and just learning to drive!

Loved the video. Brings back memories. I got my license in 1968 and learned to drive on a '66 Plymouth Sport Fury. I've always been a Mopar fan and love the old ones.

Very nice Plymouth! I really love station wagons, a big hug from Brasil.

Definitely a cool wagon! First time I've seen gm buckets in a mopar. Look like the seats from my dad's 67 lemans. Those glass fuel filters are huge fire hazards as well. The fuel pump should be mounted back by the fuel tank as well. Definitely a cool ol rig for sure!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Nice to see someone actually using a line wrench on a actual line.

I would love to restore this baby. I had a two door 65. Dang good car, had a 318. I love this car, the early SUV!

Man, I love this car. I can't wait to see more on it; I'd love to own her, but I want to build a shop more. You always have great content. congratulations. on 100k man; you deserve way more. Then that!!! Also love seeing a mechanic do things vs the other channels that skip the steps that really are necessary!!

I, love old mopar's! & This 1965 Fury Wagon is a great start of a lot of good!☝️😉🧐😁☝️

You hit the main Goal :) Your Videos are just awesome😁

amazing, to see, some old schools, being brought back, to life, you're a great savor, keep grinding, picasso d.

I think it's great how you take care of the old oil, keep it up, thumbs up.

Love that front license plate had many of them back when gas was 99 cent a gallon . You didn't need a reason to drive around you just drove with no destination. The hooptie shagging wagon love it

I remember these. Gas was 24¢ per Gallon, seat Belts were Optional, the Future was Bright. Resurected many of these types in thr 1990s.

I was sure would be a 318 Poly. Great score! Most wagons ended up in derbys or as West Coast surf-mobiles. Interesting ride fer sure.

I love the look of your wagon. These cars are automotive history.

So, I am 2 years too late, but I just decided to add these comments anyway. My first car was a '66 Fury III wagon with a 318. That color changed slightly in '66 and was a slightly smoky blue. Looked exactly the same unless you had them side-by-side. The Fury III had dual brake lights with a backup in between on each side. The rear window was electric. On yours, the front seats and console probably came out of a 2 door Sport Fury. The wagons were all bench seats. You probably figured this out already, but the tail gate will not open with the window up. Very cool to see this car on the road.

Man you’re straight to business . Perfect name for yourself.

This was my first video I viewed by you. Wow, the macgyver of mechanics.....even more impressive is how you stayed with the project to get it running again, and how other people committed how little rust it has. It brought back memories of 20 years ago when I'd drag cars like that home and my neighbors would come over, drink beer and help me get them running. They have all past away

I am impressed by the level of detail you showed in your video. Very entertaining and informative.

HI CHIS AND JEN,, I AM REVISITING THE PLYMOUTH ,, ITS GREATTT... I GUESS LEO LEFT AT ONE TIME I THINK SAD.. PEACE..

I had a 1970 SS Chevelle 396, accel super coil and a Edelbrock performer intake topped with a Holly 850 double pumper. I had the same set up in the 1969 SS El Camino. Those were the days when cars were fun to work on. The 396, with headers and a radical cam was one beautiful sound.

Really enjoyed the video. Just a tip with the ignition key. As long as a key will fit the barrel you can just push and pull on the key very quickly so the wards dont have time to fall back down while turning it then it will at some point turn.

Very Cool Old School Ride, and it's always awesome to see them put back on the road where they belong:)

Omg i recognized philly from anywhere man we moved when I was in 4 grade and now I'm in 11th grade in dunkirk ny.when we go visit like 4 times a year we always say hi to people we know because they are still there.then we go to NJ where more family is and stay for a week.the last time we whent there was a shootout right in front of us but we still go visit.

WOW ! Nifty nice wagon, I like it a lot. All that great space, mountain bike, sleep in the back ... too cool.

Remind me of myself back in the day. Would love to get my hands on one that didn't require a whole lot to get it going. Awesome car! So glad to see somebody in the younger generation out to preserve part of our American history. Great job! Keep up the great work and I'll keep on watching! 👍

My dad had a 65 Dodge wagon. He was minimal maintenance guy so the front end really became dangerous. It was a 318 cu.in. with standard shift on the column. He hauled a family of 8 in it for years.

The most amazing part of the video is Leo the squirrel.

That was great! I'm 87 yes and I remember all those old cars.
