FIRST DRIVE SINCE 1976 - Test Driving My 1968 Plymouth Satellite
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- The day is finally here! Time to take my ratty 1968 Plymouth Satellite for a ride around the block. This day has been in works since last summer! Over the last 8 months I have been picking away at getting the car put back together for daily service. It's all together and we go for a quick "ride around the block" before going in for a safety inspection. A safety inspection is needed in Manitoba before any car can be plated and allowed on the roads.
The background on this car: The original owner blew up the trans in 1976 with 89 000 original miles on the clock. Now at the time this was just a base model satellite with a 318/automatic so it got pushed off to the side. As time went on the car slowly deteriorated until the summer of 2020.
Wish me luck that all goes smooth and we can go for a proper drive in this old hotrod.
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to click the bell.

The Plymouth turned out great. Great job on bringing one back from the dead
We appreciate you for putting the old girl back on the road to enjoy these cars.
Hell yes, nice to see it on the road!!!
Sigh of relief
Happy to see her alive and made new again. Thank you for bringing her back to life again.
I love Mopar`s too, she is a sweet ride Dan, great job getting her back on the road. Thanks to all who donated parts, complete engine & Trans, anything and everything to help save this car from the scraper.
Gotta say, she really came out great. Who doesn’t love a classy Plymouth Satellite?
Good too see the old girl back on the road again
She's a fine looking automobile. Well done. Time to enjoy the summer
Nice teaching tip with the light for those not in the know.
Very cool!!!
She's running good 👍👍🇨🇱
I am liking it .
Hey you two, great job on the Mopar. Looks cool, runs nice and I really want to thank you for taking me along for a ride in it, especially on the maiden cruise. Very cool. Great job on an awesome car. 👌😀✌
Great Job ! 👍 🙏
Good to see the ol girl back on the road again.
Yeah its wicked!
Them older big cars like that feels like your floating when you drive them.
Love that car, Looks great 😃✌🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦
The old Plymouth is righteous now thanks to you both.
Dan. Great to see that satellite driving again. Enjoy
I’m a Chevy guy too , but that’s a cool car ! Always loved the GTX of that vintage ! What you have is very close !
Just a grill and some emblems away from being a GTX clone.
I second that emotion, GTX clone! Get er done Dan! 😎 oh and a suicide knob too. 🤓
she s fine just like she is, great job
well congrats...i could feel all the smiling all the way through the internets. great for you to have it work and enjoy the result of all the labor. it really is a cool looking car...luuv the green and the wicked black rims. and u are so right...you do not see anyone out just enjoying their Satellite, or anything, and letting it be just a car. good 1st run!
Car looks great 👍 enjoy it. The two of you are great together and I love your content.
you did a great job rescuing her Dan look forward to the next one
I've dug just about everything you've had on your channel, I've even realized how sweet tri 5s are after not really feelin' 'em forever, but this is by far the best, it's one of my favorite cars on any shows, right up there with General Mayhem before they molested it with the Hellcat, or Floyds 68 Dodge Sweptline, or Disgustang. I wish I could by it
Couldn't help but notice, you did a hell of a lot of work just to get your turn signals working. Then I watched you tooling around town making turns and not using them. Just saying. (Retired Police Officer) In any event Dan you can be proud of all the time and work you put into this car. A job well done and you didn't let it beat you. That is something I have always lived with when working on my cars." I'm not going to let this thing beat me" Well done Dan, Well done.
Is it necessary to signal when nobody is there to see it ?
The law as stated says A turn signal must be activated when intending to turn right or left and when entering a traffic pattern from a parking area. Whether or not you choose to use the signals is up to you.@@kellismith4329
Love this car. Thank you for the work you and Dani put into your channels. You are the best.
I like how the compressor turns on with the fan switch. Lol
Thanks for what you do. Keeps me motivated to work on my junk.
Great to see the green beast roaring again! I'm sure it's feels great to take it on it first cruise in years! Great job, your one hard workin dude, mucho respect!!!
Thanks buddy I like to stay busy haha
my first car was a '68 road runner and this brings back lots of memories. loved that car.
Great channel your doing a great job always enjoy your channel thank you
As always Dan you do one hell of a job bringing stuff back to life....oh and I would have put the chevy air cleaner on just to piss off the haters!!!!
Haha it might have to go on
Good to see the old girl back on the road. Any uneventful maiden voyage is a good one. Waiting to see her finished with working fan and instrumentation. Another job well done Dan.
It's been a long road to the first test drive! Congratulations!
keep the great work man
Dan, you definitely did a lot of work on this Mopar! I think it’s your best or most complete build yet and I’m really a Chevy man when it comes to hot rods. Have you thought about converting the rearend to positive traction? That way you could burn both rear tires up. lol
Yeah I still wanna do a little more to the car as time goes on
I love it I hope you keep it
Another drives again. Thanks for taking us along. 🙏😁👍
Hi Dan so happy for you to see you out on the road in a mopar goo
Looks like you got another winner there dan nice ride along
Loohs like you fell in Love with that Satellite. Not a bad car to have for a Daily. Sell something else and Keep It Dan..This is the one you will regret loosing..
A few rattles and squeaks I love it when vintage cars speak to you while driving! Nice save on this one!
I enjoyed your trip around the block. Well done, DD Speed Shop!! Very, very nice car!! Cheers!!
Very Cool !
Keep up the great work and videos...
Love the show
I think I almost have more respect for you than a lot of the big builders, simply because anybody can sync a boatload of money into a car and then keep it garaged and rub it with a diaper, but how many people are just trying to put these old rigs back on the road as dailies and hot rods that are actually going to get used. Respect.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Doing the best I can with whats all available
Awesome job Dan. Killer B body
Thank you for sharing your journey !! Great stuff !!! Stay safe and God bless you all !!!!! Eddy
Nice! it seems to run pretty nice those are awesome cars to cruise in they ride nice and are pretty reliable.
"Everything worked, which is so rare in my life" Well deserved Man!

Nicely done...turned back the clock by about 40 years...
Glad you saved it. Came out great
Must feel pretty good getting it back on the road again. Job well done. Stay safe and stay well.

Absolutely agree. Cars need to be driven. I love seeing on the road. Not too many around here.
It’s like you never wash your cars. Had to buy New bucket & sponge. Lol. Great job, definitely a cruiser👍
Just a great car,,,, please continue,,,, thanks
Great Job, must have been a Good Vibe taking it out for first time in Years 👍
Thanks for bringing that mopar back to life

Sportin wood in ILLINOIS . Love that car !!!!
Nothin like that old car smell. Ah the memories 👍
That is a great looking car - way to go guys! Sounds mean, too!
dang i love me a mopar
Great job guys! I totally get how upset a guy can get working on a fighting beast. And I also get how quickly a guy gets over it when yo get a few wins and a good car out of the fight. They fight you like an angry step child but later the love is worth it lol
That's a pretty nice looking Chrysler! Ohh wait! My bad... is it a Ford Fairlane? 😉😘🤪👍😊
legal,cool,enjoy..........well done.
Yup...Definitely LOVE that car! You should be happy and proud. You've done and AWESOME job, Brother! Keep up the GREAT work and putting out great content.
We're lovin' the channel and the projects!
The positive's have certainly out weighted the negative's on this build. It was good to see so many come to the forefront to help out. I totally enjoy watching you two bring back these cars for you or someone else to drive and enjoy for years to come.......A huge thumbs up!!!!!
Sweet machine very talented Dan excellent job
Great comment.
"When was the last time you saw 68 b body dodge cruisin on the road just being used and enjoyed"
Keep it and enjoy it, they're awesome looking cars. Don't let this one sit in someone's garage.
Rockin vids and channel man. Keep on keepin on.

Yep..all that hard work paid off n then some..thanks for saving her..think she'll give ya lots of good miles n fun..thanks for sharing..know I'm happy with that
I can see how proud you are in this car and you should be! Job well done Dan!!!!
Yeah it was a hard road!
Good job Dan .
Thanks buddy!
Really enjoyed the series... you should be proud of all your efforts !!
The young ones look at this car stock and say it's not a hot rod, but us old ones gander at that picture and say daaaaam! She's wicked dope!
Yeah. Its git a cool look fer sure
That old Ply looking and running fine!! My old ‘65 Olds 442 used to smoke those SS396 Chevelles but the 440 hemis ran closer
It really looks great . What a fantastic daily driver ! Need a Beep Beep horn .
Love it! How about adding a real Road Runner beep-beep horn?!
It's a nice car Dan! Sounds good too. You should be proud.
I Looooooove it....... Cool ride!
Dan so awesome to see you hit the road with your great build. Looking and sounding pretty good my man
76th like on 1976 Mopar test drive... as i patiently wait for DMV to process my title transfer so I can put plates on my 79 bronco, 60/90 days wait.. ohh the pain..
That first trouble free drive IS like magic melts away all the angst over struggling and stuff Glad to see it!
Big win!!
Nice work bringing that green machine back from a 45 year sleep.
Great job bring that car back to life and on the road! 👍
Great video.
Awesome bro!!! My 67 Caddy has those turn signals too on top of the fenders.
They r cool.
