- Hi! Its cold and there's a lot of snow on the ol' 72 Fury. Lets see if it will go. I bought this car about 5 years ago, and I've been using it as a daily driver since then. It shows about 75000 miles, so it should last me a while yet. I like these fuselage models, especially the 72 Fury. Its a mean looking old thing! I actually hit a moose with this car last week, and it didn't leave a mark on the car! No wonder the cops liked these things, they're incredibly tough, even if they are a bit hard to look at. Thanks for checking it out!
Two things I love: The squeaky sound of boots walking through REALLY cold snow, and the whine of an old Mopar starter.
Nothing like that Mopar whine!
It's like music to my ears! That whiney Mopar starter and loud exhaust. Beautiful, just beautiful!
Ah my old Fury! I still like to watch this again as I used to start it on the coldest days when it had sat at out for weeks. Cold War chap bought it from me and painted it blue, it was red. It was my mothers car and I was there when she bought it new at Turnbull Motors in 1973 in Edmonton Alberta. I took my high school prom date out in it. Lots of history. The old 318 still chugs along. It had under 60,000 miles on it when I sold it and likely not a lot more now. Thanks for fixing it up a bit and keeping her alive so long and sharing her with fans of old Mopars.
This is literally your car?
yeah you can tell it was red from when the door was open it still has the red on the end of the doors that's cool it was your mothers car and the car you took your date to the prom in
Too bad the color was changed, red is rare on those.
i know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my login password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Heath Remington instablaster ;)
God Bless Chrysler, and America... That old beast still fired up in the middle of winter, 26 below... MOPAR!
HELL YEAH MOPAR NEVER DIES. Awesome Plymouth Fury.... I had 72 Ply Fury Station Wagon w/360ci.
SWEET!
You can't kill that big old boat!!!;-)
I simply love that Fuselage Bodies. I have my 1975 Royal Monaco and still running very well. Here in Mexico City nobody want aa great Mopar like that because the expensive gas. So, they don t know about Real Cars. I will keep my Monaco forever! Mopar or No Car XD
The fuel ⛽ is just struggling now that's what you call a cold start love it 😀 👍🏻 🙌 👌 mint Scott 😀
Hey, glad you liked it. Of course I am also a big fan of the styling; I have several fuselage cars. Pretty fun using one of these as a daily driver in the winter, when everyone else is driving sad little safety blobs.
that rumble its so nice to hear that.
And it's so rare anymore.
Boy that brings back memories! I remember buying one sitting in a pasture in Wyoming near Christmas 1988. It was sitting in dry rotted flat tires. I went out with the owner and we primed the carb and got it running. He put a mix of mud and snow truck tires on the back and some near bald radials on the front and I drove it home at the wopping price of $200 dollars. It had about 6 inches play in the steering and you had to pump the brakes several times before it would think to slow you to a stop, but it was mine and it was freedom.
Reminds me of my first car when I was 14. The guy told me I could have it if I took it away. Me and my younger brother pushed it home over gravel about 1/2 mile.
On of the best 'Canadian Moment' Winter start-ups on the entire Internet, thank you Cold Motors, especially fun in almost period correct pixel grade, really brings the whole immersive experience together. An awesome Fury sound, sure do love it 👍
Nov. 23, 2019: Running through the vast catalog and picking off the episodes I never marked with the thumbs up. As much as CWM on YT has been fun for Scott, those of us who have been along for the ride for the long haul have been treated to some great stuff, too.
It's gotten me through some serious crap in life over the years and there's not another channel out there like it. Good (frozen) people, great old cars and a camaraderie missing in a lot of folks' lives.
Here's to another decade!

Love the sound the old Mopar reduction gear starter made. Back in the day us car guys could stand in a parking lot and tell every time a Mopar started!!!!
Yep,that's the way to tell a Mopar. That awesome starter,thanks for sharing.
Love that RUclips suggested this. Your style of filming has remained constant, even if the equipment has improved 😁
Your footsteps in the snow squeaking like that-cold enough to freeze the nuts off a bridge. Man I hate winter.
1972 Plymouth Fury sounds awesome running THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
Love the sound of the Mopar reduction gear starters! I had a 1971 Dodge Polara that'd start as low as - 30 degrees F. That car is the one that sold me on Mopars!!!!
I had a '73 Fury III with a 400 engine in it. Surprisingly,. it got 20 MPG on the highway. My Dad's 318 only got 18!! That ole Fury III would really run...but at least once a week you'd have to blow all the soot out...otherwise it'd spit and sput when you tired to put your foot in the carburetor!!
love the sound of a mopar starter
back when I worked for Chrysler, some cars had ignition points, and then other cars had an optional electronic ignition which didn't work well the first year, because the starter turned the engine over too slow for the inductor or whatever it was called to pick up the signal.
we had two tractor-trailers full of these great big Chrysler's being dropped off that wouldn't start, and had to be pushed into the dealership
Hey, great story! Love hearing about that kind of thing... Cheers!
This was the very first CWM video i ever watched, 9 years ago already!
nice fuselage body in petty blue. love the sound of the mopar starter
reminds me of my dad's valiant. also 318 built to run forever
Mine was green. I love those things. They got excellent gas mileage too. Mine pulled off 22 mpgs every time. Had a 360 cu in engine. It was a 2 door also. Love to have another one but very hard to find if not impossible. I hope he restores this. It's worth the effort and expense.
America made great muscle cars with great engines. No doubts.
The Fury is nice. Nice engine, nice colour. The crunchy snow is pretty nice too.... you only hear that brand of crunch when it dips down past -20*C.
I had one of these, same color! with 360. the grand model, hidden headlights, bucket seats and auto on the floor with console. AND fender skirts! one of the best cars I ever had.
My dad had a 72 Dodge Polara 2 door 318cid in the mid seventies. It always started good in Saskatchewan winters. They were good cars kind of wished. I had it today. Cheers
These cold start videos remind of the old Die Hard commercials. As cold as it may get here, I am happy I don't have to get out in that. Cheers!!
Ahhh, the muffled, throaty rumble at idle brings back sweet memories! Back in `78, I inherited Dad`s `73 Fury III Police Interceptor that he had purchased a couple of years before from the State Police auction.440, Pos.Traction, superior suspension and handling--- It was an amazing vehicle. While I only lost two `1/4-mile` drags, I NEVER lost drag races of `1/2-mile` or more ( hence the designation `Interceptor`). That car would be "nose-up" until @ 90mph, then the front-end would level out, then drop slightly.Although I never went over 110mph, there was plenty of pedal left. What a rush!
That is great! My father bought a new one in 1972. He however said it was the biggest "lemon" he ever owned. Got more milage behind the tow truck would stop as he drove it in highway. Never started in warm weather. He traded in for his first GM; a new 1977 Cutlass Supreme. A few weeks later he got a electrical recall notice from Chrysler.... Which he forwarded to Dealership. Ground wire from ballast resistor was the answer to all his starting issues.
Greetings from central Australia, makes me feel cold looking at your video. We are heading into Autumn here and day time temps are still in the mid 40's centigrade ( approx 110 F ) hope cool weather gets here soon.
Years ago, I had a 67 Fury II two-door. Originally came with a 318 and three on the tree. The original motor was DOA when I got it, so I transplanted a 727 Torqueflite automatic and 383 big block into the body. Fun car! :D
Beautiful looking car, always liked it. Hope the remaining Furys dont die out.
I agree with anyone who said that they live that sound of that Mopar starter!!
great car!.. loved the front end.. my dad drove a 72 Fury Sport Suburban wagon .. Sunfire Yellow black interior.. 360.. concealed headlights.. bumper guards.. dual air conditioning (we’re in humidity city Houston and Tyler down in Texas) y’all sure wouldn’t need the dual air unit for sure! .. sure like your gold Newport
Watching your video brought back memories. During my high school years I drove a '73 Plymouth Fury III, 4 door, brown w/tan vinyl roof and a 360 under the hood, it had it's bad days once in a great while but I loved that car. Thx for posting video!
Love cars like this. The engine noise has a rice rumble to it, shakes my desk a little.
The old girl started like a champ! There are new cars that didn’t do that
you know its cold when the snow squeaks under your boots
And you know how to use an accelator pump and the choke properly. The good battery took care of the rest . Good job. So many folk can't do this anymore.
Those cars are amazing,they always start and run,they'll never make cars like that again,now it's only plastic and bullshit
yeah thats still a cool car heading toward its 50th birthday.
what a beauty....I used to have one just like it in the 80's...best car I ever had
That is one good looking car! You're lucky to have that as a daily driver even though it's not in the best condition.
Seems like the beast will start even through 50 ice ages! Take care!
@blindmotorhead I set the idle mixture too rich and blew the back of the muffler open when it backfired. It sounds better, so I didn't fix it.
gotta love the sound of the starter! COOL MAN!
Love that car, sounds awesome and with the rust showing through the paint gives it real character. Even the name is amazing, America certainly use to make the best cars in the world.
Back then if it was a cold morning and you wanted to get it started and get the heck out of the driveway and on your way you'd better plan for a few struggles, multiple ignition key twists and lots of warm-up time while you clear all the snow off. I'm talking about winters well south of the Canadian border. So it's almost unbelievable how quickly the old tanks turn over in these vids. You must be maintaining these things better than the average car owner did when they were common on the road.
@DeAdiSSu3 Thanks! It's not really very nice though; actually its kind of rough...but I still share your enthusiasm for the old Furys. Tough and reliable, even at 40 years old.
I like the front of the 72 the best, it is an intimidating face in traffic!
coldwarmotors I couldn’t agree with you more one the looks of the front end/grill & bumper. I owned 5 different ‘72 Fury’s that were all former Ohio State Highway Patrol units. They had the 440 with the 727 Torqueflites. Great cars to run around in. Then when the 73’s came out back then I just couldn’t warm up to the restyled front end. Someone must’ve been nursing a hangover when the designed that one! Good Day to You!
Another great old mopar! Keep it runnin!
Most people just didn't know how to set the automatic choke on these cars. On my 1976 Plymouth Volare the instructions are printed on the top side of the sun visor. You press the gas pedal all the way to the floor then lift your foot all the way off and now the choke is set. Now turn the key and it fires right up and idles a little fast.Let it warm up a tad and tap the pedal just enough to let the carb off of the high choke cam. One mistake is to pump the gas right after it starts as this causes the choke to drop down from the higher choke cam.
That has a really good battery! Who says old 70's cars won't start in the cold weather! They sure will!
Made my day, thanks very much for sharing. A proper eargasm!!
My dad had one with a 360, full size and still turned a few heads.
Neat cars!
I myself own a '77 ford LTD II. LOVE that thing! still drives like a dream
Alberta daily driver!!!
If this car was in Toronto, it wouldn't exist anymore, it would have disintegrated 30 years ago. Toronto is salt, salt, salt for six months of the year.
Wow how long have you had this show
Mine had the fury lll that lit up just behind the front fender marker lights. Mine was a 4door 360.
I had one like this, white with a green interior, 318 engine and a 3 speed. Drum brakes, bench seats.... Saskatchewan car from close to Saskatoon. I had no place to work on it, lost interest in it and gave it, yes actually gave it away.
Reminds me of starting a 1973 Mustang Mach 1 in 0F. Brutal. I could barely turn the key in the ignition either from metal expansion or grease hardening.
I'm 47 now ,but when I was 16 my pap had a 73 fury with a 318 I passed a corvette on a toll bridge with it then I did a burnout and when it caught traction it twisted the engine and transmission apart never seen it happen to a vehicle since .It have me a bad rap with being someone that tearful cars but never hurt another car after that
Typicle mopar starts right up ! those are GREAT cars . God I miss old mopars
I promised some weeks ago to upload a vid of my Ply:
'72 Plymouth Fury III
Thanks for watching :-)
are u gonna maintain the rust? or just leterr rot on? either way, its an awesome daily driver man!
Like that shade of blue.
Nice big car. Big boat! These cars(old cars) are so cool cause they're unforgiving, you know, mean looking! AC/DC of cars...60's and 70's models like your's! Cool! Today's vehicles are probably better, more efficient and reliable but wow, you just gotta admit, these old hunks of metal were kick ass! Highway To Hell, and other AC/DC songs come to mind when seeing one of these things! lol...Great stuff! Lead burning, no catalytic converter, straight out the pipe! Yeah!!!!
I like the sound of that Plymouth. I once bought a 73. fury. at a VOA. for 50.00. they said the motor was locked but I knew it was the starter. put a starter on it and it fired right up.
looks like a Fury wagon with all the snow! lol. that ol girl's a peach! dad had a 72' two dr. Imperial. them rear quarters man! like a billboard!! hah :)
@sytsesinnema Thanks!
I don't know about "beautiful", but I'm glad you liked it!
I'm seeing a pattern here. You must like Plymouth Furys.❤️✌️👍😎 cheers
The 1972 Plymouth Fury front ends looked very hideous! The 1973 Fury front end was an improvement and the 1974 Fury was the best looking for the 1970s of the Plymouths, especially the 1974 Fury and 1974 Dodge Monaco hardtop sport coupes like the Blues Brothers Blues Mobile with the 440 big block V8 4 barrel in all of them! Chevrolets looked the best and were the most reliable of the domestic cars. The Chevrolet Impala was the best looking car in 1972, especially the 2 doors: sport coupes, custom coupes, and the convertibles! I will take a 2 door Impala sport coupe or a convertible with a 454 V8 4 barrel and dual exhausts any day, thank you very much!
The old homely thing started right up.
I am 16 and am curently purchasing a 1973 Fury with a 318V8 Love the V8 rumble
Was looking for the "Thunderbolt" Fury and found this and your '58. You're famous, man!! 6 ciders in and I gotta check out. Chow
The worst part about the old Mopars was the awful noise made while cranking. I had a mid 60's Plymouth slant 6 as a make due car for a short time in the 80's but I hated the sound it make when it cranked.
Great! Always cool to hear from other Fury drivers...
I have seen that a cold start in Canada is different than a cold start in Alabama . I have new respect after this video. Keep up the good work love the vids!
+Chris talton Hey thanks! Cold-start season is coming up!
+Chris talton wwatch his old start challenge my god.. chev for the win!
Minecraft Caleb plays Crayfish , what Province in Canada?
What a beauty! I love the patina! It sounds amazing! What engine's in it? Is the exhaust system stock?
What a story. The. Expression. You can’t. Kill. That. Thing. I’m. From. Moncton. New Brunswick. We. Have. Several roads. Just like most. Provinces. In. Canada. Nortrois. Roads. For. Moose and. Dear. From. Moncton. Hey. 11. And. Route. 126. Worse. In. 60. And 70s. Life. Changing. Missies. Thanks
i found it a little hard to look at lol!
cool video. i like to see old Mopars started up in cold weather, theyr'e tough.
I love the sound of mopar starters hahaha
weird how chrysler canada didn't get electronic ignition until 1973, u.s chrysler products, had it in 1972.
@Tibb91 HI! Its a 318 (small block), 2 barrel carb, 727 Torqueflite trans, 8 1/4 rear.
Hahaha, the almighty algorithm decided I needed to see this today. 😂
Yep; all my Chrysler-driving friends keep a couple of extra ballast resistors in the glove box! This car had the carb installed really crooked right from new, too! These old Plymouths are great, once you get the bugs out...
i am not born on the good continent.
Problem of my life..
THAT SOUND !!!!
This was the first video of yours I ever watched years ago.
Haha Dean too... that's how I met him. He saw the car in a parking lot and hung around to talk about junkers!
I'll make my comment number 318. Like the engine in this one is a 318. Scott, your videos have really come along way.
@iloveretro78 Thanks! I think they changed the starter design in about '76 and they lost the destinctive whining sound...
It's been a long time since I've seen your videos and I've noticed you have a new inventory of cars. My question is, do you still have this '72 Fury?
I still have this Fury and the 72 Newport, but I only drive the Newport now...Cheers!
I hope you had synthetic oil in the oilpan, they are fluid in these low temperatures, ordinary mineral oil is like chewing gum in -26C. If you manage to start it with mineral oil in-26C, the engine may blow before the oil get fluid enough to flow.
Better use an engine block heater anyway.
Cheers.
these babies mostly run on mineral oil since the synthetic oil was too expensive for the middle class worker who had to keep a tigh budget, as a nordic nation we became very good at getting our rides fit and ready for wathever winter may bring to us daily.
It's amazing! I love old cars like Oldsmobile, or Plymouth so much! And the sound is also amazing! Unfortunately I live in Europe, so I can not have any of them.... :-( :-(
Why can you not have any of the cars in europe
hello, can i borrow a part of your video for my compilation? of course I put a link to your original video in the description :)
glad I found your channel, videos are 10 years old and enjoyable to look at :)
Nice to see those things start pretty easy at those temps, unlike many stereotypes say!
funny how canadiac chrysler vehichles didn't get electronic ignition until 1973, in the u.s , we had electronic ignition on all chrysler vehichles in 1972.
meant to say canadian chryslers didn't get electronic ignition until 1973. (1972 in u.s)
Geeze the memories. Love it.
Choke needs a bit of adjustment is all. I had an 86 caprice that even on the coldest days i would pump her three times and then start it right up. I do like fuel injection, but miss having a carburetor some times.
i always liked the mopar starter sound, it is unique.
Lol thats a nice car.. i have a 1969 plymouth fury III convertible with the 383 i think and it had sat in storage for 6 years i dont nothing to i didnt even go to unlock the door in those 6 years one day i went and bought a battery put it in there and it started right up..thats y i love plymouths they were good cars you dont see many of them now at all.
Is this Fury similar to the 72 Newport royal? "Curious" 400 block? 727 torque flight trans? Love your videos Cold war motors!
Reminds me of my first car when I was 14. The guy said I could have it if I took it away. Me and My brother pushed it home over gravel for about 1/2 mile.
I love the way this car sounds. How is she running these days?
That's really cold eh? The old Valiants used to wind over like that too.
