    I live in the North of Sweden and own this car right now, it looks way better now and is ready for some engine and driveline upgrades this winter. Pretty funny finding this video just by accident.

    I love, love, love these mid 60's mopars. I had a 1966 Belvedere with a 383 4 barrel, 727 auto back in 1986. 700 bucks. I miss that car. Someday I hope to get another or a car similar to it. Love this car.

      No. That time is probably a thing of the past. It's a shame really as many have been priced out of the hobby.

    Yeh..I remember jumping my car to start it from under the hood like he did by jumping the terminals on the starter solenoid with a screw driver. The key has to be turned on in the ignition switch though. Brings back memories.

    My girlfriends dad drove one of these which was Black and Red with a red interior . I also had a model kit of this car in 1967 and I liked how this car copied the Impala 3-light system with a back-up light .
    That 5:52 crank issue sounds exactly like a timing issue where it is too far advance for the BTDC degrees.
    I'd back it off to help crank it over until I checked all the cylinders for compression to spot bad Rings or Valves and then do an Oil flush and change the filter in case an Oil passage is partially clogged or a sticky Oil ring on the piston .

    Good luck trying to find a barn with early 60's Japanese cars because my 76 Honda went through 2 exhaust system in 3 years while the tin can front fenders rusted off at the bottom mounting bolts .
    I watched a video where a 32 FORD was pulled out of a garage in original condition and once the fuel was purged from the tank and lines and the motor oil replaced the car started up and ran after almost 50 years of dust in the garage since the early 1960's.
    Solid car for a resto-mod .

      … yeah those kinda videos are fun to watch because if your mechanical and have been around engines that are started after sitting for 20 plus years. You just gotta know all these cowboys n cowgirls who attempt starting these engines after just only changing the oil and sometimes not even that, without dropping the pan and purging the oil delivery system are in for a surprise down the road. The engines that more than likely when parked ran just fine internally, will now just mill themselves to extinction. Somewhere along the oil pathways and oil galleries are gonna be components gummy beared up including the oil filter boss check valve or perhaps the oil pump itself and it's uptake screen to mention just a few components…. Yeah always fun to watch .

      Ryan David 8 I can Guaranty you that if hot rodders or manufacture's alike would of thought about how good a larger wheel looks and just how amazing a 20 inch wheel with fat rubber and the perfect off-set would look on a rod like this they would of done it long ago. Now if your talking about those super huge 28" and up wheels then yes, that's ridiculous so for the future I think it's important to be more specific when talking "big wheels" because that can mean so many things these days you know

    This may be a 426 Street Ram.....365HP? Like c300g says, not a Max w/o the C/R induction. These engines did NOT represent Chrysler very well........others called them Street Rats!.......And they were, BTW, .......I was there, & I'm a Mopar guy, at least I was then.

  • @PinyonGear
    @PinyonGear 8 лет назад +3

    Nice car,looks like a 426 street wedge, not a Max Wedge. The street wedge came with a single low rise 4 barrel intake with snorkeless chrome air cleaner, and log style exhaust manifolds,but this engine is running later model b body exhaust manifolds and seemingly taller intake. A true Max Wedge came with a high rise dual quad cross ram intake manifold and long sweep header style cast iron exhaust manifolds. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

      That’s not original motor it should be a 426 wedge but it’s the earlier 413 with some trashed out carburetor so who now what this car came with only one wheel peel so could have been a poly 318 maybe a 6 who knows got to read the tags
