Looks like I'm gonna be watching more of your videos. To the early morning hours, 1962 oh my gosh❤ I was born in 62 62 years ago.Back to the future and here I am back again❤❤❤ Thank you.❤
That Plymouth is such a pretty car. Those guys are gonna enjoy it for years to come. Thanks for keeping beauties like this on the road for folks to enjoy 👍
No, not at all. I read your description however and nowhere does it say that you are a flipper, or if you prefer, your in the business of buying classic automobiles, and fixing them up for resale. After watching about 3 of your videos I was under the impression you were passionate about old vintage cars and that you were buying them for yourself. But then I realized you sell them on. It's just easier if you would make it clear in your description what your business is all about. I certainly didn't mean to make you angry. I'm a 65 year old fellow who has been a car nut since birth, done my fair share of wrenching on cars. Iam the owner of my parents 1958 cadillac they bought in 1960 from a Doctor friend of theirs. I was just 1 then. Lol. And a beautiful 1968 Mustang I bought in 1977, in my senior year of high school. Both in great shape, on the road. I'm enjoying your videos, the beautiful scenery and good music! Carry on!
@@johnfranklin5277 I own many cars and collect them. I’m not in the business of buying and selling cars. I am passionate about vintage cars. I buy them for myself. But in order to get more cars you have to let others go. Unless you’re filthy rich it’s not sustainable to keep buying and buying and never selling. I’ve had cars that I’ve owned for a long time. I still have the first car I ever bought. The majority of cars that I buy… I buy cause I want them and I enjoy them. I bring cars back from the dead. I take them on long trips. But there’s always more cars to find and experience. Some cars I’d never sell others can be bought just so I can get another to enjoy. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy the future videos.
@ObsoleteAutomotive Just saw this. Appreciate your post. I'm absolutely enjoying your videos. ! I subbed from the get-go ! Your videos going across Route 66 and Interstate 40 remind me of the 4 trips I made from Southern California to Missouri, and one trip to Wilmington North Carolina. Beautiful country, so much to see. Hope to make another journey like that again. Take care and be safe out there.
Hi Austin. I love your videos and I think I've watched them all. Hey, great save on this Chrysler! It has tons of excellent hard to find parts. A radio delete on a Chrysler? Wow, unique! The stainless trim is in fantastic shape. Get it running; sure, why not. A safe, reliable driver? Come on, now, buddy, The front seat is going to drop right into the ground when you drive it.😅P.S. Your son/daughter was SO well behaved during this adventure and man, your wife sure knows her way around an electric winch!. Until next time. My first car for my college commute was a 1965 Belvedere II convertible and I learned to drive on Mom's 1964 Dodge 4 door 2-seat base (330?) Mopar turquoise station wagon with the push button automatic, no power steering/brakes (it had a radio and heater and full wheel covers). I STILL can parallel park any vehicle 60 years later. 🤣
Was probably hard to let the 62 Plymouth go. Lots of memories on that LONG haul across the country. I have sold all of the cars that I should have kept. Lol. I was always after another project. That mint green had to be a cool color when it was new. I grew up in southern Oklahoma and there was a good Chrysler and Dodge dealer there so I saw a lot of these cars as a kid.
You dropped the Plymouth off near where i grew up. I haven't been there in over twenty years. I do miss the scenery there and driving up and down that particular road.
Aside from the rot, it appears to be all there. Not all bashed up, glass is good and the doors open close really well. I think its def worth fixing the floors and mechanicals. You dont find those front ends any more.
The little squiggles in the grime on the vehicle body are likely snail or slug tracks from them munching on bio layer of grime. A guess anyhow, I've plucked a few vehicles out of forests, and found snails hanging around. Some were on the side of a 69 Merc Marquis 4-door hardtop brougham I found. It was an awesome cruiser once I cleaned it up, gave it rebuilt heads on the 429, 4 barrel intake, and a new Holley out of the box. It ran great. Got 12mpg on it's best day. I loved that boat.
I was a bit sad to see the '62 Plymouth sold and delivered. Somehow I still think I'll own another '62 like the '62 Dodge Dart 318 push button former Police car I had in HS back in 1967.
Interesting, never seen a radio delete 62 before. No power brakes either. Definitely a good car to beat around in and the taillight chrome looks to be in one piece! It’ll be interesting to see what works on it (electroluminescent, engine/transmission, etc.)
Dang, kinda looks like back roads of KY, SE KY at that. Yep, definitely looks like KY, and going up a winding mountain road, geez. But parts of Virginia, Tennessee, KY and w. Virginia, especially in the Appalachia region, all looks alike.
back in the day, i wouldn't have looked twice at a 4door sedan, but now kinda diggin em...pretty much what everybody drove then, and nice to be able to take all the friends along...plus a lot of metal and glass...and this one's doors look great. yea a daily 62 newport would be great...the free engine gives one some hope that it will fire on its own again. I remember following a 61 Newport 4door sedan, bombing down the hiway at about 80...thought that was the coolest thing ever.
For the first 12 years of my life - the 'family car' was a white with gray interior 1962 Chrysler Windsor sedan. [The Canadian version of the 'Newport'] I was brought home from the hospital in that car and cried when my dad traded it in on a gold 1968 Chrysler Newport sedan. I was never a big fan of that car. When I was about 6 - while my family was visiting - I sat in the Windsor and pretended to drive by pushing the transmission buttons. Somehow they got jammed [not sure how that happened! lol] and dad had to drive all the way home in 1st gear!
Another fun video. I'm curious to see what you will do with this '62 Newport. (And, that must have been the most common Chrysler color that year -- most all seem to be that light green.)
Whoever ordered this Chrysler was very frugal. No radio, no clock, no left side veiw mirror. The mirror location on this car is in the wrong spot. I'm guessing that power steering and brakes were optional on the 62 Newport. I'm not sure if this one is so equipped. The only options I see are automatic transmission and day/night mirror. Lots of weight reduction on this one as well. It's still worth saving for sure.
My great uncle was a great guy but super frugal despite being very wealthy.Born in 1894, in 1963 He ordered a new chevy Impala. He was 69 then and it was his only new car. Here is how he ordered it. V8, automatic transmission. Manual steering, manual brakes. Radio delete. Manual windows, the car said IMPALA and had 3 tail lights on each side, but that was the extent of its luxuries! He drove till he was 97 that was 1991, put it away, and passed at 100 and 4 months.
I would at least get it running and go through the brakes. Drive it around the yard a bit and see how it is. Be careful of those tail light castings. Yours are still in good shape but they can easily be broken. If you proceed to metal work, maybe you can use the 880 as a template to fabricate the floors with the correct embossments and all that. My parents bought a 62 Newport 4 door HT brand new. White with blue interior. It was equipped pretty much like this one, except ours also had a radio and clock. No power brakes. Power steering though. It's interesting how certain color interiors had a black dash pad no matter what. Ours had a matching blue pad. The red interiors had black pads. Looks like this one, with a grey interior, has a black pad too. I wonder why they did that.
I just took a bong rip and started watching your video driving through the winding road? It made me so dizzy LOL thanks for the wonderful videos I always enjoy them guys love the road trips I'm an old Chrysler guy I had a nice 71 Plymouth scamp and also a 63 Chrysler 300 69 a100 turtle back they used to call it camper little camper with the 318 I haven't owned one for a while I sure miss honing an old Chrysler.
Not much of a car and a lot of fuss and bother to get it home but the price was right. I will not be surprised to see it up and running in little to no time at all. This WAS a very long video,but I enjoyed every minute of it. I just paused it and went and took a nap in the middle of it, so no problem.
I certainly hope they dont drive it in the winter..it does snow in Virginia, and they do SALT the roads. If they do, in a few years it will be rusted. Too bad it didn't wind up in Southern California, Arizona, Southern Utah, Nevada, where it wouldn't be at risk of any CORROSION.
@@johnfranklin5277 My first car is a 1957 Plymouth and I daily drove it for a decade all over the country, through salt, mud, snow, rain and it’s still not rusted out. If you take care of your car then it’ll be just fine.
Yeah, don’t worry. It’s not going to be driven in the winter. We’ve been pretty busy with the car with some under hood cleanup (degreasing) and light maintenance while putting TTI tailpipes and 2-1/2 inch dual exhausts with long case dynomax turbo mufflers and resonators on it. Also swapped to some early seventies C body exhaust manifolds with some RemFlex gaskets. Its an awesome cruiser and we almost always have a private car show when we take it out. It’s going to stay indoors during the winter months.
@@chipieal No I didn’t break them over tightening. I was loosening them first off to try and swap the flat tire. And I know full well about left hand and right hand studs… I’ve owned literally hundreds of MoPars… The car is so rusty that the studs broke free inside the hub and spun with the nuts still attached with hardly any force.
@@ObsoleteAutomotive I grew up with Imperials. My dad owned 9 from 1956 to 1975 and also a NYB. I owned a 64 for years until I had to sell it to pay medical bills. I also had a 78 NYB with The St. Regis package.
On changing that tire you do know that that thing is a left handed screws on there so Lefty is tidy and righty is Lucy? And also the little squigglys is from snails crawling on your car they eat that stuff the more you know

Love your videos the way you take us to different places while your going to pick up nice older cars❤
This one may be better as a parts car but it will be fun to see if it will run and drive !
Once water finds its way into a car it's often game over. A shame it was grossly neglected since it looks straight and could have been saved.
the '62 Plymouth is the last word in modernity. I hope the new owners enjoy the car.
So I have come to the realization this young man is a car flipper. Just started watching his channel yesterday.
@@johnfranklin5277 And? Is there a problem buying cars, fixing them up and then getting other people into them?

She needs a lot of help. A neat year for Chrysler with slanted quad head lights. Is a good looking car. Hope you get her runnin and fix her up!
That back up job is something I deal with all the time. One reason I want a rollback when my channel and car business gets to that point.
I wish. I don’t think I’ll ever have that kinda free money laying around. 😂
@ObsoleteAutomotive mine will definitely be something not very new lol. Friend got one for 5k though. Early 80s c70.
Nice job backing down that gravel driveway😮that was not easy 😕

They can get jammed if you start trying to push buttons in at the same time or one of the buttons comes loose from the shift selector inside the dash!

О ништяк, будет что посмотреть после работы!
i had that happen with the studs on a '48 dodge im building. when i finally got them off i replaced them with .010" oversized splined studs!
Would like to see this car on the road, and the Astro dome come alive 🎉
Snails eat the mold thats what causes the squiligy's ..Rubber ducky your the one you make bath time lots of fun..

I40 between between ashville and newport really sucks.
