I Bought a Plymouth Duster SIGHT UNSEEN - WILL IT RUN? - Vice Grip Garage EP47

- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- I bought this 1974 Plymouth Duster online sight unseen (weird I know). The dusters in pretty rough shape, but that doesn't stop me from attempting to see if the 318 will run! If if starts, you know I've got to test drive it. Do you think this one will have brakes?

![1970 Dodge Charger sat for 20 years... Will It Run? feat. @DylanMcCoolVideo [EP1]](/img/1.gif)
Gonna go ahead and pre-like this one, fella already knows it’s gon be good
Thank you sir, you're awesome
Vice Grip Garage it’s all you brother! Keep it up!
I liked right on time bbdoll
A guy always pre-likes so he dont forget about it.
🤣🤣
I find myself talking like this guy while at work it helps me through my misery
Every dam time
@@RTWGraphics bleep bloop
That’s happening to me too .. what’s with that . Haha
Andy L it’s called self reference stimulation. Similar to what happens when your young feller and start to sound like your male guardian.
A guy understands what you’re talkin about
I was just thinking ‘cool, those wheels are are exactly like mine’ then guy says ‘these rims are hideous, they’ve gotta go!’
Took the wind out of my sails ha ha😂
that can be him just joshing
Different strokes for different folks . I like them
@B Annoying ,👍
why didn’t he use an electric fuel pump to the carb and check the accelerator pump like he did for all the other cars that sat? Instead he beat on the poor starter way more than he should
@Nombre Apellido No worries, I wasn’t offended, just found it funny. As a few have said different strokes for different folks. Thanks!
Was the most sincere “oh shit” I’ve ever heard!! Great job Derrick
My hat off to this guy. I see him tackling the worst jobs and it gives me inspiration. Thanks bro
Working on classic is the best life choice I ever made idk what you mean 💀😭
Am I the only one reminded of red green while watching him? The way he talks gets me laughing so much while at the same time he is really good at getting these things going. The combination keeps me watching
Yes Sir about 2 videos back that is exactly who I thought of Red Green
I said the same thing!
Thought so myself Red Green it is ,Duct Tape and all
The real Red Green, not an actor.
yeah
When I tore down the 318 from my 69 fury, I thought I was going in for a re-ring and valve grind.
She was a little rough and smokey but still started well didn't knock and made decent power. What I found was 7 cracked pistons, 3 burnt valves, a cam gear with more than half of the plastic teeth completely gone, and an oil pump completely full of muck and ground up engine guts.
Once I spent way more money and time than I wanted to, I got her back together but it just would not run.
Took days to figure out the distributor spins "backward".
My mom still has a picture of me grinning like an idiot surrounded by that first start smoke cloud.
That engine taught me a thing or two about life and such..
Derek you saved me during covid, made me laugh when I thought I could not. Bless you all
Ditto, found this during coved and made me laugh so much. God bless you Derek
Hope you guys are doing better. Stay safe!!!
Me too. I can't drive because of health reasons but I admit I do like these car videos. It really takes talent to work on cars (especially these days with all the electronics involved). Derick really has that talent and I think his laid back persona really helps him in some of these situations.
A guy was looking for an entertaining show, so we did the right thing and watched VGG. Good job, and thank you kind sir for some great non-technical gearheadery for just another guy to enjoy watching.
I've literally gotten to the point of saying "Welp that's factree"
anytime anything goes wrong in my life now 😂
Agreed. Weight reduction (for rust) and its straight besides the dents. The way he talks is worth watching alone.
Jonalec Algeo me too ha ha
never hurts to have an extra battree.
Never seen such a skilled mechanic be so entertaining before. Great stuff. Only kills me a little bit to see people seemingly so easily fix stuff I know a lot of us have gotten rid of some cars for.
I'm always amazed at how quickly (and seemingly easily) he can bring a car from "salvage" to "hunk of junk"! I'm one of those Mopar guys, I'd like to see this one go to "I'd let my kids drive it" at least.
As someone who loves the sound of a mopar starter. I loved this episode
We were told when I worked for a Chrysler dealer from 79-94 that these were called a Highland Park Gear Reduction Starter! I certainly think the new direct drives are faster and quiet but I do miss that high pitched whine! The gear reduction was designed to spin over the (big blocks) more easily.
Ah, a dolphin lover… 🐬
🤣👍🏻😉
That’s the best car sound ever!!
My kid just asked me why I spend all day elbows deep in rusty junk, only to spend my off time watching someone else do the same thing.
I told him "when I figure it out, I'll let you know."
😂
It's so you feel better about your own rusty junk.
Misery loves company.
I just come here to watch a very knowledgeable fellow talk this not so knowledgeable fellow out of getting a fixer upper.
Never a truer word spoken 😎
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
28:15 🎶head out on the highway🎶....."oh sh!t" -- car stalls on road
I was lmao!
haha, always somethin!
Ive watched every episode and this is the only real curse. Was like... did I just hear that? Caught a fella off guard haha
Yea that part had me laughing like hell
I was shocked to hear him say shit. I would of had at least 10 in there
Dang that was funny!!!’
*driving the car and it's falling apart on him and may not make it back home * "Oh, that guy has a Craftsman". I love this guys commentary on his videos!
OMG....I'm in the middle of buying a house.....and its a miserable process. Watching this guy has me in stitches....and helps me get through my day!! I'm now talking a whole new language!! My new favorite RUclips channel!! Brilliant!!!
I have enjoyed several nice long walks while owning Dodges. Usually going for help before cell phones. Love the channel.
I loved my walk home when my old 1984 charger's timing belt snapped while waiting for a train to pass by in North Minneapolis. Walked home, grabbed my 87 Celebrity drove back to my charger and pushed it 10 miles home with my Chevy Celeb.
In the early 90s working way out of state I bought a 79 Magnum XE GT for $200 at an impound lot to get me home. I probably spent another $200 in normal wear items and fluid changes and drove that car all over the Eastern US with the only problem being a flat tire. Four friends and I decided one evening to go from the coast of North Carolina to an hour West of Chicago to pick my girlfriend's brother up and drop someone off and we averaged 82mph. Such a comfortable highway cruiser that got taken by the hurricane that hit a week after getting back or I'd still have it. I even worked for Dodge later on hoping to get another and I'm working on getting a 79 300 now.

Mopar are awesome can't wait to get mine done, learning some things from this guy plus his attitude is great and he plugs along until he gets it done and he doesn't complain
when that feeling of the first drive turns into ...please just get me home :)
haha yup
Can't quit watching and listening. He's great.
Derek gets your blood pumping and then he....
Started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago and you really hook a guy in. Best stuff I've seen on the RUclips....
I agree ,he's very entertaining for car guys like us.
"That's a 318 here, and for you canadians watching, that's 600 waffles." Lmao 🤣
And a barrel of syrup - maple
That part killed me lmao
loved the humor in this video. I also appreciate a guy that knows the proper snowball effect a simple carb rebuilt can lead to. =]
that's like the joke about the salesman who sold the guy a boat and ranger truck
My dad taught me “a little will do a little good and a lot will do a lot of good”
I’m pleased to see we share the same beliefs 👍
Hey my name Joe lovely I'm 59 years old sounds I wke up in the morning and can't Waite to watch one of your videos its great seeing those cars I grew up with run again and your sense of humer your doing great thanks for what you do.
A fella got up early Saturday morning and made coffee for me and the missus, sat down and the missus said "Lets watch Vice Grip Garage!" A fella has the best wife on the planet. Thank you for giving us something to spend time together to watch! Fist bump from Houston, Texas.
Hey texas! Glad you two enjoy
That distinctive Dodge starter sound and having to wait for the starter to stop spinning when it doesn't fire. Exactly like my dad's 73 Dodge truck.
1968 dodge coronet r/t 440 loved her as a teen, she was hit/crushed by a truck while sitting still in an icey parking lot.
@@robertmiller5735 damn what a bummer I had a 68 Coronet 440 as well. I still have a 76 Dodge 4 X 4. Military truck D300
Man I grew up at the wrong time.While my 1st car was a 62 Bel air it would have been cool to have a 440 coronet or 70 chevelle back in the day.
It ain't going nowhere if the ballast resistor is kaputsky
Love the sound of a Chrysler starter. lol
Old mopars have a very unique sound
AKAKAGAGAGAGAGA. Brings back those old memories.
My buddie who rebuilds starters everyday calls them Kerby vacuum cleaner starters because of the way they sound.
Yup. The last of the 318 new Yorker had them. My first ve hickle
Oh yeah I love them! I own two motorhomes that make the exact same sounds.
it was like they were laughing at you all the time...hahahahahahaha I'm not going to start..
How fun to watch you! How about since its brown, and runs so great, how about "Dusturd"!?
I was thinking more like SKIDMARK but I like DUSTURD better.
heh I was going to suggest Dumpster.
Or hopeless $'s Pit!
I swear this is like watching a young Red Green!
Thanks
I was thinking that exact same thing. 🤣
You betcha.
Man you said it right on the money, the first time i watched one of his videos I thought the exact same thing and 😂 laughed so much. I’m glad to see, but not surprised that I’m not the only who gets that
@@jeromejakubowski7763 a guy could watch these videos back to back for hours laughing his ass off the entire time. Lol
Never knew driving around the block could be so intense. love it.
318 c.i equals 600 waffles in Canadian. I almost split my cold snack laughing so hard. 👍🏻
needs a timing chain and carb rebuild
We can't afford waffles up here, that's crazy talk!
😂
Best looking car in my eyes that ever have rolled out from a factory! Just love Dusters!!!
My mom ran a 72 duster for years, around about 84 I walked behind the Ol Duster and the fuel storage device was laying on the ground. My dad came out and took a peek and to our amazement we could see the ground. Cancer got her real good.
Actually I'll have you know we measure engine displacement in barrels of maple syrup up here
I stand corrected!
@@ViceGripGarage corrected great thinking love Canada
Hence the 4 barrel. Wait...
Fair enough
murfbass 🤣🤣
I love everything about this channel man i love the thought of someone who clearly cares about muscle cars rescuing them from their deathbeds, i love that you have such a sense of humour that makes me want to keep watching. Man You. Are. Amazing.
You know when people talk about 'Neighbours From Hell'? Well I'd love to be neighbours with Derek and pull my easy chair out whenever he's working on his cars on the driveway. Why go on holiday or to the cinema when you can watch the Master at work? Great video Derek ... loved the bits when you tried cornering ... I was expecting to hear a wheel or two fall off. 😀😂🇬🇧
I’ve also adopted the use of the term “well that’s too much, perfect”
"I think something's wrong with the front end."
-VGG, after seeing the whole shock tower not attached and still driving the car anyways.
Keep doing your thing, your videos are always awesome!
doesnt matter something was always wrong with those old dodge front ends ,even if you just fixed it .still love em tho.
Frankly when I saw that, I was absolutely "shocked..."
Dang it!
A guys gonna have trouble waiting so long
you'll maker, only 4 more hours!
amazing how people treat a car. the one thing you really depend on and treated like crap. good to seer in good hands now.
I had a 1970 Duster heired to me in 1977 when I was 19. It had the 318 and only 30k miles on it. Man that was a fun ride!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again...a guy already knows it’s a good vidja, so go ahead and give it a thumbs up.
I can’t watch while my wife is sleeping this had to be the funniest yet.
Dust in time
Derek, you are truly a "Master Mechanic"! Who needs all those certifications when you have the knowledge from YEARS of experience! And also learned from the best (Dad & Grand-dad) I love your demeanor and the laughs you give us fellers and fellettes! Keep up the good work!
That MOPAR starter whine - aahh the sounds of my youth.
It gives me the warm fuzzier.
Known in Chrysler circles as the "Hamtramck Hummingbird."
You should totally come back to this after you finish building on independence. Its a solid body and the old 318 actually sounds half decent when it isnt running itself to death from timing issues
A guy needs to give the video a thumbs up befo’ he sees the thing because he knows it’s gonna be good!
Thank you Danny
Vice Grip Garage I’ve been doin that since way back when I subscribed an ya never let me down 👍 if I could I’d hit like now for the next video already lol 😂👌
Watching you wrestle with ol' Two Pumps brings back lots of memories. Thanks for that.
Since a guy only recently found yer channel, I'm gunna go ahead and like and watch every dang video I can with some wobbly pops.
"Cruster" sounds like a good name. Even with all it's faults, it'll sure look good back in the trees.
Glad to see a guy did the right thing and bought his Duster sight unseen, it’s on eBay so you know it’s gonna be just fine.
Yeah, nobody sells junk on eBait, now do they? Always the top of the line....."looks and runs like new".
🤣🤣
What a perfectly lovely treasure of videos I stumbled upon here. Never change nothing please.
i had the exact same car 74 with the rear seat convertible pack... best thing about the car was the vent on the passenger side that had a door that opens and you can put a full six pack of beer in there to stay cold for the passenger of course while he is riding into town with you :)
Ahh...I've missed that sound a Mopar starter makes. My first car was a 72 Plymouth Scamp with the 318.
Had lots of fun with that car.
"Get yer motor runnin..OHSHIT" 😂
😂🤷♂️
🎵Somethin somethin somethin 🎵
I had a 71, 340 cid . I absolutely loved that car !
I’d love to see some interviews of this guys neighbors on what they think of his car collection 😹
Me too lol.
I would imagine they all know what he's all about, and a decent guy 😁
A guy gets on with his neighbours because A guy helps them out with their sparkerlators 😂
@@compostcorner5934 Or, "Harry, that guy across the street is making all that noise with his junky old cars again. All day long, vrooom, vroom, vroom... Tell him to stop it or we'll call the police."
@@sportsmediaamerica 😂. Yep it could be one or the other lol
@@sportsmediaamerica lets ask the guy... Hey Derek, how do you get on with the neighbours 😁
I just spit my coffee out when you pulled the fuse box out of the trunk, that just sort of sums up things going forward.
the thing about this car is you can look cool driving it in any condition because they're so iconic. I had one with a 318, and I modified it
Derrick is a better comedian than most paid ones. Although...he is no joke when it comes to wrenching. A common guy that has an excellent base of knowledge and experience. I am happy to have found his channel.
Dude I found you yesterday on RUclips and I freaking love your stuff. Like 12/9. It's a fraction
😂😂.. thanks man
When that quit on you on the way home I laughed so hard I almost started hyper ventilating! You are really fun too watch!
Watching this for the second time. I'm a Mopar guy but more than that I am a Derek fan!! Love this episode!
I had a 1970 340 duster, and I loved it.
ROFL!!! "She's a centrifugal clutch" to random guy walking his dogs down the sidewalk.
😂🤷♂️.. he was confused
I have no interest in mechanics but these videos are awesome, I've learnt more about cars in a few hours of binge waching these videos than I have in 30 years of driving. 👍
Man this hit me right in the heart... my dad had a 74 Plymouth duster.. it was brown.. i got the car in my teens as my first..
It was a slant 6.. and stayed that way..
No mods it was all original..
When you said the duster you got wasn't running i said can't be..
Engine wise... You can't kill a duster..
Everything else will go.. but the engine will always be a runner..
And she started and ran ....
She's running!!!
Electrical seemed to be an issue with these dusters as they get older..
I had all kinds of electrical problems with my duster in the end just before i turned her in to the big car yard in car heaven.. i junked the car because the tranny went on it..
I actually have dreams i get the duster back and i drive her again..
My dad called our duster baby..
Because he babied her and she needed to be babied to keep it on the road..
Maybe with all that care and attention your duster needs.......
I imitate you whenever I am doing a project of any kind. My favorite, "get out of there" pops out all the time. You are so darn funny. Thank you for taking my mind off this upside down country. Good luck with Dusty, what a pos.
I second that name. Dusty us a fantastic choice.
When we gonna get a duster update? U know u wanna fix on her
"The good thing is Mopar parts are really, really, really, really expensive and nobody can afford them..."
✔✔✔🤣
I have a '74 Duster myself and she's quite expensive to restore
I got a 70 valiant and its almost not worth fixing because of expensive parts... im still gonn do it wife don like it but it looks reall nice when it hits the road.
RIGHT......he has me laughing so hard....my husband and I love this guy!!!
you guys say this, but (im in the uk) and ordered parts from the US to sort a hemi 300c that had mds failure (cam, tuner, lifters, delete kit, gaskets etc) they are a rare care here tho im sure common stateside.. My jaw hit the floor when i saw how cheap that shit was. I normally work on bmw/merc/VAG/Jag/landrover. so now im wondering, how dirt cheap is chebby stuff stateside? (we didnt get the LS here either)
rewatching these old ones for the 11dy-niner time.. you gotta make some merch with "GREAT more junk!" Id buy that RIGHT NOW.
It's Mopar, or No Car. Big fan of the Plymouth. Family had a Fury 3, back when I was still knee-high to a grasshopper. The idea of owning a Max Wedge car still tickles my wallet every now n then. Cheers!
"Am I missin' lugs? Probably should have checked." Been there.
Duster trivia: Ventilation comes from opening up a small door under the dash on the passenger's side. Behind that door is a small compartment that is large enough to fit a six pack of cold snacks. Keeps them at the proper temperature, especially in the cooler months.
I think my Satellite Sebring had the same factry option.
I remember that air vent.
A guy is in love with this channel
Thank You, I thought I was the only one who Bitched about tangled cords. Now I know we all feel the same...
I’ll be dipped! A guy needs to stock back up on his cold snacks for Friday!
haha, see you soon daron
Amateur.
you have the most positive attitude of anyone i have ever watched amazing, don't lose it,the comment about the riding mower guy made me laugh
"Lots of smoke from .... under the bonnet here!" This channel is so entertaining - I'm more of a bike than a car person but these junk starter-upper videos are addictive viewing!
thanks for watching
"The good thing is, Mopar parts are really really really really expensive, and no one can afford em!" LOL AMEN!!! hence why my 72 duster(here in Utah) is still in the building/collecting process :(
Neighbors: "He's out there in his driveway working on old junk again and talking to himself."
That’s funny!
@@mikee8304 Looks like "For Sale" signs in the front yard. Imagine!
"He's out there tickling on it again honey."
Wife: at least its better than what you do. Drinking beer and watching tv
How can 500 people not like this????! Love this guy!!!!
Wishing that I had a feller like you for a neighbor. Love the daily driver.
This guy talks a lot of shit about his cars and his skills but he truely is a great mechanic 🧰
Yep, he plays it down but really knows his stuff.
He’s a genius mechanic.
That's because he doesn't like bragging. Derek's a good dude.
@@mancini2468 It doesn’t take a genius to get a carbed car figured out 😂
His self deprecating schtick makes the video so entertaining…I’m not remotely mechanically inclined yet find myself watching hours at a time.👍🏼
I remember duster's and dart's had a air vent hatch we used to keep beers in. Stayed nice and cold in the Winter
Nice lol. I wish I had come up in that era
I had a couple of these in my youth (16 - 19) first was a slant 6, the other was the 318. 3 speed manual. Man, that thing screamed going down the freeway just to do 55! but yes, I remember those cavernous vents. I hid a box of 36 condoms in there. never used a one. Guess I was more sure of myself than I should have been. Pretty sure I forgot they were in there when I sold the car.
I grew up in Southern MN. My duster was same color. Mine had a lot of rust in the underbody. Black Vinyl interior was mint. It had so much potential. Wish I still had my 71.
Really enjoying these. I'm old enough to remember when Dusters were new!
They finally would not replace the starter on my sisters new Duster after they replaced it 3 times
I want to see that engine totally rebuilt. My grandpa had a Duster. I lost him a few months ago. Between the Agent Orange he got exposed to in Vietnam and him getting alzheimer's and forgetting who I was on bad days I know he is in a better place. He bought that Duster brand new off the showroom floor and it was his baby. I know you probably won't take this comment seriously because I am just some random guy on the interwebs but I want to donate the funds you need to rebuild the engine now. Come up with a number and reply to this and let me know and I will paypal you every dollar you need to make this happen. I know my grandpa would absolutely love this build. That's why I want to help. Have been a subscriber since your second video and I love the channel. Would love to make this happen quickly.
That's one hell'a awesome way to pay homage to your grandpa sir and I'm truly sorry for your loss. From what you said he is absolutely in a better place now and I'll wager smiling down on you from above.
I hope VGG responds and you're able to get things going, it will be awesome to watch knowing the why and how of it...
Awesome way to pay tribute to your grandpa! We ALL would love to see the finished Duster! Having said that the car should be name the GRUNT to honor all who served in that horrible war. Thanks
Vice Grip Garage Start a go fund me for this duster..I want to help to
I love that idea, your grandpa would be proud!
Yall wanna fund me and my 75 shitbox dart too,?
The first time I’ve seen genuinely fear in his eyes was when he took that duster for a ride lol
1970 Duster Slant6 with Front Bench Seat in Mettalic blue.. my first car in 1988 ... Bought this over a Mustang. Indestructible engine!

"Really nice cam in her" I about spit out my bourbon haha...that was a good one. Really enjoying all your uploads.
That car is "Bundy" Just like AL Bundy's and about the same shape he was in....All Hail BUNDY !!!!
a ride in the dreaded dodge
I was thinking the same thing lol
Bundy is a very fitting name, now he just has to put a few ladies shoes in the back seat an hang a pair over the rear view mirror!!! Al Bundy would be so proud 😁😂😁😂
No mam!!!!😝
lol, I'd name her "The Turd" if she was mine but "Al" or "Bundy" works also.
My first new car was the twin sister to this, a 1974 Dodge Dart Sport. Blue w/blue interior and white Vinyl top and manual sunroof . 318/automatic. The fold down rear seat allowed me to visit camp sites and sleep 2 comfortably. Ran and drove super. Trans went out at 34k miles, otherwise was perfect for 60k miles. Forced to trade in on a 1980 Ford Fairmont station wagon (total POS) due to my newborn son. I miss the Dart to this day.
“Dust Pan “. . I had a 71 and a 73 . I enjoyed this vid . I was there.
Haha, I had a 74 DustPan and a 75 Gold Dumpster
How about "Ruster"
I about spit water all over the screen. Singing "HEAD OUT ON THE HIGHWAY......oh shit......." That is EVERY wrench turner I have ever met!
I love those hyper Chrysler starters that's all my grandpa had those Dodgers and Chryslers reminds me of that
“Feather duster.” Don’t change the timing chain, you’ll mess up the variable valve timing! Lol
is the hood aluminum????
I live in Canada and I have an 87 ramcharger with a 318 hahaha. I’m so glad I know how many waffles a 318 comes too
A feller learned back in the way back (80's), that Mopar parts are always more expensive.
That's how the Chrysler Corp was able to keep afloat all those years. Put out cool-looking cars with big engines, haphazard engineering and little to non-existant quality control and wait for the deluge of orders for parts to fix 'em up.
They are more expensive because of the fact that people junked them more because they weren't a Chevy or a Ford and better quality than the compation and people that restore them have to more time into getting parts also
@@spikebebop9070 So what did they do? They went and bought another low rent car company in AMC, back in 83. Just so they could have the Jeep brand. The 4.0L that they put in Jeeps for years, was originally the AMC 258 cid.
