Hey guys! I was unable to resist a trip to the GCFCE this week to check out this fantastic, all-original 1975 Dodge D100 with only 22000 miles on it! One owner, until Agent 100013 bought it last week, and Agent 7678 pestered him relentlessly until he would sell it to him! We also unloaded the 1972 Plymouth Fury Sport Suburban, and then, the long-overdue conclusion of Agent 7889's Rocky-Mountain Saab-Salvage mission, featuring a look at some pretty impressive Volkswagens! Oh! I do not have a Telegram account or any bullshit contest going! Do not respond to any of these "contest winner" replies; they are a scam! Thanks to everyone who subscribed to our channel here, and thanks also for all of your "likes" and comments!

D100 Treasure ...... outstanding , Stephen rowing 2nd and first in the Econoline climing up there with major goodies On that wagon with stuck 360, remove plugs , carefully work a prybar on the flexplate / flywheel , maybe she budge
Awesome D100! Incredible find. It would have been a tragedy if someone sent it to the crusher. On the Fury wagon, I'm curious if you pulled the plugs out before trying to turn it over? I wonder if you're not fighting a hydro lock issue with a cylinder full of oil.
That D 100 is a unicorn, they rusted out even in the Middle East. I grew up in Israel and at one point those were the most popular pickup on the market due to being cheaper than the rest (they were assembled locally by Automotive Industries of Upper Nazareth so were subject to lesser tax and custom duty than the fully imported GM/Ford equivalents) but they're nowadays practically extinct. Oh: ours were 90% slant six equipped and did not even have chrome parts. You could have had any color you wanted as long as it was light blue or light yellow.
I am proud to be a part of the Sad Bastard's Club. That Dodge is a find of a lifetime. The engine in the wagon may come free after extended soaking. I wouldn't give up on it yet. You have enough great friends to help out. Nice Saab story. I love those cars. My friend and I had a great time pulling up to a gas pump, putting oil in the tank and watching the reactions to the "stupid females" putting oil in the gas tank. Thanks for the awesome entertainment. Cheers!
I showed my wife, who is not impressed by anything automotive, the before and after on the Fury. As well as some of the more critical episodes. A concert pianist, she recognizes a fellow master of a different craft and sends her regards and admiration.
Tell Steven I think he's got me beat for hauling, I love the practicality of this crazy bunch but a fully packed Econoline 3 on the column, hauling a trailer with a Saab in it over mountains, WHEW, my biggest lack of good judgement was towing a vw bus with a pinto wagon for a 2 hour drive, it was a 67 square louvre windows, 12 volt, camper top, I was pulling in the pinto, my buddy was behind in the bus on a tow chain, popping the clutch to see if it would catch, we did a few crazy things but no genny creme till we got it home, we both inspired each other to push a bit back then both still in HS, but up for adventure, especially if it meant our favorite cars, or cheap beaters
“I feel good,”watching Cold War Motors…”I feel good,” watching Scott, Dean and the boys…. Another banner episode-the Dodge 100 was the find of the Plain Jane century-holy moly 22,000 miles: NUTS! 👏🏻❤️🔧✌🏻
The green markers could be designating a volunteer fire fighter. They have green lights in Ontario for that purpose. They are used on the way to a fire.
Great show this week. Having grown up in Sweden in the sixties, and now living in France since 18 years, it touches my heart to see Steven saving old SAAB's and your awn interest in keeping an old R5 alive and kicking. Let the good times roll Gentlemen.
That truck brings back so many memories my uncle got a deal on 2 1975 dodge d100s. The dealer couldnt sell them due to the colour. Orange with white tops. Exact as these slant6 4 spd. Extreme to the cheaped over interior No tunes,no time keeper,no tach,rubber mat flooring. Chromeless front window No rear bumper Dog dish caps. He got the pair for 3200.march 1976 ..lol Great truck...great mopar. Congrats......
What a treat with that 1975 Dodge truck. I worked on many of those when I worked in the dealer in 1975. We got a bunch of those stripper slant 6-4 speed trucks. One of my duty's was to install a cheat radio and put on vinyl side moldings. Talk about nostalgia !
The "Le Car" gets "le scoop"! Ah yes, Renault... the Western world's response to Yugo and the automotive question that was never asked. Still love the channel though and look forward to every new video. Give Frankers an extra hug for me!
Scott: Something tells me you couldn't resist a Saturday afternoon ride in the Fury and that would explain the late post... We understand completely! 😎
Scott was great seeing you having a nice ride in the T, I like how you enjoy some of the more simple or off the wall and base cars, like the T, the Frasier, the 59 Biscayne, and the same year Buicks, Pontiacs, and be fun to see if you some Fords of that vintage, and some VWs, and if you find a 73 3spd Gremlin, I'll drive it home, had one I got when I was buying parts for another more beaten up one, and asked the guy about parts and he said I could have that one which was fairly nicer for $50 and mine and I could have some parts, that little beast could climb hills like nothing and heat that could roast you without the blower on, I have a soft spot gremlins and hornets, not sure if my heart or is it my head
as a fan of old wagons ... I know, it's a sickness,.. I would like to see the 72 wagon up and running. keep up the good stuff. I really appreciate your allowing me to tag along.
a dream truck to me, I love this dodge slant six and I love wagons so this episode more than rocks! My 1st car still is my 1968 VW so seeing more classic VWs make my day! Thanks for years of fun watching you guys do what I wish I could do.
Saturday night at the compound. High Mileage road trips, low mileage trucks, a early visit to the place that is sure to become known as the Fury House, where Fury's go to stud and live their best life lol. Thanks for the invite
That D100 is going to be a real beauty when it has completed its Level II (clay bar & polish) tidy. Maybe the GCFCE will find a wreck with a running big block engine, and that could be how the Fury Sport Suburban is running again. And another vote for the very cool long shadow silhouette of the Model T as it was rolling along. And Steven's video was very entertaining and well done. The Renault will look even better with the new rims. And the opening model car carnage & wreckage sequence seemed to focus on a Dodge A100 van. Could it be that a real one will show up at the CWM compound or the GCFCE?
Have an agent party to get 'er unstuck? That would be fun! The shot of the Model T silhouette driving is EXACTLY how it would have been 95 yrs ago. Like being a time traveler. Priceless! Many thanks to you and the cast for the wonderful content every week.
What an amazing find in that D100 pickup! What's so unusual is it sat outside among trees for so long and still undamaged and remarkably preserved. Definitely check back often with him for the clean-out/clean-up and first start! What a "time warp" experience. And the Saab procurement trip was most interesting, seeing the mountain climb of the encumbered van. Loved seeing those pristine classic VWs. Got my first license in my dad's new 62 Karman Ghia. Did the heart good to see one in such beautiful shape. The green VW beetle is the same color of my 56 oval window I exterior restored about 82 and sold to a local collector. It's still out in the county somewhere. Can't beat old VWs for simplicity. And era never to be seen again. Need to see the R5 with all the "performance" parts added on! My first inclination about your 72 Plymouth Sport Suburban is to do some engine "surgery" to find out just why it's stuck. If it's going to sit the Winter, just pour more Mystery Oil in all cylinders, fill them up and let them soak. Maybe do a quick bore scope view to make sure none are full of water and let the oil soak. Pull the heads if necessary and see what's got her locked up. More soaking the Winter just might convince her to loosen up and allow you to keep her original. Always looking forward to next week.😉👍
HEY!!! Franker's is jumping for joy!!!! She has a new hairstyle!!!! Scott, I'm always up for a ride in the country up in your neck of the woods!!!! That pickup truck is CLEAN !!! Level one tidy achieved!!! That is a large pad!! They're going to need a paging system in there!!
Great episode ! When I was 13 years old. My history teacher had a brand new green 1972 plymouth surbaban station wagon. One day he asked me to get something from it. He gave me the keys; I felt like the big man in town! Great memories.
When I was a senior in high school my study hall teacher gave me the keys to his new Chevy Beauville van and wanted me to move it to a different spot in the parking lot,had the same feeling that you did☺️
the clip of the old T and its shadow in the autumn sunshine was something else! Great result on the 75 dodge, can't wait to see it polished up. Agent 7889s road trip was cool, nice to see your beautiful country, even for a wee bit. Definitely fit all those R5 accessories! Extra points for Volkswagen content too!
Cool to see that Steven was out in my part of the world to retrieve more Saab stuff. Looks like he timed his trip to catch the only rain we have had in months lol. The hill on the coq isn’t too bad but I guess trying to drag 10k lbs up it with a 300/3spd van is definitely not ideal 😂
As always you come through at the right time. I just seen that your power went out and you had to reupload it was just saying I could wait while longer glad to know everything's okay was getting a little worried there that was going to miss my favorite Automotive content there is. And congratulations on the car it is sweet just rewatch the video of you taking it out showing the car to the original owners kin.
Great save of that old pickup. Factory crayon marking still clearly visible on the frame rail! They oughta leave the lumber in the grille just the way it is as proof of where it came from. Your shots of the shadow of the Model T skimming across the pucker brush are wonderful, Scott! Epic drive back from Vancouver with all that weight behind a six.
Hey, Scott! another great episode on Saturday! My belated response is due to vaccine reactions 'nuff said. Loved the T ride w/silhouette T caused shadows running along an autumnal farm-scape followed by a short but sweet off-road adventure! And OMG that base Dodge in untrammeled 22,000 mile nick was an eye popping mind blower! My suggestion for tree branch extrication would be be riddling it with a small diameter hole saw until you could collapse it for extraction. I must be among the sad bastards 'cause I've always loved base model vehicles. My mom bought a brand new 62 two dr base slant 6 Plymouth w/am only radio and nothing ever wore out, despite my little brother street racing the sucker on windy country roads after swapping in heavy Dodge torsion + antisway bars! Those slants hurt Chrysler because they never broke down! So we return to the digs to uneventfully unload the 72 Sport Suburban Fury. (If you can find one throw a 440 with a six-pack into that little honey)! Though she won't metaphorically fly like the T but, she should be pretty swift! Those optional step plates and grab handles might have been added to aid and abet loading and unloading the cargo area? Just a thought. Tom was all over the Fury wagon unload and even stowed the ramps! Good to have neighbors like him! OK plenty of action but it ain't over yet. Steven has to climb the Rockies to rescue a 68 Saab 2 stroke retro-fit a somewhat weight reduced but pretty solid unit. The climb back east taxed the Ford 6 but he must have a 220 'cause a 300 would have pulled those climbs in 3rd! Made it nevertheless with a side trip visit with Russ + Don to view some very cherry VWs! But it still ain't over. Steven stopped in Vancouver (one of my fav cities) to pick bits up from Bruce who slipped in some treasures for the R5!! Rear window wiper! Sport wheels! fresh-air scoop! bonnet latch! Holy Moses sandals! Once again Imogene + Sid are being challenged! You and the agents produced one hell-of-a Show of Shows this week! Thanks!
Oh My God, that was a lot to ask of that 300 six! So much to be jealous of in this one Scott. Yeah, Im a sad Bastard too. I love the little Dodge, and also Russ's VW collecton! Cheers to you and the agents! Todd Konoske the retired trucker.
When I was a teenager, one of my neighbors had a truck like this one, except his was more of an olive green. His hood ornament was the bulldog from a wrecked 1959 Mack truck. I tried buying that thing from him so many times while I was still in school.
Love the Dodge base model farm truck. Why someone just parked it up is a real mystery, but it's survival in that condition is nothing short of a miracle. Have a friend over here with an immaculate V4 SAAB and he still uses it as a daily! Great episode as always and I think a big block is the way to go with the Fury estate. Looking forward to receiving my T shirt as the completion of the Fury project is worthy of commemoration! Never have I enjoyed such an amazing journey of restoration and I have been around the classic car scene in the UK for many years! Best wishes to you Scott,Frankers and all the agents from this side of the pond!
SO much going on in this one! Stephen's slog up the grade brought me back to my Merc 240D days - Never again! Those shadow shots from the T are pure art. And the Dodge half ton is just a find that never happens. What? How? I recommend leaving a bit of the tree in the grille, sanded and spar varnished.
Delightful in every way! Yet another CWM winner. Dear, sweet Frankers! That’s a great dance routine for openers, go for it baby yea! That’s a fine episode, right down to you opening Bruce’s Christmas pressies to you Scott … that scoop, what a win 🏆 Thank you all you’ve made my weekend again.
Lovely old pick up. Amazing condition for being left out under trees. The 72 Sport Suburban. Same colour as mine. My 400 had a rod through it so now has a steel crank 440. Go the big block. The footage looking out of the Econoline windscreen going over the mountains was fantastic. I could have watched a full video on that road trip. The fact the six was struggling up the hill reminded me of Dennis Weaver in Duel. I thought of Dennis. Why didn’t you pop for the V8 man?
The intro wreck, Frankers, Model T drive, a Dodge truck that could have come from a used car lot in 1977 (minus the added tree accessories), very enjoyable first 10 minutes! Don't recall ever seeing a Sport Suburban. That front end is impressive and aggressive. A big block is what it needs. Western Canada is so gigantically beautiful. I envy Steven and thanks for recording your adventure! I'm Saab ignorant, but that car looks like a fine candidate for restoration. This is a 10 out of 10 presentation.
Proud member of the Sad Bastard club, I'm a big fan of the Base. That D100 is off the charts, I love it! The phone call on the concrete pad was fuckin great 🤣 I do the same thing with Mustangs, "We unloaded the Plymouth, well that really doesn't narrow it down..." LOL I gotta say, a big block in that Suburban would really make it perfect in my opinion. Nothing like a big old wagon with too much torque for it's own good. I'd hate to see the Newport get pulled apart. I almost want to come buy that thing from you to clean up for a daily driver, I'm down in Idaho not too terribly far. As if I need more cars. Thanks for the episode Scott, really enjoyed it!
Congrat's to all of you guys turning up all of that Automotive Gold!!! Love those shots out the passenger window of the "T"!! That door is exactly the same door that was used on the 29 closed cab pickups like mine!! That's my new "focus" now!! Trying to "outlive" that project so I can experience driving that toy!! Bottom line, great show Scott!! Nice to see finding all the precious bits they need to show all the DigiHeads the REAL "priceless" AUTOMOTIVE ART!!!
As the owner of a civilian 1979 Dodge St. Regis, I'd definitely consider myself a member of the Mopar Sad Bastard Club. lol. Absolutely love both the D100 rescue and whatever it takes to put that sweet '72 Custom Suburban back on the road.
Hello to all, Great video, what a time capsule D-100 had me Drooling. As a sick Fuc myself, Ford Guy looking at a 1967 Reneault Caravelle Conv. H/top...WHY? Cheers!
Hi there! I really enjoyed the shadow shots of the T going along the road! That is a nice truck Dan added to his fleet, another time capsule. Very nice segue to Steven's Saab adventure. I'm glad the noisy bearing didn't grenade while the van was dragging all that tonnage. I had an input bearing fail in a Saginaw 3 speed in a rusty C10 I had once, not a fun repair. Nice score with the Le Misc box & wheels! Yes, be patient on sorting out the engine for the wagon. I'm sure a low miles 440 & 727 could be found in a worthless RV for less than scrap price. Take care!
A motorhome engine and transmission? Now that's thinkin'! RVs don't usually have high miles accumulated, and the bodies and everything attached to them go downhill steadily when not used/maintained, which is common.
Cheers Scott, Frankers and the Agents.- very entertaining installment! The D100 is sick - can’t wait to see it after a Level 3 Tidy! That drive up the Rockies in the ever slowing Econoline gave me flashbacks of my own foot to the floor drive thru Death Valley in a rented Chevette many years ago…. You’ve got a C Body conundrum - if I had to choose between a running, plated ‘72 Sport Suburban or a Newport in the same condition I’d take the wagon hands down. That said, I don’t think I could sacrifice the plated Newport to get the Suburban road worthy; a trashed 300 or Imperial with a 440 will turn up. Until next week, all the best from Massachusetts!
That red Dodge is REALLY cherry! One helluva catch; it is really gonna shine up beautifully. The '72 Plymouth? I like your wait-and-see-what-develops approach, as your team always seems to come up with excellent solutions. What I do not wish to see is perfectly running cars get cannibalized for another - keep your fleet intact. NICE collection of VW's! That pickup was the belle of the episode ball!!! Cheers!
Another fantastic video Scott! The lengths you and the Agents go to to save yet another one from the crusher! Saving the 75 Dodge pickup. Kyle and the boys knocked it out of the park! Steven going up the mountain, loaded to the gills. The 300 may have been slow, but ,it made it! Bruce coming through in the clutch. Kool stuff! You and Dean at the end. To much! What a way to end a Saturday after noon!
Good to see an old Dodge being saved, and the SAAB too. Still have major mascot envy (Model T), think I need something like that T for pottering duties 👍
Most likely it was a farm truck from new and only driven into town once in awhile. Most of those kind of trucks get pressed into regular service by other family members at some point but this one just got parked instead. Amazing condition for something that's been outside most of its life.
The red D100 is a terrific find + would be extremely practical for transporting parts and goodies for the 3 1972 Fuselage cars which you are so longing to restore ☺
That trip over the mountain reminded me of towing a 12 foot pop-up trailer over the Appalachian Mountains in a 4-cylinder Volvo with 5 people and a dog inside.
Dan, a slant six and a 4 speed, I have truck envy, something that cleans up ok and not having to see if it's got a muffler or place to hold it, seriously everything from a dependable base vehicle of it's day and all you need, except for a radio, I always had an am/fm cassette player, usually saved from the last vehicle, I do mostly Fords now and keep the factory cd players, nothing like a ranger 4cy 5spd, rubber floor cover and no power steering, my swore someone took it out, but looking from underneath it never was there, it steers easy over 5mph, I put 80,000 on it and still have it, it's waiting for replacement clutch and transmission, I think the synchros went out and I've got another ranger donor waiting, spring and summer fun. Take care of it, use it and enjoy it, also for the blk that isn't rust, use cleanser, a good way to get out the deeper stuff
What a great episode! ❤ Loved the nail-biting tension in the scene with Steven going up the mountain. Can’t wait to see those sweet, sweet wheels on the R5.
Hi Scott,,,good score on the wagon. It be a shame to use the motor out of a driving car. I found two old motorhomes with running 440's, one at auction for $250 & the other one the owner drove to my place i gave him $500. Maybe look for old campers for a engine, good luck
Such superb visuals; Frankers’ introductory prance; the T’s road shadow that was the stuff of dream sequence; and the continuing magnificence of Western Canada’s landscape as captured by Stephen on his heroic Saab excursion. Thank you & I vote for the 440 drop into the Suburban wagon, providing its practical and economically feasible with available time/loonie resources.😅
Great video, Scott!! The truck is MINT!! Wow. 22k miles. Unreal. The clean up was way cool!! Love the looks of that wagon!! She'll be a great project as well!! Can't believe Andy brought that Saab all the way back towed behind there van. Can't believe how much stuff he managed to bring back IN the van, ON the trailer and IN the car!! CRAZY!!! The scoop was awesome!! LOL. Peace and love from Michigan!!
I had a old truck like that years ago but was a old worn out state highway model. It was originally yellow in color with a light blue on top, with a three on the tree. The shifter linkage was worn out, but I still got a lot of good out of it. It had a stop sign for a floor pan... Lots of good memories. Dan will love the old red beast for sure.
Oh wow I love the rear tires on that Dodge! Enjoyed agent 7889's Saab Story too with his entry into the fiercely competetive Econoline hill climb challenge. Also I think that scoop needs to go on the R5 asap!
My buddies dad had a car parts business years ago and there shop truck was an 84 Dodge half ton with the 225ci truck had 600,000+ kilometers on it when it finally spun a bearing.
Gave up and cooked dinner.Set down to find I was 4 mins late which was perfect.You and Dean opening and closing the show is entree and ice-cream to it.The truck's just 'Wow'! The Saab story(pun included) and the van struggle were engrossing.Loved the VW's.Friend had an almost identical VW Camper w/28K miles and took a corner too fast ending it.The Renault bling is Awesome.Cheers !
Scott, I have no doubt that you have motivated a decent number of people to take on some rather daunting projects.I Before viewing this channel, I did bodywork out of necessity. I've now learned to enjoy it (and have zero idea how I can lol)! Excellent job. I do vintage BMW repair/restoration professionally, so enjoyed the e30 content from a couple of weeks ago as well :) (I have a couple of the non-M variety)
Unbelievable find! look at the condition of those floor pedals holy shit my mind is blown away! amazing! truly amazing. know wonder their so excited, and rightly so. Wow! 72 Plymouth you definitely got lots of good descent parts to work with there, from what you've shown, and yeah definitely go with a big block. Well looks like Russ and Don has set the perfect example of what can be obtained with just a little bit of passion, all you need is a small garage and willingness, and a bit of labor, all things are possible. That's one nice Saab they did a good job on that restoration by the looks of it. And they have a really nice, nice, little collection.
Nice find on the D100👍bet that's going to clean up good. I think you should put a big block in the wagon, that car is so cool. Can't wait to see it get worked on. Cheers Scott
72 Fury are so rare. Even if you swap engines you can revert it later. I' d save every remaining full size cars (even the Newport ) because they pretty much all disapeared, and will not be produced again, and that what makes their so great value, also with their confortable ride, space, look, reliability, endurance, ease of repair, huge comodding potential, etc ...
Incredible; finally got time to watch this, was interesting seeing Stephen flog that poor van over the Coq, recognized exactly where he was and how much fun that hill is, I'm really surprised that poor van actually made it. The Electra doesn't even break a sweat on those sections and it would easily out accelerate the Eurotrash that wanted to race, it accelerates easily going up hill, but they'd catch me in the corners though, but it makes for a fun drive when you have the power, - must be hairy when you don't. That pickup is incredible; - can't wait to see the cleaned up and running product, a great score for sure, proves that they're still "out there" if you have time to look. Great VW collection, there are some neat cars on the Island. Also looking forward to the "raced-out" Renault; - for something that was virtually ignored back in the day, those are neat cars!
I just realized that Renault has only 3 lug nuts per wheel, wow. Reminds me of an old joke: A man got a flat tire next to an insane asylum and while changing his tire out, he accidentally stepped on the wheel cover with his lug nuts in it and they went flying off over the embankment never to be seen again. A patient of the asylum was watching all of this from over the wall and heard the man mutter, "Now what am I going to do?" The patient spoke up saying "Why don't you take a lug nut from the other three wheels and that will get you on the road again."........The driver says "Gosh, that's a great idea, why are you even in this place anyway?".....The patient replied, "I may be crazy but I'm not stupid."
How do you not covet thy neighbor's possessions? Bless me father, for I..,.You each get your turn,eventually...God willing.. An amazing find. Those brothers are vintage car sleuths. Your son loves his acquisition adventures like you. A chip off the old block. What fun! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Matthew... Thanks for the note! Stephen isn't my son though; he just saw me driving the Citroen one day and was happy to have somewhere to hang around where all they did was talk about and work on cars...Cheers!
I am catching up on the vids, Scott, so forgive me…..love the Sport Suburban! I’d sacrifice the Newport driveline! I grew up in a 3 row ‘72 T&C that my mom had! Green, wood, on green interior! I used to get sick in that 3rd row facing backwards! She traded it in on a new ‘76 Toyota Corona wagon during the gas crisis!
Thanks for another great upload that helps fuel our car craze sickness for another week. This week had it all. Big block for the wagon is definitely my choice for that jewel. You offer up such a super buffet of projects that we never know which road that we are going down next. That’s cool though, I have the CWM sickness as well. 👍
Hey guys! I was unable to resist a trip to the GCFCE this week to check out this fantastic, all-original 1975 Dodge D100 with only 22000 miles on it! One owner, until Agent 100013 bought it last week, and Agent 7678 pestered him relentlessly until he would sell it to him! We also unloaded the 1972 Plymouth Fury Sport Suburban, and then, the long-overdue conclusion of Agent 7889's Rocky-Mountain Saab-Salvage mission, featuring a look at some pretty impressive Volkswagens!

D100 Treasure ...... outstanding ,
Stephen rowing 2nd and first in the Econoline climing up there with major goodies
On that wagon with stuck 360, remove plugs , carefully work a prybar
on the flexplate / flywheel , maybe she budge
Those Dodge pickups from the 70's were usually rusted out by 1980 in Virginia. Can't wait to see it roadworthy.
Awesome D100! Incredible find. It would have been a tragedy if someone sent it to the crusher.
On the Fury wagon, I'm curious if you pulled the plugs out before trying to turn it over? I wonder if you're not fighting a hydro lock issue with a cylinder full of oil.
Those Renault wheels were becoming rare thirty years ago and now look at you! Ya black belt...
That D 100 is a unicorn, they rusted out even in the Middle East. I grew up in Israel and at one point those were the most popular pickup on the market due to being cheaper than the rest (they were assembled locally by Automotive Industries of Upper Nazareth so were subject to lesser tax and custom duty than the fully imported GM/Ford equivalents) but they're nowadays practically extinct. Oh: ours were 90% slant six equipped and did not even have chrome parts. You could have had any color you wanted as long as it was light blue or light yellow.
The silhouette shot of the T in shadow was fantastic! 🤘🤘🤘
Very cinematic.
I agree with you 100%.
Art in motion.
I admit I teared up a bit. It was fabulous.
I am proud to be a part of the Sad Bastard's Club. That Dodge is a find of a lifetime. The engine in the wagon may come free after extended soaking. I wouldn't give up on it yet. You have enough great friends to help out. Nice Saab story. I love those cars. My friend and I had a great time pulling up to a gas pump, putting oil in the tank and watching the reactions to the "stupid females" putting oil in the gas tank. Thanks for the awesome entertainment. Cheers!
I showed my wife, who is not impressed by anything automotive, the before and after on the Fury. As well as some of the more critical episodes. A concert pianist, she recognizes a fellow master of a different craft and sends her regards and admiration.
She's only in it for Frankers.
That's awesome! She's a keeper!
@@redrider7730 Especially when you CAN'T do it with pianos!
The shadow of the 'T' was so cool to see👍.
What a shame it would be to destroy the 1972 Newport, Scott.
Tell Steven I think he's got me beat for hauling, I love the practicality of this crazy bunch but a fully packed Econoline 3 on the column, hauling a trailer with a Saab in it over mountains, WHEW, my biggest lack of good judgement was towing a vw bus with a pinto wagon for a 2 hour drive, it was a 67 square louvre windows, 12 volt, camper top, I was pulling in the pinto, my buddy was behind in the bus on a tow chain, popping the clutch to see if it would catch, we did a few crazy things but no genny creme till we got it home, we both inspired each other to push a bit back then both still in HS, but up for adventure, especially if it meant our favorite cars, or cheap beaters
It's downright shocking how long the Dodge Ram maintained the same body style. That truck is a gem!
“I feel good,”watching Cold War Motors…”I feel good,” watching Scott, Dean and the boys…. Another banner episode-the Dodge 100 was the find of the Plain Jane century-holy moly 22,000 miles: NUTS! 👏🏻❤️🔧✌🏻
What a time capsule, and not ruined by mice absolutely amazing
The green markers could be designating a volunteer fire fighter. They have green lights in Ontario for that purpose. They are used on the way to a fire.
I was thinking that too, and it is fire truck red!
Makes sense now but what a beauty
Great show this week. Having grown up in Sweden in the sixties, and now living in France since 18 years, it touches my heart to see Steven saving old SAAB's and your awn interest in keeping an old R5 alive and kicking. Let the good times roll Gentlemen.
That truck brings back so many memories my uncle got a deal on 2 1975 dodge d100s.
The dealer couldnt sell them due to the colour. Orange with white tops.
Exact as these slant6 4 spd.
Extreme to the cheaped over interior
No tunes,no time keeper,no tach,rubber mat flooring.
Chromeless front window
No rear bumper
Dog dish caps.
He got the pair for 3200.march 1976 ..lol
Great truck...great mopar.
Congrats......
What a treat with that 1975 Dodge truck. I worked on many of those when I worked in the dealer in 1975. We got a bunch of those stripper slant 6-4 speed trucks. One of my duty's was to install a cheat radio and put on vinyl side moldings. Talk about nostalgia !
Lucky you got to work on them in the dealer that at times was probably a dream job
Turning up to a project prospect in a Model-T you restored yourself: priceless. Surreal, dude. You're living the life.
Yes he is
@@markusa5521 So am I.
Happy to be a "Sad Bastard"!
One in a million find with that Dodge pickup!
Id say go for the 440 option in the suburban.
:)
The "Le Car" gets "le scoop"! Ah yes, Renault... the Western world's response to Yugo and the automotive question that was never asked. Still love the channel though and look forward to every new video. Give Frankers an extra hug for me!
One is never disappointed after a visit to Cold War Motors. Thanks again for having us over.
Scott: Something tells me you couldn't resist a Saturday afternoon ride in the Fury and that would explain the late post... We understand completely! 😎
Scott was great seeing you having a nice ride in the T, I like how you enjoy some of the more simple or off the wall and base cars, like the T, the Frasier, the 59 Biscayne, and the same year Buicks, Pontiacs, and be fun to see if you some Fords of that vintage, and some VWs, and if you find a 73 3spd Gremlin, I'll drive it home, had one I got when I was buying parts for another more beaten up one, and asked the guy about parts and he said I could have that one which was fairly nicer for $50 and mine and I could have some parts, that little beast could climb hills like nothing and heat that could roast you without the blower on, I have a soft spot gremlins and hornets, not sure if my heart or is it my head
as a fan of old wagons ... I know, it's a sickness,.. I would like to see the 72 wagon up and running. keep up the good stuff. I really appreciate your allowing me to tag along.
F' Yeah, love my wagons" Best invention ever...
Mine's a '63 Bel-air, 4-door, 9-passenger! Gets a ton of attention every time I gas up!
That 75 Dodge is a sweet find! Cheers!
a dream truck to me, I love this dodge slant six and I love wagons so this episode more than rocks! My 1st car still is my 1968 VW so seeing more classic VWs make my day! Thanks for years of fun watching you guys do what I wish I could do.
Really liked that cab view from Stephen'S Econoline..
Hey buddy! Glad you liked it; Stephen did a great job documenting his road trip...Cheers!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, CANADA! (OURS IS THE LAST THURSDAY IN NOVEMBER, LOTS OF TURKEY AND FOOTBALL!).
Saturday night at the compound. High Mileage road trips, low mileage trucks, a early visit to the place that is sure to become known as the Fury House, where Fury's go to stud and live their best life lol. Thanks for the invite
That D100 is going to be a real beauty when it has completed its Level II (clay bar & polish) tidy. Maybe the GCFCE will find a wreck with a running big block engine, and that could be how the Fury Sport Suburban is running again. And another vote for the very cool long shadow silhouette of the Model T as it was rolling along. And Steven's video was very entertaining and well done. The Renault will look even better with the new rims. And the opening model car carnage & wreckage sequence seemed to focus on a Dodge A100 van. Could it be that a real one will show up at the CWM compound or the GCFCE?
Have an agent party to get 'er unstuck? That would be fun!
The shot of the Model T silhouette driving is EXACTLY how it would have been 95 yrs ago.
Like being a time traveler. Priceless!
Many thanks to you and the cast for the wonderful content every week.
What an amazing find in that D100 pickup! What's so unusual is it sat outside among trees for so long and still undamaged and remarkably preserved. Definitely check back often with him for the clean-out/clean-up and first start! What a "time warp" experience. And the Saab procurement trip was most interesting, seeing the mountain climb of the encumbered van. Loved seeing those pristine classic VWs. Got my first license in my dad's new 62 Karman Ghia. Did the heart good to see one in such beautiful shape. The green VW beetle is the same color of my 56 oval window I exterior restored about 82 and sold to a local collector. It's still out in the county somewhere. Can't beat old VWs for simplicity. And era never to be seen again. Need to see the R5 with all the "performance" parts added on! My first inclination about your 72 Plymouth Sport Suburban is to do some engine "surgery" to find out just why it's stuck. If it's going to sit the Winter, just pour more Mystery Oil in all cylinders, fill them up and let them soak. Maybe do a quick bore scope view to make sure none are full of water and let the oil soak. Pull the heads if necessary and see what's got her locked up. More soaking the Winter just might convince her to loosen up and allow you to keep her original. Always looking forward to next week.😉👍
HEY!!! Franker's is jumping for joy!!!! She has a new hairstyle!!!!
Scott, I'm always up for a ride in the country up in your neck of the woods!!!!
That pickup truck is CLEAN !!!
Level one tidy achieved!!!
That is a large pad!! They're going to need a paging system in there!!
That Dodge! What a fantastic survivor. And I'm pretty sure you can see the curvature of the Earth across that concrete pad! Excellent work guys.
I loved the hill climbing part of the video. The mild-mannered Ford six knuckling down to some hard work, and doing ok !!
Great episode ! When I was 13 years old. My history teacher had a brand new green 1972 plymouth surbaban station wagon. One day he asked me to get something from it. He gave me the keys; I felt like the big man in town! Great memories.
When I was a senior in high school my study hall teacher gave me the keys to his new Chevy Beauville van and wanted me to move it to a different spot in the parking lot,had the same feeling that you did☺️
the clip of the old T and its shadow in the autumn sunshine was something else!
Great result on the 75 dodge, can't wait to see it polished up.
Agent 7889s road trip was cool, nice to see your beautiful country, even for a wee bit.
Definitely fit all those R5 accessories!
Extra points for Volkswagen content too!
I love the "Sad Bastards Motor Club", keep bringing more.
This needs to be a decal and t-shirt 😂
@@nitcat1 I would buy one!
Cool to see that Steven was out in my part of the world to retrieve more Saab stuff. Looks like he timed his trip to catch the only rain we have had in months lol. The hill on the coq isn’t too bad but I guess trying to drag 10k lbs up it with a 300/3spd van is definitely not ideal 😂
Nice old Dodge truck Dan. 👍✌ looking forward to seeing more. ❤ cheers everyone.
As always you come through at the right time. I just seen that your power went out and you had to reupload it was just saying I could wait while longer glad to know everything's okay was getting a little worried there that was going to miss my favorite Automotive content there is. And congratulations on the car it is sweet just rewatch the video of you taking it out showing the car to the original owners kin.
Russ’s collection is amazing. He’s a great friend too
Great save of that old pickup. Factory crayon marking still clearly visible on the frame rail! They oughta leave the lumber in the grille just the way it is as proof of where it came from. Your shots of the shadow of the Model T skimming across the pucker brush are wonderful, Scott! Epic drive back from Vancouver with all that weight behind a six.
"Those are neighbors lawn rippers...." Or as I used to call it, Lawn Jobs! Love the one-liners!
Hey, Scott! another great episode on Saturday! My belated response is due to vaccine reactions 'nuff said. Loved the T ride w/silhouette T caused shadows running along an autumnal farm-scape followed by a short but sweet off-road adventure! And OMG that base Dodge in untrammeled 22,000 mile nick was an eye popping mind blower! My suggestion for tree branch extrication would be be riddling it with a small diameter hole saw until you could collapse it for extraction. I must be among the sad bastards 'cause I've always loved base model vehicles. My mom bought a brand new 62 two dr base slant 6 Plymouth w/am only radio and nothing ever wore out, despite my little brother street racing the sucker on windy country roads after swapping in heavy Dodge torsion + antisway bars! Those slants hurt Chrysler because they never broke down! So we return to the digs to uneventfully unload the 72 Sport Suburban Fury. (If you can find one throw a 440 with a six-pack into that little honey)! Though she won't metaphorically fly like the T but, she should be pretty swift! Those optional step plates and grab handles might have been added to aid and abet loading and unloading the cargo area? Just a thought. Tom was all over the Fury wagon unload and even stowed the ramps! Good to have neighbors like him! OK plenty of action but it ain't over yet. Steven has to climb the Rockies to rescue a 68 Saab 2 stroke retro-fit a somewhat weight reduced but pretty solid unit. The climb back east taxed the Ford 6 but he must have a 220 'cause a 300 would have pulled those climbs in 3rd! Made it nevertheless with a side trip visit with Russ + Don to view some very cherry VWs! But it still ain't over. Steven stopped in Vancouver (one of my fav cities) to pick bits up from Bruce who slipped in some treasures for the R5!! Rear window wiper! Sport wheels! fresh-air scoop! bonnet latch! Holy Moses sandals! Once again Imogene + Sid are being challenged! You and the agents produced one hell-of-a Show of Shows this week! Thanks!
Oh My God, that was a lot to ask of that 300 six! So much to be jealous of in this one Scott. Yeah, Im a sad Bastard too. I love the little Dodge, and also Russ's VW collecton! Cheers to you and the agents! Todd Konoske the retired trucker.
That was a epic drive over the mountains by Steven!!
Hey scott, love the channel there's always something educational. With a twist of comedy. Definitely think the wagon should get a 440. God bless
Fantastic edition Scott...Steven did a great video...Just plain enjoyable...
When I was a teenager, one of my neighbors had a truck like this one, except his was more of an olive green. His hood ornament was the bulldog from a wrecked 1959 Mack truck. I tried buying that thing from him so many times while I was still in school.
Love the Dodge base model farm truck. Why someone just parked it up is a real mystery, but it's survival in that condition is nothing short of a miracle. Have a friend over here with an immaculate V4 SAAB and he still uses it as a daily! Great episode as always and I think a big block is the way to go with the Fury estate.
Looking forward to receiving my T shirt as the completion of the Fury project is worthy of commemoration! Never have I enjoyed such an amazing journey of restoration and I have been around the classic car scene in the UK for many years! Best wishes to you Scott,Frankers and all the agents from this side of the pond!
SO much going on in this one! Stephen's slog up the grade brought me back to my Merc 240D days - Never again! Those shadow shots from the T are pure art. And the Dodge half ton is just a find that never happens. What? How? I recommend leaving a bit of the tree in the grille, sanded and spar varnished.
Delightful in every way! Yet another CWM winner. Dear, sweet Frankers! That’s a great dance routine for openers, go for it baby yea! That’s a fine episode, right down to you opening Bruce’s Christmas pressies to you Scott … that scoop, what a win 🏆 Thank you all you’ve made my weekend again.
The scoop an wheels are a big improvement Scott 🇦🇺 she full race now .👍🏻🏴
Great episode! That D100 is a diamond in the rough.
Your ever so right. The right thing will happen when it’s supposed to. That pick-up was a awesome find. So original. Thank you for sharing!
Lovely old pick up. Amazing condition for being left out under trees. The 72 Sport Suburban. Same colour as mine. My 400 had a rod through it so now has a steel crank 440. Go the big block. The footage looking out of the Econoline windscreen going over the mountains was fantastic. I could have watched a full video on that road trip. The fact the six was struggling up the hill reminded me of Dennis Weaver in Duel. I thought of Dennis. Why didn’t you pop for the V8 man?
The intro wreck, Frankers, Model T drive, a Dodge truck that could have come from a used car lot in 1977 (minus the added tree accessories), very enjoyable first 10 minutes! Don't recall ever seeing a Sport Suburban. That front end is impressive and aggressive. A big block is what it needs. Western Canada is so gigantically beautiful. I envy Steven and thanks for recording your adventure! I'm Saab ignorant, but that car looks like a fine candidate for restoration. This is a 10 out of 10 presentation.
72 Fury wagons are INCREDIBLE 👍👍
I agree! Haha cheers Shaun...
@@coldwarmotors All the way, Scott ! Cheers buddy. Let's hear the story on the base Dodge. Love it !
Sad Bastard here!!!! LOVE this truck!!!!!! Drilling out from the center of the TREES is the best way to remove them..
Proud member of the Sad Bastard club, I'm a big fan of the Base. That D100 is off the charts, I love it! The phone call on the concrete pad was fuckin great 🤣 I do the same thing with Mustangs, "We unloaded the Plymouth, well that really doesn't narrow it down..." LOL I gotta say, a big block in that Suburban would really make it perfect in my opinion. Nothing like a big old wagon with too much torque for it's own good. I'd hate to see the Newport get pulled apart. I almost want to come buy that thing from you to clean up for a daily driver, I'm down in Idaho not too terribly far. As if I need more cars. Thanks for the episode Scott, really enjoyed it!
Absolutely love the DODGE WOW !!!! Incredible find ! That a dream come true to find a truck in that kind of condition under tree’s!
Congrat's to all of you guys turning up all of that Automotive Gold!!! Love those shots out the passenger window of the "T"!! That door is exactly the same door that was used on the 29 closed cab pickups like mine!! That's my new "focus" now!! Trying to "outlive" that project so I can experience driving that toy!!
Bottom line, great show Scott!! Nice to see finding all the precious bits they need to show all the DigiHeads the REAL "priceless" AUTOMOTIVE ART!!!
As the owner of a civilian 1979 Dodge St. Regis, I'd definitely consider myself a member of the Mopar Sad Bastard Club. lol. Absolutely love both the D100 rescue and whatever it takes to put that sweet '72 Custom Suburban back on the road.
Hello to all, Great video, what a time capsule D-100 had me Drooling. As a sick Fuc myself, Ford Guy looking at a 1967 Reneault Caravelle Conv. H/top...WHY? Cheers!
Haha Go for it Bruce! Cheers..
Hi there! I really enjoyed the shadow shots of the T going along the road! That is a nice truck Dan added to his fleet, another time capsule. Very nice segue to Steven's Saab adventure. I'm glad the noisy bearing didn't grenade while the van was dragging all that tonnage. I had an input bearing fail in a Saginaw 3 speed in a rusty C10 I had once, not a fun repair. Nice score with the Le Misc box & wheels! Yes, be patient on sorting out the engine for the wagon. I'm sure a low miles 440 & 727 could be found in a worthless RV for less than scrap price. Take care!
A motorhome engine and transmission? Now that's thinkin'! RVs don't usually have high miles accumulated, and the bodies and everything attached to them go downhill steadily when not used/maintained, which is common.
Cheers Scott, Frankers and the Agents.- very entertaining installment! The D100 is sick - can’t wait to see it after a Level 3 Tidy! That drive up the Rockies in the ever slowing Econoline gave me flashbacks of my own foot to the floor drive thru Death Valley in a rented Chevette many years ago…. You’ve got a C Body conundrum - if I had to choose between a running, plated ‘72 Sport Suburban or a Newport in the same condition I’d take the wagon hands down. That said, I don’t think I could sacrifice the plated Newport to get the Suburban road worthy; a trashed 300 or Imperial with a 440 will turn up. Until next week, all the best from Massachusetts!
That red Dodge is REALLY cherry! One helluva catch; it is really gonna shine up beautifully. The '72 Plymouth? I like your wait-and-see-what-develops approach, as your team always seems to come up with excellent solutions. What I do not wish to see is perfectly running cars get cannibalized for another - keep your fleet intact. NICE collection of VW's! That pickup was the belle of the episode ball!!! Cheers!
What a wonderful episode Scott ! , It was so hard not to hit the Comment button right away . Very Cool Treats all of you scored .
Yes I couldn't resist myself what a find
Another fantastic video Scott!
The lengths you and the Agents go to to save yet another one from the crusher!
Saving the 75 Dodge pickup. Kyle and the boys knocked it out of the park!
Steven going up the mountain, loaded to the gills. The 300 may have been slow, but ,it made it!
Bruce coming through in the clutch. Kool stuff!
You and Dean at the end. To much!
What a way to end a Saturday after noon!
Good to see an old Dodge being saved, and the SAAB too. Still have major mascot envy (Model T), think I need something like that T for pottering duties 👍
I can't imagine anyone buying a new pickup and putting 22000 miles and then leaving it. Nice find and good project.
Most likely it was a farm truck from new and only driven into town once in awhile. Most of those kind of trucks get pressed into regular service by other family members at some point but this one just got parked instead. Amazing condition for something that's been outside most of its life.
The red D100 is a terrific find + would be extremely practical for transporting parts and goodies for the 3 1972 Fuselage cars which you are so longing to restore ☺
That trip over the mountain reminded me of towing a 12 foot pop-up trailer over the Appalachian Mountains in a 4-cylinder Volvo with 5 people and a dog inside.
The the red Dodge pickup was a he'll of a find. Definitely need a big block in the wagon. Sweet parts for the Renault. Dean is hilarious.
Dan, a slant six and a 4 speed, I have truck envy, something that cleans up ok and not having to see if it's got a muffler or place to hold it, seriously everything from a dependable base vehicle of it's day and all you need, except for a radio, I always had an am/fm cassette player, usually saved from the last vehicle, I do mostly Fords now and keep the factory cd players, nothing like a ranger 4cy 5spd, rubber floor cover and no power steering, my swore someone took it out, but looking from underneath it never was there, it steers easy over 5mph, I put 80,000 on it and still have it, it's waiting for replacement clutch and transmission, I think the synchros went out and I've got another ranger donor waiting, spring and summer fun. Take care of it, use it and enjoy it, also for the blk that isn't rust, use cleanser, a good way to get out the deeper stuff
My heart rate went up watching Stephen running out of power in the mountains. Well done!
Thank you, Scott! For your consideration.Your success is my success in helping you and other agents.
To quote Scott saying. That red Dodge pick up is a real treat…….
What a great episode! ❤ Loved the nail-biting tension in the scene with Steven going up the mountain. Can’t wait to see those sweet, sweet wheels on the R5.
Hi Scott,,,good score on the wagon. It be a shame to use the motor out of a driving car. I found two old motorhomes with running 440's, one at auction for $250 & the other one the owner drove to my place i gave him $500. Maybe look for old campers for a engine, good luck
Such superb visuals; Frankers’ introductory prance; the T’s road shadow that was the stuff of dream sequence; and the continuing magnificence of Western Canada’s landscape as captured by Stephen on his heroic Saab excursion. Thank you & I vote for the 440 drop into the Suburban wagon, providing its practical and economically feasible with available time/loonie resources.😅
Great video, Scott!! The truck is MINT!! Wow. 22k miles. Unreal. The clean up was way cool!!
Love the looks of that wagon!! She'll be a great project as well!!
Can't believe Andy brought that Saab all the way back towed behind there van. Can't believe how much stuff he managed to bring back IN the van, ON the trailer and IN the car!! CRAZY!!!
The scoop was awesome!! LOL.
Peace and love from Michigan!!
I had a old truck like that years ago but was a old worn out state highway model. It was originally yellow in color with a light blue on top, with a three on the tree. The shifter linkage was worn out, but I still got a lot of good out of it. It had a stop sign for a floor pan... Lots of good memories. Dan will love the old red beast for sure.
Oh wow I love the rear tires on that Dodge! Enjoyed agent 7889's Saab Story too with his entry into the fiercely competetive Econoline hill climb challenge. Also I think that scoop needs to go on the R5 asap!
Great upgrades for the Renault!! Can't wait to see them installed.
My buddies dad had a car parts business years ago and there shop truck was an 84 Dodge half ton with the 225ci truck had 600,000+ kilometers on it when it finally spun a bearing.
Gave up and cooked dinner.Set down to find I was 4 mins late which was perfect.You and Dean opening and closing the show is entree and ice-cream to it.The truck's just 'Wow'! The Saab story(pun included) and the van struggle were engrossing.Loved the VW's.Friend had an almost identical VW Camper w/28K miles and took a corner too fast ending it.The Renault bling is Awesome.Cheers !
Scott, I have no doubt that you have motivated a decent number of people to take on some rather daunting projects.I Before viewing this channel, I did bodywork out of necessity. I've now learned to enjoy it (and have zero idea how I can lol)! Excellent job. I do vintage BMW repair/restoration professionally, so enjoyed the e30 content from a couple of weeks ago as well :) (I have a couple of the non-M variety)
Unbelievable find! look at the condition of those floor pedals holy shit my mind is blown away! amazing! truly amazing. know wonder their so excited, and rightly so. Wow! 72 Plymouth you definitely got lots of good descent parts to work with there, from what you've shown, and yeah definitely go with a big block. Well looks like Russ and Don has set the perfect example of what can be obtained with just a little bit of passion, all you need is a small garage and willingness, and a bit of labor, all things are possible. That's one nice Saab they did a good job on that restoration by the looks of it. And they have a really nice, nice, little collection.
Nice find on the D100👍bet that's going to clean up good. I think you should put a big block in the wagon, that car is so cool. Can't wait to see it get worked on. Cheers Scott
72 Fury are so rare. Even if you swap engines you can revert it later. I' d save every remaining full size cars (even the Newport ) because they pretty much all disapeared, and will not be produced again, and that what makes their so great value, also with their confortable ride, space, look, reliability, endurance, ease of repair, huge comodding potential, etc ...
My weekly dose of Zen. Thanks Scott, I never miss an episode. Cheers.
Incredible; finally got time to watch this, was interesting seeing Stephen flog that poor van over the Coq, recognized exactly where he was and how much fun that hill is, I'm really surprised that poor van actually made it. The Electra doesn't even break a sweat on those sections and it would easily out accelerate the Eurotrash that wanted to race, it accelerates easily going up hill, but they'd catch me in the corners though, but it makes for a fun drive when you have the power, - must be hairy when you don't. That pickup is incredible; - can't wait to see the cleaned up and running product, a great score for sure, proves that they're still "out there" if you have time to look. Great VW collection, there are some neat cars on the Island. Also looking forward to the "raced-out" Renault; - for something that was virtually ignored back in the day, those are neat cars!
Amazing how Frankers stayed glued to the unboxing of goodies.
That was a great episode to watch, an overload of content! And now a new wagon project to look forward to. Loved watching it.
Great Saab and Renault haul!! A real adventure. That Dodge pickup is a great find! Thanks for sharing!!
I just realized that Renault has only 3 lug nuts per wheel, wow.
Reminds me of an old joke: A man got a flat tire next to an insane asylum and while changing his tire out, he accidentally stepped on the wheel cover with his lug nuts in it and they went flying off over the embankment never to be seen again. A patient of the asylum was watching all of this from over the wall and heard the man mutter, "Now what am I going to do?" The patient spoke up saying "Why don't you take a lug nut from the other three wheels and that will get you on the road again."........The driver says "Gosh, that's a great idea, why are you even in this place anyway?".....The patient replied, "I may be crazy but I'm not stupid."
A great watch …. Nice to go on a journey with Stephen to Vancouver and Also seeing the boys clean there new Dodge truck… great find.. 😎🤙
How do you not covet thy neighbor's possessions? Bless me father, for I..,.You each get your turn,eventually...God willing.. An amazing find. Those brothers are vintage car sleuths. Your son loves his acquisition adventures like you. A chip off the old block. What fun! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Matthew... Thanks for the note! Stephen isn't my son though; he just saw me driving the Citroen one day and was happy to have somewhere to hang around where all they did was talk about and work on cars...Cheers!
I am catching up on the vids, Scott, so forgive me…..love the Sport Suburban! I’d sacrifice the Newport driveline! I grew up in a 3 row ‘72 T&C that my mom had! Green, wood, on green interior! I used to get sick in that 3rd row facing backwards! She traded it in on a new ‘76 Toyota Corona wagon during the gas crisis!
That D100 BLOWS MY MIND
Thanks for another great upload that helps fuel our car craze sickness for another week. This week had it all. Big block for the wagon is definitely my choice for that jewel. You offer up such a super buffet of projects that we never know which road that we are going down next. That’s cool though, I have the CWM sickness as well. 👍
