- Why do I sound Canadian at the start of this video? Anyway, here's one for all you carburetor haters out there. With a little bit of maintenance this is how an old vehicle should start.
My grandparents had one. Powder blue. Black vinyl hardtop. Loved that car as a kid in the 1970's.
I always heard people talking crap on the Valiants and Darts. They were good cars. The slant six was hard to kill.
my dad had a plymouth valiant, not sure of the year, and sold it for a 1975 Dodge Dart. 225, slant 6. Green. All green. Green vinyl seats, dash, even the steering wheel was green.
The reason people talk crap about them is because Chrysler’s quality control absolutely sucked . You either got a good Slant 6 or you got an oil drinking POS. We have a tendency to remember just the good things about these old cars and forget the horrible issues that they also had.
The 225 is known for it's legendary reliability. These were great motors, and the cars stated together as long as the subframe didn't turn to dust. Love these cars.
Nice car. I love when old engines just work with no drama.
I owned a 67 Dodge dart, a 68 Plymouth valiant, and a 1970 Plymouth duster. All three had no trouble starting in the winter time down to zero it never gets that cold here in Portland. Thank you for showing the way that car is supposed to run instead of all of these guys trying to start a car by pumping pumping and pumping and flooding it.
I had the Exact same car; when I took it in for Service, the Mechanic had written Baby Crap Brown on his Service ticket description
They were great, 45 years ago I owned a 1966 Valiant, 225 C.I.D. six drove it from N.J. to Idaho and back. Could not kill the engine ! 75 mph to 85 mph 12 hours a day on the interstates.
They feel nice when they die nice and slow though
im in cleveland and understand where you are coming from, great car, DO NOT get rid of it at any cost
Very nice and the high idle cam on the carb is set right too!!
It’s hottt when idle is set slower so there is lots of shaking and slowly die of the engine
Slant 6 for the win! Reading the instructions on the sun visor was brilliant. Rims the color of the car with poverty hubcaps warms the heart as well. Five stars!
Nice sounding slant 6 engine. Why they don't make Mopars like this anymore is beyond me. :)
My 74 Duster slant 6 was a great motor...ran for 5 minutess under load with ZERO oil pressure. Replaced oil pump and drove it 7 more years until selling to my brother.
So happy that seat belt light and buzzer work!
I had a 4 door 75 Dodge Dart. Same color minus the vinyl top.
Memories. Had a '74 in gold without the fancy trim.
i had a '74 Dart Sport (Duster chassis). Such decent engineering. Makes you wonder what happened to the company :-/
I had that same exact car, I miss that car
Bulletproof engine also used in old grain trucks. My brother drove his to work every morning in NW Minnesota all winter, started at -20. Rusty
Cool video
BUUUUUZZZZZZ! at 1:40.
much much better
it is the way the slant six served me
This guy knows.
holy sheeeit!!! that thing started quicker than my fuel injected car
my same way started in cold same as in summer
the Dart and Valiant were great cars .. sure miss them - what is the chrome switch left of the steering column on the lower instrument panel? Rear defog blower motor? can’t read the label
I have a Dodge Dart 1975 with a V6. Looks exactly like yours
Cool. What's the story on two different Dart's? This one looks to be in pretty good shape, especially for being up north.
+WhoSaidTyler I sold the last one to a buddy and bought this one to replace it as my daily commuter. It is very very clean. It's from Wisconsin. Original paint and all. It even has the original ignition coil and plug wires! (probably not a good thing i know).
+Junk Man It seems to start a bit better than the other one ...
Honestly, the last one needed a new choke thermostat. That was it. Same engines, they both have the Holley 1945 Carb, and both are tuned good. The guy that drives the old one still hasn't fixed the choke. hahaha..... Maybe we like the drama of hard starting, rusty, old dodge.
How big is the engine in that Dart, because I remember some Dodge Darts (especially the Special Edition models) have had V-8 engines.
How long has it been sitting before ? This is really amazing. I owned a 1980 Dodge Aspen bought from dealership had starting problems every morning ! same engine
I kind of liked that because I loved the sound of the starter!
I drive a 81 d150 everyone says it won't start it's too cold in winter my truck starts up every morning iv even got coworker because there vehicle did not start
I want 1,I need 1.
I have a 74 plymouth valiant same dash board and more haha. Are you going to keep this dart?
It's for sale right now actually. $2,900!
Thanks
Post more
I miss that other car heheheh
My 73 Duster has a hard time start in the cold that's why they cold nature cars
But the sound of the starter is really great!
Any barefoot cold starts?
greai cars
You warmed the car up, prior to the video.
No way. Battery is dead as hell. Bullshit
