[rostine1980]

Sweet

[12taaron]

I got a 1966 plymouth fury its a drag car it can be street legal

[IanTC12]

I do kind of prefer the old steering wheel style though. I'm amazed you did all that work with the engine in :)

[IanTC12]

Now that is a lot of work, kudos

[slowmotion4x4]

I still see fixer uppers for sale now and then

[7072wedgehead]

omg i havent heard kraftwerk autobahn since 1974. i still have it in 8-track.lol

[slowmotion4x4]

@7072wedgehead I think it was about 76 when I first heard them.

[MegaTaurus777]

amazing resto!

[slowmotion4x4]

@MegaTaurus777 Thanks. It is getting closer to being finished

[Sail8410]

Nice job and I enjoy reading your posts/updates. Where did you get the manifolds? Any reason you did not mod the 383?

[slowmotion4x4]

@Sail8410 If you are talking about the hes. They are from summit racing. I will be getting headers from TTI soon I hope. They are made for my car

[10yroldcarlover]

woah, they made a 71hp 440?

[slowmotion4x4]

@10yroldcarlover The 71 Hp was a 370 hp motor. Down 5 HP from 70. Six pack motors were 285 HP in 71. This was the last year for the true HP motors

[BieberFever970]

verry nice video 

[slowmotion4x4]

@BieberFever970 Thanks

[madmarv86]

k-mart, wal-mart, and value village back yard resto at its best! why not take your time with a car like that? Arrggh!!!



[slowmotion4x4]

@madmarv86 I wish it was as easy as you say. Check out the next 2 videos to see the up dates. 66 fury part 2 and my 66 fury painted. Completely redoing a car like this takes a lot of time and money. I think you will find the final work is acceptable. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video though. I appreciate all comments.

[MattCHollis1988]

Very nice. It is a good thing to see someone who appreciates the beautiful thing that is a classic automobile, and not leave them in some field to wrought. To often have i seen very valuable, classic cars and trucks going to waste, never to be seen on the road again.

[slowmotion4x4]

@MattCHollis1988 Thanks. In a few more months, the car will finally be completed. It has been a lot of work though. It has been worth it to me though

[V8TransAmGTA]

Nice...

[hammerogod]

From Junk to Driver.

I am impressed.

This makes me want to at least try to bring one back from the dead.

If I can find the right car I might take on the challenge.

Thanks for this vid.

[slowmotion4x4]

@hammerogod Thanks, if you find a car you really like. it is not work. I enjoy working on the fury. Soon I will be starting on my Ranchero.

[helperout]

i am enjoying Kraftwerk Autobahn as i watch the making of a Beast / beauty . either or , very nice job . Ray in PA

[slowmotion4x4]

Thanks, I have an updated video on here now that shows it painted. My 1966 Plymouth fury painted should pull it up.

[helperout]

I have watched this video 3 times now and I have to commend you on saving this car , i can hear it say AHHHH , WOW . your hands are quite talented and tired i'm sure from the beautiful job you have done so far with this Classic piece . i cannot wait to see it completely finished . again !!! Kudos Brother . Ray in PA

[oldtrucker63]

I know what you have been through man, I'm rebuilding a 1979 dodge RV 440 with the 727 trans, You have done a lot of hard but fun work,  Nice job thanks for sharing.

[the1potato]

I would like to say a big thank you to save it from the junk really your a nice person :D

[jimmymartel1994]

How much did this cost you?

[slowmotion4x4]

@jimmymartel1994 For the car? Or every thing? I paid 1700 for the car. the rest was not much with all the deals I came across 

[rapidtransitsystem3]

Just finished my 65 Fury, find any good places to pick up some reproduction parts? They seemed few and far between.

[slowmotion4x4]

@rapidtransitsystem3 You will have to send me a pm. Your main page is almost un readable with the gray back ground and black font. I may be able to help point you to a few good places. let me know what stuff you are looking for too.

[The85GTMustang]

and i noticed that u replaced the single line master cylinder for a bigger one with a power booster that was a good move u would have gotten killed with the other one

[The85GTMustang]

i saw a really sweet samurai in one pic

[h0thead268]

simply.....amazing 

[Bearhawke42]

I like it.

Bummer you couldn't keep the original California 'Black plates'. IF you ever get pissed off @ those 1965-68 Budd disc brakes; you can swap on a set of '1973' Mopar C body units since the rotors were also used on 1973-ca. 80 5 lug Dodge pickups and vans . Too; your present dual reservoir master cylinder won't know the difference :)

[slowmotion4x4]

I buitd a nice daily driver which is all I wanted. You would have to be stupid to put the money into a car like this for a full resto. The car when done would cost an easy 3 times of what the car would be worth when done. This is not a 70 cuda where you get your money back. All I want is a nice car I can drive every day if I want and not worry about a door ding here and there.

[XCLENT408]

Im confused why didnt you do a ground up resto i definatly needed it all you have done is patched it up and hidden the damage with the she''ll be right attitude

[slowmotion4x4]

Thanks for all the great comments. The car is in the shop for paint finally. I figure some where around July. I should have a new video up of the old girl.

[clifford0818]

Great junk yard find keep bringin em back to life!!

[slowmotion4x4]

Thanks. It was a project but well worth it. It has always been important to me to be able to say I did all the work and didn't just buy the car as is. The car was a little more than I had initially realized.

[LeeVervoort]

great job man.

[NoForRice]

Wow, i hope one day i can rescue a cool car like that !!! Congrats .

[batista2893]

i am restored my datsun

[fraglesman1987]

IMPRESIVE !

[slowmotion4x4]

the original motor was a 383 and the one I have now is a 440

[ALittleNooby]

What kind of engine?

[qmopar]

Great job - love seeing respect for the C-bodies! Would love to see another video of it in action...

Congrats on a job well done

[mncmcnc5]

awful music

[marioslet]

wauw well it makes me feeling pretty good that some guys saving classic cars he looks as new 5/5

[Masikoira]

I appreciate your effort which you have seen with this car!

[beammark]

at 8:35 what is that spring around your shock? like performance stuff or what? whats it called?

[slowmotion4x4]

@beammark The spring is a over load spring to carry more weight. This was a temporary install for this car. I bought new shocks that have the springs built in. They are great because I don't have to use air shocks for a stiffer shock. You can see the new shocks in 1966 plymouth fury, junk yard to almost finished other than paint, this the latest video 8/10

[40gtarz]

@slowmotion4x4 thats alot of crap..lol

[40gtarz]

@slowmotion4x4 just goes to show that you can polish a turd

[andrewsaurusrex23]

there needs to be more people in the world like you!

[slowmotion4x4]

Thanks, I love mopars but can appreciate any car some one takes the time to fix up. I went all out when i did my samurai. it is on here as well. If you like chevys. You might want to check out my partners 55 chevy. You can find it as genes 55 chevy on here. I have the build and a second video of it painted.

[3amrepmike3]

Im a chevy guy myself, but I still enjoy seeing any classic brought back to its former glory. This is something Id love to do some day

[slowmotion4x4]

Thanks for the nice comments. Youtube blocks almost any music I try to put in videos any more. So I have a very limited choice. The car drives great. With the shocks on it. It drives like any other car and handles way better than you would think. It is a enjoyable car to drive and It is very reliable.. I am happy how it is turning out.

[arkansastrash320]

Those 66 plymouth furys were a very pretty car!I had a 66plymouth 2door myself.Could kick my own butt for letting it go.Man yours is a beauty!!Those cars were made back when real cars were made.I bet it floats down the highway?

[925dude]

great video....great car to save....music was ummm ok....

keep up the good work ...



[slowmotion4x4]

Thanks 12345mopar, Carlorgalli, Send me a pm and I will see if I can help with the parts.

[12345mopar]

very nice car man

[carlorgalli]

Hey, your Fury is impressive! where did you get the parts?! I have one in my country and Its hard for me to find the spare parts I need for my Fury, do you know where can I find parts in Internet?! tnx :)

[erminatt]

i bet it was hard take the engine out. did you replace the interior? :D

[james32347]

Very good work! I am doing something very similar with a 78 nova. If you would like to check my project car just type in 78 nova project here on youtube. Keep me posted on your progress.

[jjtrucks]

hey, does anyone know of any places i can look for a mopar roller. Like, body, wheels...etc, just no motor or tranny. I've got a 383 in my grandparents basement and tranny to go with i just need the car to put it in. I'm thinking Junkyard or Craigslist...since money is a MAJOR object lol.

[junkjunkie64]

very cool my friend ! you have a good eye for awesome looked over cars great work!!!

[slowmotion4x4]

@junkjunkie64 Thanks. I am at the point where I only need a new paint job now.

[killerskee47]

@slowmotion4x4 how much have u invest into this car

[slowmotion4x4]

@killerskee47 I may have about 3,000.00 total if I added up every thing. I have came across a lot of deal, traded parts I didn't use for others and such. I got most of my 4 speed set up with trades and when I sold that. It pretty much paid for the aluminum heads. So money wise. I am doing good. I do have a lot of time in the car though. I had to pay for the tranny rebuild and new tires. My old carbs paid for a good part of the new ones. So I have done well with this car.

[slowmotion4x4]

I am finding most of the younger guys don't really like the song. Unfortunately. I can't change the music with out removing the video and replacing it. Maybe I should think about that. I could re do it completely to show where the car is at now. Thanks for checking it out though.

[cmmolthr]

@slowmotion4x4 but some of we older guys love this music, because it is music

[europe0wnz]

@slowmotion4x4 hey, im 19 and i loove oldies.

[legomonster608]

@slowmotion4x4 i'm 14 and i like this music more than today's hiphop /rap/r&b .i think there are plenty of guys that like this music

[mighymopars]

awesome job on the car man mopar or no car. but man the music almost made me stop watching the vid it sucked bad

[thatkidsmokin]

love the car man i got a 68 but i hate hate this song im sorry.

[wrathchild2k]

nice work sir !

[Rezno77]

For everyone out there these cars are rare inquier about is history before you junk it. it really doesn't matter the condition if it's worth it someone will bye it. Keep the classics alive DO NOT JUNK  IT!!!

[derrickmtyma]

thank you for saving a mopar and giving it another life.

[slowmotion4x4]

Sorry, it is the link at the bottom here My 66 Fury, a few before and after shots

[slowmotion4x4]

This is the video you should check out

1966 Plymouth Fury 440 almost done

[slowmotion4x4]

@cbobmonster Check out this video real quick and it will show why. I just wanted to get it running to see where I was at. Then went back and took care of a few things.

[cbobmonster]

why did u paint the engine bay arter u put the motor in ?

[MegaJosebautista]

how did you change you front brakes to disc brakes, i have a 66 fury to

[MegaJosebautista]

How did you change your front brakes to these brakes?

[jango1968]

didnt you want a 58 plymouth fury

[Blown440Magnum]

Very nice i enjoyed that!

[wrathchild2k]

definitely a labor of love, these diamonds in the rough are getting harder to find . nice find and beautiful job man.

[socalltd]

i hope you stil have the origial black plates for this classic. hope the junkyard did not keep them..

[jdmk20guy]

ok im looking for my dads make of car its a plymouth and looks like this but has circle lights on the back ??anyone know ?

[TheRibatron]

fuck that was done all backwards the hard way shit

[slowmotion4x4]

@TheRibatron It may look like it but the videos are not in complete order as I am sure you can see if you paid attention. I agree. Some could have been done at better times but I did a lot of this as I cam across parts. The next video I will be doing soon will show every thing in order and more to the point. Thanks for looking though

[TheRibatron]

@TheRibatron ah yeah cool would like too see, im a panel beater an live in australia , looks like you spent an arm and leg on it, are parts an materials fair bit cheeper in the states

[slowmotion4x4]

@TheRibatron I got so many deals on this that I probably only have about 2500.00 in it at this point here. I just put another 2,000.00 in the motor. The next video will show the car as it is now. It is a lot cleaner under the hood. Thanks for checking my video out.

[flacoex3purojuaritoz]

thank you for savin this beauty!!! good job man love the car

[knack68]

what a gorgeous Mopar ! for sure, that's a great reparing job you did on that car =)

but what is the title of the song you did use as background music ?

[slowmotion4x4]

@knack68 Thanks, The song is Autobaun by Kraftwerk

[mrke8ting]

Nice vid, and cool car from junk to new again, was wondering why you didn't paint the firewall and suspension when ya had the motor out, ? a lot easier then. Was also wondering how you stretched the new headliner? is there a special tool for that?

[slowmotion4x4]

@mrke8ting No tools needed for the head liner. It only took a few minutes to get it in too other than re installing the stainless. I just wanted to get the motor in by the time I got to this point. The motor is coming out in a few days for a full rebuild. It will go back in with aluminum heads and the dual quad set up. Every thing under the hood will get painted while it is out this time.

[69moparman]

Wow, what a nice mopar, you have done well bringing her back to life !!

Enjoyed the video ! !

[herbienbrian]

loved it, you did a great job with a great car!

[burnttranny]

nice work

[officervanhalen56]

i'm not a really big plymouth fan but that is a nice ride. thanks for saving a classic

[wil1243]

I'm glad your going to a 4-speed. I like how you kept the Fury a mild resto-mod. I really like the clean look. Very nice work.

[ROCKSOLID19]

@slowmotion4x4, I am not all that into American cars and don't know all the names but this is a very beautiful car. A diamond in the rough sitting amongst souless modern vehicles. Those other cars shown at the beginning of your vid (looks like a white Chrysler & some Ford thing) deserve to stay there. Modern cars don't last for long and have ropey interior and crummy handling. Your Plymouth is not built for corners but that is not the point of a All American Classic. Good luck on rebuilding her

[zipz28]

Very nice.

[capecodcuda]

thanks for sharing! great project ... 440 with a 4 speed ... thats sweet : )

[GlennnD]

thanks for saving a classic !!

[slowmotion4x4]

Thanks. I will be doing another vid next year. I am changing her over to a 4 speed and dual quad set up. She should look a little cleaner over all too.

[mikser6666]

car looks great restored its a great plesure to see somthing old in such good shape these days :)

[v8gearhead1]

Wonderfull inspiration to us all

[bad66chevelles]

cool mopar!

[Chevypower265]

Looks great! I'm glad yet another classic is back on the road again! I'm gonna have to do a video like this of my '70 Chevy truck, When I got it back in Jan of this year it barely ran at all, so much work has had to be done!

[slowmotion4x4]

Thanks. I did this because most people thought I bought my car like it is. I did one of these for my partners 55 chevy too. I wish I could have added the car running here at the end. It would have made it to long to put on here then. I will have to check out your truck. I used to have a 67 Gmc

[slowmotion4x4]

Thanks, 70s music. I am working on a all off road stucks right now. There are tons of pictures

[Ill06Taco]

nice job on the video Brian, the music is a little weird, but suits the pace lol

[slowmotion4x4]

Thanks. I can't really say it is restored. But it is coming along pretty good. Yes it is a 66. My car doesn't spin the tires to much. It hooks up pretty good. This came with a 383 and has a 440 now. They are great cars.

[bigblockbryan1982]

hey i just got my 65 fury out good video i think yours just as bad as mine in driffrent ways lol my air shcoks started leaking on my first trip so now im gonna get leaf spring helpers cause i hate air shocks lol

[slowmotion4x4]

I am going with coil over shocks . They look similar to what I have on now. If you need any parts. I have extra stuff. A super nice rear seat from a sport fury. I sold the buckets. I wanted a bench in my car. I don't care for air shocks either. Have any pictures of your car?

[arkansastrash320]

Wow thats sweet to see a REAL American car restored.I had a fury3 totally like yours in every way but it came with a 361 that would burn the tires off it.Mine was 1966 yours must be a 66 too?Those cars are a dream to drive ride on a cloud i remember mine.The Fury sport model was so sweet it had the floor shifter and autonatic and bucket seats all factory..Thanks
