That's what this one was. 17 00:00:57,689 --> 00:01:01,620 It's a '69 Plymouth Belvedere, no engine, no trans. 18 00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:05,275 And I brought parts which I'll fill you in on to make this thing great. 19 00:01:05,275 --> 00:01:08,413 And I'm gonna need both these guys' help 'cause we've got five days. 20 00:01:08,413 --> 00:01:12,068 And we're gonna replace every nut and bolt in the whole drivetrain. 21 00:01:12,068 --> 00:01:15,793 Fortunately they cleared the shop for us.

We're buying this one. 34 00:01:50,723 --> 00:01:53,827 Yeah, this has great paint on it. Totally have this. 35 00:01:53,827 --> 00:01:55,275 [David] Which brings us to the "what". 36 00:01:55,275 --> 00:01:59,206 This is a 1969 Plymouth Belvedere. 37 00:01:59,206 --> 00:02:02,310 This car's original 318 car with a three on the tree, 38 00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:03,586 so it was a stick. 39 00:02:03,586 --> 00:02:06,896 This thing is it was so much cheaper than a Road Runner. 40 00:02:06,896 --> 00:02:08,482 But it's the same car. 41 00:02:08,482 --> 00:02:10,689 You may not be aware that a Road Runner 42 00:02:10,689 --> 00:02:13,172 is essentially just a high-performance Belvedere. 43 00:02:13,172 --> 00:02:15,482 Plymouth, back then took their cheapest, 44 00:02:15,482 --> 00:02:18,275 lowest and lightest weight, no-frills car 45 00:02:18,275 --> 00:02:20,482 and they added bigger engines, bigger brakes, 46 00:02:20,482 --> 00:02:22,793 bigger torsion bars, sway bars 47 00:02:22,793 --> 00:02:25,586 and some stickers and stripes and garbage and called them a Road Runner. 48 00:02:25,586 --> 00:02:27,586 And it was a huge, huge hit. 49 00:02:27,586 --> 00:02:31,310 The 1969 Road Runner was the MotorTrend Car of the Year. 50 00:02:31,310 --> 00:02:34,724 I know you're dying to know. I paid 7,000 bucks for this thing. 51 00:02:34,724 --> 00:02:36,724 Then the "when". Right now. 52 00:02:36,724 --> 00:02:38,620 The "why". 53 00:02:38,620 --> 00:02:43,482 Okay. I've been a Mopar guy probably since day one. Since I was a teenager. 54 00:02:43,482 --> 00:02:47,517 And in more recent years I've been fairly critical of the 426 Hemi. 55 00:02:47,517 --> 00:02:50,172 I think they're overpriced, I think they're super heavy. 56 00:02:50,172 --> 00:02:54,620 I think they don't make the torque that a wedge could. So I'm not a hug fan. 57 00:02:54,620 --> 00:02:57,586 But at the same time, the Mopar stroke in me 58 00:02:57,586 --> 00:03:00,620 has always wanted some kind of Hemi car 59 00:03:00,620 --> 00:03:04,000 that I could just turn the key and drive like it was nothing. 60 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,379 And so that's what this car is gonna be. 61 00:03:06,379 --> 00:03:12,275 So recall that we had built the Hemi Gremmie together a long time ago. 62 00:03:12,275 --> 00:03:15,310 And we installed a 426 Hemi iron head motor. 63 00:03:15,310 --> 00:03:19,896 But then we broke a rocker arm on the Gremlin, had to abandon a road trip. 64 00:03:19,896 --> 00:03:21,620 That side. 65 00:03:21,620 --> 00:03:26,103 So that's when Finnegan and friends swiped the thing, brought it over to his place, 66 00:03:26,103 --> 00:03:28,000 built a new Hemi for it. 67 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,103 A new Hemi that I had actually given him in trade 68 00:03:31,103 --> 00:03:34,379 when we were first building the Blasphemi 55 Chevy. 69 00:03:34,379 --> 00:03:36,482 And then that engine ended up getting fragged. 70 00:03:36,482 --> 00:03:37,930 And it was sitting in his place. 71 00:03:37,930 --> 00:03:40,103 He had Bostick Racing Engines got through it. 72 00:03:40,103 --> 00:03:43,310 It makes 700 horsepower. It now lives in the Hemi Gremmie. 73 00:03:43,310 --> 00:03:46,896 Which left me with the spare 426 kicking around. 74 00:03:46,896 --> 00:03:51,000 And that's why we're able to have that used Hemi ready to stab in this car. 75 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,413 So in the next five days we have to install a Hemi, 76 00:03:54,413 --> 00:03:58,586 a used A-833 Four-Speed that I got from here at the yard, 77 00:03:58,586 --> 00:04:02,517 and a used Dana 60 that I brought from another friend. 78 00:04:02,517 --> 00:04:05,413 I think I thought of every possible part that we could use. 79 00:04:05,413 --> 00:04:09,724 Because right here, right now we are an hour from any auto parts store. 80 00:04:09,724 --> 00:04:12,275 So I gotta build it with all the parts that I thought of 81 00:04:12,275 --> 00:04:15,655 and, of course, probably some scraps from this Mopar junkyard. 82 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,274 We've already made more progress today on this project 83 00:04:19,274 --> 00:04:23,000 than we made in the entire first day of that Mustang project in Washington. 84 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,896 Oh, yeah! That was horrible! 85 00:04:24,896 --> 00:04:28,000 We didn't get very far on day number one. This is great! 86 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,310 Basically the car needs engine, trans, 87 00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:32,620 drive shaft, rear end, rear suspension. 88 00:04:32,620 --> 00:04:35,000 -Cooling-- -Everything that makes it go. 89 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,310 -Right. -Yeah. 90 00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:40,172 So do you want to go engine and trans first? 91 00:04:40,172 --> 00:04:42,206 Or do you wanna go rear axle first? 92 00:04:42,206 --> 00:04:44,275 -Well, it has a rear axle currently. -[David] Yeah. 93 00:04:44,275 --> 00:04:45,482 So maybe that's the last thing. 94 00:04:45,482 --> 00:04:47,827 -All right.
