Raised in the back seats, as well as probably made on those back seats, too. 😜

[@jamesblair9614]

That car is gorgeous, it is truly a beautiful example of a car that once filled the new car lots of Plymouth dealers. The GTX in the show room brought them in, and junior was all excited that dad was looking at a cool car, but once reality kicked in, it was out to the back lot to look at family cars. So many of these had the big six, the 273 is a bit unusual, and the 3 speed transmission is very cool, as is the beige color. This is a car I would love to own and show, once so plentiful, now so uncommon.

[@thirdpedalnirvana]

That car is so well cared for. I'm all down for a restomod. But all too often that means people put in a modern engine and cut a hole in the floor for a 5 speed. And that's just not appropriate. If you want a car that drives like a newer car, buy a newer car.

[@alhi6240]

My first car (handed-down from father and brother) was the 1967 Plymouth Belvedere (slant 6, same beige color). Wish it remained in the family. Dad drove our family of 4 from Florida to California to British Columbia and back in 1971. Water pump was replaced while in Canada. I recall a lot of play in the steering wheel.

[@bhzaddybhzolby1705]

I love average American cars from the 60's and 70's, the 4 door base model cars because you just don't see them that often especially in that condition. I drive a 1972 Dodge Coronet as a daily and I absolutly love it because it's a beautiful car that was affordable as a first car when I bought it 5 years ago. It has an AM radio with an 8 track player from Kmart. It has the bare necessities but does have AC because in the 70's it was more of a standardized option. It's just a great car with a 318 that seems like it will never quit. I'm so sad that these cars aren't appreciated as much as they should be for the part they all played in the American family way of life back then. I can just imagine the family that owned this car on their way to church or maybe mom and dad going out to dinner.

[@Ciborium]

I was raised in the backseat of my dad's 1967 Plymouth Belvedere (4D sedan, 318 c.i. V8, blue that faded almost to a blue-gray, 3-speed auto on the tree, A/C that didn't work, optional shoulder belt for front seat that made my shoulder ache when I was old enough to drive). People typically call cars like that "boats". I called ours "the aircraft carrier" because of all the large flat horizontal sections. Huge flat hood. Huge flat trunk. Huge flat roof. Lots of sharp corners and 90 degree angles inside and out.

[@bwofficial1776]

Beautiful car and a great video. Mid to late 60s B-bodies are some of my favorite Mopars. It's just such a clean, classy, sharp design. I know a guy who daily drives a '67 Coronet 2-door with a slant six. It's dead simple and powerful and efficient enough.

[@saxongreen78]

Zero nonsense car, clean styling, everything is logical and it works.

[@stickshiftdriver1832]

This is the car that you will pick up your friends in and go to the hang out spot to watch all of the cool muscle cars and any other cool cars.

[@rogerbahakel8130]

My 67 had a 318 auto ,It was a good car,I drove to Tucson 1600 miles.

[@luadinverno7778]

That's why the 1967 Plymouth belvedere 4door. was used in the TV series Adam 12

[@jkeelsnc]

Very nice car. Loved the design and styling in cars of the mid to late 60’s.

[@lemon7039]

Great video but there were VIN numbers in 1967. It’s stamped on a plate on the drivers front door hinge pillar.

[@unixbadger]

Thanks! I spent my early childhood in the back of a Belvedere station wagon. Thanks for the ride in a time machine.

[@ShootingCars]

Thank you so much!

[@travishabursky4362]

Ward Cleaver drove a Plymouth Fury from 1961-1963, and he was an Architect. Plenty of people owned a Plymouth.

[@stickshiftdriver1832]

There were those whom made thousands of dollars in the 60s and still driven cars like this. Many people were first generation from the depression or grew up during it and were more frugal and would purchase a point A to B car like this.

[@chrisp2350]

This was really cool. I had a 4 door Belvedere II with a 383 in blue. It was an awesome car and was completely stock. Smooth ride and quiet.

[@stickshiftdriver1832]

There are cup holders that hang from the doors that you could get from auto part store

[@eddieschwab864]

The important thing with the 273 in that vehicle was not so much the power but the power to weight ratio. Despite its physical footprint the Belvedere was fairly lightweight for its size. Now this is a bit of an oddity to me because I've never seen one with a three on the tree in a sedan most of the ones I've seen that are sedans or wagons all had automatic. But it might have just been a very very base model low option thing to have it like that. My parents had a 66 Belvedere II Wagon when I was a kid with the same 273 under the hood but it was automatic in the light teal blue. I never figured out later on when I understood this stuff if it was a torqueflite 904 or 727. Sadly cars back when I was a kid people did not finesse them or painstakingly try to keep them alive they would get junk for sent to be used for bigfoot whenever they were past their Prime the latter is what happened to my parents wagon. Probably my favorite car to ride in when I was little. And back then we had a 72 Cadillac and both a 65 and 66 Mustang as well. Just happy to see that one is still on the road Alive and Kicking

[@1VaDude]

In the first season of Adam-12, they used 1967 to 1969 Plymouth Belvedere sedans. Theirs probably had the 383-4bbl V8 for squad car duty.

[@luadinverno7778]

I was going to say that, what vehicles did they used from 1970 to 75 when the series ended

[@1VaDude]

@@luadinverno7778 -- The LAPD used the Plymouth Satellite for a few years, but AMC got the bid in 1972 with the Matador 4dr sedan. With a 401 V8 in a mid-sized car, it was a capable squad car. In one of the later Adam-12 seasons, they drove one in the show.

[@jeffreybrianring6392]

@@luadinverno7778 in 1968 through 1970 they used Plymouth belvedere's then in 1971 Plymouth satellite's, 1972 on they used Plymouth belvedere's and AMC matador's. The Plymouth's all had 383 four barrel engines and the matador's had 401 four barrel engines.

[@drifterman319]

There were beer holders though. By way of a pot with a few beers on ice at my mother's feet. Literally. "Nother beer dear. (Tssst.) Thank you".

[@ModelA]

Now THAT'S a car!!!! Thanks Zack.

[@kondur05]

Hermano, tu video es asombroso! Gracias. Un abrazo desde Venezuela!

[@user-wy7nz2be5i]

Owned a 67 4 door Belvedere 1 automatic. Ice Blue 273 engine Still looking for one!!!!

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Enjoyed. Just bought a nice solid 1966 Belvedere 2. Can't wait to cruise in it.

[@SETRAAKI]

The ending part was so dramatic! Love ur channel!!!👌

[@linwoodccole9765]

My aunt had the same identical car

[@ptrollan]

i had this car, loved it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lenconnell1]

The small block V8s, 273 and 318, have anemic performance. They are definitely, put puts...that will putt putt and rack up a million miles without a problem. Grandma and Grandpa's car. The A904 is also not geared for speed or torque. The two-door version is the same body style as the GTX, which was the screamer with the 440 or 426 Hemi. The 383s were rare, had more power though. If I were to restomod one, I would do a modern 360 magnum with an AOD transmission. Also change the rear end to a lower gear, since this new design would have overdrive. These normally came with manual brakes, so worth investing in larger power disc brakes at least in front. The steering box was very drifty with a lot of turns to lock. These cars had a lot of room to work on things. BTW...the spare tire is under a hatch in the trunk. I live in Vegas so after market AC is a must. Plenty of room for headers and dual exhausts.

[@jaymartin4166]

I just witnessed a couple weeks ago my friend turning down $500,000 for his 1967 Belvedere convertible 426 hemi with four speed. His Grandma bought it new, and he's had it for at least forty years.

[@lenconnell1]

The cure for the anemic Mopar small blocks of the era was either throwing in a 340 or putting 340 heads on the existing. 318.

[@jeffreybrianring6392]

The odometer indicates 112 thousand miles, not 124k. Nice car, I'd drive the wheels off that car and enjoy every minute of it. Every Mopar that beige color I've seen over the yrs have been in great condition, so weird.

[@danr1920]

I would argue the slat six was every bit as smooth as a V8. In this size car it really needs at least the little V8. Surprised it has a manual. Chrysler made great cars in this era. The inside adjustable mirror was a rare option. Cars had vin numbers, in two places in fact. That plate was for dealer warranty service.

[@dave11686]

So cool

[@JoeLevesque-pi2lz]

I want to send this to dan social worker

[@bradhampton6457]

That’s funny how many younger gen people have never driven a 3 on the tree.

[@madisonthompson8545]

I have one of these, mine comes as basic as possible.

[@thirdpedalnirvana]

Well, it's not a transponder. A transponder transmits and receives.

[@markhealey9409]

I assume it stands for transitor radio??

[@vr4787]

As bare bones, unrefined, and no frills 60s cars are they just have so much honest grit and character, Mopar or no car 👍

[@josephmachado3285]

I own the same car color except mine the two door sedan or two door post belvedere I

[@nicolasisquithcarreno9692]

Can you please do a review on a Mazda 323

[@jaybell9220]

318?

[@jamessouthworth1699]

Going on road trips we never brought the dog

[@richardmenfolk5183]

vanilla ice cream color xD

[@OsbornTramain]

They sold more Four doors than Two doors, wagons or convertible Belvederes in 1967, not sure why you're saying it wasn't sought after? Four doors were the most popular style body style in the 60s. Over 55,000 Belvedere Four doors were produced, far exceeding 2 doors or wagons. You're blurring out the name of the long deceased original owner for privacy of Dead people? This is history! I don't think a person on line is going to stalk a dead person

[@thirdpedalnirvana]

"down below"? Don't you mean "on the tree"? The shifter isn't really below you

[@ralliartfanevoix]

The actual physical transmission is below the car body.
