1972 Dodge Coronet Custom Slant Six Stick Shift! Vintage MoPar

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

The joys of the Holley 1920 carburetor. Nice car...I love those loss-leader models. Each dealer kept one or two of those around so that they could advertise "New 1972 Coronet as low as $2999!"

[@joedepoto]

I can totally relate to the struggles of a Holley 1920 carb on my ‘72 Duster.👨‍🔧🤔🤷‍♂️

[@justina3221]

I have zero problems with the 1920

[@Clyde-2055]

@@joedepoto - Beautiful, simple little carb. Replace the accelerator pump diaphragm and power valve every 3 years, and let it eat !

[@404goldie7]

Die hard Mopar here. That Coronet suits you so well! It even sets off your coloring. So cool. I want a three-on-the tree so bad. My Mom drove her '66 Valiant for thirty years!

[@matrox]

Sounds 10xs better than a modern day 6 banger.

[@calvincrews3885]

It’s best to keep the slant six cylinder engine and the Dodge Coronet alive great job doing a little bit of repair

[@matrox]

I was almost in HS when these came out. We didn't even know WTF a Toyota was back then.

[@georgewetzel4380]

The perfect daily!

[@danielulz1640]

That is one strange 72 Dodge! Someone sprung for custom trim, power steering and a radio, period. Weird, I love it.

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

It’s super odd ball… that’s why I had to have it!

[@gasser66]

Looking forward to the detailed walk around. Pretty neat that a 1970 classic was playing on the radio. Can't beat the oldies stations.

[@stevedrinkard7297]

Very cool ride had same thing but 318 auto that slant 6 and 3 on the tree is awesome!

[@timothykeith1367]

These are nice lòoking sedans. Once common in fleets. Very durable and stylish.

[@oliverw3646]

Pretty cool Clint car

[@Wiencourager]

My grandpa had a couple of these. He custom ordered them with manual steering. Although his did have an automatic. His 77 must have been one of the last without power steering

[@jimcabezola3051]

I like everything about this car! Even the radio works! What more could one want? Well...maybe a muffler, but that's about it! Just run it 'til the revenuers say we cain't run 'em no mo'! Happy motoring!

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

Muffler for sure! Too obnoxious for me!

[@turboomni848]

Nice car that is lucky to be alive ,congrats!

[@user-ip1ro6qx2b]

That's a car to love!!! Good find, Austin. Have a great Christmas.

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

Thanks! Same to you!

[@79tazman]

That's the same year Uncle Tony has that is named the bottle Rocket I like them cars yours is very cool and love that it has a slant six in it with a 3spd transmission

[@79tazman]

That car sounds good for a slant six and it sounds like someone put a cam in that thing because I have never heard a factory slant six have a chop like that unless I'm hearing things

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Starter sounds just like Dino Flintstone! 😁

[@JoeBritton-mw5yk]

Definitely a rare bird and cool. The color is actually called "Dark Gold Metallic" and should have a "GY9" on the fender tag. I still have my 1972 Dodge Charger Rallye in the same color but has a 340 and automatic, 1 of 1075. I ordered it new and it came with the dog dish caps because I planned on putting Keystone Klassics on it which I did right after taking delivery. I'll bet yours is even more rare. Love your videos.

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

It is GY9 Dark Gold Metallic. I like this color. Odd green gold shade. Very unique and seldom seen these days.

[@justina3221]

Tawny Gold

[@JoeBritton-mw5yk]

Clarification....Yes, sales code GY9 was used on Plymouths and referred to it as "Tawny Gold Metallic" and Dodge also used GY9 but referred to it as "Dark Gold Metallic". Chrysler paint number was AY270GY9 for both. When I'm asked what color my Charger is I just say it's dark brown.

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

@@JoeBritton-mw5yk I didn’t read close enough. You still have the car? That’s awesome. Did you keep the original wheels and caps or did they get tossed out at some point? Also were the wheels painted body color?

[@JoeBritton-mw5yk]

Yes, I still have the car with original paint in fairly good condition except for a repaint in 1974 of front clip from hitting a horse (not at the race track)!! Unfortunately the wheels and "raised white letter" tires got used on other vehicles that I have since sold. From what I remember, I'm pretty certain the wheels were black, not body color. From your video it looks like the spare snow tire you have in the trunk is mounted on a b!ody color wheel? You might be able to determine if the wheel has some sort of code on it that may reflect the date??@@ObsoleteAutomotive

[@randolfo1265]

I think 'stick shift' implies floor shifter. Like the three on the floor I had in an old Gremlin. This is a "three on the tree", which is way cooler. Anyhow, awesome car. Just found your channel and I click sub! Greetings from Canada!

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

Thanks for subscribing!

[@user-yc2oz8kc5k]

Love the rubber floor, the red circle hubcaps and the drivetrain. I only wish the shifter was on the floor instead.

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

There was a 4 speed offered with the big block… but I’ve never seen one. I’d love to have a big block, 4 speed sedan!

[@vincebuono2135]

Wow sweet!! My dad had 71 dodge but with the 318 my the car moved!!!

[@davycrockett5218]

My 73 satellite sebring plus holds similarities, same dash but different cluster

[@tomtbi]

Really quite solid,especially considering where it came from...

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

Very surprising that the car isn’t more rusty.

[@johnbrooke2764]

love that vehicle!

[@damon9408]

I had the same one, except with a 318, auto trans & no radio at all

[@MichaelJustice-ng7by]

Love it

[@hughjass1044]

Fine! Damn fine!

[@Clyde-2055]

2:35 - Bet no one guessed that Austin was a body and fender man !!

[@jeffreyrigged]

i actually was supposed to buy a 71 like this that was a ex police package unmarked. It had the 440 727. My friends grandparents had it when i was 18 and i had to plan to buy it but had some bills come up and couldnt afford to mess with it. Not a huge mopar guy but i do like the out of norm cars like these.

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

Would love to find one of those!

[@jeffreyrigged]

@@ObsoleteAutomotive it was a beast but was 18 and made min wage at time. Same color as yours.

[@RaiderX948]

Super Cool.

[@user-fo6gk5sp8f]

I was surprised to see drums on the front of it!

“That’s not going anywhere.”

[@johnmaguire8689]

My earliest memory of our cop cars were 72 coronets

[@PassivePortfolios]

This was the base economy model. It's a pretty big car for a 225 slant 6 engine to move around. A 318 would be more suitable.

[@Clyde-2055]

The slant-6 did fine if you weren’t in a hurry …

[@randolfo1265]

@@Clyde-2055- Yeah, and cars were not so loaded and heavy. I had a Gremlin with six banger, three on the floor. Went like hell.

[@Clyde-2055]

@@randolfo1265 - The Gremlins were quick with the six. Same for the first-gen Mustangs with the 3-speeds, and the early Dodge Darts. Today’s cars are heavy as hell. That’s also how the little Honda HF’s from the late 80’s we’re getting better fuel mileage than today’s techno-marvels.

[@michaeladamo1188]

So cool! No reverse light on the lower dash?

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

There isn’t on this car. I think it was mainly on floorshift/4 speed cars.

[@daviddisandro821]

you are proof that chrysler, through the years has made some amazing products. I am curious to see what stellantis will do with this company. will it prosper or fade away?

225 cubic inch with a 1 barrel. It’s not quite that bad! Check out the latest posted video for some driving segments in this Coronet.
