BARNFIND 1968 PLYMOUTH FURY-Will it Run Drive?

This 1968 Plymouth Fury was stored for many years in a barn.
It hasn’t ran in over 20 years!
Can we get this beauty up and running and take you for a WILD ride??

[@timbarnes4811]

As a proud owner of a ‘67 Fury, it’s awesome to see these old c-bodies get a second chance at being back on the road again! 😎🍻

[@robertgrimley9077]

This old mechanic is salivating wishing he was with you two with a wrench in each hand ready to crawl under the hood. I follow you on the other channel and now I am here as well. FIRE IT UP AND SHRED THE TIRES!

[@G.A.N.G101]

We shredded it alright! 😂

[@jimthompson9992]

I have to tell you, young man...I was so hoping to see a 426 street hemi and 727 trans in this ride....🤣🤣🤣🤣 But seriously, is this one going to be Taleah's first car??? I'm guessing she would be hell on wheels in this considering she was such a good driver in your truck! Keeping my fingers crossed for you and your lovely wife when those beautiful young ladies ALL are on the road!!! Take care, be safe and God bless!!🇺🇸

[@G.A.N.G101]

Lol yeah we would’ve liked that too! Not sure on Taleah’s first car as we’re probably going to have quite a few cars come through before she starts driving. We’ll see! Take care Jim

12:40 Love how Tylynn reaches the cat out over the engine so he can check it out: "It's okay, Kitty --- you can look at the engine now; it's turned off, so it can't hurt you at the moment."

[@glenbo2464]

My Mom had a 4 door blue and white 68 Fury 3. The body was straight and interior so so but it ran amazing ! The guy had put a truck 318 in it with glass packs so it sounded good too. Paid $ 400 for the car and she drove it everywhere and it never quit other then running out of gas once ! lol

[@Quacks0]

11:11 Tylynn's like, "Good thinking, Kitty --- YOU wanna get further away from that noisy and potentially-flames-belching machine, so maybe I should follow your instincts and move back a bit myself!" :P :D

[@brianandglendaharkin9457]

It’s a 2 barrel Carter with bigger jets than say a valiant 318. Should of started it on 2 stroke fuel mix to help lobe it on start up I would left all plugs out an put some inox down the plug holes let it sit a while turning it with all the plugs outs. Nice car 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@Moletastic69]

yes! don't wipe out those rings, do it Vicegrip Garage style, with 2 stroke fuel.

[@garysuderman174]

For that sticky lifter(s), while engine is running, just pour slowly, some trany fluid into carb while moving the throttle linkage to pour on the fuel while pouring ATF. It's going to smoke a lot but you can actually hear the lifter(s) quiet down. When I was 17 my friends dad, Richard Larrigan did that to my 67 Impala and it worked perfectly. I'm 65 next month so I really appreciate the older rigs. Have fun with the lift part lol. Maybe not burn out the tires after it's going flat? LOL. I just subscribed so keep the videos coming.

[@Olds_Gold]

Just a little advice points condenser and rotor bug always change them before you try to get running it'll save you time and it'll only cost you less than $20 I've been saving old cars trucks and tractors since the 80s . Restaurant style ketchup bottles for putting gas in the carburetor works great and only cost about $1

In a pinch, you can always remove the top radiator hose at the thermostat housing, and jam the thermostat open. At least you won't take a chance in overheating it.

[@79tazman]

That car is in great shape if you clean up the interior and get a new top that thing will get some good money. I can't get over how clean the interior is for sitting so long is there even a rip in the seats or anything

[@G.A.N.G101]

Yeah it should clean up quite well. The seats are in very good shape. I think I seen a small puncture in the seat part somewhere. We’ll see.

I was always the starter. From the time I could reach the pedals I was behind the wheel cranking the engines. Wish I was there to do the same. Unlike your helper I couldn't see over the wheel. 🤣 "Do the screwdriver thing." 🤣🤣🤣 You'll get to do it soon enough. And probably more and more as time goes on. Poor Joe has PTSD from workin' on cars with you now. 🤣🤣🤣 FYI - In case y'all didn't know you can choke an old car by slammin' down the gas 3 times. No more or you'll flood it and have to wait forever for it to drain.

[@UserRandJ]

I had a Carter 625 4 barrel on a warm 289 years ago, if I remember correctly, on a fomoco 4 barrel manifold. That little thing made all the right noise. But I also once bought a 67 sprint off an old lady with a 351W, and that thing made all the right noise and I could be somewhere else fast! Always enjoyed embarrasing the Subaru WRX boys in that.

[@vincenzoc4275]

My mom had a 1968 Fury and it always overheated!we changed thermostat and radiator and it still would overheat

[@G.A.N.G101]

A good shroud and a good fan is key. The clutch fans will wear out and not spin like it should. And then it could also be a bad head gasket.

[@vincenzoc4275]

I think that it might have been the heater core because the passenger side floor was always wet, that thing was always pegged at hot!

Oh yea if the coolant runs out that’ll do it!

[@sasz2107]

29:15 - Not a 13 mm, it's a 1/2 inch. A 13 mm will work, but they were not using metric parts on these cars. And by the way, ALL Chrysler products in the 60s and 70s had temperature gauges and ammeters, even on the most basic models, which to me was an advantage.

[@heathmichaelhomestead4462]

Did i here you say it has a 8&3/4 rear end? Im just curious if your gonna do any work to that. I recently got a 62 dart thats got that rear end. And i put disc brake all the way around on it but having trouble getting an axle seal for the back now

[@G.A.N.G101]

Yea it’s an 8 3/4. Seals should be readily available for them yet.

[@sasz2107]

A 318 V8 never came with a 1 barrel carburetor. That's a 2 barrel carburetor on it. Also the coil is rarely the cause of a no start condition. The condenser is a WAY more likely cause.

Thanks for the advice. The cradle under this particular car will not bend. And two jack stands would’ve definitely been a better option. We’ll definitely try to be a bit more mindful on the safety end of things. Have a great day!

Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN)
