Haha Steve would crawl up your arse if their was a chance there might be a car there to talk about hahahahahaha 😆 🤣 😂 😜 😉

[@darrenbrisson4336]

If I was Steve I would've bought the 59 coronet cop car at the Texas auction that was the coolest car there those cars have a real scary look you come ripping up the ass of people with that car you'll send shivers up their spines and they'll pull over to let you go by the car is even scarier looking then Christine with those eye brows I would've done it up as a chip patrol car

Great seeing these cars! Steve history lessons abound! 😊

[@charlessmith3758]

Geez I remember my GF in 1985 looking for a cheap used car. We came across a 1964 Polara in Vancouver Canada. 1300 bucks, no rust, good condition, 413 max wedge. I told her she had to buy this car immediately. She ended up buying a 1972 Vega, clouds of smoke POS.

[@Daniel-fd3wp]

That car is not even similar she got a Chevy Vega that’s like a Ford pinto. Oh well I guess that’s woman.🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@jimjungle1397]

I bought a 1964 Polara 500 convertible with a 426 Street Wedge from the original owner, that was a mechanic at a Dodge dealer. I was in high school at the time.

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

That was a good deal even back then.

[@urbanurchin5930]

......did you immediately break-up with her ??

[@rickwhite3181]

Aw too bad max wedge wow

[@utterden]

I had a 64 Dart GT years ago. I started as a slant 6 then had a 273 in it and when I got it there was a 230 HP 2BBL 318 under the hood backed up by a 4 speed manual and a Hurst shifter. I loved that car and it really got my MOPAR addiction going.

[@88SC]

I’d love to find a ‘63 Dart convertible. Red is my least favorite color for those, but I’d make an exception in a heartbeat these days.

[@deanstevenson6527]

This is why I love your channel. Re-heated Rudimentary Rides.

[@josephnovak8391]

Would love to see updates on the restorations of these convertibles, especially the red Dart.

[@vincentrusso4514]

Thanks for the videos.

[@felixlafuente9714]

Thank you, Steve!

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Man what a beautiful collection of convertible Mopars! Definitely worth saving!👌😎👍

[@99somerville]

The red Dart would be a nice cruiser.

[@vettekid3326]

My older brother's second car was a 1963 Dart GT, triple black that had a factory four speed and positraction. He got in 1969 from someone going overseas to Vietnam

[@hotrodhendrix1]

Texas has multiple climates. Areas down south will get rust although less than rust belt cars. If you are looking for the rust free Texas cars you are looking primarily west Texas.

[@kc0lif]

1969 plymouth fury 3 nice car.

[@RC-cc4rv]

Get well Steve!!!

[@tomtheplummer7322]

My mom had a used 67 Barracuda. Red paint and interior, white rag top.

[@thousandoaksauto1696]

Steve M., Thanks for showing those cars!!! I own a '63 dart GT, hard top, currently in the resto process. HIPO 360, 700r4 trans, for the overdrive. 8 & 3/4 with 3.55:1 posi. It will be fun to cruise around!!!

[@kevincruz4045]

Early A Bodys are great little cars! Easy to upgrade too!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

My son got a 63 dart gt convertible given to him, sadly it was really really rusty. So much so the torsion bars punched through. He’s now got a 76 hornet x we’re putting a 304 in

[@stoveguy2133]

My 67 sport fury did not have scallop in rear qtr panel. It was smooth.

[@takoma5]

Thanks Steve with the magnet Magnante, you R tha man !!

[@rgbigdog]

Looks like that Dart had a fire around that gas cap.

[@davidsoom1551]

Get Well!

[@bewilderment9268]

On the 63 Dart, those look like reverse light delete covers and different trim. My 63 GT has reverse lights and a large Dart GT nameplate centered in between. Different options l guess.

[@GMCJay_lly]

Commenting for support

[@dowen1511]

Wow there was only like 135 of them 880 converts probably only 20 left out there.

[@aa64912]

I knew someone who purchased a 1963 dart convertible just like that one. I don’t think they paid new for it what that one sold for at auction.

[@jimjungle1397]

Go to Houston if you want to see rust in Texas. Many convertibles lack air conditioning, but of course some have it.

[@alexkuteron5775]

Love ❤️ this red one ☝️

[@jefflilyea4669]

Bought a 64 gt V8 4sp conv. In NY for $2g solid rockers and front torsion bar cross member but rotted under the cowl sold it for $250.

[@maidenrulz73]

That GT is really nice

[@paulwhite6250]

A 318 engine seems different in a 62 Dart. They were built to be a fuel efficient vehicle with a slant six.

[@robertschreiber8099]

Sorry for going off topic, here; @ 6;10. What is that Plymouth, in the background?! If it was a Caddy, I'd call it a Flowercar.

[@N2YTA]

The '69 Plymouth Fury is classis American. Nowhere else in the world did they build big giant convertibles (or coupes for that matter) for the general public. That car must have been a joy to own and drive. The lack of things like AC and power windows was not an issue back then (I remember first hand) and the 318 had plenty of guts for normal daily driving. . . . . . I really like that Dart too.

[@damiandelapp5490]

I dig the dart I had a 63 valiant with the same leaning tower of power good engine run forever if you kept oil and water in it…my friends dad had a fury that got T-boned with low miles like 40K on it, we pulled the 383hp w/trans and dropped in to his worn out 318 Cuda car moved after that!

[@MikeTheSlacker]

I so wish could have gotten in on that, but I didn't stumble onto you in time. I've watched all of them

[@jeffreybond6491]

Growing up we had a 1960 Chrysler Windsor Convertible, Golden Lion, 383 V8; being a 413 block, factory debored to 4.02" bore with 2V carb @ 305 HP & push button Automatic.... Color: Autumn Haze Poly "Gun Mental Grey" & power Black top and White seats with Black accents, dash and carpet; fax trunk lid spare tire, huge tail fins... kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2Sqip5tiNeUbK8. Also a 1968 "Mist Turquoise Metalic" Chrysler 300 Convertible, with a White power top and bucket seats w/center buddy seat/arm rest, of course black carpet and dash... 440 V8 350 HP, Automatic.. My brother reliving our childhood: has recently bought another 1968 300 Chrysler Convertible for his Winter place in Florida... !! Lol 😆

[@SteveMagnante]

Those tall deck (RB series) 383's were oddballs! Especially when they have the TWO BARREL intake manifold. That's the ONLY tall-deck intake manifold that isn't a 4, 6 or 8 barrel! Weird stuff. THANKS for writing, Steve Magnante

[@orlandonostagiafever1964]

You could get those Darts real cheap back in 1991 great little cars with a 225 slant six.

[@jonathangehman4005]

I didn't see a selling price for the 880, do you remember what it sold for? I thought hard about bidding on 3 vehicles in the hoard but couldn't get past the fact there's already 3 nice old rustfree Mopars waiting behind my shop. It's a freaking desease, lol

[@Ray56z]

All well worth putting on the street!

[@TheGforcead]

Hey Steve, at 6:10-6:12 there is a Dodge Coronet someone converted to a Ranchero/El Camino car-truck. Did you do a walk around video of that and if so how do I look it up, looks like it would be a fun video because it looks like it was done really good! Let me know something guy!

[@stevehartz178]

I have a sugge.do a show on Chevy phase 3.very rare.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

What are the chances the Slant fired up and drove the Dart on to a trailer? Steve - any info on the truck sitting in front of the Fury?

[@russchiappa4870]

With minimal effort that could be done

[@lilmike2710]

I would be willing to wager that it could have been done. I can guarantee that it could have been started and driven to a parts store with very minimal effort.

We had a very rare 66 valiant convertible custom 200 Canadian car that's a dodge dart with plymouth badging they only made 17,000 and some of all 66 Canadian valiants

Canada had a fairly small population in 1966 and fewer drove Plymouths and even fewer drove Valiants, so yeah, fairly rare.

Dart is so clean but someone still gave up on it? Clearly people in Texas have too many rust free cars to choose from!

[@SteveMagnante]

Hello Spaminator Triple Six, yes indeed, I have repeatedly found that in dry, arid climates - especially Southern California (where I lived for 17 years and got started on this whole Junkyard Crawl thing) - the folks just don't know how clean their older cars really are. I got my heart broken thousands of times watching as clean, rust free vehicles of EVERY description went to the Pick-A-Part junkyards, sat for 30 days to be parted out then went to the CRUSHER only to be repopulated again a day later with more cars!
