Uncle Phil drives the '73 three on the tree Valiant

[@dvaeogreg5557]

Love it. I've had a 63 Valiant Signet for 36 years: non power steering and 3 speed column shift. Knee knocker aftermarket AC. First week I had it driving home from Yuma to LA I stalled it in traffic on the transition to the 101 Fwy due to a slight grade. It sat for a week after I got it home before I got up the gumption to try again. Must have gotten the hang of it, eventually. Going out today to buy some ice and take a drive. Great videos. Your Uncle Phil is a trip.

[@MrGoldenwaffler]

Nothing beats the sound of a slant 6

[@carlstclair-it8ij]

How true as I had one in a 1976 Dodge Aspen

[@MrGoldenwaffler]

Yup. My mom had a 78 aspen with a slant 6 and i learned to drive in it. That sound sticks with me

[@johndrake2729]

It'd be cool to see Uncle Phil drive a two-door AMC Hornet with a three-on-the-tree and an i6!

[@dvndvdsn1]

i like uncle phil, he seems like a cool guy

[@knighthawk86855]

The man knows how to shift that 3 in the tree.... Awesome job!

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

knighthawk86855 yep he's driven them more than I have.

[@carlstclair-it8ij]

+WhoSaidTyler My dad had a 1960 Rambler 4 door with 195.6 six and 3 on the tree

[@mrceleb2006]

It's very rare for a 1970s Mopar to have a 3-on-the-tree! I guess most Valiants of the 1970s had the Torqueflite 3-speed automatic, eh?

[@knighthawk86855]

@@mrceleb2006 my 68 Plymouth Belvedere 2 door club coupe has a 225 slant 6 with 3 on the tree so much fun to drive.

[@dennisleporte2327]

Like riding a bike lol.

[@tonymunn]

Everybody needs a cool Uncle Phil. You got one.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

He's something else.

[@roadmaster720]

uncle phil sounds like a trip and no dull moments with him around. there usually is one in every family.

[@martentrudeau6948]

In 1973 that Valiant was a basic car, the slant six, 3 speed manual, and no power steering. But it was known to be durable and dependable too.

[@natesaunders5628]

the tongue says it all he's having a blast haha

[@matrox]

I am surprised a guy of his age did not know how to start this car. All cars then was push in the clutch, pump the gas and slightly hold the throttle while turning the key unless it was already warmed up.

[@bikdav]

If it’s like my old CHEVY NOVA, you had to keep your foot slightly on the gas while starting it.

[@RetroVintageItems27]

I like the distinctive sound of those old Chrysler starters. But, I'm sure everybody says that.. It is interesting to watch uncle Phil, and a bit hilarious.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

He's a trip.

[@kalebbrown93]

The Highland Park Humming Bird some have called it. So distinctive.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Kaleb Brown Back in the 80's you heard that sound all the time, every day.

[@71plymouth.]

me too. They have a special sound.

[@71plymouth.]

ojars zvaigzne Hahaha,yep. Some of the big block starters sounded a tad different but most of them did. And just about *all* small block mopars had this same starter sound. Hahaha,I've only hear my dads in his 71 Charger with 318... I still haven't started my 71 Satellite 383 or my 70 Charger also with 383 so I won't know what they sound like for a while... You could view my startup of the charger video on my page if you want (pass all the ''test'' videos which will be cleared up tomorrow. or you can just press the ''TEST'' video and see it as my intro of the video I'm making). +1 to you.

[@SootyMangabey.]

Awesome Way to spend Time With your Uncle.. I Remember This Car Fondly From The Movie Duel With Dennis Weaver

[@moonbeamskies3346]

Cars like that take us back to when driving took skill and focus! Nowadays people expect the car to do everything with minimal input from the driver.

[@Selectrolux]

This is an awesome video. God bless you and your Uncle Phil. As an old car lover, this was a fun video to watch.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Thank you. This is Uncle Phil's car now.

[@southernfarmtech]

I love Uncle Phil's humor...one of a kind. :-)

[@joesjunkgarage]

Thanks for making this wonderful video! Really enjoyed watching you and your uncle take a drive. Gave me a big smile! Thanks again!

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Haha, he's a hoot.

[@SPTSuperSprinter156]

your uncle is a right laugh, thanks for sharing.

[@tractorfix]

See how uncle Phil lets go of the wheel after a turn. He knows how to drive manual steering

[@randelmckay5606]

this was great!!! thank you for bringing back cool memories.I had a 1980 dodge stepvan,,ex postal van,,,it had the slant six and the 3 on the tree as well as no power steering lol...love how you have kept the car original,,even the radio...lots of idiots Chuck the old radio then there goes part of the cars value!!!! even love the horn...my van sounded like it as well...the guy driving was even cool....take care of her and keep her good..thanks for the video..m

[@discerningmind]

I don't know how long it's been since your Uncle Phil drove a 3 on the tree, but he did a good job. He was also real good at figuring out the wonky stuff like getting the key out.Fun video. Thanks.

[@medicated-hamster]

man i LOVE this car!! there is 1 for sale in the Netherlands for around 3000 dollars.And it is going to be MINE....ALL MINE

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Another awesome Plymouth Valiant video! I remember when cars like this were driving the roads. At the time, I didn't find the Plymouth as attractive as the Dodge Dart of the same vintage, but I find them way more attractive than what's being offered today. :)

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Thanks..yes I remember too. They were everywhere. Girls drove them all the time also ;-)

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Did they? :)

[@jasoncarpp7742]

I was too young to drive at the time this car was on the market. I was born in 1973. But I remember seeing these years later, probably when I was 7 or 8 yrs of age.

[@roadmaster720]

that valiant reminds me of a '65 plymouth fury i bought for $75.00 in 1975. everything stripped down, everything manual like this valiant, a slant 6 engine and 3 speed manual trans. you almost had to put a cheater bar on the steering wheel. drove that clunker for 3 yrs, put 50,000 miles ( had 75,000 miles on it when i bought it- ~ 125,000 when it was sold, todays cars do run longer than then )on it and resold it as a parts car for $50.00 in 1978, a michigan car with too many winters and rusted out from the salt. i was in my early 20's then so driving the car w/o power steering didn't bother me or working the clutch then in stop and go traffic. had to work on it some in those 3 yrs but it got me where i was going and to work. i'd be like uncle phil in it now with back and leg troubles. enjoyed your video. the sound of that valiant brought back a lot of memories of that '65 fury.

[@RodBeauvex]

75 dollars. I decided to check that out. That's 383.83 dollars in today's money. You can't buy so much as a bare rusted frame for that today.

[@matthewgreen8335]

Pop eye steering!!! I miss those.

[@insertname1470]

My uncle Larry loved Dodges and Fords.He was one damn good mechanic.My dad and my uncle use to argue over Fords and Chevys.

[@mrceleb2006]

11:22 - So glad he honked the horn!

[@Coronet_shop]

I feel ya uncle Phil hate those buzzers

[@johndrake2729]

That classic Mopar start up sound ...

[@brianeastman3547]

That is one sweet old car

[@runforit420]

I have heard stories about three on the tree transmissions my dad used to have in his pickups from the 1960s and 1970s. This video was very informative. 225 slant six?

[@insertname1470]

All my uncles that liked me have passed away. If I had an uncle Phil I would give him that car once it was working 100%.

[@GeorgeBonez]

Hey uncle Phil don't forget to get the car moving before you try to turn the wheel in that thing. It'll come back to ya and if it don't your nephew will be quick to give you instruction.. ha And oh btw don't stick your fingers in the fan ok! ;) Damn whippersnappers know everything these days! ha

[@charlesgrob7348]

And glad he wasn't leaning any harder on the grille - aspens and volares are much more fragile yet !

[@carlstclair-it8ij]

the aspen and volare was Chrysler ' s worst as I had a 1976 Dodge Aspen with the Slant Six that the engine and Trans outlasted the body . I had the A 904 Torqueflite Trans with the old reliable 225 slant six .

[@joserafaelgrangefuenmayor7744]

Se quedó sin dientes

[@204stealthh8]

Noticed a Plymouth fury in the garage

[@crotalusjbc]

Is every A body dash cracked in the same spot? I have a 73 Dart and 74 Duster, same spot!

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

I can't answer that, but some of those dashes crack into a hundred pieces and then some of them never crack.

[@butterpants12]

Funny, my 67 barracudas dash is fine. Just flakes of pain chipping and some yellowing.

[@iaagg]

What nice "old" guy.

[@TriodeLuvr]

Phil's starting technique needs work. Good thing he didn't have anyplace to go.

[@charlesgrob7348]

Old boy didn't do too bad, but woulda been more exciting to see a gal manhandlin' that cool mopar 👍!!

[@kevinfrazier9241]

Had a 64 with push button on the dash

[@matthewgarvey1928]

One cool old guy

[@mrceleb2006]

1:28 - What a nasty buzzer!

[@nathanielfarley286]

It was the Mopar buzzer used untill the 90s

[@mrceleb2006]

Really?

[@matthewstorm5188]

They also had a different buzzer if the door happened to be open while the engine was running. That one just sounded plain funny, especially when the pitch of it would waver for no apparent reason.

[@Moletastic69]

'67 Fury in the garage?

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

[@TheCorvetteBen]

Hey man! As I was watching your videos I thought hey our vids are really similar and I believe our love for old classic cars is to! I was wondering if you would be willing to do some sory of collaboration between our two channels, that way my subcribers an find you and yours can find mine! Let me know if you would want to talk a little more in depth about it. Thanks! Ben

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Thanks Ben, I sent you a PM.

[@styldsteel1]

How is uncle Phil these days?

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Good. He came down for his birthday(on my other channel).

[@inkey2]

my older sister bought one of these brand new.....a gold 2-door with a black vinyl roof, 225 slant 6. She got it cheap because it had no power steering and the dealer couldn't move it. Well her good deal was not so good. From driving it a few years she developed a life long problem with her shoulder

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Ouch.

[@roadmaster720]

those mopar manual steering boxes were tight. no power steering on a 65 fury i had. almost had to put a cheater bar on the steering wheel sometimes.
