"Fireturd" is a GM car. What you have is the rare "Turdrino".
Correct there 😁
I just can't get my head around people thinking their cars are valuable yet they leave them to rot outdoors
Absolutely
I know one guy at this moment who has a Terminator Cobra sitting outside his garage to make room for literal boxes of garbage inside
@drewschumann1 sounds about right
Seeing these cars sell at auction for $30- 220k people assume their car is still worth $10-20k. Just a $3k paint job is all it needs (in their mind)
A panel man with lots of free time can fix it.
I love the no BS channels, keep up the GREAT Work 👍👍
Much appreciated
Pull the valve covers off to get an idea of the health of the motor. When trying to get it going try loosening the distributor and play with the timing. Sounds like it's too advanced.
The old starter was bad, I grabbed a later model one out of the junk pile so I didn't expect it to be much better everything I've changed has been junk sitting around the shop.
Right on... now FOCUS!
I knew she'd fire! I love a good 302. At the very least the engine is worth rebuilding even if the rest of the car isn't. Lots of real good parts on it. The glass intact is huge. Good job!
Absolutely I knew it probably would after it started turning
A shame all the better cars like that - that were crushed.....leaving ones like that.
Excellent Russ cheers 🥂 😊
I fully believe she's gonna spark up. As long as the points are good and the distributor cap is intact and the rotor is clean and it has fuel. It should fire up.
BOOM BABY!
Back in 69, I bought a 70 Torino... same interior... Mine was acleveland 351, 4 onna floor
@@williamhutchinson6879 very cool
Great video Brotha!!!
Thanks Bryce
Fun times working on a old vehicle's
I knew it was a runner when you said that it spun-over.
The chances got high when it broke free
I like those valve covers.
Best looking steel factory covers they made
If you can weld, the world is your oyster.
Absolutely
I'm sure you can recoup quite a bit of money off of the good trim/under hood parts/glass pieces? What engine is in this car? 351?
It's a 302 car
That thing may be a more solid project than the Mustang. I say, build it!
Good, starter. Rebuilt, carburetor. Just, my 2 cents.
And change the oil, hoses, belts etc it would be a solid runner
@@HotRodGuyGarage Got to have the basics, to get it to stay running. Reuse the starter and carburetor, on other engines. Don't know what you've got, till you can keep it running. What, in the world?
DRIVEN only on Sundays-runs-CHEAP-inquire within.
It would be a cool car to fix up enough to make it safe and drive it in it's rusty glory
Could be with some reinforcements
Could be those ancient spark plug wires. Id go ahead and replace the points and plug wires for sure. Both my 58 cadillac and 68 Mustang are still on points and i can tell when they start to not run smoothly its time to check the points, and they are usually the culprit.
Years ago we were stuck on a trail when the fuel pump went out…. Took a rear gear lube bottle and taped it upside down to the A pillar ran a fuel line to the vent on carb filled bottle with gas and ever so often gave the bottle a squeeze to fill the bowls. I have used that as a make shift get stuff to run system ever since. Just st an idea
Great idea
Country bumpkin garage! 😧😧😧
@@jeffgroves6280 been called worse
The Motorcraft plug wires, etc would be service part replacements - the Autolite name was still used by Ford in '70. Ford switched to the Motorcraft name in '72. Makes me think that car may have been dealer serviced until it was left to rot. What a shame. I have that same Snap-On flex head ratchet, bought in the '70s.
It was traded back into the selling dealer in 1972 from the paperwork I have
It’ll run , how well is the question and if everything will come back around
There's definitely some stuck or bent valves. There's a lot of lope when you crank it. Take the valve covers off and tap them with a brass hammer. I've seen your buddy Vice Grip do it.😅
It's open manifolds lol the exhaust is completely rotted off
I like your cars
Thanks
couple meowcanics there.
Only real help I got 😆
coyote swap it! 🤣
@@vickslab4608 not worth it 😆
@@HotRodGuyGarage ya too bad it was sitting outside and not in some barn where the rust will be kept at bay.
Sounded worth a freshn up and put in something else
Quiet possible
I am watching Sleeperdude getting some old vehicles from a horder that just passed.
They were looking at a car by what looked like this Torino. Did you get your Torino there too?
Absolutely the same place, he doesn't live far from me
I believe that if it’s possible, you are the that can do it. All without prep work! Lost interest in Big Channels
At least there's signs of life from it so all is not lost
Damn shame, it must have been a really nice car at one point until somebody decided to park it in the woods as an 'investment' for later. Even if it never drives again, at least the parts on it can go to keeping other ones like it on the road.
@@RolandTHX absolutely sad it had to die in the woods maybe it's got one last trip in it later on
Yes, really nice WHEN NEW.
Well you did get it running but that' car has had it she needs to back to the grave yard it's final resting place
