It's cold! Will my old project cars and trucks run? These cars have been sitting through a recent snow storm where the temps got down to -2 F. Anything under 40 F is a tough start on anything old!

We had a 77 Plymouth Volare, same color as yours except ours was all the buckskin color. It was the perfect daily grocery getter. 225 slant six, automatic, power steering, power breaks and air conditioning. Bench seats with the real artificial leather, hand crank windows, and am radio. It was the neighbor lady's car. I'd always been close to her, did a lot of work around her place growing up. After she'd had a couple strokes and couldn't drive anymore she gave me the car. She bought it new, I received it in 1985 with 3500 miles. It has to be in the top three favorite cars I've owned, even more special to me as it was from a really nice lady I'll never forget.
Mine was green, slant 6, ran like a clock. Lotta good times in that one.
My dad had one in brown 2 door.
I had a 73 Duster. Slant 6. Great car. Except for the Rust
We had a 78 Vollari. it was one of the worst cars ever made. Especially, because it replaced the valiant, which we also had, and which was unkillable, except when my dad forgot to put oil in it for a prolonged period of time.
One notable incident I remember was when the Vollari’s hood latch failed, while we were on the Freeway on a bridge over the St. Lawrence river and the hood flew open completely obscuring the road. Good times
@@danscott3880 , yep. That would have been my car of choice if I could have had one.
Remember one thing with old Mopar automatics - if they've been sitting, pop the transmission into neutral so the front pump starts up. The front pump doesn't operate in park, so the fluid doesn't move and won't pressurize the internals. Thus, when you go from park to reverse or drive...it's hard on the tranny
That’s what I do with every Mopar 👍🏻 Good advice.
There are transmission shift kits that make the pump operate in park.
True, perhaps I should have said "Stock" Mopar transmissions.@@DishNetworkDealerNEO
Dylan thanks for braving the cold.......VERY FUN!!!!! LOVE YOUR TASTE in cars!!!!!!
Proud of all you younger guys keeping the rusty gold alive!!!!!!!!!!!
Treats for Dixie PLZ!!!!!
I had a yellow 72 short bed in 1988. It was originally a slant 6 car. I got it with a 318 with 360 heads, 340 cam and intake. I put a 1978 front clip on it, and I used the disk brake spindles of that truck as well. I took the ignition out of a station wagon at the scrapyard for it. And lastly the rear end came out of a 1968. It was a screamer till 100 mph. I was a 19 yo in the Navy. Memories!
For some reason, I've always liked the sound of an old Mopar starter. Every time I hear one, I think back to the 1973 Dodge B100 my grandpa owned when I was a kid.
I'm currently the proud owner of a 1977 Dodge B300 dually RV (360 V8, 2bbl, A727, 63K on the clock) and I'm in the process of getting it back on the road as a flatbed tow rig. It's going to be a tribute vehicle (copying the aforementioned 73's paint scheme on the sheet metal part) to my late grandpa when I get it all fixed up.
It’s like looking out any window on a Canadian fall morning and watching your neighbors getting ready to leave for work.
Specifically fall, winter is not so fun to look out the window
that volare is my dream car. wanted one since i was a kid. my grandfather had one. it was the first car i remember him owning, he loved that car. his son stole it and crashed it after my grandfather kicked him out for not having a job. he never had a car he liked as much after. since i was 7 i wanted one. hold onto her, you're very lucky.
my first car was a 1979 Dodge Aspen 2 door with a super six slant in it and it would start every morning no matter how cold like your truck started but it would take a few more cranks over but once she fired up it would sit and run. That car was the best car I have owned that would fire up so easy in the cold temps and was like the car loved it.
hey dylan, life hack from the northerners : use a fine bristle shop broom to get the snow off, might be a little hard on the paint but beats shoving it off with your hands. try and get it to run on as few pumps as possible (my cars at 10 to -20 take 1-3 pumps) and if it doesnt run wide open throttle to clear out the gas. washing out the cylinders is real hard on em
We had -27.4 degrees Fahrenheit (-33 Celsius) in central Sweden last night 🥶, now it's only -14.26 degrees Fahrenheit 😜
The first dependable car I ever owned was a '77 Volare it was a blue 4-door with a 225 \6 with the 2bbl - SUPER SIX option that came backed by a 727 automatic - that car was tuff even though it had the grill and radiator busted when I bought in for $125 cash at the salvage yard. I just happened to have a replacement radiator from a Aspen that bolted right in.
My first car was a 76 Volare. The thing was a dog! It had the slant 6 in it, and it couldn't get out of its own way! LOL!
A friend of mine had a wagon with the 6, it always ran but like you stated wasn't going to set any speed records.
The Mustang II was putting on a bit of a show with those fireballs😂
Puts new meaning to the phrases got a light? 😮😮😂😂😂
You have more winter than here in Minnesota. Cold but no snow. Million thanks. St.Paul,Minnesota.
That old 51 flathead sure sounds good. Nice car!
I hope you can make another vid on the 51 ford soon, I got my 51 over the summer and have loved working on it during the winter. Absolutely look forward to all your vids.
To be honest, I just wanted to hear the fire truck run! Love those cab overs and want one!! I'll be waiting for the next fire truck video!
Shoebox Ford cars 48-53 yes sedan,club coupe,4 Dr coupe, Tudor yeah i like them too even me being a big gm fan,id love to find a fairly solid 49-50 Tudor club coupe with all the chrome trim and build a rat rod out of it with either a factory flathead V8 and a three spd column shift manual transmission or a cammed 352,390 fe and the same transmission idea and straight pipes and glass pack mufflers!!
The Fire Engine needs that Tag Team of Dylan and Briar........One for the crank and the other to pour the gas!!!!!
No kidding. It’s a mess to crank even when it’s warm and I ran out of patience. Fun truck though!
Awesome Truck Dylan!!!! WHo gets to own a FIRE TRUCK???....DYLAN DOES!!!!!!!!@@DylanMcCoolVideo
One thing I love about you is how unpretentious you are. If you screw up you own up to it! Great videos, man!
I morbidly humerus watching these southern people dealing with what we deal every winter!
Good morning 😃 Dylan I hope 🤞 you can get all of the cars 🚗 cranked up and running 🏃 you have a good day and don’t get too cold 🥶 you ate a top mechanic 🧑🔧
Congratulations on all the starts . Glad that there still alive Dylan. Mopar’s were the easiest starts. The Fire truck just a big engine that needs an oil warmer or lot of battery. Thanks for sharing.
❤️👍💯👊
That Volare is nice 😍
Amazing that you was able to start that many. Thanks 👍 for sharing,stay warm 🥵.
Beautiful Plymouth Volare! Please take care of yourself!
sweet i wake up and get to watch Dylan cold start his projects
That bush really liked you 😂
My first car 1982 Chevrolet Malibu sedan 265 V8 it was fun car drive, flat black Oldsmobile rally rims I miss the old girl
Mr Dylan Mr Dylan, I drive old cars everyday. The gas is so volatile today it evaporates out of the carb overnight. If it hasn't been up graded to/ electric fuell pump, you should drop a little fresh CLEAN fuel into the top of the carb into the fuel bowel thru the vent to save the battery, starter & alternator. I do it everyday. Also the cold start for carbs was 1 pump shot or 2 if really cold, then hold gaspedal 1/3 down. I worked in emissions back in the day. Pumping the pedal is not the same as choke. Choke atomizes the gas, pumping the pedal puddles it. Puddled fuel doesn't evaporate until high manifold vacuum unless you pump it while cranking. Even then pumping is very marginal. ben/ michigan
Gee thaaaaannnkkks Dylan(sarcasm intended) for reminding me I need to run all my cars a bit today. Charger has sat for a week but is finally defrosted! Jeep has run all week, TN weather is wild in 2024! However, The Shadow hasnt been started for a couple of weeks or more. Its too cold for me to stay out there and run it for long. Ps. I know you do know to add HEET or some other product to cars that sit to prevent gas line freezing. Stay warm and be careful out in the cold, and your baby girl will be out playing in the snow soon enough😊
That’s about like my old Dakota I live in Kentucky and mine starts right up -3 30 any temp she fires up 290,000 miles on that 3.9L magnum v6 love that old truck
I love Mopars automatic choke system that goes onto he factory intake that has the spring that heats up and opens the choke automatically. They are the best choke system ever and they work so awesome better than the electric chokes
I'm glad u went back to the polara I was looking forward to seeing that one run I love those big c body mopars and it's not easy to find that style of polara either
How to warm up a car:
Make the carb catch fire,
Walk away.
Put it out.
Start the car because the intake and carc are hot.
I love the rims on the shot body Mustang!!!!!!
I like how your dog just disapears from infront of the neon @20:07
The Volare would make someone a good Power Tour car. Not a looker but it is rare.
It has AC so you’re right! Just not very “Hot Rod”.
I like the Volare
Love all the cars, you're the reason I got into cars today, been working on my very own 71 Cutlass S and not only do I look forward to seeing more videos but you continue to give me hope to hopefully own as many cars as you do and build a shop to work on those cars, you're awesome and you rock, thank you!
It cold here in Massachusetts but not that cold. I'm ready to move to Florida.
Bring lots if money. Home and car insurance is insane here. Too many people here don't speak English and don't have insurance. No accidents in 20 years them 2 years here I got hit by a guy who turned in front of me, totaled my first new car.
@@danielventura8073 Taxes in Massachusetts are the worst in the country that's why it's called Taxachussets
@@ccg1171How well I know. I lived in Massachusetts for over 20 years. After my wife died in 2018 I made it another three years then sold the house and moved back to my birthplace in Upper Michigan. Unfortunately the car insurance rates here are not fun. 😮😢😢
I wanted to hear the satellite. All good in Reedsburg Wisconsin it's cooler -2 try -21 degrees last week still Kool video
you're lucky the neon engine still runs.i had a 2000 & shortly after i had paid off the loan,the head gasket spung a leak & detroyed the lower end of the engine,all of the main & crank bearings were trashed!
Another F body guy here, as I've had 3 different Dodge Aspens. My current project 78 Aspen Wagon (Super 6 2bbl) is sitting outside as well. My 76 Aspen 318 2bbl ran 17.20s in the 1/4 dead stock in the early 1990s. 😁
I would love to own the Polara such a great car my cousin had a 2 door and it was unstoppable.
LOVE the dog supervising.
Hey Dylan that Volare is a nice chunk of money you have there I live in south bend indiana and I saw a brown one identical to yours go for$9500 bucks just a suggestion you might want to find a spot for it to preserve her.
Someone got ripped off 😂
yup this cold snap was a doozy.. We had 10 days of below zero and our low hit -51.... We made it above zero today
at -2 I would be more concerned about the Diesel starting than any of the other vehicles. Winterized Diesel in TN? I have a Diesel tractor and in SD I use winterized diesel, block heater, battery mantainer. In Minot ND where I was stationed. YOu would go through batteries, regualtors, Alternators, and starters on my Mopar I switched to Olds in the Mid 80s and Chevy pickup no issues starting at Minot.
Negative 2? Oh poor baby. We got down to -15 with wind chill of -20 already lol.
Negative 20 last Monday and my roadmaster was only one that started
Try almot 40 below , so cold your tires have flat spots . both cars started
Neg -2 is a heatwave compared to Montanas -36 with -50 wind chill temps last week.
Thanks for reminding me of my childhood😂. Great work
Amazing those old dogs fired up
The thing that kinda cracks me up about these channels, is it is supposed to be about saving cars, but in reality, it's just moving cars from one person's yard, to another person's yard. I mean they still end up sitting outside just in a different location. Still fun to fun to watch. Just funny is all....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Starting them cars and letting them run for a bit is the worst thing for them because sometimes the plugs get all fouled up because it running with the choke on and the next time you try to start them then you gotta clean plugs and it's no good on the exhaust system too because it makes a bunch of moisture in the exhaust and will rot the muffler out quicker the best thing is to allow the engine to run until it get's hot enough to to shut the choke off and to burn all the white moisture smoke out the exhaust. That's if you have a system on any of them cars that you want to save.
I’m in Jacksonville beach Florida and it was 24 degrees = that’s crazy for us = I’m sure it’s much more colder somewhere else = stay warm = and protect your animals please
Dylan I love the old Dodge trucks like body style way the sound when they start thank for braven the cold for awesome video.
The Volare looks nice. Have a 79 wagon with slant six.
I like that carb warmer on the Little Cobra, where can we get one? That Valore Dodge is sweet.
Hey Dylan! Love your channel. I have watched every video for years. It makes me profoundly sad to see a lot of your cars just sitting in a field, especially like your short bed Dodge (baby blue) truck that you spent so much effort on to make it nice. If I may..... Would you consider some constructive criticism? Maybe sell off some of those project cars? Whatever you keep, take each one and make it a project and make them somewhat nice and then sell or donate them?? Maybe fewer cars on the channel, and do more with each car. Turn them into something truly usable and then maybe sell them?Maybe at least put in a gravel or concrete parking area to store your cars on?
And for some of the cars you truly love and will keep (the blue Dart, The challenger you rebuilt, your old truck, etc...) - give them a special parking place by your shop and take turns driving them weekly so they stay in circulation and don't sit and deteriorate. Just want to say thanks for all the automotive education and entertainment over the years
The C900 534s always started fine cold.
Yes, the 390 2v sucked to Starr in the winter. Always had to have a lot of patience starting the '71 N600 we had on the farm. Plenty of times would flood the suckered because it hated the cold 🥶 😒. Would have rather had the 534 in that one but unfortunately had the 390 instead. 😮😢
i do like cold start videos, but any car in good condition should start even at -40C (yes these cars are old and not all so good). battery is the number 1 thing to fail in winter. i read in news that local car battery dealers had lots of work this winter in Finland and some batteries actually ran out
My husband and I love watching your videos!!! What is your other channel called? My husband said you have mentioned it before. I'm not sure if we missed the name of it.

Once the Mustang idles........Nice sound!!!!!!!
The junk yard digs satellite we definitely need a full build of that car
I like to say Dylan McCool you have some cool looking vehicles!!!
I was really hoping for the sattelite. Loved the Satellites, loved the GTX more.
I love to have the Volare’. I’d daily it with a few upgrades to it. That’s a nice ride Dylan.
My dad had a black lwb with a 360 like the blue one you have it had wide tires on the back but the drivers side rear went flat and my younger brother being a teenager & it was a Friday afternoon wanted to use the truck to go running around. About 11:pm he pulls back in with a knocking noise coming out from under the truck. So me and my dad stepped out to investigate, soon as the hood was opened I knew but I didn't say a word my dad said how did you break the engine monts? My brother said I was just driving it and it did that. My dad said where were you at when it happened? He said I was on this gravel road, so we all jumped in the '71 Demon and my dad told my brother to take him to the exact spot it happened. I went along, I figured this was going to be good. Sure enough my brother directed us to the gravel road that just so happened to have a white concrete bridge on it with one wide black mark and one skinny black mark almost all the way across the bridge.
Good times
Doesnt seem to matter what channel it is there's always a dead battery 😂
I always have an extra charger/float handy to keep them charged. They last longer that way.
Very nice 👍 thy run just like New was fun thanks 👍 👍👍😊
That blue mustang is actually a pretty good restoartion vehicle I would say you should fix it but dout you will listen to me
My guess is the cost of the restore would far outweigh the value.
@@marcmo7138 and restoring a 70cs charger that they don’t make parts for isn’t and a challenger and a swapping a v8 in a Plymouth and putting nos in 2 cars
@@user-hi9te5vp8v Obviously that was done to create content. A total restore on a car that doesn't have one solid piece of metal on it doesn't make sense monetarily wise. The risk isn't worth the reward.
@@marcmo7138 the body is better than most vehicle in minnisota and there is such a thing as welding scrap metal to a frame of no cost plus I’ve seen vehicle that have not floors at all you couldn’t even sit in did the car and yet is survived a demo and drove 700mile to get there that mustang would be an easy fix instead of letting it rot
@@user-hi9te5vp8v You don't restore a car by using old scrap metal. There is nothing left to weld to. One day you will understand what I'm saying. When you grow up you will understand that budget dictates everything in life. It doesn't make sense to invest more than in a vehicle than it is worth. Remember you said "RESTORE" not a bush fix.
That Plymouth Starter whine.
@ Dylan Mcool I love cold starts on any type of vehicles great video Love it!
Man yall should try and keep a semi running in those temps. Its been -10 up here over night and all the rigs stay plugged in 24/7. Even then its touch ne go to keep em from gelling.
Sounds like your fuel supplier sucks. Shouldn't have issues if your fuel is treated properly by your supplier. 😮😊
I love the shoe box ford and the mustang 2 and the 1971 dodge Polara
Dylan, great cars and projects you have! I'd like to see an 80s Volvo 740 with quad headlights on your channel sometime if you ever get your hands on one.
53:30 Spray a product called Wet and Forget on the vehicle and it will stop that algae type growth . It just like it says spray it and walk away :give it a little time to work
Love the Plymouth Volares, grew up with a faux-woodgrain sided 1976 Plymouth Volare Premier station wagon. Love the mopar cold starts! I didn't see "Lunchbox", though, the utility box truck?
I sold that one to a young kid for his first truck.
Great content, Dylan…
Will Hagerty have a “Barn Find Hunters” episode in 30 years with this charming old guy named Dylan, with 84 cars parked on the back 40, all close to being fixed up?
Love the channel, keep up the great work. 😊
Good.job Nice Dodge cool show 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Crazy how dylans collection is so diverse
Amongst all the classic trucks and cars, he has a neon SRT4 😂
Wouldn't all like to see that Mustang II go through an el cheapo scrub, sand and body-work?? Then a paint and Cobra graphic put on it ? Could be McCool!
You must have really been itching to make this video. I saw --11 F just a county up from yall this week. It's been downright siberan in southern Tennessee the last few days. It was 5 above this morning.
Way too cold for me to be doing that. Get warm soon!
Need to invest in NOCO GB70 will help with batteries will even jump start a semi
Just because you can start it, does not mean you should start it. Pro tip, from the land of cracked blocks in northern MN. 😆
Dad used to have a block heater plugged in if it was below 20 F
I Love Old cars😊
Dylan, I love your enthusiasm for the vehicles you work on though you need to get a game plan for moving some of them out of inventory lest you accumulate a wrecking yard! It’s a disease. Mine is cameras. They take up way less space. Anyway, both you and lance bush use the term “Get er to crank” I’m confused, to me that just means it turns over. When it pops off or fires, that’s running. No?
With Yaaaa Dylan Yeahhhhhhhhh.....Revving Mustang!
Keep The Patina On That Ford!!!
Hi Dylan from west Alabama
Awesome video love it thanks a lot
Man i miss those big boats. Chryslers fords chevys but living in N.y. i dont miss a carb. Efi is so much better in the winters here
