Johnny Zonta. Thank you very much John.
That truck was so nice! Nothing but respect and admiration for people that keep these vehicles running and in such good condition after so many years.
When I was 15 learning to drive my student driver car was a new 1972 Plymouth Fury with a 440. It would effortlessly accelerate to 70 with five people in the car.
Good memories here ! Beautiful car....forty years ago, I had a `70 Fury III, an ex-State Police cruiser.....440 engine, heavy-duty EVERYTHING, certified 140 mph speedometer. It was as big as an aircraft carrier, but handled pretty good for such a big boat. And gas was about 55 cents a gallon.... I miss those days !
Hey Nick, I was an inspector on the BNRR, (in N. Dak.), in late 70's when those Trans-Am's were being shipped. One day, a 60' , 3 tier open automotive carrier came thru the train yard, and every single car on that carrier was a black 1978 Trans-Am. I was so overwhelmed that 2 years later , I bought a mint used one ! We made some unbelievable memories in that car.......
You always helping people is why I'd love to work with you
i can imagine the joy..and prestige..to be able to work on all of these old and vintage cars...some newer..and some really eclectic...what a tribute to Nick and his Garage...
Thanks for sharing the 'C' Body Nick. There is a lot of mopar lovers who still take pride in the 'C' body platform. In 1974, my Mother and Step Dad bought an ex 1970 Montana Highway Patrol car at an auction. It was a white unmarked four-door with dark green interior. The car may have been a supervisor or Captain's car. The car had a 440, torqueflite, and an 8-3/4 posi with 3.23 gears, dual exhaust with bent tips and the Certified 140 speedo and full gauge package. Where the clock is on this green Fury, there was an oil pressure gauge. The car was no frills. It even had a special fitting on the fuel line near the fuel pump for filling gas cans for stranded motorists. The car also had Power brakes and steering with front disc brakes but no A/C. The engine was Hemi Orange with magnum manifolds special for the 'C' body. She got the car for $1600.00 with 65,000 miles on it. My older brother used to take it out on the freeway and the car accelerated to 140 with ease and rode nicely too. We got pulled over once by a WSP officer (Washington State Patrol) and he just wanted to see the car because he missed the one he had four years earlier. He said the 69' was the fastest but the 70' was almost as fast. He was disappointed with the performance of the new 74' he was driving. He let us off with a warning and Mother sold the car two years later to collector with 90,000 on the odometer. It's hard to say what ever happened to it. It had small 440 emblems on the hood too. Really a unique car.

Hi Nick, I hope you are enjoying the beautiful Summer weather! The Fury had the rubber floor over jute padding throughout. The holes where the shotgun mount was were still in the floor by the trans tunnel. The car had a special governor in the 727 that allowed the car to shift out of passing gear at 98 mph into drive. We were really bummed when Mother sold the car. She is 4-11 and looked funny driving it and was afraid to floor it because it scared her. True story.

That Dodge truck at the end of the video is really nice.
Wow, that convertible is fine. That thing is a land yacht!
Keep the old iron running... Keep people happy... Nice video 👍
My first car was a ‘67 Fury II 4 Door hard-top. With that suspension, I called it the “Land Yacht!”
"call me after 6 EST and we'll talk", that for me sums up Nicks work ethic, most shops wont entertain after hours calls. Respect due Mr P.
I used to own my grandparents 68 Fury II. Still regret letting it go. The lines on the 70 are a touch more appealing to me, but would not reject an affordable 68 again lol. Keep up the great work!!
Perfect end to the weekend... A little "Buzz" and Nick's Garage. :)
Another great video. From a 70 Satelite with a Hemi to a disco area Trans-Am, 70's style Challenger, work truck but I must say that the 70 Fury 3 is a BOAT! But I like boating!! "C" body Mopars- especially from the north- are a rare and special treat to see. Glad to see it has been kept stock and quiet. Truly a piece of Mopar history!
Love hearing Nick talk... kinda sounds like the "ant eater" on the Pink Panther cartoons...soothing!🤣😂
The 70 Plymouth III what a great car and the 318 is an amazing motor
I can't wait for nicks videos, they make my day!!! These things are stunning man.....
I had a 1971 Fury like this except it wasn't a convertible & it had a 360. I loved that ole car. It even had headlight washer brushes.
I love the old school cars. Brings back lots of memories. Keep on Keeping on Nick.👍👍

1970 Fury, best car at Nick's Garage so far!
Who says big girls aren't sexy just look at that bombshell in green. Beautiful!
Perfect engine for a cruiser. Had many Chryslers when my dad worked for a dodge dealer and most of the time you didn’t even know they were running.
That Fury III is one sweet ride.
What a Great Shop, and Loved that Fury.
So much good feeling in this vid. The quiet pride you, Nick, and your crew take in your work, knowing that you are making your customer's dreams a reality. Your karma account floweth over.

I love the way Nick says:"Why not?"
Let’s take it for a ride. The color on the convertible is Beautiful.
My sixth grade teacher had a Sport Fury convertible, I’m guessing 1967 or 68. White with black interior and I think a white top. A few of us used to hang around after school to help out and and she gave us a ride home. She hammered that V-8 and gave us a thrill racing through the neighborhood. It’s no wonder she was our favorite teacher and many of us kept in touch long after we graduated. The fact that she was quite the looker and puberty was onsetting probably didn’t hurt either. LOL
A couple of awesome rides there Nick once again, more so the original Plymouth Fury.
Another great video Nick you help other people which is awesome keep up the good work Buddy eat lots of food
Talking about checking in new cars off the transporter, I did this as well as new car prep at a Chevy dealer in Indiana during the '87-89 model years. Monte Carlo SSs, Z28s, Corvettes etc. Loved it.
Another lovely day. With lots of old girls around. Thay are becoming few and far between.
Nick's always got the bad ass cars at the shop
man that TA is beautiful...its always been one of my dream cars..
Love the channel Nick. Old school muscle is sooooo cool especially Mopars. 👍
I'm kind of a new subscriber. I've seen all the videos going back a couple months and now I'm going through all the older videos. What a treat!
I love that fury! One day if I’m fortunate enough I will have a 70 or 71 fury GT 440 6barrel
keep up the great work nick....and the team.....
I have always liked the 70 Fury
Those old Fury's were big 'uns! I used to chow down on corndogs a lot until I got the gout. That ended my corndog fest pronto. Ouch! 😊
👍So Nice😎 I miss these ‘Boats’ & it makes me wonder why we now settle for the crappy, bumpy rides of today’s cars.- The Interceptor.... wow! Well at any rate, thx again to Nick & the crew! You guys are old school bad ass cool😎awesome!👍😎 THX Mr. Nick!

Did that Fury 3 bring back memories. 318 is probably besides the 350 and 302 the best small block out there. Especially if you could find a Super Commando loads of torque!! Thank You Nick, really nice video.

Seeing all these 318s brings back memories Nick. The first car I ever bought was Chrysler Córdoba, 318 with a A906 tranny (I believe). Hope I got that right it was off the top of my head. I got a loan from my credit union and I had just turned 15. Mind you I had been driving illegally for both of my divorced parents for years. I learned how to drive when I was ten years old in a Triumph TR7. I would pick up my mom sometimes and run errands too. My dad always had me drive his work trucks around I learned how to drive a stick shift on a frozen river. Much easier as it’s harder to stall, you just spin the tires instead. But I loved my 318 and I drove it very hard. I had put two more transmissions in it before I moved on. Love that Fury III, there’s so much to do in the front bench seat when you’re a teenager, I feel bad for the newer generations that have never had a young love to sit next to driving through life in a bench seat. Does that have heavy torsion bars like my Córdoba did? Those big Mopar cars glide like a fine ship, love the ride.

Nick Panaritis such a gent! Thanks Nick, keep up the good work and give your video guy a pat on the back from me, he does a great job. What a culture in your shop you’ve developed, seems very naturally cultivated. I am visiting Maine this coming month from GA where I live now, the nicest part of the year up that way, so hard to keep old cars on the roads with the salt and sand, those winters are hard on them. Keep on keepin on Nick. It’s almost a spiritual thing there enjoying this time of year and driving.
It's you all the way Nick!
The Fury is a great looking rig! Clean lines, a muscular look. A worked over 440 would be great, but as you say, 318 is adequate for cruisin. Would look great, ride smooth runnin down the highway, interstate or otherwise!
Top of brake reservoir on the Inteceptor needs some black paint. That car is looking good!
"You can shut the gate on this one, Maxie. It's the duck's guts!"
Hi Nick ...a friend of mine's dad bought a 73 sport fury III .IT WAS A BEAST OF A CAR ... 2 DOOR 440. 727 torqflite BEAUTIFUL dark BLUE black interior... That thing would fly....in other words it would scare the s##t out of you..wish I had bought from his dad... Love those molars. Cheers 🍺🍺🍺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My mother had a 1968 Plymouth Fury III with a 383 4V it was so cool. Not sure about the HP but for the family car it would haul ass. I had the 1967 Chevell 396/375, it was not as drunk with torque as the Chevell but it was impressive for a huge 4 door cruiser-mobile.
Those steel slot mag lookalikes on the T/A are straight-up '70s accessories. 👍

I had a 69 sport fury conv 383 ,,loved that car !!
My brother had one the same color but 4 door with vinyl roof .He got it for 800 ,within a week he realized why they sold it .8 mpg. He improved it by finding 13 bent push rods and 14 bent valves . When we checked the timing chain it was new so you tell Me what happened 383 2bbl then fuel went up to 12 mpg and the valve job was done right =no clacking
@MrJohnnyDistortion

jimmy wilkinson Someone must have installed the timing chain incorrectly and put the camshaft out of position causing the valves to hit the pistons and bending pushrods. It's obvious. Did you figure it out that this is what happened? The new timing chain gave it away to me right away.
Hey there guys thanks for replying, much appreciated!!!
god, 1970 mopar ff4 green is my favorite mopar color EVER.
I had a 1978 Trans Am. It only made 190hp with that 400 V-8 motor. My 2017 Mustang V-6 with 300hp would drive circles around that thing.
Have you ever thought about doing a video on the team. It would be interesting to see how they came to work you and they came into working on classic cars.

My 1974 International 392 I/C needs the head shaved, valves seated, new valve springs, new rings, new bearings, new lifters, pretty much new everything, so soon as I can I will be rebuilding it and putting in a Chrysler high energy electronic ignition system with 50kv to the plugs. Not making a hot rod out of it, just a nice strong, fuel efficient work truck.

Might be a lot easier and cheaper just to grab a late '70's 345 distributer out of a Scout II. They're self-contained HEI units (no separate box) and super reliable. Will a Chrysler distributor really fit an IH? I always like to find a new parts source :)

392 I/C uses the very same Holly brand distributor as any 440/383 and I have a complete reman my brother bought for me some time back and all i need is the 40$ worth of reluctor, pickup and coil firing module. If I did not need to drive my 1972 Dodge motor home with a 413 I/C, I could pull the ignition out of it and drop it right in.

Thanks for the info - junkyard Scouts are getting pretty rare, and trucks are gone completely (eastern PA). I'm about to toss the 727. My last good junkyard find was a heavy duty 1310 5 speed OD/divorced NP205 combo.
That FuryIII was georgous, it still looked new. A 318? Ok, for a cruiser that's just enough. (It could have been a slant 6...just kidding) The interceptor Torino is bigger than the Falcon, I like it better than the real one. Ah ha!!!!! I knew it! you had Pontiac blood in you some place! The blue Trans Am took me all the way back to 78. When I got my first job and met Pete. I just get a kick out of watching you and your guys work at a real shop. Thank you Nick, I thought real cars disappeared. But a Fury, Torino and a TransAm? It seems the real ones have flown North and roosted around your shop. The way of the muscle car will never die.
