Old Plymouths and dodges are sooo cool... Just their own breed.

Awesome! I love the starter sound of old Chryslers/Mopars!

You and me both!

These were my favorite Chargers mainly because I’ve been a Richard Petty fan since the 70s. Hence my 74 survivor sitting in the garage.

Amazing video! Would have loved to see a full body shot of you cranking it ☺️☺️

Old Mopars can be really tricky beasts to start...thanks for sharing!

Thank you for watching!

Really love the sound of that Mopar starter when you are cranking it!

I can't speak for your Charger, but after my car sits for that long, the gas in the carb evaporates and needs to crank a bit to get new gas in the bowls. Then I give it a few pedal pumps and it fires right up. I think if you had given it a few pumps between cranking, it might have liked that. Yes I would like to see a complete video of the whole car! I love the hide-away headlights!!!

My favorite part of these cars was the hood. It’s not for everyone but I think it’s sweet

It’s pretty attractive, not gonna lie :)

there's a difference between it doesn't like a lot of gas, and it gets flooded easily. Honestly that was not a bad start at all, especially for 4 months sitting! Remember, you cannot compare ease of starting it to any car that is even remotely modern. By it's vintage standards, that was a great start, especially for a cold blooded Mopar!

That’s a good point that I often forget! It’s 50 years and old and carbureted. Not like a fuel injected car, where you can hop in and go. I’d still like to rebuild the carburetor and replace the plugs.

Absolutely! We’ll shoot to have one out in the spring.

Pour a little gas in carb first . Making it dry start makes it rough on engine especially with heavy oil !

Beautiful car…..Is it possible that you needed to pump it more??

It was already flooded after the 4 pumps.

@MrFloodedSilverado Yes, the carb definitely needs to be gone through, haha!

You OK? Haven't seen anything from you in quite a while. Hope all's well.

Hope all is well with you too! We’re back, today at 11AM! 😊

How long does it take to start on a freezing cold morning? Would love to see you starting it without any pumping.

I have a feeling that you’d be late to work that morning, lol!

Now you know how to properly start a non fuel injected car. I see these Yahoo starting up old Buicks and Chevys and Fords and everything and all you do if it doesn't start after you twist the key you grab it and twist it again. I get a kick out of these kids out here that turn the key all the way off on the ignition and turned it all the way back on again as if it's going to do a damn thing no it's not it's not a new car you don't have to prime it by turning the key it does absolutely nothing. I watched the guy the other day cold start a Buick Riviera one of those boat tail 71's it took about two or three tries to get it going no big deal but the first time after a long crank he turned the key all the way off and then turn the key all the way on it started it died he turned the key all the way off and all the way on. Congrats to you for doing it right because that's all you got to do if it doesn't start grab the key and twist it again You're sitting 4 months so you should have shot just a quick shot of crack up in there LOL
