Man you are so fortunate to have such a great father. I think I watch mostly because of the mutual love and respect you two have for one another 🤧

Hey. I'm a retired academic type that never understood what happened under the hood. I really enjoy watching your videos and learning about these engines, etc. Also, I think you guys have the best camera work, sound and editing on Youtube. It's all very professional, like a real network show. Lance is especially talented at the narration; he's a natural instructor; everything he says is clear and understandable--and very entertaining. Dad offers solid support too! And of course, "little sister" is amazing with those cameras. Hope it all works for you for as long as you want it to.

My family moved to Alaska in 1978, my brother and I drove a 1969 Plymouth Valiant, just like this...slant engine 225 Cubic Inch, army green, and I also drove it in high school.... 1979 and 1980. It was a fantastic car!!! Mopars greatest motors were the 225 slant 6 (and the 318 V-8) these were indestructible!!! Always started, always got fantastic mileage, and ran like a champ from Illinois to

Thank you for praising God, for the glory belongs to him. May God bless you.

This brings the phrase "One man's junk is another man's treasure." to life. Good stuff!

I think she’s a keeper!! It’s a blessing to hear you praise God for the successes…He’s worthy of praise for our failures as well!

Seeing that old Mopar drive made me so very happy! Being an old Dodge mechanic from the 80s I remember these cars well, they were old back then but those slant 6 are great engine.

The Father Son dynamic is so touching and genuine

Hey folks, I am a 62 years old man and your video makes me remember my grandfather in 1968 when he bought a new Valiant identycal as this one (I live in Mexico and since then those cars were called Valiant Duster). I remember it was a 6 cylinder inclined in line engine, 3 speed manual transmission, with no power steering and no air conditioned. It was gray with blue interiors in vinyl. Beautiful car, I hope you can restore it completely.

My mom bought a maroon 4-dr one of these brand new in 68. The orange motor means it’s the last year of the 170 cube slant six. That car got 40 mpg on the highway, no lie, even with the automatic transmission. Original carb had cold starting troubles, I’d have to get under there and stick a screwdriver in the choke so it would start. Mom was so frustrated with that❗️
I totaled it one night; hit a tree dead on in the middle of the hood, and the valve cover bent in an upside down V. That car saved my life…..tough as nails❗️👍🍺

Just wanted to say God bless y’all is all. Love all your content

This brings back very fond memories I had with my dad when I got my 67 Valiant 100 2-dr from him back in 78. I repaired all the body work and quarters before I learned to drive and afterwards into college, restored and modified mine with a B&M Shift Kit, replaced slant-6 225 from the blown rod in the 170 going back to college in the middle of winter, and adding 3" extension rear air shocks and turned up torsion bars to level it. My dad and I worked on it together at times and spent more time on a 66 Polara we both restored. I miss those trips to the salvage yard for parts on days mom would pack us a picnic lunch for the day! We had a lot of fun and bonding in the garage and mom always heard us laughing. Great video on a fun to drive Mopar!

Ahh, brings back memories! The slant 6 looks weird because it was designed as an industrial engine, and was too tall to fit under the hood of a car. So, they slanted it over and put all the intake and exhaust on the other side. A friend was a Chrysler mechanic at a dealer when a lot of fleet police cars had this engine, and he'd get cars in with the note "Idles rough", and find a hole in the block with a piston missing. My own 1969 Valliant had the V8, but my 1984 Dodge Ram van had the last of the 225 slant 6's. I loved that I could pull the engine cover and fine tune the engine while driving, and being a former racing mechanic, I got that thing pulling like a mild V8 and purring like a kitten. Thanks for the show!

Those 3-on-the-trees were so awesome back in the day. I wouldn't mind seeing this old Plymouth Valiant restored. 🚗

OMG you guys. This one made me cry! I had a 67 name was Leaping Lena. Paid $100 bucks (running) for her in 1989. We were poor and couldn't afford much. She wasn't pretty, but God I loved her!

[markhenrichs]

Wyatt's dad joke "It had a bean burrito last night!" Lol! Love this channel.
