Definitely want to see more. Keep it stock, running and driving. She's too rare of a car to hot rod. But absolutely get her back on the road

I'm not particularly an expert on Plymouth but most of those old engines that set for a long time lose compression like that, if you put a couple of teaspoons of gear oil in each piston it should give you enough compression to start it up, once you do that and run it through a few heat cycles you should get your rings back and have compression again.

You just found a content gold mine. We all love Christine.

Dang, the 58 Plymouth Savoy/Belvedere/Fury is my dream car. I also fell in love after reading Christine. Excellent find! Would love to see you bring this one back to life! It will be well worth it when all is said and done.

that car deserves a complete restoration, it clearly wants to keep going, it just needs some love

Love 58 Plymouths. Can't wait to follow this car and what you're plans are.

Words can't explain how much I want one of these

Mid-late 50s Plymouth are so gorgeous, even in an abandoned state/ dilapidated state. You can tell that back in those days that "The Designer is King"!

would rec: add some marvel into the top of each cylinder and sit for a few days. a new starter may be needed because being a 12v car it should crank much faster, I would like to see the flathead 6 stay in the car. could also use a leak down tester to try to see if rings or valves or head gasket . keep going and best regards

It only takes about a spoon full of gas to prime the engine. Any more and you flood it. The low compression may because the excess gas washed the cylinders. Oil the cylinders and see if the compression improves.

i would love to see the 58 restored to its former glory, i think it deserves it, one of the best looking cars of its time ever made in my opinion.

I’d love to see more of this Plymouth. It’s so strange that it’s lost compression!

The next time Dylan went to work on the Plymouth, he remembered thinking to himself “hmm, when did I replace that window?” 😂

Check with Josh at Sleeperdude. He had the same issue with a low compression engine. Hooked up dual inline 12v batteries and got the engine cranking super fast and the engine started. He let it run for quite awhile and now it starts every time. Apparently needed to get the rings loosened up.

I have watched every video about this 58 plymouth. the reason why I like your "will it run?" videos more than other guys who do this, is because you care about the appearance of the mechanics areas you work on. like painting everything before putting it back together. I do the same thing. when the hood of my 67 ranchero is opened you better be wearing sun glasses! haha.

Not gonna lie you're slowly becoming one of my favorite KZfaqrs. Love the content I'm slowly watching all the different series you have. You make me wanna try n fix up an old car instead of a truck

Had a 48’ dodge deluxe with this exact engine do this, pulled the head and it had a couple sticky valves. Some pb blaster and a rubber hammer I got them free. Ran great after!

Glad to hear you're a fellow Christine fan! I love how this car gave you some love by firing right up and idiling then deciding to be tempermental....eerily like Christine would. haha Thanks for sharing and god bless!

Love seeing your smile after you got her running! This is an amazing find! Congratulations!

It’s amazing this the first thing I thought of is Christine. I think it would be brilliant if you can get the original running again. It showed so much promise initially.

I would love to see this one all original. Even if I had to rebuild the engine, I would give it a shot. LOVE THIS CAR!!!

This one is going to be a good one to fix up and there were a some cool cars around it in the building. With those headlights you have Christin's cousin. I am looking forward to see more.

I am speechless: I always thought that a car starting that easily after many years of neglect was a Chevy thing. I saw now, that a mopar can also come back to life very easily. I think it is more likely to happen with a simple straight six.

The Savoy is my favourite model for 57 and 58, I can’t wait to see future videos with the beast. Please keep her stock, those L-heads are tough to kill and they sound so cool when you get em running. Cheers from Ontario

When she fired up and was idling, she sounded so much like "Christine" it was frightening and had I not watched it with my own eyes, I never would've believed it was a 6 cylinder engine. Always a pleasure to watch your content, Dylan.

Hell yeah, another Plymouth. I need more Plymouth's in my life.

Hey @DylanMcCool,I've been watching you since I was 16 or 17 years old,and I'm 21 now. I love your videos. I don't know really anything about vehicles,but your stuff makes me feel like I do. And I pick up a thing or two from them. Keep up the great work man

I name you Pauline! You got to keep 'er stock but whatever you do, don't give up. I have faith in you and that Plymouth.

That's a sweet '62 Fairlane sitting next to it, too. I had a '63 and I miss it a lot.

My first car was a Plymouth Fury. Loved it

Oh Lord, yes please, don't give up! Thanks for sharing your journey!

Wow these old old cars are growing on me so much I love them this is probably already one of my favorite rescues on your channel , juuust try to not leave it unattended once it’s fully mobile again … who knows what it’s up to … 😄😈

I love those cars. Ever since I first seen the movie Christine I have always wanted one. Can’t wait to see what you do with it

I’d throw in a new starter right off the bat. That old one sounds pretty tired. I’d love to see this one kept original as possible aside from some bodywork and paint. If the engine is salvageable? A potential rebuild, cleaning and a good rattle can job at the least. Bringing that body back and maybe a respray of it’s original color would be amazing

I find these videos very interesting. The styling on the Plymouth Fury is bold, yet elegant. Maybe you should paint it candy apple red and just say “show me”. It could come in handy too if you have some troublesome neighbors!

Pop the head off. Pretty easy to do. Or pull the side cover. I think you might have some sticky valves that are slow to return. Funny it ran fine the day before however. I did the same thing on a 1957 Plymouth wagon in one of my videos. Ended up breaking a valve off and having to redo all the valves in the second video. Great cars! Good luck!

Darnell's Tonight! 🤘

Love that 58! Wanted one since I was a kid and mised getting my parents in ' 68. By then itwas so badly rusted the seat was going through the floorboards. It went to the junkyard and I got their '59 Ambassador instead 3 years later. Still have the Rambler but always wanted a 58 plymouth. Good luck withyours!

The cool part about these is if you show em enough love, they will fix themselves.

This make me feel so happy and it giving me chills just to bring it to life... 😍😍😍❤❤❤

I got genuinely excited to see this car. I read Christine as a teenager. I'd love to see a movie car build but I know realistically it deserves to be restored.

I'd love to see more of this car. Personally, I'd really like to see it run on the original engine (or at least that engine your buddy left for you). So many people just swap a 350 or LS into these old cars. I know they perform better, but it's neat seeing the original stuff. I went to a vintage car show a couple months ago and only saw 2 GM straight six in the whole show.

Definitely want to see more of the 58 Plymouth. In my limited knowledge, I agree with the people who say the rings need to be refreshed. The drop in compression makes me think the rings were a little sticky and when you turned it over by hand, you broke them loose. But after it shut down, the rings got stuck again.

“Priss-tine” I always enjoy a good brake and suspension upgrade! And as far as the power plant, I say give it the Golden Lion treatment!

Last year me and my dad pulled a 1957 Chevy 210 out of the bush that had been sitting since about 1980 and it fired right up and idle after filing the points.

when you flooded it what little remaining oil in the cylinders/ valves got washed away put a small amount of oil in each cylinder to bump compression then hit it with a snort of starting fluid followed by a squirter of gas down the carb to keep it running

So glad you're putting it back on the road. It pleases me a lot. Good luck with it. I'd like to get a 1930 something Mopar to get running again.

Aside from not being red it totally gives off that Christine vibe at first all the lights work after sitting so long it's a cool car

I have a 56 Packard with a push button transmission. Hope you have good luck with it like I have had with mine. Lubing the gear selector I’ve learned is key to working on these.

Definitely need more on this car. Let it sit with marvel mystery in the cylinders. Either way it would probably need a redbuild. I'd either do stock or make it another challenger series. Very cool car. Can't wait for more content

In my modest opinion, one of the beautiful models of the 50's. It's deserve a detailed restoration process!

Oh man, that growling starter brought back memories when I first started up my 58 Plymouth. I had this very similar situation, ran great and let it sit for months. No start. These don’t like sitting for long periods of time. Marvel mystery oil down the holes, clean and relube the starter (helps get more rpm’s out of it) and dribble in 2 cycle mixed fuel down the carb for starting, any mix is fine. Straight gas will just wash out your cylinders. Once it does run, try to get some heat cycles into it to help loosen/seal up the rings. Also might want to look into replacing that carb with the correct unit. The one currently in your car is off an early 1950’s Plymouth. It’ll work, but it’s not correct for the later model 230 flatty. Love the car as much as mine. Hope to see more of yours! Parts wise, Big M and Dave are the way to go! As well as the 1958 Plymouth FINatics group.

Yeah she just screams 50s, love that front end it’s just so unique. It seems like the little 6 cylinders are usually the ones that will fire up after years of sitting and just refuse to die. The old 300 fords were the same way, gutless but you couldn’t hardly kill them

Definitely want to see more of the Savoy. Really hope that original 6 cylinder can be spruced up and stay in there. Clean her up and try to keep her as original as possible.

Love the forward look plymouths, this will be a sweet series.

That's awesome! Hey, could't help notest a beautiful Caddy waiting for some care! Thank's man for share knowledge and make this world happier whith that old beauties!

its a christine for sure! love the car, and cant wait to see it run again! just be sure to never leave your hand on the core support when the hood is up and look away! lol,,,,,

absolutely surprised how good it sounds after sitting that long!!

I agree with everyone else, add a little oil, Marvel, something to help seal the rings to get it started and then let it get up to temp. Get a few heat cycles into the motor and put her around the yard to get those rings moving again. I would like to see more on her and start getting those parts on the car like a brake booster and a new window.

Honestly Dylan I would paint her red just like Christine! You will definitely turn some heads driving her down the roads! Keep up your good work! 👍

Now we're talking! Finally a '58 Plymouth, the only classic american car I know quite well. Looking forward to watch that beauty come back to life. By the way: That's a 2dr Sedan, not a hardtop. It has a 2-speed powerflite automatic transmission, there was a 3-speed automatic available as well, called torqueflite + the basic 3-speed manual transmission. With that golden "V" in the grille she usually should be a 318cui V8 (or the V has been added at some point). Watch out, at some point she might even try to kill or hurt you...and I know what I'm talking about. Looks like she's a factory radio delete so at least you won't be surprised by a radio that will suddenly turn on and play music from the 50s. 😂 PS: Check out some of my older videos to see one of these. 😊

Definitely yes on getting it back on the road. Sure would be cool to see it on Power Tour next year. It would draw some attention.

Keep it going. Bang an 50s era hemi in it bring it back to life. I know paint is not your thing but the blue and white even quickly done would sure lift that beauty.

26:16 - the moment of truth! Congratulations!

I want to see more of it! Try some thick oil down the cylinders to help bump the compression up and try again. If it starts let it run and blow the cob webs away. It should help and free up the rings after a while. And keep it original! Love this car!

I love watching your videos!! It's so neat to see what you can do with cars and fix them!! God bless you!

Perfect starting point to build Christine! 😍🤘

Cool Plymouth Dylan hopefully you can get it driving too! Love seeing these old classics! Wow I’m surprised too that you got it running so quickly! Man bummer yes love the old girl with the parts hopefully you can get it running again or not sure what you would do for a engine swap!

Needs a Golden Commando 350 installed if you can find one for it, even though it's a Sedan and not a Hardtop it's for sure a car worthy of restoration.

Would also love to see way more videos on this thing!

Restore!! I have a 30 Chrysler in my garage watching from Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦

Christine was first thing I thought when I seen that cat love seeing these that you still actually find these around awesome to get see it idle

Awesome it's good to see you again dylan McCool the best part of this video is it's my birthday today!

Try adding a little oil to each cylinder to get more compression to make it fire up. Maybe some heat in it will bring the rings back around.

Nice find! Just to fill you in on a few things, it’s not a hardtop, it’s a 2 door sedan. The hardtop roof is shorter and lower. This shares the same roof skin with a 4dr sedan. The pushbutton trans is a standard feature on every Chrysler product from 1956-64 unless it’s a manual car, or starting in the 60s, had a console shifter. Looking forward to the progress! Someone added the V to the grill which signifies a V8. Also added Belvedere roof trim

You are so lucky, I would give anything to see one, mainly because of my love of Christine!

Thanks,Dylan...now there's another car I want! And the look on your face when she coughed to life.... Priceless! Great video as usual!

I can see it after it is fully restored , a very beautiful car indeed. Thank you so much for that fun.

Definitely would like to see this continue.

One of my top favorite cars. Loved them since I saw Christine when I was a kid

Might be able to dump a bit of oil into each cylinder to bump the compression up enough to run a little bit.

Please keep working on the 58 Plymouth, it deserves to be driven again. Great content as usual!🇨🇦👍

Definitely want to see this on the rd love your videos my son and I watch everyone.. Keep up the hard work

I reckon I’d check to see if the exhaust got plugged with mouse nests…an engine is an air pump after all…timing sounds way advanced too….Those old body on frame Plymouths are really cool!!! Maybe a modest small block Chrysler swap

I’d love to see you do further as to what took the compression down. She’s a beautiful car

glad you finally posted, ive been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty :)

Would like to see this car running again keeping it all original, love your videos.

love the video, love to see the Plymouth run but caught a peak at the Caddy in the background and she is the one Id love to see a makeover

They must have built a bazillion of those Chrysler flathead 6 engines. Weird that most of them seemed to have disappeared.

This is my dream car, I’ve wanted one of these since I was a little kid and I can’t tell you how jealous I am lol

I'd love to see more of the '58 Plymouth! If the flathead has to come out I think that a big block to replace it would be cool.

Get her running brotha- what ever it takes , she is a beauty 👍🏽

awesome car Dylan, it's is so enjoyable to live vicariously through your projects and you getting a cool car collection.

I’m happy you found this. This is Gorgeous I love these old 50s cars

Dylan McCool love this car! Bring back you rocking intro, I miss it 🙂

I just saw this his video today and I loved it. I don’t know if you got this Plymouth running, it started great, I think the carb has a vacuum problem, or the sediment formation inside the carb don’t let run. In the past had a 76 dart with the inclined 6

I'd love to see more. I'm betting a bit of trans fluid in the cylinders to up the compression and a new starter and she'd fire again. I'd also love to see some content on that caddy parked next to it!

Very cool Plymouth. Looks like its got the powerflite trans. Our neighbor had a brand new 58 Fury. Had the 318 with two 4 barrel carbs. Rode in it a few times and it had awesome power for the day.

Thats a sweet find. For some reason the 2 dr sedans are harder to find than the hardtops. I remember a number of years back, Hotrod Magazine was trying to replicate one they had built back in the day as a racer or was it for the salt flats and as hard as they tried, they could only find hardtops. I dont know if they ever found a 2 dr post like yours or not, but they were trying to find a correct one that would eventually go into the Peterson Museum even after building a hardtop. If I remember right they were pretty much to the point of offering the bank account, the editors left arm, the authors first born, and the secretary for one.

The availability of classic old cars like this would be about the only reason I would want to move to the US. I would love to be able to find and restore old classics like this and the other cars you and Junkyard Digs and the rest of you find and get running, and in your case, restore. I hope that you can get it running :D
