One could always tell a Chrysler vehicle, by the sound it made when starting. Very distinctive.

That's the sound I grew up to and learned to drive on. Don't change a thing Adam!

That's the sound I grew up with. I love it. I remember when they changed the starters, we all cried a tear.

I love the sound of that old Mopar whine.

One of most beautiful sounds ever!

I love the distinct sound of a Chrysler starter!!!!

Yup, those whinnying starters are so Chrysler. Love it!

Love that distinct sound of a Mopar firing up. Don't change anything.

When I turned 16, my dad gave me his '68 Newport. That 383 purred like a kitten and had plenty of get up and go. Brings back a lot of fond memories.

I LOVE THAT SOUND, Ever Since I Was A Kid...

This car sounds and looks to be absolutely brand new. I really miss that sound.

My dad had a 1971 Chrysler Town & Country. Sounded just like it. “What a Beautiful Noise”

The idle sound of the rumbling engine is something so soothing and relaxing its nearly unbelievable.

Sounds just like my father's '68 Chrysler, and his '70 Plymouth. Best cars, ever. I'll never forget their luxurious interiors, stylish sheet metal, and their serene, comfortable rides.

My dad drove a Plymouth for years, as a kid I heard that sound every day So thanks for the memories

A beautiful sound indeed! For a moment, you took 50 years off my life!

The mighty gear reduction starter-greatness. Don’t change a thing!

Growing up in a staunchly MOPAR family, that starter was the soundtrack to my childhood - a ‘71 Charger R/T, ‘69 Cornet 500, and a ‘78 Cordoba among others. Wonderful memories riding/driving in them. And incidentally, the ‘72 - ‘73 Imperial (with the vertical taillights) is one of my dream cars! Adam keeps teasing it…I cannot wait for the full review/drive! 😁

I have always LOVED the sound of the older Chrysler starters.

Gotta know and love that old Mopar starter sound.

Exactly the same sound from Australian built Mopars - the sound of Chrysler. Well done Adam

Oh man love that dashboard!!! Gorgeous!!

Gotta be 1 of the prettiest dashboard layouts ever designed !

Music to my ears. So miss the sound of these old Mopar starters

The dulcet tones of the Highland Park Screecher, music to my ears.

That sweet sound brought back a lot of sweeter memories!

That sound is perfection to my ears. My father only drove Chryslers and that starter sound is burned into my memory forever.

I've also learned to savor the the unique sound of a TorqueFlite going through a 1-2 upshift under moderate throttle.

Such a comforting sound...like Mother's voice calling you to supper... :)

Believe it or not, my dad had one of these too! One of his friends passed away - this was years ago - and a '72 Imperial was his baby. After it sat for a few years his widow gave it to my dad because she new he liked it, would clean it up and take care of it. She also new he'd enjoy driving it. And he did. Hearing that Mopar starter brought back a flood of memories; not only of the Imperial but also of the '73 New Yorker and '73 Dodge Adventurer pickup he had. My dad's vehicles were always kept showroom clean so I appreciate the pristine condition of you cars.

Brought back memories. We had Chrysler products when I was growing up and I heard that starter sound MANY times. Thanks!

Thank you for NOT changing the starter! You're right the sound of original mopar starters should never be changed.

I LOVE that starter sound ,sound is powerful and eventful. That dashboard looks immaculate!!

love mopar starter sounds. best sounding starter ever. I agree the high torque starters are great for hard to start cars but an old mopar has to have the classic sound.

Yep, that's the Mopar starter we all love. It's even 'better' when the battery is slightly discharged. lol. Though the crank is slow by most modern day comparisons, it is an extremely good hd starter, that will spin over a high compression engine the same way it will a 6 or low compression 318. And they last forever! I searched for yrs to have 1 on my 79 300 just for that old school sound. 20 yrs later, it's been n/p. Think about all the Delco and Motorcraft starters from the 60s and 70s that cannot say the same!

Yep. I remember it well. 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340. Lime green. Now that was a real beauty!

Two things any gear head will recognize blindfolded - the sound of an old Mopar starting and the sound of a Mustang 5.0 exhaust! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Love this. Grandad had a 68 1 ton dodge pickup and a buddy had a 69 roadrunner. That sound meant ‘ let’s go!’. Iconic. Non mopar guys and gals won’t understand 😂

I was part of the team at RM that restored the 1999 Eyes on Design winner. 1959 Aston Martin db2-4. Love these vintage Chrysler as I own a fully loaded 1977 NYB. Love the vids!!

Just look at the size of the hood, from behind the steering wheel, it’s huge. Now that’s what I call a full size sedan. I just love it.

I always liked the sound of a Mopar starting up. My dad bought GM cars but his parents had big Chryslers and Cadillacs, so the sound of this Chrysler starting reminds me of them. 💜

I realize while watching videos like this how lucky I had been to work as a lot boy on a used car lot in the mid to late 70s started all the cars ect...and got to "GO AROUND THE BLOCK BOY TO WARM THEM UP" YES SIR!!

It's much more resonant from the outside....That sound brings me back to Senior year in High School..1981...walking out to the parking lot at 2.15 pm.....and all the Scamps, Darts, Valiants, Dusters came to life at the same time.

That interior is utterly immaculate.

Great Sound I'll never forget it!!👌👌

Adam: oh man, you are so right on here! No other starter has that sound. Mopar starters are classic. My dad had a ‘63 Valiant, and that sound will be forever more burned into my brain. I still turn to look when I hear one start up. Thank you for doing a short segment JUST on the sound of a Mopar starter!

loving the lines on that mopar

Sounds perfectly beautiful!

Music to my ears, I miss that sound. Thank you!

Those four gauges are just what this cat needs!

That interior is spotless!! Not even a speck of dust on that gauge cluster.

Thanks for memory Adam. Yes! I remember the unique sound of Mopar Starters. There was a time when you would hear one in a parking lot and know a Chrysler product had just started up. They all had that distinct sound from the lowest Plymouth up to an Imperial.

I love the sound of that starter. And beautiful car.

A 440 coming to life, with resonators, is so sweet. The Flintstone whining sound affects and rumble of life.... Haven't heard that since my neighbor's New Yorker, way back in the mid 70's.

Wow You get it!!!!! So many people don't get it but you do. Fender mounted turn signals , the little light that light up the ignition key hole and, and of course the high torque starter. Perfection !!!!!!

Brings back many, many memories. 1968 Newport convertible, 383, Torqueflite 3 speed 1967 Dodge Coronet 500, 318, 2-door hardtop 1973 Plymouth Duster, 225 slant 6, three speed manual floor shift

Yes, love the mopar starter. Looking forward to the video on this classic. Signed "Mopar fan". Thanks

That mellifluous sound brings a flood of amazing memories

This is what I love ❤ about Mopar cars, the gauge cluster.

What a beautiful and well-kept vehicle.

Love it love it love it. My first car was a 1968 Dodge Coronet with a 318. I love that car it was mint condition used car and the starter sounded just like your 1972!

Memories of our green '73 Satellite wagon growing up. "The Grenade."

Fantastic! And that exquisite rumble...

What a cool car. Live the dashboard.

So few miles on such a beautiful old car. Impressive!

Agreed! That’s classic Mopar! You’re wise to not mess with it!

Loved it!! Brings great memories of the 1978 Dodge Van My Family had. I would start it up in the cold Midwest winters.

Looks and sounds great. U don’t change perfection.

Gotta love that Highland Park hummingbird!

Music to my ears!

When they start smooth, it is really smooth. My dad was not always able to start them so nicely.

How I miss the sound of my Valiants, Darts and Barracudas, my Dad's Chryslers and my Uncle's Desotos. Thanks for the memories and actually driving your cars.

Funny how every old Mopar I have owned from a 225 slant 6 to a 440 Magnum all have the same starter sounds while cranking... Once the engines fired up, of course they sounded quite different.

Oh yeah my 66 belvedere has that distinct classic Mopar startup!

Amazing how often we once heard that sound...I'm looking forward to a detailed review of this Imperial. They have so many unique features.

That is the sound of the cars in our home while we were growing up. Just beautiful. Thank you.

That sound, unmistakable.

They were a very reliable starter lasting many years. They turned the engine over slower but always fired up

Oh, that gorgeous dash.. reminds me of my 70 T&C and sounds like it too.

I LOVE the sound of that starter; absolutely don't change it! I've always wondered how different starters are able to have their own unique sounds. Fords of the 60's and 70's have their unique sounds, Chevrolet as well. And Cadillacs also had a very unique sound as well. Love your videos!

I always liked the sound how old Mopar engines started.

This era of Imperial and Chrysler, wow! This is part of the golden age of automobiles. What a beautiful dash (car)! The one thing that is video so deftly demonstrates is: Older cars are so wonderful because they have distinct personalities and style that makes them such a joy to drive. For instance, the starters and many other pieces on this car indicated what company made the car. Those indicators were standard across that company's entire line, evidently to enhance brand loyalty. Modern cars have much less distinctiveness and individuality.

My grandma's 1963 Valiant & grandpa's 1966 Newport had the same starter sound. Love these 1969-70 Imperials, the stark fuselage dash.

YES! I had a '64 Belvedere, music to my ears :-) Love it!

Brings back memories of starting up my 1970 Plymouth Valiant. 😊

A friend of mine who sadly passed away in 2013 had what I think would be the ultimate C-body Mopar. Legend has it that it was ordered by his mother, and when she walked into the dealership she sat down, placed her purse on the table and they slid an order sheet across the desk to her. She then elegantly drew a line across the whole order sheet, signed it, and slid it back to the salesman. What she ordered was the most LOADED 1969 Imperial Crown Coupe I've ever seen. 440 TNT, Air, Tilt, Telescope, Cruise, Auto Temp, Dual A/C units, Power seats, windows, locks, ventipanes, trunk release, headlight washers, AM/FM/8-track, 4-wheel disc brakes, Anti-Skid braking system, 15" wheels, dual exhaust.... the list just went on and on. The car had TWO window stickers, that's how loaded with options it was. But I never heard anything about the estate. I would've loved to own that car not only as a connection to my friend, but to carry on the legend that was his mom. You gotta admit, that's a LOT of car for a woman in 1969.

I will always love that Chrysler starter sound

You can tell the difference between Mopar and Ford starters

Adam, We will be with you in spirit.

What a beautiful sound, love it! My very first car was a 1974 Dodge Challenger, both the 318 engine that it came with and the 440 that I built for it sounded the same, no mistaking a Chrysler starter. Cool cars and a cool video, thanks for sharing!

OMG YES!!! We had 3-4 Mopars. 66 Dodge Coronet Wagon, 77 Fury Sport and a76 Grand Fury Wagon. One other I can’t remember. 🤔. That sound was always music to my ears

This music ,lovely sound :)

The Highland Park Hummingbird! 😀

Much appreciated! Especially to those of us who can't afford to have their own sweet Mopar

thank you for posting -- omg!!! i had a 74 dodge truck at 16. the sounds bring back the smell and feel of it. i could listen to this over and over all night.

That Chrysler starter is such an iconic sound they dubbed it in Gran Torino when Clint starts his Ford F100. 😂

Beautiful car thanks for sharing!

My dad drove Chryslers and Plymouths all thru my youth. My first two cars were Plymouths. That Mopar starter was a part of my life. They also sounded better than any other car starting up

You could always tell when a Mopar started. That “tinny” whine is burnt into my brain!

God, beautiful cars, great sound.
