Thats a demolition derby special! Get it running and off to smash other cars with it. Then off to the scrap yard for an easy couple hundred bucks!

Probably the best use for a car like this; no value when restored, only worth a few thousand if immaculate, and no shortage of them since they made this style for nearly 20 years.

Hey man I have a 79 coupe deville it has 43000 miles on jt all original and it’s been sitting for 15+ years I replaced everything starter battery alternator fluids and I’m about to buy the carberator is their any advice. U can give me to make sure that that car stays with me for generations I’m 18 and I really love that car

They're very simple cars; regular maintenance and use will keep them around for years. That one sat for nearly 20 in utter neglect and came around. You should have no problem. Replace all the rubber as well; belts, hoses, etc. and you'll have a reliable car.

You didn't make that pass safely at all in the Lincoln. If I'd been that oncoming, I'd be p***ed and scared because you were forcing a really stupid risk situation. I see the same dumb stuff daily during my commute and it often results in bang- ups and injury due to impatient or rash reactions and the lack of situational awareness. If you travel farm or rural roads, you deal with slower vehicles rationally. You exhibit really stupid driving skills and you're lucky you haven"t hurt anyone yet. .

Isn’t the block grounded? Meaning, the other glow plugs that are on the same harness are what’s grounding your connection?

Yes, but the issue was a plug grounding through itself causing it to be a direct ground that negated the rest of the plugs.

Hello Sir, I visited your KZfaq channel. Your KZfaq video content is amazing. But Your KZfaq channel subscribers and viewers are not increasing because your KZfaq videos are not using quality full video tags or keywords. SEO score on your KZfaq videos is also not good. This means that your KZfaq videos are not reaching your target audience. Your KZfaq channel will be monetized very easily if your KZfaq videos reach your target audience. If you want I can solve your KZfaq video problems and help grow your channel. If you are free I can talk with you on Google meet or zoom about your KZfaq channel. Thank You Saif
@DraculasCars 5 ай бұрын
Thank you for the offer, but I'm not overly concerned with monetization. I make these videos to share cars I find interesting and to highlight the things that led me to buy them in the first place. I'm ecstatic that others find them and enjoy them, but it's a hobby; not a for-profit enterprise.
