Cool startup videos

[bluecoupe30!]

Like many of us here, I watch a lot of BAT videos about the vehicles offered up for auction. Many aspects of the process, but one of my favourites is the cold start video. Owners take great pains to confirm the car has not been started recently, and get in and turn the key. This current BAT listing shows a 1953 Chrysler New Yorker Town and Country with a 331ci V8. the start up video is, to me, priceless. Starts, seems to want to die, then gains strength, and idles like the V8s we all remember. Note...it doesn't even shudder or appear to stall, ever!

Thread 'Engine sound/noise collection'

Dec 7, 2023

it has been a recent question about this, and as some of the works that we do usually are helped by other´s photos
i wonder if a video collection of engine noises,can help

some noises could be:

exhaust note

cold start

warm iddle

acceleration


it will be good to note which engine are we talking about as m30 m35,...carbs: zenith / weber, EFI...

We don't need cold-startup videos in S. Florida. The best exhaust sounds to my ears are a 5.0 Mustang. Most of those videos on the Web are them leaving a car show and skidding off the road.....

yep, the 5.0 mustang has a great sound.
