Doug back to reviewing obscure insane cars, feels like the old days
So much better than the hypercars
He knows his core audience
Agreed, sometimes old is gold. I didn’t even know this even existed until now ❤
Wdym "back" he was always doing these
@@B.R.BGarage Test Drive Off Road 3 is where I first found out this Durango existed.
I love the undercurrent of joy/excitement in Doug’s voice when he reviews one of these weird older cars, compared to how he sounds with the newer stuff.
So true!
Way more exiting than a new McLaren.
I'd rather watch a video of something weird and obscure like this than the newest most limited edition $3B Lamboclarenarri.
It wasn't long ago Doug was saying new cars and boring new SUV's/supercars- are what his core audience want to view! What I find incredibly ironic!!!! Is he's the one that's *influenced* modern classics! To come on trend. Technically through his influence he's unironically changed back his own demographics to viewer's wanting old cars.
He gets extra herky jerky when he reviews cars like these
Doug the type of guy who will tease you with an outdoor review to only go inside for the actual review.
Such a silly goose
Yeah, I genuinely miss the outdoor reviews, the indore reviews seem more "cold" and "corporate" but from a comfort stand point I understand why he does it
Probably mostly because of the wind noises outside, and his mic was kinda cheap but it worked haha @@keithhasafastcar
This is a rather obscure thing to be bothered over.
@@fortyfive4632 It doesn't seem he is bothered by it.
Everything I have ever heard about Carroll Shelby makes him sound like the most hilariously chaotic person ever, something I deeply and profoundly respect. RIP you legend.
Matt Damon played him in "Ford vs. Ferarri". He played it very well. From what I understood he was a hellraiser in real life
He's also responsible for the Chili's restaurant chain. He would take his son-in-law to chili cook-off events, who then would go on to open a restaurant aimed at emulating the feeling of going to those chili cook-offs with his father in law (Carroll Shelby).
@@dawson674 THATS why I LOVE Chili's. Well cook me in habenero and call me spicy.
He’s definitely one of the all time greats I wish I would’ve been able to meet him at least once
Omni GLH (Goes Like Hell) Omni GLHS (Goes Like Hell S'more) Good old Carroll Shelby. lol
"You gotta remember, this is the old days, the late '90s" *digs grave, salutes, jumps in head first*
I hear someone say 10 years ago. I'm still thinking 90s
@@oliverdelgado6952 Just a heads up to make you feel older, 10 years ago was 2014.
This is the kind of content we want from Doug
not in this dark ugly garage
@@Fony_turgesonTrue the PDF file Bunker ruins the vibe.
Yeah but unfortunately it's the rarity since selling out and will only get worse & less as he does the bare minimum to fulfill contract
And also great one.
That rear console could have come from any of the Big Three American automakers. Carroll Shelby's history with Ford is obviously well known. He had the Dodge/Mopar relationship, as this video and the Shelby Daytona demonstrate. And, at this time, he was also building the Shelby Series 1, which was largely composed of GM parts (Olds 4.0 v8, GM switchgear up the wazoo). I guarantee, Bro was boys with every janitor and security guard in Detroit - anything to get him into any warehouse, storage closet, or parts caddy he might need. Total legend. American hero.
Its a "Wolf Deluxe Executive Series Center Console" that is missing the lower armrest.
@@95mushroom What's Wolf? a custom interiors brand, or some OEM related co?
@@95mushroomwhat car did these come in or were they just like a specialty aftermarket brand?
@@_dmfd Just an aftermarket brand. They made car bras as well. Seems to have come and gone in the 90's/00's. The consoles were for minivans, think early Dodge Caravans, Ventures, Windstars that had front captain chairs, but nothing between the seats.
@@coscorrodrift Wolf is the brand name. They were just an aftermarket company, perhaps more popularly known for the car bras they made. Apparently they were made in the USA, which I'm sure Shelby would have liked. Maybe they were located near the Shelby plant?
Slight correction.... when the durango came out in 1998 it had either a 5.2 V8 or the 5.9 V8. The 4.7 wasn't available until 2000. Also kind of funny is in 1999 ONLY they offered a 3.9 V6 but only on 2wd models.
That 3.9 V6 had less than 200hp, it was probably underpowered for an SUV this size.
Nobody cares
@@Ethan_Alexandurabout you
@@Ethan_Alexandur you are absolutely right. Nobody cares about internet trolls like yourself. 🤣
@@Ethan_Alexandur you are absolutely right. Nobody cares about internet trolls like yourself. 🤣
i think we need to bring the outdoor reviews back, much better than the garage
Why? Who cares?
@@atmartensbecause audio is better outdoors
@@royalplays8733 are you new here?
100% Also the acoustics in the garage is awful...
Periodt. And Daddy Doug needs to go back to getting into 3rd rows and cramped 2nd rows.
This reminds me of taking random cars into Trans Fender in GTA San Andreas and finding out you can body kit them!
This car was added to GTA online a little while back, so you can take it into LS customs in SA and body kit it :)
@@Luuboxwill this car returned in GTA VI?
One of the highlights of my life was meeting Mr. Carrol Shelby at Pebble Beach back when I was a kid. He was such a cool dude, really helped spark my interest in all things automotive!
My Granny misses her Durango, It had the 5.9 magnum, Even though it wasn't a Shelby, It was still very fun to drive
wow she is a granny
Ur granny is a certified rocket
You have an awesome granny.
Same with my dad's Ram. It has some Magnum in it when I was in high school with an exhaust setup and it was so fun to drive!
Imagine you cruising on an early Sunday morning and you hear this Borla-type exhaust thunder behind you, thinking its some douche that turns out to be Granny on the way to church.
19:18 brings a whole new meaning to the term "blinker fluid"
I love how these still straight up used the same tail lights as that era's Chrysler minivans.
Doug knows how to reel it back to the car enthusiast roots, I’m glad he gives these forgotten gems the love and attention they deserve
Omg, this was a throw back to Test Drive Off Road 3! The color scheme is hard to forget!
That's the first thing I thought top, except it was the TD Off Road Wide Open version I played back in the day haha good times
Nothing is a joy to watch more than these old car reviews...
OG SRT Durango
Agreed
The forefather of Hellcat😎
That rear center console is an aftermarket item I had one of those in one of my vehicles.
The seller of this SUV is jumping for joy. This review will push the final price by an impressive amount
This exact car was sold back in june last year on Cars and Bids for $22,777 and had 300 miles less Current bid for it is $14k with 6 days left, yesterday was $11.6k It's probably getting sold for the same amount than last time at best
Interesting, I had never heard of this car, and I guarantee thatDoug’s review is going to influence this auction. We shall see but I predict at least 33K
They should of made 360 of these SUV’s. That would have made sense with its name and power output.
I remember many years ago I was at a dodge dealership and the salesman and I hopped in a Durango from this era to go look at another vehicle and he told me never buy a Durango they are junk. At the time I couldn’t believe the salesman told me that. Only honest salesman I’ve come across.
He must of had a bad batch. I had 2 Durangos, between 98-03, black r/ts. There were awesome!
@@kyliedadify Same here. I never had any issues. And was so easy to work on.
I never had a problem and I had two of them. I got almost 300k out of my 4.7 before I sold it.
I saw this in the background of a short and have been hyped ever since. I love this thing.
These are the only spoilers on the internet that i can think of that would upset me, so I never watch the shorts
(Other than a civic with a spoiler, haha funny)
Doug the kind of guy who steals kids' T-shirts from random washing lines he sees out and about.
😭😭
Then he sells them on cars & bids
that’s pretty creepy ngl
Nah but he does steal road signs
@@BingBangBrine And license plates
I'm so glad that they put CAUTION FAN on the fan shroud because the first thing everybody does is reach down there and grab it while it's running.
I tricked a guy into reaching in there once. He was drunk and high, he had some nice gashes on 4 fingers. It was hilarious 😂 he screamed 😱
My neighbor had one back in the 90s. Really nice. Same blue with stripes. I don’t know if there were different Shelby versions, but it was a Shelby Durango. I know that.
I knew about this as a kid when this was featured in the classic PS2 and Xbox video game Test Drive Off-road Wide Open! So I was probably the very few and rare kids to ever know about this Shelby Durango in existence!
My first car was a dodge durango 2002 ! still the best naturally sounding V8, i never need to put an exhaust system on it ! but the Shelby was my dream for sure
Dodge should have shoe horned the Viper V10 in this! That would be legendary
Dude, imagine. I don't doubt they kicked the idea around, but I don't think the 7.0 would fit unless there was more modification that was worth it. But I'm sure if they did, the car scene would've changed over night.
They put so much thought into this, and changed almost everything. I love it
This is the stuff we love and come here for. Reviews of modern cars are a dime a dozen. Nobody is reviewing cars like this. And that's why it's great!
Really appreciate the videos Doug , long-term subscriber here. Buddy you really need to solve the echo issue, Thank you. Best of luck 👍
learned to drive from my parents 1999 V8 durango, this suv holds a special place in my heart
3:05 ...but the GMC Typhoon existed...
Exactly.
Out of production for years at this point in time
"On the side of the engine bay we have the kenne bell optimizer computer, which doesn't sound or look as cool as the kenne bell supercharger but, its there to optimize the computer." Doug doesn't fail to make the funny remarks 😂😂
My Grandpa had one of these, ended up selling it to someone in Cali in the mid to late 2000s. It was such a cool car, never realized how cool or special it was given I was just a kid at the time, and that isn't the stereotypical form factor of what a kid thinks a "cool car" is
There we go. Back to Dougy, weird cars again. Very nice.
Hey Doug that's an aftermarket center console between the rear seats, it might even be an older version of the "Clutter Catcher" that was sold at WalMart back in the day.
Stacy Chrysler Dodge & Jeep in Owensboro Kentucky had one of these back in 1998-1999 when I was a salesman. It was crazy and especially since the blue Dodge viper coupe was so intriguing. This was the Hellcat Durango of the time.
The joy in his face when he accelerated and the whine of the supercharger is a match made in heaven and music to my ears
I didn't knew that the Dodge Durango had a Shelby version. Man, it looks awesome! Now this is an authentic American V8 SUV, my friends!
Doug is the kinda guy who will chase a car on foot Terminator 2 style if his Doug Database detects the car is sufficiently quirky with many features.
In the late 80’s I had a 1984 Dodge Charger Shelby! Anyone else? CS stitched into the headrests… turbo bump on the hood. Loved that thing!
Great review - it reminded me of earlier Doug videos, and tastefully mentioned its availability on cars & bids without wrecking the review
This is an absolute certified "hell yeah brother" moment. Been waiting for you to review one of these for YEARS.
I think the front center console in the back Singer console should’ve been joined in the middle and made us one long supercar looking console.
I have stared at one of these in someone's driveway in my neighborhood while passing by without knowing what it was for YEARS, and now I know how special of a car it is. Super cool!
I absolutely love the videos like this! The limited number vehicles I read about as a kid but never saw in person.
360 HP from a supercharged 6 liter V8! Today that makes 7-800…. Unbelievable inefficiency on those engines
Badges? We don’t need no steenking badges!
*walks away laughing in a raucous manner*
I had a 2003 “mango” as we called it (FYI it was charcoal gray). The sport version without the 3rd row. They are oddly fun to drive. The steering is nimble, the ride is Cadillac but you feel like you’re in a tank because of how wide and heavy they are, and it all mixes to give you that smile Doug had on his face.
My first job out of high school was selling dodges at trader buds westside dodge in Columbus Ohio in 1999 these and the viper and the Dakota r/t were awesome
My European mind cannot comprehend this thing
My American mind doesn't get it either. It's a 90's vehicle with cheesy 90's ground effects and wheels. They should've dropped the wheels and ground effects and concentrated on performance, would've been so much nicer.
It's weird how they went like 98% of the way there leaving out just a few bits. Such as not just making the hood vents functional (or at least marginally functional by at least being actually vent holes), and skipping a few trim pieces with the carbon fiber replacements (window/lock controls on the door, and the map light area at the top, are a few I noticed). Also Doug mentioning the octane knock warning sticker but not mentioning the quirkier related item right below it. The actual like... Knock guage system that measured knock from low to high (as if any is acceptable). I also would have liked to know if it was RWD or AWD/4WD. Durangos had an option for either, but would have been interesting to know if this version was only offered in RWD. Either way a pretty interesting vehicle. It wasn't even "fast" for the time with a 7.1 0-60mph time. A stock Grand Prix GTP of the same era would do 0-60 in 6.6 for example (and that's not a limited edition, or directly sport focused vehicle). Definitely fairly quick for an SUV of the time though, and the more impressive part is probably the massive brake/suspension upgrades, as well as the interior changes. I feel like they could have went the extra 2% more with getting at least a little more power out of it, as well as finishing out those extra details. Then it could have done the part, instead of just looking it. Still it's really a cool vehicle, and this one is definitely a time capsule version.
There's a mish mash of them. Some have the 2wd, some have the AWD, and some had the floor shifter. The 2wd and floor shifters are what I'm personally looking for.
My art teacher in 9th grade had one of these and he loved it so much, I never knew it was such a unique quirky vehicle. Love you Mr. P! from Long Island
Someone in the company opened up their JC Whitney catalog (probably in the men’s room) and found that console. So they ordered 300 of them. I love looking at that catalog with its different parts and pieces for your car of choice.
Love these first gen Durangos so much. This and the Jeep ZJ 5.9 are truly peak 90s SUVs imo. Rugged, utilitarian, AND fast. It’s extremely wishful thinking, but I wish Stellants would someday build a modern Durango on a shortened RAM platform instead of a crossover. Make it a real SUV again. While they’re at it, they should give the JGC its straight axles back too.
My wife’s Volvo XC90 Recharge does 0-60 mph in less than 5 seconds. It is insane how far we have come.
Newer cars are sooooooo much faster
Modern cars are so fast. I remember timing my Volvo 240's 0-60 and it was like 11 seconds 😂
@@danielknepper6884and they're also faster, in terms of depreciation
GMC Typhoon from 93 does it in 5.3
Honestly, Doug is among the top YTers who bring entertainment and information in equal measure. Giving credit where due; keep rocking my man!
Thank you so much for your contribution to this amazing car, Mr. Caution Fan. Your legacy will not be forgotten
9:28 Caution Fan, lmao
Why do almost all cars from 20+ years ago have that text SO large
@@cfothough idk...maybe they didn't want peoples fingers to get chopped off from the big metal clutch fan? Maybe. Just a guess.
LMAO @@banneddamn
@@banneddamn Well duh, I'm just wondering when the shift to have the text all small happened lol
Even carroll had said what he did with dodge around this time was a mistake and wished he had stayed in partnership with ford
Any partnership with such a terrible manufacturer is an automatic fail. Dodge/Fiat/Chrysler/Jeep- vehicles of poor engineering, terrible resale, horrific reliability, and an overall embarrassment to be seen in let alone own.
@@ozarkliving7263 Until they leave you in the dust with your mouth hanging open. We understand why you might be butthurt.
Gone in 60 seconds made me want a Shelby Gt500. couldn't afford Eleanor but ive owned 4 newer 500's and currently a Durango Hellcat, cool to see the crossover collaboration that Shelby had w/ Dodge even though he's better known for his work w/ Ford. The SP360 is very much an early Durango Hellcat concept
There's one local to me in very similar shape that I see at car shows with a plaque that details all the changes/upgrades that never fails to put a smile on my face.
This is why I subscribed to Doug's channel.
I wish he didn’t sign the wheels, because now I would feel bad about replacing the terribly designed wheels with better looking ones
Yeah! They look like aftermarket wheels you'd buy at the tire store!
Definitely gives off an American Racing vibe
You could replace the wheels, but keep the "factory" ones as well
It almost looks like a Forester with that body kit. The big square square, blocky look. I love it
Dude that looks absolutely nothing like a Subaru.
If you squint incredibly hard at it, I can kind of almost sorta maybe kind of see it. But that thing is like, twice the size. Though, performance-wise, it's about as fast as a Forester XT
Didn’t even know this was a thing until now. A neighbor of mine had one of these and I always thought it was just an aftermarket body kit with Shelby stickers slapped onto a Durango. Crazy.
I love your videos! Keep up the great work, Doug!
Doug is like the sheldon cooper of the car world and i love it!
If a car could be the Gatorade blue flavour, this is the one.
That seating and seat situation is actually pretty awesome! Regardless if the 3rd row is a bench. Nice touch.
Nice video Doug been watching you for few years now lol watching kinda inspired me to start back making KZhead content 💯
21:43 "That was how 90s SUVs where"...... and we loved them
It's crazy that they could only get 360hp from a 5.9l supercharged engine. A hemi with an intake could make more just a few years later without a supercharger.
The Hemi is light years ahead in design. The Magnum engines are essentially the same small block LA engines from the 60s-70s with EFI and a few upgrades.
The normal 5.9 mag only really made 245hp, after all it's just an iteration on the LA block from the 60s/70s. It's like the difference between a small block 350 and an LS
One of my close family members has a connection with someone who has an insane collection of Shelby vehicles made by the man himself, including a 1/1 prototype he designed from the ground up. I got to check them out and touch them. Amazing without even turning it on haha
Omg you actually found one woe and that ones in such good condition. I saw a TikTok of the history of the Durango and saw this. That’s cool woe
You should review the 2000s Buick Rainer GNX, or the Saab 97X Aero. The luxurifued weirdest, and rarest performance SUV of the 2000s, and it was on the same platform as the Chevy Trailblazer
The Rainer GNX was never produced. Just a show vehicle
@@jacobyo99 ohh okay
@@jonanthonylosito2004 it was just the trailblazer SS and Saab 9-7x aero
The wheels and body kit look like something from AutoZone. The factory 5.9 RT Durango looked a lot better in my opinion.
Yeah the wheels look like they came from a tire store!
@@volvo09 Yeah, I was thinking the same. I've never liked chrome on any wheel really.
A review I'm glad was made. WE NEED OBSCURE CARS BACK!!
Super cool. I love random performance SUVs and trucks from back in the day. Totally reminds me of being in high school checking out all the magazines.
Check out THIS! Durango SP360 on Cars & Bids! crsnbds.com/durango-shelby-sp360
You seem to not understand how Shelby works. They're a massive manufacturer. You keep talking about Dodge wouldn't have made this and that. Dodge made the base of this thing, nothing else. Shelby buys 300 of them then designs and makes (or has made) all the upgrade parts. The center console wouldn't have been in a Dodge, you wasted your time looking for it. Shelby bought 300 of them from an aftermarket company, it's just a random generic van front seat console.
basically same power as the new toyota 4cyl. weve come a long way
Or even a 3 cylinder from a GR Corolla
Had a Durango for my first car and was obsessed with it. Of course knew about the SP360!
This might have been a large car for the 90's, but Doug sitting in front of it kept making me think it actually looked small. Modern SUVs are friggin' huge, by comparison.
7:46 Doug's the kind of guy who can afford to have someone else film his reviews but he's still doing the camera work himself.
what do you mean, he's been filming these by himself for years
@@ksawiprod9140He said that Doug could afford to have someone film him but he still chooses to do it himself
The blue and white color scheme is more than just a callback to Shelby, it is the international auto racing color scheme for the US, similar to British green, German silver, or Italian red. Famous Mustangs and Corvettes also used the same color scheme.
my favorite doug videos are the ones where i learn about a car i never knew existed like this
It puts a smile on your face and that's enough. It looks and feels good.
I much prefer the older car reviews like this, the new car reviews just feel like commercials
I remember reading this in car magazines
good for you, no one cares... that isn't of any value to anyone
I guess I'm over of "those"guys now, but ☝️ the 5.9 had 250HP in 03 the RT got 255. The roof rack replacement weren't actually anything different from the regular Durango just painted to match. Great video Doug. Glad you finally got one of these cool weird Durangos
Back in the 90s I had a 94 Supra TT , Black with No Wing, with a few mods: downpipe, turbotimer, greddy exhaust, nothing major, but it went pretty good! I was on a pretty empty Toronto neighbourhood street around 11am and was approaching a Stop Sign when a Blue Dodge Dakota (The truck version of this ^^ SUV) pulled beside. We both looked over and decided to GO! All I saw was Truck Bed and License Plate! It was one of the fastest trucks I had ever seen. It just hooked and quietly fcked off! When we got to the next light he told me it had the 5.9 but with a Turbo Kit he put together running 18 pounds of Boost. His BOOSTED V8 wrecked my I6 TT. LOL!
Doug is the type of guy who farts in every car he reviews so they always have a piece of him.
Looks like a toy
those wheels have a HotWheels look to them for sure
Doug‘s Voice echoing from 2 Different Microphone Soundlines put over the video at the same time after the Durongo revving is priceless !
Reviewing cool classic vehicles keeping you big as hell 💪🏽
Doug is the type of guy to stand when he poops
It looks like trash ngl
Yes Doug! Yessssss!!! Thank you you for this.
This is sacrilegious, Doug didn't even once mention the comfortable seats while driving which greatly adds to the appeal of the car!!!
