I used to have a 1970 Buick GS Skylark 455 I daily drove from 1979, when I was in high school, to 1988. It was not uncommon back then for people to drive cars like that daily. I now own a 1986 Chevy, square body, Crew Cab 1-ton 4X4 that has 12" lift with 40" tires. I do not like to daily drive that truck because it attracts too much attention. I cannot go anywhere with that truck without some dirt bag coming up to me saying "nice truck", "Is it for sale?", and then in the same breath ask "Do you have any spare change?". I cannot leave that thing in a parking lot for 20-minutes without coming back to notes stuck all over it by scamming dirt bags wanting to know if I want to sell it. People want that truck so bad they would be willing to rob me for it at gun point if they could, but too bad for them I have a CCW permit.

Do you have any idea were to get the clips to put the trim back on? Boring for some may be great assistance to a novice who wants to learn.

You can daily anything. Question is, can you handle a KIA totaling your classic?

Great work you should have shown how to get all the chrome and trim off....

Every muscle car i had as a driver was stolen.from me I have a couple now and i lock them up.

m 51 Willis is horrible underneath, plenty of rust.... yours is sweet for sure....

Yes, UNR, if you Google image 1970 Ford F100 stepside custom, that is the location of the custom badge.

Is that a pollution pump on there? Why would a 68-400 engine have a pollution pump?

FYI to future buyers, walk away if VIN doesn't match.

I have a 1965 f100 for sale I'm buffalo NY if you need a parts truck

The 56 Buick centuries were pretty fast. They were probably one of the fastest up into that point.

Hi I have Mark 3 1970 wich vacuan line we desconect for set the time

Very nice original car , restored is great but so is patina. Pedal to the metal..

Looks great

Your exactly right about having to drive these old car's. I have a totally rotisserie restored 65 Galaxie 500 done 20 years ago and the previous owners let it sit and look pretty. Many things needed replaced when i bought it last year. Its a joy to drive and people love seeing it out. Always get stopped by people that like to talk about their experiences back in the day. Btw i never new about the cap holding the straw lol. Thanks for your videos

The last segment pretty much sheds light on one reason auto makers omitted the 100K digit wheel. 90% of cars would go to their grave with that digit still on zero. You know the old saying: They don't make things like they used to? Well, this episode explains one reason for glad they don't make em like they used to!

Anyone who doesn't already know this shouldn't have a driver's license..

Except today's modern engines with low tension piston rings last 80k miles

Great information!

Buick went to 12 volts when they introduced the V-8 in 1953.

If it's a holy Grail motor and it's a true 81 then it would have to be the turbocharged yenko, the last true yanko cars made.

Wow like really timings off not enough fuel expecting it to run 😒

Plz tell me u didn't mix dot 5 w 3 or 4, also dont rapidly pump pedal, all ure doing is " foaming " air i n the fluid, making it harder to expell air.

What an awesome story. That's what America was built on, great stories and relationships. So cool!

You Valvoline racing oil with zinc . New oil no longer has zinc in it and flat tappet cams and lifters can fail without the added protection, or get a zinc adative and use the oil of your choice.

Slotted mags are the best. I once owned a 68 gtx that was the same color as your super bee with the black vinyl top as well. Kinda look the same!

That's my favorite car from my youth it looked great coming at you and the side profile can't be beat.I had a 68 Dodge Coronet but it only had the 318 but I loved the body style.I had too many cars and my landlord said 3 of them had to go and my Coronet was one of them.

Where were you able to get the brake parts for this 56?? Thanks

Really. That car was set up as a mild drag race set up. Sub frame connectors an Sfi scattershield, driveshaft hoop and ladder bars with a multiple spark discharge ignition box. And please next time fill the fuel bowls

That's just a regular run of the mill 454 chevy truck/car engine.. same block you might get in an impala or monte carlo.. truck.. mid 70's smog motor... stump puller.. good torque for the street.. no horsepower till you built them.. that's got oval port iron heads.. exhaust manifolds.. aluminum manifold and a big carb.. wrong manifold at that.. didn't sound like too much of a cam.. bet she doesn't even make 300hp.. closer to two.. i like the car.. but the engine isn't nothing special.. i love a big block.. but not that one.. too heavy anyway.. that car is a good LS swap candidate..

I wish mine would fix itself I’ve replace all the components and it still doesn’t work. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

I always thought that the Century had only three ports on the front fenders . The Roadmaster had four . Guess I was wrong .

I liked the content. No offense but the dramatic music is a bit much.

XCH means counter exchange or parts dept sales. There was a bbc L S 7 at Bob Kendall Chevrolet in Clark County in 1971 when they opened that year. It sat there for two years with a price of $1250. The tag said For Off Road Use Only!!! I think that scared a lot of hillbillies off😅. Sorry bout that. It did disappear finally. I was making a buck 25 an hour back then, my 283 in my '57 Chevy was all I cared about at the time. I did have to turn the volume off to watch the rest of this video, can't stand the narrative at all...sorry hillbilly

thanks

Have you heard of Mortske? He likes those flex-hoses a lot for some reason. ha ha Great car.

WHAT? He doesn't WANT to do any more?? This is an AWESOME ROCK n ROLL MACHINE!!! AHH!! Fix it all the way and set her free!!!

Did you work out what the noise in the 56 Buick engine was? Is it fixed?

Sounds like the belt needs replaced

Had a similar bad experience with 1A Auto last week. I too am done with online parts. I'll watch their DIY videos all day long

you did what a Ford owner would do in that situation just keep cranking it after hearing a concerning noise coming from the engine and it backfiring through the carburetor🤦‍♂️

Any rubbing on the fuel line when gunning the engine will cause a fuel leak. Check out the line is clear to move without any rubbing while driving.

Hope ya bought a really good FIRE Extinguisher! 🧐

Note to self! FUMES IGNITE not the fluid, 😅

Nice Job Man!

The M3 halftrack is a pretty good vehicle considering various roles. Its my top dream vehicle.

you are a joke, did you not see the MSD blaster coil and coil wire on top of the HEI cap with power wires run to the external coil. That means it has been converted to external coil. your not a wiring guru?? your not a car guru, you remind me of a high school shop class teacher those who can't teach. It was a pain to watch you

Do you know if the owner would consider selling? Dream car of mine. Sweet video. Thanks

You have no clue what you’re doing why are you not pouring fuel in bowl?

Just take the back seat out and you can access the trunk and use a flat screwdriver and there's a slot in the truck lock, stick the screwdriver in the slot and turn the screwdriver and the trunk opens
