3 smart options. 1. Restore it for show. 2. Restore it to drive. 3. Sell it to someone who can afford to do either of those things. 1 dumb option. Let it continue to rot.

And not one computer in it

Many of us prefer period correct cars, but not period correct dirt and rust. That's just silly.

Since when is a car more valuable when it is dirty? The patina fad is done it was a horrible idea to begin with. It's just people that decided they didn't want to put the real work in to restore these treasures.

I hate silent videos.

This is the most ridiculous comment I ever heard. To drive the car as it was has nothing to do with it's value. It's real value has everything to do with it's restoration, which is what I thought the owner was doing by cleaning it up in order to see what needs done and what may be salvageable. Someone that restores cars doesn't care if it's discovered in a barn, a garage, a junkyard, or in a backyard ! This car shouldn't be on the road without first checking safety issues period !

You can polish a turd,but it’s still a turd!!

People who can't afford a beautiful restoration will say "I love the patina look" LOL

I am old enough to have seen them new and it breaks your heart to see them like this😢

Why the bs hype of “ loses half its value in 10 minutes”? It was obviously in need of paint and interior to begin with. Just for more clicks and views?

Was wishing for some jj peals.

I think she likes you

Other than the surface rust, & some other minor cosmetic imperfections, that car is extrememly clean, & completely viable for a legit restoration!

One of the best built muscle cars ever .

That brings back some memories, a Ziebart sticker and the car alarm lock on the drivers front fender. Haven't seen a lock on a fender in a looooooooooong time.

So it needs $5000 worth of body work and paint and a $20 exhaust manifold gasket to be a 6 fiqure car 🙄

Full Restoration it’s only RIGHT

Nice, interesting options on it, Power door locks but not windows, a/c ect. I suspect the "button" on the lower left front fender was a security system. The gernerally were higher up and used a key much like a soda maching to set them.

Dump the dirt, fix the rust, paint it, get it running and enjoy the hell out of it.

Clickbait

Half its value loss is not a significant amount as this car unfortunately is not highly sought after….

My dad left me 3 of those. I didn’t know they were worth anything. Matter of fact I sold 1 to a friend for $350

Video sucks

Oh goodness. What a stylish brute those were and still are. Kinda like putting a tuxedo on s pro wrestler. Dressed for the ball and ready for back alley throw down.

Was it in the barn or behind it ??

give 175.00 for it if u do good clean up job on it

That car deserves a complete frame-off restoration. The body appears to be completely straight. All the rubber components are probably shot.

Did you notice the trailer hitch mounted to the back bumper this car is a true survivor

Beautiful car the way it sits, always been a fan of the stage 1”s

Have not done this in the past and this is by far the best video for replacement of the turn signal wiring.

Get to the point puto I just spent 3 minutes hearing you whine

I like the patina look really means I don't have the funds to restore it. What ever floats your boat

I had one to same color too

First stop would be maaco

I took my driving test in my parents' nearly new 1966 Olds Toro. Same color etc. It was a beautiful car. Washed and waxed that thing many times. Thanks for the memories. PS I passed the driving test.

Big help, the wire trick worked great and thanks for including the reinstall took my apart years ago and couldn’t remember how it went together. Finally got it back today.

My dad & mom had a 1972 Buick Skylark 2-door with a 350ci motor. It looked almost identical to this car, maybe a lighter blue. The entire family almost got killed in that car while driving to on the Long Island Expressway to my uncle’s house.

No such thing as a cutty its a cuttlass n no such thing as a donk its a chevy impala 🇺🇲

Its always better to do it wen the car is on 🇺🇲

Nice ride 🇺🇲

Hey it mark zuckerberg lol 😂

Hey Adam, glad I found your channel. Definitely enjoyed seeing two unique classics get back in action - especially the Sun Coupe! I have a 72 Sun Coupe that I need to get the retractable top repaired/restored. Do you carry or know of any companies that carry some kind of kit for these tops that I could buy and install before I plan to spend the bigger bucks on a complete restoration? I’d appreciate any resources you’d be willing to share because even on the v8buick forum, there just isn’t much for the Sun Coupe variety of Skylarks regarding the folding rib and wire mounted spring mechanisms, etc …

I'm 7 minutes in.....and I don't see u adjusting the pillar bolts, I'll keep watching

What a beauty! Thanks for sharing

1970 looks way better n i.use to own one back in 1998 1 owner gold white vynal top n white interior black carpet dash n bucket seats pain 350$ here in Northern calif 🇺🇲

Ill bet the lifter bores are not pretty. Extra clearance affects the lifter to cam interface. Also check the crown on the new lifter faces. THAT has been a real source of cam break in failures.

Whoever assembled that engine needs ......

I got a 1972 dont have time to fix up and 100 s of new parts with 455

How could I confirm whether Mini Cooper Parts Paradise and SPARE PARTS SHOP are legit or not?
