'66 Buick Back From The Dead! - HOT ROD Unlimited Episode 5
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 апр 2012
- On this episode of HOT ROD Unlimited, we raise a '66 Buick from the dead. After spending 33 years sitting outside in the desert, the broken down Buick Special is revived by David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of HOT ROD and Rick Pewe of 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine.
Rick's mother bought the car when it was near new and parked it when the transmission failed in 1978. In 2011, the guys spent two and a half days wrenching on the car, with the hopes of driving it home from Phoenix to Los Angeles. Come along for the ride and see what happens!
HOT ROD Unlimited appears every other Friday on the new Motor Trend channel. / motortrend

Don't you just love it when Freiburger says "mint".
Neil Ozzieznej BAM
hell yeah I love a smart ass lol
i love when he says "we could die"
Neil Ozzieznej yet when Rick says it, it's not the same.
Some little boys from Haggard starting saying it too. But man..they are the worst mechanics
this is how road kill all began its still timeless video adventure, they should make vacation package like this
Its crazy how wheels and a drop could make a car look that good
"Dude,that doesn't taste right"
One of my favorite cars I've ever owned was my '66 LeSabre. 340, ST400... It was given to me by my shop teacher's aunt when I was in high school. In two days we had a rebuilt 340 dropped in, cleaned up the trans, all the brakes done, new fluids.. I drove that car for almost a year before someone wrecked into it last winter. The Buick 300/340 is a really underappriciated motor! I got 23mpg highway, and put maybe 35-40,000 miles on it in the 8 months or so it was on the road. Man, I miss that car.
So many Roadkill firsts: "Mint!" "Implement of bashing," "Well orchestrated machine," "Look at the action on that!" "It's 10pm and we're going to pack it in for the night..." *Brake Check* and... most importantly... "YES!!!"
"like a glove" as he tosses sheet metal signs over the floor boards...... AHHAHA
When Freiburger and Pewe are together, they absolutely feed off of each other.
"mint" "MINT"
"Flawless" "flawless"
Great show guys! I love all the classics, I have always been a big Buick fan but also love all of the other classics. Road kill rocks! HATS OFF TO YOU both, DAVE AND MIKE, You guys have a great chemistry that makes this show Great and unique!
Thanks! We love making them.
My hats off to all of the unseen people that make the road kill show happen too....TY everyone.....I soooo enjoy your shows!
I had a blue 1967 Buick Special, hard top. But still this brinks back memories! We called it the Bu-Dog
Man I love this car. My mother had a '68 Buick, so looking at this thing just brings me back.
Man, I thought Rick was kinda welling up after the maiden voyage. Sweet ride, guys!
A couple thoughts. You should have known that the wheel cylinders would fail when they bled themselves, the seals let the air trapped past so it was just a matter of time. I like to use a remote oil filter kit in the gas line instead of numerous smaller filters. They trap more crap before plugging and time to change it spin one off spin he new one on. I use a paint strainer on a funnel to reclaim the gas in the filter after changing.
Can't believe they didn't change the Wheel Clyinders and hoses to start with they already had the parts. No way i would have driven out the driveway without changing them.Love the show.
If this was a vacation package adventure I would pay for it!
For the engine to still work after all those years is just amazing.
This HAS to be where Roadkill came from
هخخ
I know this post is old but this is where roadkill came from
I subscribe to 4wheel & Offroad and love it when Pewe digs up some ancient jeep from his backyard and goes wheeling. Great job on these episodes guys.
I enjoyed the video as much as reading the article awhile back. Thanks.
GREAT piece. Loved it. Look forward to updates on this car. Awesome.
I used to have a '68 Buick Special Deluxe. It was a 4 door sedan and had a roof, but it was the same color and I loved that old car, lol.
Love the floorboards, it’s fantastic
This should've been the first episode of roadkill.
I think it is the first episode of roadkill that never aired

The first episode of roadkill awesome
Man that car isnt Roadkill! Its got the damn hood on it. I have always loved the buicks, refined as designed
if you watch the older, longer version of this episode they actually take the hood of.
So roadkill indeed !

3:03 that doesn't taste right...XD lol...classic!!
These videos are so unreal that I feel as if I'm watching a TV Show! :O

Awesome Buick
The water pump... Mint😀
I really enjoy this series guys! How about finding an Oldsmobile ;)
7:20 "We got fluid in the rear end" lol
Awesome Service! Product just as described - Super Fast Shipping - Will buy from again...Highly Recommend - A++++++++++++++++
These videos are amazing guys. This is SO much better than Top Gear U.S. that they should honestly be ashamed, they're nowhere near same level as this, this is quality.
This is what automotive shows SHOULD be. Not dainty pretty boys who think they look great on camera, but guys who know their sh*t and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty.
damn that look awesome.... i want one
Holy shit. David actually wore shoes back then.
wish I could find deals like that!! diamond in the rough!
What wheels do you guys have it sitting on at the end?
did he say, "hit the autocross?" in a 66 buick special? daring!
I love the sheet metal bender
i had a 65 skylark sedan with the 300 2 speed....the trans was awesome....dual range first gear...the Super Turbine 300...variable vane torque converter
"I feel pretty safe in this, this is good." hahahaha
that thing is awesome as frig!
good job
You should do videos like this in Argentina I own a 1970 Dodge GTX, awesome looking car
This video borders on Greatness!!! If I was to describe this video in one word, that word would be "AMERICA".
its a remote starter switch. it looks fancy but all it actually is, is a push-to-make switch with two wires and a pair of crocodile clips. you clip one croc clip onto the battery feed to the starter motor, the other onto the starter motor solenoid, press the button and the engine will crank over. if you have the ignition switch turned on it will start and run. you can do the same with a screwdriver or other metal implement so long as you're careful not to short-circuit anything.
I want one of these!
Woah Homeless Dave has shoes on, how respectable
As of Sunday August 23, 2020 --- Freiburger has put the Buick up for sale.
love tuning
these guys are genius'.
I think that Buick looks cool tbh.
These vids are so damn addicting and interesting
epic floor bords
thanks
more on that car please!
Damn! If I could do this in Germany... =( But really nice idea! I love your videos!
Here's a challenge: Find an '87 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser and bring it back to life! I love those old wagons, and I have one myself.
