It's been a while! RUclips randomly demonetized my channel around 5 months ago with no specific reasoning given. After an appeal, we're back in business!
That's crazy that they demonetized you, gave no reason. But they allow political channels of all stripes to do and say whatever they want. NOT COOL RUclips!!!
Welcome back! The '68 Charger was the best-looking Charger, imo. The Buick GS 455 was great on the street, with all that low end torque. An awesome race between 2 classics...cheers! 👏🍻
Nice to see realistic times from the muscle cars. I think nostalgia has colored our memories of these cars, making us think they were faster than they really were. Love tp see them racing!!
I bought a 1970 455 GS when I was 17 years old. I went from driving a 64 3 on the tree Plymouth Valiant slant 6, to this beast. Almost wrecked it on the way home after I purchased it. Raced it often on the street and surprised a lot of built rods. I wish that I knew what I had back then. Would have never sold it.
Buddy bought a 455 Buick stage one back in the mid 70's when I had the Charger. We did not know much about Buicks back then but this one was black on black and very mean looking and he got it really cheap back then. Soo I lived a mile or two from Fremont drag strip and every wednesday you could run a car for I think 5 bucks.. it was called grudge night... basically run what ya brung and everyone drove the cars to the track. I raced the 68 Charger m buddy had against my 59 Vette that had a bored out 283 four speed. the Charger did 13.8 and my car 13.9 either car would beat the Buick but REALY close.. like driver skill close.
Good to have you back, was wondering where you went. I took a hiatus too, just because winter was booooooooring. My older brother and the one right after me both have Chargers, 70 and 69 respectively. Neither of them have been driven in over 35 years. They were cheap to buy in the mid 1980s, nobody wanted them back then. Oldest isn't going to do anything with his, the younger is fixing his so he can drive it.
If the Stage 1,s were the Hemi Killers, i guess the standard 455,s were the 440 Killers ! Those 455 Buicks were no joke, especially Stage 1 equipped GS,s and GSX,s. And so glad to see you back.
I had a 68 R/T back in the mid 70's.. belonged to a buddy.. it got hit in the rear quarter panel and was a write off by the insurance company. The car drove great tho with no issues except the ugly damage. I think the pay out from the insurance was like $500 lol the car was white with a green vinyl top and green interior (not as bad as it sounds) it was a 440 automatic and would burn the tires till .. well.. forever. Really liked that car even with the damage. Now I own a 2014 Kings county Sheriff hemi R/T 345" 5 speed auto with 107,000 miles on it. 370 hp (maybe a tad more with my simple mods) the car is pretty much the same specs as my old 68 but more suited to my 70 year old immature nature lol 161 mph top speed. a tad better quarter mile time. Four Doors... who would think I would want 4 doors but it is great! Black with 'make night day' spotlights Every bit as mean looking in its way as the 68 was. This car handles better than the original (independent rear) and gets up to.... (when my girlfriend drives it for a while) 26 MPG The brakes? LOL this one has the one year only GIANT Canadian things put you through the windshield stopping power. Steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps.
I was at the track last year in September 2023. I saw this match up myself. I know the driver of the charger and he (specifically) told me that he missed a gear in the second run which then led to the tie-breaking third run. It can only be said that it was the Buick's day on that particular run. Both cars were evenly matched power-wise, weight-wise etc. I have personally seen my friend turn a best of 13.60 set up just as you see it in the video. Typically, his charger runs 13.80's-13.90's when things all come together. It seems that the 4-speed unit requires just the right finesse by the driver. In the past, the unit he has was called the "spaghetti-shifter" so, it wasn't exactly the most efficient unit put in place for manual owners. Still in all, my friend fares generally quite well against most foes despite using a manual. However, a well-tuned car (opponent) with a quicker reaction time or speedier shifting (here and there) does take the win. I respect both cars and their drivers for putting forth their best that day although, my heart is with the charger for its "bad to the bone" looks !
Welcome back and thank you for this classic duel! So bummed the Charger lost! Don't underestimate those big block Buicks even though I'm a Mopar fan all the way through! Glad you're back Cara and Zebras! 🤗
I've been a critical bastard--that's because I love your channel and want it to get better--but I really missed these videos. It's good to have you back..
@9ZERO6 my guess is that he referred to a transmission as a "tranny" and got demonetized by the transhumanists for hate speech. I made that mistake when discussing the Satanic opening ceremonies at the Olympics.
Buick was faster in the last race. Charger was quicker. Came down to cutting a better light for the Buick. Chalk one up for the better driver. Both are awesome Muscle Cars.
Nice to see you back man! Always loved your content. That sucks about RUclips demonetizing your videos but then again RUclips’s pretty much known for making awful decisions and never explaining why.
I bought a 1970 Buick GS 455 back in 1978 for only $700. That car today in the same condition would be worth $70,000 today. Mine was Fire Engine red with a white vinal top, and a white interior. It had bucket seats, center console shift with a T400 Auto. I ran that thing at OCIR back in the late 70's to mid 80's for fun, but never really thrashing it hard. I traded it in 1988 for a 1985 Chevy K30 1-ton 4X4 truck. Today that Chevy truck would only be worth $30,000, but the GS would be worth more than two times that.
@@josephnewcomb5670 I never owned one, but went for a ride in a GSX Stage 1 4-speed, that was stock minus Headers and Aftermarket Exhaust, I'll never forget how hard it pinned me to the seat, i was never a GM person, but i always Loved the Buick GS and GSX,s such beautiful cars with that insane Buick Torque.
Mr C & Z, It is absolutely fantastic you are back again. You did the same thing about 2 years ago, & I thought you will be back in September. It is just good to know you are okay. Cheers Louis Kats your number 1 Fan in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 🇺🇸
YO!!!!! Let's GOOOOO! I had a '71 GS 455, fun car. I have a lowly '70 Skylark now, and that thing was over $4000 new. I still have the original window sticker :)
Look man, I watch a lot of online videos, I mean a lot, plus I never comment on RUclips. With that said, I look forward to watching two main shows, Roadkill Garage & Cars & Zebras. Those are the ones I really look forward to. You need to make videos every week. I love the commentary in the videos. Take care & hope to see more from you!
It seems like to me that the 68 charger should have mopped up on that Buick and it didn't. I know that the Buick 455 is no slouch but it's not even a stage one and the Buick is heavier with less I don't get it but then that's okay.
As much as I loved the '68-'70 Dodge Charger dearly, I knew it wouldn't win. The Buick GS were known to be Hemi killers and the Mopar itself wasn't aerodynamic to begin with.
I signed up for notifications on this one and no notification happened... I had to come looking for the video. Man, I tell ya RUclips can suck a chode with their nonsense. I've missed your videos, glad you are back. And I like the featured fan ride. If I had something other than my 13:55 worth of 3rd gen Ram I would send it in.
Glad to see you back! I was close to US131 on a race weekend a few weeks ago but the flyer was vague enough I didn't want to drive an hour and drop the coin for entry to maybe not see the sweet sweet FAST cars on the day I had free.

Me and dad use to watch you every episode. He passed away while you were gone. First one without him. ❤️
RIP to the big guy
Sorry for your loss.
Praying for you and your family.
My condolences to you buddy! I know that pain all too well. My heart goes out to you.
It’s been too long. Please bless us with fast cars and your humor.

Man it’s about time! We were all getting worried.
Nice to see realistic times from the muscle cars.
I think nostalgia has colored our memories of these cars, making us think they were faster than they really were.
Love tp see them racing!!
When your average family car would turn 10 second 0-60 times, these cars were considered very quick at the time.

440... Magnum (condom wrapper) ! I literally spit my drink out laughing. This guy is hysterical 😂😂😂
Nice Charger. Ever notice that the one in the Bullitt chase scene lost about 8 hubcaps? Best chase scene ever, though.

Did you happen to notice the A/C compressor on the Buick ?
Going Fast With Class always.
Glad you're back. RUclips got boring.
The Buick GS 455 had 350hp and 510 lbft.? Makes it obvious which number is actually doing the work!
Awesome matchup. Hats off to the driver of rhe Buick who was wicked consistent. Looked like the Charger missed 2nd gear in 2nd race which is too bad
My dad had a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum with dual quads. It had every hypo part Dodge had for it at the time. 😁
Good Day. I bought a 1968 Charger RT 440 Auto with all the options in 1970. Great Car. LOVE the Buick TOoo!
Thanks & Best Regards
I think charger missed 3rd gear on 2nd race - that Buick is beautiful - 455 and a 4 spd - woo woo !
Welcome back and thank you for this classic duel! So bummed the Charger lost! Don't underestimate those big block Buicks even though I'm a Mopar fan all the way through! Glad you're back Cara and Zebras! 🤗
That Buick ran damned good!
GS for the win. Fastest production year
Glad to see you back!!!!
Alright cars & zebras I love it 68 charger 440 4 speed Buick GS 455 4speed way to come back guns a blazing great video as always
👊👍
I've been a critical bastard--that's because I love your channel and want it to get better--but I really missed these videos. It's good to have you back..
Oh...YOU chased him away for 7 months? Not cool.

Dominic Toretto approves this Dodge!!
Dang that Charger is showroom stock. My brother’s stocker did 14.14 in 1970.
I had a 1968 GS 400 with a high compression head 400 engine and auto trans. I smoked many 455's with it.
That Buick driver is rinse and repeat bracket racing ready. Back to back to back 14.16@100mph
With a stick shift!
Glad to see ya back. Hope there's more to come.
Love that Charger!!! Beautiful machine.
Both gorgeous cars and they put on a great race! Thanks for the great video.
SO
DAMN
GOOD.
Welcome back!!!!
Wow, that Buick is consistent. 14.16 at 100 mph all three rounds.
Buick was faster in the last race. Charger was quicker. Came down to cutting a better light for the Buick. Chalk one up for the better driver. Both are awesome Muscle Cars.

I’m thinking the Buick wins. Them GS are perty nasty. 🍻 nice to see you back.
If it's a Stage 1 and Charger is a 440 instead of a hemi then yeah
Stage One aren't call hemi killer for no reason
@@josephnewcomb5670 That is correct, "The Hemi Killer" those 455 Stage 1 Buicks were absolute monsters.
@badass6.0powerstroke10 I know bc I use to own one several years back :)
@@josephnewcomb5670 I never owned one, but went for a ride in a GSX Stage 1 4-speed, that was stock minus Headers and Aftermarket Exhaust, I'll never forget how hard it pinned me to the seat, i was never a GM person, but i always Loved the Buick GS and GSX,s such beautiful cars with that insane Buick Torque.
A race is a race. Has to be a winner. But at .03 seconds of difference, I call that pretty even.
Mr C & Z,
It is absolutely fantastic you are back again. You did the same thing about 2 years ago, & I thought you will be back in September.
It is just good to know you are okay.

Welcome back, glad you are off the youtube suspension.
I'm glad you came back after all this time, I hope you'll be successful
Got to like.. Owners willing to Drive these Cars as intended...
They all want to Be Driven...
Cheers from Southern California 🇺🇸
Mopar or Nothing..
Welcome back, so glad to see you again. Hope all is well, damn I miss the zebras
Those cars are some "heavy" haulers! Good to have you back.
Except for the red light, this is as it should be. Not that I'm biased, but I owned a 71 Buick GS 455 for many years.
As us Buick racers say "When Better Automobile are Built Buick will build them!!
Someone needs to teach the guy in the Dodge how to shift!
oooooooooh.....already chubbin out.....Charger vs Buick GS? oh hell yeah....this should be good
Great Dual! Just missing a Marty McFly “That’s heavy” clip when you do the weight specs 😂
Glad to see your return! Your Studie love is most remarkable
To run 14.16 3x in a row is crazy
Yeah, the Buick was DEAD consistent.
Car & driver would decimate in bracket racing.
Thanks for the great video. Glad you're back 👍
The last race was a keeper. You know they both were starring at eachother the entire run, neck in neck
So glad to have you back!! And a big W for the GS. Going fast with class. Thanks as always ~ Chuck
Glad to see that you are back !
Welcome back Cars and Zebras, you sound good....heh.
Two very evenly matched and equally awesome muscle cars!
Welcome back! Your wit has been missed.
Of course CarsAndZebras uses the Chunky Peanut butter...... He likes the crunch
Welcome back young man!!!
Dam I am glad you’re back!!!!!
Super glad your back.. looking forward to more of your work
Love them both
Happy to see you back!
Welcome back! Three cheers for classic muscle and 12 year old boy humor !
The king is back!
I have a soft spot for the Buick. Back in 84' I had a 70' gs 350, auto. That was a fun car, sure went through tires on it. Nice Charger too.
YO!!!!! Let's GOOOOO! I had a '71 GS 455, fun car. I have a lowly '70 Skylark now, and that thing was over $4000 new. I still have the original window sticker :)
"Let's go" is played out.
@@djbryanladd thanks. I will note it down that "Let's go" is now wack and not dope or sweet.
There is no replacement for more torque at lower rpm
Look man, I watch a lot of online videos, I mean a lot, plus I never comment on RUclips. With that said, I look forward to watching two main shows, Roadkill Garage & Cars & Zebras. Those are the ones I really look forward to. You need to make videos every week. I love the commentary in the videos.
Take care & hope to see more from you!
The 68 charger is my favourite muscle car. Im jumping off the roof if it looses 💀
Get to jumpin lol
Well, gotta keep my promise
Happy landings. 😅
hope you packed your parachute 🤣
*Loses, not looses.
The Buick driver has a bracket racer.
It seems like to me that the 68 charger should have mopped up on that Buick and it didn't. I know that the Buick 455 is no slouch but it's not even a stage one and the Buick is heavier with less I don't get it but then that's okay.
Buick in 70 had a rating of 510 Lb feet of torque.
Welcome back. God u tube pisses me off.
If I lived back in the day, I would’ve bought a 1970 Buick GS 455 stage one. That car is unbelievable.
Glad your back! Missed the old cars and shenanigans 😂
Glad the channel is up and running again, and what a lineup you have for us. Back with style 👍👍
Hey Zebra welcome back 🤜🤛
Gramps in the Charger needs to learn how to shift. Come on the A833 is one of if not THE BEST shifting 4 speed of that era 😂
What’s up playboy!!!!YES!!!!
As much as I loved the '68-'70 Dodge Charger dearly, I knew it wouldn't win. The Buick GS were known to be Hemi killers and the Mopar itself wasn't aerodynamic to begin with.
Actually the charger was faster every pass except when he missed a gear. Better driver and charger won
@@AndyPyzdrowski-bw5mw Both drivers were VERY consistent for driving sticks (disregarding the mis shift!)

Buick 14.16 all three rounds. With A/C.
Definitely a cool ride 😂
Finally you're back! YES!!🦓🤟
Super awesome
Totally shocked that the Buick weighs more than the Charger!
The driver weighed 400 pounds
