Thrilled to find this video. I had one of these that I bought used in upstate NY in 1969. Drove it to Travis AFB in California and drove it back to Syracuse, NY in 1973. Drove it for 4 yrs of college there. Best car I've ever owned. Great sentimental value to see one here. Mine had a white top, not black vinyl like this one. Didn't have the AC and the air cleaner was different. The odd thing about mine that I've never figured out is that it didn't have the broad red stripe at the bottom, had a red pinstripe up higher instead. I know all the literature shows that it should have had the broad red stripe. Other than that, the cars are identical and it was great to see and hear one again.

What a fun car this is! And you’re right; the sounds. The springs for the hood, the tinny sound of the deck lid closing, everything. Just reminds me of all the metal that once made up cars of yesteryear. Thanks Lou and the owners for a fun time!

It looks & sounds great, Lou! I liked the 'Car Story', too and also that this Buick is in great hands with these brothers.

I had a GS340, I got it in 1982. It did not have A/C or power brakes though. The 12 1/4 compression ratio , combined with the 2 speed street light to street light transmission didn't go well with a teenage driver. I poked holes in the top of the pistons on two occasions. But I loved it. It was a great car. Every kid should have this as their first car. Just don't go over 120 mph in it.

They also came with a 3 speed manual on the tree with the 340 engine. My folks bought there GS 340 new , had a platinum silver with the stripes and scoops and red rallies.

Great coffee and great videos! Thank you Lou! You bring peace through the chaos! This one looks rare!

The 300 and 340 were great engines. The 300 2bbl was from 1964-1967. The 300 4bbl was only for 1964-1965 and the 340 was only for 1966 or 1967. The 1966 340 was the Wildcat 375, as was the 401 2bbl low compression (the 401 4bbl high compression was the 410 Wildcat). The 300 2bbl was the 310 Wildcat and the 300 4bbl was the 355 Wildcat.

Red, White and Buick.

I knew Buick made by 350 cubic inch motor I didn't know that Buick made a 340 great video as always Lou

Lou, that roof you pointed out is the same exact stamping as a Chevelle, LeMans/GTO, and Buick Special/Skylark/GS 2dr. hdtp. (along w/most inner body stampings) Man, those hub caps ARE rare, though I think they're the same exact ones found on Chevelle SSs w/a Buick Tri-Sield substituted. Same w/the rims & caps ON the car. They seem to be Chevy Rally rims painted red, and the center caps are Chev. Rally caps w/a different logo. If you happen to see these gents again please tell'em Johnny Lightning made this *exact* car in 1:64 rith down to the coloring except roof is white. Love that they knew the production figures. The more history you can get out of these car owners the better. Nice work!

A fine example of buick beauty.

My dad had the exact same car in 1967 brand new. He had four of us boys but was not going to buy a four door! We have several pic of the car from back then

What he says is true, the GS 340 package originally came in silver with red stripes or white with red stripes. I thought I recalled seeing a picture somewhere of gold with red but that may have been a "regular" Gran Sport. A friend of my cousin who lived a few houses down on his dead-end block had one in the '80s; it was jacked up with big rubber out back, slapper bars, flared rear quarters and it was half in primer. Nevertheless the Buick was still a real cool car to my impressionable young eyes. Later, in the early '90s, the GS owner's brother had a '71 or '72 Satellite with a 440 swapped in and a skull and crossbones decal on the trunk. He and my cousin used to chase each other around their local neighborhood streets. My cousin was driving an '85 Mustang GT at that time and my older brother had a t-top '84. Fun days. : D

Another fine video, Lou and a great looking Buick for sure.

Beautiful piece of history from the muscle car era. Nice car.

I had a '67 GS 400: 4 speed, buckets w/center console & the Star Trek air cleaner. The 'star wars' nomenclature is a bit of a misnomer as that movie didn't come out until 1977, ten years later. Star Trek original TV series, however, was in its' prime. Either model is a purdy, purdy car. Would like to have another '400.

Another great car and story Lou, and such a great sound thanks for sharing and"Howdy" as always 😁 Greg

Unique looking car Lou. Car gets a lot of attention. Love the extra feature of riding inside that car. Looks like a lot of fun!

Hey Lou. Beautiful looking Buick Skylark GS 340. :)

This is one of those cars that when It is parked it looks like it is going fast., I just love everything about this car.

Beautiful car there I didn't know such a model existed back then. It's nice in white with the red stripes and red wheels too.

Beautiful Skylark ! Rare model ! 😎

Love it. Love Buicks.

Another nice one Lou .

Hi Lou, Another great video again, a very rare & unusual hardtop. Sounds awesome beautiful body & colour combo . Louis from Australia 👍

Great video Lou love watching your channel. You dont see many GS 340's out there. And I think all the ones I have seen were automatics like this one. I have seen the GS 400's with 4 speed manual transmission but not a GS 340. Beautiful car thanks for sharing.

You stumped me again Lou. Never seen one like it. Usually people ordered the 400 c.i. Great car and caretakers.

Nice Skylark i have a star wars air cleaner just got it with a 67 430 engine

Need to do a feature on my 65 Riv, Lou! Love these Sixties Buicks!

Aside from the imaginative parents, this is an unusual find. Nice to see an older Buick now and then.

Don't you dare put those hubcaps on that car with beautiful ralley wheels!

My favorite year right there. My cousin had a 4 door hdtp. Way nicer than a Chevelle. The buicks were styled so nicely.

Awesome Lou《☆》Sweet car with a throaty idle & rev :*: Usually 340s are of the Mopar variety :*: Have a good one my friend🤓☻🤠🚥🚦

I remember seeing one of these in my town back in the 80’s. Same color, owned by an older woman. I wonder what ever happened to it? Very rare and cool car!

Nice 340 GS.

Awesome 😀

All around beautiful car 👍.

that is a fine looking automobile.

Nice car. I don't think I've ever seen that specific model. Thanks

Great car Lou. That AC unit is a day two mod. Not factory. So much nicer than a Chevelle.

Fine American machine! That's a solid car , engine sounds great on start up, no whacking!! Put HEI distributor in this machine to get rid of the points!! N I would trust this machine 5000miles from home!!

Lou, can you offer your logo on shirts through, say, teespring or something with a link in the notes? It looks great. I sub to a few car channels but yours is the only one I'd wear. It's a nice looking logo and I believe in your message.

Yeah this car as a Special interior. The 400 had the Skylark interior (unless it was the post sedan) Yes, you could get the 4 speed.

Haha Lou that engine is a bit on the 'small' side compared to the cars you normally feature 😁😁

Not your grandfather's Buick . Or is it ? Maybe grandpa was a badass . Nice car !

had a 67 skylark and a 67 special delux sport coupe

very nice rare Buick 1 year engine option

Looks and sounds great wish GM would get back to basics

LOL - Too Freaking Funny! Buying a car to fit the hubcap! I LOVE IT! I like the car, but not fond of the color scheme. I'm giving her a Two Thumbs Up. One of the thumbs is for the hubcap reference - LoL. I will remember that one. =^D

✌👍

You the man, Lou. BUT!! Listen closely. It is obvious that speed runs that exceed the prima facie limit are all done south of the border in Mexico. Get it? Do your homework, my friend. I am OG. Stay cool.

so wrong not to offer buckets w/console.
