When you walked in and showed the Grand National next to that black Riv I started drooling.

Glad to see you made it safely! Can’t wait for the next video!

That salt and cold weather would be a deal breaker for me and the taxes and expenses of NY . WE get too much winter wether here in NC

Once upon a time I was a young boy about to turn 16 and buy my first car. I'd been driving since I was 12. I had my sights set on Camaros and Firebirds and a pocket full of cash. I even considered taking out a loan for one of the new IROC Z's. My Grandfather was never brand loyal and gave me some good advice. "Buy the most car you can get for the money. If you like Camaro, shop for Buicks and Oldsmobiles." By golly he was right. I bought a second hand Buick with a 455 and power everything. The kids on my block were spending entire paychecks for "speed parts" to keep up with it. One day, at the town stoplight, a fellow pulled away from me like I was standing still. I remember asking myself "What does GSX mean?"

What a trip! I can only imagine how you were able to edit that much drive time into a little over an hour. Awesome stuff! And thanks for stopping by in your journey. You’re turning me into a Buick fan 🤫

Love your channel! Please always show us what you do to get your carbureted engines started - love seeing what you do with the gas pedal and whatnot. Subscribed!

An epic road trip. I could feel the love for those old Buick's shining from the screen. Great people, great cars and a superb video.

I love Buick. Glad to see them getting some love

What a great video. I have enjoyed watching your video's since I came across them after watching the AAR Buick Regal. I love watching those old cars being used as a daily driver (especially the blue GS at the old Buick parts place) I find it sad that a lot of these 40, 50 or 60 year old classics only drive as far as the garage to a trailer and back again. These were driven on the road as daily drivers for decades (I remember seeing early to mid 1970's cars being driven around in the late 1990's). I am a big fan of Buicks. They gave a great ride without the showiness of a caddy. However my favorite engines are the FWD 3.8v6/3800 V6 and the 3300 V6 That said I am living through you, Randy(AAR) Junkyard Digs, Vice Grip garage and Santa's Workshop when it comes to owning a older car with a carb. I did the carb car thing for years and think the greatest thing to happen to cars in the last 40 years was fuel injection. My 3 A body (RWD)/G Body Malibu/ Cutlass Supremes and the 1983 Chevette were the last carb cars I will ever own. it is FI cars for me now on. There is something about getting into a car, turning a key and not having to pump the gas pedal, hope it starts and then wait until it warms fully up. That 1987 Cutlass had a crazy stupid amount of vacuum lines. I also found it much easier to diagnose computer and fuel injection issues then chasing issues with 1980's carb cars. Keep up the good job with the vids

I love Buicks also. My first car in 1980 when I was 16 was a 1970 Skylark Coupe. It was red with black top and interior. Glad I found this channel.

Awesome journey! Glad the trip was a success!

Thanks for stopping by. Was a lot of fun meeting you and the car. Looking forward to seeing it soon!

Just another Buick lover!

Great content dude and love the Skylark, it has a lot of potential imo. Greetings from The Netherlands and keep up the good work 👊🏻😎

So cool you got to do this road trip and meet all those people in person. I waved as you went through Albany (just kidding). I enjoy your channel for all of the different vehicles you work on and the fact that you're close to me. It's like watching your neighbor or friend working on a car. 👍

Hey that trip was cool.I’m headed to my garage to break out my ‘70.gave me some fresh ambition.

Quite the adventure. Glad you made it safely home.

Nice that it made it and you were innovative enough to get it home! Those are some sweet cars in that showroom.

There not struts they be shocks,sorry

Rusty pulleys shred v belts fast take some sandpaper and sand it off while the belts are off the balancer and do the water pump by spinning it as you hold the sandpaper in the v groove

That was awesome video and good job of explain about the car

That was a very enjoyable video... For a Yankees fan! LOL! Glad you made it home safe and I'm looking forward to see this come to fruition.

That 1965 Buick Rivera is my favorite of the Buick. The 1970 GSX is another one

Enjoyed your video! Looking forward to your disassembly of your dash in that Skylark. My 72 Skylark ragtop needs a rewire.

I am really glad you all made it.

Great car and video, love abandoned cars😎🔥

Just dawned on me when you mentioned Oklahoma roads that you are driving home from Texas, wow that is quite a hike for you.

Great video, too bad we couldn't see you and Dylan hang out!

New to the channel - good video brotha! 💪🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼

Hey brother glad to see you it's been a while. We was will it run on a Pontiac and you sadly found out the frame was not so good. Wish you peace brother take car E

That car is going to be a screamer but a sleeper. It’s going to take a lot of people by surprise. I should’ve kept my Cougar like that but I wanted a weekend coffee and cars driver.

Well a better car to start building from and because it's nothing unique or special you can build it anyway you want. Pretty sure you have a 455 you could build up eventually for it. You have quite a varied fleet of cars and trucks to play with now and you have a ton of spare parts from the other car👍

Awesome video dude!! EPIC trip.

That's a long trip by ur self. I went to FL on a Friday morning and back home Sunday it was 15hrs one way that was enough for me Lol

In 76 I tried to get my boss to sell me a 70w31 Buick with a 350, 400turbo n twelve bolt. Money was the only issue 😁 Triple black and certainly marked the bar high for Any other car. Congrats on your Buick and your blessed journey 🙏👍

That was a awesome road trip I’m a Buick man also I have a few rivieras and electra

Great video 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻. That car is awesome brother

Now that's a roadtrip! I like that Buick and that burn out was awesome and what are the other yt channels you said that father and son and the other ones 😂 also I lost my phone sadly and I had to cough out $160 for a new phone😩

I really hate it when factory interiors are stripped out of old cars.

You must be the lost son of Derek! This is crazy stuff, love it.

i had a 1968 skylark back in the 1980's it was red with a white painted roof, i put a 455 in it back then and it immediately blew out the rear end and i put 12 bolt in it out of a chevelle with 3.31 gears and a posi, i bought most my parts back then from poston enterprise

I really love the1977 regal.

Hello Lunar Outlaw. The car looks great. How does it sound. Does it drive well. She looks good underneath.

runner had 72 brand new skylark in that year family car was 4,200 ordered in chicago took it straight 2 days to miami fast car lasted till 1989 rusted thru floor board frm chicago salt winters ever see a charger mustang camaro 2022 do a burnout like that nope the chassis would fall off today with these wimp wagons i had a 75 monte carlo it lasted till 1998 drove it cross country with a huge uhaul trailer hitch 5 times the car was a mule huge muscle never ever see that power in cars anymore

If that car doesn't Ike Texas cold,then how will it like New York cold,. Those new gas cans, I break all the gizmos out and it works great. I live in the same area as Vice grip and Dylan McCool,and its very green here in middle Tennessee.

I can't believe I hadn't subscribed yet! I am now!

Always carry extra fan belts I do

Praise the Lord for watching over you

I've been to tuscumbia Alabama Alabama before years ago

Lots of haters here... Thanks for the video man. Good stuff! Actually contemplating buying a 72 Skylark in the same condition

Where do you live I'm in Amsterdam NY is see a 71 Buick Skylark for somebody's yard for years just sitting there looks to be in decent shape in Galway New York

The trunk lid is worth the effort

The non-courteous drivers in New Jersey mainly consist of New Yorkers who've moved down here.

You saw John up there in Tennessee did you go see Uncle Tony?

I'd take that Buick over Randy's Dart, any and every day.

Where is the Buick Shop, do you have a Web adress?

call it texas star

STRUTS

Guessing that isn't the original engine going off the tappet covers.

Did you come up I95?

The lighting was kinda bad.... I couldn't see a thing

Where do we find donnie b's?

Shocks not struts

I enjoy your videos, my channel - Daniel McKenzie

lol in your world that is nearly brand new.

THERE SHOCKS NOT SRUTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HATE burnouts.

What an amateur, haaaa! You ran out of gas????? Haaaa,!!!! hey brother , you gotta turn that idle down, it's actually killing your milage, can't remember, 1100 rpm or mebbe 900, but that is like 15 to 1900 by my ear, ..... Not good...

The Lord our God is always great, Amen
