'66 Buick Back From The Dead! - HOT ROD Unlimited Episode 5

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    1987 isn't OLD. Find a 1971 Custom Cruiser, the one you could load 4x8 sheets of plywood into and still close the neat clamshell tailgate, (the one where the glass went up into the top and the gate rolled down under the body). I had 3 of those we used for A/C service and in our remodeling business. 455 V-8, fully loaded, 9 passenger, 5,100 #, 15 mpg on the highway. The '87s were new stuff, lower power and weight with a GM motor. Last true Oldsmobile V-8 rolled out of Lansing in 1974.
