Yup, I like his video's. His voice gets to me a bit, I don't know why as its gruff like it suppose to but I just don't know why
I got the Buick bug as all kids do because my dad drove into the driveway when I was 4 with a brand new 66 Wildcat.
Yup that why it's "GSS".. I have a 70 GS Stage1 thats down in the Cape at my sisters house. Its up on stands with the gas tank out and needs a trunk a left front fender but other wise decently solid. It's been there since 91 or 92 and I just don't have the energy to get it done due to some issue's.
The motor had spun a main which is an issue with the BB Buicks oiling but easily fixed with the proper mods. It was rebuilt and is all stock, I don't know who did the rebuild though and just couldn't find out who as these 455 Buick motor's really need someone experienced with them. You can't run the bearing loose like a Chevy, they have to be tight around .0015 to .002
It does run strong though. I took it to the New England Dragway after it sat for a year with just starting it up and managed a 13.9 with these little 185 X 14 tires. Traction was impossible..
I had a 66 GS I daily drove for 8 years starting in highschool. This one had the early Buick 401 Nailhead. Tons of low end torque but they didn't breath to well to make great horsepower. Like you mentioned they were big loaded with cubes and torque and barely needed to work to get the car moving. This one I lost to the frame rotting out
Alot had to do because they used the convertable frames that were boxed for stiffness..
Oh I can imagine how cool that towing company was!!!
