Love how Karen at the church was rude so you took the muscle car to the graveyard as rebellion 😊😂

[@thesillyseal284]

Bro I have been daily driving my 72 buick gsx bc my 2001 buick lesabre fucking, you're video resonates my soul

[@UsefulEntertainment]

hehehehe, im glad to hear that. funny thing is, i used to daily an 01 Regal GS. now that car was fun!.

[@carpetmogul007]

Jesus didn’t preach the gospel to those perfect. HE accepted those who were lost. For that woman to kick you out, shows how her knowledge of what Jesus had in mind. HE knew your intentions and HE knows your heart. I would have said thank you but no thank you and continued to film no matter what. Gif would have intervened and that would have ended it. You weren’t there by choice, but by intervention. God put you there. So why not defend HIS name?! Stand your ground in the LORD! HE will provide!

[@UsefulEntertainment]

ya know, i really felt the same. that church feels like a business hidden behind the name of the lord. as nervous as that chick sounded, the cops wouldve been there in 3 minutes. if it were public property, id push back. i was losing day light fast and just wanted to get done.

[@TobyBaker-hz3rw]

Old refrigerators weren't a joke.🙂

[@TobyBaker-hz3rw]

Had a 72 and loved it. Most cars of the time were designed to the aerospace look.

[@UsefulEntertainment]

as i always say, EVERYBODY has a story about a 72, its weird. its that year only hah.

[@topcurve4963]

Still watching...but had to pause it at 3:24 on the big screen and admire the dashboard.... I had four Buicks... 75 Skylark... 74 LeSabre... 76 LeSabre 73 Electra... Not to mention... My big bro had a 67 Electra... 72 Electra.... 85 Skyhawk.... You remind me of the good ole days when me and my friends were driving around in these cars.... I love the fact that you.. Your dad... And your friends... Are all into these amazing cars .. And they are daily drivers....not perfect... But meant to be driven!!!!

[@UsefulEntertainment]

damn, talk about a house of buicks lol. that is pretty cool, id take a 67 electra and the 85 skyhawk. yup, im happy to demonstrate that you can have fun with a shltbox edition and actually drive them. not everything has to be a show car.

[@rebelwithacause3574]

Cool classic car. The stance is great, and never loose the cigarette fooling around with bright lights. Talk about dangerous.

[@UsefulEntertainment]

That's a sick username!!!

[@gregarioussolitudinist5695]

Well done! I had a 68 and it had the Buick version of the powerglide 2 speed automatic. Like you said, 350 two barrel was no slouch, was quick to the next stoplight. I liked and subscribed. thanks! edit, sounds like it might have a high stall speed converter in it

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Nice, I had a 2 speed jet away in my 68 Cutlass for a while ( super turbine 300) is what was in the olds and Buicks. I put a 4 speed Muncie in that car. Idk, I think it's a stock stall converter but I could be wrong.

[@billgorman481]

I was just getting ready to say what a pretty church...we were having trouble locating a spot for a cellular tower years ago so we put one near the cemetary and no one came to protest at the planning and zoning.

[@rickloera9468]

Finally a person who realizes that not every old car is a muscle car or hot rod. I have a 1972 Ford Gran Torino 2 door hardtop. Every person who sees the car says that they love my muscle car. It was a family car in 1972. That is how peope saw them in 1972 and that is what they are today.

[@UsefulEntertainment]

It's just the way it is today. Not many people are around today that remember when they were new so I guess they are using today's car logic on them, well it's got 2 doors and it looks sporty, must have been a muscle car. Just because it can be, doesn't mean it is.

[@Cstoreri]

Good ole fashioned fun!

[@harrysatin5110]

Side skirts are dope that’s what mini tubs are for,

[@topcturvee1]

kids nowadays have nothing to compare it too.... you are right.....just an everyday car that would have been considered a small to mid size at best... it were the electra 225s that were the "Boats" good video...really enjoying it!!!!!!!

[@UsefulEntertainment]

glad you enjoyed the show and yes, most people my age and younger have no idea, the cars have been priced out of their reach.

[@billgorman481]

That 7 second hold...bahahahahahah!

[@chuckbroso]

Balls! Well done! I used to love the rear gas filler behind the plate on my Caprices. And yes, afterburners!!!

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Glad I'm not the only one that sees that 👍

[@jacobkoolick3208]

Absolutely loved the video, and yes I agree with gas stations either side makes it so much easier

[@sheltonsaved2001]

My buddy in h.s. had 69 skylark. We called the batmobile. We left school about 6th car out of 10.within a mile We were leaving everyone behind😂😂

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Lol I call it the batmobile sometimes too 🤣🤣🤣 That's awesome 🤘🤘🤘

[@rbrobbi]

Had one as a winter beater, sent to Buick heaven because of the trans crossmember fail. They are rock solid chassis body wise. Oh, btw don’t forget to tell us not to mess with your EQ settings. Have a 72 Cutlass now.

[@UsefulEntertainment]

how long was that? buicks use a rubber isolator in the crossmember that rots them out but they are pretty easy to replace. hehe you seen that old eq huh, cool man, cutlass is more my main thing anyway.

[@ericd3434]

​@UsefulEntertainment buick had the 1 year only buick 340 in 1967 and its a really nice little motor I have one in my 67 lesabre 4 door ht has a nice cam and intake with bual holley 450s it's a pretty nice sleeper even as big as it is..BTW that's far from a fighter jet in the video..lol

[@srobinr]

68/69 best skylarks

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Agreed

[@rbrobbi]

And btw you u can fit 245/45ZR-17s easily, it’s fairly standard for a-body restos albeit with a stagger

[@UsefulEntertainment]

i shouldve specified better, i was thinking deep dish cragars, keystones, centerlines etc

[@willyhwang1059]

You should join that church and hang out at the parking lot 24/7 just making videos, and making tons of noise, Heavenly Father would be proud lol

[@UsefulEntertainment]

That's actually brilliant 🤘🤘

[@cfmechanic]

Reminds me of the medusa car from the movie bellflower

[@UsefulEntertainment]

never heard or seen that car before, had to look it up. i mean that is a black 70-72 skylark.

[@kimdearrington258]

If you think finding parts for that thing, you should try to find parts for a 1965, 66, or 67 because as much as they look alike the are a good bit different hood and trunk panels, but 68 and 69 models are two of the very similar, but different than the 1967, or 1970 models.

[@BuickPerformanceSupportCha1605]

nice car bro !!!

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Thanks man

[@topcurve4963]

I'm at 8:52... And am having the same problem Marty.... People are becoming very annoying to me!!!!!! Crawling up my ass ...where ever I go ... I think I'll be alone... and not even two minutes.... and get some asshole coming around the corner.... And me having to move out of the way at midnight at the truck yard where I go to get my semi.... Putting my stuff in the truck.... And getting ready to pull out.... and yep ... you guessed it.... Here comes some idiot through the yard with THERE semi truck.... leaving to go do their thing!!!!!! Some how...i felt like it was coming for you..... So peaceful.. doing your video...and here comes Karen!!!!!! SMH

[@willyhwang1059]

cemetery is way cooler than church anyday

[@UsefulEntertainment]

100% they are, just figured the church would offer some peace and quiet.

[@kimdearrington258]

That car, and every Skylark since 1965 could be had as a muscle car up until 1973 where the Buick Regal or Buick Special, could also be a performance car up until 1974. With that being said no, that particular Skylark is not a muscle car, but they could be had with a high performance 400 cubic inch big block, up from 1967 until 1969, then in 1970 where you could get them in a 350,or a 455, and even a 455 Stage 1 or even a Stage 2 package, which in 1970 the Gran Sport Stage 1 was the quickest production car buolt and raced in the quarter mile according to a hot rod magazine back in 1970. It was also known as the Hemi Killer!

[@willyhwang1059]

ONE BROK OVA! LOL

[@MarkLOL416]

Love the skylark man got a quick question I have a 67 Camaro with stock dual exhaust 350 sbc stock I want it to be heard coming down the road I’m ordering a full flowmaster exhaust u think people will hear me coming down the road?

[@UsefulEntertainment]

thanks. yes, flowmasters are loud for sure. they are kind of tinny sounding but you will be heard for sure.

[@MarkLOL416]

@@UsefulEntertainment thanks man

[@keanecoquete4977]

I think the only car you haven't covered yet is the estate wagon?

[@UsefulEntertainment]

i havent done the cutlass or the wagon, i really didnt plan on doing the wagon as i dont spend much time with it and the drivers side is smashed currently from a dear smashing into it back in march. i need to get a fender and paint the car.

[@cfmechanic]

I say 4 barrel u should get 20mpg

[@chevelle-pi1bn]

👍👍👍👍👍 🤜🤛

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Ayee John!!!

[@cfmechanic]

Having a rear fill car seems like a major hack these days. I love skipping all that nonsence

[@jacobkoolick3208]

Yesssssss❤

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Hehehehe, i knew you wanted this video.

[@jacobkoolick3208]

@@UsefulEntertainment only opened yt every 4-6 hours checking since the last video❤️, video was absolutely perfect and relatable like the door lock and the windows, one thing I didn’t understand is why you can’t fit a bigger back tire cuz mine are definitely wider on the back than the front.

[@UsefulEntertainment]

@@jacobkoolick3208 lol don't be hitting me with that #1 fan shlt 🤣🤣🤣 I meant to say wider rim like a deep dish, not tire. Also the 70-72s have more clearance than the 68-69s

[@jacobkoolick3208]

@@UsefulEntertainment are the quarters I removable on the 70-72 aswell?

[@jacobkoolick3208]

Unremovable*

[@harrysatin5110]

That was rude.

[@UsefulEntertainment]

to say the least.

[@JohnGruber-di3cw]

Every American made Automobile is getting kicked to the curb by Toyotas,Hondas,Nissans,Hyundais, and Kias. Don't know how to make great cars here anymore. It really sucks.

[@UsefulEntertainment]

yeah, your not wrong... that goes for most products in this country these days.

[@goratgo1970]

Right, our 2018 Buick wagon is actually an Opel made in Germany.

[@TobyBaker-hz3rw]

Still on private property.😂

[@UsefulEntertainment]

the cemetery is public sir.

[@willyhwang1059]

sorry you had to have your Karen moment. thank you for your sacrifice

[@UsefulEntertainment]

🤣🤣🤣 don't worry, I'm a pro at it.

[@jeremylinton6129]

please do not cut any holes to mount speakers ,,seriously please dont do it,,

[@UsefulEntertainment]

knowing how lazy i am, ill plan on it and never get to it.
