Hey Jeff I forgot about these Buick models because you don’t see many of them.This is a nice example too.Always love the colonnade styling of this era,was very popular and a money maker for GM.Decent car,decent price.I had a 73 Regal and the body style and instrument panel was similar to this car.Thanks Jeff!.😎

[@RamblinAround]

Glad you like it. It reminds me a lot of my '73 Chevelle. Thanks for taking a look!

My neighbor had a 77 Buick with the 3.8 v6, and he was getting great gas mileage with it. It wasn't a hot rod, but had plenty of power for normal use. I see what appears to be a 56 or 57 Oldsmobile sitting there. That is one of my favorite mid 50's cars of all time. Thanks for the look Jeff !

[@RamblinAround]

I'll try to remember to check out that Olds since a couple of you have asked.

[@tomp3981]

The front end kinda looks like a delta 88. Solid car for the year. Put a good exhaust on it and run it . Small motor for such a big land yacht.👌✌

[@RamblinAround]

If I bought it, I'd have to swap a V8 in it.

Special was the one name that made a surprising comeback. The last time they used this name was 1969!

Hi Jeff, I remember these cars , very nice thanks for sharing this great one .

[@RamblinAround]

Glad you like it Michael, thank you for watching my friend!

@@RamblinAround I appreciate your channel.

[@TheSteve1175]

I remember 🥰 Would jurk that v6 out drop a stroked 350 in it and freak out the first time you had to hit the brakes hard. Those were the days. ✨️👍🏁

[@RamblinAround]

I'm with you, I'd have to swap a V8 in it.

Never seen this model before, cool car 3,8 v6 gives Nice performance, and the price so cheap, so Can give this car a real going over and it would be perfect, like the colour 😎 cool car thanks jeff and Jordan for this video i enjoy every moment ✌️ ✌️ your friend tom now and always 🤩 🤩, PS how is the gto project going and your studebaker and Erikas firebird, New big Block v8 in it say hello to All

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for checking it out Tom. We had some issues with the transmission on the GTO, but I think we have it fixed now. We'll probably post another video of it soon. No change with my Studebaker really. I got it out the other day and cleaned it up. Jordan and I took it for a short spin around town, but I really need to replace the transmission in it. Jordan and Erika have been working on her Firebird. They put a new intake manifold and carburetor on it. Now, we just need to drop in a new distributor and it'll be up and running again. We'll have videos on everything coming up. Lately, we've been putting a lot of time into getting a house ready to sell. Things will eventually get back to normal.

[@tombankwel4822]

@@RamblinAround thanks jeff for your feedback, and getting the house ready for sale, houses where we Are expencive, our house is 120 square meters, 4 rooms, could sell it for about 400,000 💵 dollars thanks jeff and Jordan 😊 😊 from tom your friend always 🤩

[@RamblinAround]

@@tombankwel4822 Yes, that is quite expensive per square meter. You can get a much larger home here for that amount.

[@danheaton2522]

Looks similar to a 78 Buick LeSabre I started driving when I first got my license. Very comfortable and quiet cars.

[@rodneyclark1990]

Wish my slantnose was this clean I'm working on a 350 buick 400th combo swap

[@stevebastiom255]

Thanks for the video, always enjoyable. I have a 77 Cutlass that I have owned since 79 or 80. Kind of a hotrod now with built motor, trans, and rear. Some lines in the body have a similarity. I see what I think is a 57 Olds off to the side on this video, have you done a video on that? Again thanks, love your stuff!

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for watching Steve, I appreciate it. I don't think I've shot a video of that Olds yet, but I'll keep it in mind.

[@victorzeigler9786]

Had a 77 red limited t-tops bucks

[@RamblinAround]

That sounds like it would be pretty cool. I've always liked the T-top cars.

[@PhonoMuse]

Do you take video requests? I've been watching your channel for a while now, and I love the vids you make from this place and showing all the cars. I seen in their inventory that they have a 1956 Lincoln Premiere coupe in island coral color that I'd like to see, and also a 1958 Lincoln Premiere sedan in sunset beige color too.

[@RamblinAround]

I can't make any promises, but I will try to keep that Lincoln in mind.

[@PhonoMuse]

@@RamblinAround Thank you.

[@daviddevries2078]

Ours had 350 Gmail,9 miles to the gallon,

[@scottbradley5760]

I like the walk through a.

[@darkside0914]

at 1st i thought it was a dodge magnum or later model cordoba, it would be a great sleeper if someone wanted to put the money and work into building it right

[@RamblinAround]

It does have a similar look for sure.

[@Da_SRB_Detroit]

Yeah, of course you would think that... Do you even know your cars? The mid-'70s (Chrysler) Magnum/Cordoba/Charger platform was _NOT_ related to GM. BUT it was inspired by, and COPYING, and MODELING after the A-body (GM) platform (the 1973-'77 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Pontiac Grand Prix, Oldsmobile Cutlass, and the beautiful Buick Regal), not to mention their variations (the Pontiac LeMans/Grand Am, Chevy Chevelle/Malibu, Olds Hurst, Buick Century/Special). CLEARLY the GM A-body platform was (by FAR) an influence and inspiration to outside automakers...

[@scrappyjunk8793]

they used that v6 engine in the jeepsters manual transmission better no torque at low rpm good find here
