I have a brand new tank for a '73 Riviera I can't use anymore. Looks like the one you pulled. If the cross reference numbers are the same, you can have it. My Riv turned out to be waaaaaay more rusted than I thought and would be way too difficult and/or expensive for me to fix... I'm relatively local to you.

We can only post other youtube links in the comments. Something about protecting the kids or something. So if anyone does have any links for the fuel tank they would be better off trying to email.

It could be a safety measure. When her car starts barking at her and starts chewing on the dirt, the dogs can actually catch their predator in front of the yard. But if she's not allergic, she can then have a happy dog-petting time for a few minutes on a back street. Once the owners show up and bring the dogs back home, she'll try messing with her car again, and it'll work for some odd reason. And when she comes to the intersection 2 miles ahead, she'll find that she had just missed being in a wreck. So please, fellows, do the safe thing: put dirty old gasoline in your wife's car, to show her you care. :) (I'm kidding, though I can actually picture this happening.)

That’s a gem of an engine in that sucker, and mated to a solid trans.. In 68, I believe the new 350 was the only engine option - in the standard and high performance flavors. I have a 1967 Skylark I have been tinkering on for a number of years now - it’s got a standard 300 and the ST-300 with Switch Pitch, which never worked as long as I had it. Very recently, I overhauled the trans, found a couple NOS solenoids, rebuilt the throttle switches and made the Switch Pitch function as intended. Crazy gimmick, but really enjoyable experiencing its actual effectiveness first hand. These old cars are really something.

Bought it with my summer money for $200 in about 1999 where it sat in a salvage for years. Got the engine free, put a carb on it and it ran. Held onto it for a while. Sold it in about 2013 for $1,000 with no engine or trans to a guy from out of state. Well, it somehow made it's way back to my tiny town and now sits just a few blocks from me in a random field of cars that the guy just holds onto as with everything in his yard. He won't sell anything. Hate seeing it just sit and rot. Beautifal body lines on these cars. Great job on it man. Love the channel.

Thank you for dropping this while you're off doing other stuff. Much appreciated

Seeing that sticker from Bear Country USA reminded me of the time my dad took us to Ghost Town in the Sky in Maggie Valley, NC. He had just bought a 1964 Buick LaSabre and was so proud of it. After a day of fun, we returned to the parking lot and someone whose job it was, I'm sure, had stuck a sticker on his bright, shiny rear bumper. Moses' sandals was he ever so PO'd.

A guy just has a hard time concentrating with a saw just swinging around for no particular reason.

[@ahnilatedahnilated7703]

It made me think of one of those mass murder video's with the saw swinging in the background and laughed. There were a bunch of little things in this video that made me laugh.

[@SaltyNationalist]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was thinking that exact same thing myself.. Why on earth was that thing swingin anywho¿¿ Lol..

[@ronhall9040]

gotta love the lil easter eggs he throws into his videos...hahahaha

[@TriStarFamily]

Sometimes a feller just feels better when another feller spots a swinging circular saw. How'd she get there? The world will never know...

“Dumas Walker” Kentucky Headhunters. We’ll get a slaw burger, Fries and a bottle of ski. You’re welcome.

One of the most underrated songs ever.

I agree

I’ve actually eaten at Dumas Walker in Green Co. True dive if ever there was one!

HI Derek. Hardly ever comment, but I just had to say I love the LeSabre videos. When I was a kid, we had a 68 Electra 225, admittedly a bloated, overgrown version of the LeSabre, but essentially the same car. Watching you work on this one does bring back some fond memories. I know you are not doing a restoration, but I'd love to see you continue the work on this beauty. Maybe a little rust repair on the sides, and a budget minded paint job that us average working guys could afford. Keep up the good work and many thanks for the entertainment. You have some great tips and do it in a funny way. Oh BTW, VGG has been mentioned on several other automotive channels, always positive.

[@neilmays6744]

I really enjoy your shows and you have a Lotta knowledge that I can remember my dad showing me years ago he had a terrible accident in 2019 he still with us but he is handicapped wheelchair-bound it just makes me happy to see someone putting the love into these cars just for the love of it because we all know you can’t make money off of it keep it up my friend and I pray one day I’ll get to meet you and your son your whole family My son Garrett would like to meet you also try to keep it between the lines and if you’re ever in Kentucky and need any help what so ever I’ll do my best

[@chefpinot45]

I want to say, that was a great piece of driving at the freedom 500. I didn't see what happened to put you in the back, but you were leading the field against some seriously famous race car drivers.

How in the heck does a piece of paper survive decades of being exposed to the elements? Amazing.

[@TexasBaker]

Only because it was pinned between the tank and the frame. It barely survived at that.

[@660r2003]

very cool to see the build sheet , thanks for going through it

[@JB-do5qd]

Derek! Now that was a fantastic intro to this episode, flowed right off the tongue as if you were hosting a professional big city TV program! By the way, whoever does the music design for all the time lapse portions of your videos is genius.

[@RSimons30]

The return of the LeSabre! The original video was the first video I ever watched of this channel and I've been hooked since. Can't wait to see what's in store for the ol' girl

[@trussell70385]

Moses Sandals I'm loving all these vijeos! Keep 'em coming bud!

[@marvincarter870]

You know a guy sure does an interesting job of doing educational enlightenment to his viewers and showing some good ideas about what to do and what not to do. Good video Derek 👍

[@anthonygrau2506]

That car is absolutely gorgeous

[@islandlife9127]

There is one thing I would like to see with the Buick and that is your son doing a smoke show again. It just puts a smile on a guys face to see the younger generation having some fun.

[@RoanokeGaming]

Ah come on now, what's a little rust and dirt in a carburetor 😎

[@josephcitizen4195]

carburetor?

[@nikolasramberg548]

@@josephcitizen4195 yes?

[@blair79bear38]

In a Quadrajet. , makes little difference. unless you get that shit clogging the idle jets then ya got problems. seen a couple of Q-Jets that had its idle circuits plugged. stuff I've pulled out of the Pick n' pull yards. my stuff never got that way.

[@timblaes7028]

It's not a carburetor, it's a fuel make it happen'r.

If a guy had millions, I’d gift a guy millions just so you could do all the revivals you wanted with your family. You’re the embodiment of the American soul and I love to see it. A guy JUST can’t get ENOUGH of the ole wobble pop garage humor. I’m about 109.36% sure of that.

I can't wait for a "non-fictional storytime" series.

[@brianellissr7800]

Oh boy oh boy I'm so excited about your Buick..!! Takes me back to 4th car. I had a 73 Buick Centurion 4dr 455, but not the Rocket.! It was my favorite car I've ever had!!.. Had a chance back then to buy 73 LeSabrae 2dr. Almost was a twin to Centurion. Color was exact!! I wish i would've had the $$ at the time.A lot of $$ compared to the $500 that i payed for the Centurion.! iIt had been restored and wanted $15,000 talked them down to $9,750 but couldn't get the loan. Ugh it broke my heart. Since then I've had 3 other newer Buicks. My favorite cars ever.!!. Thanks for sharing this content and all the other awesome content..!!

[@andrewfletcher5584]

Thanks for giving those quadrajets some love. Had one of those on my 79 monte carlo 305, ran like a vintage sowing machine.
