[@MattsRageFitGarage]

I don't get it either. Most of the full size cars with sedan rooflines look better proportioned in the 4 door variety. Ever notice how most of the people who hate on 4 doors are just about as big as the car? something I've observed over the years.

[@thekingmtmt3873]

I don't get it either. I have a 4 door 1963 Impala and get just as many looks and thumbs up as a 2 door I love it and the bench seat are way better imo

I was just a kid and my brother had a 66 wildcat. He always said that the motor was a 410. I turned out to be a Ford/ Mopar man but, whatever the motor was, even with a blown head gasket, the wildcat would ride. Brought back some memories. Lost my brother 4 months ago. Things just ain't the same. Thanks guys.

It had a 430 cu.i. motor with 400 hp (as I recall) My dad bought a new 69 Impala wagon on the same day with a 327 , and a powerglide tranny.. As it turned out , I bought the drive train out of both wagons 10 yrs later ... I rebuilt both motors ... I put the 327 in my 72 Nova and I put the 430 buick motor in my 74 Camaro .

Stuff flying in your eyes, steering going all over the place.. that's fine. I didn't know they made a four door Wildcat. I had a two door 69 and loved it. Mine had the same 430 engine and the power and especially torque would surprise you. I used it for taking the wife out and road trips, but for racing fun i used my 70 Buick GS. That was probably faster than any car i ever had except my two Dodge Vipers. I am an old man and have owned over a hundred musclecars. Great video guys! Thanks!

[@jeffreyrigged]

they actually made a 4 door in every year wildcat and the centurions as well. The only year they made a gs wildcat was in 65 though and it was only a 2 door with the gs package. Alot of the wildcats have different front end and is slightly longer than its lesabre counter part. that stopped in 69.

[@todddenio3200]

They offered the 4 door Wildcat because there were plenty of people who had families who still wanted a car with good performance and a sportier look while still providing more luxury than what a regular 4 door LeSabre gave.

One of thee best moonshiner running cars was the 1940 Ford Coupe. Big trunk, more room in the back seat area, and alot of engine power. Ask just about any old-time moonshine runner--they'll remember the 40 Ford Coupe. There were many great runners doing the deed and doing it well, but those old Fords would surely get you and your inventory to where it needed it to be.

Her's my kinda funny-in-retrospect Wildcat story. Several years ago, a friend and his brother still-wet-behind-the-ears amateur mechanics. We've all been in that gearhead chapter, learning, making mistakes, works in progress. That's how we all started, picking up that first wrench for the first time kinda thing. Anyway, the 2 brothers really didn't know how important TIMING on any engine was, so here's what happened: They got this Wildcat to turn over somehow. There they were, my friend cranking the key, while his brother had HIS FACE above the Quadrajet (may as well been sucking on the end of a loaded shotgun). With that timing way off in some way or another, retarded or advanced, the car lit off for a rev or two, puking a HUGE FIREBALL from the carb. My friend's brother had his face above that carb, remember? When that hug fireball erupted, he went from having an Afro to being Kojak. He came fine, of course, but went from from having HAIR to looking like a cue ball. Reminded me of Wile E. Coyote getting blown up in the cartoons.

[@steveneckard3649]

Thank you for some fun entertainment! My second car was a 1968 Buick GS 400. It too had a Buick 430 with a Quadra jet Carb. Fun , fast and sporty. It was a lot of fun for a short time when I had it. A piston broke up during a Race through the back roads from Magnolia Ark to a nearby little town and back.. Was sad to see the inside of the engine when I tore it down. But it was a fast and a fun great looking car. I really liked it and was sad to have to get rid of it. I look forward to seeing if you find a good car to put the engine and trans into. A late 60's GS400 would be super cool.

This old boat made me think of the first vehicle I ever drove on a road. My parents had a 1967 Buick Electra 225 with a 430 Wildcat in it. Me and my cousins always referred to it as the aircraft carrier. That baby would get up and scoot and floated down the highway like a caddy

Hi Dylan, these are the easiest most reliable and inexpensive cars to work on!! When I was 19 in 1979 I learned everything about these old GM boats.

[@cdglasser]

Just FYI, the 2-speed transmission in those cars was not a Powerglide - it was Buick's Super Turbine 300, a completely different design from the Powerglide. The coolest thing about it was its variable pitch stator torque converter, providing two different stall speeds.

[@CravingClassics]

[@cheaptricked]

I didn’t know the Wildcat was offered in a pillared version; thought they were all hardtops. My granny had a brand new ‘69 LeSabre with the 350; floored it everywhere…😜

[@PhilRacicot]

It was offered in a pillared version in 1964-69, not in 1962-63 or in 1970, usually with the cheaper interior trim (unless you bought it in Canada in 1964-66). My main reason not to want a 4 door sedan for me is because I want one with the Custom interior trim. Nicer interiors, front and rear armrests on Custom 4 doors hardtops and Canadian pillared sedans. I hate the plain bench seats with no center armrests. In 1970, the LeSabre Customer 455 replaced the base Wildcat series, kept the same model numbers and same features as the base 1969 Wildcats, and for the first time, the LeSabre could be ordered with chrome plated rims in 1970. BTW, the rims on this 1969 Wildcat aren’t original and not correct for that car. They are from 1971 or later.

[@cheaptricked]

@@PhilRacicot So those wheel are 5X5 pattern instead of 5X4 3/4?

[@PhilRacicot]

@@cheaptricked They are but there were many variations of the 5x5" bolt pattern chrome wheels. The style used in 1969 had a larger opening at the center for the cone-shaped caps that Buick used in 1966-70. The wheel design changed a few times. 1964, one year only and available on the Wildcat only. The webs were painted a light charcoal color, 1965, one year only model, available on the Riviera and on the Wildcat from now on, the painted part was now a bit darker and a register ring was added at the back of the wheel. 1966-67 wheels were like the 1965 wheels but with the 2 1/8" opening for the new center caps, in mid 1967, the center part of the wheel had to be modified to accommodate the optional 4 piston calipers and those wheels were painted black in the center instead of charcoal. The 1968-70 models used the 1967 disc brake wheels on all cars and they became offered on the LeSabre and Estate Wagons too. In 1971, the offset was changed and the hole for the center cap went back to 2" and center caps went back to the 1965 style but with new emblematic s. Chrome wheels were also offered on the Electra 225 starting in the early seventies (not in 1970, not sure about the first year). The register ring was also removed and because these cars no longer used 4 piston calipers, the black webs went back to a smoother shape similar to the early model (but the design, while similar was completely redone because of the new offset. Using the later wheels on a 1960s car make them reduce the car's track by 1" in addition to rire rubbing and possible interference with brake fins on some models. By the mid seventies, there were wheelcovers that copied the style of those wheels, you have to look carefully to tell the difference between them and the chrome wheels. Later in the seventies, a 15X7" version was offered and they remained offered on the RWD Electra and Estate Wagon up to 1987. The LeSabre, starting in 1977 would alternatively use the 5x5" wheels or the 5x4 3/4" wheels from the intermediates. If the car had a Pontiac 301, the wheels were the intermediate wheels. The Turbo V6 and Buick 350 equipped LeSabre had the larger wheels.

IDC if you injured that car, but for the future, you totally passed on some options before resorting to skinning that door from the outside. 1- you could have removed the door card (in pieces), rolled up the window and accessed the latch mechanism. 2 You could have destroyed the Driver’s side REAR door first, giving you good access to the Drivers door latching area and potentially saving the drivers door. 3- last option, cut a 3 sided flap/access panel spanning the latch/lock area of the sheet metal and directly manipulate the door mechanism-at least you could have welded it back down and “put it back together”.

I don't know which I enjoyed more, the Griswolds going to Wally World, or Dylan going to Jack Daniel's. I'm leaning towards Dylan because it was real, and it was fun. Was it really fun? There's the question. There was also an element of danger, not knowing if the front end would stay under the car. One of the front tires just fall off like a United Airlines jet. Neither of those happened, flat rear tire. I didn't expect that. No problem though, get yourself an inner tube and a shot of air. That tire will be good as new.

The 301 engine you're talking about in the 1965 LeSabre is a 300 and it's not a nailhead, much closer design to the 430 than it is to a Nailhead. 401 and the 1965-66 "400" engines in Skylark GS models engines are Nailheads and even those 400 engines are in fact 401 engines! Nailheads were available in various displacements, early ones were 322, 264, 364, then 401 and 425. Don't expect seeing cubic inch displacements shown on the air cleaners, they show the torque rating and some versions with the same displacement have different torque rating depending of the compression ratios and carburetors. Don't be fooled by the valve on the pre-1967 small block Buick engines, they were made to look like Nailhead valve covers but these engines have nothing in common. The final year for the 300 and 340 V8 is 1967 and they changed the valve covers on them so they would look closer to the new for 1967 400/430 engines. One way to tell is a Buick V8 is a Nailhead or a later design, the position of the distributor, can't go wrong with that, unless it's not a Buick engine under the hood, a distributor at the back means a Nailhead, at the front any other Buick V engine that has a distributor!

My first car was a 1969 Olds Delta 88. The styling of the late 60's cars were the best. Did the Buick have the speedometer cable that ran to the driver's front hub it was that only the Olds that did that, I can't remember.

Dylan, can we get an update on the Charger? I have enjoyed your build series on a particular car. I understand that it may not get the views that revivals do but I have learned so much from your Charger and Challenger series and would like to see another or revisit both of these cars for a continuation.
