Will it Run?!? 1966 Buick Electra 225 Abandoned for 30 plus years! Land Yacht Revival! 401 Nailhead!

I discovered this 1966 Buick Electra 225 4 door sedan while cruising the BookFace Marketplace. It looked to be complete and had some worthwhile pieces like the 401 Nailhead V8 engine, 3 speed Switch Pitch automatic transmission and finned aluminum front brake drums. And it was close enough that I could afford to go look! So of course I drug it home! This car has been sold to a new owner. As always, thanks for watching!

I own a 1967 Buick Electra 225 with a 430. Other than having to pump the accelerator to get it to turn over, and an oil leak from the front main seal (I Think), i don’t have too many issues with it. Im not a mechanic. So im sure there’s a list of other mechanical things to address. Having a hard time with finding a restoration shop locally in Baltimore. So until I find one, it’s just a matter of time before something major goes wrong. In the meantime, I joyride once a week while being harassed by old people on the road begging me to sell it to them.

The shop in town has character, but the shop out in the country has a lift. That’s awesome. I’m happy to see life is becoming easier. As far as that Buick... if you have that lift, and there’s not a cross-member or something to make it difficult; it would be neat to see if you could pull the pan and roll in bearings. That car is pretty cool, and the cleanest revival car you’ve had on the channel.

[@SuperMAZ007]

I remember Scott from coldwarmotors had the same issue with his Buick nailhead. Hes engine rod knock was as bad as the 225 electras. For some reason these engines have bearing issues and I can't explain why. Also cured from the Zombie virus for many weeks and now I have tons of undone work to finish.

The reverb is a signal delay device to the rear speaker. The delay is probably adjustable and creates an echo effect. These were real popular in the 60's. Imperial had them as an option on the 64-66 model years.

[@newsferd1638]

Pulled an old Audiovox add on reverb out of a junker in the 70"s. Mono only. Inside was a speaker driver and a pickup connected by a big ass spring! Made everyone on AM radio sound like Elvis.

[@mrpurcountry]

Great job getting it running, didn't think much when I seen you remove the trailer hitch until you drain the pan with that much water I think somebody backed it into a lake launching their boat that's why it locked up hydraulically maybe broke a piston or rod maybe you should check the rear end and transmission for water.

[@pdrphil8159]

My uncle loved em. Electra 225. He owned several. In Detroit (back in the day) it was the #1 car to disappear off the driveway. I suppose they had curb appeal. My cuz used to come down to Tenn & buy all the deuce & a qwauta's & take em back to Michigan & sell em. He bought one from my uncle in the dead of winter. Got er back to Michigan where it broke down on the interstate. When he got back the nxt morning to haul it on home , it had been stripped... No doors, hood, deck, drive train , seats , & even the steering wheel... True story.

The tone reverberator on '60'era cars (GM was the only dealerships that I know who offered it) was most less like an amplifier that boosted the output with a bit of eco that mimicked the sound making it artificial stereo. It was a decent option for a AM radio at the time and might have done better for a AM-FM. I don't think stereo versions came out until sometime in the early to mid 70's. I could be wrong, but this is just my comment based on what I knew at the time. In 1975, I was 20 years old.

Boss is that your new shop . Looks big enough for you. My mom had a 69 Buick La Saber man that car had the power. Dad raced it a couple of times. It was pretty quick. Thanks for working an Buick. It brought back good times with our Buick

I am glad that Puddin said something about the Mortske flip. I had to see who is this Mortske fella. Well I am glad that Puddin sent me this way. Great work and I hope that you can save this Buick Electra, seems to nice to part it out.

[@MortskeRepair]

Glad you came over!

[@dougmcknight1024]

Puddin referencing the Mortske flick is how I crossed the streams as well!

Dang, 60's Buicks were the best. I loved my first driver, a 1968 2 door Buick LeSabre. What a party, dirt road drifting, railroad track jumping beast!! Learned my repair life on Buicks. Memories memories.

[@terryeustice5399]

That car in the day was equal to the Cadillac.And it was a beautiful car in its day. Hope you can work on this a little bit more. Great start. Always enjoy your work . Thank you for sharing Mortske!

[@joelkarch3538]

[@jamespn]

Dig the chrome post between the doors, love 60s Buicks, nice score, VGG must be green with envy. Book Face, now that there’s funny.

[@peterstombaugh4204]

Glad you are back new shop missed Duff

[@robertbrechbill5387]

Really digging 66' Buick Electra 225, I see so much potential even before hearing the engine bark off, also I love you shop dog Duff he's just amazing.

[@austx290]

The taillights are really cool on these. That's one of the things that drew me to the 66 Electra. I've had mine about 10 years now.

14:48 My dad used get his Dump truck (Ford Louisville 8000) tyres retreaded for the dive axles, he’d refer to them as casings before retreading and tyres after 🤙🏼🇦🇺

[@skeetlegeetles9449]

Hoping that you pull the motor and rehab it if you think the 45k is original. Might be worth it. The rest of it is in good shape. Non smoker is good. Duff will think better of it when he gets his first cruise in. Good project hope you keep it. Glad to see you back. Cheers from WA state.

Rebuild! Chitty chitty bang bang.

[@erikalbertson7483]

Dangit , that sucks ! It is such a cool car. Might be worth looking into a bit more. Anyway, thanks for inspiring me to work on my '66 F100 again after 20 years ! She ain't locked up ! Just need to Mortske flick the points, get a good battery and some fresh fuel, and she'll fire right up! Clutch is stuck though, might be a problem. Welcome back guys !

[@dyslexicredneck]

that 401 is way worth fixing. I if I didnt already have an 88 bimmer in need of a clutch and a 78 cj7 in need of everything I would come straight up and buy her from you. What a sweet old girl.

The switch pitch torque converter was used in TH400s and the Jetaway two speed. I had a 67 Cutlass with the Jetaway. The wires inside of my transmission were shorted out, so I never got the switch pitch to work. I swapped on a TH350 from a 68 Olds and never looked back. I was hoping the pounding I heard on the video was the sticky valve. Goid video as always!
