Will It RUN AND DRIVE 600 Miles Home?1968 Buick LeSabre 400 FORGOTTEN For 26 YEARS!

My friends' parents bought this 1968 Buick LeSabre 400 Brand new in 1968. In fact, they even filled out the order sheet. When they unfortunately passed, the car just sat parked for 26 years. The 400 model has the high compression high performance 350 small block, and the turbo 400 transmission. This car is loaded with goodies, including an 8 track player! I take on the challenge of firing the old boy up again, and attempting to drive 600 miles back home!

I would have given anything for a relationship like this with my dad. This is what memories are made if for this young man. Much respect.

My dad had a 1973 Buick Lesabre. The car was wider than John Candy's ass (R.I.P.) it had a 350 in it. I helped him work on that car many times. One of the big jobs he did was replacing the cam shaft. One lobe was rounded down from a stuck hydraulic lifter. tap tap tap was louder when the engine was cold. I was the flashlight holding master back then 😂 But I learned so much from my father in general. Being a homeowner and fixing things myself, to working on my own cars today. Thanks dad and thank you for this channel. I continue to learn more and get smiles from videos like this with awesome memories of childhood.

We watch you all the time! I did my time under the hood and under the car with my husband.....enough to know most of the sounds of trouble and what it means and all the working parts! And we can soooo relate to the things and trouble you run into!!! It's just fun to watch a younger year head!! Of course the new vehicles are pretty much out of our scope! Of course we bought a new GMC truck in 2021 and I was driving....passing a truck at 80 and heard a noise and all the lights came on....we looked at each other and I said uh oh Jerry this is bad and he agreed....we kept looking and listening while I pulled into a nearby roadside....I said that sounds like a lifter and my husband agreed! After a week of frustration we found out it was a collapsed lifter and GMC made a deal with us on a new Ford pick up! Talked your head off....sorry!! Just so much fun talking to you about cars!

You are blessed, sir. I envy relationships like that. My father sparked my interest in american classic cars when I was a kid. He had a maroon 1976 Chevy Van shorty, which he turned into a camper, and a 1954 Mercury Monterey he never finished. Since I was just a child, I focused my love for american cars on plastic kits in 1/25 scale, and by reading the thoroughly made manuals, I learned the names on the operational parts as in a real car.

When we were finishing up the job, she says to me, " you know I still have a Lesabre in the garage, would you like to see it?" I just about hit the ceiling with excitement, id been hearing every little detail about such a classic car the whole time id been working for her so I excitedly took her up on her offer. She grabs her keys and leads me to the garage to show me an ABSOLUTELY MINT...... 2001 Lesabre............ She hops in the car, fires up all 3 liters of engine and exclaims "Made out of solid steel, just like they should be" as she pats the plastic paneling. I was SOOOO disappointed but what can you do? I feigned my excitement and shared the moment with her, because in her head she was still driving that 1968 she purchased with her husband.

Seeing the little guy grow up around cars, hanging with pops and watching him wrench, gives me hope for some of the future generations.

he hasn't reached the dangerous teen years yet... when their phone has to be surgically removed because it has grown together with their body

By then this will be just a museum piece, sitting in his garage, there to show off to his son with tales of the grandfather 's repair and 600 mile road trip while he loads the family in the latest E V !

Glad I found this channel. Awesome videos and love them being so long. Your son hollering BRING THE THUNDER!!! Made my day. Lucky man having family involved in everything. Dont ever stop making these videos or change who you are.

[@timredding2489]

Hi Derek and Family ! Been enjoying your vlogs for the last year or so. Absolutely hilarious !! But I have to say I do learn alot and that came in handy today on one of our old work trucks today. Long hard Friday on the job and just wanted to get home for an adult beverage. NOPE. No starter. Checked battery- good. Checked fuses and relays- good. Checked for 12vdc at the starter relay- good with key- good. About to give up and remembered an old trick you use ALOT !!! Had the kid dive under the truck and used the Tanya Harding (24oz) "lightly" tapping on her for a couple minutes..BAM ! She cranked and started right up. Got back to the ranch and shut down. Needed to tap again to get a restart, so guess I am swapping the starter in the am. Thank you for the tip as well as many more !! Take care of yourself my friend. Not sure what I would watch after enjoying so many great times with you !!! God Bless !!!

[@Boone9269]

The only "hour plus" long videos on KZbin that I will watch in entirety. I have been absolutely hooked on this channel!

[@Vool2go]

First time I've seen this channel and I could not stop watching!!!

[@Iz0pen]

Yeah I do watch some full sized videos but I absolutely slam the play button on these vids quick!

[@jerrycraig6522]

Yep!!!, 100%

[@egroegartfart]

Same here. I usually skip ahead alot with long videos but I watch all of these.

[@Andyneo100]

That young human should have had a mic on when he shouted "Bring the Thunder"

[@nobodyspecial6436]

My thoughts exactly...... the apple never falls far from the tree..... i got a good giggle out of that.... those boys are gonna be good solid men just like their Daddy.... the world can use lots more like them...

[@larrypostma2866]

Hearing that tiny “Bring the thunder” made my day.

[@chriscroley9279]

Best part of the episode was the small voice screaming "Bring the Thunder".

[@Aspra]

No, its even better that it was so quiet. hah.

[@Aaronthisout]

After watching a bunch of your other adventures home this one seems to be somewhat pleasurable! Love the guys stuff, keep er going! Let’s get updates on what you did with some of these cool rides!!

[@whiteknightinblack]

good to see you getting your boy involved, hopefully he enjoys it and continues on in that direction when he gets older.

[@increasedelevation3776]

At 25:26 When your boy shouts "BRING THE THUNDER!!!" Thats one of those moments that just warms my heart lmao Good on yuh

[@earnharvick]

She's a keeper! She wasn't ready to rust away, lot of life left in that old gal!

[@pb5640]

This kid is lucky. He is learning from a smart man. I love his humor! thank you for putting this up! My first car was a Brown 1968 Buick LeSabre 4Door. This brought back many memories.

[@scottmanley9854]

Hey Derek it’s so funny to hear Bentley say “ bring the thunder” I like him out of all your kids no offense he seems to be awfully helpful when it comes to working on the cars and trucks !!!

That door buzzer is the cars way of telling you that it appreciates the love you're giving her and that she wants to live again!!! Hard to argue sometimes that those old gals don't have a soul.

[@darrinpeterson6318]

Out of all this seems to be my go to video every morning when I'm at work . I work for ACI in Grandrapids Michigan. I like it when you're little man saids bring the thunder. Or when he is wiggling the battery cables and he saids smoke. Or when he watches a tool go flying on one of the start ups just before the lady comes up and started asking questions. Lol

[@Hurst_Hemi]

I know this is an older video but wanted to say love what you are doing. Keep it up. By the way that old El Camino if ya need a home for her I've got a spot in my garage. Even might have something to trade ya

@@Ellecram I wasn't a car person either until I retired and the money went south. Had a mechanic willing to teach me and I just kept going and going and learning. Sure beats being a computer programmer and sitting all day.

I can’t stop watching your videos, so refreshing to watch them instead of most of the crap on tv. They bring back a lot of memories of when I had to do that stuff to just be able to drive around. Great job!!!

Back in the mid 70s, I took my dad's '66 Caddy on a road trip with my buddies and pedaled it easy because of gas prices at that time. The 429 got 21 on the highway at about 55 mph. I think that Buick would do much better than 14 when it's fully repaired.

[@duanestephens8502]

There is a moment at 41:08 that I do believe could possibly the moment when Bently fell in love with automobile rescue. A true silent moment of "yes, we got it"
