First car I owned was this. I was a dumb kid in 1975, and it was probably too much car for me (although, since my parents gave it to me, I didn’t think so). No wrecks, but that was due mostly to angels working overtime! I took it off the ground several times on back - gravel! - roads and even slid it neatly into a space between two other cars with just inches between both sides - THAT was an accident, showing off for a hot chick. (We’re married now, BTW) wish I’d appreciated it more, but I couldn’t wait to trade it off for a 1976 Roadrunner. That was fun, too.
My dad was a Buick dealer from 1958-1968, and I started driving in 1964, so I got to drive quite a few new Buicks, obviously. But I don't remember any of them that ran quite like this one....it's a monster! But those Big block Buicks always had that torque.
4k is a pretty good start in making a 455 have as much power as his. Buick engines are beasts but they take a lot of money. I've got about 2500 in my original 350 and it'll have only 400 or so HP
I put a 70 455 in my 68 rebuilt the engine mild cam headers 2.5 mandrel bent exhaust main studs full groove mains high volume oil pump (extended gears/with space plate 3 key timing chain 4*advance very fast 70 was the best year for 455 miss that car
If you're running the 73 heads those are big chamber heads for low compression or find some 70 stage 1 heads port and polish them and Port match them if you have enough money buy some ta performance stage 2 heads they're about $2,000 they'll wait that motor up you can call TA performance and I'm sure they can tell you a recipe how you can make a car run like that easily

Nice i got 2 68 rivieras one is a gs i installed a 455 in both cars still working on them
remember the 2 nerdy hitmen in the black 68 charger in Bullitt , clicking their seatbelts on ? lol Love Buick big blocks !!Great Car
Great burnt out at 4:24. Nice horse power. I have a 69 with 350. Makes me re-think. Great job. Great Driving!
Torque Monster is the understatement.
Would like to see an exterior photo of this car.
Would love to hear a cold start on this! Love cold starts in 60’s GMs, Mopars and Fords!
Impressively quick......just a damn shame it was impossible to decipher ANY of the conversation! All the tape provided was noise & a little high rpm!
Need one of them cameras in my 68 sport wagon
Nice!
Give me Info what did u do for oil pressure that keep dropping
Would love to have that car 😃🇩🇰
How did you mount the tach on the steering column?
I don't seem to have the room on my 68.
Ernie Boots I’ll have to ask my friend how he did it
@@Snubbleflange thanks!
So he says it’s a Sun tach from summit racing and it’s just attached with two band clamps... he says there’s a kit to install.
@@stevemartin9498 thanks.
That is what I have but it didn't seem to fit.
I will try again.
@@Snubbleflange how many horsepower ??
I have a fesh 73 455 in a 69 gs400. What parts make your car like that for less than $4k? my engine seems anemic.
Needs a bigger carb lol
Cam, cam, cam.

can I buy this car?
Ramone Kent I’m pretty sure my friend will bury these cars next to him when he dies 😞
search
I want to see a video of those chicks dancing to KC and the Sunshine Band shake your booty
Dude quit turning around and looking at the camera we acknowledge you are in there
rgiles12 sorry just making sure my camera wasn’t slipping from where it was 👍🏻
Snubbleflange
Tell him go fuck himself. lol you can’t I know but I can
Nerds will be nerds.
Nerds don't own a '69 Buick with a 455 big block and know how to drive like that.
@@kevintaylor8832 68
Jealous
with ll this sound a mercedes would reach australia from USA at a glance, fuel thirsty useless cars
What a rock! No wonder they laugh & giggle. That car wouldn't go 11s if you put 5 hemis in the trunk and pushed it off a cliff!
Actually it runs 10’s now and all it takes is just the one Buick engine.
@@Snubbleflange Some guys are just jealous, I guess. That engine sounds SWEET!
You must drive a fucking Toyota prius,,
