1969 Buick Skylark 400 V8 Ram Air GS Trim at Country Classic Cars 

Congrats man, that is a really great car! Nothing wrong with a 455, that's for sure.

Thanks for checking it out Jos!

We have plenty of classic cars in this area, that's for sure. Just Country Classic Cars alone has over 500 cars for you to check out. It's plenty to keep a person busy for a while.

Thanks for taking a look Don!

Yeah, that is pretty cool. Thanks for checking it out.

I agree, I consider them a more upscale Chevelle. I'd sure like to have a 70 Buick GS 455 or even one like this, but with a four speed.

I had a 70 chevelle ss a 71 ss and a 67 Camaro Rs .We also toured our 56 chevy in a lot of the street nationals. I am embarrassed to say that I never gave a buick a second glance . It was taboo in our family .LOL A lot of my friends had Gran torinos and Ford pickups. I heard forever from my real farm friends the strength of the Ford trucks. We also listened to our mechanic friends curse the kingpin replacement . Somewhat off topic I believe the 82nd is back in Iraq . Also locally Barrys kids killed a Bosnian with hammers . Also they started a firefight in a local bar . Worked a super long day and beat the weather coming in . Having a beer and doing paperwork . All in all life is good . I just cant seem to get a free food card . Sorry rambling that's what happens when channels converge .BTW That is a great car and an awesome induction system .

bisquik3006 Busy day here buddy . Guy baseball batted another person to death ,and a triple shooting in the real hood . Its still early I made some Popcorn and am sipping on a 15 year scotch Glenfiddich. Nice present from a good buddy Tyrone Jiggabooh from New Orleans . Cant help the way I was raised . I drink because I am sad ,and I am sad because I drink .. lol

Oh, that is awesome! You are a lucky guy, with a cool Dad. Good luck with your restoration. Just work hard and stick with it...it'll turn out great.

Luke Aj How is it going?

Yes, I picked this car to film, partially due to the fact that it had some room around it.

Thanks for watching!

The highway noise in the background is pretty loud When you add background music over top of it, it gets to be a little too much. This is one of the only videos without background music. It may be quiet in the others, but it's there. We've been taking a break from working with some of the dealerships for various reasons. We basically felt they weren't truly appreciating what we have done. We filmed hundreds of videos featuring their cars and their dealerships. Those videos generated many millions of views for each of them. Obviously, as a result, they received a ton of free advertising and a large number of sales. Our main focus was to keep increasing the quality of our videos over time, because we had dreams of doing something more on the level of something like Motor Trend, Drive, The Smoking Tire, etc. We thought that they would see the benefits of what we were doing and we would gain more access to the vehicles. What really happened is that they kept wanting higher and higher quality, but with no more access to the vehicles, and with no real cost to them. We would spend a few hours getting the best camera shots possible of the static vehicle, but then we would, at best, get a few minutes of test drive footage. Then, we would spend 8 or 10 hours editing together the footage trying to make something decent out of it.....only to be paid nothing for our efforts. We're thinking about switching to working more with individual car collectors, hot rod builders, etc. We also plan to start doing more project videos of our own. In the meantime, I'm back to doing the walkaround videos that this channel was originally built on. Just simple videos without all the fancy editing for now.

Okay.now i get it.and i can understand yalls feelings about the videos you were making.they were looking very professional. hopefully your motor trend dreams come true. you and your son deserve it,yall definitely have a passion for it.good luck.and hey,you'll always have people like me as subscribers :-)

Knightcowboy89 Thanks, we really do appreciate your support.

I agree completely, I'd be happy with any of the cars you mentioned. It was an amazing time at GM.

In the day there wasn't any 455's when that car was built. However a 360 hp Buick 430 would work just fine and you could put the 400 valve covers back on it and nobody would ever know.

papachuck63 I knew the 455 wasn't available till 1970. I agree the 430 would make a great engine for the 1969. You could get some serious HP out of those as well. As I stated I liked all the GM A body cars. I would have to say I believe the 1970 Chevelle SS454 with the LS6 is the ultimate Muscle Car. I drove a couple and they were awesome, except on wet roads and then they were scary.

Whitey I don't know if you have a Face Book page but if you do please check out my paint page. " facebook.com/chuckspaintwork" I have a 70 SS 454 Chevelle that I restored a few years ago.

Glad you like it. Thanks for watching!

It's the 400 Chevy small block that some people don't like, but it's really a bit of an undeserved bad reputation. People believe the heads are prone to cracking, but unless you overheat the engine, it won't be a problem. The main thing is to have a correctly sized radiator and fan setup. The Buick 400 in this car is a completely different design though. With the exception of the bore size, it's basically the same as a 430 or 455 Buick.

Yup. Keep em cool and they'll keep on rocking for many years. Just about the same as most motors. Good info Jeff!

Thanks for taking a look!

Thanks for checking it out Dean.

Does it give you a fizzy feeling behind your man parts?....like James May says.

behind, in front of, next to, on top of, and underneath
