First, nice car, you got a hell of a deal. It's not a 71, that's a 1970. The trim you pulled out of the trunk is the horn button for the original steering wheel. You should check the block casting number to verify that is really a 455. Good luck with your build.

My favorite car

There is a full custom restoration in store for this car. Stay tuned for that!

is it hydraulic or electric…

Mavericks are completely marvelous. Superb design and the engine is a classic. It's a real badass musclecar. Congratulations on your work!

The reason why there's no mirror on the right side is cars were sold with left side mirror. Right side is what called Optional..

Holy ish you got a deal on that car any classic with that shape that fastback look is one of my dream classics a 71 chevelle would be a dream but that cutlass is just as good congrats

An oldsmobile cant be a donk....somebody slabbed it out is the proper terminology....cool video though

Can I please get the part number for the part having trouble trying to find the right one?

2500$ Danm that was a come up hahahah good buy 👍

Nice and raspy❤❤❤

Make sure your grounds are making good contact for your blinkers….i put those same head lights on my sons ‘67 mustang and man they make a huge difference….im thinking about putting a set in my nova and c10 just cause they are so affordable,but mainly because of the hidden blinker feature

I have to do the same thing to my sons ‘67 mustang in the near future when it becomes time to repaint it…..right now were building a late 90’s explorer roller cam 302 to replace the tired c code 289 that is original to the car and getting very sleepy, although we did add a aces efi killshot unit on it and it woke that tired 289 right up

Wow…..nice job dude!!!…..turnt out sharp!!!

Whats the scoop on that maverick ya got in the garage behind you….im not much for fords but i make an exception for old fords, especailly mavericks

Alot of old cars didnt come with passenger mirrior…..typically you only need 2 mirriors to be street legal….driver door and interior or both doors

$2500 is crazy and a Donk is a 71-76 Chevy Caprice or impala

Hell yea remove that goofy lift and thats one specail car ya got there…..nice price too…..great score!!!!

I had a "71 Cutlass SX convertible several years ago. Mine started life as a GM test car. I had all the paperwork from its GM "test" days so that was a plus. It was built in Michigan and shipped to the Arlington, TX plant. When they were done with it, it was sold as a used car out of an Olds dealership in Dallas, TX. I miss that car. It's still the home page pic on my iPad. There is a club for these cars. Just search SX455 and you will see it. Keep 'em Up-N-Runnin!!!

Perfect winter car

Off-road cutlass

i have the 2.5 cvt version (but with 100k miles on it) and there's something funny to me about driving around in a rare ass version of altima. only seen a few of these on the road.

looks good..i give ya a thumbs up...love mavericks

Getting it done is such a reward. Sure a lot of small things will still be annoying but having the 80% conquert is so nice.

Nice man

Good stuff, seen a 100k Cadillac with worse orange peel

What a nice color

I had one back in the days it’s a classic.

I think you have a timing problem, cam and crank are not timed together

Sounds like I e the starter is not turning fast enough every time the engine tries to start it is turning faster than the starter and disengages the starter!! Try a 12v battery just to start it!

You have a intake valve that's stuck open😊

terrible camera work. I know you are exited but gimmy a break.

Prime it with gasoline those little squirts of either wouldn't do it.

Yes, watch cold war motors, that guy is too much and so are his buddies. I have a Model A. Get a manual. Get the Service bulletins. If you don't know, go back to the beginning. All the info on that engine is available. Shooting in the dark is a waste of time. With the correct info, you'll figure it out. Enjoy the process.

Hey I tjimk you have a valve if you don't have any compression pushing your finger off on bsck cylinder that's what it is just pop head off and light very light tap center of vakve down just make sure your not on high side of the cam where cam is pushing valve open make sure it's in low side the placement of motor has noting to do withit not running either you should tap the key or starter button with your finger over the number one cylinder spark hole and when it blows your ringer off your on. Top dead center on compression stroke. At least close !!!! And rhen pop dist cap off and make sure the rotor button is pointing at the spark wire that goes to that number one cylinder then run the rest of the wires to what firieng order is

It's not in bad condition considering and I love oddball cars.

Nancy's Guy Frank here.... YOU have a GREAT CAR !!! It is the most complete car (with all the parts you say it has) that I have seen in a long time. It is NOT beyond repair. You may not have seen the TH-cam channel... "Cold War Motors"... it has several Kaiser/Frazer's. The "TH-cam site owner", Scott Newstead, is a body and fender man but he has learned to work on mechanical stuff and has "rebuilt" an OLDER FRAZER (his looked like it was headed to the crusher... and was actually) to be his "daily driver" (in the summer any way, as he is in Canada... 3 feet of snow etc ). SO MANY people give up if the floors are rusted or gone. Don't give up! I'm 77 years old and I know YOU have a project on your hands. But it can be done. TRY not to change it too much. Work on and try to complete the Mechanics first. Don't do much to the body, but keep the "gasses" from getting in the car, that is what Scott did. I think it will be very satisfying project. YOU have the knowledge already and I know you can do what Scott Newstead has done. He brought back to life a '49 Kaiser/Frazer on his channel, the mechanics are VERY much the same, only the body is different. Scott's old car does not look great... no paint etc. But it runs well and he drives it all summer. It's worth watching his old Kaiser/Frazer videos, and seeing how he did it. Flat heads, 6 or 8's, are known to be able to "run forever", they are just NOT modern race engines. You could have a great running and fun to drive OLD car. And YOU will be proud to drive it around, no matter what it looks like. We are Pulling for you! I'm old, but I wish I was near by, I would love to pass you the wrenches or hand you what you needed next... Scott has a neighbor, Tom, who does that for him... 😁 These are one of my favorite cars, please video as much as possible, I'm going to love watching !!!

I would have LOVED to watch this! I get motion sickness from handheld shots, though. I can handle some if the camera's not fire-hosing. I love these channels when they employ a tripod, but so few of them do. Will check back sometime.

I have several flathead sixes. You're very close. Don't give up. My last one was seized and hadn't run in 48 years. It now purrs. It will take awhile for sticky valves to work out and so on. 12v will do wonders for you. In my most recent one rodents had eaten all the wiring anyway. Keep going.

TIMING.!! Ignition and or valve timing, mate. And that's just to begin with. Please please please learn learn learn more about what you are doing before this gets ruined and pushed into a shed or scrapped as I've seen so many lovely cars go that way over my 57 years on this planet If something is banging back through the carb its always timing well out. Get some advice from someone who will help you. I'm in England so exactly around the corner from you. Please dont just start ripping things apart as I dont see you ever putting it back together and that car deserves more. Take care and dont let enthusiasm and lack of knowledge ruin things for you. All the best.

Burnt intake valve. that's why it spits back through the carb.

I'm far from an Expert on these, so let me know if there was something I missed!

What are the front seats from? Look nice!

Best way to get those top 2 bolts is to take that little bracket that's above the bolts off! It's 2 13mm bolts and then unplug the clip that's right there! Pull that bracket out of the way and you can remove those bolts with a ratchet from above! Install of the bolts was super easy too this way. I also removed the torque strut arm so i had more room. Not sure how anyone else even got to these bolts otherwise

That poor helltima😢😂😂😂 🤡🤡🤡

Awesome video! Just got done putting my engine back in my car, building a new exhaust is my next step. Gonna make videos following my progress on my engine pull and building a new exhaust. Awesome car btw!

It sound like a muscle car.

Wow that sounds crazy
