I had a 75 Buick Electra Limited with the 455 and had the terrible compression this was around 2012, I had the motor reworked to make it more in line with a 70, and believe it or not A Guy from Saudi Arabia called me about it and wanted to buy it and ship it to Saudi Arabia, he offered me a price I could not refuse. I really hope you put her back on the road, I drove mine for 2 years and I have never owned a car that rode so smooth, had such power, was so long and weighed so much. My favorite part was in the back seats in the armrests were ashtrays AND lighters, Pure luxury for 1975.. I miss her immensely and am looking for another
It's good to hear that some people are aware of how great Buicks really are. Their engines were torque monsters and very reliable. Buicks just gave you more bang for the buck.
IM 63 and i started driving on a three on the tree ford pu at nine, had a learners permit at 14 and a drivers lic the day i turned 16. Started selling cars in 81 and soon learned that you made more money in your driveway than on commission for a dealer. I'd get the newpaper at one in the morning and find a few prospects that seemed like a deal. Im not a mechanic but I just learned to fix things as I found them , with old Clymer manuals or asking at the wrecking yard. Back in the day these cars were so cheap I bought and sold a 69 Camaro 4sp, 68 Firebird, 66 Malibu , 67 Chevelle, 73 Monte Carlo 454, 81 Z28 4sp, and so on and so on , all my friends in HIgh school had amazing cars cuz they were so cheap , there was a 70 Impala SS 427 in our high sch, a 70 Cuda 383 4sp etc etc etc muscle cars everywhere. This was my hobby my fun and income as well I'd buy a car with a few problems , figure out how to fix it , change all the fluids detail it and sell it.
Damn I wish I'd kept one , I drove a 57 Chev 210 2dr post to grade 12 . Never had the money to keep one I just kept flipping them . so I love these videos brings back so many memories. My buddy had a bone stock 76 Transam 400 that would wrap the speedo around past the 120 to an estimated 140 mph. The tales I could tell. EVen stole a 58 Corvette 327 4sp one night , long story , I couldnt resist driving it , I had to drive it so I frikkin stole it. I "borrowed " a 308 GTI out of our dealership one night they left the keys in it, big mistake. never got it out of second gear , it was nuts.
She's a beauty! You have a great collection there. That old Caddy is special too.
Nicks Garage hat, the man is a legend! He’s in Quebec and worth the visit.
I meet him last year. He is truly an incredible wealth of knowledge.
My brother had a 1970 GS Buick convertible with that copper/bronze metallic paint. Beautiful car and rare as well. That was back in the 80s. If we only knew to keep these kind of cars
Sadly we have all done that, but how could we have known
UTG and Dallas have been doing a lot Videos on these Buick engines lately, Dallas is the Wizard GOD of buick!!!
Actually Lunar and Dallas would be a natural combination in that way if not for personality conflicts.
That '70 in the junkyard is a '70 LeSabre. That's why it's got the 350. Grille is different as well.
Yup I have been corrected a few times. I appreciate you feed back. For some reason I was thinking they had switched over the 71 style grill and bumper.
@@LunarOutlawsGarage I am a moderator on Facebook for the "1970's Great Amercian Land Yacht" group. I've owned nearly everything from the 70's besides the high end muscle cars. I had a '70 GS 455 too. It was Diplomat Blue and came from Connecticut via Oregon. I currently own a '70 Caprice 2 door with a factory LS5 454 and a '72 U code 455 Cutlass Supreme. My name is Jason. Had an article come out about 5 years on bestride.com called "The Car Whisperer". Never know whose checkin' out your channel. ;)
That is awesome man 🤘. I am new to the full size cars; I grew up owning the a bunch of A70 Supras, but I always wanted to get a muscle car. Earlier this year, I took home a 1963 Cadillac Coupe Deville, and after taking that on a 12-13 hr road trip, I was incredibly impressed with how it performed. It was like a well built bass boat, not like the modern boring land yachts. I am looking forward to making this my family road trip car. I really do enjoy all kinds of cars, from muscle to imports, but the older I get, the more comfortable performance impresses me.
They also made a Wildcat that's based on the LeSabre the grille is different from the LeSabre and it has a 455 in it.
@@daltonhanleyjr4142 1970 was the last year for the Wildcat, for model year 1971 Buick introduced the Centurion to replace the Wildcat. The Wildcat came without Ventiports, just like the 1971-1972-1973 Centurion.
You're looking at a Buick LeSabre that's why it has the 350 which was standard in the LeSabre a lower trim than the Electra. Hope you find one.
Such a beautiful car. Buick has definitely been slept on as a true classic.
Couldn't agree more!
The light blue car is a Buick LeSabre which is why it has a 350 engine.
Thank you for saving her !!!
What an absolute monster. I get what you're saying about big body cars. I wasnt into them until i got a bit older. There's just something about 60's big body, 2 door cars like Buick's and Cadillac's from the 50's and 60's. They've got soul.
100% man they just have something that is hard to describe
I have severe back and neck issues and for me a big old boat like an Electra, Olds 98, Chrysler is the only way to go. For some reason riding in a car with a stiff suspension just isn't much fun when you have 15 bad discs in your back and neck.
@@LunarOutlawsGarage true luxury and comfort!
My dad was military, remember when we lived in MA, NH, NY and Ohio...a lot of people had a "Summer" car and a "Winter" car. The winter versions had street sign floorboards, long screws with fiberglass and/or bondo quarter panel bottoms, roof tar-slathered undersides, and exhaust systems that were pieced together with auto part store exhaust bits or worse
First paint color on your phone looks more like the correct color !
The junkyard Buick you keep referring to as an Electra is actually a LeSabre! Take a look around the car and you'll see it is the much smaller "B" body and has an entirely different rear end. Also, any remaining badges should have been a clue in addition to the 350.
Yeah someone already corrected that thank you. I for some reason thinking they had already gone to the 71 era bumper on the Lasabre and there was no badges remaining
She did clean up pretty good, and I'm glad that you're ready for the issues that come with older cars. Would've been nice to snag a 2nd 455 though.
I was really hoping to grab a2nd 455 but it wasn’t meant to be today
Hi from New Zealand yes thats a cool ride needs some TLC and its all good. Here in NZ we have some Buicks and Ive seen one of these cruising around. Nice full size cars.
She needs quite a bit of love but she has great bones. Buick really made some great looking car is back in the day
Best video i watched in a long time.👍👍👍
The white Buick on the junkyard with the 350 is a LeSabre, not Electra.
I wish i would have seen this video earlier.
Thats a LeSabre. That trunk lid wont fit b3cause the Electra is a C body and has a formal roof Olds/Cadillac/Buick with a different tail light panel. The LeSabre is a B body and has the lower Chevrolet/ Pontiac body.
Without delay, clean and protect the latches etc for the fender skirts. They *will* get very crusty and need it, (Also take wheels off and look first from behind. Rust may be all that holds them on.) (Also, yeah, grey primer under the little pockmarks is a dead giveaway that's not a factory paint job, even if that copper-bronze is a real color from then. The color they painted over with is also a real color, probably what was fresh then. ) (And unless you happen to find quality wheel covers you can polish, find some decent wire wheels or something. That'd be period for a lot of styles. Also chrome steelies, especially smoothies with Baby Moons, might be better than trying to hunt down the correct blandness anyway. :)
Speaking about the poor roof prep it came from the factory with a vinyl top so they really didn’t do very much prep underneath of it they put lid on that same and that was it bro back in the day where is my dad says sometimes back in the boonies
remember the reverse lights on these cars were also red tail lights - there is a red lens inside the outer lens for this.. be careful when removing the outer lenses and chrome bezels so as not to lose any of these small pieces that would be next to impossible to replace
When I was growing up in the 60's and early 70's, a friend of mine's dad had this car, the Buick Electra 225. Gold with black vinyl roof and black interior. Sometimes he would pick me up in it to go play at my friend's house. I've always remembered that car.
That must have been a great looking color combination
The first buick isn't a 225 but a lasebra that's why it has a 350
Well my sister had a lasebre and it had a 350 but to be honest I hate ya anyway you morons are the reason why us poor folks can't afford any ride but new shit and I wouldn't take that new shit if the good Lord handed it all to me
Fellas it’s a Buick LeSabre!

my parents used to say, democrats are for the poor and the Republicans are for the rich.
I decided to join the Republicans. because I wanted to be a rich Republican NOT a poor democrat.
The choice is yours. Don't blame others for your pitfalls
@@bertgrau9246 true there
your absolutely correct, i caught that to
In the past I drag raced buicks you can check but if memory serves you can take the heads off a buick 430. they have the same casting numbers as the 455 gs stage 1 heads just have to pocket port around the valves and change to the stage 1 valves. these heads have very small conbuston chambers.
You can use the 430 heads but you have to block the oil from feeding through the rocker assembly. The 430 on a 71 or newer for 55 would be a great swap but in 1970 the valves and combustion chambers are the same as the 430. You’re better off increasing the size of the valves and doing a port job on a 70 head. It must’ve been a lot of fun drag racing Buicks they can be monster.
Omg! Go copper! That would look sick! Very cool car man!
I had The same car in high school. It had A 454 in it but a lifter would always knock. I had it painted lime green with a black top. It was a head turner.
454 is Chebby, Buick is 455.
The car in the bushes looks like a Lesabre (from the c pillar) plus I don't think Electras were sedans (b pillar) back then.
hey buford info at a glance you can the difference in a 350 to 455 to simple a 350 has 3 ribs on valve cover 455 has 4 easy as pie
Count the valve cover bolts: five for the 400-430-455 vs. six for the 350.
Great find! I’m a Old Chrysler guy, but I’d grab a Buick boat tail or any deuce and a quarter I could get!
You’re a lucky man! That Electra is gonna make you VERY happy!
(and I prefer resto-mods!)
I agree man Buick’s are just classy as heck
430 head swap!!! Not hard to do and lots of compression. Best BBB flowing head! I would love to see it!!
And check the 67 for the switch pitch transmission!
Original vinyl tops on the Buick had 2 seams 1 on the left side one on the right side same for the GS if it was replaced it would have a single seam down the Middle
That hearse, 1970, had a 472, not a 500 from the factory. If you get a chance, can you get some pictures of the hearse so I can see which coach company made it?
That junkyard trip was like your were in vietnam jungles! Nice cleanup!
Lol
4doorseat won't work in 2 door top part does not fold to let people in the back seat
I think we have a few of these 2 and 4 door at the local bone yard I visit. I'd have to look again.
Might want to have a look at the frame right where the front of the skirts follow the frame. Most of them Crack there and where bottom of the rear front fender and front door follow that area along the frame. Much success on your build.
These vehicles came with
Engine:
401 cu in (6.6 L) Nailhead V8
425 cu in (7.0 L) Nailhead V8
430 cu in (7.0 L) Buick V8
455 cu in (7.5 L) Buick V8
None came with a 350 though the air cleaner from a 350 is similar to the 401's not sure though
The Fourth Gen's 71-76 offered a 350* in them
The 1970 LeSabre came with a 350 Buick, the 455 was optional. Your list is something you found on the internet...?
@@badboattail wikipedia
Why don't you fix what little rust there is and put a new vinyl top back on? That will reduce your work load by a lot. In order to weld the holes on the roof, you are going to have to remove the head liner which means buying a new one. I would avoid all of that.
As much hassle vinyl tops are, they just look right on cars of that age. At least the roof was painted and not too bad under the vinyl. Chrysler didn't paint the roofs on theirs. An Imperial of that era usually has serious rust at both the windshield and rear glass areas that require quite a bit of work to fix.
I love these old car saves, when I was 13 I bought a 70 Skylark for 20 bucks with a slipping tranny that was bigger than I was, 40 dollars in parts later it could peel out all the way down the block,very fun first car for trail riding it would plow through any thing. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Looking at the back of the junk yard Buick would have answered all your questions immediately.
If you know how to count: LeSabre = 3 Ventiports, Electra = 4 Ventiports. No need to walk all the way to the back to discover that the LeSabre emblem is long gone....
Quick and easy way to verify 350-455 is the number of valve cover bolts. 350 has six bolts, the 400-430-455 have five.
How do u get titles for these cars if abandoned?..I know of alot hidden gems in the mountains,but always put off by title issues...some states are more strict than others..
As far as New York goes as long as it’s been registered in New York at one point it’s not too hard to do.
I know with the 1971GS I had to go through an attorney to be able to lock it down. sometimes are more complicated than others
Yes Buick did indeed build some marvelous vehicles back in the day; that is why I've owned five of them. Not at all like the Chinese made crap they sell now.
Funny you mention the Chinese….they love Buick’s !
Nice car. I have a 1970 buick electra 225 cabriolet the chrome on the bumpers are not so good.do you know were i can find these. Living in sweden
Great Content Man, Love The ‘70 Buick “Deuce” Coverage, She Pretty Solid, Love To Hear It Again.. Keep Up The Awesome Work Boss..
This will make an awesome long hauler for the family
Cleaned up pretty good
I had a Buick Le Sabre with455 and 4 speed Auto!!!
Time and money that’s everyone’s problem dam it I wish I had both haha 😂 nice show
I came here to tell you that the Buick in the junkyard is a Lesabre but I see that you have been well schooled on that already! The other thing is that all of the body and paint work that you're saying is poor workmanship is probably forty years old! As far as the filler cracking out of the left rear quarter panel it may have been hit from the backside by stuff in the trunk to loosen it up and let the moisture in and cause it to rust and crack out, The glue on moulding that is peeling off of the car isn't factory installed, It's either dealer or the owner installed it, That moulding comes in rolls and you cut it to length for each panel as you install it, I haven't bought any for a long time but you can probably still get it somewhere, I always got it at the local body shop supply store like Sherwin Williams or PPG. Another thing that the dealers and body shops did that was popular back in the day was pin striping. It came in 150 foot rolls, the most popular size was 1/8 paired with 1/16 with 1/8 margin between them, Back to the condition of the car, It was in the worst possible place to be parked for all of that time! Short of being underwater! Pine sap and pine needles fill every crack and crevice and they will eat a car apart! So far it looks like you really lucked out! If the frame is solid and the body mounts are still good your golden, The first mounts to go was always the ones right behind the rear wheels, The mount and trunk floor would rot away but but it's easy enough to build it back in as you can access it from underneath and inside the trunk. Since you have researched the Buick 455 so much I assume that you know you have in your possession the engine known as the ''Hemi Killer''! The only difference is you don't have the Stage one heads, But the heads you have are the same casting! Just bigger valves and ports and you seem to love porting heads and I'm sure you know of a shop with the capability to install bigger valves and seats, Or that makes aluminum heads that are even better than the stage ones! Check out Uncle Tony and Dallas' video's on Buick heads tonight! If you haven't already, You'll love it! You are planning to make the Electra your family cruiser, If I was sitting where you are I would plunk the LS down in the Electra and build the GS into a ''Hemi Killer''! I used to have the issue of Muscle Car Review that had the comparison of the Hemi And the 455 and it was epic! Please don't get angry with me for talking to you about doing the GS into an original BEAST of a muscle car, My ex wife and I stumbled into a flame orange with black top and bucket seat interior 1972 Buick GS 350 after being told about a little Buick Special an old lady had for sale when she needed a car! I couldn't believe it! The little old lady had a GS! I bought 3 parts cars and got a tilt column, cruise control, rear defog, posi track, rear stablizer bar with boxed control arms and power windows and put in it and repainted it with base clear eurathane and found a 455 to put in it to complete the package and then lost it and the Monte Carlo I bought and redid for her so the GS would be her nice weather only car in a divorce! To be honest I didn't miss her a bit but I missed the GS! I still had the Electra with the 455 but I got an offer to good to refuse that paid a lot of bills I got stuck with during the divorce! That GS was an awesome car decked out with all of the options I put in it and the 350 was no slouch but it would have been a beast with the 455!
Oh ya Hemi killer!🤘😎🤘 I was really disappointed when I bought my GS it was badged as stage stage one and he said it was an original air car I couldn’t get the hood open so I trusted the seller. Unfortunately I got hoodwinked. It had an accident an it was very poorly put back together, and the air conditioning was definitely added by someone with tinsnips lol. TA performance has a set of really awesome aluminum heads that would be great. I always appreciate peoples feedback, and constructive criticism so no apology required.
@@LunarOutlawsGarage I wish i had pictures of the GS My ex and I had! I had loaded it up with all of the options I could find, Buying whole cars to get the options out of them, The car was cool as hell to drive, I was building it right after the Hemi killer article came out so I was obsessed with building one! It made me sick that I had to let her have both of those cars to get the divorce through! She came to me with the clothes on her back and left with the Buick and an almost new Monte Carlo that I bought damaged at the dealership I worked for and rebuilt it into a better looking than new car with the basecoat clearcoat paint cut and buffed to perfection! I got both of hers done and had bought a damaged 78 Grand Prix LJ that was loaded with options, It only had a 301 but it was the smoothest running and driving ''G'' body I ever owned I was building it for me and she got mad because I was building myself a car so she hid the cars, drained the bank account and left! Like I said the Buick GS was the only thing I missed, Then about a year later she got a boyfriend and let him drive the GS and he wrecked it and then dumped her! I just look at yours and it's so close to the one I had and I see ''Hemi killer"" all over again! I know that no matter what you do to it you will do it first class!
That rear window and roof is tough. You may have to just lay down a coat of epoxy resin to fill in those holes and slather some Bondo on top of it to make it look presentable.
How did the car get on the trailer backwards? Didn't you back up to where it was to load it? I wish more people would show the loading of the cars on their channels. I like the logistics of it all.
Also, it is generally a bad idea to load a car backwards unless you secure the doors so they can't open in route.
It was kind of a rush to get it on there when I picked it up as I didn’t want to waste my buddy’s time. We were only going 6 miles down the road, and I ran out of gas, so we had to use the winch to pull it on.
That was probably a cheap Earl Scheib paint job from the late 70's
Agreed! As far as I know, Electras in 1970 only came with a 455. They were the top of Buick's line.
I watch a ton of these vids and still can't believe these guys touch everything with no gloves and crawl in and out of these vehicles skin exposed. EWWWWW, lol!!! But i love watching them bring these classics back.
I know that bug is looking for a front right brake caliper for his caddy. Maybe you can rake the one off of the caddy in this video for him.
Side note. 71 GTX no motor and 71 Satellite with motor for sale on a new Chanel called Rusty Iron Projects R.I.P. price seems good. Package deal. Right up your Alley.
thatr is a Lesabre not and electra..hence the 350
cleaning the Buick just need a sip and span and a good steaming cleaning and removing the molding trim and just put pin striping to match it and peeling the vinyl wrap it will can ruin the wrap so just paint the top into a 2 tone paint on the Electra.
Do you have any of the parts off of this Buick left and I I’m a fan of yours and I was looking at part two where you had found all the rust damage and stuff to the front windshield all that my name is Steve I from South Bend Indiana and I’m interested in the back up lightsif you have parts left, let me know for that I got a 70 convertible but they said I need a few parts that that your car had so if you still have it, give me a holler appreciate you
Unfortunately I only keep drive line parts
You might consider Chrysler Turbine Bronze possibly with some pearl added. It's a great color for a big car. Also rain on ticks make wet ticks.
the salvage yard car is a LeSabre - 455 was optional on these models 350 was standard
Yesterday it was silver , today copper, tomorrow who knows . I agonize when it comes to color choice and never end up with my 1st choice.Try to find ads from when the car was 1st introduced The colors choices for ads showed colors that accentuate the lines the best. I just use that bit to brain storm not to copy. New car lots are a good way to get ideas for color choices.
Lol color choice is always the biggest decision. Sounds weird but I always try to let the car make the decision of what color it’s going to be. You got a let it talk to you lol
thats not an electra the 4 door car thats a lesabre. you can tell by the roof line. 455 has 5 bolts in valve cover 350 has 6.
Great call man I forgot they had that bumper on the 1970 for some reason I thought they had gone to the 71 bumper style in 1970.
@@LunarOutlawsGarage no all 70 big buick cars had that front clip minis a riviera. 70 was the last year of the wildcat however. that 67 if it was 430 would be a wildcat as the lesabres all had small blocks from 64-69. the 455 was offered in 70. that 350 though is a high comp unit so it would one worth getting. after 70 the cr dropped to 8.5. also that prob is the factory color on your electra. its always lighter than the book. you could tell by the fire wall and jams. i like that a color my grandpas 69 lesabre and 72 electra both where that color. the one piece of sheet metal need on the window channel should be the same on a 98 olds. idk if a repop is made but that looks to be an easy patch. lastly you can use the electric seat frame with the manual seat body that all unbolts from each other.
Unfortunately the only thing really left of the 67 is in front of the dashboard the whole top of the car is crushed because they put another vehicle on it at some point
@@LunarOutlawsGarage yeah it looks rough. maybe could salvage the front clip thats about it.
Hi, I'm pretty new here on your channel and I really like your style of making videos. I really enjoy watching your videos so keep up the amazing work. Also more people like you should exist..

Thank you really much Olle I appreciate it. We are only for a limited time so we might as well enjoy it. 🤙
I had a 1966 Buick Electra225, had the 401 4bbl nail head engine, turbo 400 transmission 4 door I loved that car but I had too many at the time, like 6 and my wife said so.ething had to go, unfortunately the Buick got the boot, the guy that bought it kept it about 6 years before he sold it.
nice, i had a 1965 225 back in the day.....
I swear you could land a light aircraft on that trunk lid 🛬
I’ve been in search of a 1967 Buick 225. Is the one you have available for sale?
Sadly the only thing really left of it is firewall forward. They had put another vehicle on top of it at some point
Loving the Buick! I had a 1972 Buick 225 4dr hardtop that I put hydraulics on. Miss that car.
Sounds like you had fun with the old girl
Looks like a good place for a Rattler be careful.
That supra and duece n quarter are my dream.cars
The junk yard car looks like a LaSabre. That comes with a 350
It doesn't look like a LeSabre, it IS a LeSabre. Count the Ventiports...
Clearly LeSabre.
@@badboattailRight leSabre had three electra's had four
That was a good time.
Yup it is a lot better between late fall early spring
The top of the line in 1970 Buick sedan was the Electra Ltd thats the one that only had
the 455.
According to my literature all Electras had the SF 455. There was no Limited in 1970.
Hey! What about that hearse??? Interested.
How is the frame on the car
The easiest way to tell if its a 455 or a 350 is that a 455 has 5 Valve cover bolts and a 350 has 6. You can spot it an instant.
Yep, and 3 Ventiports is a LeSabre (like the car in the video), the Electra had 4 Ventiports.
Love builds I want one bad
28:15 is where the entity attached to your camera.
I wish I could find me one I love bucks
What state is that herse in? Is it for sale?
Buick V6 would be good for a project
You were going to try and find the missing bright work. 🌞
455 has 5 bolt valve covers 350 has 6...
100% And the number of ribs on the Valve covers are different.
@@LunarOutlawsGarage Yes Sir
Was that cadillac 2 door or 4 door?
I need that Cadillac hood
The smile on your face in the intro says it all. Who cares what wrong with it for now.
What's the song at 14:00 ( Shazaam gave me :
Nỗi Nhớ Đóng Băng - Khang Luu , but can't really listen to it )
People love to talk about modern cars and how great they are. They even lie and say they're more comfortable. People under 40 believe the BS. It's sad.
I had a convertible Electra. It was like riding down the road on a couch. Just wonderful. Tons of room in the back. No one in those old cars had to worry about their knees hitting the seat in front of them.
Modern cars ride like they have steel casters. You can't run over a BB without feeling it. They corner with less roll? Who cares? Life isn't a slalom. That old Buick took the bumps for its occupants.
ABS, air bags, and crumple zones are important. No doubt about it. Other than that, modern cars are a huge step backward.
4 dr frt seat won't flip forward for rear passenger entry. 2 dr mods have longer frt fenders, hood and trunk lids. No bueno on glass interchangability...
You are right about the seats but front Clips are the same on all body styles. Surprisingly sometimes even trunk Lids interchange.
Why did you stop working on the Dodge truck??
Waiting on the custom wiring harness the goal is to make it as OEM looking as possible
The timing cover is also a dead giveaway to quickly denote the 455 from the 350.
Just count the valve cover bolts....
Mopar burnt orange is a sick colour check out graveyard cars they did a charger in it.
“Sick” went out of fashion two years ago.
Lol I still use the word dope lol
Why is the ignition not in the front..
Nevermind..I was thinking about mopars
Idk where you are located but i got a 455 engine thats been sitting for over a decade that id sell to you
Is that Bronco worth saving?
Your junkyard find is just a Le Sabre.
Yup for some reason I was thinking they had already gone to the 71 bumper for the LeSabre
I'm pretty sure my 72 350 had the distributor on the front of the motor
The engine in the LeSabre in the video also has the distributor on the front.
