Did my part, good luck man! Back in the early 90’s I bought a 1980 Buick Century LTD for $175 just for the low mileage 231 V6 & trans to put in a 46 Jeep. Got it running with a $10 fuel pump and started driving it as a daily for a while. To this day it was the most comfortable vehicle I’ve ever owned so this brought back memories!
EAgles are kicking butt, so....... I love this Roadmaster. The engine is so from my youth. The fit, the visibility, feel, all the extras I grew up with (Dad had bucks.) Even the (for its time) gawdy red is so imperial....... This one deserves to be saved and savored. The money will be raised.
Great video of your buick roadmaster 😍 i have a 1994 buick roadmaster it was my uncle he is the original owner 😍 i have to do some work on the car but im happy i have it 😀
@@betweenthesharksgarage ....i watched it while logged in, then again while logged out on another browser and then on my phone = 3 views for ya - yes, it really worked, saw the view counter go up every time.
LETS GOOOOO!!!! I may be a Mopar guy, but I wouldn't kick that to the curb if it was in my driveway! YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE!! For the next week, I'm good for a few views a day. Another thought, being full frame, you could set it up for towing.......
I've played through three times now 😊 only because I'm watching on Christmas day and fell asleep the first two times 😅 . I hope you are able to get the old girl, low mileage and apart from the cricket bat dent, it's a pretty straight looking car also try finding another one in similar condition. Now living across the pond I know more about nuclear physics than reliability of a Buick but the old girl has last this long and from what I've seen, looks keen to go even longer. Merry Christmas young man and even better new year. Gary 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Lol. Understandable. This Buick is built for the last generation of insanely reliable and easy to work on Chevrolet engines and transmissions. Should work like rocks and gravity for absorber 100k miles
I have a 96 Roadmaster sedan and absolutely love it. But I just did the water pump, opti spark and all the front seals. And they were an absolute pain in the but to do! So I completely understand where you are coming from with preferring the normal tbi motor.
thats interesting to hear... i know that those motors run circles around the tbi versions but for me, this car can do everything i want it to and i could change the water pump on the side of the road in in the dark. I drive my classic cars daily but have never done a burnout in my life... never had the spare money to break stuff by horsing around lol
Paused @15:00 just as you sir put on the phantom surgical glove as you prepared to do "The Inspection" and I already was finding you to keep my interest. This video popped up for my consideration tonight as sleep evades me (it's 0400 HRS) my sinus cavity is competing with my molar cavity and this is just the distraction the doctor ordered. I'll definitely watch all the way through... Back to Mr. Goodwrench as I click on, Play that Funky White Boy Video...
sounds like an uncomfortable night, i got your back hope you found it distracting if not entertaining....thanks for checking it out -mr goodwernch aka funky white boy
These are the cars you always see mechanics driving.... because of all the reasons you said. Parts are available, you can work on the them, and can be found with low miles.
It seems like my parents and everyone's parents had a big car with a V8 in it back then. As you climbing through it I can still smell the smells of those cars. That one seems in crazy good shape. Id expect the interior to be trashed and every panel to be severely dinged.
Love Buicks; my current daily driver is a 1994 Regal Custom Coupe survivor Calif car zero rust 131K 3800; only issue is its obd 1 and hard to find parts but great car, cheap to own.
Now, if you had a Honda behind you, I would never have clicked on this … but … with a cool ole Buick like that? Go gettem’ Tiger! For what it’s worth … In my state, the interstate highway speed limit went from 55 to 65 in 1987. By 1993, it was up to 70 mph.
Okay Mr. Goodwrech (IDK yur name as of yet...1st ever viewing anything from BSG) I'm splitting this big screen and playing this a second time on mute whilst I use the other screen to peruse your channel for more of BSG Productions Good Times DY-NO-MITE!... This was a difficult year 1993 for this now 67 year old was dealing with no less than what each generation before and then since has had to deal with... In my case too much Trauma from a war on the immune system of many, way too many peeps I loved. I drove back home from Long Beach CA to the Greater (then) Bay Area in a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Barritz Brougham towing a similar vintage Lo-Liner 13 foot trailer produced by Aristocrat Industries. That recreational trailer full of my life's worldy goods became my temporary home until I finally had solid re-employment in EES.EEF's bloated tour industry as a tour coach operator and guide... The same year my father much too young died... Blessings to you whom has read this far and lettuce all put som effort into a fine and wonderous New Year not forgetting our Mr. Goodwrech here as I say he's going places in this genre, even if it takes a few days to get there... I definitely Like this and yes, I'm a new subber to BSG
thanks a lot man, that sounds like a very rough year but i am glad you made it through... i have only done that drive once, in the 1973 van featured in the channel, i bought it sight unseen in long beach and drove it up the pch to san Francisco before spending the month in it working my way back across the country. not as comfortable as the eldorodo and trailer but my circumstances were not as rough either thanks for the support on the channel, I have been workin hard at it so its great to hear people are entertained
its funny, i remember thinking these looked like bloated ticks when they came out, i far preferred the more angular boxy caprices and such as a kid, these looked plastic.... but everything is relative lol...this car just jumps out against the modern automobile and has so much more in common with a classic Buick than a modern one
I saw you pour green coolant in the reservoir, but I think GM started using DEX coolant in the 90-ies? Hope you checked if this engine needs DEX or regular.
im gettin ready to buy my first car. what do you think of a 98-05 park ave ultra (supercharged)? i want a big old luxury car that will last me forever like a 3800 buick
First of all congrats. I know hoovie loves his but there is nothing about a super charger that feels like a forever car. I have had great luck with Chevy cars and trucks. If you want a big boat I would look at early 90s chevies or fords ang get something with a basic v8. The 350 Chevy and the 289 ford small blocks are great parts are available and it’s easy to get info onthem. That’s just my two cents.
@@betweenthesharksgarage thanks for the advice. i looked into the fleetwoods and roadmasters, but i havent been able to find any in my area for a reasonable price. also looked at the caprice but those somehow are more expensive than some roadmasters and fleetwoods. most panther platforms ive seen are either not running, are in rough shape, or have 200k+ miles. i also looked at the deville, and while cheaper than fleetwoods, they are still pretty expensive. im kind of leaning toward a regular park ave (not ultra). i can easily find those for under $3k with 100-150k miles. do you think the naturally aspirated 3.8 is a good option? not too worried abt speed, just looking for something comfortable and reliable.
Man I wish I could help. But I genuinely know nothing about the 3.8. It might be great. I have a bias towards what I know If you dig those Buicks then snap one up you are gonna learn a lot about whatever you pick.
I paid $1500 for my 99 Buick Lesabre with 70k miles on it. Not as fun as your Roadmaster but just as clean. I’ve put about 50k miles on it and It’s been a great ride so far.
Those old GM full size cars were great. I hope your plan completely works. Maybe a local Nissan truck fan can help you out financing the purchase. hint, hint
lol it was a modest hope, but we are a looooong way from the goal its hard to make a buck on youtube as a small channel.... that said this is still fun the support and participation had been a blast, and its not a complaint about youtube...they let me make my own waynes world show basically
@@betweenthesharksgarage We have car diagnostic tool like car obd2 scanner, battery tester, circuit tester, Can we send stuff to you to test for review?
Literally a month ago , same car , same color was for sale near me. 91,000 miles. Better shape but the other distributor configuration. All receipts since new. Being sold by an older Chevy technician always garaged. 5K. I looked at it and drove it but did not buy it.
i think a lot of people would think thats a killer deal, the lt1 engine is a powerhouse... and not unreliable, but i want the one i can fix in my sleep or swap out in an afternoon and to me that is the classic 350 smallblock... i have a little time to decide on this one ... but man is it cool
@betweenthesharksgarage yea, I just remember them the most from when I was a kid and seeing one here n there drive by and how menacing it looked. Now I never see them.

its a long shot lol but thanks. that sounds like a cool project, i know nothing about the 231...now i have to look that up
Heck yeah man! Happy to support the cause!
thanks man, the whole endeavor is a little silly... but the support and positivity is really cool, this channel has a great community
Such an underdog car!! One of the most comfortable highway cars out there. One time I accidentally bought one from CoPart for $175.
Accidents happen!!
thats funny
Love it. We had a '68 Skylark 4 door with bench seats, 350, 2 barrel.
The rear driver side interior light is on, that’s probably why the battery was completely dead
That’s a good point i movies that in the edit
Only thing better than that car would be if it was a wagon. Very good find, pay up TH-cam!!!
the wagon would be cool, but this thing just kinda fell into my lap
Good luck man! Let’s all help out. 🎉

Great video of your buick roadmaster 😍 i have a 1994 buick roadmaster it was my uncle he is the original owner 😍 i have to do some work on the car but im happy i have it 😀
Sounds like you got a good one. I'm sure she'll get you where you need to go!
What I remember about those old Buick boats is that you would turn the steering wheel and then a minute later, the car would actually turn. :)
it just takes that long for the driver seat to make it around the turn
Hug from Brazil !
hug back from the usa
playing while in the background while I work brother, we got you
thanks for the support dude!
I pledge to watch It 90000 times.
The spirit! I ll pick you up on the road trip... and bring chips
Definitely a Nice ride Good video
just bought a 92 with 72000 miles. paid more than 3k for it! thanks for showing me where the gas cap is!
Lol happy to help
Great Buick. Hope you get your views. Id be all over it.
It’s awesome… don’t think my little scam will work. But we will see

thanks dude lol! its nuts they had a tow package option... and it was like 5000 pounds!
Can’t wait to see this restored

Subscribed for the Buick
thanks man i am working on keeping it on the channel as we speak
@betweenthesharksgarage Awesome 👍
i rode in one of these as a teenager and ive been chasing that feeling ever since
they are pretty great
Good luck man, hope you get the car!
This channel is awesome and I'd love to see it grow (but not too much like some... other ones). Let's get this done!
Thanks dude I am working real hard at it
Pay up youtube! Good video. Didn't even skip 10 seconds
Thanks man! It would be insane if it works
Dude , push the rubber bellows back into the brake fluid reservoir lid before putting it back on after filling the reservoir.
i didnt spill any... well not much...
This comment doesn't really have to do with the car. But I would love to see the remodeling of the house that's what I have done most of my life
Watching on Christmas Day, working in your Christmas miracle. Liked, subscribed, and commented.
Thank you and merry Christmas
Watching on phone and TV. Looks like today is a Bing Watch day for this channel
thanks man
First vehicle I did over 100 in was my grandmothers roadmaster. She sailed so smooth!
I believe every word of it
I Love this car bough and sold few of these, many mechanical and few body parts are the same as chevy caprice ,good luck
These are the cars you always see mechanics driving.... because of all the reasons you said. Parts are available, you can work on the them, and can be found with low miles.
that all makes sense to me... plus its rad and nostalgic

It was for sure cared for
Cool ride!! Wow, the hood struts work!!
Those are a real lifesaver, almost more important than the engine!
Love Buicks; my current daily driver is a 1994 Regal Custom Coupe survivor Calif car zero rust 131K 3800; only issue is its obd 1 and hard to find parts but great car, cheap to own.
I think that classic small block Chevy is what has me so drawn to it. Those parts are so easy to find a hardly have to leave my garage.
Love the Roadmasters, especially late 50s. Hope you get this one.
man...the first old car i ever bought was a 58 roadmaster 4 door hardtop... had cash, had plans... the guy then told me it got stolen
Now, if you had a Honda behind you, I would never have clicked on this … but … with a cool ole Buick like that? Go gettem’ Tiger!
For what it’s worth … In my state, the interstate highway speed limit went from 55 to 65 in 1987. By 1993, it was up to 70 mph.
texas? montana? i know states could ignore the federal limit but they would lose federal highway funds until the national limit was lifted in 1995
Towed a Four Wynns open bow runabout decades ago with a 1993 Roadmaster Estate Wagon.
i dont doubt it for a second

Watch 1 done! Will set it off at work tomorrow too 😊
Lol thanks man!
So cool. I hope you get it Ryan.

Literally a month ago , same car , same color was for sale near me. 91,000 miles. Better shape but the other distributor configuration. All receipts since new.
Being sold by an older Chevy technician always garaged.
5K. I looked at it and drove it but did not buy it.
i think a lot of people would think thats a killer deal, the lt1 engine is a powerhouse... and not unreliable, but i want the one i can fix in my sleep or swap out in an afternoon and to me that is the classic 350 smallblock... i have a little time to decide on this one ... but man is it cool
Love it!
Thanks!!
Love the channel and big gm rwd cars 🚗👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
I'd like to have a car like this one. Good luck! I'm doing my part to get you the care.
thanks man, either way it was a fun video to make
Excellent video
thanks man
Put 20im wheels on it, hood pins to fix the trunk latch and throw a bag of pot in the car for the scent. For sale sign and they will come

Thanks dude!
Good luck I enjoyed the video
thanks man, glad to hear I wanted the video to be fun
Cool ride man

@betweenthesharksgarage we shall see maybe I will run it a few times when I'm otherwise busy
For the algorithm. Come on TH-cam!
Thanks man
Awesome car. Last of the true cars
sadly it seems like it
I wish I had that car I'd drive it every day
thats what it would be great for
I was born on the wrong continent, we dont have awesomeness like this i Denmark - hope YT will pay for this cool car .
Thanks man… but you do have efficient public transport and delicious food so not a total loss
Buy it! Life is too short to not daily a Buick Sofamaster
Wise words sir
Need an impala ss in my life at some point, just one of the few Chevys I'd love to own.
They are cool and you don’t see them much
@betweenthesharksgarage yea, I just remember them the most from when I was a kid and seeing one here n there drive by and how menacing it looked. Now I never see them.
Go for it
Cool boat
it is, don't makem like this anymore
I want one of those
Their so cool
thanks man
Love the old buick roadmasters
such a solid history all the way back
