One of my earliest memories is that my mother had a 1966 Buick Wildcat convertible. It was red with red interior and had a white top. I remember the speed alarm thing on the speedometer because I set it once by mistake and it went off with a buzzing sound and my Dad fussed about it asking who had messed with it, lol. It was a great car and was in lots of homecoming parades as mom was a high school teacher and all the kids loved her car. Great memories, mom likes sporty cars and that influenced my choice of first car long ago, my first was a 1976 Triumph TR6, and of course, it was red!!! Love your videos and adventures, keep em coming!!!
In the late 1980's through mid 90's I owned a 1977 442 like the blue one ya found. Mine was black with a white stripe and black interior with console shift and T Tops. I took the 350 olds out and put a 455 in it, it was quick but not super quick but it would haul ass on the highway and rode like a dream.
i had a 76' 442 white with red on the bottom and white leather interior w swivel buckets. I installed a 66' olds 425 Rocket into it and it was a fun ride. though i couldnt keep rear tires on it. Sold that back in 2009 and turned a really good profit rust and all. This blue one is prob worth a restore they're starting to bring in bigger money since Olds and Pontiac were dropped from GM. Nice Auto Ranch I might have to pay it a visit some day. thanks for sharing.
Man, that’s funny. Me and my buddy Jarrett are real big into cars. The only thing about Jarrett, he just doesn’t know when to shut up. I had a laugh when you said “Help me” because it so reminded me of Jarrett and I going through junkyards 😂. Also by the way awesome vid, keep doing what you do it’s awesome!
TRust me he only said help me because he is an asshole, who thinks he is greater then another car guy that was just trying to share his passion for cars!! So sorry someone went out of their way to be nice to the amazing junkbitch!
I'm told if the motor had a A.F. Carter carb, it was the 425. I know the GS models came with the 425's. I had a Wildcat with a 425 and the AFB Carter, and it was one fast car!!!
Hey junkyard digs I’m located in Connecticut in the USA and currently there is a 1965 Buick wildcat for sale only $500 American dollars it really isn’t horrible based on the four seasons we experience here.. it is a great parts car in case your interested I am not the seller but I figured I’d reach out to you as a supporter of your channel with the heads up..
A most impressive collection! I could spend days window-shopping there! XD Thanks for the extensive tour! Ha, you don't have to run faster than the guy telling stories, you just have to run faster than your friends! XD
I know there are 5 or 6 yards in oklahoma full of alot of fords with a good bit of broncos scattered around. During the late 70s the statewide dot had a shitload of fullsize broncos. Alot are in junkyards. Ya gotta go online, and look. Go look on google images fer broncos in junkyards in oklahoma.
Have you ever found any 1977 mercury cougars mine is a four door it was my grandpa's but sadly he passed away on the same day they were visiting of a heart attack. 😢😢😢
Yea it is big fun to make fun of some decent individual that just wants to share his passion with another car enthusiast!! If dissing this guy is funny to you,, then how about you and junkyard douchebag go pat each other on the back and tell each other how awesome the two of you are!!!
I remember my neighbor, (GOD rest his soul) had a 71 Wildcat, at one point I was between cars and needed a car, so he said drive the Wildcat, that was a FUN car to drive with all that power behind it. But turns out shortly after I started driving it, we needed to get new brakes, and a new muffler for her. The last I saw that car I think has to be some 25 years ago now. My neighbor had passed away, not sure what his son had done with it.
I had one of those for a parts car that was in perfect condition until I pulled the motor out of it and my old boss crushed all my cars after I quit before I could get the cars out of the storage area.
my first car was an old red '67 mustang w/manual trans & 6 cylinder engine, it was junk, i traded it out as fast as i could. then had a '64 el Camino till just recently when i sold it after my pop passed, i have another '64 el Camino now, sigh.
I'm looking for a 1979 Pontiac Phoenix LJ 2 door. Auto on the floor with the center console and bucket seats. I had one in high school and never thought i would want another or even cared about it. Now im looking to find and make a nice Hot Rod out of it. If anyone knows of one post please.
First car I ever rode in was a Buick Wildcat I came home from the hospital in it I remember my mother selling it for $100 when I was in elementary school
OH im sure a torture chamber?? Why because he was just a passionate car guy that wanted to share his car thoughts. What did this guy do that was so wrong that you and Junkyard assdig felt the need to blast the guy for. Feels good doesn't it? Jerk.
