  • People love it when we rescue old cars from the junkyard. We'll see what happens when they see this episode of Roadkill presented by Dodge, during which we literally hack a '56 Buick Century out of a thorn bush it’s been sitting in for 25 years, then continue slashing as we attempt to mount the body on a '73 Corvette chassis. Oh yeah, we hacked up that car, too. Watch for more Sawzalls, weed whacking, and plasma cutting per minute than any other episode of Roadkill.

    I only watched half of this video before I had to leave a comment. I know this is a comical video creation for you but as soon as I saw the images of this post many emotions came back to me from my earlier life. I was born in 1956 and when I needed to get a ride for work at the age of 16, I was not making a lot of money. My mom worked donating her time at her church. She told the story of me and not having money but needing a car desperately. Another volunteer told the story of her son who is always fixing up old cars. I don't remember his last name but his first name was Ron. I do remember that he won many awards for every one of his cars that he fixed up for competition in National Auto shows. The mother demanded that her son sell to me one of his cars that he had not yet fixed up. Like me, we both lived at home and you listened to your mom. When I went over to their house and saw the beast up to its floor boards in mud in the backyard I didn't fall immediately in love with my first car but soon later I did after I pulled it out and started to fix it up. I guess you never forget your first love. You gentlemen have a four holer. I had a three holer. I had a 1956 Buick Special. It had 36,000 original miles and was an Arizona car if I remember correctly and it had every option available. The trunk was the size of a small car and in it was the original white wall tire. After getting the car home I found the engine to be in great shape. The body on this thing needed some work because the fenders although intact weren't attached to the mechanical connections to the frame. This would make the front fenders flap as I went down the highway. The motor was very powerful though and I found out later that there were guys that actually fixed these up for racing even though the cars were very heavy. During that time of my life I was in a drum and bugle Corps and we had to go to practices each week hauling friends and fellow members to a location along with our musical equipment. It was perfect for this application. The car was really a fun clown mobile for all of the people that I hauled around at the time. One of my friends gave it a name. The name was Ali-ut-ut. It had a mole hair ceiling, the floor had a number of push button switches that I thought were really cool. One was for the bright headlights. One was to operate the windshield wipers for just a single wipe. One of them was for the starter after you turned key to the on position much like some of the expensive luxury cars of today. My favorite foot pedal switch was to change the radio station to the next most powerful radio station that the a.m. radio could scan and tune to. Once you got familiar with their location you could operate any of these switches without ever looking for them on the floor. There was an incredible amount of room in the car and I believe that the most people I carried from one place to another was 14 people. Well my dad didn't like the car. He arranged to get a another $100 car for me. Really that's all I paid for my 1956 Buick Special was $100. Without telling me one day he got a hold of the title and had signed it off and had Ut-Ut (her short name) towed from our property when I was at school. I was in the process of starting to secure the fenders and sand down and primer the paint job which was an original Green flavor. I had removed the rear insignia for the trunk lid. To this day I still have it hanging in my garage. I guess I hoped someday I would become wealthy enough and had the time and energy to go searching all of the Auto graveyards and find it and breathe new life into that beautiful old girl that I still love to this day. That's why this video is so important to me. If I'm not mistaken the first car Jay Leno fell in love with was a 56 Buick also. But I think his is a four holer too. Anyway thank you for the great videos. You guys are doing a wonderful job bringing back memories for all of us to love again. keep up the great work.

      I agree to an extent, but not everything works despite good intentions going in. I do video production but perception vs. reality often rears its ugly head. That's part of the appeal of RK for me, much more winners, often BIG WINNERS than not, like Stubby Bob's Comeback, brilliant stuff, toe-til-eeh memorable. Give the boys a break a with your personal "forgiveness factor" and let's get on with it.

      Low compression under powered smog motors, nightmare engine bay to deal with, soft and floaty suspension, super small and cramped interior made with cheap materials that didn't hold up well, etc, etc...
      I don't hate on them, but they are a long way from Corvette's finest hour and represent pretty much everything bad about the 1970s in American cars.

    • @RDG.357
      @RDG.357 Před 7 lety +22

      Called "VentiPorts" ... On earlier models, the engineers claimed (& advertised) that they helped with ventilation of the engine compartment, but in later models they were plugged & just there for styling. They were a "shout out" to the plane engines GM supplied & companies they owned that built other planes & engines for the war effort.
      Buick started using the VentiPorts to denote engine size ~ the more ports, the bigger the engine ~ until the V-style engines came about. then it worked it's way around to denote body size & then just what looked good on that particular model.
      The original designers of the VentiPorts intended for there to be lights behind the ports that were synced with separate spark plugs, so that it looked like the exhaust from the warplanes. But once put into production, the lights never made it.

    • @OdySlim

But the voice sync is way off with this video, they tried fixing it by chopping milliseconds throughout the video but nah, they really could have done better. Restarted the app 5 times thinking the problem was with me. The content was mostly fillers no real roadkill going on. Hey motor trend, if you are reading this, please fix these issues with the video and the content. And the part where Freiburger 'left for the meeting with dodge' didnt sell me. This episode was hopeless, cramming fillers into a 10 minutes worth of content video is just not good enough. But hey, lets just let this one slip through :DD

      Guys like Sammy are just as bad as the scrap yard as the cars will never see the open road again and will never run again, this Buick is a prime example as Mike and David both admitted that they gave up on this project because the car was too far gone with the rust
      It's a different story if guys who buy a lot of old cars turn around and sell them to people who are looking for projects but not if they're keeping them to let them rust away and then want to high ball people because they "knows what I gots"
