  • Part 1 of 5: A guy got low on Buicks, and just flat out panicked. So, I did the right thing and bought another buick, this one a 1963 Buick Lesabre, sight unseen. Of course, I'll attempt to fire it up, and just drive it home the 100 miles.

      Back in 1968 when I first started driving, a buddy had a (I believe) '65 Sky Lark with that V6. Man I wanted one of those. Ended up getting a Buick many years later '74 Le Sabre. Drove it from Wisconsin to Reno NV with a BAD tie rod end. It shook so bad I could hardly hold the wheel. But quit if I accelerated. So I slowly accelerated to about 90 then hit the brakes and hauled her down to about 40 and started the process over again. Drove like that (white knuckled) for 2,000 miles.

    My grandparents are from Germany.
    My grandfather was a engineer at Opel and my grandmother's family own a couple of Opel dealerships.
    To celebrate their 50th anniversary they decided to tour the United States by car.
    They purchased a nearly identical version of this car.
    The funny thing is they intended to purchase a Kadett!
    They drove all over the United States and put 40k miles on their Buick in six months.
    When the returned to Germany the gifted it to my parents who drove it only on long trips and important occasions.
    Believe me it was wonderful floating down the highway in air conditioned silence instead of the buzzy sweaty Opel sedan or wagon my parents drove everyday.
    They kept up until 1996 when it was rear ended at a stoplight.

    Watching this video brought back so many memories. My grandfather had this same car in silver and every summer I would drive with him out to Long Island from NYC. On the speedometer that little arm was a speed alert that you could set at any speed. My grandfather set it on 80 and I will always remember the constant ahhhhhhhhhhh blaring along the way. Grandpa was a leadfoot! When I got older I would tune it up and I still have the timing light, dwell meter and special Allen key tool used to adjust the points. That Wildcat engine was amazing.

    Derek, as one of those young adult fellers you’re trying to preach to, I want to say thanks a lot for getting me into cars older than the 80s. I’ve always loved cars but never took the time to appreciate these 50s-70s American classics, but I hope to get one as soon as I’m able thanks to the fun and informative way you deliver info about these cars.
    Keep doing what you do man. It’s working.

    Hi Derrick,
    Stumbled across your channel while looking for videos on 1963 Buick Le Sabre as my 22 year old son purchase a 2 door post car here in New Zealand a few months ago. The car was imported here from California back in 2015, so we look for videos to watch about these cars.
    Thanks for your efforts in making these videos it really Is informative and fun to watch. My 20 year old son is a 3rd year apprentice mechanic and the shop he works at does a lot classic car work as well so we all enjoy watching your content.
    Cheers Rick

But with content like this how can it not...Far and away my favourite youtuber.... keep up the good work... and also just wondering why you couldn’t just change the head of the old starter and use the new bendix and armature?? Are they not compatible... i’ve done it many times on the late 70s and 80s models

    "Stored inside". That looks like it is the case with this one. Most of the ones I go look at these days I wind up asking the seller, "Stored inside of what, a salt mine or a vat of acid, er what? If I touch it will my hand fall off?"
    Never goes well after that.

I'm 56 now and live in Scotland. That car is one of my earliest memories. Your videos do more than entertain. Keep going man. Priceless.

    This is an EXCELLENT video to peruse. Whether you are familiar or not with this channel, this is a good place to start. Derek has his channel signature hat on and he is in a teaching mood and this man has significant knowledge regarding what has become known as "barn finds". What with his own language for entertaining you can learn a thing or two about our mechanical friends, these auto mobiles. Regarding the contacts or points, I am of 66 years experience and I have never heard a mechanic refer to contacts, not even the old when I was young ever used that term in my geography. Normally home mechanics used "feeler gauges" to "set" them rather than a dwell meter. Only GM had the window in the distributor to correctly set dwell while the motor was running. this Buick had a single master cylinder for brakes and a single fuel line from the tank. Those improvements were added into GM production around 67 or 1968. The first pollution device was added in 1963 model year and was called the PCV valve and that was slang for pollution control valve of course. Just a simple one-way valve to attach a vacuum line to the upper crankcase that supposedly increased fuel mileage.
