A viewer from Australia recently bought this neglected 1941 Buick Special from an auction in Shippensburg, PA. Let's see what kind of shape it's in and if it'll run again after sitting since the 1980's.

  • I nice of you to help a man from a different country get his car running and driving.
  • @shabadoo24
    So many car guys wish their neighbors were like yours. He doesn't mind the noise at all.
  • Pulls giant stinky nest from glove box. Immediately says “Alright Nick, I’ll let you get to work!” 😂😂😂😂😂 Love it.
  • @HJP1
    Cars were truly a work of art back then!
  • @MikeOcampo-ql3mw
    I've seen a LOT of "will it run" videos, but I'm shocked how quick this was...and how smoothly it ran! Nice job.
  • @kb_ehh
    VIDEO IDEA as a ram owner I love your truck. Please please please do a video of a scuff and spray on that safety yellow box. It would look so deadly matching red. Be a good video to show people painting on a budget as well !!! Love the content. As always.

    I agree with someone that said saving it for Saturday morning. That is the only time I get to enjoy videos without any Interruptions
  • @jacobhosler1982
    The straight eight is a unique motor, and that's why I love them.❤

    Ok PB blaster also works as a great Roach repeller. I used to have to work in commercial kitchens . If they had roaches you spray a ring around you and they don’t cross it ,you can then work with out worrying about them getting into your tool box or clothing.

    Never fails to impress me somehow when an engine that's been sitting for decades fires right up with a bit of new fuel and a cleaning of the points. You love to see it.
  • @imasurfer4983
    Your 4 wheeler starter sounds like a dog barking. When you started it my dog was lying in the floor of our den and jumped up and started barking. 😂

    Got my NNKH beanie and hat Sunday! The gear is awesome and I will be rocking it! Thanks for the great channel.

    40:35 Hey Chris. I imported a car from the UK 3 yrs ago and yes it will need more cleaning, ESPECIALLY going to Australia. Mine was required to have a certificate of steam cleaning underneath to kill bugs etc. If he ships it in a container the following isn't an issue but if he uses Roll on Roll off, it will have to be driveable (so front seats fitted) and have a functional gas tank (no boat tank allowed) with no more than 1/4 full. Finally, if using RORO the car has to be empty. No spare parts in the trunk etc.

  • @markhall0670

  • @derpydog1008
    Man them Buick straight 8s are something else love hearing them old 8s singin thats definitely one of my top 3 favorite engines.
  • Watching you working on the 1941 Buick brings back memories when I had my 1940 Buick Century! This 1941 looks about 90% the same. Thanks for making me smile and bringing me back 20 years.
