Starting the Old Cold Forgotten Buick

Oh boy. At least seven attempts later...it finally started. It ran and drove pretty good for a free car. The spark plugs came from the white car (see my other videos). I'll need to get a battery and see if I can fix the power steering leak.

How much time was this car out of run, "sleeping in the street"?

[uxwbill]

@danielcarro100 It was out there for a while, though it did have valid registration during that time.

@orangejuice410404 That trick does not work with an automatic transmission.

@jmurray01 While there are still cars that have great acceleration, a smooth ride and lots of power...I wish there were modern cars that still had a boxy look to them instead of so many rounded curves and corners. To me, this is pretty close to what a car should look like.

you are now the replacement for davidsfarm

[baishengren]

Dude, I am totally envious of you. I'm in China teaching. I'm from England and I drive back home but now I'd kill for a free motor. Thanks for the vid great to watch. :)

Cant blame the car for the bad battery. Buick is one of the best cars you can ever get. My 92 park ave had 276000 and still ran like it was new never burned oil leak anything and always started. it had the 3800 to. Those are 400k mile engines. My nephew has a van with a 3800 and has 363000 miles and still runs great

I had a 1988 Buick Park Ave at one time. Only had 150,000 miles on it when I bought it, and it went over 300,000 miles without hardly a peep. Those engines were dynamite. Can't say as much for the electrical. But for $1600 (back in 2001), it was seriously the best car I've ever owned.
