On this episode of HOT ROD Unlimited, we raise a ’66 Buick from the dead. After spending 33 years sitting outside in the desert, the broken down Buick Special is revived by David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of HOT ROD and Rick Pewe of 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine. Rick’s mother bought the car when it was near new and parked it when the transmission failed in 1978. In 2011, the guys spent two and a half days wrenching on the car, with the hopes of driving it home from Phoenix to Los Angeles. Come along for the ride and see what happens!

that thing actually looks pretty good!
Excellent job! You guys should come fix my Cutlass!
there not allowed to respond n here, against there religion
All restorations look better with a blower!
This should have been a Roadkill episode.
Not sourcing a repro gas tank and a fresh rad and having them arrive before you got there was a fairly major pooch screw.
when did they change the trans?
Lol!
Corvette’s
i wanna work for GM so badly!
They re-placed them.
These guys are pros at building when it comes to broken cars.
and in other countries such great cars like this one get scraped.. what a shame..
If all forward gears were gone in the orig. tranny, how did you get it to move???
I had a blue 1967 Buick Special, hard top. But still this brinks back memories! We called it the Bu-Dog
Stop sign floor lmao
You should put the old wheel back
Where is the end video where the car is cleaned up to look new and final product as a hot rod? WTF!
I don’t have time right now to watch this so please tell me ahead of time:
#1 Do they have some phony baloney deadline?
#2 How many times do they run out of gas?
#3 How many times do they break down?
#4 Is there anything new?
Dude, that doesnt taste rite.
I thought that you guys said in the begining that there were no forward gears?
Anyway these are the type of videos that I like to watch, except it would have been better if you had actually had Pewe video what he had done with the Special before you guys arrived.
”looks ghetto without ‘em” LMAO
What type of fuel filter are you guys using, I can not seem to find that type of fuel filter.
Seeing this video I wish I had my dad’s 1963 Catalina coupe…
awesome
Funny as hell!
hahahahahahahaa
