Not a bad video, does anybody know the owner? Nice looking car, nut sure about the tach as a dealer option. Was the hood ornament available? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYdqS3b7yR4
Don't know about the tach, but standup hood ornament was an option. Don'cha just hate those Boatails Trevor ? :moonu: :beer :laugh: :TU:
...never said "DEALER OPTION", said aftermarket installed by first owner Neat car no doubt and good visibility for us TriShield freaks, but, they're billing it as a Buick Muscle Car and never romped on it :rant: I was waiting patiently for the 4-barrel ROAR
I had to rewatch it Alan, could've sworn that he said dealer installed but you were right, first owner. Yeah Randy, the Boattails never were my favorite. They Kept saying "4 seater" It's actually a 5. Does the 72 have the split down the backlight? I've never noticed.
To be honest, everytime I see one, I just think of sealing the underside and mounting a prop in the tail that sticks out past the normal trunk line....
They are really a nice car. I just love the lines on these things. Note to anyone reproducing stickers/decals: Did you notice the breather tag: Keep your GM car............. It was code BD.
It took nearly 2 hours for my dial up to download that video. The line that got me was what he said after they opened the hood......."that's 455 CUBIC INCHES, Buick finally started telling the truth about the displacement of their engines" and then made a reference to the Wildcat 445. (445 was the torque rating of the 401). I guess the fact the Buicks always had the highest torque back in those days and advertised it on the air cleaner wasn't worth mentioning, but criticism from his lack of understanding was. It's wisecracks like that that are the reason I no longer care to watch those TV shows. I was glad to see a Riv get some exposure for a change, but after hearing that remark let them stick to the Chevies and Fords. :af:
