With the 258 cubic inch [4.0] engine...?
 

Truth be told its half "Rusted" up here every winter the Salt & Calcium Chloride they spray on the Roads..

Its 15 years old over 100,00 miles now the "Kelly Blue Book" Trade In Value "Pristine Condition" like 3/5 Grand.

Mine aint "Pristine" Condition has some "Wear & Tear" showing.

Thats why Im keeping it until in "DIES" & its been all "Paid Off" too a decade ago now.

Got no Dash Computer Screens, gotta roll down the windows , & Shift The Gears by hand and a Cluctch but I got no "Car Payments" either.

Ya I drive a REAL "Classic"

I just sold my stick shift Jeep.  Made in 2007. Not a classic, just an old Jeep with almost 300K miles on it put on it by me. At least it had electric windows.

My 84yo neighbor's got a '54 pickup with an odd fire 225 Buick and a '68 CJ5 with (I believe) the same motor...they are keeping him   busy...  
 

Ya welp I got no Computer sceens on my dash.

"SIMPLE" stuff can still be fixed a "Chiltons/Haynes" Manual from Farm & Fleet and a Toolbox a Ratchet Set.

Try that today its all Computer and Dealership has the "Software' co$t ya a "Fortune".

But today people dont wanna shift gears or really Drive.

They wanna play with the phone or watch movies going down the Freeway.

Thats why a NEW CAR co$t more than my First House today too

The Transmission Alone.

Today they all Automatic or "CVT" they also Computer Sensor Cotrolled.

A "Replacement" today co$t ya 5/10 grand with the Shop "Labor" ..

A "Stick Shift" the transmission lasts "Forever" but about 80/100 miles gonna have replace the "Clutch" but thats simple and cheap compared to the entire transmission

The Buick 225 is a V6. 
There is a turbocharged version that makes 300 HP..!

From what I have heard, they are a popular engine to swap into Jeeps and the small Jap trucks..

Buick also had a small aluminum V8 that was a popular swap in small engine bays.....https://www.hemmings.com/stories/buick-215-cu-in-v-8/

There are still plenty of running examples of the 215 since they were used in Range Rovers.

Back in the day hadda Buick Regal a 3800 "V-6" like a 1992 .

Ya could burn the tires with that too I forget what horsepower that was different back then.

Still a sedan huge trunk on a V-6 
 

Furthermore when did a car become an "Info-Tainment" Center.

Im sorry ya should be watching the Freaking Road pal

DMV Road Test "Back In The Day".

A stick shift uphill & dont spill my coffee.

His '54 is a swap as it came with what we believe to be an I-4...the odd fire is definitely a weird engine at best...

the '68 is factory which ran until '71..

When I was a child my folks had this box fan in living room summer time.

The motor would get hot and I held crayons 2 it was intriguged by how the hot fan motor melted them and drip allover the carpet.

One day my Father came home and my Mom said look at this rug your boy melted crayons on the fan  

Oh wow he took his belt off that day gave me 10/12 swings I had giant welts couldnt sit down for a week.

After all that I never melted crayons in the living room on the box fan.

Later on I would get an electric train set for my birthday.

Then I found that if ya took the power suppy to tracks stripped the wires ya could chew out a pencil hook up the pencil lead to the wires and it would glow "Red Hot" also was a very old house blew out the breaker but ya just went down the basement reset the switch in the box.

Now that time my Dad didnt even take off his belt he just Punched me and started kicking me allover the floor until my Momma pleaded with him 2 stop says ya gonna "Kill" him 

I dont blame my Father for those "beatings" thats the way he was "raised" too my grandpa beat him half 2 death when was growing up he didnt really know any better because thats how he was raised.

Now that was different times too nontheless ya Dad gave ya a real "Beat-Down" ya generally did not do that again or atleast ya made sure cover your tracks enough ya wernt caught
