Owner Comments:

This beautifully restored Buick has undergone a full frame-up rotisserie restoration and is powered by its original Buick 455 V8, paired with a rebuilt TH400 transmission. The rear axle has also been rebuilt and upgraded with Positraction. The car has been extensively upgraded for both performance and drivability, including EFI, a serpentine belt system, front and rear disc brakes, new control arms, a rear sway bar, and a Ridetech digital air ride system with bagged coilovers and digital height sensors. Finished in a custom two-tone metallic paint, the exterior features shaved rear skirts, removed rocker trim, powder-coated moldings, custom wheels and tires, LED lighting, tinted glass, and the original bumpers and grille. The underside and wheel wells have been coated with 3M Body Schutz. Inside, the original seats have been professionally redone in custom black and red leather, complemented by matching door and kick panels, a leather-wrapped dash, custom headliner, carpeted trunk, and floor insulation. Modern features include power windows and locks, navigation, a multi-speaker stereo with two subwoofers, Dakota Digital gauges, and a power driver’s rearview mirror. Additional upgrades include all-new glass and seals, polyurethane bushings, ball joints, bearings, wheel seals, stainless-steel brake lines, aluminum fuel lines, a new radiator, factory air conditioning, and an Optima battery. The car is accompanied by its original sales paperwork and is being offered by its 3rd owner.
