Price: US $21,400.00
Not Your Grandfathers Buick anymore, this is a tubbed car with Mickey Thompson tires, narrowed 9 inch third member, mounted by coils and bars(trailing bars). ...rides like a marshmellow in a cloud.The engine and transmission are from a 97 Camaro SS donor car, LTI engine and 6 speed manual transmission. the electronics and harness are from the same car, as is the dash panel which is craftily recessed into the Buick dash and disguised with the Buick speaker cover.
For the custom body, an Olds bumper was modified to give the wide-mouth opening in the grill... a corvette grill with extra teeth and two running lights complete the picture. .hood was smoothed and vents contoured into the sides. Tail lights from a 59 caddy are molded into the rear of the fenders, and a smooth pan fills in the back of the car. ..we have the side chrome if you want it for extra price, but the bottom pieces are missing the waterfall effect.
Rear seat is a wrapper from BMW, front buckets from a Pontiac
we need a 500.00 dollar non-refundable down payment in 24 hrs and balance by cash, cashier check or wire transfer in 7 days of the close, shipping is cost of buyer we will help load, car runs and brakes work
we are in the process of painting the dash and installing power windows, and door panels, which are done but need to be installed, I will add pictures when they are done
