1939 Buick Special Resto-Mod

One look at this car and I was impressed. She is absolutely stunning! The body lines on this classic seem to just flow and are beautifully highlighted by the factory-correct English Green paint and plentiful polished chrome brightwork. Walking around her, I was impressed as I found the fit and finish to be superb, and found solid metal and evenly applied paint everywhere I looked.  I noticed the wheels were from an earlier model but fit this classic so well, they just looked right along with the wide-whitewall radial tires. This is a show-stopping car by any measure!

Opening the hood, I was shocked and then delighted to find a small block 350 V-8 tucked neatly away in the engine compartment. Further investigation uncovered even more treats; which include Vintage A/C, power steering, 12-volt electrics, HEI distributor, electric fuel pump, electric auxiliary engine fans, and special engine-bay lighting for car shows. Looking under the car, I noticed even more; so much more I needed to get her on a lift to see all the fine details.

The underside is clean and solid with the original frame intact. From underneath, you can see a modern turbo 350 automatic transmission was tastefully added providing reliability and properly handling the engine's power, pushing it to the Nova 3.73 rear end. The rear suspension is largely stock with the addition of modern shock absorbers. Towards the front, I discovered the transmission cooler with electric fan alongside the power brake and master cylinder mechanism - all professionally mounted under the driver's seat. Under the front suspension, you notice it is not stock yet everywhere appears as if it could have come from the factory just that way. Upon further investigation, I discovered the front suspension and brakes framework are from a '70 Nova, and were expertly joined with the factory Buick frame. Looking at the details, you know this car was built right!

Back up top, I get my first look at this four-door's family-sized interior. Yes, this is a classic you could take the whole family in and still be speaking when you arrive at your destination. If I didn't know any better, I would assume the interior is stock original. The colors are matched perfectly to complement the exterior, the materials are period appropriate, and the seat frames are stock. The tasteful additions of front power windows, Vintage A/C controls, aftermarket polished gauge cluster, tilt steering column, and a LeCarrera steering wheel all fit this car's character nicely but aren't factory-original. Getting back out of the car, I checked the trunk which was finished nicely with the same show lights as the engine bay. Inside out, top to bottom this car is impressive. I couldn't find anything I would add, change, or delete. This is the way I would do a resto-mod!

Needless to say, once I saw her I knew this was a car I would be proud to represent and honored to help find her a new home. So, if you have been looking for one of the finest resto-mods on the planet you have come across your car! Act now, before she is added to someone else's collection!
