Sweet car bro. The overall length of the 1958 Buick Limited was 227", so I am assuming that the Special was somewhat shorter. Hope that helps

How bout some info on the car in question...is it bagged? Cut coils??

the car is sitting on 85 cutlass suspension. no bags but that will be one of the first things i do to it:Brow:

The Roadmaster is 223 inches. I suspect the Special is just a tad shorter.

EDIT: Just saw Phil's response on length. Maybe I have my numbers wrong.
