Plus you get a second x-code single 4-bbl motor...... Man....i wish i had the jack ! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Buic...ageNameZWD6VQQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p1638.m146 Hey Ted.... did you see this one :Brow: Peace WildBill
I was 1st bidder :Brow: The Old guy was talking about this up @ the MI chapter meeting we went to- too cool
If someone wants a REAL prototype engine, this is your chance! I looked at them with Denny Manner, and he confirmed that they are what Mike says If someone wants to build a VERY RARE car, this would be the engine that it should have. They really belong in a museum, but Sloan Museum is getting away from anything automotive , so Mike is selling them. I would like to see a museum purchase them. :Smarty: :Smarty: :TU:
Took some pictures of 2nd. prototype motor parts today gonna try to post them.Not sure how to yet ou: and I think I need to have 10 post which this will be 10th
It would be interesting having that under your hood, the attention it might get from curious minds. But I doubt many would even notice unless they were Buick guys. :eek2: I wonder if replacement main bearings are available that would fit that, they are 3".
I am trying to post pictures of strange single 4-barrel prototype intake that goes with 2X4 motor and pictures of some of the other parts but not sure how. Can someone help THANX my email is lizottelizotte@yahoo.com
I am currently the high bidder, way past the $3100 bid showing and the reserve hasnt been touched o No: Time for someone else to take it higher
Would it be cool to own, heck yes, practical, no. Ted or Topcat need this one for their museums, they like the 65s. My Wildcats are 63 and 64
Sold at 4K. I think that's good buy on one of kind Buick history. Congrats to the buyer, a true Buick man :beer
I was at the Buick Nationals this past summer in Seattle and this gentelman said he owned a Buick dealership,and bought his sons a yellow and white GSX's and said he had the "dual compound" 455 in his Riviera and said he got the engine from his brother in law who worked for Buick in Flint...He recalled spanking the GSX's when they raced...Claimed 500HP dual carbs and that only a few where made...Bet we could find him thru the BCA if somebody needed info on this motor....I quite often thought about this motor since the coversation and to see one now is awesome...Its real. John.
Wait a minute, there, old timer - Sloan is getting out of everything automotive? Is this a continuation of the changing of the guard when they let Jim Johnson go? o No: K
