    Just became a classic Buick owner this past weekend. I have had several of the turbo cars, but this is my first experience with the 455 Buicks. Chris Pollak helped me immensely finding a nice affordable clone, couldn't have done it without his leads and experience. Had to look at several duds before I came across this one near Dayton, Oh. Anyway, here it is.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Steve, outrageous car, that thing is stunning. You have just convinced me to go with gloss black on mine instead of flat black. So what do you think about the 455 torque?

    Yes, triple black. Believe it or not, the paint is almost 15 years old.

    Now that is a great looking car!
    I can attest to that since Steve got it from me.
    It really looks even better in person.
    Hope you are happy with it Steve and that it made
    it back to Michigan OK. That trailer was a bit tricky to
    get it loaded!
    History - It started out near Norwalk with a 350 in it.
    Did race at Norwalk by original creator Jeff Butts in 1995.
    Was a class winner so it is an old warrior. I bought it, sold it
    and bought it back from Mark Lob who put the 455 in it.
    So it's in Steve's care now, and from what I gather he wants to
    go faster yet! Good luck with it. It really is "fast with class".
