Gonna miss this car - Talked to Tom a lot while it was being built and watched it run at last year's PSMCDR. It is every bit as quick as my GS455 and really represented some innovative thinking....

Making that statement until someone presents one that is quicker.
Car has been 13.01 on G70-14 redlines, and 12.89 on a small pair of slicks.

Manual steering, manual brakes, radio delete, heater delete
Buick 350, TH350 auto, 4.10 posiraction
14x6 Buick rally wheels with Firestone G70-14 redline tires

Car was purpose built to run in Pure Stock Drags/ Factory Stock Drags

Engine is .030 over with flat top Diamond racing pistons, engine was mildly decked to true and square surface to crankshaft, heads were milled for flatness, good valve job, new springs.
Mild TA cam, TA high performance hard grooved cam bearings
stock polished crank
engine balanced
All cast iron equipped with exhaust manifolds and iron intake
Qjet carb built and restored by Ken at everyday performance, best Qjet I've ever had
Th350 professionally rebuilt by a friend of mine with high performance clutches, shift kit, tight converter.
1971 8.5" 10 bolt rear with new 4.10 gears and Eaton positraction unit
Boxed control arms with greaseable urethane bushings, sway bar, air bag
front suspension stock 14,000 mile stuff greased, set up to move freely
Car works really good. 60 ft times are typically low to mid 1.80's, best is 1.79
Car is just over 3500lbs with a 180lbs driver and 3/4 tank of fuel
TA performance mandrel bent 2 1/2" exhaust with Walker Ultra Flow mufflers H pipe

Have every piece of original paperwork for this car, including sales agreement, cancelled checks for down payment, Protect-o-plate, warranty stuff, small envelope with 2 new keys and knockouts,etc. Everything has dealer stock number penciled in, stock number still in grease pencil in driver door jamb.

Car was bought new by a older couple at retirement age. It truly is the little old lady car that was pleasure driven on weekends, to church, and grocery store. Was only driven in nice weather, was only in rain a couple times. Car spent it's life in a heated attached garage where the old man had a woodworking shop.
This car is as clean or cleaner than any Arizona or California car out there, a true time capsule.
I'm sure it's the nicest of it's kind in existence, as well as the quickest.

If you are looking for a unique, quick, one of a kind turn-key car, this is it. Super simple, very nice, and very fun to drive. This car pulls harder than most 455's out there in similar trim.
Very easy to drive, great car to train a young driver in. Point and shoot. goes straight, and it's very consistent.
