Hi; I just want to say hello to all of you. I am a new member here but not to cars. I have built a few cars over the years but not for a while. I will be rebuilding a car I have had for 26 years, a 1957 buick special conv. It will get a new drive train, bodywork, interior etc. I plan on using a 425 nailhead with a turbo400 and an open rear. Any suggestions are welcome. I will share all information as we go on this project and will have plenty of questions too. Thanks, John
I'm a muscle car fan but I have a huge soft spot for hot rods and '50s cars...really nice to see someone taking care of the older Buicks- there's all too few of you guys driving the really old iron. Nice car!:TU:
What is the current engine. Someone on te Board was trying to find one about the vintage of the one that came in your car --322 or 364?
57 Engine The original engine was a 364 with a horsepower rating of 250. The current engine in mine is a 1958 engine also 364 ci. but rated at 300 horses.
Hey John, Welcome! Wow another Jersey guy with a 57, cool. Let me be the first to invite you this Sat. to the Spring Buick Picnic in Holmdel Park. Doesn't matter if you attend in a Buick just as long as you love 'em. Hope to see you there:beer
