Bought my dad's old '67 Buick Funny Car "Ingenue"...

Love that toggle switch mounted in the center of a Buick emblem on the steering column support. Only a Buick freak would do something like that!:TU:

 

I am thrilled that you were able to re-unite your father with this very unique car. We had looked at this car when it was in Holland, Michigan before it was restored. I would be happy to share the pictures of what the car looked like 8 or 9 years ago if you would like to see them.

 

Please! Do share! I'm sure everyone following this thread would love to see more pics.

 

I 2nd that! More pics!


Congrats on getting the car home!

 

That car is awesome. I just went from 6 o'clock to midnight :laugh:

 

Ok, here are more pictures of the car when it was in Holland, Enjoy!

 

Awesome. Thanks for sharing those.

 

Cool pictures,thanks for posting those.Sure wish I could have bought it then!

I'm in Barbados at the moment on a cruise so to all those who have PM'd me,I will return those when I get back.

I'll have a full wknd to spend with it before I go back to work so look forward to more pics then.:TU:

Enjoy your cruise. :TU:

 

Thanks...in St Lucia today,very lush & beautiful...but I miss my funny car,lol.:TU:

 

on a cruise, 67 GS funny car waiting at home......sucks to be you John! All I've got in the garage right now is 3 British Motorcycles and a rusty 73 Electra....still cool stuff though

 

My wife hasn't figured that out yet:laugh: Last "vacation" was trailering out to BPG for the last event in Salem. I haven't bought/sold any cars the last 2 years so there hasn't been any "vacations" for that either...

 

Heading home...

Well,after snorkling with the stingrays in Antigua yesterday,we're at sea for the next 2 days then back in FL on friday.

Weather has been awesome,really a nice relaxing trip.

Expect more pice this wknd of Ingenue...weather permitting.

 

Re: Heading home...

What's the origin of the name and why was it used ?

 

Re: Heading home...

Very good question! I was wondering that myself.

Almost true.

The owner of Mid-County Buick was married to a french canadian named Suzette and she was one hot-tempered woman,I think she accidently shot him once...it was her that coined that name.

I took a few pictures yesterday before the rains came but tuckered out and fell asleep before I could post them...will hopefully get them up tonight for you guys.
