The 2 dr sedan is a kinda rare car. If its in good condition try not to chop it up too much. I have a 40 Century convt. If you end up with the car check out the Buick Street rodder club, A lot of 40's in that club, running with 425 & 455's check out WWW.buickrods.org Jim Schilf palbuick
dual carb?? Hey Suncoupe 72, what are you gonna do with the dual carb set up when you drop in the new nh??? I want to get my greasy hand on that if you want to part with it! e-mail me at: hot_iron@earthlink.net
im getting a 39 and 40 buick 4 doors soon were not going to restore them perfectly. just enought to rol around in and use in our group. htey are sitting out in a field by me ________ Alaska dispensaries
I have a 40 Super convert that I have had for 32 years. It has been restored twice( the last time in 1988) and has taken my wife and I over 100,000 miles. The old straight 8 is just as reliable as a later engine, ubt it's tough to find parts for.
1940 Special??? I have almost 2 of them, both 4-door....i was also lucky enough to find Sidemount Fenders, and covers...thanks Joe T....for the find!!! I plan on street rodding mine with a Stage-1, motor, GN-tranny and rear axle, with Holly fuel injection.....Trans AM front subframe and wide whites....i cant wait!!!! PLEASE SEND MONEY!!!! :rant:
I am in the process of building the same care with the same engine-trans combination and would be glad to share what I've done and how I did it.
