Hello Guys, I have an original 1932 Buick 4 door series 50 complete that runs and I don't want to trash it cause there is a purist out there that would like to restore it. So I'm looking for a 1932 Buick street rod completed ready to drive. Must have a Buick motor and be a dependable daily driver. Feel free to call my cell, Curtis 432-967-2582 or email me curtis@cct.nu
Curtis,here is a '33 with the wrong engine.I hope that you find the car soon. http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/1574816554.html I would encourage you to consider the argument that people have been modifying cars for a long,long time and it is a big part of the hobby.With that said,I could not think of a better builder for a streetrod/hotrod/cruiser Buick than a true Buick guy.Just going by the Buick Boys examples,you all can build some nice cars. As far as the purists go I'll say,be happy that there's a Buick engine in there,you are still preserving the car. The BCA has a modified division(BMD),it is exactly for this type of car.As one may expect,there are not that many members but there are some nice examples of the vehicles and passion for them.The division was organized by Keith Horsfall,a long time Buick lover and BCA member.If you would like to contact him I could get you an email address or a phone no. through PM. Good luck on your search.
There's LOTS of wood that needs replacing when making one of the early cars into a hot rod. Something else to think about. It is not as easy as some may have you believe. Just my thoughts.
