Found a C3 I can finish out my years with.
had a bunch pf C2s and 3s when I was younger.
Always loved the flares. I guess Corvette Summer had a slight influence along with my love of the IMSA style.

70 manual, needs motor & tranny. Headlights put in some where or cut out for recessed lights. Beautiful interior, suspension rebuilt with urethane and aftermarket springs front and rear. No rust!

Plans: I have a nasty 408ci stroker LS with a TKX 5 speed in the garage looking for a home. Im hoping the shifters in the right place. Will be using a Terminator X operating system.
want side pipes, so ill have to figure that out.

Almost done with a redo on a 61 Buick LaSabre convertible with A/C. Then the vette.

Wrong front clip, but ill figure something out.

 

Now that's a cool Vette! I really like the Firebird tails and the little duck bill molded in.

I'll be following along, as this is definitely my style

 

Do what I did (Kinda') Buy a nose section/the style you like best...cut off the current nose...graft the new nose onto the car.
TAAAAA DAAAA !!!

OR...if you have $3000 to spare...but a complete front clip.

 

I agree with Transzam, too bad they messed up the flames..
Lets see the Buick, my favorite Uncle was a Buick guy and he got new ones often and some of them moved right along...

Great idea doorgunner!
here's for 1860army.

 

Nailhead ?

 

Good eye!
the little one , 364ci.
I'm leaving it stock.

 

That's not everyone's cup of tea, but damn is it cool! I hope it gets restored to its full 1970's custom glory!

 

Thanks, very cool car, I really enjoy the unusual ones that are done right. Looking back my uncle was a Skylark guy, probably the 401 in the early ones, I remember going fishing with him, tossing the poles in the back seat and ripping around country roads in upstate PA. He drank old fashions' so sometimes it was a little hairy...lol Thanks Uncle Lee...!!

Portholes !!!

Did this model Buick have a passenger 'grab-bar' ?

 

It does not.
it has a groovy dash clock though!

 

Groovy...lol... Is the clock electric? My first car was a 54 Belair and it had a wind up clock... What apiece of iron that car was...

My Dad was a Buick guy and my Uncle sold them, love the old Buicks.

 

Looks like a fun project. Enjoy it.

 

I would put the chrome bumper nose back on and get the flames matched...
I bought this shifter without the lever and used my own. I love it. It has strong springs and returns to center nicely, cant miss a gear

I cant get the link without the lever to work, its $479....

 

Thanks Rescue Roger for the TKX "pro tip"!
I was wondering what to do for the shifter. The one I bought was going into a squarebody shortbed 2wd. The shifter is in the wrong spot. I appreciate you sharing a solution and feedback on the product.

TKX I'll be starting on it in a couple months. I'll keep you guys informed ..... and Holler for help and experience on occasion.

 

You may have to shop for a proper slip yoke with straps so you can remove the driveshaft easily. I bought a bigger one so the right side of my 68 tunnel had to be bulged for clearance...

 

Nice project car, what your locations not in the aviator reason I asked I remember this car on the road, at a car show years ago?
