This car started as a very solid, rust-free "barn find" from a farm in Southern Minnesota.

The car had sat in a pole building for 30 years, but was maintained and driven at least once a year.

The Buick was a frame-off rotisserie restoration.

Front frame stub was replaced with a new Fat Man front stub and suspension.

The rear end was fitted with a Jim Meyer Racing 4-bar suspension fitted to a Currie 9" rear end running 3.70 gears.

Both front and rear suspension use coilover shocks.

Brake system is Wilwood's 4-piston disc brakes.

Wheels are Dayton's wire stainless spokes fitted with 18" Yokohama tires.

Power comes from Bill Mitchell's 572cid hardcore engine fitted to a Phoenix 4L80 transmission with a Compushift controller.

Engine was dyno tested at 700hp with 715 ft/lbs of torque.

Zoops front pulley system takes care of the front engine accessories.

Fuel is delivered using Aeromotive's Stealth fuel system.

Air conditioning is cooled by a Southern Air under dash unit.
