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.
