We offer for sale this unique Buick Super 8 Special from 1929. This rare American Vintage racer is built on a Buick 45 Chassis from 1929 and is equipped with a 5.3 liter 8-cylinder Buick Fireball engine. The engine is equipped with two Edelbrock carburetors and a custom exhaust manifold. The Buick’s 165 HP is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 3-speed manual gearbox.
This Buick features a custom body with a long hood and an aerodynamic rear end. A really cool detail of the car is its shark head above the grille. It has a cream-coloured white paintwork and various hand-painted drawings and logos. This look is inspired by the American vintage racers from the 20s/30s. In addition to its rugged appearance, this Buick has a burgundy red leather seat that offers slightly more comfort than most racers from that era. The streamlined windscreen keeps the wind out well.
