Buick 3 Window

Power comes from a 350 ZZ4 V8, which is always the engine of choice when reliability and performance count. It's a tight fit in the Buick's engine bay, which was originally designed for a straight-eight, and with plenty of chrome dress-up bits, it certainly looks good enough to show with the hood open. With a 4-barrel carburetor and HEI ignition, it's a very reliable travelling partner and 355 horsepower is over triple what it had originally, so it's plenty quick. Dual exhaust sounds muted and muscular, the way you'd hope your new Buick would sound, and with a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear end, it's an easy highway cruiser. Up front, a modern clip adds power steering and power front disc brakes, plus modern suspension geometry, so it drives beautifully, tracks straight, and feels rather modern. 15-inch American Racing wheels help with the killer look and they sit on staggered 215/70/15 front and 255/70/15 rear blackwall Cooper Cobra radials all around.
