Thank you for visiting!!

I built this car in the early 90's, it has been featured in many magazines and has gotten lots of awards, for sale for the first time. It is a 1922 Buick Roadster, all real steel! I started building it in 1990 and finished in time for 1994 Oakland Roadster Show.. I custom built 95% of the parts on it. The engine is a 1965 .060 over 401 (413 ci) and has custom 10-1 forged pistons, longer forged Pontiac 389 rods, ported heads, larger valves, custom ground solid lifter cam, B262 and 600 Carters. A rare Spalding Flamethrower dual coil distributor.. RARE Weiand valve covers and plug covers, Kring Valley pan and polished aluminum PML oil pan. It is bolted to a 65 ST400 with Hurst Shifter. The rear end is a 2.73 narrowed 1972 GS with posi . The tires are about 2 years and redid all the hydrolic brake parts a few years ago.. It has a removable steering wheel and a 31 Buick steering lock. The body has all square tubing structure replacing the original wood.. The frame is boxed with 4 link on the rear and parallel custom springs up front. The axle is a chromed 6" drop tube. Front brakes are 47 Roadmaster and 64 finned aluminum drums ..It has a custom made Hallock style windshield but I will include the stock type one that I had on the car first.. This is a quality built car, no expense spared and the reserve is what it cost to build 25 years ago and it only has about 10k on it.. There are a few things it needs, engine and radiator detailing and VDO speedo is off sometimes but odometer and everything else is fine. The car drives great at low and high speed, I have had it to 100 once and still in second gear! I am just getting old and fat and time for a larger coupe or sedan. I may take a trade.. I like 35-40 fords, 39 Buicks (other year Buicks too) and 50-51 Bullet nose Studes.. not looking for billet clad smoothies..
It was featured in Rodder's Journal #32 and front cover of BOP in 93 plus many other.. Please call me at 530-272-1564 Russ
