1960 Buick Invicta
Car History
The Buick Invicta was a full-size automobile produced by Buick from
1959 to 1963. The Invicta was a continuation of the Buick Century
concept that mated the standard size Buick LeSabre body with
Buick's larger 401 cubic inch Nailhead V8 engine, yielding what was
referred to as "the banker's hot rod."
The Invicta name was derived from Latin and signified
'unconquerable, invincible, unbeatable, unvanquished' according to
Buick Motor Division sales training materials.
Adventure Classics has a completely restored and very desirable
original 1960 Buick Invicta 4 Door Hardtop with the Buick "Wildcat"
401 cubic inch engine that had a whopping 325 horsepower back
then.
Engine & Drivetrain
This is a beautiful 1960 Buick Invicta 4 door sedan with the 401
cubic inch 4 barrel 325 horsepower HV8 engine with dual exhausts.
It has what appears to be all the correct factory parts and
accessories on this engine including the "WILDCAT" black painted
air cleaner system, red painted engine block, intake, and valve
covers, 4-barrel carb, power steering, power brakes, and air
conditioning.
This car was one rare blend of size and performance before the
muscle car era! The Buick Invicta was arguably Buick's first
performance car. The engine is matched to the Turbine Drive
Automatic transmission with the power going to the ground via the
steel factory wheels with wide-whitewall tires and factory chrome
hubcaps to give it the right Buick look.
Interior
The beautifully restored interior is finished in red and white on
the front bench seat and matching rear seat with red carpet and red
& white door panels to match.
It is loaded with power steering, power brakes, Buick radio, deluxe
steering wheel, padded instrument panel, electric clock, heater &
defroster, automatic trunk light, deluxe wheel covers,
Exterior
Stunning is all I can say about the exterior paint in its red and
white paint scheme and its
body style that is classy and attractive. GM's cars were the first
to reflect the influence of Bill Mitchell, Harley Earl's successor
as corporate design chief and Mitchell made sure the line included
Invicta's trio of portholes on the front fenders,
This particular 1960 Buick Invicta 4 Door Hardtop example is in
very fine condition and looks extremely impressive with a beautiful
repaint.
Conclusion
This is a rare opportunity to own a great daily driving and
restored example of a 1960 Buick Invicta 401/325HP V8 4 Door
Hardtop that we have here at Adventure Classics.
