3728-PHX 1955 BUICK SPECIAL LS1 RESTOMOD
This 1955 Buick Special LS1 Restomod is a masterclass in blending
classic style with modern performance. Dressed in a stunning shade
of burgundy that seems to shimmer under the sun, this coupe is an
instant attention-grabber. The body, with its iconic lines and
curves, has been meticulously restored to a driver-plus quality,
ensuring that every inch of this beauty is a sight to behold. The
polished American Racing salt flat special 15" wheels, wrapped in
205/70R15 tires up front and 255/70R15 at the rear, add a touch of
retro-cool while providing a solid connection to the road.
Inside, the custom beige vinyl interior is a testament to
craftsmanship and comfort. The bucket seats, accented by a
beautifully crafted center console housing a Pioneer DVD player,
invite you to settle in and enjoy the ride. The updated dash,
featuring Hairline gauges and aftermarket air conditioning
controls, seamlessly integrates modern amenities into the classic
design. The polished aluminum three-spoke steering wheel, mounted
on a tilt column combined with power steering, puts control at your
fingertips, while the column shifter adds a touch of old-school
cool.
The real excitement lies beneath the hood, where a 5.7L LS1 V8
engine with aluminum block and heads unleashes a thrilling wave of
power, paired with a smooth-shifting 4L60E 4-speed automatic
transmission for the perfect balance of performance and
drivability. The well-organized engine compartment features custom
manifolds, a unique Buick engine cover, and a dependable serpentine
belt drive system. This Buick Special's prowess extends to its
masterfully upgraded chassis by Terry Palmer, with an independent
front suspension, 4-link rear setup with Ridetech coilovers,
four-wheel power disc brakes, and a 9" rear axle, delivering a ride
that's smooth, responsive, and effectively channels the LS1's might
to the asphalt.
