    Sign-up: 1947 Buick Special Slantback Sedan

    Sign-up: 1947 Buick Special Slantback Sedan


    This Thursday night were doing two hot rods back to back so I'm going to need some muscle to know these both out of the park.

    I present... Mike Gelter's 1947 Buick Special Slantback Sedan!













    I have not seen this car in person but the normal condition is filled with swirls and in dire need of decontamination.

    350 Chevy Small Block Engine.
    Turbo 350 Automatic Transmission.
    Camaro subframe with power steering and brakes.
    Brand new air conditioning, heat and defrost.
    Stereo.
    Mooneyes gauges.
    Dynamat throughout the car.
    Flowmaster exhaust.
    Custom interior.
    Factory fresh air vents.
    New gas tank.
    Ready to hit the highway.
    Great everyday driver.
    Runs cool too.

    Look how long the front fenders are... and the slantback design makes this a very rare car.

    I agree. People love the HUGE chrome grills on these classics. If you were walking into a parking lot at your local grocery store and one of these was parked in the parking lot among a sea of brand new cars I'm pretty sure which car would get the "second look".

    This is the kind of car I see getting fixed up and hot rodded on a majority of the "Car Guy" car shows on TV.

    It's always good to have your help John. Do you have any car buddies that you think would like to also be a part of this? Co-workers, kids, neighbors?

    Share the fun...


    I don't know of any other place in the United States where people are invited to attend events like these and get to actually take a machine to cars like these.

    Be rested up... these are HUGE cars!

    Mike said the paint is rough... so I felt it and he's right, this the paint on this car feels like $40 grit sandpaper.
