Description for Buick Other 1940

The car looks, runs and sits great. Over $40K in receipts to build. New wiring, new tinted glass, new crate engine new custom built aluminum ratatator, new wheels and tires, you name it its new. I have been builting this car as a great driver. The person I purchased it from did alot of the work and has every item detailed in a document I will give to the new owner. He painted the car himself and it has orange peel that could be sanded and top coated or just left as is. This is a great touring car that has a ton of work done all the correct ways, with all new parts with reciets. It can be enjoyed the way it is or take it to the next level with a beter paint job and finish the interior. I have a few other projects going on and could use the room. The car is registered and driven with no problems please look at the photos and describetion below. All the gauges, heat and AC work great. The seats in the front are 5 way power from a Merecedes AMG that fit like a glove. Again alot of time and money has been put in this Buick and it gets alot of attention. Only about 150 test miles on the car so far. You can call me with any questions917-847-0065.
