Under the hood is a supercharged LS motor (GM V8) capable of producing 1,176hp. Set back 10-inches from the factory engine position, it is mated to a PPG Dog Box sequential transmission. The rear end is a Curry (ford) 9-inch. This old Buick has an estimated top speed of 230 mph and it has actually seen 208 mph (in Mexico). Car owner Frankie says this “heavy pig” weighs in at approximately 3,800-pounds.
Wait until you see this thing on the street. This is the first time that I’ve seen Shawn with a fearful look on his face. Fast doesn’t even begin to describe what this Buick restomod is – prepare yourself to be impressed.
