We know this particular 1957 Buick Special well and can tell you that there is no other like it on earth! We were around when Larry Larson Race Cars was finishing it up a few years ago and can tell you that everything on it has been done to the ultimate level. There is a jillion dollars worth of chrome on this car and it is all perfect in every way. You very rarely see a 1957 Buick Special, and almost never one that is nicer than this one. And then you throw in the amazing chassis work, the twin turbo big block, and all the other horsepower greatness and this car is a completely different level of cool.

If I had the means to get a Ferarri-Lambo supercar this big fat Buick would be in my garage instead!
crush the car……it’s been tainted by having a 7-11 engine in it. YUK……..
The car is absolutely stunning on so many levels. Not only was the concept exceptionally well conceived, but the execution is perfect. To me, it is one of those few cars that that fall into the catagory of automotive jewelry. It’s big, its audacious, but it’s also packaged so well, with no overt scoops or flares or aero to crap on the original design. Full kudos to the owner and builders of the car for turning out such an amazing beast, and best of luck with the sale. Do I like it? Um, yeah. 🙂
What would it cost to have a 455 Buick built to replace the belly-button BBC that they inexplicably defiled it with? Other than that I LOVE the car. It CAN be saved.
Why do these mouth-breathers insist on using non-standard engines in their cars ? The Buick should have a big Buick 500+ inch Godzilla engine in it. Screw this putting a chubby engine in everything on God’s green earth. Enough is enough. Stop it !………..
If it had a real Buick engine, besides being a grenade looking for a place to explode, it would be stuck in the 10’s, not the 7’s.
What it really needs is a Hemi!
