Being a product of one of the first American Automobile manufacturers typically means that any Buick is steeped in history. And while that’s no doubt the case with this 1955 Special, it can also be said the near eight-decade old body shell has had some life injected into it. This resto-mod project has reportedly had no expense spared. Under the hood is a wildly more powerful engine, with an output figure on par with modern-day supercars. Inside is a brand new custom interior, while everything else has been painstakingly brought up to speed so as to handle all the extra power. And with just 75 miles on the clock since the build completion, this Buick Special is practically new.
Finished in black, the Buick Special channels the hot-rodding culture of yesteryear thanks to its large, staggered-size rims by Boyd Coddington Wheels and visually-imposing blower peeking out of the hood. The low stance is courtesy of a Ridetech coilover air ride suspension system. Inside this Buick resto-mod, is a custom interior finished predominantly in red, including the head liner. The dash-top sports a carbon effect finish, and the beveled gauges are neatly integrated into the center.
The star attraction of this build is what lies under (and pops out of) the hood. Rated at 647hp, this Buick Special sports a 383sbc with a Dart block. It features an all-forged rotating assembly, necessary for the TBS 671 blower (aka a supercharger). Willwood brakes sit behind the open wheels to add much-needed stopping power, while the front end is taken care of with a Fat Man front half with Mustang power rack and polished tubular control arms.
The 1937 Buick Special Series 40 Convertible represents a distinctive moment in prewar American automotive design, blending elegant Art Deco styling with the smooth, streamlined proportions that defined Buick’s entry-level luxury models of the era. While Buick was known for refinement and engineering sophistication in the 1930s, this example advances that legacy by integrating modern performance and comfort into a classic platform. Finished in Silver and fitted with a Carson-style removable top, this restomod preserves the graceful lines of the original convertible while transforming it into a high-performance cruiser that bridges prewar aesthetics and contemporary hot rod culture.
The 1938 Buick Special Series 40 Sedan captures the elegance and innovation of pre-war American motoring, blending Buick’s hallmark smoothness with stylish Art Deco design.

With 72,366 miles, it stands as both a collectible pre-war classic and a usable vintage sedan that showcases Buick’s engineering achievements of the era.
This 1947 Buick Special Model 51 has been transformed from a post-war American sedan into a meticulously built restomod that blends classic Buick elegance with modern performance and usability. Offered from Corpus Christi, Texas, it rides on an all-steel body finished in cream with burgundy window accents and is powered by a GM 6.0L Vortec LS V8 paired to a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission.
One of the shortest-lived nameplates in Buick history has got to be the Invicta. In fact, this full-size offering packed in two generations within just five years. The first generation ran for 1959 and 1960, while the second was made from 1961 to 1963. Given the car’s short production run, it’s no surprise that the market isn’t awash with examples. Thankfully, we have this 53,667-mile 1959 Buick Invicta for sale today. With its 401ci V8 and automatic gearbox, this Miami-based classic is the perfect choice for someone seeking an unconventional automobile to cherish, and of course, drive.
