Here is a Photo of the car that had the back bumper an inch off the groud and the rest are of my car. I couldn't get any good pics cause my camera has a delay on it(sucks).

 

 

All in all it was a great week until the last day. I set my car up to go, changed the tires and then let it sit to go do some laundry. When I get back I guess my dad decided to take a pass in it. Well he blew the motor up. It is knocking and squeaking. Oh well I guess. Just have to build it up bigger and stronger. I was really hoping for an 11sec time slip though. -Mat-

 

I assume, Mat, that your father is no longer with us.

wow sweet azz car...i always wanted one!...my condolences tot you...and your dad too

 

no offense but do you live in a gansta part of boston neighborhood?

 

None taken, I live in CT in a nice Suburban area. Those pics were taken in Bowling Green, KY. -Mat-

 

DAMN!!!!!! That is indeed a SWEEEEEEEEET Car...

 

How long have you had that car?
Did you ever run an AMC Spirt with a 390 in Waterbury?
Looks like one I had a run in with a few years back. JA

 

My dad bought the car brand new. Has 46,000 original miles. He "gave" it to me(the only car that was given to me). I still call it is he calls it mine. But anyways no I haven't race a AMC. There are a lot of GN's and T's running around with rims like mine. So who won the race anyways>??? -Mat-

 

Swaaaeeet looking car. I also had a soft spot in my heart for those cars

 

I watched one of those roll three times one day while driving down the interstate. No doubt, by far and away, the worst wreck I've ever witnessed.

 

Well, I lost only because I couldn't hook up, even starting in 2rd.....lol! It would easily wheelspin 3rd from a stop......no lie! It is actually a friends car, 390 "Rebel Machine" motor .060 over , custom Lunati cam with .635 lift. The car had so much torque it started to tear the pass side "A" post at the top of the windshield. It had a M 21 or 22, Ford 9" with 4:10's.a 980CFM Predator carb. The motor was 550 horse. It gave up the ghost, lost the top of the ring lands on a few pistons.
It tore up the body of the Sprit, it was pulled rebuilt to 650 hp, and now lives in a 68' Javlin, now an automatic.

 

Mat,

that is one badass looking Buick! hope you had fun at the event, and sorry to hear about your blown motor best of luck rebuilding it to be bigger and badder than before

 

Thanks for the kind words guys. I had a blast at the event and that is all that matters to me. I slapped the parts on the car and did the trans in 2 days so I was happy with a 12.20. I have been building a 4.1L for it, capped and girdled. Guess I will have to build it sooner. The bottom end is done, now it is time for a ATR Roller Cam, Champion Alum Heads, Roller Rockers, Matched Intake and a fast system and I will be crankin' out some nice numbers. I saw a Silver Gen II Lighting and a Redfire 03 Cobra when I was there, was that any of you guys>??? -Mat-
