LOOK BUT YOU WILL NEVER FIND another, like this Kustom car anywhere . One of a kind super build that really shows well and always takes home the prize  at any car show.  This is a great driver as well and gets good gas mileage . 
 
The 53 Buick body started out as a two door hard top which has been modified to fit the 1993 Buick  Road Master drive train which was selected and grafted with the 53 body, and very nicely I might add. Sooo you have all the modern  traits with anti lock brakes, fuel injection , over drive trans, power steering, and power disk front brakes.

The all steel body was shaved, chopped, Frenched, and lowered for a bad ass look.  Halogen headlights, LED ‘59 Caddy tail lights, Kustom gas filler, shaved door handles with Frenched tail lights and antenna.   Kustom stainless steel exhaust tips, Dayton wire wheels with 3” Diamondback whitewalls, a removable Carson style top used for inclement weather  has snap on convertible style boot.  Painted 2002 Corvette Torch Red.  

The engine is a ZZ4-350, with custom intake which covers the throttle body fuel injection 4-barrell, carb, computer controlled, factory air conditioning, overflow can. Factory everything else.

The interior using 1966 Thunderbird bucket seats and wrap around rear seat in leather with matching seatbelts.  Carpet is Corvette color to match paint.  A late model Cadillac Escalade console, modified to fit at dash with working air for rear passengers.  A Sony sound system keeps you smiling as the miles roll by.  The steering column down  is the 93, as well as the floorboard, chassis and all stock runner underneath. A 7” touch screen navigation system, which is removable for other vehicle use. One-off Kustom steering wheel from Concept To Reality Company, 5” dolphin gauges, power windows, key fob door locks and trunk, one remote button underneath car for access without key. Finished out trunk with locking compartment.  

Do not bid if you do not want to attract attention at any point in your journey.
Do not bid if you do not want to talk to people who are fascinated with this car.
Do not bid if your wife does not approve about spending this money.
Do not bid if you do not want a bad ass looking car.
Do not bid if your pockets are empty.  (NO TIRE KICKERS)
I am a long time E-Bayer and have bought and sold cars here and I really hate having to move this one on but health forces sale.  A couple of things need attention:  speedometer hookup (loose wire?), backwards fuel gauge reading. Horn just stopped working (relay?)

You will receive all receipts and detailed info on the entire build, where things are, A-Z, so you can find electrical port for diagnostic, computer location, battery location, lock-out switch location, etc.

I will assist with your shipper.

A Nice, New Buick Aims For Middle Of The Road
Any time someone describes some portion of a car or a driving experience as being "nice," I want to either A) throttle them or B) run as fast and as far as I can from that vehicle. "Nice" is among the most insidious words in the English language - at best it's vague, and at worst, it conveys the exact opposite of its literal meaning. Yet it seems to be used with damnable frequency when it comes to verbally illustrating vehicles. "It looks really nice," or "These seats feel nice," or, heaven forefend, "It's got a nice ride," are all windy signifiers of absolutely nothing resembling a concrete opinion. "Nice" is the adjectival equivalent of meekly smiling and nodding your head.
Of course, I'm as guilty as the next person of having thrown English's least powerful descriptor around. There's even a chance that, rant aside, you'll catch me making nice in reviews to come. That's fine, but you should know that when you stumble upon such usage, past or future, that you've found a sentence in which I'm simply applying a bare minimum of effort to the task.

Buick resurrects the Electra nameplate on a science fiction-like electric concept

Tue, Sep 29 2020

Buick plans to broaden its range of electric cars in the coming years, and it still owns the rights to the heritage-laced Electra nameplate, so it was only a matter of time before the past and the future met head-on. Buick resurrected the name it used between the 1959 and 1990 model years on a futuristic, battery-powered concept car. Created by a Shanghai-based design studio, the Electra concept takes the form of either a tall sedan or a low crossover, depending on your perspective. While it's not officially a preview of an upcoming production model, it ushers in a design language named Potential Energy that will permeate most of the electric cars the firm will release during the 2020s. It's inspired by a space capsule, according to Buick, so its greenhouse was drawn to resemble a glass pod. Its surfaces are sculpted but not chiseled, and its front fascia wears LED lights with a three-dimensional effect. Fear not: Stylists didn't forget the seemingly obligatory back-lit emblem. Butterfly doors provide access to the cabin, where the space capsule theme continues. Buick packed the Electra with cutting-edge technology features, but it concealed them rather well to avoid a tech overload. The driver faces a rectangular steering wheel that retracts when it's not needed, behind which is a wide, curved screen that replaces all of the buttons, knobs, and switches normally found in a car's interior. An electric motor is far more compact than a comparable four- or six-cylinder engine, so designers were able to carve out a generously sized interior. Engineers embedded technology into the Electra from the project's earliest stage. It's equipped with software named eConnect that supports over-the-air updates, provides on-demand information about a specific trip, and gives details about the various electronic driving aids. An artificial intelligence-powered assistant lets users perform various tasks, such as setting the air conditioning or controlling home devices, with voice commands. Buick noted the Electra offers about 410 miles of driving range thanks in part to the Ultium battery technology developed by General Motors to power a wide selection of electric models, including the Cadillac Lyriq, the GMC Hummer, and a pair of Honda-badged models scheduled to go on sale for the 2024 model year.

Buick announces Ultium-based EV for the Chinese market

Wed, Nov 23 2022

Buick will expand its presence in the EV segment by launching a five-seater crossover on the Chinese market before the end of 2022. The model will use the Ultium technology developed by parent company General Motors, and it will be closely followed by another electric car. Official details about the model remain few and far between; we don't even know what it will be called yet. The company published an image that shows an electric platform topped by the outline of a crossover, and it clarified power will come from a battery pack with cells "tailored for China." The battery-powered Buick will also be available with the Super Cruise technology found in other General Motors models. The outline shares more than a passing resemblance with the heavily-camouflaged test mule that our spies spotted testing earlier in 2022, but it's difficult to tell whether we're looking at the same car. Trademark filings suggest Buick has several electric cars in the pipeline. While the crossover won't be the first electric Buick — the Velite 6 MAV went on sale in China in 2019 — executives have high hopes for it. To that end, the company will open up to 58 Buick EV City showrooms and over 600 Buick NEV Zones across China. It's also working with "mainstream third-party charging operators" to make over 400,000 charging points available throughout China by the end of 2023. Buick will release additional details about its upcoming electric model before the end of 2022, and deliveries are scheduled to start in the first half of 2023 on the Chinese market. As of writing, it's too early to tell whether the EV will join the Envista on its trip across the Pacific or stay in China. Looking ahead, the brand announced plans to release a second electric car built around Ultium technology before the end of 2023.
