Details

This 1960 Buick Invicta 2-door hardtop is a mild custom restoration powered by a 401ci Nailhead V8 engine that has been rebuilt, painted and detailed with finned valve covers, belly pan and a Cadillac air cleaner. All engine-bay components have been powder-coated and detailed. The engine is mated to a rebuilt Turbo 400 automatic transmission and has been converted to an open driveshaft. The suspension has been completely rebuilt and powder-coated. The car sits on the original '53 Buick Skylark wire wheels and a full AccuAir suspension system. The body work was finished off with a custom blend of pearls and metallic's; featuring three coats of Sikkens paint and three coats of clear. All of the stainless on the car has been hand-polished and all chrome has been replated. All rubber seals and gaskets have been replaced with either NOS or best-quality reproduction. The custom Fawn and white interior features NOS 1956 Chrysler Imperial fabric, a one-off custom shifter knob and turn signal knob, and a plastic Jesus on the dash. Full custom sound system with CD player in the trunk with a remote and is set up to run playlists off a phone in the center console. The system features an amplifier and Infinity speakers throughout. The air compressors are tucked away nicely behind the rear seat. The trunk was finished off with custom panels and the same Imperial fabric used in the interior and features a chrome air tank for the bag system.
