Buick Special (1951) for Sale in CA

This one-of-a-kind 1951 Buick Special Deluxe Restomod combines classic design with modern performance and luxury. The exterior, painted in stunning Deep Red Metallic, maintains a stock appearance at first glance, but hidden features like shaved door and trunk handles, along with an Air Ride suspension that lets the car rest on the ground, make it truly unique. Chrome accents, a custom gray interior, and the absence of visible handles create a sleek and refined look. Inside, the custom two-tone gray power bucket seats are complemented by a custom center console with controls for the Air Ride, cruise control, and Vintage Air A/C. New gauges, a chrome tilt steering column, and a Budnik steering wheel complete the stylish interior, with custom door panels and rear seat treatments to match. The trunk is custom upholstered and houses hidden storage compartments along with two custom "51 Buick" folding chairs for car shows, making it a true show car package. This Buick is built on a 1966 Buick Riviera chassis with a rebuilt 425 Nailhead engine, mated to a rebuilt 200R4 4-speed automatic transmission, and a Ford 9” rear end with 2.08 gears. The car’s modern upgrades, including hidden popper doors and a compressor-operated Air Ride system, showcase the thought and craftsmanship that went into the build.
