This 1966 Buick Special is a modified driver that has been in the same family for 14 years. Power is provided by a Chevrolet 355ci V8 that is mated to a TH-350 3-speed automatic transmission and has been mildly upgraded with a more aggressive cam, Edelbrock intake and carburetor, headers, four-core radiator, and an HEI ignition. Maintenance performed in the past few years includes new brakes, gas tank cleaning, a coolant flush, new belts, and an oil change performed three months ago. The car is offered at no reserve with a clean Washington title in the seller’s name.

The car was repainted by the seller in 2013 in a semi-gloss gunmetal gray finish. The finish is said to be in good condition with a few chips noted, while the trim has been modified with shaved emblems on the front fenders and filled-in emblems along the front of the hood. Additional modifications include in the installation of a hood scoop as well as holes drilled for hood-pins.

Several small dents and dings, as well as some bubbling and filler cracking are noted by the seller and highlighted above. The functional hood scoop was cracked when being shipped to the seller and has been fixed with skimmed filler material to prevent leakage into the engine bay.

Fitted with a set of taller and stiffer springs, the car is currently equipped with a set of 15″ Cragar slotted wheels mounted with a matching set of BF Goodrich radials. An additional set of new 17″ wheels are included in the sale.

The interior is in fair condition with worn seat upholstery and interior plastics, as well as missing door panels and sill plates. Modifications include a Grant steering wheel, accessory gauges mounted under the dash, and a conversion to a floor-mounted shifter after installation of the TH-350. The factory column shifter has been bypassed.

Gauges, indicators, and other electric accessories remain operational, though the aftermarket stereo is said to be unreliable. The functional CB radio is connected to a PA speaker and is included in the sale. The odometer shows 82k miles, though true mileage is unknown.

The headliner is showing a few splits at the seams as well as in the surface just above the driver.

Originally fitted with a 225ci V6 and Powerglide transmission, the car is now powered by 355ci Chevrolet V8 installed by the seller along with a TH-350 3-speed automatic. The seller mildly upgraded the engine over time with a slightly more aggressive cam, Edelbrock intake and carburetor, headers, four-core radiator, and an HEI ignition.

Though records are minimal, the seller has performed consistent maintenance on the car with new brakes, a gas tank cleaning, a coolant flush performed in 2013, and new belts in 2015. Driven approximately 300 miles since then, the seller performed an oil change three months ago.

An extra set of 17″ prefinished gunmetal gray wheels purchased from Summit Racing are included. Two videos are provided below of the engine running:
