The 1937 Buick Special Series 40 Convertible represents a distinctive moment in prewar American automotive design, blending elegant Art Deco styling with the smooth, streamlined proportions that defined Buick’s entry-level luxury models of the era. While Buick was known for refinement and engineering sophistication in the 1930s, this example advances that legacy by integrating modern performance and comfort into a classic platform. Finished in Silver and fitted with a Carson-style removable top, this restomod preserves the graceful lines of the original convertible while transforming it into a high-performance cruiser that bridges prewar aesthetics and contemporary hot rod culture.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1937 Buick Special Series 40 Convertible features a custom Corvette-style silver finish that highlights the flowing fenders, long hood, and low stance characteristic of the Series 40, while polished brightwork and aftermarket wheels add a restrained modern contrast. The Carson-style removable top maintains a period-correct convertible appearance while enhancing usability. Inside, the black interior is cleanly executed with custom upholstery, a modern gauge cluster integrated into a simplified dashboard, and an aftermarket sound system discreetly incorporated to retain a vintage visual character while offering contemporary functionality.
Engine
Power is supplied by a 427ci tall-deck supercharged V8 equipped with a BDS Roots-style supercharger and dual four-barrel carburetors, providing performance far beyond the vehicle’s original specifications. Power is delivered through a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission to a rear end with a 3.73 gear ratio, offering a balance between strong acceleration and highway drivability. A custom chassis supports the drivetrain, complemented by four-wheel disc brakes and air conditioning, resulting in a mechanically robust build designed for confident modern road manners while accommodating the engine’s substantial output.
This 1940 Buick Special Series 40 Convertible Coupe blends prewar elegance with postwar V8 performance thanks to a later-model drivetrain upgrade. While retaining its classic proportions and convertible charm, this example benefits from a 350ci Buick V8 and automatic transmission, making it far more usable and approachable for modern driving. The combination of vintage styling and mechanical updates gives this Buick a restomod character without straying too far from its original identity.

The 1938 Buick Special Series 40 Sedan captures the elegance and innovation of pre-war American motoring, blending Buick’s hallmark smoothness with stylish Art Deco design. Offered from Nevada, Missouri, this example remains highly original, powered by its 248ci inline-eight paired to a 3-speed manual transmission. With 72,366 miles, it stands as both a collectible pre-war classic and a usable vintage sedan that showcases Buick’s engineering achievements of the era.
The 1972 Buick Gran Sport is a great example of why Buick’s muscle cars have always had their own following. Where some competitors leaned almost entirely into aggression, the GS mixed real V8 performance with a more polished, upscale feel, and this 60,979-mile example captures that balance nicely. Finished in Burnished Copper with a Black vinyl roof over a Black interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 and 4-barrel carburetor with a TH350 3-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. The equipment list is especially appealing for an enthusiast cruiser, with power disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, a full-length console, Rallye steering wheel, tinted glass, chrome-plated wheels, and period stereo equipment all part of the package. It has the visual presence of a proper early-1970s muscle car, but with the comfort and restraint that made Buick’s Gran Sport line feel a little more grown-up than the average stoplight bruiser.
The 1984 Buick Riviera Coupe comes from an era when personal luxury cars were all about presence, comfort, and a sense of occasion, and this example delivers that character in a particularly period-correct package. Showing 41,329 miles, it is finished in Light Sand Gray over a Burgundy velour interior and powered by a 307ci V8 paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The padded Burgundy vinyl roof, burl woodgrain trim, split front bench seat, column-mounted shifter, and Riviera hood ornament give it the unmistakable look and feel of an upscale 1980s Buick, while air conditioning, power accessories, and the Concert Sound audio system add the comfort expected from the nameplate. It is the kind of Riviera that appeals less through outright performance and more through its relaxed cruising character, distinctive styling, and richly finished cabin.
The 1961 Buick Electra 225 Riviera 4-Door Hardtop captures Buick at the height of its early-1960s luxury era, combining dramatic styling with a long list of power conveniences. Showing approximately 72,246 miles, this example is finished in silver metallic over a gray cloth and vinyl interior and is powered by Buick’s 401ci Wildcat V8 paired with a Turbine Drive two-speed automatic. Power steering, power brakes, power windows, factory air conditioning and heat, and a Wonderbar radio give it the kind of equipment expected from Buick’s flagship lineup, while the Riviera designation adds further distinction to an already imposing full-size hardtop.
With just 1,025 miles showing, this 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is an extraordinary low-mileage example of one of the most important American performance cars of its era. The first-year ZR-1 paired the C4 Corvette’s unmistakable shape with the sophisticated 5.7-liter LT5 DOHC 32-valve V8, a ZF 6-speed manual transmission, and unique wide-body hardware developed to handle its increased performance. Finished in Black over a Black leather interior, this example retains hallmark ZR-1 equipment including the dual-mode engine power system with its Full-Power key, Selective Ride Control, staggered 17-inch directional aluminum wheels, and removable targa roof panel. The approximately 1,025 miles displayed are the defining feature here, making this a particularly compelling example for the collector or enthusiast seeking a first-year ZR-1 with remarkably limited indicated use.
The 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo represents one of the most ambitious Japanese-American performance collaborations of the early 1990s, combining dramatic grand-touring styling with a sophisticated twin-turbocharged powertrain and an unusually advanced collection of chassis technology for its era. This example shows approximately 31,533 miles and is finished in Mistic Blue Metallic over a Black interior. Beyond its 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 and Getrag 5-speed manual transmission, the R/T Turbo specification brings period performance features such as active aerodynamics, electronically controlled suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes with ABS, and pop-up headlights. With relatively low indicated mileage and unmistakably early-'90s styling, this Stealth delivers the technology-heavy character that made the flagship R/T Turbo such a distinctive performance car.
The 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray represents one of the most memorable years of the C3 era, and this convertible brings together several of the ingredients enthusiasts look for in a classic Corvette. Showing approximately 2,999 miles on the odometer, it pairs Daytona Yellow paintwork with a black interior, both a convertible soft top and removable hardtop, and the unmistakable presence of a 427ci big-block V8. A 4-speed manual transmission, triple 2-barrel carburetors, side exhaust, heavy-duty clutch, and power-assisted steering and brakes give this example a particularly appealing specification. The current owner also reports that the engine build has been refreshed.
