If one were to hear the brand name Buick, what would spring to mind are some of the most impressive classic cars in history. An interesting fact about Buick is that it was among the first American automobile brands and was the company that established General Motors. It was founded more than a century ago and granted the world with fascinating automobiles that are coveted today. The Buick Special, otherwise known as the Series 40, is a model line produced by the company that was usually its lowest-priced model. In the year 1940, Buick marketed their year lineup as new and improved, and our subject, the 1940 Buick Special Series 40 Coupe, was among them.

The Special was built for several decades, undergoing multiple facelifts, including this particular iteration of a 1964 Buick Special Restomod. An automobile built for the people, the Special was a full-size car that came in different forms, this one being a 2-door. A restomod project, this Buick has been saved from expiration and given a new lease on life, ready to be enjoyed and appreciated by all passers-by, especially the driver. Packed with plenty of modern conveniences, a slick paint job, and a rebuilt engine that the current owner reports has less than 3,000 miles on the clock, very little can be said to turn down this special Buick.
Buick’s midsize offering from 1973 to 2004, the Regal, entered the market just as the Malaise Era was getting started. So, instead of moaning about the stringent emissions and economy regulations, Buick made it a bit more upmarket than segment contenders. Then, the second generation came about in 1978, bringing with it fresh styling and a station wagon body style. Then, in 1982, the Grand National trim came out, to celebrate Buick winning the Manufacturers Cup in 1981 and 1982 for the NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National. Buick proudly advertised the car as “What wins on Sunday sells on Monday”. Up for sale today is a 1985 Buick Regal Grand National, but one that’s been extensively modified. The car pushes a four-figure horsepower digit at the wheels, and the current owner proudly tells us that it does a 5.2 in the 1/8th at 131mph. Want more figures? How about an 8.4 in the quarter mile, passing the line at a staggering 161mph? Furthermore, this build has just 4,500 miles on it, and comes with some creature comforts that make it a viable regular car when required.
Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.

Say hello to the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. You may be familiar with the name; after all, it’s one of the most iconic cars out there. It was a proper performance car that took the Camaro name to new heights. One of the downsides of this kind of fame is that imitators are aplenty — not all Camaros bore the SS moniker when they left the showroom. However, our featured car is reported to be a true SS. Moreover, it’s undergone a complete restoration to bring it to its current condition.
Would you like to own a vehicle that’s a sports car and a pickup truck rolled into one surprisingly stylish package? Well, that’s what the Chevy El Camino has been offering for several years, until it bowed out in 1987. This interesting body style provided the ride quality and handling of a car, paired with some load-lugging capabilities more atypical of pickup trucks. Called the Coupe Utility segment, this would go on to become immensely popular in countries such as Australia and South Africa. So if you’re a Coupe Utility fan, check out this 1987 Chevrolet El Camino SS with just 5,000 original miles that we’re selling right now. The current owner reports that it’s had a recent oil change, and comes with a maintenance manual, plus an original car cover to keep it safe should you need to park it outdoors.
