wicked cool car! but i highly doubt that'll take corners like a corvette, i mean look at the walls on those tires, theyre huge! still a nice car though!
Hey its a modernised driveline,engine,handling etc.Factory was a 322cid nailhead V8 with Torque Tube, finned drums all round. Its not just an engine change!! Im guessing Jay likes to outmanouvre new stuff which is why he built it.
Honestly, I'm a little dissapointed. Why a @*$!# crate motor? What's wrong with hoppin' up the "8 in a row makes 'em go" straight eight that was in it? If that makes me a Buick purist, then I'm guilty as charged!
wow i dream of having jay leno's Buick if i bet that ride flies down the freeway

@GIwillo sounds like they installed C4 or C5 suspension from the Corvettes.

@dicarlo57 in the popular mechanics he goes into detail about suspension, breaks and custom hubcaps made to hide the corvette suspension and breaks.

You're guilty as charged, brownie, but not as a Buick purist.
The original engine was a V8, not a straight eight.

Even worse if it was a Nailhead that was replaced with that BELLY BUTTON crate motor!

I agree, he didn't mention the wheels and the drive train. It has a late model Corvette rear end.

Wish he would have mentioned the wheels. Has like 18 or 19" wheels that are machined to look like stock hubcaps. Stock wheels are 15"
