    Old Buicks are awesome!
    Here's my 53 Special.
    Unfortunately I have to sell the old girl.
    If anyone's interested hit me up.
    Eventually I'll post a proper ad in the for sale section.

    I have the 53 4-door Special (with the S8, 283). Question is what did you use for an adaptor for the 700R4? I found one on the web, but it is pricey.

    I have a 1952 Buick Special. I need some help getting her to breath again. I put in a new 6v coil, however I'm not getting any spark after that. Any ideas in getting her to turn over and start?
