  1. Not your average 32 Buick. Fully built hot rod. Professionally built chassis. 4 inch Speedway Motors drop axle , disc brakes all around , Ford 8.8 rear end , BBC 396, Edlebrock intake and carb, 700r4 transmission with Lokar tall shifter, Wilwood brake pedal with balance bar , Speedway spoon throttle, new driveshaft, Q1A adjustable coilover rear shocks, Lake headers with Car Chemistry baffles, Poly fuel tank, Stewart Warner gauges, custom bead roller interior. New wheels freshly powdercoated and new rubber. Only thing original is the body which bares the original bumps and bruises which I intentionally left for the old hot rod look. 

     

    Located in Ontario Canada . 4 hrs from Toronto and 3 hours from Sault Ste Marie. Over $40k invested ... Asking $31 000 Canadian. IMG_20210424_111909.jpg.c1abf582bd9894810dd823c2437bbb14.jpgIMG_20210424_111542.jpg.8387e894c1ed6d45df5cf12687dd9e5b.jpg

    The seats too?  No padding?  Looks like a rough ride on the human hides.  

    Seats as well. They might not look comfy but they are formed perfectly and not too bad on the butt at all. I've put a few miles in them. I have everything set up perfectly for me.

    PAINT#288 IS Imperial Black with White pin stripe and black wire or demountable wheels.

     

    Trim #114 seats are Bedford Cord Gray, Headliner is Flannel Gray. 

     

    The lower tag BUICK MOTOR CO describes the model.

     

    The upper numbers are FISHER BODY CORP identification numbers.

    Thanks so much. 

    Some of my time had green so I didn't know if they were the original color.

    to each his/her own.  Looks like a fun driver.  I always wonder what hot rodders do about the wood framing in a body like this?  Just ignore it, repair it, or replace with metal?  How about starting a thread about your work in the modified section here?

    Thanks ... it's a very fun car to drive. 

    The rotted wood was replaced with metal. If I was a woodworker, I'd have attempted to redo the wood , but that would have been a real pain in the rear . 

    I will start a new thread once I get all my pictures of the build in order.

    I, too, am from Ontario and recognize the new issue license plates and am amazed how hot rodders can pass the required safety inspection?  At least you did not apply to use Antique Plates as many of you hot rodders do.  Gary

    The car passes all Ontario Safety requirements. I have actually added more than is required for the year of the vehicle. I have fenders that bolt on and off for changing weather conditions , but the MTO specifications state that fenders are required to stop water from being sprayed up if it's raining. If it's not raining , they are not required ... similar to transports. The exhaust has internal baffles that make it quieter than my 2007 Toyota Tundra. I have 2 young kids , so the car was built with safety in mind. It has a functional windshield wiper , horn , all lights work , even has an electric actuated park brake. I could have applied for the Antique plates but then I'd be limited in the amount I can drive it.

    I would not disparrage your efforts since what you show of the car as found not much body wise could be resurected for a restoration. Our only concerns with the streetrodded examples is what became of the original drive train? The removed parts could help others in their restoration.

    The frame , and full running gear ( engine, trans, axles etc ) all went to a collector here in Ontario that owns several of these Buicks . I still have the front bumper , hood sides , and a few other odds and ends along with all sorts of original booklets like the salesman booklet from 1932 and a specs book from that year . Nothing has been crushed or sent to the garbage (other than destroyed fabric)

  7. Hey gals and guys. Figured I'd introduce myself . The name is Greg , from Ontario Canada. I purchased a barn find 1932 Model 67 a few years ago . The car was 99% complete and very solid. I did what most of you will hate ... I cut it up and hot rodded it. It got a new frame , new interior , new running gear.  Here are a few before and after pictures. The green rims are going to black soon.
