bhemi Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Going to sell the frame and everything attached to including engine and transmission. Gas tank is shot you can stick your finger through it. 99% rust free body including doors and sills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 While I think you would find that you could get a more reliable car at a lower cost by simply restoring the original components, if you are determined to create a street rod out of it, you would have a lot better luck selling parts if you identify which series it is. I would guess it is a Special, but I can't tell for sure from your photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhemi Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 It is a special. It's a Canadian McLaughlin but still a 40. 248 Straight 8 and 5 bolt 3 speed. I am keeping it all Buick. Putting a 401 nail head in it. And keeping a standard transmission, just 3 more gears. I think the motor and tranny were worked on. Oil both looks like it just came out of the can. It was a stalled restoration that spent years in a barn. Saved the body but the interior is shot and missing bits. Look at the seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Dave Tacheny would probably have any parts needed for the original drivetrain as well as any replacement parts needed for the interior or body. LeBaron Bonney/Hampton Coach should have a complete kit for the interior panels, seats, headliner, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937-44 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 It might help if you informed people as to where you are located and what you are asking? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhemingson Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Sorry. Guess I was a bit ahead of myself. I know most people here are into restoration. I live in Vancouver Canada and anybody needing that running gear or chassis is welcome to contact me. I'd like to see it put to good use and I don't have a use for it. The frame is near perfect, never hit and surface rust only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 You have obviously created two different user profiles. I would encourage you to only use one profile. Having two different profiles is going to cause you and others a lot of unnecessary confusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937McBuick Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Another one bites the dust. To each their own. One of 311. How many do people think are still around. I believe that model was only available in the 40 series. Didn't the 60 series McBuick coupe only come with a rumble seat? And the 80 and 90 series never had closed body coupes...just Phantoms? Those stats are for McBuicks. DOYDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
