[Raymond Bunch]

Hi Everyone,

This 64 Buick is the car I recently purchased off EBAY.

I have big plans for it as it will eventually turbo'ed. Just thought I would share with you.... Here are a couple pictures, will downsize and post more later with specifics about this car as it sits right now. Enjoy.

64 Buick Drag Car Is On It Way!

Well the car was finally picked up and should be here by this coming Tuesday. Here a picture of it on the trailer.....

That is an extremely nice looking car. You don't see many of those. I'm sure you've got an excellent future planned for it. Hope it goes good.

Very cool! I love to see old cars res erected. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks for the props fella's.

I do have some pretty big plans for it, possibly a 10.5 outlaw car. Single turbo set up of course. Most of the hard work is already done with good parts, so it just a matter of putting a good engine combo together.

The car should be here this evening or first thing in the morning. The shipper are running a bit late, they called around 11am today and said they just left Houston, TX

Anwhow just as well, I would hate to start this thing up late at night and mess around backing it off the trailer. My neighbors would kill me!!!

Are you going to keep it strictly as a drag car and keep the interior bare? Or will you be installing stuff to make it look a little more homely?


Nice car though. I wish you luck on your journey into the 10 second club.

Good questions

Ohhh yeah, the interior will be a lil more homely as you put it, and it will be streetable. :wink:

All the original interior comes with the car and the seats (Buckets)are newly reopolstured. So, it will be looking like stock again for the most part. All the electronics will be will be hidden and all new Autometer gauges will be installed. Carpet for the car is already on the way too, should be here soon. Rear drums will be converted to disc, waiting to see what parts I will need. but, most parts are already there. The break system will be upgraded, this is also on top of my list of to do's. Gotta get rid of that factory stock stuff.

It should be a fun project, just need some time to get'er done. It's mostly a weekend project for now.
