LOOK BUT YOU WILL NEVER FIND another, like this Kustom car anywhere . One of a kind super build that really shows well and always takes home the prize  at any car show.  This is a great driver as well and gets good gas mileage . 
 
The 53 Buick body started out as a two door hard top which has been modified to fit the 1993 Buick  Road Master drive train which was selected and grafted with the 53 body, and very nicely I might add. Sooo you have all the modern  traits with anti lock brakes, fuel injection , over drive trans, power steering, and power disk front brakes.

The all steel body was shaved, chopped, Frenched, and lowered for a bad ass look.  Halogen headlights, LED ‘59 Caddy tail lights, Kustom gas filler, shaved door handles with Frenched tail lights and antenna.   Kustom stainless steel exhaust tips, Dayton wire wheels with 3” Diamondback whitewalls, a removable Carson style top used for inclement weather  has snap on convertible style boot.  Painted 2002 Corvette Torch Red.  

The engine is a ZZ4-350, with custom intake which covers the throttle body fuel injection 4-barrell, carb, computer controlled, factory air conditioning, overflow can. Factory everything else.

The interior using 1966 Thunderbird bucket seats and wrap around rear seat in leather with matching seatbelts.  Carpet is Corvette color to match paint.  A late model Cadillac Escalade console, modified to fit at dash with working air for rear passengers.  A Sony sound system keeps you smiling as the miles roll by.  The steering column down  is the 93, as well as the floorboard, chassis and all stock runner underneath. A 7” touch screen navigation system, which is removable for other vehicle use. One-off Kustom steering wheel from Concept To Reality Company, 5” dolphin gauges, power windows, key fob door locks and trunk, one remote button underneath car for access without key.

Do not bid if your wife does not approve about spending this money.
Do not bid if you do not want a bad ass looking car.

I am a long time E-Bayer and have bought and sold cars here and I really hate having to move this one on but health forces sale.  A couple of things need attention:  speedometer hookup (loose wire?), backwards fuel gauge reading. Horn just stopped working (relay?)

GM program sees dealers taking on way more loaner cars

Wed, Dec 17 2014

Given the volume of vehicles we're talking about, this is a significant development for GM's bottom line. Bring your car into the dealership for service, and you may need a loaner car in exchange. And with so many recalls being carried out, that means a lot of loaners – especially at General Motors dealerships. That could be one of the reasons why GM is massively expanding its loaner fleet program. While many Chevrolet and Buick-GMC dealerships have an on-site rental car location operated by a third party like Enterprise (which may or may not provide a GM vehicle), others manage their own loaner fleets. But while the range of dealerships operating such fleets was once small, reports Automotive News, the number has been growing rapidly: from the locations responsible for only 20 percent of those brands' sales two years ago to about 90 percent today. The impetus for that growth comes down to a massive expansion of GM's Courtesy Transportation Program. The initiative encourages dealers to ramp up their loaner fleet to a maximum size determined by GM, with a mix determined by the dealer itself, so that a showroom in Texas can be bolstered with a fleet of pickup trucks and a dealer in California can employ more Volt and Camaro Convertible loaners. The dealership gets a $500 credit for each vehicle its puts in its fleet, and can use those vehicles as loaners for service customers, as multi-day test drivers or to rent out separately. The vehicles remain in the dealer's fleet for 90 days or 7,500 miles, then they can be sold as used, but with new-car incentives. The dealer gets a fleet of loaners, customers get to use the loaners, try out a new car overnight or buy a barely used car with attractive incentives, and GM gets to clock more sales. But therein lies the kicker: the automaker counts the dispatch of the loaner new vehicle to the dealership as a new-car sale, which could end up distorting its sales figures. Counting loaner vehicles as sold vehicles is something of an industry-standard practice, but given the volume of vehicles we're talking about, this is a significant development for GM's bottom line. One dealership - Paddock Chevrolet in Kenmore, NY, for example - had no loaner fleet two years ago, but now runs a fleet of 50 vehicles. Multiply that by the 4,000 or so dealers GM has across America and you're talking about the potential for hundreds of thousands of these sorts of sales.

2013 Buick Encore

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Ignored On Arrival, But Coming On Strong
An image exists out there that perfectly conveys the fate we thought would befall the Buick Encore after its world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shot shows the just-unveiled Encore on stage, basking in the glow of spotlights but surrounded by a large display area that's bereft of both cars and people. Two journalists are sitting on a couch over to the side, both facing the Encore but ignoring it as they inspect their swag, and a solitary custodial engineer pushes a vacuum back and forth across a sea of gray carpet.
Like a kid with his birthday cake at a party no one came to, this little crossover's debut was largely, almost cruelly, ignored. Who can blame us, though? Two shows ago, the Motor City's main stage welcomed the redesigned Aston Martin-esque Ford Fusion, the 3 Series-assassin ATS from Cadillac and the return of Dodge to the small car game with the Dart. A fourth model for the wayward Buick brand, especially one so arguably un-Buick in form and function, did not seem to deserve the attention paid to its peers that year.

Buick begins offering 24-hour test drives

Mon, Jul 20 2015

Even as the year's sales charts show a decline, Buick says its brand image is improving. To bolster that soft metric while it works on overhauling its lineup - consumers are clamoring for more crossovers - the brand will begin offering overnight test drives as of July 23. Buick trialled the program in Phoenix and got a good response, so it rolls out as an ad-supported nationwide campaign called "24 Hours of Happiness" as of July 22. The push is on probation for three months while Buick evaluates it, but they expect it to continue beyond 90 days. Cars will be sourced from the loaner fleets that dealers offer customers whose cars are in for service, so only dealers with such fleets will be able to participate. General Motors did the same thing in 2003 and 2004, at the time saying it led to more than 500,000 "extended" test drives and close to 190,000 sales. That program had a cash component, in that buyers were offered $250 if they chose a non-GM vehicle after their test drive. 24 Hours of Happiness won't come with any inducements; Buick is taking the long view, positioning this as support for the brand instead of as bait for immediate returns. The Phoenix dealer who ran the program first said that it got fewer bites than he expected, but that customers who took a car home "were far more likely to buy the vehicle." Cue the Regal GS hooning in three, two... Related Video:
