1939 Buick Series 40 Business Coupé Custom Car (6.3 litre) | Historics Auctioneers | 28th November

This eye-catching 1939 Buick 40 Series Coupé custom car presents a rare opportunity for collectors and hot rod enthusiasts alike. Finished in high-impact bright yellow paintwork contrasted by a classic black interior, this unique build perfectly blends pre-war classic styling with modern American muscle. At its heart lies a potent 6300cc (383ci) US V8 Stroker petrol engine equipped with fuel injection for modern reliability, coupled to a robust GM Turbo 350 three-speed automatic transmission.

Underneath the striking bodywork, the mechanical footprint has been thoroughly upgraded to deliver impressive road manners, featuring a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro front clip, power steering, a heavy-duty Ford nine-inch rear axle, and a sure-footed four-wheel disc brake setup. This highly engineered custom cruiser is offered with an extensive paperwork file including its original US title, official UK import HMRC documentation, various invoices, and a comprehensive set of handwritten technical build notes that chart its creation. Registered as a Historic Vehicle, this exceptional Buick is both MoT and tax exempt in the UK, making it fully prepared for immediate turn-key enjoyment, local meets, or long-distance cruising.
