A vintage Buick convertible is up for grabs with upgrades like a Vortec V8 engine, air suspension, and disc brakes in an impressive no-reserve auction post.
A 1947 Buick Super Convertible Originally symbolic of America’s postwar optimism, it has been carefully re-envisioned for contemporary times and will now be offered without reserve.
Presented from The Burnyzz Collection This customized restomod preserves its elegant 1940s silhouette and Art Deco design while incorporating modern power and tech under its timeless exterior. Previously driven by a 248-cubic-inch inline eight engine, this Buick Super now features a fuel-injected 6.0-liter GM Vortec V8 paired with a 4L80E four-speed overdrive automatic transmission.
Improving drivability comes through fitting a complete air-ride suspension system alongside power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes. This configuration guarantees a contemporary riding experience along with reliable braking capability—quite an upgrade from its initial design in the 1940s.
Completed in an authentic shade, the automobile's finish showcases slight indications of wear, such as tiny nicks above the windscreen frame, but remains largely without significant flaws. Inside, the cabin has undergone a refurbishment featuring luxurious dark brown leather seats, Vintage Air air conditioning for comfort, and a discreetly installed JVC KS-RF150 sound system that preserves the vintage ambiance while offering contemporary audio enjoyment.
The recognizable "waterfall" grille and distinctive stylistic elements of Buick persist, maintaining an eternal profile with a striking visual impact on the road. Although this model initially garnered attention in the post-war era due to its robust build and luxurious detailing, its updated mechanics guarantee that it is more than merely visually appealing—it’s also a pleasure to drive.
