          1960 Buick Invicta 4 Door Hard Top

                                      401 C.I. Nailhead V-8

                                       325 H.P/445 FT. TQ

                                   2-Speed Dyna Flow Trans

 

                                      

 

The car is 100% original except for the paint and has under 60,000 original miles. My great-grandfather bought the car new in 1960 and it remained in service until the early 70's when it was moth-balled and put into a barn on the family farm until 1986 when the Farm was sold.

 

                                      

 

Around 1990 it was stored again until 2007 when it was pulled out of storage and thoroughly 'gone through'. New belts, hoses, brakes, tires, shocks, exhaust and a complete re-paint. The chrome and stainless trim has survived very well over the years and didn't need to replaced or re-surfaced.

 

                                    

 

There is one dent in the driver's side of the rear bumper that I would like to replace or repair, if anyone has any suggestions on where to find a bumper I would love to hear them.

Under the hood could use some re-freshing but this is not necessarily a 'show' car. Everything that was under the hood when it rolled off the assembly line is still there and in it's proper place.

**I will get more pictures up as soon as I can, the car is currently in storage.

Great looking 60 Buick,i miss the cars of my youth when each car looked different and had some style! I love the pics of the show car and all the advertisements,i'll have to keep checking back,i'm glad you saved it from the barn so others can enjoy.

Your Buick looks great. I like the original style of these old cars and trucks. My 68 ford f-100 has orig miles also. It would be hard to do any custom touches to these gems. I have not seem anything close to yours. I have always like the Pontiac Catalinas is this the sister to it? Its a 5 for sure.
