I've always been a Buick, Olds,

Pontiac, & Chevy fan.


I grew up driving full size

rear wheel drive GM cars...

 

Photobucket

 

When Chevrolet reintroduced

the Impala SS in 1994,

I thought GM nailed it.  

The LT1, leather interior,

center console, 17" wheels, etc...


Do you remember the Darth Vader ads?

These ads were great!

road_monster's 1994 Buick Roadmaster

 

 

What I have done is to build

what I think the

Buick Motorsports Division

"might have built"

if they were to build a

Gran Sport Roadmaster

back in 1994 when GM

reintroduced the Impala SS.




Photobucket

 

I tried to keep the Gran Sport Theme

true to the great

Gran Sports of the '60's & '70's.

 

road_monster's 1994 Buick Roadmaster
 
There are a lot of custom parts,

and a lot of modifications,

  all of which were available

in the mid-nineties.

I hope you enjoy looking at my project.

She was fun to build.

She's a blast to drive too!

man i dont even know where to start because im in shock over your car. I wish gm could start making these roadmasters again so they could build it just like yours, the right way it should have been done from the start! i see we will have a similar setup with the twin induction. i had no idea about you or your car and mods, then i ran across your page and it was like the gods were talkin to me. im really glad i have found you and im sure i'll have a few questions for you as i start my lt1 build and completing my mods. you have the best looking LT1 engine in the world in my opinion and i'll have the 2nd lol.make sure you check my ride out and tell me what you think because i'll be waiting. 1 million stars for you
