1957 Buick Special - Superb One-of-a-Kind custom build, now for sale from our Sydney showroom

With its low-slung unmistakable silhouette, three-piece rear window, massive front bumper and grille, and iconic Buick VentiPorts, the 1957 Buick Special is already a design legend. 

Now enhanced with a breath-taking custom 2-pac glass paint finish, a hand-trimmed Nappa leather interior, and a symphonic 572ci GM crate big-block engine in a joint build by Andy's Restorations and Maskell's Customs, this example stands as a true show-stopping masterpiece, and YES, it's fully engineered! 
Over $500,000 (yes, all receipted!) has been invested throughout a meticulous five-year build, resulting in a road-going work of art that represents the absolute pinnacle of custom craftsmanship. This Buick is nothing short of perfection on four wheels.

Proudly displayed at last year's Hot Rod & Custom Auto Expo at Rosehill Gardens this outstanding head turner now presents a rare opportunity to acquire an amazing custom show piece. 

More than $200,000 alone has been invested in the bespoke 2-pac paint with a 2% glass additive, delivering an unrivalled crystal-clear finish. Finished in a stunning Emerald Metallic Green, the colour perfectly accentuates the Buick's flowing lines and timeless presence. 

Working closely together Andy's Restorations and Maskell's Customs completed a full chassis-off, bare-metal custom build, fully documented with an extensive picture portfolio. The project began with an excellent original Buick body, and no expense was spared at any stage to achieve this flawless result. Some of the key specs include:
