    Wild Supercharged ’86 Buick (1100 Horsepower)

    I couldn’t help but share this video. This car is 1100 hp supercharged. In my opinion, it’s what dreams are made of haha. I have an 86 Oldsmobile so this year of the car holds a special spot in my heart. And for anybody that doesn’t know anything from 78 to 88 that was made by General Motors is considered a G body. This includes Pontiac Grand Prix, Oldsmobile Cutlass, Chevy Monte Carlo, Buick Riviera, the grand national, or the T type, as well as the El Camino’s of all different kinds now there are a few variations frame and body type over the years but essentially an 86 Buick T type is the same frame originally that my car would’ve been on.

    However, there is nothing about this car that’s related to anything I’ve ever sat in. In the video, the owner who is also piloting this beast describes, that he blew up the original motor while using it for autocross. He says this crazy one-of-a-kind car project just snowballed after he decided to do an LS swap with supercharger. It is also a full-weight car at roughly 3800 pounds as well as it has huge 335 tires on all four corners, a full roll cage, and a sequential six-speed gearbox. As you’ll see in this awesome video this guy absolutely rips through the years and can seemingly smoke the tires that will.

    Which for me is so fun and did I mention it’s a completely street-legal car?

    1946 Ford

    This beauty is Bob Collins’ Custom 1946 Ford.

    Glade green pearl by House of kolor

    This is a beautiful custom job for this 46 Ford. It seems like everything imaginable has been done to this car. When I spoke to Bob he gave me the rundown.

    It’s a 350 Chevy motor with a turbo 350 transmission and an 8 inch Ford rear end. It cruises down the road and Highway comfortably what’s 3.00 gears.

    350 Chev Small Block

    It was built by a hot rodder in New York between 2010-2016 by two separate guys. ( If I could find the names of the original builders I’ll give them credit here later on).

    It has air ride suspension and killer suicide doors. And the special awesome paint is called Glade green pearl by House of kolor

    • 1946 Ford

    The second of the two builders shaved all the bumpers, handles and signal lights. He also frenched in the headlights and suicide doors.

    This beauty is absolute one-of-a-kind and thank you to Bob for letting me do a piece on it.

    As I say with everything that I do I will hopefully do a follow-up on this down the road.

    • Column Shifter modified to be paddle shifter
    • 373 Posi Trac 12 Bolt Rearend
    • 14-inch disc brakes all around
    • 6 piston calipers

    This all-white two-door beauty was at the Vancouver Auto Show and it was built by Jellybean Autocrafters in Surrey. I’ve written a list of what’s all been done. Here are a few highlights. An all-aluminum 427 ZL1 engine mated to a 6-speed automatic with 3.73 posi rear-end, dual adjustable shocks the quality on this build when seen up close, is awesome.
    Now onto the classic stuff. This car started out as a “348 3 on the tree”. Which essentially meant the 348 cubic inch engine with a 3-speed manual transmission and the 3-speed was a column shift. Unlike today’s cars where the shifter is on the floor. The column shift was converted to paddle- shift. (Which is simply cool!)
    I wanted to do a piece on this car. Because it’s my dad’s favorite. And it is also one of the rarest Chevrolet bodies ever made. 1961 was the only year made with the back window looking the way that it looked. 1960 and 1962 were different than the 61 models.
