Model history

The Buick Special was first introduced in 1936 as Buick's entry-level model and developed over decades into an integral part of the brand. After a brief hiatus, it returned in 1961 as a mid-range model and was available in various body styles. In the 1960s, the Special introduced the newly developed V6 engine, which was later used throughout the group. From 1970 onwards, the Special was no longer offered as a standalone model, but the name lived on as an equipment line in later model series.

    Guten Abend. Da der Milenstand nicht stimmen kann würde ich gerne wissen wieweit Motor und Getriebe original sind. Danke im voraus

      Hallo franziskus1209, wir haben mit dem Verkäufer Rücksprache gehalten. Da der Meilenzähler nur fünfstellig ist, geht der Verkäufer davon aus, dass der Wagen 104.131 Meilen gelaufen hat. Motor und Getriebe sind noch original. Der Motor wurde vermutlich in den USA bereits revidiert, da u.a. die Ölwanne neu aussieht und der Motor keinerlei Ölverbrauch sowie einen außergewöhnlich guten Lauf aufweist. Beste Grüße - Kickdown Team

      Technik: Nach nur zwei Jahren Pause erschien ein neuer Special auf der nagelneuen, wesentlich kleineren GM-Y-Plattform. Der Radstand war mit 2845 mm kleiner als beim letzten Modell der Serie 40. Die Wagen mit den in den breiten Kühlergrill eingesetzten Doppelscheinwerfern waren als zweitüriges Coupé, viertürige Limousine und fünftüriger Kombi zu haben. Es gab einfacher ausgestattete Special Standard-Modelle und besser ausgestattete Special Deluxe-Modelle. Neu war ein „kleiner“ V8-Motor aus Aluminium mit 3523 cm³ Hubraum und einer Leistung von 155 PS (114 kW). Die Rechte an diesem Motor wurden 1965 von Automobilhersteller Rover übernommen, der ihn von 1967 bis 2004 baute und zunächst in seinen Modellen P5B und P6B („B“ steht je für Buick) einsetzte. LG Tom
