1956 Buick Special with a LS3 V8
This 1956 Buick Special was sent to All Speed Customs in Muskegon Heights, Michigan for a powertrain upgrade. The company started by installing a 6.2 L LS3 V8 with a American Autowire Highway 22 wiring harness and custom stainless steel exhaust. The rest of the drivetrain comprises of an automatic transmission and Ford 9-inch rear end. They also improved handling thanks to a Fat Man Fabrication front frame with tubular control arms and a RideTech universal 4-link rear suspension. A set of Detroit Steel wheels cover Wilwood disc brakes and RideTech adjustable coilovers on each corner.

The one on the menu today (it would seem we show at least one C10 each day, doesn’t it?) is a 1964 model year, part of the first generation of the famous bowtie half-ton. Like most others of its breed, this one, too, is no longer as it was when it rolled off production lines. Unlike most others, though, it cost about a quarter of a million dollars to make.
That’s how much we’re told was invested in this. The project is the work of a shop called All Speed Customs, a Michigan-based enterprise used to giving life to new to old cars and trucks. And for all intents and purposes, most of those greens seem to have been worth the investment.
