This isn't just any Buick; it belonged to the legendary voice of the NHRA, Dave McClelland. Muscle Car Of The Week Host Kevin Oeste worked with Dave on Hot Rod Magazine TV years ago, and seeing this car brings back incredible memories of road trips, production shoots, and the stories shared along the way. In this video, we dive into the details of this iconic muscle car, including: * The history of Dave’s modifications for reliable pump-gas power. * A technical look at the GS 455 engine, including its unique hood air induction and California emissions equipment. * Chassis dyno results that showcase the impressive torque this 8.5:1 compression motor produces. The tasteful upgrades, including Global West suspension and Baer brakes, that make this a true "driver's" muscle car. It is truly special to see this car preserved and cared for by friends of the hobby today. If you love classic muscle, the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals is a must-attend event where you never know what history you might run into! ## Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals https://www.mcacn.com Chapters: 0:00 - A Surreal Find at MCACN 0:58 - Kevin's Connection to Dave McClelland 1:53 - Under the Hood: Engine Specs & Modifications 2:33 - California Emissions & Unique Details 3:01 - Chassis Dyno Results 3:45 - Suspension and Performance Upgrades 4:15 - Memories of the Road 5:02 - Preserving a Legend ## V8 Speed and Resto Shop 817 S.
