Eric Barth, of Warsaw, Indiana, is a young builder who spent 3 years building his '55 Buick Special. Fitted with a 400-horse, 383 small-block and a 700R4 trans, the big Buick rolls on a full Air Ride Technologies bag system and 18- and 20-inch Intro wheels. Scott's Hot Rods created the indy front end while a Ford 9-inch does duty out back. A full leather interior features a huge stereo system, and the exterior was painted BMW green and GM pewter.
