Sorry for the long winded post...BUT READ IT! thanks in advance..lol

I just picked up my 1940 Buick Special from Mo's Speed Shop today! Let me first tell yall...this is WAY more than just a car to me. It was my grandpa's car for 40+ years and he was the second owner of the car. The car is all orignal/never been restored and has been around through A LOT of good and bad times! As my Grandpa's health has declined over the years, so has the car, unfortunately. The car had been sitting for probably 10 years or so UNTIL...

Marty personally picked it up from my Grandparents house in early Sept. The car was not running and had been sitting for many years. I asked Marty to pick it up, get it running and make sure it was safe to drive. They went over the car thuroughly...methodically addressing issues as they arose...

Well Marty told me last week that the car should be ready by this Friday which was GREAT news. However, I explained that if possible, I would like to be able to have the car ready to surprise my Grandparents by picking them up for Thanksgiving dinner in the car. He informed me yesterday that the car was ready and I could pick it up today.

I picked it up this afternoon and could not be happier with it! It drives like a damn new car...but its like going back in time when you get in it. I cant stop smiling once I fire it up....get soooo many looks/thumbs up/kids pointing/etc in this thing. The guys at the shop did an amazing job with the car and I cant thank them enough. As ive said before...My cars will not be worked on ANYWHERE besides Mo's as long as I can help it.

:hail:Thanks Marty, Jeff, Brandon, Jimbo and anyone else that helped with the car. My grandparents are going to loose it tomorrow when I show up driving the ole Buick:headbang:

It is going to look nice in the garage beside the Cobra too:grin:

Anyways...I'll shut up and post some pics I snapped today.

Let me know what yall think:oldschool:

Well done Marty. That is a fine looking automobile you guys brought back to life. :2thumbs:

One last thought regarding Mo's SPEED SHOP, It is not bragging when it is a fact ;)
 
Very Well done Martin - I wish I lived closer!
Another 10 years to retirement for me then maybe a relocation is in order!

Andy has orders to get us those photos!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting his Grandpa -- imagine how much I enjoyed a guy who has owned the same car for 40 years!!!
 
I've been to Marty's house & garage once, I cannot believe anything he would put his name to would be less than 200%. This car probably looks and runs 1000% better than the pictures describe.

Cool..I look forward to seeing them. Since Grandpa wrenched on this for 40 years.........I'm sure he'll also appreciate all the work(love) you guys put into it.
Andy is still local this weekend right? Is he driving this back to Augusta?
I will miss drooling over this every time I visit:drool:
 
Great looking car. Is that a straight 8? I like those big ole cars; they are so roomy inside.
Congratulations on a nice job of revitalization. Bet that guy's Grandparents will be thrilled.

The straight 8 runs like a sewing machine. It is so quiet you hardly know it is running!!!
