No commentsClassy Buick!
You have to see this car to believe it. It’s a rare 1950 Buick Sedanet that Courtney shows off on November 22 & 23. Owner Roy Paxton found parts of it in a field, parts in a barn and other parts under other cars. He took it back home to his old Indiana garage and with the help of friend and mentor Mike Norton, they restored it back to what you see today. It has a 502 Ram Jet, it’s bagged on all four corners, the doors and deck lid have been shaved, it has a gorgeous leather interior and all original gauges. This is one sharp classic custom.

This is the latest for serious haulers who want to tow their race car, RV, boat, or horse trailer…and do it in style! To say the least, these are the BMW’s of the truck world. Also called , these Sport Chassis trucks are designed for the guy who drives long distances and wants total comfort with leather interior, GPS navigation, DVD and beefy Bilstein shocks for a smooth ride. They start at $140,000 and come with a 350 horse Cummin’s 8.3 liter power plant that makes 1000 foot pounds of torque. An upgraded model has a Mercedes 450 horse engine that makes 1,550 foot pounds of torque and can tow 26,000lbs! Salesman David Tenpenny from Sundowner Trailer Centers In Kingston Springs, TN joins Courtney to explain all the benefits. You can check out all their models at www.sundownertrailercenters.com.

Check out the 1970 Dodge Super Bee Courtney features on The PowerBlock this weekend November 8 & 9. The color is classic Mopar; Plum Crazy Purple. It’s powered by a 300 horse Magnum 383 with Ram Charger set up and those air scoops work! It’s got a Hurst pistol grip, Rally gauges, Tic Toc Tac and vintage 8-track. The guys at Team Witt in Franklin, TN spent 3 years restoring the classic muscle car. They’ve got a great photo gallery of their work at: www.teamwittcustoms.com
