I am in Youngstown Ohio
BTW I took the Buick to the dealership to test drive a Charger. I told the salesman if he could beat the Buick with a Hellcat I would buy it lol. We got to talking and the sales rep and the owner are both interested in the Buick and may actually take it in on trade!
BTW I would have smoked the Hellcat pretty good especially on street tires. Although four doors, heated seats, Bluetooth cupholder and warranty are tough to beat lol!!!!

A few more details on the car.
Motor: Girdled 109 with stoker crank, 6.300 rods Venolia pistons 9:1 CR
Biller roller ATR cam 214/210 Hyd comp lifters
Heads, Iron 8445 with 1.83/1.60 valves with an insane amount of custom port work and custom shaft mount T&D roller rockers and large diameter springs.
ARP head bolts and Cometics
Ported champion intake and 62mm TB
PTE 6765 turbo, Maybe a 6768 not sure (pic has old TA66 qtrim)
3" G body parts TH style down pipe
ATR 3" cross flow exhaust
TA Stainless Steel headers 3 bolt headers
Red Double pumper with 80# injectors
Accel DFI with WBO2 and all functions set up and working with drive ability and start up better than factory ECM
Razors Alky dual nozzle injection
CAS stock location IC (took a hit loading onto a trailer and is not in the best of shape but still functional)
EAS Stage 3 200r4 with billet stuff and cast alum pan
Bradco non-lock up converter car spools fast and converter is tight on big end.
HR parts UC and LC with HR parts anti-roll bar in rear and CE shocks and drop springs
2" drop spindles stock springs in front with Koni shocks
Custom TA rims that had center cut and moved to fit the front with drop spindles. All rims were completely repainted and refinished and I have 2 spare fronts
Pioneer 1.5 DIN stereo with RF comp front and 6x9 rear speakers
The car is completely new all new trim seals and many many many NOS parts you can no longer buy went into the resto. Paint and body along with metallics in the paint are near perfect. One small paint chip in the top of the pass door from when I was putting it back together and dropped a wrench no dings dents scratches etc anywhere else.
The car was exceptionally clean to begin with and still wears all of its original sheet metal with the exception of the front bumper and filler panels. There were no holes or patches in the t-roof as it was also rust free.
Small issues, it leaks oil which drives me nuts but its a Buick and you would think I would understand this after 27 years of messing with them. Passenger T-top has some scratches in the glass. All other glass is mint and I actually put brand new side glass in which looks really good. Windshield is original and has British of Columbia parking sticker which I wanted to leave as the car is originally a Canadian model with climate control in Celsius and dash in Km.
I had the car on the track once at BG in 2012 and it ran 11.00@122 on a very easy foot brake launch and 20 psi Tune up and driveabliity are second to none. This car will EASILY run low 10s like it is but the rearend and driveshaft are stock and I did not want to tear up the car on the track. I do have a 30 spline carrier with billet yoke and Moser axles and driveshaft loop all new in the box I had planned to put on the car.
I also have more parts and crap for the car I can not remember but will include.
The guy in Florida with the 1200 mile Hellcat is calling me again so if I can get something done soon I will jump. If I sit on the car I will just keep it. I spent hundreds of hours on the resto and well over $50k to get the car to this point.

Going Going........
Had someone come and look at the car today and then spent an hour listening to my buddy Ray telling me I am nuts for selling it lol. Seriously if it doesn't move "fast" I'm going to keep it and move on with the Hellcat idea. I do have a few things I would like to do to it over the winter and I would love to make it out to the track again and maybe even a Buick event.
