February 7, 200620 yr http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.co.../3/81544563.htm whats with the cop search lights? Spotlights were a popular customizing trick (factory option?) in the '50s, I think.. I wonder if they are functional..
February 7, 200620 yr Be still my heart!!! I've got to go check on that lottery ticket from this saturday. If I had the money this baby would be in my possesion in a heartbeat! Thanks a lot Capriceman! I know the Electra 225 is by far more desirable but the black Invicta is calling to me. The INVICTA name is so very cool. Sounds like a Vietnam-era Jet fighter or something. Needs TLC: Less than $4000... damn I'm tempted to buy a plane ticket to Calif. Alabama: $2750... "needs brakes". I'm on my way. Plane ticket in hand and 5 quarts of brake fluid, steel line cutter/flange tool kit and 40 feet of lines in my suitcase. Edited February 7, 200620 yr by Sixty8panther
February 7, 200620 yr Author The INVICTA name is so very cool. Sounds like a Vietnam-era Jet fighter or something I agree! The name Invicta sounds Bi-Polar, One sides like an Agressive street dominator, the other a Calm road conquering machine. Yeah I dont have the time for one of these projects. New project coming soon!! The Old 572 Scottesdale sold for $115,000. So the Breakdown Parts are paid for I got 7,500 in cash. the Body work/painter got $5000 and the the rest wen to assorted Charities. I think $67,000 went to charities as an estimate. One thing I heard Is that it might envolve a shinny LS2 or maybe a LS7. Since I got some books on the Electronics of those engines in the mail. The Car might be a 70's Pontiac If i get some info I tell you guys. so you can be jealous :AH-HA_wink:
February 8, 200620 yr I think there was a British fighter jet called the Invicta. Very cold war era sounding name.
February 8, 200620 yr Author I think it was a Airline company not a plane Wheres FlyBrian when you need him? Doesn't he know alot about planes and stuff. Edited February 8, 200620 yr by capriceman
February 8, 200620 yr Sorry, guys, no dice. There was an off-and-on Invicta car company in England, but nothing in terms of aircraft or weapons systems military or civilian. Buick did have some shared jetage nomenclature. There were Lockheed Electras - pre-war Model 10 and postwar L-188s - that are still used by the U.S. Navy as P-3 Orions and North American F-86 Sabre, namesake of the '51 concept and the '59 everyone loves. Another Vietnam-jet-shared Buick name is of the McDonnell-Douglas A-4 Skyhawk light attack plane.

February 8, 200620 yr One of the greatest paintings of all time. Makes Mona Lisa, Starry Night & TGhe Scream look amateurish. I borrowed this off Buick-59.com... asked permisions, don't worry. Edited February 8, 200620 yr by Sixty8panther
February 8, 200620 yr Check out the April issue of Collectible Automobile..they have a good article on the '59-63 Invictas.
