Modified Buick Roadmaster Gran Sport 1994 Pictures 
gallery (17 photos)
Summary:
When GM reintroduced the mighty Impala SS back in 1994, the Buick guys didn`t get a Gran Sport model. The 1994-1996 Caprices, Impalas, and Roadmasters all share the same chassis and drivetrain.
Buick didn`t build a Roadmonster Gran Sport, so I did.
I`ve spent a lot on this build, with an emphasis on keeping the interior and the exterior clean and simple.
In the engine bay however, I`ve taken it way beyond the "factory could have built it theme".
The RoadMonster is clean and mean. She is fast and handles very well.
I`ve upgraded the brakes and entire suspension to enable to make the car handle the extra power. This car is not all about going fast in a straight line. I want the car to do everything well.
She is an excellent road car capable of cruising at triple digit speeds, all day long, without breaking a sweat.
The RoadMonster has won over twenty trophies, including several best in class, two best engine awards, etc.
She recently won Texaco`s 1990`s Car of the Decades contest, and was "Showoff Of The Week" on CarDomain.
In addition, she was invited to the 4th Annual Invitational Salem Roadster Show, which is the pinnacle of her car show career so far...
