Normally this 1962 Buick Invicta Wagon isn’t anything special but RideTech have made this one look stunning. They have called it the AirWagon and has a really cool deep two tone blue color scheme done by Sikkens. It’s a bit of a Marmite car you’ll either love it or hate it but I felt it worthy of a post on Moto Verso. Another nice touch is the modern matte silver bumpers and exterior trim transforms the normal Invicta into a super cool ride. Several hundred hours of blocking and paint prep have made the AirWagon flat and smooth. All engineering, fabrication, paint and bodywork, wiring, interior work, and assembly was performed by the craftsmen at Precision Coachworks in Jasper, Indiana.
The lowered stance of the AirWagon is accomplished through a complete ShockWave™ / CoolRide™ air suspension system from Ridetech. The new RidePro e™ computerized compressor system incorporates a remote control and the optional LevelPro auto leveling system. The AirWagon automatically inflates to a pre-programmed air pressure every time the car is started which is really cool. I really like the rims they have fitted to the Invicta, they have a classic vintage look but also a modern appearance. The shear length of the car makes it look even better especially when it’s parked up and the air suspension is down.
Jasper Engines and Transmissions has rebuilt the original 401 cu” Nailhead engine and supplied a 700R4 overdrive transmission to make the long highway seem much shorter. A Holley 950 Commander throttle body EFI system and a MSD Buick distributor are major power upgrades. A custom serpentine belt drive was fabricated using March pulleys. It is all kept cool by a Be Cool aluminum radiator with a Spal electric fan. Billet Specialties 18×8 SLD89 soft lip Vintec wheels and Nitto 255-45/18 555 series tires are stopped by a 4 wheel disc brake system from Stainless Steel Brake Corporation.
