1950 Buick with a Cummins 6BT Inline-Six

1950 Buick with a turbo 6BT diesel inline-six

This 1950 Buick was built by Old Buzzard’s Rustorations in Mount Pleasant, Tennessee. Under the hood sits a turbocharged 5.9 L Cummins 6BT inline-six connected to a 47RE four-speed automatic transmission. The engine and transmission came from an old school bus, the chassis and suspension from a 1988 Chevy Caprice and the rear axle and brakes came from a 1995 Impala SS. The combo makes for a very interesting project that gets 26 mpg on the highway.
