Buick Roadmaster Wagon
The legendary Roadmaster name returned to Buick’s lineup in 1991 after a 33-year-long hiatus. The car was the same as other offerings from General Motors in the same class. However, the Roadmaster had some more luxury options and one exciting engine, which turned this comfy cruiser into a muscle car (via Bloomberg).
Buick engineers found a way to install Corvette’s LT1 5.7-liter V8 engine into the Roadmaster’s engine bay. The LT1 had 300 HP in the Corvette, and in the Buick, it had 260 HP, which was more than enough to turn this heavy wagon into a proper hot rod. Despite the curb weight of over 4400 pounds, this car could outrun many of the muscle cars of the day.
