its for sale so ill stick an ad in the for sale section, but wondered if anyone knows anything about this car

Deffo looks like a Rv8, 99.99% sure it is, There are some small block Buicks, but realy rare in ths country,

I would guess its a short water pumped RV8, probably 3.5, or a 3.9, have a look by the dip stick, there should be some engine numbers visable on the machined face of the block, including compression ratio, let me know what they are and I can tell you exactly what the engine came out of
