In 1989 I bought my first Buick, a 72 GS Stage 1 Sun Coupe. While performing
the restoration I ran into several roadblocks and general frustration with the
lack of correct replacement parts for the Buick GS models. So I started Caruso
Performance and Restoration.
I am dedicated to producing the best quality parts and services possible for
reasonable prices.
My first product was the tailpipe hangers for 71-72 cars with the N-25 thru
the bumper exhaust extensions. I have made over 100 sets since 1994.
These can be made in sizes up to 3 inch. I can also rebuild your originals.
For Pontiac GTO owners I make tailpipe hangers for the 72 GTO with
chrome splitter tips.
Recently I’ve added paint marked upper (72 455) and lower (71 –74 455) air
injection reactor pumps, and the foam insulator for the heater hose near the
upper AC bracket. Also available is the drive belt from the electric motor to
the transmission on power bucket seat cars. Other parts are in development
and will be introduced soon.
My full time occupation as an Automotive Engineer gives me access to many
manufacturers of components and materials, some of which were the OEM
suppliers when our cars were new.
As a small company I do not have the resources to do large projects such as
sheet metal, but if you have suggestions and there is a need I will consider
other projects.
