UP FOR SALE - THIS VERY NICE 1955 BUICK SPECIAL 2 DOOR SEDAN. THIS WAS A FATHER-DAUGHTER PROJECT WHICH WAS STARTED AND NEARLY DONE WHEN THE FATHER PASSED AWAY. IT IS A MUCH DESIRED 2 DOOR SEDAN, WITH THE NAILHEAD V-8 ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ENGINE RUNS WELL ON A HOSE AND CAN (THE FUEL TANK WAS TAKEN OUT, AND IS NOT WITH THE CAR. I AM TOLD THAT THE BUICK'S SHARE THE SAME TANK AS A '55 & '6 CHEVY WHICH CAN BE HAD CHEAP). THE TRANSMISSION MOVES THE CAR, BUT SINCE THE BRAKES NEED WORK, I DID NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE IT. THE DOOR HANDLES AND TRUNK LOCK HAVE BEEN SHAVED, AND, THERE IS A ENTIRELY NEW KIT INCLUDED FOR ELECTRIC "POPPERS" WITH TWO REMOTE CONTROL KEY FOBS. ALSO INCLUDED ARE TWO NEW DRIVING LIGHTS WHICH WILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED. I PUT THE LIGHTS IN THE FRONT BUMPER JUST FOR PHOTO PURPOSED. THE CAR APPEARS TO BE VERY, VERY STRAIGHT. THERE IS NO DAMAGE SEEN ANYWHERE. BUMPERS ARE SO-SO BUT RELATIVELY STRAIGHT. THE GLASS IS EXCELLENT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DRIVERS DOOR, WHICH IS CRACKED BUT STILL OPERATES WELL. RUST IS MINIMAL, FLOORS ARE VERY SOLID, WITH ONLY TWO SMALL HOLES ON EACH SIDE OF THE FRONT FLOOR PANS ( ABOUT 1 1/2" X 2" EACH). THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME RUST REPAIR OF THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER PANEL, WHEN LOOKING UP FROM UNDERNEATH. TRUNK FLOOR LOOKS TO BE VERY SOUND AS WELL. IT LOOKS LIKE ALL OF THE STAINLESS STEEL TRIM IS IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR AND IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. THE WINDSHIELD IS VERY, VERY NICE, WITH NO "FOGGING" AROUND THE EDGES. THE SEATS APPEAR TO BE JUST RECENTLY DONE, AND THE JOB IS ONE OF THE BEST I'VE SEEN. THEY SIT LIKE NEW, AND ARE NOT STRETCHED TOO TIGHT. DOOR PANELS ARE OLD SCHOOL TUCK N ROLL TYPE AND ARE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. HEADLINER HAS BEEN REDONE, BUT SHOULD BE RESTRETCHED AND THERE ARE A FEW MINOR IMPERFECTIONS THAT SHOULD BE FIXED. THE "PORTHOLES" ARE INCLUDED WITH THE CAR, THEY WERE NOT INSTALLED. THEY ARE DRIVER QUALITY WITH SOME PITTING AND BLISTERING. TIRES ARE 235/75/15 RADIALS, MOUNTED ON THE ORIGINAL WHEELS. THIS IS A POWER STEERING CAR, BUT UNKNOWN IF THE POWER STEERING WORKS. THE BELT WAS MISSING, AND I ONLY LET THE CAR RUN FOR JUST A MINUTE SO AS NOT TO OVERHEAT IT. THIS IS ALL I KNOW ABOUT THE CAR, SO IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU CAN SURE ASK BUT I PROBABLY WON'T HAVE TOO MANY ANSWERS. THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD ON A NO-RESERVE AUCTION. I HAVE DESCRIBED THE CAR TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, BUT DUE TO IT'S AGE IT IS BEING SOLD "AS-IS". I ENCOURAGE ANY PROSPECTIVE BUYERS TO COME AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT IF YOU WOULD LIKE. IT IS NOT PERFECT, BUT MOST OF THE HARD WORK LOOKS TO BE DONE AND IT JUST NEEDS SOME FINISHING. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY FOR ANY REASON. AND, TO REJECT BIDS BY LOW, NO, OR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK BIDDERS. IF YOU BID, INTEND TO FOLLOW THROUGH. IF YOU NEED TO ASK YOUR WIFE, GIRLFRIEND, HUSBAND, BOYFRIEND, BANKER, NEXTDOOR NEIGHBOR, COWORKERS ECT PLEASE DO SO BEFORE BIDDING. I HAVE HAD MORE THAN MY SHARE OF PEOPLE WHO BID, WIN, AND THEN NEVER FOLLOW THROUGH. I AM AN HONEST SELLER WITH 100 % POSITIVE FEEDBACK FOR NEAR 20 YEARS, AND EXPECT THE BUYERS TO BE THE SAME. I WILL REQUIRE A $500.00 PAYPAL DEPOSIT AT AUCTIONS END, WITH THE BALANCE DUE IN 5 BUSINESS DAYS BY WIRE TRANSFER OR CASH IN PERSON. I DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL OR CASHIERS CHECKS. I WILL DO MY BEST TO ASSIST THE BUYER IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE INSOFAR AS SHIPPING, OR TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE SEVERAL VERY RELIABLE SHIPPERS I HAVE USED AND GET REALLY GOOD RATES FROM. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PHONE CALLS ALWAYS WORKS BEST. YOU CAN REACH ME AT 320-260-0502 I CHECK EMAILS USUALLY ONCE A DAY AT THE END OF THE DAY. I HAVE CLEAR TITLE IN HAND, AND WILL SEND IT TO THE WINNING BIDDER BY CERTIFIED MAIL ONCE PAYMENT IN FULL IS RECEIVED.
