1956 Buick Convertible *** NO RESERVE *** This car comes with a 1956 Buick Riviera Coupe body with excellent sheet metal and floors as a parts car. Body: Rough and needs a complete restoration, all convertible trim seems to be there including the pinch weld trim and windshield trim. I have not had it on a hoist but from I can see the frame looks very good. The top folds up and down manually I'm not sure if it will fold by power. The parts car has an excellent body and decent chrome. Interior: Needs it all but seems to be complete including a power seat. Mechanical: The engine runs quite well I have not tried to drive it as the brakes need work. Over All: With the ease of having an excellent parts car to go with it, it should be an simple restoration. Almost everything you need is there. The fact that it runs well is a big bonus. 1956 Buick Convertibles are very desirable and worth a fortune when done. This is an opportunity to restore a car at a price that won't cause you to take a second mortgage on your house to finish and will be worth more than the cost of restoration when done. It is an investment car that is going up in value. Hagerty put the restored value on this car at $90,000.00, average at $38,000 and poor condition at $19,000.00. I haven't had these cars for long I took as part of a trade and if they don't sell I will take the time to restore the convertible as it is a very worth while project. Reason for Selling: I sold this car on ebay a few months ago but the buyer ran into some problems and was no able to complete the sale, so now it is available again. Location: The car is located in Salmon Arm British Columbia a few hours from the Washington border. I can help find a door to door shipper and help with the paperwork if the car is being shipped to the US as I am familiar with the process, but I will only do this for the winning bidder as it takes a lot of calls and emails to get the best price. I can also arrange for overseas shipment. If the winning bidder is from the US I can import the car to the US and ship it to Blaine Washington (at the buyers cost) if that is a more convenient pickup location. There is no duty fees on this car if it is shipped to the US. Other: I may be willing to strip down the parts cars for the winning bidder to save on shipping. There would be a cost involved because of the time it takes and will go over that with the new owner. This car is sold on an bill of sale.

SCAMMERS: DON'T EVEN TRY, I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
