We will do our best to describe the item as accurately as possible, but please feel free to call: 308-380-8630 with any additional questions. If an item has an inaccurate description (we all make mistakes) - please notify us -- Thank you. Buick is located in KEARNEY, NEBRASKA 68847 Due to an unpaying buyer/bidder, I am relisting to ol' girl again ----- This auction is for a 1955 Buick "SUPER" - Riviera - 2-Door Hardtop - "project car". This "Super" was sold as a used car Jan. 7, 1957 from Benson Motors in Minden, Nebraska. Owned by the father/daughter who bought the car in 1957 until I got it recently - Some time ago, I had bought the daughter's 1967 Barracuda that she bought NEW in 1967, so when they were leaving town, she contacted me about her father's Buick. I have the old "small-style" Nebraska Title for it - CLEAN Title - ready for the next owner. This Buick needs restored but is way above average for "starter project cars" - Good Color Combo too. I took a bunch of pics so buyers can Clearly see what they're bidding on. I would consider this car a "low-rust" body - Trunk, Mid & Back Floor pans, Engine Compartment, etc are Very Solid with ONLY surface rust LH/RH Front Floor Pans need repaired (see pics) - Small rust-hole bottom of LH Front Fender. Rocker panels/Bottom Edge of body getting some rust but looks worse in the pictures than they actually are. Frame Rails, Suspension, etc also look Very Good - Very Minimal rust to be fixed on this ol' body ! One advantage to this Buick is it's longevity with one family and minimal parts loss. Car is almost totally complete except missing Top-End of the Nail-Head Engine, Radio & Speaker and small misc parts. Sure makes restoration a WHOLE lot easier when all the little "nuts & bolts" that are so time consuming and costly to find & replace are attached to the car ! GLASS - Windshield & Side Glass will need replaced due to crack, discoloration, etc -- BACK Window is in Good Condition. EXTERIOR Mouldings, etc --- LH/RH Side Mouldings are in Very Nice Condition from front to rear - NO dings, very straight ! Both Bumpers are good candidates to be rechromed - "Honey-Comb" Grill is Very Nice - Headlite Bezels shined up nicely, Lenses are Good. Tail-lites, Front-Fender Mounted Mirrors and the (8) Side-Marker have some small "pitting" but shine up nicely. Windshield, Side Windows and Rear Window Chrome looks Very Nice. INTERIOR: Needs interior restoration - Pictures below show it clearly - Nice that it's pretty Complete except for radio and Speaker - Pretty Neat Chrome Cigarette Lighter mounted under the Dash ! ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN: Looks to be pretty Complete except missing Heads, Intake, Carb and Air Cleaner. Transmission, Driveshaft, etc are connected - Just needs engine replaced. I was told this was a "nail-head" engine - I do not know Cu. In.size. Overall, this ol' Buick will make someone a heck of a "starter" project car - Whether to restore, ratrod or whatever, it's VERY Nice to have a pretty complete car making restoration so much easier !!! My shop PC died(using a friend's laptop to do this ad) and my shop phone(308-236-5784) is not working due to remodelling issues, so please email questions through Ebay or call my Cell: 308-380-8630 and leave a message please. Due to the amount of calls, etc (I'm a one-man shop), I will call back as soon as possible - MANY THANKS !
