1955 BUICK CENTURY. DON THE (SNAKE) PRUDOHMME OWNED THIS CAR FOR OVER 23 YEARS. THE CAR WAS ASSEMBLED IN SOUTH GATE CA. AND HAS BEEN HERE EVER SINCE. THE WAS RESTORED BEFORE HE PURCHASED IT AND HAS BEEN IN HIS GARAGE OR SHOP EVER SINCE. HE HAD THE MOTOR GONE THROUGH BY HIS CREW CHIEF IN VISTA CA. HE HAD THE INTERIOR DONE AND REPLACED THE WHEELS AND TIRES TO HIS LIKING. HE ALSO PUT DISK BRAKES ON THE FRONT WITH A TWO INCH DROP. TORQUE THRUST 2'S, 20'S ON THE REAR AND 18'S ON THE FRONT. HAS POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND WINDOWS. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT WITH NO EXPENSE SPARED. SHE HAS THE ORIGINAL BLAKE PLATES. THE CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I WOULD SAY SHE IS A TRUE NUMBER TWO CAR. ACCORDING TO THE COLLECTOR CAR GUIDE. FOR THE TRUE COLLECTOR OF A 55' BUICK AND A DRAG RACING HISTORIAN?, YOU CAN NOT GET ANY BETTER OPPORTUNITY THAN THIS. SERIOUS ONLY PLEASE. FOR ANY AND ALL INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT BRUCE. 818-355-0314. I WILL REGRET SELLING THIS CAR FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE. On Nov-08-12 at 15:51:46 PST, seller added the following information: I should also mention that this car is a heater delete car from the factory. Rare. Also I have documentation that this car was Don Prudohmme"s. I have copies of earlier registrations. There also is a spot on the car behind the passenger rear wheel on the lower rocker were it has a dent probably from driving off a curb? Please view pictures. I am still shocked that it is on ebay. College-N-kids! I apologize for not mentioning this. If you want to recant your bid, I understand. Besides being Don's car, the reserve it set for the merit of the year, make, model, and condition. I am not considering the economy in this auction, just the car for Buick enthusiasts. Being The Snakes car, is the cherry on the cake so to speak. A part of racing history for 50 years and inducted in the motor sports hall of fame. First man to hit the 250 mph mark, and 6th all time winner in the sport. Another words, he is a legend. His dragster that did that feat was just sold at the Mecum auction for $250,000. Enough said. Good Luck. If the bidding even gets close, I will consider lowering the reserve so that the car can be had.
