1939 Buick Special in unreal original condition. Paint, interior, stainless, running gear, and all else is original to this Buick. Runs great, windows roll up and down and work perfectly are tight and are clear (all rubber and felt in great shape), wipers work, all lights (dash, dome light, headlights, tail lights, park lights and even trun signals) work great! All gauges work as well. , Horn is ver loud!!! This Buick has an added electric fuel pump (makes starting after it sits for a while much easier). Also, an electric cooling fan was added in front of the radiator to assure she never runs hot. I have driven the Buick on 90 degree plus days and it runs cool! At approximately 40,000 miles the following work was done to the Buick: Removed the front suspension and had the front shocks rebuilt, installed new upper and lower control bushings, rebuilt the brakes, new wheel cylinders, brake hoses, steel lines where needed, replaced the front wheel bearings and seals, and replaced the rear shocks and links. Removed the transmission and installed new sychronizers, replaced the input shaft and front bearing,, Replaced the u-joint and torque-ball. While the rear axle was out, installed 3:90 to 1 ratio gear set. Also had the speedometer recalibrated and cleaned not altering the mileage. Also replaced the rear wheel bearings and seals. Rebuilt the engine, installed new rings, had the head rebuilt with hardened valve seats, flushed the block, re-cored the radiator, installed new hoses,, and rebuilt the carb. Installed a new exhaust system. Removed the fuel tank had it cleaned and had the neck re-soldered. Had the steering wheel recast, replaced the glovebox, and the radio was rebuilt (it comes on and lights up, but I haven't gotten sound not sure why). Replated the bumpers and over-riders. There is only about 17,000 miles on the car since all of this work was done!! The Buick does have a small exhaust leak when started cold but seems to go away after it gets warmed up. Might be an exhaust manifold gasket, I haven't checked it out. The brakes work great, although after sitting for a longer period of time the right front grabs for the first couple of stops but is fine after that. This Buick drives very nice and always starts great with the original pedal starter. But since the paint is 74 years old, there are some thin spots and scratches as can be expected. It still looks and shines surprisingly well. The interior is very nice and usable, but being original has a few small wear areas (no holes) one being on the drivers bottom cushion. Including original owners manual, other books, and some parts (ignition, wheel cylinder parts, fan belt, bulbs etc)..Any questions please email or call 660-623-0511 and I will be happy to answer them. Thanks for looking!!!On Feb-03-13 at 15:25:05 PST, seller added the following information: just thought I'd better add that the picture of the box is one of the seat belts that were installed by previous owner. They can easily be reinstalled. Thanks.On Feb-04-13 at 06:45:05 PST, seller added the following information: Just wanted to add that with the rear-end ratio change the Buick runs nicely at 65 mph,.The closk also is not working. The Buick has no rust holes or surface rust as I hope can be seen in the pics. Thanks. Ron
