Vehicle Detail
1955 Buick Special: This 1955 Buick was purchased by a close family member of mine who lives in New Hampshire, but visits Florida regularly during the Fall and Winter months, and loves to frequent the car shows. This Buick has been here in Florida since purchase, and since the visits are not going to be as frequent as planned, we think it may be time to give someone else an opportunity to own this great car. Very attractive Titian Red and Dover White with nice matching interior ... It is quite obvious this car was cared for and garaged it's entire life. It is a good original Buick that has been restored, as needed, to drive and show. Many of the features on this car are well above average and the car is certainly above average as a whole. Interior, exterior, trunk, engine, underneath, etc. Everywhere you look is solid and clean. The engine and trunk compartments are detailed and painted. Although it is not a "perfect" car, it is a lot of fun to drive and displays very well at the car shows! Will win a trophy at most of your local shows ; ) Features/options: 264ci "Nailhead" V8 Engine (188 hp) Variable Pitch Dynaflow Transmission (Automatic) Newer Two-Tone Upholstery Deluxe Radio Clock Delete Day/Night Mirror Backup Lights Standard Steering and Brakes (stops and steers with ease) New Coker WWW Tires Traffic Light Viewer Airway Compass Windshield Washer (non-functional) This Buick has a very nice body and under-carriage ... Cosmetically, as a whole, you should expect to see some degree of flaws present (age, driving wear, paint chips, etc.). The paint, although older, is still quite glossy and attractive even from a reasonable distance. Chrome and brightwork is also perhaps better than average, however, showing it's age in some areas more than others. The interior displays very well. The dash is very good and the windows all roll up and down as they should. Again, you can expect some flaws around the car, but it is a pretty one nonetheless! Please see all of the photos displayed! The Nailhead V8 idles very well, makes great power, and still has the functional gas pedal start. The Dynaflow transmission is very smooth and also works well. The car gets down the road and flows with modern traffic with ease. Overall, the car runs and drives great! The speedometer and other gauges are in good working order. The gas gauge is accurate, the cigar lighter is functional, the original radio plays, directional signals work too. You can drive this one! A really great car and investment at this price ... Good Buicks are getting hard to come by!! I welcome inspections and appraisers. Shown by appointment. Drive home or I can help ship this classic Buick to your door at a reduced rate via enclosed transport. If you are a long distance or overseas, I will try to work with you on the price of the car and shipping ... Please contact me for details. I reserve the right to end the auction early at any time. The car could be for sale locally as well. Please feel free to contact me and make an offer. If you think you might want the car, then contact me with your questions via e-mail, eBay messages, or phone right away. Don't let someone else beat you to it!
