1956 Buick Special Coupe 322 V8 variable pitch Dynaflow transmission

VIN 4C2056242

Here is your chance to purchase a  1956 Buick special two door 
pillarless. The Buick is a very solid car with all original panels and 
99% rust free -has two very small rust spots .The paint which is two 
tone blue is older but very presentable-has one small scrape on lower RH 
fender and a few paint chips but otherwise decent.

Interior is all original and show OK for being  64 years old.Seat 
upholstery has been redone in a blue vinyl and is fine for a daily 
driver.All dash guages work except for speedo.

 Exterior chrome and stainless all complete and in good condition -one 
piece of flat glass is cracked on RH side but being flat easy 
replacement-Buick comes with  a new correct outside mirror and a few 
interior handles. Buick has manual steering and brakes but has  a power 
steering conversion in boot ( not sure of brand). Buick steers well 
.Buick has had a recent tune up and carb replaced with an Edelbrock 4V  
which works fine .Has an electric fuel pump but i would go back to an 
original mechanical pump.Also has a new set of white wall radial tyres.

This is a top example of a Buick two door and a rare opportunity for a 
buyer to purchase a great car -compare this car to a 1956 Chev two door 
- Buicks have bigger engines ,more horsepower and are better buying .

1955 Buick Century Coupe 322 V8 Auto

VIN 6B204998

This is a fine example of a 1955 Buick 2 door pillarless Century. Very original unrestored car with the correct 322 V8 engine and two speed power glide trans, other options include power steering and power windows (they work just need a little WD 40).

The Buick which is a fantastic car for resto, starts, runs and stops but would not be considered a driver due to a bad water pump. There is an $800 set of New American Classic wide white wall tyres on this car (new stickers still on treads). The body on the Buick is impressive with virtually no rust at all.

Mint and original colour inside boot with original cardboard still intact. Buick has had only one same colour repaint some time ago. All chrome and stainless trim is intact and in good condition except for one small missing piece near RH rear wheel.

Blue interior is original  and has never been redone. Dash is excellent with functional guages. Original  radio and new correct carpet kit just intalled, cracked glass on passenger side door (not a problem  as glass is flat). One could say this is a bit of a time warp Buick - similar cars are becoming very hard to locate.

Easy resto candidate with no hassling on rust repairs. Reasonably priced Buick. Note these Buicks were called Century as Buick stuffed the biggest engine available that year in the smallest body, these cars could top the ton and made mincemeat of Chevrolet in traffic light drags.
