MrEarl Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Looks like a pretty much unmolested 55 Super 2 door hardtop. Could have lots of potential. Just how much rust through does it have. Floors, trunk, rocker panels? How is the glass? When was it last on the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1965rivgs Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Looks like it may have had some restoration? Engine looks too clean to be original and why is the interior disassembled? Maggie....more info needed. Needs to be looked at in person, interesting....and in Chicago! Tom Mooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buickborn Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Engine appears to be a '53 or '54, judging by oil filler attached to valley cover. Starting in '55, oil fill was via right-side rocker cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting in '55, oil fill was via right-side rocker cover.Early 55's still had the filler in v cover. I would question the 4bbl carb on a Super engine though, so may be a 54 60/70 series transplant. No big deal would just be good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No big deal would just be good to know.As noted, early 55 had the breather/oil fill in the valley cover...late 55 had breathers/oil fill on both valve covers. Only the Special had a 2bbl carb in 55. The engine appears correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buickborn Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Oh, that's right -- '55 Supers had the 4v carb, too . . . Just an example of what was clearly the beginning of GM's long downward spiral by virtue of blurring its previously distinct make/model differentiations. 1955 Brought us Chevys and Pontiacs as impressive and handsome as Buicks and Cadillacs, with equivalent engines . . . the firrst of many subsequent lower-priced cars that could outperform the more expensive makes . . . and, among other muddlings, mid-level Buicks with 4 portholes and 4 barrel carbs just like the Roadmasters . . . What were they thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buickborn Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 some interesting philosophizing there Buickborn Well, Sir, I'm glad you think so. I was wondering if maybe that "philosophizing" was gonna get me kicked out of this "For Sale" thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, it's hard to get folks to pony up for the top dog when a lesser one comes so close to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
