That's a value for 8 grand. But personally it's too bland for my tastes.

Pretty cool car. I like it! But we've seen many mopars here for very reasonable prices. So I think this one should fall somewhere in the low to mid-teens. But it's a great car for someone to affordably get into the hobby

31,000 dollar for that? umm no.

I agree with your assessment!

It's been quite some time since I last posted here. I finally solved an ongoing issue with my Buick and then swap cars and brought my Pontiac to my shop on Saturday. Not one to sit around the Pontiac went up on the hoist on Sunday to do a front end rebuild. We took apart the left suspension and found the lower control arm had previously repaired be someone who did not know how to tig weld. Hence I'm getting another control arm. The right side came apart and it looked ok but some of the key parts were missing the fasteners and some were loose. Now the trick is to beat the metal securing pins out to get the king pins free. That little crescent on the pin is barely visible and I don't believe these pins have ever been replaced. Of course there's the time consuming parts cleaning and refinishing process. I am amazed at these cars that I own; I love 'em but they do come at a price! For this Pontiac, the amount of work that I have had to do on it has far exceeded what I had originally expected. There have been a lot of jerry-rigged and dangerous repairs by former owners that had to be corrected immediately. Lucky for me I haven't ended up in a car wreck due to these unsafe repairs. Lucky for the car that someone (me) owns it and wants to preserve it!

That was quick. Owner wanted it gone and it is!

Nice Cadillac! I agree it won't last long...

Very cool looking coupe. But lame pictures! The seller states it's all original and award winning.... Award winning? Maybe this model can win awards but not this car! At any rate I hope it goes to a good home!

I really like 38 Buicks and a century coupe is awesome. I wonder what the history is with this Buick. It does not show much rust damage at all and it appears it's all there. If there's no major drive train issues and it runs decently that is a bonus. I hope whoever buys it keeps it original and preserves it!

I have to wonder if this is Kurt Kelsey's car. Sadly he passed away about a year ago and is missed. He had a Farm in Iowa and sold antique Pontiac parts. I had the coupe version of this one year only model and told me that he had the sedan. These 40 Torpedo's are pretty close to a 40 Buick Super. If you're a Pontiac guy you'll want that deluxe steering wheel!

I have a 40 and the engine is black. The engine number stamped on the right side of the block shows no indications of being a factory replacement. I know that there are publications (AACA judging handbook, etc) stating that the engines for 1940 Buicks are gray but I question if that was for all models. Spoke to Doug Seybold and he says that applies for the 320 engines, not necessarily the 248's. Since that conversation I have paid attention to engine colors in 40 and 50 series cars listed on the web and found that there are quite a few black engines out there. When I sanded my valve cover I went down to the metal and I saw no traces of gray in the sanding process. But I must say, the these cars are approximately 80 years old; anything car happen. As far as price goes the the 41 listed above I think some where between 17,500 and 19,000 is about right. This car has been for sale for a while which tells me that the seller ain't budging on his price and if that's true it better be a very nice car!

I have seen this car before but not sure where. So this car has been for sale for a while. The car looks very nice. The price is within the ballpark. However it doesn't have the compound carburetion. It does have the heater and the radio. The steering wheel looks like it's been recast and overall the car looks well maintained. I like these Buick coupes and would love to see it but it's located on the wrong coast! GLWTS

I have 57 Chieftain and I bought it with a tri power setup which is from a different year. I dumped the tri power setup and sourced an original 4 barrel manifold and AFB carb. Now that 347 engine with the 4 barrel carburetor runs like a bat out of hell. I was told by numerous people that a tri power setup performs no better than the 4 barrel and the tri power setup will require more to set up and maintain. They say tri power setups on the 57's are eye candy at car shows!

The fuzzy dice make the price of 12 grand worth it!

I recently saw this car on Facebook and sent a message to the seller about the details of this car. The seller answered about 3 questions and disappeared while I had many more questions to go. This car is painted orange which to a purist is unacceptable. The exterior is barely acceptable to me but painting the the window surrounds and dash is, well, unacceptable! It looks as if the car has been lowered; I wonder how the rear ed is lowered; were the springs cut? I think if you had time and patience it wouldn't take that much to get to a halfway decent car. There would be a whole lot of painting in the interior. A complete exterior color change would blow the budget. Buy the caps and rings for the wheels. and find an air cleaner for it. The only question mark is the lowered rear end, however coil springs are not that expensive!

This looks to be a nice car. I am not so sure it's $27,000 nice. The air cleaner looks hideous and for the matter the engine compartment need a lot of TLC. The rear bumper is pitted. But if the seller gets anywhere north of 25 grand, god bless him!

So this car going need just about everything: engine work, paint, chrome & interior. Also there is going to missing parts. I prefer the 49's to the 50's. These Caddy's bring good money if done right. I hope it goes to someone has the desire and money to put this car back on the road in the way Caddy's are meant to be!

This is a cool looking Buick. There is chrome work to be done, hubcaps to be replaced and a cut/buff to be done. No pictures of the interior or engine. This is water under the bridge because the ad is taken done. I assume the car is sold?

So it's got rust in driver's footwell and the brakes are shot... ie: you cannot test drive it. In my book the girls in the pictures do nothing to sell the thing. Someone did more harm than good with that upholstery! No thanks: GLWTS

Thanks guys; I'll stick with my 1940 56S!

1957 Ford Fairlane. Older restoration done with original intentions. 292 Y block with automatic transmission. Outstanding condition for a 67 year old vehicle. Must see to appreciate. Please call for questions or to setup an appointment to see. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/759251126271305/?ref=product_details&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks This is not my car and I have no stake in the sale.

This is a Century Riviera and it might not be in too bad of condition. The exterior chrome and the glass look decent. The one interior picture it looks pretty clean in there. The engine compartment and the exterior paint are the two eye sores! The seller says it runs so I would deduce the transmission is in good working order. Looks like everything is there, but still you would need to see it in person before pulling the trigger. GLWTS

Okay I'm impressed. Few people would consider restoring one of these. Though we've seen some decent drivers show up here but this one looks better. The price seems fair if the car is as good as looks in these pictures

The link doesn't show anything. Kind of a useless post!
