  1. Has a new water pump installed, as of this week, and the radiator is at the radiator shop being cleaned and a leak being repaired. Still for sale!
  2. Not mine. Rare, A-body, 1942 Special model 47. One of only 1,611 built. This is the smaller, Chevrolet-based body & chassis but with the optional (for Specials) compound carburetors. Probably very quick and responsive to drive. If you attended the BCA national meet in Midwest City, OK. a few years ago, this car was in the "Buicks for sale" area. Someone has redone the interior in the wrong material. Body is very, very solid. Please, someone make an offer on it before I do! I do not need another old car. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1105112020788010/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks
  3. For sale in Bonham, Texas (NE of Dallas), running, driving, totally restored, 1957 BelAir convertible, well equipped with power steering, power brakes, PowerGlide automatic, dual radio antennas, "Wonderbar" radio, continental spare tire, fender skirts, 4-barrel power pack 283 with dual exhausts. The restoration is about 10 years old, body was taken off of frame, underside is as clean as the top side. Correct red & silver upholstery. Very few miles since the restoration, always garaged. Car was originally from SE Oklahoma, so no rust. $82,000 or close offer. Can send more photos to those who are seriously interested.
  4. Selling for family of deceased Buick Club member: Late 1940s 248 engine with bell housing & clutch fork. Engine will run and includes everything except the air cleaner. Includes voltage regulator, carburetor, battery cables, spark plug cover, starter switch & ignition switch. Located in Midlothian, Texas which is 25 miles southwest of Dallas. Engine is clean, stored indoors, has clean oil in it, and is ready to run. I don't know much else about it. Can help load it on a weekend. $850. Pete Phillips, BCA #7338
  5. There was an amazing one (Model 39) at the national meet in Spokane, Washington last summer. It won the Guy Bennett, Sr. Award, if memory serves. I judged it and could not find a single reason to deduct any points.
  6. Sale of this car "fell through" as the saying goes. Buyer found out he has stage 3 cancer and cannot go through with the purchase. So, if you want one of the nicest, original, unrestored, 1948 model 51 Super 4-door sedans in existence, here is your chance once again. Brakes done, carburetor rebuild done, fuel pump rebuild done. All it needs is to be driven. Car is at my shop in Bonham, Texas. $15,500 or very close offer. Pete Phillips, BCA #7338
  7. To my knowledge, former office manager Val ingram is still very much alive. Perhaps you were referring to her husband, Ed, who died several years ago. Pete Phillips
  8. Interior photos. A previous owner cut speaker holes in each interior door panel.
  9. The engine number area has been ground off smoothly, so no engine number on it. Trying to ID the year so I can sell it for the widow of the former owner (Don Mitchell). Generator # is Delco 1102662. Last number is intake manifold #. Any help appreciated. I am 100 miles away from my Buick parts books, otherwise I would look up some of the other numbers on its parts.
  10. Price drop to $27,500. The owner has asked me to sell this 1941 Limited 6-passenger sedan due to his ill health. No rust, no dents, good original upholstery, runs and drives well but I think it may need a new water pump which I will get to; 320 straight eight was overhauled in the 1980s, car has 103,000 miles, I overhauled the wheel cylinders and master cylinder yesterday so it has good brakes now. Car has been used in several Hollywood movies--I've asked the owner for documentation. He is asking $27,500 but all offers will be considered. More photos upon request to those who are serious. I have both fender skirts, but did not have the right-hand one installed when I took these photos. Located in Bonham, Texas northeast of Dallas. Pete Phillips, BCA #7338
  11. That seems like a very reasonable price for that car.
  12. Question about the label plate on a 1935 90-series 344 engine: Which valve adjustment label plate is correct, among these two? Pete Phillips, BCA #7338
  13. Yes, I can mail it to Hungary if you'll pay for the postage.
  14. It's not held at the museum any more; the museum is closed and gone. It is held at the speedway north of Ft. Worth along Interstate 35-W. i am going. It is a very large meet, but you will look long and hard for any Buick parts. There might be 3 or 4 Buick parts vendors out of the thousands of vendors who are there. This is Ford and Chevrolet country for the most part. But I would never miss the Pate Swap Meet. Largest swap meet in the south central U.S. Pete Phillips, BCA #7338
  15. So I drove the 200 miles to the annual Chickasha, OK. Pre-War Swap meet on Friday morning. Numbers of vendors and shoppers were down, as usual. No reservations were being taken from vendors for next year, so this is probably the final such event. Very sad. Everybody's getting older and interest in Pre-World War Two cars seems to be slipping. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the meet, made a few good purchases and saw some amazing cars, including a '39 Century with side-mounted spare tires that was for sale for $8500, not running and in need of most everything, but quite complete.
  16. It depends. There are two slightly different styles for the 1951 76-R. Notice the difference in the curvature in the wide part at the end. Which do you need? $395/pair plus postage. Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 Leonard, TX
  17. These are new old stock.Is the unpainted portion supposed to be painted body color or is it supposed to be chromed? Pete Phillips
  18. Not my ad. Posting for a friend: 1991 GS Regal “ Coupe” , must be coupe! 88-95 Need both front fenders don’t care color ( my car is med met blue) can you post. For me where can please. Craig Geske 612-803-4918 Minneapolis delivery Ph or txt best lv message if miss me. Ok to relay to party with fenders.
  19. Yes, still for sale. Had to raise the price to $12,000 due to more work that we have done to it. Runs and drives very well and could be driven anywhere.
  20. Not mine. Located S.E. of Dallas area. Looks pretty solid. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/930987498485679/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks
