JCK55buick Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Anyone? It is on decent tires now and rolls. The passenger door has some damage, and I have a spare passenger door I purchased for $300 a few years ago. I will thow the door in if someone is interested in a project for the winter. Thanks!

Guest BJM Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 JeffThat is a desirable project . I have already purchased many this year alone. So resist posting. Not a lot of activity out there on projects. I checked your footer. You have a pretty cool collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I can't buy your car, although I would love to do so. May I recommend you consider advertising it in the BCA magazine? I'm certain someone will pick up on this Super car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 He sent me an ad for it last week, so will be in the November Bugle, but I have a feeling it might get sold before then--lot of car for the money, and a desirable model.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like 54's the best but you can't go wrong with any 50's large body 2 door hardtop Buick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCK55buick Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Bryan and John,Thanks for your posts! I bought a decent driver 55 Roadmaster 76R a few years ago and decided the Super needs a good home! I am hoping that somebody has the time and talent to bring her back to life. For less than $5K I found an 83 Riv convertible about 35 miles away that I really wasn't looking for.....(you know how it goes) but could not pass it up! Now space becomes the issue! Thanks again for your interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) I'll take it!!! The 83 Rivi convertible that is.actually if it were closer I might be interested in the Super. I have a 54 front clip that would slip right on and make that ol 55 look like something.serioulsy, someone needs to grab this Super deal.

JCK55buick Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 I know you love your 54s, Mr. Earl! They look kind of sad to me, must be the surround around the headlights or something! I've always been attached to the 55s and like them better than 54s or 56s. Guess it's good we don't all like the same thing, it would drive the prices up!

JCK55buick Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 Still looking for a new home for the Super.....will be advertised in the November Buick Bugle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BJM Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Still available! (308) 237-9428 (H) or (308) 233-5120 (W). Thanks!I keep thinking about that car. It really represents a great value in project cars. I have checked Jaxed or Craigs List and see virtually every 54-56 offered, many in far worse shape for $1500 to $3000. Granted they probably don't sell but $1000 is truly a fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCK55buick Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks, Jake! I'm hoping a Buick lover will buy it and restore it, not part it or rod it. I think it is worthy of that! I would love to see it all restored and at a BCA meet someday...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCK55buick Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks everyone for your help, the 55 is sold and went to a new owner in Giddings, Texas. He plans to restore it, can't wait to see it on the road again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
