MrEarl Wants YOU in a '54 Buick

[MrEarl 7,169]

I wish Mr Earl would find me a 54...

I'm findin 'em, you just need to rob a bank and buy 'em.

Depending on the sellers meaning of paint "looks presentable" and considering the entire mechanical has been rebuilt, glass is excellent (hopefully new rubber) and from the pictures solid floors and rockers (although it looks as though they neglected to paint the undersides of the rockers), this could be a pretty good deal. Also mentions restored front grille. (tha's a grand there). Very much worth looking into and making an offer. These lil sedans are scarce, I love 'em.

1954 BUICK SPECIAL 2DR SURVIVOR GREAT SHAPE

Up for sale today is a very clean and super solid 1954 Buick Special 2d sedan. This is a great start for anyone looking for a easy and very affordable weekend project. Its ready for immediate purchase and for more detail information you can call 321-243-0328 A major restoration was started on the car about 5 ago years, the entire drive-line (Engine, transmission, rear-end) and brake system were completely overhauled, it still has its original nail head, dynaflow tranny and rear.The engine runs great i have over 12k in receipts spent by previous owner for the service done by well respected service shops here locally. All the glass is in excellent shape, the stainless that i have is in excellent shape. The paint and body were done about 4 years ago in a nice metallic maroon and white inside and out, and it looks presentable. The restoration was stopped at interior upholstery. All the interior trim has been painted to match and is wrapped up in paper in the trunk, The interior just needs the seats, door panels and carpet redone(i have the original door panels). The car during the past 5 years until now has been limited to a drive around the block 1-2 times a month, now its started and ran daily. The front and rear bumpers need re-chroming there in good shape otherwise, the entire grill has been redone recently. The trim that I have is on the car it needs the passenger door back sweep molding. All the lights and gauges function properly, the vacuum wipers are a little sticky but engage.The tires are bias ply white walls they are in good shape but could use a couple miles put on them. Its been couped up in a garage for the last 5 years and is now ready for a new home and a owner to take it to the next level.

As a comparable to the car above, I stopped and looked at this car on a trip to Kansas a year or so ago. Floors and rockers and rear quarter full of cancer, glass all fogged up, wouldn't crank.

[MrEarl 7,169]

Here's a sweet lil 15K mile all original Special. A 3 speed car with a pristine non-flexible steering wheel and check out the nice original headliner and condition of dash. From where I'm sitting the upholstery and glass all looks good and I see no rust through in the normal places. Somebody needs to rescue this '54 time capsule and bring to the next National for an Archival Class Elite award. Nobody hardly ever wants to spend a lots of money on 4 doors, so having something like this that would be so unique and interesting in and of it's own right to me would be so exciting. Park this next to a newly restored 54-55-56 and see which one draws the biggest crowd.

If it is a running, driving and stopping car, I think the asking price is reasonable to start negotiations at. Email me if I can be of any help in what to look for or ask the seller. I will be calling them later just to chat about the car.

Hey Mr. Earl, I've been to Country Classics in Ill. and they have some nice cars. This green '54 would really compliment Terry's wardrobe, if you would help her fix it up a bit, and then she could join in on our discussions. Waddya think ?

1954 BUICK SPECIAL

nice find! I love it!

[smithbrother 603]

Man would that ever be a FOOLER, drop a 502 in it, 9" Ford rear, dis. brakes all around, 6-speed manual, and leave the shifter on the column.

Clear the finish, just to stop any surface action.

That's what I would do, no changes to body though. Some of you MIGHT not agree, but each to his own, right? Right!

If it 'IS', as nice as pictures hint, then you certainly could NOT build for that price. Well, unless you did it yourself, and didn't count hours, and hours of work.

Not my color, but very nice.

Personally it needs gravity to work to the tune of about 1-1-1/2", IMO.

What does Mr. Earl say????
