NC-car-guy Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) After much reflection, I will not be able to restore both and since I am already missing a good deal of parts on one, I am going to part one out to fund the work on the other. It is a 1955 Buick special 4 door sedan. The car is complete, with clear VIN/ Title. The following is a list of what I am keeping or has already been promised/sold to someone.1. Entire front body clip except left front fender and all side stainlless and the three chrome holes (both sides)2. Speaker Grill3. Heater controls4. Horn ring with plastic emblem5. Parking brake mechanism6. Fuse Panel7. Trunk emblem8. Front seat plastic side shields9. Clock10.Tail light lens11.Cig lighter12. Vent window regulators13. Headlight switch14. Front ash trays15. Rear door driver's side window regulator16. Shift lever17. Turn signal lever18. Jack and jack hold down bolt and spring19. Rear view mirror20. Quad gauge21. Sun visor mounts22. gas pedalI will keep updating as stuff sells. Once we reach a tipping point, I'll list what's left!As for pricing, when someone requests something I've been researching online and trying to go below that average. I'm not trying to make a profit here (with what I paid for the darn cars I never will) just trying to recoup a little and help see other Buicks get back on the road! I am always open to negotiation or trades for stuff I need. Edited June 17, 2013 by wndsofchng06 updated again (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
