Topper1961 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Hi all!Has to let it go, and want to post it here to let the AACA community get a chance to buy it first. If it is not sold within a week, it will posted on EBay with no reserve with this starting price. See also my thread Me and my Buick. Interested buyers please PM me, and I will reply as fast as possible. Car located in Tempe AZ. Price: $5900.00, OBO. Car has a clear title, been parked in a barn on the countryside since 1969. Plates still has stickers. Data on this car as follows:1957 Buick Special Model 49D Riviera Estate 4-door hardtop wagon. Total produced: 6817 (Caballero 10186) Body #4203 Trim #415 Paint UU Green stripe in Sweepspear as well Pcc BFJK The car arrived to my friend Art`s shop in Tempe AZ on Monday. This is a rubber mat car, no carpets. Sonomatic radio and manual antenna. Engine is all together (stuck at the moment), never been messed around with, tailgate is amazingly rust free, but there is some unexpected rust behind the rear doors and a little above the left headlight. Right axel is leaking, Headliner panels are all there, extremely rare for those as they were fiberboard. Car has redeeming qualities, but need to be restored. Thanks for looking!

parkertom Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 This is something you don't see very often. How are the floor pans and frame? Is that rust spot at the rear door common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thriller Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Whimper. If I were in a position to take on another project right now, I think I'd add this to the stable. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1957buickjim Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Joern, Before it gets sold, can you get Art to take some pictures of the interior for me? I would like some reference photos to have in the restoration of my wagon. Mine lacks some of the original items on the trim and interior and would appreciate any he could take prior to the sale. PM me for my email address. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
