I'll be taking them in the week after thanksgiving. I suggest you check the wheels on these cars! Original 16s(1939spec and 40sp/ super only)in restorable condition are getting impossible to find, read 75-100.00 each. Century should be 15s originally same two year only shared I think with 70 series. I know its more hassle and maybe not possible, but most can buy parts even when acquiring whole cars is too difficult. Just trying a little motivational maipulation on ya, with a little $ carrot possibility to maybe provide an alternative to the end of all those parts. Shipping and fuel cost are doing, IMHO the most to end this hobby, Oh, and control freak yuppies who dont want that ugly stuff next to their yard! Good luck! I hope someone can step up and save that trove of parts from that dark future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiKi5156B Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 I've been trying to part these out for quite a while. They do have 15s on the century and 16s on the special.I need to leave the wheels on to roll them.I have one for sure and possibly three buick projects coming soon.I have five car capacity at my house and three are filled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_John Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Perhaps someone here on the forum can put Dave Tachney in MN in touch with RiKi5156B, or get RiKi the contact info for Dave. I don't have Dave's info with me at this time. I know Dave has traveled to the west with his hauler to pick up parts cars in the past. As Greg noted, it would be a shame for all these potential good, useable parts to be lost forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiKi5156B Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know how to get in touch with him?Believe me if I had more shop space I'd at least part em. But those 3 words(more shop space, second only to the three words you tell your wife) are what every hobbyist laments.

Beemon Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Contact Matt Cooper at Trust Salvage LLC in Auburn if you're planning on saving them. I don't think he'll buy them but I'm sure he'll take them if you'd rather them not go to the crusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GARY F Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 It does not say where you are located. where are the cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 In posting #3 , Washington State. Judging from the lush vegetation, Western WA. is likely. I hope these cars are of value to someone and are saved. If I was 25 years younger , I'd haul them across the mountains to my 50 acres on the dry Eastern side near Ellensburg.

39BuickEight Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) If a person was so inclined, there are parts on those worth $10,000+ total to fellow hobbyists. I've parted out leftovers from a 1939 Special on eBay with great success. I'm not in the business, nor do I have space, but to scrap these would be a shame. There are $100 bills hanging all over these cars. eBay would move these parts easily.

RiKi5156B Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 I'm in Lacenter Washington 15 miles north of Portland Oregon. I'm not a scrapper or parter but these two were a package deal and I got alot of great parts out of them for my nearly done 40 special including a fresh rebuilt 51 263 for an engineless 51 special I'm picking up in a week.

I've only ever looked at the row of 55,56,57 Buicks but he has a 53 as well. Very small yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiKi5156B Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 I've talked to them but they are so-so because the cars have no titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiKi5156B Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Ccarl,I can get them to Ellensburg if you're interested. Will be going to Pendleton shortly to pickup a 51.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hi , Rich , well , that takes care of the logistics end of the proposition , now what can we do about those 25 years I have to shed ? I'm warning all you youngsters , just as you notice time has seemed to be flying by faster, IT JUST GETS WORSE !!! Do the things you want to do sooner , rather than later ! Good health is not a permanent condition either. Rich , between you and Mark and other Buick guys in your neighborhood , and , what's it called ? Six degrees of separation? Can't a happy home be near ? I have never seen such a large , energetic , helpful , active bunch of car guys and gals as you Buick people are. If it were a matter of square footage of storage space , you could sure keep what you want gratis at my place. About 10-12 miles N.N.W. of E'burg , last house up Reecer Creek Road , if you know the area. - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiKi5156B Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Don't really want to keep them cause they were just parts cars. At this time of year (cold) don't want to part them either. Just need them outta here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
