Parting 1949 Roadmaster Riviera 76R hardtop

[carlisle1926]

The time has come to part this car out. Has rust issues. The driver side floor is gone. Both rocker panels have rust, as well as door exterior bottoms, exterior passenger side trunk lid, both sail panels of the roof and likely in other unseen places. The trunk floor is solid. The car has a clear current Texas title in my name. Located near Houston, TX.

entire set of sweep sear moldings $1600.

rear fenders $400 each.

trunk lid $400

doors $300 each

320 cubic engine is not stuck but not running in many years.

 entire as it sits right now, $5,000. It needs to leave soon either intact on your trailer, or in pieces.

It is a horrible shame that this super rare car has to be parted.  Surely there is some middle aged person out there with the wherewithal to take this car on and restore it.  If I was 55 instead of 78 I would try to take it on.  I had a 1941 Limited in 1973 that was this bad, and I got it up enough that somebody else took it and finished it, while I took on a much better car.   Now I don't have either one of them anymore, but that's another story.  But, no knock on the current owner.  He has to do what he has to do if there is no buyer out there willing to take it on.

Hi

 

Is that Buick still available?

 

Thank's

I clearly remember that car and the seller's efforts to find new home for it.  Odd, but it doesn't look as hopeless now as it did then.  But, IIRC, it's long gone -- a pity.
