1956 Buick Special Model 41

[jackofalltrades70]

The time has come to let someone else enjoy this car as is or take it to another level.  You can check out my thread about this car in the Me and My Buick section.  I putchased this little girl several years ago when I had started the restoration if my 47' convertible.  My convertible is roadworthy and almost finished, so it is time to say goodbye.

 

The good.

Pretty solid car. Has a Schive paint job

from the 70's or so.  I touch up the paint from time to time.

There are some rust bubbles along the bottom of the doors.  

Previous owner installed replacement rockers. They are riveted in and I didn't investigate any further.

I repaired the floor pans and installed sound proof material and new pad/carpet two summers ago.

Transmission was replaced with a rebuilt one from Jim's Dynaflow four years ago because reverse was gone in the tranny.

Carb and fuel pump and wiper motor rebuilt last year.

New fuel tank and sending unit 4 years ago.

The radio was just rebuilt and has an aux jack installed.

i just replaced the drivers door glass last fall and repainted the interior trim.

I am forgetting things.  Check out the thread and ask questions.

 

The bad

The trunk lid needs a little bodywork.  It kissed my 47' right after painting.

The brightwork is typical and period looking.  I have upgraded things to better chrome as I was able to find it.

Could use some light bodywork and a paint job.

 

I have another speedometer assy for the car.  Will go with the car.

 

Feel free to pm me and ask any questions

 

Asking $5,000.00 on craigslist.  Forum members can take $500.00 off.

 

Thanks
