NC-car-guy 2,470 Posted February 5 Ad text: 1949 Buick Roadmaster. No title. Sold as is where is . Mileage not verified. Buyer must arrange shipping or transport. No drivetrain. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
60FlatTop 4,464 Posted February 6 I saved a couple pictures of it to my "sunk in" folder. What would it take to drag the car a few feet before taking the picture. Most of the sunk in folder is Craigslist stuff. And I had to decide on a focus for that. The pictures taken in the dark, the cars with trash or engine parts on the seat would have just been too much. I also limit my search to cars over $500. I quit looking at anything listed for $1, $10, $20, or any multiple of ten fraction. Those sellers are too witty for me. The Roadmaster is listed on Ebay, reserve not met. I have a good idea how that story ends. Ebay used to list completed, unsold sales in red. They quit doing that. The pages looked like they were hemorrhaging. Fun to look at. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DualQuadDave 85 Posted February 8 I liked it enough to message seller. Usual "I'm not tellin" reserve bs. Blah blah blah. Guess it's not sellin... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Phillips 1,612 Posted February 10 Got it! Guess I'll be headed to Tomball, Texas soon with my trailer. Will decide whether to restore it or part it out once I have crawled all over it. Anyone have a lead on that missing back glass? My guess is that will be the toughest part to find. Anyone have a lead on a 1948 or newer 320 engine that's not too far from N. Texas????

Not sure if you has anyone look at it but there is a transmission in the trunk, rubber coated gas tank and repainted (rebuilt) radiator in the engine compartment. Floor boards seem solid from eye-balling them. I need a trunk lid and right rear fender for my 76S if you decide to part it out. Rear glass is on eBay occasionally. I know the windshield glass is available. No line on an engine. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Phillips 1,612 Posted February 11 Dan O, thanks for that information--was not aware of the extra goodies you mentioned. Makes it more worthwhile to restore rather than part out. Pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buickborn 52 Posted February 11 Pete -- they show an available '49 sedanet replacement rear window at (obviously misnamed) classicflatglass.com in Placerville CA. I found this gent very knowledgeable and helpful with the glass I needed for a '35 40 coupe I was resurrecting a few years ago. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DualQuadDave 85 Posted February 14 Congrats! Looks like a nice car. If you get it and change your mind, hit me up. I still like it for a project myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Model56s 20 Posted February 16 Congrats Pete. A member of the Gateway Chapter BCA restores stainless trim. It looks like the passenger side front spear could use a little work. Geoff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
