lancemb Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 My God, I know it's a 4 door, but a classic 50's Buick this nice for under $13k? Hard to find a reason NOT to buy it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billbuickgs Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Being one of Bob Coker's Buicks , You won't fine patch panels in the floors made from STOP signs or wrong parts installed on the car . Hope a Buick Lover buys this and not a flipper ! My 2 cents Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC-car-guy Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I'm pretty sure it only went for 10-12k at the auction... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosage Chavis Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 It seems like every Buick that was auctioned off has already been put back for sale. Pure shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL We had them in Brooklyn, NY and as I remember, they worked quite well unless you tried to drive through deep water. The Alternate Side of the Street parking signs were good for the backseat floorboards also. Thanks for reminding me!

Pete Phillips Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 You couldn't restore that car to anywhere near that condition for $13,000--wow! How about that seat upholstery--is it correct? Willie P., I'm sure, could tell us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good flipper will make sure the new owner holds the car much more dearly than the previous two owners (them self included). It is the least one can do for the good of the car.

The non original interior made for a tough decision as to whether to buy or pass. He was never able to procure the 2 dr sedan but was trying.
