B Jake Moran Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Is this the going price for a full on project 56 or most 1950's Buick 2 door hardtop? They don't sell on FB marketplace, they sit there for sometimes years but the sellers don't seem to budge. He has lowered it from $6,000 to $5,500 but if this was a "hot" project, it should be gone by now. I'm interested, but I guess I am cheap. I am 60 in 3 weeks, have a fun little Mazda Miata to scratch the itch, but am looking for 2 projects or cars. 1. to do with an 18 year old and 2. one to send to a professional well regarded restoration shop. This one would probably go to the shop, is northwest of Minneapolis and would cost me $400 or so to a friend with a trailer to go get it. I don't know, maybe I better pass on all of this stuff. What's a fair price? Sure, it's one of the great 1950's Buicks, a Roadmaster 2 door hardtop - but all of those BCA members in Minnesota know about this one, and have passed. I would think $2500. So this seller would say no, I would be labeled a "low baller." I think that is why potential buyers just pass on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC-car-guy Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Agreed that 6k is too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Over here in the real world where I live this rough disassembled parts car might be worth $1000-$1500 tops. I wouldn't be afraid of making a lowball offer, that's how the seller ended up with the car in the first place. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bussa Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Make the offer you can live with, if you get labeled so what ? I decided long ago that other people's opinions of me are none of my business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhach Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Going by the fact that one of the pictures is of the car on trailer. The seller probably paid $2,500 for it and he's trying to flip it for double. Just putting the missing parts on it would be a lot of time and effort, let alone sorting out why it was disassembled in the first place.

Pete Phillips Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Jake, I agree with you that $2500 is about right for that car, and I would not go any higher. You don't know anything about the condition of the engine or the transmission since it is not running. Pete Phillips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
