Leif in Calif Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 You don't expect much for two grand.... https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/d/lake-arrowhead-1915-buick-touring/7726316939.html 1915 Buick parts, driveline is complete, engine turns over, trans, front suspension, rear end, wheels & tires. Body is rough, wood framing is very poor, metal is all there. Seat springs are there, as well as the top bows. Dry rot, and maybe termites, have eaten much of the body wood. As a restoration project, needs a talented wood-worker. On wheels and tires, rolls. Steering is tight, essentially stuck. chassis 123509, engine 123629 All for $2000. seven zero two, three two four, two eight five nine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 That looks like a great deal, but it is just Buick's small car for 1915. Roughly a competitor to a Model T. You wouldn't get a Brass T this cheap and the Buick is probably a better car. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Anybody ring up the Clampetts and let them know this is available? In their neck of the woods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Clampett Cove is on the other side of town but it looks like their trailer burned down. I had a 1915 Grant Touring in that shape. Traded it and a Ford V8 front and rear end for a 59 El Camino in the late 80's. I think the Clampett's car was a GMC with a Buick 4 cylinder engine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
