I have for sale a 2 door 1955 Buick Special Riviera hardtop, body style 46R. The car is in very nice drivers quality condition. Much of the interior is still factory original, it was repainted many years ago and the chrome is in presentable condition (the pics do tend to make it look better overall than it really is). The car is a pleasure to drive, and is very reliable. The following are a list of all the recent refurbishments: Engine and fuel system: Gas tank chemically dipped, pin holes brazed up, repainted to look like galvanized metal, per original factory design New gas tank sending unit (float had a pin hole) Rebuilt fuel pump Rebuilt carburetor New water pump 3 new freeze plugs (1 in block, 2 others in cyl heads) Exhaust manifolds removed, cleaned up and reinstalled with gaskets at cyl head (there were none from the factory, but the manifolds had warped over time and were leaking at the mounting points) New gaskets installed between exhaust manifolds and crossover pipe Repaired stuck heat riser valve Boiled out radiator, new overflow tube, new 7# cap New upper and lower radiator hoses Cleaned up and refurbished engine compartment Interior: New carpet in the factory correct color and daytona short loop pile Repaired front seat frames and seat springs Reupholstered front seat using factory correct vinyl and fabric from SMS Fabric Reupholstered front arm rests Restored steering wheel, new horn ring Repainted dash top Repainted door caps New front kick panels Repaired rear seat cushion New rear package shelf and shelf trim Cleaned up existing vinyl on door panels, etc Suspension, brakes and wheels: Rebuilt master cylinder 4 new wheel cylinders New front anti-roll bar bushings New front shocks Newer tires New hubcap badges Misc: New wipers/wiper arms Rejuvenated paint work (The paint was a bit thin on the front drivers fender, and there was a little bit of burn through, unfortunately. You can see it in a few pics, near the ventiports.) Polished all chrome and stainless There are still a few lingering things that could be addressed in the future: Tranny still leaks a bit Rear shocks could be rebuilt at some point Tail light and rear bumper chrome should be addressed at some point Slight exhaust leak somewhere up front, not the crossover pipe. Not overly loud, does make the car sound a bit throaty-er I have plenty more pictures that I can send, and have receipts for all work done and parts. I am happy to answer any questions, or have someone come out to take a look at the car. I am asking $16,000. I can be contacted at 216.538.5120, or can be emailed at denniswfowler@yahoo.com. Thanks again! Dennis Fowler
No big deal, but usually your own cars are put in the "Cars For Sale" section. This section is for other's cars. Nice car though.
