You are bidding on a very nice cosmetically restored 1953 Buick "Special" 2-door Hardtop.

Here is brief history on the vehicle:

I purchased the car about ten years ago from an older genteman in Pilot Mountain. NC with the intention of keeping it forever; however times have changed and I need the money for personal reasons.  I began to cosmetically restore the car after driving it for a while. The original lacquor paint was beginning to crack and spider-web so I decided to have it stripped and re-painted. It was repainted with expoxy primer and base-coat clear-coat about 5 years ago. The paint is still excellent. I restored the seats and replaced all door panels in the original type design and material. Later had all the chrome parts re-plated and stainless pieces polished. except for the emblems. Later while driving it the transmission went out and I had it completely rebuilt. This car runs and drives great!

This is a rare cosmetically restored 52K actual miles with out any rust at all - ever! Original 6 volt system with new original style battery and new starter.

Below is a list of the costs incurred while completing the restoration:

1. Paid $6500 for car in 2003;

2. Paid $3500 for stripping and painting;

3. Paid $2500 to restore interior;

4. Paid $2900 for lifetime chrome work;

5. Paid $1400 to rebuild transmission;

6. Paid $300 to rework brakes and tune-up;

7. Paid approx. $500 for wide whitewal tires and other miscellaneous parts. etc.

The following are things that may need to be completed:

1. Headliner began to deteriorate and needs to be replaced;

2. Eblems need to be restored;

3. Two rear quarter windows are "frosty" in the corners and could be replaced; (all glass is original) (see picture)

4.   Rocker panel molding on driver's side  has a small dent; (see picture)

5. Trunk needs new trunk mat.

As you can see I have $17. 00 plus invested in the car. It will have a reserve much less than what I have invested. but please bid accordingly and don't let this deal pass you by. Happy Bidding!
