I am moving to Seattle in 2 weeks, and just got a place rented up there. It only has a two car garage, and I have decided I need to part with my 56 buick project.
The car is a 1956 buick special 4 door (no post, riviera model). I have already done lots too it. I stripped it down, primed it with dp90, bought new glass for the side windows (still in the box). and I installed a camaro subframe and LT1 engine/4l60e auto transmission. Well, the engine and tranny are sitting in it anyway, they need to be moved back about 6 inches, and hooked up.
Still to be done... needs a modern rear end under it (any 80s caprice works nicely), and if you want to put a modern column or whatever... or use the old one.
Anyway, it has all chrome, all bits. It was originaly a mesa AZ car, so the only rust is two small spots inthe lowers of hte rear doors (I havent addressed them, just stripped and reprimed for now).
Even have brand spankin new white walls.
I hate to let it go, but will just not have the time or the space to play with it.
will be posting it up on craigslist also, but wanted cruiserheads to get first shot at it.
here is a pic or two, plus a link that may or may not work to more details. priced to move.... $1500 cash.
