Well I figured I'd give this another shot. Hopefully this year it won't be all tire kickers that just want to check out a nice car and waste my time.

This is a highly customized 1956 Buick Special hardtop. 322ci Nailhead V8 engine, 2 spd Dynaflo tranny. 83,000 original miles, runs well, especially for the crappy gas we have nowadays. New whitewall tires ~5000km ago, body is in pretty decent shape (a little bit of rust and a ding in the front bumper) overall although a paintjob wouldn't be out of the question since it's currently a semi-flat black which some people aren't fans of. '59 Caddy wheels, lowered 4 1/2", shaved handles/locks/emblems/hood ornaments/body trim, full custom black and silver tuck and roll interior, upgraded 6 speaker stereo front Pioneer 5" speakers, Pioneer 6x9" rears and two 10" subs with Phoenix Gold QX4150 amp(electrical system converted from original 6v to 12v), polished aluminum fuel cell mounted in trunk, new MSD hi flow fuel pump.

This is all I have for interior shots....so you're going to have to deal with the hot woman being in the middle of them.....and before someone asks, no she doesn't come with the car.

I don't really want to sell the car, I love driving it, but the lure of a Mazda Cosmo is just too much to resist.

Asking price is $7600 obo. and includes the factory service manual (cost me $80 at a swap meet...damn rare manuals!)

Contact Matt at (780)720-2365 or email at [email protected] , car is located just outside Edmonton at the moment, but I'll most likely be bringing it back into the city in the next couple weeks. If you can't wait until then to see it just let me know.

Thanks.

Just a little more info. The car is sitting on custom made coils all around, but because they are coils on all 4 corners, airbags would be very easy to install. I just never got around to it with having to save for school.:thumbsup:

I honestly couldn't tell you how much the fun fur costs as I bought the car with the interior already done.

Now this car has style!

You should try Canadian Rodder's website or the HAMB. THey are probly a better place to sell this type of car.

I would buy it but I have to many cars already so BUMP!

BTW, anyone buying this car will get an awsome deal. My boss just bought one of these with rusted out floors and got a smoking deal at $2000 so 7600 for a running, straight car is amazing!

It's not too bad for parts. The basic maintenance stuff you can order at Partsource (brakes, oil filters). There are also a few sites online that stock pretty much everything for the Buicks at very reasonable prices.

http://www.buick-parts.com/ being one of them.
