Description:

. Completely numbers matching including every component. This was a top of the line Buick back in 1955. It was sold new at Standard Motors in Southern California where it had remained in storage until 1994. It wears the original factory two tone coat of Dover White over Cadet Blue. This is an
ULTRA-RARE
time capsule with only a small handful like it left in the world,
(A professional appraiser estimated that maybe only 4-5 survivors with this kind of low milage & level of originality may still exist worldwide).
This same exact car model has sold for $148, 500.00 fully restored
in 2008 at the exclusive Barrett-Jackson Auction as seen here

The only difference between this car up for auction and the one that sold for $148, 500.00 at Barrett-Jackson in 2008 is that this car has Even Less Milage! (31, 657 vs. their 37, 115),
AND
includes many rare goodies like the original tire panels, hubcaps, Floor runner, Oil bath air cleaner, ect.
Today, in 2015 this car could easily in the same restored condition, sell for over 200K
! I got a quote from an reputable company for a ground up restoration on this vehicle and was told that appx. 15-20k and six months time would be required to make it as perfect as the Barrett-Jackson car. That means that your ROI, (Return on investment), with the proper restoration can be truly impressive. In today's economy, Many investors are investing in classic cars due to how they hold & increase in value and especially the rarities like this one. I am reluctantly selling it only because I have a great startup business opportunity and do not have the time to give it the proper full restoration it deserves.
The interior is 100% completely original as well, and the carpet is nice from the protection of the original rubber mats
. Very straight body with all original panels, no repairs including no filler at all. The floors, frame and trunk are rust free.
This 1955 Buick Super Riviera was stored for a few decades and brought back to life in late 2013
. It starts right up and the original 322 Nailhead V8 runs great. Very smooth and no smoking. Still has the original factory oil bath air cleaner! and it is completely original under the hood. Good condition bias polyester tires with spare, 5th wheel cover, and jack hardware. Unbelievably, Original fender skirts are also included as shown. Awesome patina just look at it.. Sporting it's four signature round VentiPorts
per fender and classic 50's elegance, it is just an amazing vehicle to make yours. I just took over 80 pictures to show it well, (24 included here).
This car has been stored since 1994 and the original discontinued California black license plate is also included
. The brakes feel good but they have not been rebuilt or inspected so I have not yet taken it out on the street. I had planned on going through them first to be safe, but I haven't had the time. I have only driven it on my property after it came off the auto carrier, and the brakes seem to be impressively strong considering their age.
I will work with international buyers. Please email with any questions you have and I will answer them quickly, thoroughly, and honestly. Thank you and good luck!
