Buick Roadmaster (1953)
for sale

Price: US $3,500.00

Description:

1953 Buick Roadmaster looking for a good home. First year for V-8 and 12 volts, last year for the large waterfall grille. Power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission. Runs and drives well, but brakes not pumping up after sitting. (Emergency brake will hold just enough against idle to drive around the yard and onto a trailer, though). Covered storage for many years. Only rust I've found underneath are two small patches in front floors (see images). Trunk, tire well, rear floors, frame, fender wells, and rockers are all solid. One rear window cracked, the rest of the glass is clean. Older prep for paint was before my ownership and is oxidized. There's a little flaking on the roof but otherwise it's a decent primer base. Stainless is in good shape. Chrome is dull but not pitted (has not been cleaned in images). Missing one grille tooth (there's a parts car a few blocks away that has one - guy is super reasonable). Mustache has a crack on left and bumper sits closer to fender on that side. Small dent on front left lip of hood. Came with damaged right headlight bezel and likely the fender has an older repair at headlight. I sourced a clean replacement and both bezels are in trunk. Interior restoration is in good condition for its age and does not have any desert rodent damage. Vintage whitewalls look cool, have held air for two years and have a lot of tread, but are pretty old. Engine is strong, non-smoker, and complete except for the air cleaner top. Stromberg Aeroquad equipped. Electric fuel pump. Clear AZ title. Auction does not include battery shown in images. Selling to finance another project. Will sell without motor if you're looking to update the drivetrain. I can be reached at 520-250-7027 to field questions or concerns. Immediate $500 deposit for buy it now, full payment in 7 days. I can help with temporary storage or assist loading transport.
