The Buick Special is an automobile by Buick that was produced between 1930 and 1996 across several model cycles, with gaps in between. The Special has the distinction of being the lowest-priced model in Buick’s lineup, and has spanned the full-size, mid-size and compact classes throughout its life. This 1955 Buick Special 2 Door Hardtop is towards the end of the full-size era before it became a mid-sizer in 1961. Coming from California with just 500 miles on the clock after an extensive build spanning over six years which was inspired by Jay Leno’s 55 Roadmaster. If you’re looking for a classic Buick restomod, here’s your ticket to buy a car that the seller reports has won trophies!
The Special got a new styling direction in 1949 which this 1955 Buick Special 2 Door Hardtop proudly displays in its custom blue and white paintwork which is reported to have been done professionally. It rolls on custom wheels with factory look, and the seller reports that all the chrome and steel bits have been re-done in an expensive process. Venturing inside, you are greeted by a blue interior that was re-upholstered in 2019. Two expansive bench seats form the accommodations, and all the brightwork gleams as the pictures show. The instrument panel has seen modern gauges fitted in the factory pods. The window cranks are actually switches. A Vintage A/C system will keep everyone cool, and a sound system that reportedly cost $10,000 will ensure that your tunes come through loud and clear. The steering wheel’s thin rim is also in blue, with a chrome ring.
While the Buick Special was offered by the factory with a range of six and eight cylinder engines of up to 364ci, this one has got a Chevrolet 502ci (8.2L) crate engine that drives the rear wheels through a Turbo 400 automatic transmission and 3.73 custom rear end. The seller reports the output to be around 500hp and 502lb.ft of torque, and the engine exhales through a custom 3-inch dual exhaust which no doubt allows it to sing a thunderous song as well. The suspension is reportedly modern, and disc brakes on all four wheels assure that you will stop as well as you go.
