1947 Buick Special 2 Door Description
1947 Buick Special 2-Door Sedanette
I purchased this Buick in February, 2015 and have only put about 1700 miles on it. This was an impulse buy and it is not driven enough to keep it up and to pay the insurance. This car is a real eye catcher with the young and oldwanting to talk to you about it whenever you take it out. I'll describe it front to back but please check it out for yourself since it sits so much. The car was purchased running in Georgia butneeded work that was not disclosed to me. The front bumper was located, primed and painted - not chromed. The 350 runs good but is the lowest horsepower possible so it is dependable but has little power. It has a rebuilt 700R4 automatic transmission that shifts good. The interior looks good but the headliner could use a little tucking in the corners. It has the Moon gauges and a nice stereo with a remote. I had the ratchet shifter removed and a console and normal shifter installed. Heat and air both work and a cutoff valve has been installed on the heater hose to cut the heat in the driving compartment. Some window rubber needs to be replaced and the regulators on the back windows do not work. The headlights, tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, and wipers work. Extensive work on the rear end has been done to keep it from shifting while driving. The back end has been customized, the trunk handle has been shaved and the trunkwill not lock. The wheels and tires were new when I bought it and are still in like new condition.The hood needs adjusting to removed the gap shown in the pictures. Although I cannot sell the car with a warranty, I believe you can fly in a drive this car to wherever you need to go. A great car to own and it will be released as soon as the paymentclears thebank. This is the specifications sheet I received when I purchased the car:
