Description:
1938 Buick 4 Door Sedan Series 40 Special Model 41 - Under Restoration - Approximately 40 to 60% restored (opinions very), ground up restoration. Started some years ago. Original color was dark green based on color code. Has a totally original re-machined to specs Straight 8 Stock Engine. (Engine has not been driven to accumulate any miles since rebuilt, its brand new) runs perfectly. Re-finished woodgrain style dash, re-stored steering wheel, restored gauges, new glass and much more. Replacement OEM wiring harness and new wiring throughout. Drivetrain has been restored with original replacement as needed parts. New white wall tires, re-finished wheels and hub caps. Lots of re-plating and replacement plated parts where needed. A second set of new tires never driven on. Re-chromed bumpers and guards. All parts on vehicle are refinished or replaced with proper parts or have been sandblasted, premiered and new finish coat in black paint to seal metal. All new rubber parts and pieces. New glass cut from old original windows with proper thickness. Seats still have original mole hair covering and need re-done if preferred. New finish paint is still needed. Interior head lining still needs installed/replaced. Lots of parts original included. Fenders and Running Boards still need minorwork. Mileage is zero on Motor. Actual mileage to be determined. Restoration may not be exact to dealer/manufacturer details. Fair price of $7,600.00. A new motor alone would cost $3K to 4K, Have title. last registered in the state of Virginia. Restored value 40 to 60K.Note: I have had some feedback since listed, some say it's not all original others said it's too much just a project car. What I can tell you is I have been involved in this car since my dad started it. I can assure anyone that all details of restoring this car have been taken with great appreciation to keeping it year dated and stock original. (With exception on the color) my dad bought 2 other same model Buicks just for parts to ensure original part's stayed on this car. If we couldn't restore a part, we had it sent out and had it re-done professionally. Some body work done as well as the fenders were all lead sweated and/or had sheet steel used to repair it all done by a (30+ year auto body specialist). Some smaller parts may have spots of filler used to repair it but that would be very minimal. The engine was done by a certified machinist and put back together following all GM book specs down to the proper torque. I can provide some helpful guidance and information if needed as long as I'm around or available. If you need other pictures, please let me know I will provide you with them. 10/1/23 updated description, added some additional pics. 2/23/24 added more pics of fenders to go on car and extra (spare parts fenders, front doors, hood, bumpers) last 4 or 5 pics. Not pictured also included, transmission, engine parts Camshaft, Cam, Head, block, body trim and more.
