For Sale: 1958 Buick Special in Lavergne, Tennessee for sale in La Vergne, TN
Vehicle Description The 1958 Buick Special is one of the most unique looks of the era that we can basically call this a single-year design.
And while its style keeps these in-demand, this one truly lives up to its Special name because of the level of care and investment that went into its restoration.
This sedan is the product of a nearly five year restoration that was completed less than a decade ago.
This was a labor of love and we even have a clipping from Hagerty's magazine that gives the details.
As you look over the whole car , you can instantly see why it takes so long to get it right.
The sheetmetal takes the imposing wide style of the new 1958 front end, and it mixes with the classic Buick elements, like the stylish dip in the door line.
The correct Mariner Blue had an excellent respray during the restoration, and so it has a great modern metallic luster to show off these elements.
And the white roof goes so well with the classic whitewall tires.
There are terrific chrome elements that were exclusive to the '58.
This includes the wide grille that's intricate enough to be on a Cadillac, and the rocket-like brightwork that consumes the full rear fenders and doors.
And while there are big elements of shine, this also has some outstanding small details.
Like the way the trim line almost seamlessly encircles the headlights, rounds the front end, and then sweeps down the side through both doors.
To get his level of impressive presentation, everything needs to be straight, complete, and brilliant.
That's why this one is memorable in its first glance.
The blue and white theme continue inside.
The two-tone continues is expertly intertwined on the seat and door panels, and the blue carpeting and white headliner coordinate, too.
The dash is particularly impressive for linking the two-tone, including the steering wheel and the stylish tuck & roll dash pad.
And just like the exterior, you can really see the difference in quality a multi-year restoration makes.
Sedans like this were meant to be enjoyed by everyone.
That's why there's plenty of room for family and friends.
And while this has a true classic atmosphere, the vintage looking radio is really an AM/FM unit with an iPod input so you can have the best driving music.
The engine bay continues this car's time capsule style.
This is the numbers-matching 364 cubic inch V8, and it has a true classic style everywhere you look.
Classic GM fans will love pointing out details like the big green block, Delco-Remy generator, correct AC air grabber, and the glass washer fluid bottle.
But what you'll really love about this is the investment in quality.
The receipt file documents a large investment in a motor rebuild during the restoration.
And proper care ever since then means you have a V8 that fires up nicely and runs smoothly.
The automatic transmission was also part of this servicing, too, so this one is ready to hit the road.
In fact, as you look underneath, you'll see that they updated this sedan with newer springs, newer sway bar mounts, and power front disc brakes.
Add in power steering and a modern tread behind those classic whitewalls, and you have a recipe for a great cruiser.
The sale comes complete with some great extras, including build receipts, service manuals, a history lookup, a car cover, and a letter from a previous owner.
This is the unique classic with a story to tell.
So if you want a car you can drive and show, call today!.
