Buick Special (1956) for Sale in IL

This 1956 Buick 2-door hardtop Special is a remarkable example of classic automotive craftsmanship, the result of a complete restoration. Every component, from the smallest nut and bolt to the intricate bodywork, has been either replaced, reconditioned, or completely new. Finished in a stunning Seminole Red and white paint combination, the Buick’s sleek body is both timeless and eye-catching. The car features rare factory air conditioning that has been upgraded to R134a and blows cool air, ensuring comfort on hot days. Power steering, power brakes, and a Twin Turbine Dynaflow automatic transmission make driving this beauty a pleasure. Under the hood, the 322 cubic inch Nailhead V8 engine, originally rated at 220 horsepower, now produces an estimated 255 horsepower thanks to the installation of Century pistons. This engine is mated to a Borg Warner automatic transmission, which was also rebuilt during the restoration.
