Question by c3: How much would restoring a 1958 Buick Special cost?
I found a really nice light blue ’58 Buick Special that they’re asking 8900 for, no restorations except a new coat of paint. The spedometer, windshield wiper motor, and am radio don’t work. How much would it cost to fully restore it, with new upholstery, new chrome, fixing the 3 things that are broken, and just other general restorations? Thanks.
I’m planning on restoring it myself

If you plan on doing most of the work your self, it will cost a lot less, but seeing how your asking the question, I’m guessing you want to pay some one to restore it for you. Your looking at anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 dollars, depending on what it needs. most of the money will be on labor. I you take out the seats, and the chrome, have the seat reupholstered, have the chrome stripped and re dipped, you will save a bit of money. The speedometer could just be a bad cable. The wiper motor is way cheaper if you go aftermarket or have it rebuilt and do the install your self. The radio can also be repaired. Shop around and find a quality electronic guy and shops.

It should be navy blue in colour, interior ivory leather 80% features and I want the Continental Flying Spur! Not Speed!!!

(cost means both if I were to buy it on the spot or if I were to lease…yearly payment)
