It looks to be a fairly decent car. Mechanically, the suspension usually has very few problem--mostly electrical.

The 55's had a 20 amp fuse that is marginal with age so it could be as simple as that. Brake light switch is a known issue and if the owner used silicone fluid probably a good bet. Control box, solenoids, limit switch all available and reasonable.

Mechanically, the worst case is a limit switch failed and the bars and gearbox sustained some damage, but parts available and not too terrible, so all in all if the car hasn't been wrecked, nothing is a serious show stopper with suspension--just needs ingenuity sometimes.
