THIS CAR NEEDS A FEW THINGS YET:
1. NEEDS REAR SEAT REUPHOLSTERED TO MATCH FRONT SEAT. ALSO HAVE THE HEADRESTS BUT THEY NEED TO BE RECOVERED AS WELL.
2. NEEDS A FRONTEND ALLIGNMENT AND SOME GOOD ROAD TESTS TO DIAL ALL THE NEW SUSPENSION STUFF IN. (YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO JUMP IN THIS CAR AND DRIVE IT HOME YET UNLESS YOU LIVE ON MY BLOCK)
3. NEEDS DRIVEN.
THIS CAR WAS BUILT AND I NEVER GOT AROUND TO FINISHING IT. MOTOR IS EITHER A 74 OR 75 BLOCK. VERY CLEAN SO I MADE SURE TO CHANGE HEAD GASKETS AND ALL OTHER GASKETS BEFORE I PUT IT IN. YES THIS CAR STARTS, IDLES, RUNS AND DRIVES NICELY! LIGHTS WORK, INTERIOR LIGHTS WORK, TAIL LIGHTS WORK, SIDE MARKER LIGHTS WORK, HEATER WORKS, WIPERS WORK, DOOR BUZZER WORKS. BODY IS NICE AND STRAIGHT EXCEPT FOR 1 SMALL DENT IN PASSENGER DOOR. FENDERS ARE REAL NICE, NO BONDO PATCHES OR RUST, INNER FENDERS ARE CLEAN SOUTHWESTERN BEAUTIES, NEW RADIATOR SUPPORT AS WELL. DOORS ARE CLEAN, QUARTERS WERE CHANGED EARLY IN ITS LIFE AND HAVE HELD UP GREAT. FLOORS ARE FAIR, SOME SURFACE RUST UNDERNEATH BUT LOOKS OK. TRUNK IS FINE. BUMPERS ARE FAIR, GRILLE HAS 1 OR 2 REPAIRS TO STUDS, GS HOOD IS VERY NICE, BRAKES RALL NEW FROM THE BOOSTER TO ALL LINES, FIRES RIGHT UP AND ALL I EVER DID WAS YARD DRIVE IT. POWER TOP WORKS FINE. WILL DRIVE UP ON ANY TRAILER NO PROBLEM. NO PLATES OR INSURANCE!

NOT AN ORIGINAL GS BUT HAS EVERYTHING ON IT THAT ONE CAME WITH. NOT ASKING $50K NEITHER. I DONT NEED YOUR HELP SELLING IT SO PLEASE DONT ASK. I AM IN NO HURRY TO SELL BUT THOUGHT I WOULD SEE IF ANY INTEREST IN A VERY COOL CLASSIC MUSCLE CAR.

ONLY REASON I AM SELLING IS BECAUSE I HAVE A 70 CHEVELLE RESTORE IN WORK AND A 55 BELAIR RESTORE NEXT UP. NEED THE GARAGE SPACE. THIS BUICK HAS NOT SEEN RAIN OR SNOW SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT.
I CAN HOLD IT INDOORS FOR 30 DAYS AS LONG AS IT IS PAID IN FULL AT NO COST. THIS IS A USED CAR WITH A TON OF NEW PARTS BUT I AM GIVING NO WRITTEN OR VERBAL WARRANTIES. YOU BUY IT AND YOU OWN IT....
YOU ARE BUYING IT AS IS AND IT DOES NOT LEAVE MY GARAGE TILL PAID IN FULL! NO EXCEPTIONS!
VERY NICE START TO A FINE BUICK MUSCLE CAR... CLEAN NEW MEXICO TITLE IN MY NAME!!
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS *******. ********
7 DAYS AND IF NOBODY WANTS IT, I WILL START PARTING IT OUT! EVERYTHING WAS BOUGHT NEW OR IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
CLEAN CLEAR NEW MEXICO TITLE IN MY NAME. SHOW ME WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO FIND A CONVERTIBLE A-BODY THIS NICE FOR UNDER $15K?
