This car spent most of it's life on a showroom floor. We bought it 6 years ago after my wife got totaled in a 98 escort and wanted a real car again from the family of the dealer I was working for after the original dealerships owner died and they went out of business. It had 40,000 miles on it then that were all demo miles from it's first 2 years of life. Now it has about 140,000 on it.


It has the 455 4 barrel engine with T-400 trans. I went completely through the engine replacing all the gaskets that had dried up from sitting so long, replaced the intake with a Eddelbrock performer, added a holley carb which is gone right now because it was too big for our altitude after we moved here. It needs a 750 at sea level and a 650 up here. It's a 4 door with perfect interior, power everything. Only thing not working inside is the clock.


Exterior is medium blue and great looking. It could use new paint to be perfect but it really looks nice now. New Michelin tires, new rear coils, new shocks, new distributer, radiator, fan clutch, alternator, AC charged with R-12 and worked great last time I ran it. All kinds of new stuff but too much to list. We live on a farm now and the car is just not practical anymore. Last year the water pump sprung a leak and I started to fix it but most of the bolts broke off in the timing cover. I have the new pump but not a new timing cover.


So it's sitting in the garage just like I left it. No carb and needing a new timing cover.


We've spent a lot of time and money on this car but since we can't really even drive it down our driveway here it hasn't been a priority for repairing and really needs a new home. I would like to see it go to someone that appreciates a nice original looking car and will keep it that way. I did do some tweeking to the motor but that was it and only because repair parts are so hard to get. I've turned down several local sales because they all talked about putting 20 inch rims on it and making it a lowrider.


If you can give it a good home and are looking to keep it original then I am only asking 1000.00 cash for it. I can deliver for a mileage charge or you can arrange pickup yourself.


PLease email me if you are interested. Our Buick really needs a new home soon so I have room in the garage for tractors and other farm stuff.


Thanks,


Dan
