Driving through a neighborhood last week and saw a open garage door with what looked like a buick covered in garage stuff. stopped and sure enough it was a 67 special. rang the doorbell and a lady who must have been 150 years old answered. I asked about the car obviously i was able to buy it. The 150 year old lady bought it new in 68 when she was 110 and stopped driving it about 15 years ago. it has sat in her garage since then and has been started every once in a while by her son. still has bias ply tires and is in pretty darn solid shape. interior is excellent except for split seams on the front seat. rubber floor matt instead of carpet, 300 3 barrel engine with st300 trans. not a single pit in the pot metal and bumpers are excellent. somehow i always end up with these post carsou: did i mention it only has 79000 miles pics are after i got it pushed out of her garage and was waiting for the towing company that forgot about me. :af:
Nice score Bob!! :beers2: Wow...all that thing needs is a good cleaning. Are you sure your not exaggerating about her age? I bet she was only 140p .
Thanks for the compliments on the car. no big block for this car. i'm going to enjoy it as is for a while.
I just have one question Bob.................. So when does the frame-off begin???:bla: Beth:grin: ps congrats it looks great:3gears:
Man.. when it rains it pours. Just got a call from some guy who heard i liked Buicks. he has a 66 Riviera with rebuilt engine and trans and excellent body.. wants $1500 for it. Guess i'll be going to look at it tomorrow after work :beer
Do you mean 2bbl, or is this some phenomenon I'm simply not aware of yet? I know Holley made a 3bbl back in the day.
it's a 2 barrel. I fat fingered the keyboard. I like the poverty caps enough that i'm having a hard time convincing myself to install the new 15 inch rallies.
