Not mine. Cool 4 door. https://cleveland.craigslist.org/pts/d/geneva-1959-buick-invecta/7119251215.html "This car is a nice driver runs good car is untouched it has dents and no rust holes Has a 401 nail head engine everything is original except for the seat covers. Open for cash offers"
Pretty clean for an untouched car. Interesting- radio delete... but still got the dash-top speaker grille. Has the same green-colored interior my car had. [shudder]
I like it! Too bad it's cost double what the guy wants to get it here though, after exchange, taxes, shipping and other "incidentals".
See I am a green guy. I don't mind it at all. Set of seat covers and you are set. 5k. Find those door panels that nice. Great weekend etc ride.
It's a Plain-Jane radio delete but I want it...I don't care if it has 4 doors. I like that green. It's an Invicta, and geared right the car will be stupid fast and show up respectably against any young idiot in a Rustang. The 60 Invicta I had used to do just that, and it was also a Plain-Jane car. The only disadvantage this thing has is that it was designed for power steering and doesn't have it, so it's a bear to park. But...with the internet these days, a guy could load that car right out with enough time and digging... yeah, too bad it'd cost a mint to get it here, otherwise I'd have already called.
There's no gear options; TwinTurbine equipped, it'll have a 3.23 rear. It's a mid-10 sec car to 60, maybe 9.9 on it's best day. A 5-yr old V6 Mustang does 60 in 5.5 secs. A 15-yr old V6 Mustang hits 60 in 6.9 secs. Recent V8s are in the mid 4s. With all due respect; did the young idiots know you were racing them?
Well, that’s very true. But picking this up now to drive... not many Mustang II’s or even ‘90s 4-cyl’s left running around.
There are Coyotes EVERYWHERE,...90% of the guys on this forum better leave the new 5.0s alone,...you will be throughly embarrassed,..the 4cly EcoBoost version won't be much better for you either Hell V6 Camarys and Kias will run off from most old stuff
And would still get pulled by a coyote ha,..the new stangs are hard to beat from a roll,..very efficient vehicles
I really like the 2015+ myself,..the new GT500 is probably the baddest American production car ever built
Whoa- that’s not showing much team spirit there. 600 HP Stg 2 / TH400 / 3.73 posi / 4200 lbs should best a 11-something Mustang GT (not taking anything away from the stang!).
(Sigh...) That's the one thing I'm beginning to loathe about this forum, there's always someone who has the statistics memorized and then has nothing better to do than to quote them in a somewhat snide retort seemingly just to prove a point and make themselves look smarter or better. Great; -have your thrill and your victory. You win; I'm an idiot. Yes, a modern Mustang will dust any 59 or 60 Buick; yes, most modern V-8s and a lot of V-6s are surprisingly quick. I'm not going to sit here and dispute that. OK, I owned my last Invicta over 30 years ago when the playing field was a little more level, and early Fox-Body Mustangs were a joke. And yes, they knew I was racing, I kept the car going for 6 months in gas and beer for me at $20 a hit. The point I was trying to make and evidently failed on is that the car will, considering it's wild looks, extra doors and age, actually surprise a few people in that it can move given the right equipment. Thanks guys, I'm outta here...
I've been thinking about this post. You only took a 15 year snap shot of a car that is 61 years old. There have been plenty of slow mustangs from 1964 on....
Again- completely true. I was merely responding to the implication of buying the above '59 and surprising anyone on the road today. My apologies if I misinterpreted that as meant in the present tense. In the past, I have no doubt Marc pulled respectable performance against a number of '70s-90s vehicles with a 401 Buick. I wish Buick had followed -say- Pontiac's path, and had a half dozen axle ratios and multi-carbs or a 'Super Duty' program where a given big Buick might be hiding a surprise under the hood. They had the engineering, they looked at numerous options in this era, just didn't pull the trigger until the mid '60s. IMO, Buick left a lot on the table. but maybe some of that was due to Corporate.
