    My daughter (17 years old) is looking for a '68 or '69 A-body. She loves these cars and wants to to drive daily while she learns to work on it.
    She has $3000 to spend and wants something she can drive home please

    We are in Montana and are looking up to 1000 miles out from Billings.
    She will consider '64 thru '72 in condition and price are right, but prefers the late sixties.

    Thank you very much.

    I saw a red 68 on craigslist. Looks a little rough, but says runs and drives. There used to be another red 68 that looked to be in better cosmetic shape, think in Wyoming. I'll try to keep an eye out. Hell if this was a few months ago I'd have sold you mine, but now i have more invested in it.

    That may be a difficult price point to find a daily driver, that needs an acceptable level of work done to it that doesn't cost a small fortune in hard to find 68/69 parts.

    I use SearchTempest, but I don't like it, as you have to go through every darn city. Jaxed was the best before it got shut down, I could do a search of old Buicks for sale on CL across the US and it would take less than 10 minutes to see everything new.

    Thank you for your help Chris!

    I figured it anyone can find a decent '68 or '69 it would be you.

    I will forward these to my daughter. I just excited she's excited about old Buicks at 17 years old!

    Please keep them coming anyone who has any leads. I have found a few but they are either too far away (Miami...) or already sold.

    Cheers,

    I have a 69 skylark 2-door post that has new floors, new seat OPG seat covers (front/rear bench) and a clean title. It runs and drives. It is a project, but it is road worthy. Located in Oklahoma. 405-880-5343. Upholstery is in the process of being installed.

    I am asking $3k, but for a V8 buick member, Ill do $2500

    Yes, sorry I haven't replied, very busy this weekend.

    Thank you for the pics, but we are going to pass, it's a good project, but she doesn't want that much of a project before making it a daily driver.
    She has found a couple in Oregon that fit the bill but that's too far away. We'll keep looking.
    Thank you again,
