Re: Apr 20 1968 Buick Sportwagon $12500 (Lemon Heights Calif.) pic map cars & trucks That little gem has been hanging out on Craigslist for quite a while. Early on, the seller included pics of the interior which is not nearly pristine as the exterior. Minor demerits awarded for the 350 cubic inch engine. It would sell at $7,000, maybe. You would need another $2,000 to straighten out the interior and you would be golden. Tempting, but I already spend plenty on the one I own.
Re: Apr 20 1968 Buick Sportwagon $12500 (Lemon Heights Calif.) pic map cars & trucks Yeah, the lack of interior and engine bay pics were kinda suspect to how the condition was/is..
Re: Apr 20 1968 Buick Sportwagon $12500 (Lemon Heights Calif.) pic map cars & trucks Just curious, why demerits for the 350 engine? That's what Dads '68 SportWagon came with...
Re: Apr 20 1968 Buick Sportwagon $12500 (Lemon Heights Calif.) pic map cars & trucks MINOR demerits. In reality, there is probably little difference in top speed or trap speed between two 68 sportys, one with the 350 cubic inch engine and one with the 400 cubic engine. For me, in stock configuration, it comes down to driveability. More torque is available with the larger engine. I like my sporty just the way it is, but in a perfect world I would also like to build one with a GM ZZ502 crate engine and a Tremec 6 speed manual transmission. After all it's only money, right?
Re: Apr 20 1968 Buick Sportwagon $12500 (Lemon Heights Calif.) pic map cars & trucks Ok, I gotcha! :TU: I was afraid you were saying the 350 shoulda been a 340 or something... no worries! No doubt the 400 would be more better - I wish I'd been old enough to actually drive Dad's '68, but all I got to do was ride around in the back. Dad ordered it new, it had a little plate on the drivers door "This car assembled especially for James Myers", which I always thought was a cool touch. We drove the wheels off that car until it needed transmission work in '73 and Dad traded it in on a huge pos ch*vy wagon - and he's regretted it ever since!
