    I picked this car up a while ago and I'm not sure what I should do with it. From what I can tell Mitchell Mathis might have been the second owner who sold it to the fellow I bought it from. I think it came from NC, the options are disc brakes, power bucket, tilt, floor shift, cruise, power windows, power locks, speed alert, upper peak moldings, side impact moldings and AC. Non posi but all number matching and date code correct. As you can see it needs everything. When I restored my 70 Stage 1 I replaced the same sheet metal with the exception of this car needs a trunk. The engine is locked up, not sure why. I did pull the distributor and find the roll pin sheered. You can see pics here http://www.v8buick.com/garage_vehicle.php?do=view_vehicle&id=177

    It's Cornet Gold, brown interior and top. Any thoughts?

    I saw it maybe 10 years ago sitting behind Mitchell's house. It has most all options. He sold it to a guy up in the Dakotas? if my memory is correct.

    Save it!!! With the full quarter panel that are out now buy a set and install on this car,make some patches for lower ft fenders and pretty straight forward from there.
