my latest purchase

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:

 

Sweet.

 

any engine pics?interior?

 

Bob this has all the indicia of one Jason's finds except for the requisite pending divorce.

 

Nice score! Somehow, the 67's look ok as a post coupe, unlike the 68-72 cars. Was it cheap?

 

I probably paid more than jason would have, but i need to be able to sleep at night..:TU:

 

I like the car by the way.

 

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:

 

Very cool. Gotta love the post cars.

 

Very Nice. John

 

That is a neat looking car Bob. Something about the way that car looks really appeals to me.

 

perhaps it's the unmolestedness of it...

 

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

 

Intervention anyone?:Brow:

That 67 is sweeeeet!!

 

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.

 

That is a pretty sweet car there. The unmolestedness definitely has an appeal to it. Nice find :TU:

 

Post car with little hub caps , huh , do I hear sleeper ??

 

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.
