https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Buick...les/233770647213?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144 I would love to have this one. I think of all the hours I have put into my 69, and still have hundreds of hours to go, and still mine will never be as nice as this one....makes it tempting to just write a check and buy one that's turn-key ready, if not show ready.
I wonder where he found a 1969 "period correct" 455? That would just be the first of many questions. Looks like it has the "paint everything black" undercarriage dealership detailing option. Asking price is $36,900.
That's pretty mean of you guys to be "ragging" on this car! I still say it looks nice, and I would gladly pay $17K for it, and just learn to live with the shame of it having a 455 under the hood instead of a 400. And if you hate black undercarriages, well, shame on you for being racist!
$17k yes, $36,900 asking price or close to it, NO! I got no problem with the 455 (I put one in my 69) but at least paint it the right color and don't call it "period correct" when you couldn't get a 455 in 69, and it is probably a 74-76 motor, lol!
There’s something to be said for that. Many times it costs way more to build than to buy. If a resto takes years to complete those years are missed out on for actual cruising/racing, etc. Or get another lower priced driver to use while the resto work continues.
This guy is a flipper dealer in Central Florida that has changes names several times. He comes across some nice cars and asks outrageous prices, they relist on Ebay many times then finally sell.
