    I went and looked at this one on Monday. There's a little time left on it, so let me know if you want any details:

    Car is Black, though I think it was originally white. Body has very little rust and looks like it has a couple of rust repairs already. Paint looks good in bad light, but haven't seen it in the daytime. slight curvature of the rear bumper looks like a low speed rear-ender happened; hardly noticeable, but trunk doesn't close easily.

    Interior is dark blue, base skylark. Bench seats with cloth. Headliner and seats look OK. Front bench has a cover on it, carpet has a few holes on the driver side. Few holes on rear seat fabric near the package tray, but probably repairable. Not show-quality, but not embarassing. Nice aftermarket stereo, and a couple of gauges in the ashtray (oil, H2O). He says it blows cold air.

    Engine is very clean on top. Didn't check the numbers on the block, so I don't know if it is the original motor, but it is a Buick motor, and is not a big block. Has a T/A Stage1 aluminum manifold and a newer carb on it with an aftermarket air cleaner. Aftermarket coil and plug wires. Didn't look at the battery tray, but the radiator looked to be in good shape. Oil pan gasket leak. Sounded good, but I think it was running a little rich because the carb was out of adjustment. Oil smelled fine as did the transmission fluid. Started right up when he turned it over.

    Didn't take it for a drive. He said he rebuilt the whole front-end on it, but I didn't ask him for reciepts.

    I think he said his reserve is around $3k, and if he doesn't get that for it, he'll just keep it.

    I live about 5 miles from this guy, so let me know if you want me to get any more info on it for you.
