    ill post pics 2moro

    Before i start it, this car is bran new MECHANICALLY..

    car was started out as a drag project...inside is completey stripped...floors are RUST FREE..so is trunk...i repainted them...so they look bran new and solid!
    still have the rear seats and door panels.....
    has 1 racing seat...no rollcage
    bran new star shifter

    i have all the parts for a driver in a box...
    wipers,motor for wipers, rear view mirror...etc.....has no heat or a/c...like i said...great car for dragging...car has never been in a accident nor has major bondo(jus the minor work before painting so it would blend well)...feel free to bring a magnet when u come see it and run it over the whole car..perfect body in my eyes.

    car had a gs hood....but sold it..has no hood now...but comes with the org. skylark hood that is primered...

    engine is a 350..bored 40
    has about 1500 miles since rebuild...
    cam is a 218/218(it lumps pretty good)
    pretty much stock inside...
    heads were polished up..nothing major
    rebuilt q-jet
    hooker super comp headers...into a 1chamber flows dumps...
    engine has always seen 93 octane or better...
    oil changed every 6 months with mobil 1 10-30, lucas oil stabilzer..and a k&n oil filter

    paint is 1 year old...has a couple of defects...prolly a 7 out of a 10 in rating.

    trans is bran new
    th350...shift kit(racing shift kit)
    2800 stall...stalls at 2500
    trans has maybe 100 miles on it..shifts hard and firm

    bran new tires and wheels....14x6 cragers in front...15x10 in back..tires are 195 in front....295 in back

    ...(i had a bran new posi and 411s that i sold..dont ask why)

    rear end is a stock open 308..as i was told.....


    and now..the reason
    hard times are callin and my head points that i need to go to school..asap
    bills are 2 much and this is a toy....i need a good dd to drive to school and back and my 92 custom is about dead...not to even mention credit card debt...

    im askin prolly alot for this year and that engine size but i need as much as i can get...

    $6000 obo..i have over 10 or more into this car and i know it dosent matter...i jus need a good offer

    and last but not least...i will NOT SELL TO ANYBODY
    I have too much love for this car and it has to go to somebody that will treat it better then me. It has been garaged since i had it(5years?) and never drivin in bad weather..EVER.
    This car is rust free...come by and see for yourself.....i hate to sell it but right now im barely scrapping by...like i said...if its nice 2moro ill take pics...if not ill wait to its nice outside and post them then

    im in raleigh, nc....right outside knightdale

    and im sorry for the incorrect spelling and grammar.....you have no idea it is to put the only thing that has been keeping me sane up for sale....this car needs a good owner...and this buick site is full of them...so lemme kno wat you guys think..any tips would be grateful.......that is all

    Don't thing you are doing anything wrong. Good pics and description.
    It's only been a week or so. Takes patience. Also most of the members already have a few Buicks and maybe one or two more than they need.
    Keep advertising here and other places, it'll sell eventually.
    You young whippersnappers are always so impatient!:laugh:

    Kyle, I'll be by to look at it Saturday or Sunday on my way back from Winston-Salem. I'll give you a ring when I firm up which day it will be.



    Ain't that the truth.

    Kyle,

    Your car looks really nice! I have two ideas (suggestions) that may help with the sale. Put the Skylark hood on, even if it's only in primer. Lower the rear ride height, if you have air shocks, let the air out. If the rear springs are keeping the height up, then I would get correct springs to lower it. Take pictures with these changes and I'll bet you will get more interest.
