Not a bad price for something that nice.

 

11 Thousand Miles ??? Huuummm?
I see six things in the pictures that i would wonder about...with 11k miles?
I'll have to drive 3 Miles and take a look at it.
Eric / Oregon

 

I wonder why someone added an antenna to the front fender. All '70 Buick A-body cars had the antenna in the windshield, even if they were ordered without a radio.


The vinyl top appears to have been replaced because the seam is not in the correct place in the rear below the back window.


The dash chrome looks terrible for such a low mileage car and the brake pedal pad and seat belt buckle both show a lot of wear for 11k miles. I wonder what the switches are for above the rear window defogger switch?

I'm not saying it's not an 11k mile car but someone needs to check it out closely rather than believe the seller.

 

50+ year old car, i'am sure a lot of things have been replaced.

I have a hard time believing the mileage myself. That comes out to be about 212 miles per year. That spent a lot of time in the garage if this is the case for low mileage.
Pics always make a car look better than they really are.
I've seen this many times. Vet

 

That brake pedal pad speaks volumes. Nice looking car, though!

Get better reception for his CB radio.

 

Also, take a good look at the pull knobs on the kick panel?

 

I’ve owned cars under 20k miles that were definitely nicer than that. I say it’s 111,000,but I have bought a few cars from Oregon that were extremely clean. Regardless,it’s a nice survivor of some sort. I wonder how close Bob lives to that car. I had him look at a truck that I bought. I’m a sucker for a rust-free non-AC car.

 

Brings back memories. Same colors/base interior as my 1st Buick (1st vehicle was a '70 factory Buick 350 powered Jeep Wagoneer). Bought it in '84 & was a really nice car.

Of course low mileage doesn't necessarily mean well kept, but here's what a low mileage dash should look like. This is I believe Jim Hirt's (sp? - IIRC from IA?) little old lady drove it church car (also red but this is the only pic I have of it). IIRC the story correctly she didn't get her license & buy it until she was in her 50's or 60's.

 

Someone added a second side view mirror.

 

I contacted the seller. We’ll see where this goes.

 

I wonder if the one owner had this car serviced by the Buick dealer and if they have maintenance records?
One owner, must have bought this car new. Vet

 

As far as the fender antenna LOTs of people here in the PNW upgraded to the fender style...... Those windshield antennas were a useless here......

 

I am the same way. I always look at the brake
pedal. One of the most tell tale signs if a car is a low mile original vehicle. Unless they can provide documentation you can usually add a 100,000 miles to what the claim.

 

Too many tells on this car for a true 11,000 mile original, also I’ll add that on odometers, the numbers always line up perfectly until they get upwards of 80,000 miles. It takes that many revolutions for wear and inconsistencies of the different tumblers to start showing up.
Even so, it’s a well taken care of 111,000 mile car, should be about $9-10,000 value.

 

The seller bought it from the original owner. If there was any paperwork to prove it was 111,000 miles,I’m sure it got mis-placed. I value it as a rust-free car that is non-AC. Not the easiest to find since most of them were in the rust belt. I’d rather it not have a vinyl top,but if it’s all tight up there,I’m OK with it. You can easily have $15-$20k in rust repair on these cars,depending on the extent. If this has absolutely zero,that’s a value some don’t see. I’d also like to see the passenger fender and radiator support. That’s not from climate as much it is from the battery. Bob is not available to look at it,but he is getting me connected with another local that is also a Buick guy,so we will see what happens.

 

The seller is a dealer (of sorts) that bought it at an auction here in WA, car has 111k miles. I was going to look at it, but it was being sold the day my Riv was ending on BAT and I was recovering from hip surgery. They wanted about half what he is selling it for now, and it looks like all he did was clean it up.

Details

• Condition
  Used – good

This classic car has had 1 owner for the past 54 years. The car has not been in any accidents and the body is nice and straight. The engine is a 350 -02 and was rebuilt at 45,000 miles. It sounds great! The original miles on the odometer is 111,000. The chrome bumper, fender and trim are in great condition. The seats are original and are without tares or rips. The vinyl top was replaced at some point and when it was purchased it was undercoated. Unfortunately mice got into the car at some point this past year while it was stored, so the interior needs a good cleaning. We are considering offers through this weekend.
