Selling one of the seven to recoup some of the investment... its a nice original car, not molested, runs good, 401, auto, buckets, console, shows 100K on the mileage and I would agree with it, stored for over 10 years, has AC but does not blow cold, PS, PB, looks to have been painted once, rear window area looks to be very solid, has some slight bubbling in small areas to which I think it was bad prep when repainted, (I tell it like it is) needs tires, windshield is cracked but another brand new one goes with sale, drivers seat is ripped but seat covers for front and rear seats are included as well, this would be a great car to restore, the finned buick valve covers will be removed and replaced with original valve covers (Sorry I want these! ) Taking $500.00 off for V8 buick members from the asking price i have listed in the Auto Trader. Asking $7,600.00 Tom (727) 527-1068 (St. Pete Florida) tellie@knology.net
More pics Had a few more pictures I wanted to add, if you want to see any others please ask and I will shoot more when I get some time and post on the board.
It is a 2 speed turbine 400 and for those who requested more shots I will try to get them tonight for you. Tom
More pics... sorry but I didn't get all that were asked, I will try again tonight as need to send them to work to adjust the size and had issue's doing that with the 60+ pictures I took.
more pics, Like my original message stated, I will not hide anything, when taking pictures yesterday I was surprised at the rust I did see on this car (When I initially walked into that pole barn and seen all seven cars I was pretty stunned to put it mildly) this would be a great car to clean up and drive every day getting the big thumbs up and honks!
By the way "unfortuntely" the underside of the car pictures are the one's I had issues with, I will try again tonight on those.
more pics The dash pad is not cracked, the deal will include a brand new windshield I purchased at Daytona Rod Run, and also new front and rear seat covers (This car really only needs the drivers side as the rest is nice, but I got replacements for all 7 cars when I bought them so they must just as well be included).
66 Gs Hello, I am interested. Can I call you later today/tomorrow (what time would be best)? I am in a time zone that is one hour ahead of GMT, 6-7 hours ahead of Florida. You said you were asthonished concerning the rust - does that mean that there's less than expected or? Can the car be driven or must something be fixed first, brakes, engine, tranny?? If I end up getting it, I would like to take it to meets this summer and then start to restore next winther if possible, we just nearly finished restoring my husbands Mustang so we need a little break. If I purchase the car, would you be helpful with the shipment, I guess the shipping company I want to use has a terminal in Miami. I assume the car has a clear title so it can be exported out of US? Best regards from Jette, Denmark
Jette, You can call me tomorrow between 9:00am and 9:00pm, or tonight after 5:00 to 9:00pm, I had thought this car was one of the cleanest of the 7 I bought and after crawling underneath and in the trunk for photo's there was rust that I didn't initially see when I first looked at the car is all. It is not structurally bad or anything like that. The car runs well, shifts well, stops well, etc... I have changed the oil, plugs, wires, points and battery and the car fired right up! but it has sat for over ten years so I would recommend looking it over before driving it but from the couple times I drove it around the block it was fine for me (I did not title it into my name or register it from the other owner yet) it does have a clear florida title. I would prefer not being involved in shipping but would gladly help loading the car on a hauler from my home if payment was made before hand. Tom
If you are interested in a correct original AM radio for this car (I noticed it was missing), I have 3 sitting at the house and would be glad to sell one of them.
Hi Brian, Do you have the angled brace for the underside of the radio? I had mine redone and need one. Thanks, Dan
Radio Brian, Thanks but for whatever reason he pulled the radio's all out of the cars (?) but I do have them. A couple are even AM/FM. Tom
hi tom, was wondering if you made any decision on the q/p. still very interested if you want to sell.. thanks ..pete
Pete, I am leaning towards keeping the quarter panel as I still hope to get a 66 GS convertible one day and would prefer to see what I end up with there before I make a decision on selling the quarter panel as I would really regret selling it if down the road I really need it since they are so hard to come by. The Blue 66 listed here is still available... it is not nearly as bad as I described if someone would just come see it. Tom
Hey Tom I was looking at the photo of all your cars on the truck.Is that a silver gs on top?Any details about it i love silver buicks. thanks
Yes, it is a silver 66 GS, Black vinyl roof (Not rot at all) black bucket interior, console, auto, surface rust, I have had this big dream of restoring this car because I love the color combo as well but that dream may be ending :error: I will post here first when it does come to that point. Tom
66 Silver gs Hey Tom If you ever have some time to take pic's i would love to see them.I would be intrested here's my silver 71 thanks
