  1. Nice car. You might want to remove the photos of the Sloan docs with the key codes.

    BUICKRAT Got any treats?

    FYI, you guys were kinda hard on him, I didn't expect him to post anymore, due to his "warm welcome" from the supposedy respectful Buick community. Why is it so unbelievable to you guys that someone outside your network may actually have a nice real car? Guy's asking for some facts, not a psychiatric evaluation. Just my .02

    firered, that is a sweet car, I would be proud as hell to drive that thing around!:TU:

    I have been running the wheels off of it... 275/50/15 Goodyear eagle ST's on the back and this car blows them off at 35 mph and keeps spinning them halfway through second gear! On its way to the second cruise night in 2 days... 510 lb ft (or more) of torque is VERY addicting... I quite sure that I'm keeping this car and not flipping it. Lots of people have made me offers on it already. I'm actually going to enjoy driving it more because it's not perfect and it's not the original motor.

    I was kind of thinking the same thing........, asks for some advice, and then throws it in their face?

    Personally, I liked the "buyers hard-on" comment, it was absolutely correct, we have all been there. In fact I am typing with a hard-on right now.

    Looks like a nice car!

    Paperwork shows white interior (185), can you tell if it was dyed to black or replaced with black?

    I think the entire interior was swapped over to black from a donor car. Seats do not appear to be reproductions. Door panels are reproductions. Kick panels were sprayed black. Paperwork also shows that it was a white vinyl top too. Lots of options were added to the car at some point. Power windows, factory tach, rear defog, AM/FM are all on the car but not on paperwork. Can only assume someone swapped all this stuff into the car at sometime in its life.
