Im putting my wagons on the block ... Here's a link to some photo's taken yest. http://s101.photobucket.com/albums/m79/69gs400s/roadmaster/ That one is a '95, Factory installed LT1 motor / 4L60e tranny with tow pkg and posi. Never had a lick of problems since I bought it with ~70K on the clock. Everything original as far as I know. Buick 5x5 15" mags with decent tires. Runs and drives great - just took it on a 800 mile trip upstate. Cold A/C ... the power antenna even works. Could use front brakes, carpet isn't great (stains, not rub throughs), and back windows dont work. I bought the car out of Arizona from an older couple ... its been in the tri-state area since '03 and used as my daily driver (which is 7/10th of a mile to the train station m-f ... and I have other toys for nice weather weekend cruising) so it hasn't been (ab)used much. Never used for towing. Its not a pampered perfect wagon, but Im not asking what those would cost. The other one is a '94 dark blue with wood - its been a parts car since it took a swipe down the right side. Still runs very well ... about 150K on the clock If i remember well enough (i'll check tonight). It had an Opti / plugs / wires / water pump and all hoses replaced right before the accident 4 or 5 years ago. Robbed the steering wheel air bag, blower motor, rear gate popper and a few other odds and ends to upkeep the '95 but it "could" still be driven. Also have many parts - wood trim, side rubbers, 3 doors, front bumper, door cards, switches, 2 grilles, '96 Collectors Ed. hood emblem, etc. etc. etc. I am about to list it on CraigsList for $2500 takes all - for a board member or friend who has some Wagon Love I'll do it for $2000. Wagons are located on Long Island in Northport NY post here if interested or I can be reached at alan(AT SYMBOL)itnnetworks(DOT)com I just want it all to go to a good home - bought a truck and the wagons sadly need to go
Alan, I'm interested. Any rust issues (floor, bottom of B pillar, etc)? Does it have the 3rd seat? Underhood pics? Thanks.
Hi, Interested--love wagons! Current miles on the 95? and is there anything it might need to go thru PA inspection? Rust issues? Any other issues? John :beers2:
Hi Pete a few minor rust spots - pictures below Yes, it has the third seat Thanks for the interest :beer
Hi John - returned your a PM I dont know about PA inspection - it passes a NY inspection no problem. No emisssions issues .... Current miles are 110,8xx. The hood has a minor dent from a tree branch that landed on it this past winter - couldn't even get it to show in a picture. Rust is pictured below - minimal and I dont think there are any rust throughs ... just minimal surface in the drivers' "B" pillar down low and behind the drivers' rear wheel. Other issues that I can think of - Gas gauge is flakey, has been since I bought it. Low Fuel light comes on with about 5 gals left ... I just reset the Trip Meter on fillup and run it to about 230 miles - it then usually takes about 11-12 gallons. The gas tank and gauge in the '94 worked perfect - just never got around to swapping out the parts. Drivers door switches ... some work some dont but all the mechanical features work. The switches for the power mirrors and the driver's window went funky when my wife left the window open before a rain and they've been in-op since. Again, the '94 switches work and I also have a spare switch cluster from a agon I parted. 5x5 Buick Mags have some chrome issues like they all get where the horizontal meets the vertical but they still shine nice and look 1000% better than the stock Buick wagon rims. With a little love she could be a stunner - as is, its a presentable car that you wouldn't be embarassed to drive. Mechanically, I would not hesitate to fill up the tank and head on month long road trip.
more pics ... Gate glass channel - clean top and bottom on both sides Passenger A-frame - clean passenger B- pillar - clean Drivers A-frame - clean Drivers B-pillar - surface rust, not rusted through Driver's rear quarter low - minor rust Engine
Alan, Still interested, but more questions. Does the other wagon have a hitch that could be installed on the gold one to tow the blue one? What happened to the left quarter that its all bent like that?
The '94 does have a hitch but I dont think its going to be easy to remove. The bolts are pretty crusty and I dont know what class hitch it is. As to the lower quarter - my wife isn't too good at backing up:spank: ou: , enough said ? The rights side isn't much better (the paint is good on that side though) but they are both fixable
