96 RMW 144k Up for bid is a 1996 Buick Roadmaster Limited Estate Wagon with 144k two owner miles. Collectors Edition like every other 96 Roadmaster. Originally a northern car so has some rust underneath as seen in pics and left lower quarterpanel has had rust repaired. Loaded up with power everything. Boasting GMs Corvette inspired multiport injected 5.7L LT1 V8 engine and 4L60E 4 speed automatic transmission, she puts down plenty of power. Tow package 2.93 limited slip rear end (GW9 & G80 build codes). Trailer preparation "tow package" means the factory rated the car to pull 5000 lbs but has no hitch (despite trailer prep name, these did not come from the factory with hitches so all hitches are aftermarket.)

Underhood sheet metal/wheelhouses were patched. I will include a pair of nice southern wheelhouses with car for you to install. Tailgate sill and door jambs have some rust as seen in pics. Small crack in right taillight housing. Hood ornament was broken off, so I installed one from a 95 (in case you notice its the wrong one for the year.) Aluminum wheels are in good shape with a few spots of clearcoat peeling. INTERIOR: Interior of the car is in very nice shape. Dash has no cracks and is still shiny. Leather seating areas are in great shape, leather is still soft. Carpet in seating area is very nice, cargo deck carpet in good shape. Headliner is nice - not sagging.
