RARE Adriatic Blue color without the woodgrain panels!! The 1996 model year marks the last year of production for the Roadmaster Wagon, hence it being a Collector Edition. This rare Adriatic blue wagon with leather interior has less than 40,000 miles on it! This vehicle has a unique history, as its first owner was the Actor Anthony Quinn. He purchased the car in New York and we have the original window sticker, title and personal notes which will be included in the sale. While it was never purchased as a show car, overall this car is in very good condition. The car has been very well cared for over the years, and has spent most of the last few years in storage, but has been driven frequently enough to keep it in top running order. These Buick wagons have great cargo space and a very comfortable ride. At just over 39k miles it still drives and rides beautifully with the soft ride well known in Buick's of this era. The car starts and drives very well, no issues with the engine, transmission or drivetrain. Great car all around and certainly one of a kind! An up to date CARFAX report is included in this listing in the interest of full disclosure. Unfortunately, in Oct, 2010 the car was in a minor accident, where the front grill/hood/right headlight assembly met up with the rear bumper of a Jeep. You will see the CARFAX listed the car as a Total Loss, because initially the insurance company treated it that way, due to the age of the car. I obtained an estimate for the repairs and purchased most of the parts new myself, and after a strong appeal to the insurance company they re-assessed the car and agreed to pay the full labor costs for the repairs. All the work (about $4,500.00 with parts and labor) was done by a local shop that I know very well. They had done the detailing when I purchased the car and recognized it was worth the investment. They took care to do all the painting (even the under-hood painting) that perfectly matched the original color, texture and metallic content. You will see from the pictures, with the exception of a few minor imperfections that have been noted, this car looks like it just came out of the showroom. Cars with double this mileage have listed on Ebay for around $12,500!! We understand that the minor accident impacts the value regardless of the fact that there was no lasting damage and the repairs are flawless! For that reason our reserve price is significantly lower!!

(The system won't let me make those updates on the original listing) *To clarify - we have a CARFAX report that will be included in the sale along with all the original paperwork mentioned. The minor incident is mentioned in the CARFAX report but not on Ebay's Autocheck report. We want to be completely transparent with this sale so that you can bid confidently! On Oct-01-13 at 21:53:18 PDT, seller added the following information: **************************** To answer a few questions that have come in: Does the Roadmaster have Gran Touring Suspension? Yes it does! Has the car been garage kept? Yes - for the entire life of the car it has been stored inside - this is why the paint is in such great shape. What is the brand name, model name, and quantity of the $700 set of tires? · Purchased from and installed by NTB in January, 2010; Mileage was 26,736· Tires are four (4) Sigma Shadow, P225/75R15 - mfd. in the US - 40,000 mile warranty – the best tires I could purchase at the time to fit this car, that also have white sidewalls.· The total of the $700.00 was actually a bit more than just the tires. The charges covered the tires, installation, tire warranty (sorry, it cannot be passed to the new owner), old tire disposal fee, wheel alignment, replacement of the Left Front tie rod end, new valve stems, lifetime tire rotation. So, it covered more than just the tires, but all the work done at that time related to the replacement of the tires. · They are still in great shapeOn Oct-03-13 at 13:40:49 PDT, seller added the following information: Clarification of the Title: The title is CLEAR! After the minor accident, we kept the car in our possession the whole time covering the repair costs with a combination of insurance money and our own funds. Therefore, it never went to a salvage yard from which anyone reclaimed it. The title is clear and in our possession all ready to be signed over to the new owner!
