THE GOOD: GREAT RUNNING QUIET BUICK V8 MOTOR AND 3 SPEED STICK TRANSMISSION, ALL ORIGINAL TO CAR MAKING THIS CAR VERY VERY RARE. NEWER EXHAUST AND BRAKES INCLUDING MASTER CYLINDER. I HAVE NOT CHECKED REAR END YET TO SEE IF IT IS A POSITRAC. GLASS IS ALL GOOD EXCEPT WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED..RECENTLY GAVE THIS OLD GAL A RATTLE CAN PAINT JOB TO MINIMIZE MORE RUSTING. I LOST HER STORAGE SPOT AND WISH TO SELL RATHER THAN ACQUIRE SPACE ELSEWHERE. THE REST: BODY IS ROUGH FROM THE OLD FELLA TRYING TO FIT HER IN HIS GARAGE, HAS SCRAPES ON BOTH REAR QTRS. QTRS ALSO RUSTY AT BOTTOMS BUT DECENT OVER WHEEL OPENINGS. FRONT FENDERS AND DOORS HAVE SOME LOWER RUST AS WELL.DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE WELL, SO SEEMS PRETTY SOLID. FLOORE EACH HAVE ABOUT 1 SQUARE FOOT HOLE FRONT AND BACK FEET AREAS BUT TRUNK LOOKS SOLID EXCEPT FOR RUST IN REAR BODY MOUNTS AND REAR SEAM OF TRUNK. I JUST LOOKED OVER THE FRAME AND IT APPEARS NOT TO HAVE ANY RUST THROUGH. THE STANDARD 3 ON THE TREE COLUMN SHIFT WORKS FLAWLESSLY JUST AS DOES THE SOUND SMOOTHE CLUTCH. I DID A MILEAGE RUN ON HER AND GOT 35 MILES AT HIWAY SPEED ON THE 2 GALLON GAS TANK I AM CURRENTLY USING BECAUSE THE STEEL TANK NEEDS CLEANING AND SEALING. SO IT IS AN ECOMOMY 66 BUICK!! A BLAST TO DRIVE. LASTLY, THE SEATS NEED RECOVERING BUT THE INTERIOR PANELS ON RIGHT SIDE ARE NICE YET. THE DRIVER'S DOOR PANEL AND REAR PANEL ARE DRY ROTTED AT THE TOPS. SHE WOULD BE A CHALLENGE TO TOTALLY REBUILD BUT WOULD BE A GREAT RAT ROD OR SUMMER CRUISER,PLEASE CALL IF ANY QUESTIONS: LARRY 319-231-4331.. I ALSO MAY BE ABLE TO DELIVER A NEW WHITE TOP COMES WITH HER WITH A PLASTIC WINDOW AND I ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL GLASS WINDOW FOR IT.
