Vehicle Detail
I bought this car from the estate of who i believe was the orig owner. Car had been sitting since mid 90's in a sheet metal building. I was told it had been painted its orig Verde green in the mid 90's. The block has the LX stamp as shown in the picture. I am not sure if motor has ever been rebuilt. Orig sold in Florida and owner then moved to NC. Things I have done since i purchased the car Rebuilt brakes, rebuilt carbs, new alt, a good cleaning. The car does run and drive. Engine seems very strong but will need tuning. The biggest problem with car is it does have electrical issues that need attention. Some of the windows dont work, power seat doesnt work. Air cond and heater need attention. I am a Ford guy and have always loved these Gran Sports. They are a timeless classic. Bill Mitchel was the designer and he is an icon in the GM world.. I KNOW these cars are rare and are being sought for by collectors. The values just keep going up.and up..This car is all there and a great solid foundation for a concours resto..The only rust i see is on drivers side between the rocker and the lip underneath. Please email me with any questions you may have and any pics you may want..Again i am far from an expert on these buicks but i have alot of experience with collector cars. I collect Mustangs and Shelby's but enjoy all collector cars.. Remember this is a 50 year old car so No warranty comes with car..expressed or implied.. Please serious inquires only.No picture collectors.. Thank you and good luck..
