I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO BOUGHT IT NEW IN 1973 TO TRAVEL WITH HER AND HER HUSBAND TO MEXICO. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT NOR IS THE BODY DOOR DINGED OR DENTED. THE WOOD GRAIN IS AS IT WAS THE DAY IT WAS PUT ON THE CAR. THE CAR HAS HAD ONE REPAINT AND CAN BE BUFFED OUT BUT IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE REPAINTED. THE CHROME AND POTMETAL ARE NOT PITTED AND IN GREAT CONDITION AS IS ALL THE JEWLERY. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED AND WAS FROM A NICE RUST FREE HEAT FREE CLIMATE, THAT DIDN'T FADE THE INTERIOR OR ROTT ANY OF THE PLASTICS OR FADE THE INTERIOR. THE CAR HAS BEEN SO WELL CARED FOR THAT SHE EVEN EXTENDED THE FACTORY WARRANTY FOR 3 MORE YEARS. I HAVE EVER BOOK AND RECORD OF REPAIR DONE AT HER LOCAL BUICK DEALERSHIP. THE CAR IS REDWOOD WITH REDWOOD INTERIOR WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE OPTION AVAILABLE. IT HAD TO HAVE BEEN A SPECIAL ORDER TO HAVE HAD ALL THE OPTIONS IT DOES. THE INTERIOR IS WITHOUT FLAW, THE CARPET HAS NOT FADDED AND EVERYTHING WORKS INCLUDING THE A/C WHICH IS LIKE A FREEZED. THE BELTS AND DATED AND NUMBERED AS ARE THE ORIGINAL PLUG WIRES, I DID SERVICE THE BRAKES AND PUT ON NOS DELCO ORIGINAL ASBESTOS FACTORY SHOES AND PADS, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD GM ONES STILL ON THE CAR, FOR SAFETY, I BLEED THE SYSTEM AND REPLACED THE PADS AND SHOES WITH NOS ONES. THE CAR HAS AN NOS FACTORY GM EXHAUST WITH AN GM CATALYTIC CONVERTOR THAT WAS USED ON THE 75 MODEL YEAR. THE CAR HAS NO EXHAUST ODOR AT ALL. THE CARB HAS NEVER BEEN REBUILT AND IS LIKE NEW. THIS CAR RUNS SO SMOOTH EVEN WITH THE A/C ON THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL THE CAR IS IDLEING AT ALL. THIS CAR IS REALLY ONE OF THE NICEST ONES IN EXISTANCE. MOST OF THESE WERE BEAT TO HELL OR USED LIKE A WORK HORSE. THIS ONE HASNT EVEN HAD ANYTHING IN THE REAR COMPARTMENT OR A PASSENGER IN THE BACK SEATS. IT EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE. IT HAS TIRES FROM THE EARLY 80'S WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND PUT ON NEW FIRESTONE FR380 TIRES WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR ALL OF 200 MILES IN 3 YEARS. I LOVE IT BUT HEALTH ISSUES ARE FORCING ME TO DOWNSIZE. I HAVE WANTED THIS CAR SINCE I WAS A YOUNG CHILD AND FINALLY WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN IT WHEN THE WOMAN WAS DYING AND I BOUGHT IT PROMISING HER IT WOULD GO TO A VERY GOOD HOME. NOW IT IS TIME FOR ME TO PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE WHO LOVE AND WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS AMAZING CAR OPTIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS: POWER STEERING,POWER BRAKES, POWER WINDOWS,POWER LOCKS, POWER TAIL GATE WITH POWER TAILGATE WINDOW,POWER REAR DEFROSTER, THIRD ROW SEATING, LUGGAGE RACK, TILT/TELESCOPIC COLUMN WITH THE DELUXE STEERING WHEEL,SPEED MINDER, TRIP ODOMETER, LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT, 8-TRACK PLAYER WITH AMPLIFIER, FLOOR MATS, CORNERING LAMPS, LAMP MONITORS, LAMP GROUP,TRASH HOLDER, SUPER DELUXE WHEEL COVERS, FLOOR MATS, LIGHTER VISOR VANITY MIRROR, CRUISE, A/C, DELUXE CLOCK (STILL WORKING PERFECTLY) DRUM TYPE, 60/40 SEATS, POWER SEATS/BOTH SIDES,REMOTE MIRRORS/BOTH SIDE, DAY/NIGHT MIRROR, REAR LOCKING CARGO COMPARTMENT, FACTORY FRONT AND REAR LICENCE PLATE FRAMES. ALL ORIGINAL BOOKS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION AND OTHER THINGS I'M SURE I HAVE FORGOTTEN TO MENTION. I THINK THE ONLY THINGS MISSING IS THE VINYL ROOF (WHICH LOOKS STUPID ON A WAGON) AND THE STAGE ONE OPTION. THIS CAR HAS ITS ORIGINAL POWERBEAM HEADLAMPS, THE WHEEL COVERS HAVE NEVER BEEN CURBED OR BENT, THE WHEEL CENTERS ARE AS THE DAY THEY WERE MADE. THE SUSPENSION IS WITHOUT FLAW. THE CAR RIDES LIKE YOUR ON A CLOUD. YOU COULD ACTUALLY FLY IN AND DRIVE IT TO NY FROM CALIFORNIA WITHOUT A SINGLE PROBLEM. I DID REPLACE THE ORIGINAL SPARK PLUGS WITH NOS ONES AND HAD FULL SYNTHETIC 15K MOBIL 1 OIL PUT IN WITH AN NOS GM FILTER INCLUDING REPLACE THE AIR FILTER WITH AN NOS ONE. THE BATTERY IS NEW AND HAS THE REPRODUCTION COVER AND THE BATTERY CABLES ARE ORIGINAL AND ARE LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN TOUCHED. I DID HAVE THE RADIATOR FLUSHED OUT AND THE CAR DOES NOT BURN OR DRIP ANY OIL. IT'E NOTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN. YOU CANT HERE THE CAR RUNNING AND ITS ACTUALLY SMOOTHER RUNNING AND DRIVING THAN MY 30K MILE 96 ROADMASTER. TRUST ME YOU WILL LOVE THIS CAR WITH A PASSION!!!!! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK!!!!!! FOR PRICING PLEASE REFER TO THE OLD CAR PRICE GUIDE. I WANT A #1 PRICE, A BECAUSE OF SCARCITY, TWO BECAUSE OF COLOR COMBONATION, THREE BECAUSE OF CONDITION AND THREE BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER FIND ANOTHER ONE IN A MILLION YEARS AS LOADED AS THIS ONE IS WITHOUT HAVING TO DO ANYTHING TO IT. MECHANICALLY IT IS A TURN KEY CAR. PLEASE NOTE: I AM OPEN TO OFFERS AND THE CAR IS ALSO LISTED ON OTHER VENUES AND MAY BE SOLD BEFORE THE END OF AUCTION.

ALSO, I CHECKED THE OLD CAR PRICED GUIDE AND IM OFF I WANT MORE THAN THEY SAY ITS WORTH, IM MORE INTO THE 71-72 PRICE RANGE. TO BE HONEST THAT BOOK ISNT RIGHT.
