Vehicle Detail

Introduced in the middle of the “compact” era this upscale small Buick was powered by a unique and snappy aluminum V-8 with automatic transmission, that produced 190 horsepower. With a Rochester 4 barrel it was capable of 0-60 in 9 seconds. Only 8913 were built and according to DMV records there are only 128 convertibles registered on the road. Making this a "EXTREMELY RARE CAR". The car is Regal Red with solid GM white interior. The car was repainted at least once in its life and retains a good shine but is not without flaws. it is a nicely maintained driver and is a matching numbers car. It runs great and is fully capable and dependable for touring, club outings and general fun in daily use. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. I believe the odometer to be 78,670, It was owned and garaged by a Elderly Man that really took care of the Car Some points on the car’s condition, in no special order are as follows:Mechanical – Matching numbers motor runs great with high and consistent compression readings. Work done on car includes:New exhaust system and mufflerNew brakes all around and drums as neededFour newer tires, NOS) Rochester 4CG 4 barrel carburetor All Belts and Hoses ReplacedRadiator Cleaned and pressure testedDash gauges all workFront end is tight and tracks straightMotor mount replacedOil pan gasket replaced.

It is an honest representation of convertible compact era. When my wife first saw it she said, “Wow, what a sweet little car! Please don’t bid unless you are a serious and qualified buyer.
