Meh....not really a fan of the older pre-war cars. I would be happy to take a look at it if someone was interested, though.

Just a stone's throw from me.

I have no issues here. Have you all tried different computers or devices? I know some have, but asking a blanket question. I have found that this type of issue is typically a software/local problem.

Seller is good people. Looks like a nice car, too.

Awesome!
We were in Miami 2 years ago, and were stunned by all of the old Art Deco buildings along that strip. So cool. Even better ay night when they were all lit up.

Great car, but I'm a cheapskate. 😆

It's been hit-and-miss with me on starters. Some need them more than others. If a shield solves the problem, I doubt it's masking another. If that was the case, it would still have slow starting issues.

Get a heat shield on the starter and report back.

Starter could be getting hot...it's common for them to crank slowly when overheated (due to heat sink from exhaust parts close by).
Too much advance could cause it, too..
Gotta make sure everything is in good working order - battery, cables, connections. Your charging system seems ok. What does voltage read after you run it after a few minutes (with the car NOT running)?

Great 60!!

Is it a rope seal or neoprene? Some nailheads don't like the updated seals.

I'll be there...no idea what I'm bringing. If I can hold onto the 71 LeSabre long enough, I'll probably take that. Otherwise, depending on if I want to mess with hauling the 58, I might just bring the daily.

The FB scammers have gotten pretty smart since I made that video, but they're still easy to spot. Most of them post stolen pictures of cars they are "parting out" and turn off comments on the post.

I've never seen a washer fluid refill bottle in a 60.

I've used whatever Dex equivalent ATF in my power steering pumps for years with no issues.

Nearly ready for its trip back home after a loooooong slumber here. No one’s fault…just had some interesting hiccups along the way. All I’m waiting for is my exhaust guy to install the NOS mufflers and resonators. Hoping to head back home to Lance on Monday next week.

Keep in mind that it's been over 50 years....many people have touched them.

FYI I've had several Buicks of this vintage that had only one key for doors, ignition, and trunk. Many others had two, but it's not unheard-of to have a single key for both.

The Buick Club of America would like to formally invite the Opel world to join us at our next national meet! We are creating a specific 400 point class for Opels 12 years and older (just like we do for the Buicks), and if there is sufficient interest, we can split into more. There is currently class for unrestored cars 25 years and older. We also have modified judging for those who have made their car unique to their liking!
That said, we would be very interested to gather one or more qualified people who are knowledgeable about these cars to help judge the 400 point class. As assistant head judge in the BCA, we work very hard to make sure the cars are judged effectively and correctly. That means finding qualified judges. We are also open to bringing in new judges who would like to get their feet wet in the program was well!
If you would like to display or have your car judged, there is a requirement to be a BCA member in good standing.
Here is a link to the BCA website to join:
You can find a link to the 2024 national meet in the website as well, but here is a direct link: 2024 National Meet
On that website, you will find all the information you need regarding that event. Hotels, how to register, events and tours, etc.
We are very excited to welcome any Opel owners and enthusiasts to the club! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and I will make sure it's handled quickly. Feel free to spread the word that our door is open. We would love nothing more than to see this venture as a success!-

1960 Buick gas tank leak-where?
in Buick - Post War

A radiator shop can fix this if there is one close by. They will leak test it, too.
