  1. Former forum member Keith Bleakney's 4 decade owned 67 Buick featured in Hemmings again.  Last year in September it was featured in Hemmings Classic Car magazine and I just found out it was featured again in the main publication October 2018 issue of Hemmings Motor News.   Keith's car was a long seen staple at Buick event's with Senior Gold award and several other BCA Best of Show awards.  His first BCA event with it was the Nationals in Bethlehem PA in 1982.

  2. Of the 37,974 Model 8437 Electra 225 Custom & Limited 2 door hardtops, only 11,836 (30%) were built as Limiteds. I have personally inspected the car and while it does need some things as the seller indicates, this is a lot of car for the money. It's an uncommon model in a rare color as well and how many of these do you see around?

  3. Probably $15K max.  It appears to be decently optioned but does not appear to be a loaded car.  The black vinyl interior will not be to everyones liking especially hot weather climate buyers.  It will more than likely go overseas.  I have seen much lower mileage Electra's of the 71 -76 vintage with considerably less miles and in condition to pull right on a show field bought for less than $15K.  It is a beautiful car beyond doubt. 

  4. No 67 50th Annv. thread would be complete without my friend Keith Bleakney's 67 Special Deluxe - it has a several page / 22 picture spread in Septembers Hemming"s Classic Car magazine.  Keith's 67 was also the first 67 to receive a BCA Senior Gold way back in 1992. He has owned the car 38 years.
