I agree it's aftermarket, I've never seen that rotating ring feature before.

I love it, price seems reasonable.

Very pretty car, probably more rare than the Starfires. If the price is really $11,000 that will move quickly. Just don't drive it anywhere with those terrible tires!

That is weird theft damage, the thief must have been shopping for the pieces he needed to finish his own Wildcat project!

I still need this part!!!

The 68 I restored back in the 80s was originally similar to this color and had this houndstooth cloth interior. I'm sure the paint is new and the missing trim makes me suspicious of how much rust repair was done.

I agree, here is a Moon shell:

Wow, thanks guys, I appreciate it.

I have no first hand experience but you have to remove the wheel centering pin and attaching bolt in back. The front aluminum drums are worse, the rivets have to go as well. I'll let someone who has done it chime in now.

I've had a few under $100 but the best was a 1966 Mustang coupe for $30 cash. 6 cylinder automatic, barely running. I rebuilt the carb, tuned it, put a muffler on, did a little body work and flipped it for a surprising profit.

I need help with these three Ford script plus one block letter emblems, trying to identify year, model and original location / use. Any help would be appreciated, TIA

I love it!

Thanks. I saw the Monroe listing but not the AC Delco. Only rear shocks, no fronts listed. Ben Bruce, why are you laughing?

Those seats are beautiful, great work!

If your purpose is to mount custom or later model wheels it is not as simple as that.

No response? I could use a little help here. Shopped around for shocks and it appears the '60 Buick is not popular with most vendors. No listings at KYB, Rock Auto, Amazon, etc. Only rears shown on Ebay, Monroe, and Rare Parts, but out of stock. The only place that has full listings is CARS / Old Buick Parts. Has anyone here bought shocks for a B60 from them?

The leak has been fixed. Why would I want to replace the springs?

Back after 2 1/2 months. I got my Tolltag and have driven the car numerous times on the highway. There is a slight imbalance in the tires at 70 mph, probably due to all the weights on the back, but it is not really a problem. I have made no other progress on my to-do list but have tried to drive the car once a week if I can. I have noticed that the new tires have not improved the ride, specifically on sharp bumps. This car came with "Cure Ride" shock absorbers front and back, a name from the past and I have no idea how old they are. Compared with all the problems I had on my 66 Monaco initially this car rode great with no floating, bottoming out or cornering issues, but it always took sharp bumps pretty hard. I put some of that down to the 12 year old tires but it seemed to get worse. The new tires did not help, the sharp bump reaction is downright harsh and it is getting worse. I am thinking I need new shocks. I do not want a heavy duty "performance" or "handling" ride but rather a very smooth factory style feel befitting the slow cruiser this car is. I would welcome any recommendations and would especially value anyone's first hand experience with shocks on their 1960 Buick, TIA

Crazy expensive for a 390 automatic IMO.

Beautiful!

Back in early 2000s I bought a very cheap ex-Texas DPS 1995 9C-1 Chevy Caprice unmarked cruiser with 113,000 miles just out of service. DPS had painted it a weird "leftover paint" light brown metallic and the interior was filthy but it ran like a scalded cat. I cleaned it up and put another 50,000 fun miles on it with very little maintenance needed other than usual wear. Turned out that GM put the same police drivetrain in just about every full size car they built from 1994 to 1996 so I wound up owning a Chevy Impala SS, Buick Roadmaster wagon, and Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham before I moved on. Today these are still great cars but the 20 years passing mean a pretty fair list of common ills would have to be addressed for them to be as reliable as they were back then.

Great interior, dual a/c, hardtop wagon, wow. If it runs and drives it may be a diamond in the rough.

Looks decent for the price but I hate that color. Houndstooth cloth seats were stock, a shame he didn't spend another $20 and do the front seat right.

"Coupe Limousine". Has to be one of one...
