I drove my Mom crazy!!!! Does that count?

Was the running gear with your car? If so are you wanting to sell the rear end assembly? Thanks

We drive our 17 Buick almost weekly to and from the local grocery store. On most trips I worry not that someone is going to collide with us but I believe the car following us is at greater risk as the on coming drivers almost break their neck looking at us as we go by. As for letting others enjoy our hobby on one saturday this summer on our way to the grocery store we noticed a sign on a corner indicating that one of our neibors was having a 50 year anniversary celebration so we drove by to see if the couple wanted to go for a drive to the county park about 1 mile away. We were suprised that the older gentleman had been confined to a nursing home and the wife was unable to leave her home because of health reasons. Non the less everyone at the party was allowed to sit in the car and take pictures and act like it was their car. In a hundred years someone in that family will beleive that their relatives had this car for their own. After about 45 minutes of picture taking the elderly wife came out of the house and said she wanted to have her picture taken in the car also. It was the first time in 4 months that she had been out of the house except to visit the doctor, said her relatives. After about another 30 minutes and more pictures and the relative all thanking us for just stopping by we left to finish our trip to the store. THIS IS WHY WE DRIVE OUR CAR AND ALLOW OTHERS TO SIT IN IT OR ACT LIKE IT IS THEIR OWN CAR. Why else would you want to have a car? We often stop at the older generation homes in the area and offer a ride to the ice cream parlor. Also twice a year I take the car to the local High School for the auto shop students to have a look. THe high school students brag about having 20" wheels and low profile tires like they are something new until I point out that this particular car is running on 25" wheels.

not looking for an exact price just looking for a general idea so that I have s fair idea of the value Thanks Matt

The things that I know that are missing are the interior trim for the drivers side rear window and the window handle and trim for same. Also I have the ignition key switch and coil but the key tumbler ( the guts ) are broken, they were froze up and I took it to a locksmith and when he disassembled it it was broken. I have the front bumper and the headlight glass lense. will need to replace the flat glass at passenger side rear window as most of it is missing or in pieces. All of the seat cusion frames and springs are present as are all of the guages with exception to the cigar lighter. Drivers side door handles are packard but not correct to year and car.

here are some pics

AM NEW TO FORUM AND DONT KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD PICS TO SITE. MOTOR TURNS OVER. IGNITION SWITCH IS BROKEN. THERE IS SOME RUST OUT AT REAR OF CAR ON DRIVER SIDE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DOLLAR BILL. 1 REAR WINDOW MISSING AND INTERIOR TRIM FOR SAME WINDOW IS MISSING ALSO. SIDE MOUNT BUCKETS ARE RUSTED THROUGH SOMEWHAT BUT I THINK THEY ARE REPAIRABLE. INTERIOR SEATS HAVE THE FRAMES BUT I REMOVED THE FABRIC AND MATERIAL BECAUSE OF THE RATS THAT MADE THEM THEIR HOME. EVERYONE SEEMS TO SAY THAT THEIR CAR IS 99% COMPLETE BUT YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT THE PIECES THAT ARE USUALLY MISSING ARE EITHER THE UN FINDABLE OR THE MOST EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE.THIS CAR WAS PARKED FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON. THEREFORE I WOULD GUESS THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF PROBLEM WITH IT. WHAT THAT PROBLEM IS I DONT KNOW. PEOPLE DONT JUST PARK CARS BECAUSE THEY DONT NEED THEM ANYMORE.
