  1. Well, I did a WHOIS search to see who owns the website I mentioned above because it seemed to me something is not right.  Why have a website with old ads?  Turns out the website is registered in Russia, see:

    Purpose of the website I think is not to scam buyers out of money (at least not directly) but rather to get buyers personal info (name, email address, telephone number), which they ask for when you send a message from their website to the "seller" about the car.

    Thanks for your message.  The model 60 manifold should look like this (see below).  The one you have seems to be a 50 series that has a bolt hole in the middle; there no middle bolt hole in the model 60 manifold.  From your photo it also looks about an inch too small.  Distance between centers of the first and last hole should be 28 35/64 inch or 72.5 cm.

    This car is listed on a website for sale but when I contact the seller (via the button on the website) I receive no replies.  I left my cell number and email address.  I wonder if this ad is a scam or a teenager has listed his grandfather's car to see what interest there is.  And in the ad there's mention of this car having a drag race with a Corvette...  Anyone know this car and the owner?

    You might contact Ms Sandy Jones in Ft Collins Colorado.

    Sandy passed away a while ago and left his wife with 2 either '32 or '33 series 90 Buicks.

    One was listed on evilbay but did not sell.

    Sandy's handle on the forums was OCM (outlaw car man) and there still may be some posted pictures of his cars.

    I have visited them and both are beautiful cars.

    Thanks for your message.  I searched the forum.  Sandy owned two 1933 model 90 4-door.  Photos show they're really nice cars but unfortunately not the year I'm seeking.

    Just for information........down in South America they have been buying up big series Buick cars, tossing the bodies, and building vintage race cars with modern coachwork. There is an entire class for the Buick Specials in the racing world down there. They have bought about two dozen over the last five years that I know of........than cut them up. I had a big chassis I pulled out of a junk yard years ago, and somehow they found out about it. I sold it to them. For them to have found me, they must have been looking very hard. Ed

     

    Vintage race cars with modern coachwork?  Bizarre.  They could use a Ford Model A chassis which are available locally.  With most of South America in economic meltdown including the big boys Argentina and Brazil, I cannot imagine too many folks there have the money needed for this type of thing.

    Constantine, what are your plans for the car?

    Are you going to modify it, or keep it authentic?

     

    Hi, I'm helping a friend track down one of these.  He already owns a 1932 Buick model 67 (see photos).  He's interested in adding the top of the line Buick 4 door for that year to his collection.  He's not into hot-rods.  These cars are just too nice and rare for that.

    You might check with Mack Blair of Indiana, PA.  He is and long has been a 32 Buick enthusiast with big time interest in that year.

     

    Does anyone have Mack's current email address and telephone number?  buick32@adelphia.net doesn't work.  724-463-3372 does ring but then asks for access code.

    I have one. A 32 90 Victoria coupe. The car is still buried in long term storage since the 1950s but I would like to get it out and maybe put the car up for sale by next spring or summer. Are you looking to buy one or just general information on the 90 series?

    Thanks for your reply.  A Victoria is a lovely body but I'm only after a 4 door car (a series 90, 91 or 97).

  9. Thanks for your messages.

    The vehicle that I will be shipping is in Michigan. Which means I am looking to put the car and a spare engine I into a container in Michigan then by rail to the coast (I've found and visited a shipping company near Detroit that does that), OR renting a U-HAUL trailer and personally delivering the car to an east coast port (probably New Jersey or New York). Ideally, I'm hoping to find someone to share a 40' container 50/50...if that doesn't happen I'll ship my car alone in a 20'. If I use a 20' there should be room for a someone's longblock as the car I'm shipping is only about 12' long.

    Thanks.
