Well I'm looking to sell what's left of my 1963 Buick Special. I bought it at a local consignment auction in the summer of 2011 for what I thought was an amazing deal, $2,000. It was in really good drivable condition and, since I have never owned a vehicle purely for fun, I was thrilled to be able to tool around in it as it was. It suited me right down to the ground. It had this goofy flat black after market paint job with red wheels and details that I felt fit me and my personality perfectly. It brought me and the people I ran into when I was out and about driving it an awful lot of joy. In June of 2012 I was stopped with my directional on to turn left, and some kid rear ended me at about 70 mph. This brought my tooling around to a sudden stop. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, but my car was totalled. I'd like to keep it on the road in some form or another, but the damage is too extensive to make it practical to try to restore it. Besides which, I don't have the time or money to take on a project of that size. The question is, how much is my Buick worth as it sits and what is the best way for me to sell it and know that it will go to someone who is going to put another vintage Buick back on the road. I live in a small town in West Michigan 30 miles north of Grand Rapids. Any input or information that you guys can offer me would be a huge help and very much appreciated. Pics follow. ~Dave
