buick5563 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I like the graphics. It looks fast. I'll let others judge the worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thriller Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I have the August Old Cars Report Price Guide.#1 - $20k#2 - $14k#3 - $9kThat is one guide...take it for what it is worth. From that, I'd suggest it would be in the range of 10-15k, possibly more to the right person. I hadn't looked closely at the interior.I too like the graphics, but they are now dated...the right person may want them on, but Joe Schmuck just buying a car may not. In my mind, the graphics shouldn't go with the car unless it is to a BCA member...if not, then the BCA name could be mud...or at least covered in it.I think the graphics evoke the image of a race car...maybe that's why Mike thinks they make the car look fast.So, not being able to insult you...is that a challenge?

I'll go $200 USD, that's a hell of a lot more than $150 Canadian. $150 Canadian buys you like a fun size candy bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICK YOUNG Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Well, I went and did something. The 63 is gone. To a good BCA Member in Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 So, are you going to tell US what it was worth? Hey, turnabout fair play, you asked us, now we're asking you, and as they say, it's worth what someone paid....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK YOUNG Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Oh Oh !:eek:I think that is the same as a "double dog dare".Well.... I traded it for another Lesabre. It doesn't even have the top part of the car.But a acceptable trade for both parties. I'm happier than 2 pigs in a blanket. No wait that doesn't fit here.Anyway, as soon as I can figure out how to downsize the pics or wait for it to quit raining so I can take pics with my lo-tek camera, I'll post them here.

Thriller Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Right on. In spite of the detuning, the 455 still has enough get up and go. While not a convertible, the Electra can chirp the tires easily and I'm told by the driver was quite content at 80-85 on the highway.Now you can get sunburn and windburn on your forehead all at the same time....

dkbuick75 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Rick Congrats on the new aquasition !! looks very nice!! You'll find the car very happy & enjoyable to drive on long road trips on the highway. Extremely comfortable at highway speeds. Just watch yourself--- the horses have a tendency to want to stretch their legs at highway speeds--- you think your sprinting around 70 and look down at the speedo and easily find it around 80+. Have had mine since "New" -- May 1975, and still find it a dream to drive cross country---- 18 straight hours behind the wheel last year from Chicago to Colorado Springs and the same on the return trip--- and a very enjoyable 5-6 hr drive this year to Ames & home, with the top down. Good Luck with yours and enjoy !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wildcat62 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Rick, nice looking vert, but I gotta point out if you are gonna post a picture of a stable like that...you could easily park a lot of Buicks in there. Looks like 30x60...plus tall enough to stack 2 high all along...3 high in some spots... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK YOUNG Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 Even without the 63 or 75, I would still have the Rendezvous (I can't even spell it).But not sure it would count. I asked Barney if the Rendezvous was "Buick Bred", he said" Well, when you're a close 1st cousin to a Pontiac AZTEC does it really matter ":oAny way the truck needs a few things this winter so it'll take a stall.

Guest wildcat465 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Aw heck Rick. The Rendezvous counts as a Buick. It just doesn't need one of the stable stalls. Donna parks the Rainier outside, and she's OK with that.I really identified you with the 63. I can adjust. AND, it doesn't matter what I think, as long as YOU are having fun.
