John_S_in_Penna Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Looks interesting! A Buick fan will get lots of double-looksat a Buick show with a minimal expenditure.Since Craigs' List ads have a maddening way of expiring whilepeople are still looking, I'll reprint the contact information in this forum:Seller--M & M Auto Sales, phone (406) 370-5466.

Guest BJM Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Cool video. You know what would be fun? If the BCA would buy this and use it only for each National Meet as an airport and hotel / courtesy transport for those members coming to the National meet that can't come in their Buicks.

Guest BJM Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I would take the Mermaid off the front though. It's got a 403 Olds motor, a good one. The guy will never sell it for $2800, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I love that website. That place is a modern version of my grandfather's used car lot and tire shop where I started working when I was 11. We sold a lot of rough trucks from the phone company and tons of wholesale trades from two local Chevy dealers. In 1967 I left for the Navy. We were still selling a lot of 55-60 Chevies. I think I remember at least one that was over $300.I worked for $1 an hour + 10% of the used tire sales. At around 13 I started selling the cars and 10% was a big dent in the profit on those $100 and $200 cars, my cut was dropped to 5% on cars real quick.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 You can thank the popularity of Linda Vaugh for the hearst (Hurst) thing. I remember it coming into redneck vocabulary. Not that I am not a redneck, I'm just one who reads and thinks about the words.Hearst is right up there with Hemi Motor News, you know, that old car advertisement magazine.Don't remember Linda Vaugh? Now you won't forget.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BJM Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Or, vehicle needs restore. It's restoration or "it needs restoring." I have seen perfectly good ads ruined by 'it needs restore'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BJM Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Oh and Linda's good people. Have met Ms. Hurst on several occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 75RivGS Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Video made me wonder why GM in those years changed to metric when naming an engine; here in the video 6.6 litre. Those cars didn't sell much outside the USA (Canada maybe), so I don't see the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
