Roadmaster75 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) With great regret, illness dictates that I must sell my old friend of 28 years. I've been a BCA member since Spring of 1973. #2954. My preference is to sell this lovely car to a BCA member that will appreciate its originality and become the steward for it for the next 20-30 years! Not advertising it anywhere else at this time. I acquired the car from the original owning family in 1989. It had sat in their garage under a cover for 17 years. It had 31,800 on it when I picked it up. The car is dead original and totally rust free. It has one of the original tires for a spare in the trunk (8.00x15) I have not touched it up anywhere; including under the hood. The car is "Silver Mist" in color with matching silver gray interior. Paint is getting thin in spots on the front fenders. The engine compartment is NOT detailed. The car runs beautifully with its Flight Pitch Dynaflow. The dash is perfect including the pads. It still has the customer instruction sticker on the clock! I didn't want to remove it during all these years. I have most of the dealer delivery papers/tags that were on the car when new. The power windows all work fine, the power seat works fine, the speedo operates perfectly as does the "Speedminder" accessory. The radio works fine. I have many new and excellent used parts for the car that I have collected over the years; incl. NOS headlight sw., NOS hood eyebrow molding, NOS windshield wiper control assembly, rebuilt master/power booster, one rebuilt Rochester 4GC and another awaiting a rebuild. The car has a Buick AFB on it, incl. the correct accelerator start switch. I also have an entire differential with torque tube. Two near perfect aluminum 58 front brake drums go with it. Lots of other little goodies go with the sale. I recently put new rear springs on it from Detroit Eaton. These put the car at its correct ride height. I am asking $22,500 / with all the parts acquired. I can send more pics upon request. Just ask. Contact me thru the forum here or at 630-567-2507. Thanks for looking!

Roadmaster75 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hi John Sorry I should have put that in the posting.... I'm about 65 miles west of Chicago in a small rural town. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hi John, -- beautiful car! Wishing you health - Does this car have Air Conditioning? What is the mileage? Do you have photos of the engine compartment? Interior photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadmaster75 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 HI Marty I'll try to post pics of the interior and engine tomorrow. It has 40,000 miles. It does not have factory air. Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadmaster75 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 For those asking..... Here's some shots of the interior and engine. The original glass fuel bowl is off for now. The driver's armrest and rear driver's side armrest will need to be repaired/re-stuffed; otherwise the door panels are nice. The headliner is not tattered & torn but is stained. Somebody said to spray with Oxi-Solve, but I'm too chicken! It has the full set of "BUICK" logo floor mats. Steering wheel plastic is perfect. Thanks, Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadmaster75 Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thanks for all the good wishes, guys. After 43 years in the BCA I can say it's given me a lot beyond the cost of dues over time.......! mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick man Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Ultra-Nice and the non existent rarer than rare factory Buick floor mats are a real super bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadmaster75 Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Forgot to mention that I have spare starter, generator, water pump for peace of mind on those long road trips! (Never had to use them!) Also, have two spare tail lamp housings and 2 repairable rear bumper ends. The ones on the car are somewhat pitted, but solid with no rust out.
