Matt Harwood Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) *SOLD* Look, this isn't an amazing car. But it's a very good car and I have to admit that every time I look at it in the showroom, I say to myself, "That's really a nice car." It has lived its entire life in Florida, so it's not rusty or wrecked, and it shows just 67,193 original miles. It was repainted in its original Glacier Blue about 10 years ago and it still looks great--nice shine, good bodywork underneath, and the bold color is rather appealing with the white leather interior. It's a 350 car, so it runs well and isn't a gas hog, and I doubt you'll notice the difference in performance over the 455 unless you drive around with your foot on the floor. The interior is all original and in very good shape and everything works: cold A/C, windows power up and down, doors lock, gauges all working. The only thing that isn't working is the original radio, but that's because there's an AM/FM/CD stereo head unit hidden in the glove box. Nice. The white power top goes up and down easily and has a glass rear window, although it does have a split seam in the usual spot just behind the left rear window. Not serious, but they all eventually split that seam. The weather seals on the windshield A-pillar are a bit shredded but we ordered new ones and will install them once they're off backorder, and the heater core is bypassed, which, in combination with the brand new one in the trunk, makes me assume it's buggered. I'll also assume that you guys are experienced and savvy enough to understand the difference between rust and rot--the undercarriage has surface rust in some areas but no rot or holes in the floors, mostly thanks to a life in Florida. Runs and drives great, there's a newer exhaust system, and the Buick Road Wheels always look great. Like I said, not perfect, not totally amazing, but with a little TLC, it could be and even as a driver, it needs no excuses. A lot of top-down luxury cruiser for only $16,900. Thanks for reading!

Auburncoupe Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I am on the other side of the spectrum in that I spend my professional day around our vintage parts cars. Week in and week out. I see unfinished tin every day. This is a very very nice car. Solid description. Looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
