WOW is the market falling out? This would be a 12 to 13 thousand dollar car. But 9 grand seems like a bargain to me. I thought the front area was a rubber floor mat; not a "rug". I assume it's a fuel gauge sending unit. Though it's a pain but the repair is not difficult. Leave the radio alone. What I'm at getting at is this car is a nice driver with some not too difficult projects to be done down the road. Buy it and drive it!.

Holy mackerel, Batman!  I completely agree.  That looks like a fantastic bargain.  Paint looks very good, tires look good, assuming it runs well as advertised I would think this will sell very fast.

That's a great deal on a cool car that needs very little work. He said $9000 or best offer, which means you might get it for less. Nice.

I will admit that I'm not impartial regarding the color of this car. Great looking car at a very reasonable price. I believe that you can get an aftermarket mat for the front. I would do that and add some sound insulation. After that just drive it.

Nice to see these beautiful cars showing up at consumer prices. Really makes this part of the website enjoyable.

The car is 317 miles away from me. Too bad. I was considering it for a minute. I love the color, by the way.

Yes to all.

We have been wanting to find a close to what we had 1937 Special.

This is the closest to what we have been looking for. I am sure I would pick it apart once I could look it over. After all I had done to our 37 to make it a reliable driver (owned for 35 years) we had been looking for over a year since the Aug. 2021 accident.

 

This car is presently in Winnapeg, Manitoba CAN. as a parts car.

We looked at some overpriced makeshift examples. Rough, brush painted to concourse quality. Ranging in price from $7,500 at the low end to $35,000 at the high end. Unfortunately we finally gave up and started getting all my spare 1937 parts to our other Buick friends with 1937s. It was looking as if we could not begin to recreate the magic we once had with our "LUCY".

Wait - what...?  Did you buy this car?

No. I was just agreeing with the previous posters.
