davenc Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Not a scam. Car is legitimate. Owner is a member of the Roanoke, VA, AACA chapter. (It’s not mine and I have no personal interest in the sale). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Jake Moran Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I didn’t think it was a scam. I saved 3-4 pre war Buicks in the past 1-2 years and all took a long time to sell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I don’t mind they changed it to a down draft carb for reliability but that modern air cleaner would need to go. Problem is, what would a person use to look within 10-15 years correct? I would like the car but am buried in snow and can’t imagine buying such a car, or any car, in January.

Rod Frazier Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Beautiful car. If shipping wasn't so expensive I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
