I'm in love...it's not badly priced all things considered. I'd give both of my convertibles away to have this car.
IF someone is SERIOUSLY interested in the car, and you can establish that it is in Montana (it's a Wisconsin area code), I could go check it out for someone. It being in the Eastern part of the state and me on the Western, that's about 550-750 miles one way depending on if it's North or South.
It's about the same distance south for me...and an inconvenient border, which more or less puts me in the same category as coming from the moon. This is a real "if only" car; and it starts with "if only I had the space" and just gets worse from there.
OK V-8 Buick People: Big price, outta state phone number and a laundry list of discrepancies for 34 Grand. Watch-it! I think flip's gettin' slick. Mitch
Droooooool!!!!! BUCKETS, A/C, power goodies Drool, mostly original As far as the phone number being out of state, I live in Florida and have a Pittsburgh number for my cell phone which I don’t plan on ever changing, I’ve had the number 27 years. With cell phones nowadays you can’t go by the phone being from a different state. If the car checks out the price is not unrealistic as a starting point.
I've driven 2000 miles one way for the right car. If it's what you want, distance isn't a concern. Grand scheme of things, what the he!! does a 3 day drive matter for a lifetime of the car you want? I'm tired of reading "oh I'd do it, but its too far away", or the border crossing excuses from both sides. If it's what you want, big flipping whoop. Do it. Buy it. Get it done. It's not that big of a deal other than a convenient excuse why not to do it. It could be the perfect car 10 miles away from some guys, and they'd still pull the "too far" card out. My brothers both live in Alaska. One gets cars from down here regularly, the other has flown to Florida to check out the right car, and bought and shipped it. No excuses. You want it. Do it.
Heck, I'm willing to do a full days drive to and back just to check it out for someone for gas money only. It's a cool classic car, and road trips are fun.....why don't I want it? I don't have enough money for it. And I admit it.
I didn't mention the most important "if only", and that is I'd buy it now "if only" I had the money. In our dollarettes that's CDN $ 45,400.00 or thereabouts; basically a brand new Buick. I'd have to get rid of both of my 'verts to even come close to that, - not worth the trouble, and it'll be long gone before mine are sold. So...if only this car would still be around a year from now...
There we go. I agree. Money from selling my other cars and the time that'd take and maybe the car will be gone by then. That's my excuse. Not distance though. Not a car being in the country we're friendliest with and takes a day or two of paperwork and a month of time. Those are poor excuses. Money. Period.....if you don't have the money for it, compliment the car like the rest of us without a lame excuse about how you'd be a buyer except for how far away it is, and go onto the next ad.
I think it's a scam. Greg Cockerill confirmed that this car sold for double the asking price just last year, and these photos are the exact ones from the last sale ad.
Could be a scam unless the owner discovered what it wasn't. IMO that car has been restored to some degree .Way to clean to be all original unless it spent it's life in the showroom. Once seen a 57 Ford convertible that way.
