    Looks good except for the misaligned side chrome. Seems to be a thing with these years!

    66electrafied Just tossing in my nickel's worth

    Is that a siren under the hood?
    The car doesn't look too bad; good driver quality and priced accordingly. The only thing I don't like is the paint job on the motor which would indicate that it's been either rebuilt or just mildly overhauled at one point and then detailed by some "artiste". The wiper motor and pump is somewhat lacking as well. Little details like that give one a cause for concern, so if anyone is interested in this car, - check those things out...test drive it, then put it in the air and go through it in detail.

    Bubbles between door and rearwheel. Likely more of it. The is not original Buick red is it? Somehow the sleek lines of a 65 don’t go too well with this particular red tone. judging from miles away. I’d be careful

    You're dead right about the red. Way to vibrant for a luxocruiser. He mentioned it had rust on one quarter. The painted engine is hard to look at. Would have to deal with that quickly.

    The “original” wheel covers that come with the car are not the correct ones

    Poor patch job on the drivers door trim and front fender matching piece. The fender skirts on both sides is cattywampus as well. Poor engine presentation too. The siren is for the crooked alarm switch on the DS fender. ws
