Boy, that ad just makes me want to break out the check book....

 

I live in Prescott. If someone wants me to check out the car for them, let me know !

 

Brucer-sent you PM

 

Bruce- if you do look at it- and TNTlark passes, PLEASE post pics and your assessment of the car. TY!

 

George,
have you seen the one in Eugene Oregon. it's not red but seems to be in good shape, The owner is a bit "fun" to deal with though

 

Joe and George,
I will contact the owner and see if I can view the GS this weekend.

Bruce

 

Joe, sent you a PM.

 

Thanks Bruce... Going to pass on it..

 

Bob, I did see it... Too much$$$.. Plus, I don't want to deal with a whack job.

 

I am wondering if this is a real California GS. Was built in Wilmington ,DE. No A.I.R. pump or indication that there was one installed( no plugs in exhaust manifolds). My 67 California GS was built at the Fremont plant and had a A.I.R. pump.

 

Bruce- the California's could be built at any plant.. As it was a standard Buick vehicle that they just added GS parts to.

 

Bruce- how was the car???

 

George,

Went to the guy's business to look at the 68. Car spent many years in Rhode Island but wasn't driven much. Just under 73,000 miles, pedals and carpeting indicate this is probably true mileage. Car was repainted the original color red. All panels are original - good news. Bad news- bondo in right front fender and some in the rears. Magnet sticks. average paint job with some minor scratches. Vinyl top is in very good condition. Package tray is trashed as is the driver door armrest. Driver door panel has a small hole in it. Rest of interior has average wear, still looks good. Underside has surface rust(best I could see). Trunk is solid. Engine did not smoke but there is a little lifter/pushrod ticking upon start up. Rear bumper needs to be rechromed, front is good. Car seems original and overall in good driver condition. I rate this a #3 car.

Hope this helps!

 

Have you ever seen the 62 in my avatar at any local shows?

 

I have not !

 

I'm surprised. Dad's in Dewey and takes it out once in a while to local shows.

 

HA!!! Yes, I actually know the car!! I believe it came from East Providence or somewhere close!! The guy (at that time- year, maybe 2 ago) was trying to get between $7500-$10K. The 3 blurry photo's are from when it was in RI.. Can't believe it made its way all the way out to AZ!!!

 

Now the owner is asking $11,500

 

I knew that was not an AZ car from looking at the under carriage. Living in Maine, I know all too well what that orange color means.
