I'm just trying to get a handle on how much body work needs to be done. Fenders, rear quarters and trunk have rust issues and should be repaired or replaced? BTW, are those 15" rim on that car and has the car been repainted? You said it runs and drives fine, has it been out recently? Sorry to be a pain. Looks like a damn nice car for a first timer like me!!! BH
Ok, let me answer this in order for you, body work is basically just some patching, i would say the fenders and quarters would not need to be replaced. The trunk has a couple holes in it, will post the picture of them (i have seen much worse). The car has been painted once, and they are 15 inch wheels. The car runs and drives, has not been out on the road in 7 years (it is stored in a private warehouse that has room to be driven around) it would need to be gone over before i put it on the road. Not being a pain at all, ask away with anything you need to know. Thanks
Mike Sorry i didnt get back to you sooner. The core support has one hole in it under the battery, frame is in excellent shape with no rust issues at all on it.

Went up this weekend and took a couple more pictures of the car. This car is so nice underneath, it is a great car to start to restore, or if you wanted to wait, give it a tune-up and drive it everyday if you wanted. I am trying to get them loaded up on here.
FWIW...i bought John's green 70 GS a few weeks ago and looked at this bamboo car...it's a really nice complete original car that someone could start driving (with a little maintenance, etc) and then slowly gussy it up.....it is a real solid clean car and a deal at that price!.....and like most all of these Buick guys, the owner is a stand up person......
