    Not sure about the inside options, but on the outside, some options I see are vinyl top, bumper gaurds, side moldings, cornering lights, and passenger side mirror. Its also the top of the line Limited model with the nicest interior available back then. I dont see the "Limited" scripts on the c-pillars, but perhaps they were removed.

    I am also wondering if there are any rust bubbles under the vinyl top yet. This is a very recent issue that popped up on my Grand Ville and its spreading rapidly.

    I think 700 US$ is a fair price for a car in this state with a smoking engine.

    I'm looking for a Buick to do a road trip in, you can even have the car back for free if it survives the journey :TU:

    If I could take $700 for it I would but I simply cannot. I figured someone could get at least $1200 parting it out but I simply do not have the time. And when I say smoke I mean I have seen restored 69 Camaros on my classic car smoke more than this on start up and taking off. I finally got some pictures and I will up load them when I get home from work.

    Well, I'm offering to give you the car back for free at the end of my trip.

    So if you think it can make a 3500 miles trip without major breaking down trouble (like the engine giving, or the transmission going down, or messing up the rear axle), you can earn 700 US$ and still have the car back.

    I misunderstood that smoke problem, probably has to do with the fact that there are no valve stem seals on the exhaust valves of Buick engines ?

    Worn valve guide seals will cause some smoke at startup. As long as it clears up quickly, there's nothing to worry about.
