    This car has been for sale for the last year or so you think for 28K it would have a 72 front end, factory sport mirrors, and factory rocker panel molding's Hundred bucks says it was a color change.

    Jeesh, those paint colors can't be correct. Those wheels are likely not original either. The steering wheel cover (I'm somewhat sure) has the wrong date code. And those floor mats are definitely repro, look at the sheen. Hell, I bet the tires aren't even original!! Psh, $1200. Not a penny more. This is v8buick d*mnit. Crap better be flawless. Every persons car here is top notch, better than any junker listed for sale! If it was perfect, it'd already be owned by a member here and wouldn't be for sale! All others must be as well or scrap iron prices it is! Thank goodness we're all too good for these piles of feces!! Anything less than 110% correct wont be worth the whopping one dollar per pound all these cars will be bringing 10-15 years from now when absolutely no one gives a **** about them and the metal for recycling will be more valuable. F this car and anyone dumb enough to buy it, they should have something much better and be a member already.

    This one is in my neck of the woods. Haven’t seen it in quite a while though. Looks like it would be a fun driver, but I seem to remember the paint being a tad too “blingy” for me

    I'm sorry but that looks like a pile of ****,...how can you not even bring the stripes to a point on the fender?? How could anyone look at that after masking it off and deciding it look good enough to paint??

    Well Ethan, it was either stop the stripe there, or extend the fender. What can you do?
