Young guy in 4wd not paying attention this morning and hit me. I’m in Australia but will be looking for right rear qtr. rear bumper and trunk lid rear tail panel lights etc Can anyone point me to a source obviously expect 2nd hand I will be in US in 3 weeks Thanks in advance. Oh it’s a 2 door hardtop Bound to happen given it’s a daily driver
Damdamdamdam! Hate to see that happen to one of my favorite cars on the board. I'll start craigslisting for you tomorrow.
Chris save yourself some shipping the 1/4 is very repairable, in my shop anyway. Find an older shop ( with talent) unless you are doing the repairs. Get a set of hinges also at least a right side. Any questions give me a pm. Good luck with it. Where in the USA will you be?
I'm going to be Chicago and Jersey. Yeah I looked at the qtr. It's pushed both in and out right at the bumper, there is also a bit of trim missing. I went back to the scene but the trim has gone, also the broken lens plastic is gone so someone has cleaned up. I thought I would need hinges and taillight surrounds. everything else is probably OK. I reckon a good beater might even save the trunk lid and bumper. Lot of work but could be done. Tail panel is the worry for me. I did slide under it. Zero damage to the frame. I just moved interstate so my guys that I use and trust for my cars are all 3,000 miles away, so getting some recommendations from locals on good shops. Lots of old cars in my area (retirement region, so lots of older guys with good contacts). Will keep you in mind if I run into some challenges. Thanks for the offer of advice
Chris that's too bad, too many distracted drivers these days no matter which continent you're on. I've seen this car listed here for a long time. Maybe gone...maybe rusted out...may be missing a zero or two...
Some hoarder guy just up the road from me had them, He has a bunch of Buick cars too most of them are decent shape. Guys a little weird thou but super nice.
Wow, I resemble that guy, lol! Chris, do you know if a four door Le Sabre trunk lid is the same as the coupe?
Might be worth a call https://reno.craigslist.org/pts/d/buick-collection-of-parts-used-nosmost/6833979388.html
Thanks all, this is awesome. Appreciate the speedy responses. I'm just getting the go ahead from my Insurance company today and will start pulling the trigger on the buying spree. Now, I need wiser more sensible heads than me to remind me, just fix what's broken, don't let this snowball into a complete rebuild / upgrade.....I can count on you all for that right ?
