    I found this lead through a Facebook page and felt I had to rescue this car before someone donked it out. I will be picking it up next weekend in S Florida. Been told its one owner. He passed and left to his widow who never drove it. I've been assured its rust free despite the northern tags. Seller is the step son of the owner and son of the widow. She's in poor health and has to give up the place where it is now sitting. It has been started in the last few days and driven around the block.
    Any interest in it here? Dont really need another car. Just could not let this one slip by without trying to get her into a Buick owners/ lovers hands

    You rascal you Briz :beers2:. Doesn't look too bad other than the bonked rear bumper. Hopefully it will find a good home. Good Luck and thanks for saving it from the hackers!
    What interior is in it? Did you look in trunk, looks like there is 500lb of cocaine in there.

    Sorry, forgot about the price. How about 7500.00 after I put new tires on it and rebuild the carb to make her run and drive right?

    It has the standard buckets, center con and floor shift. From the other pictures I saw it needs nothing but a good clean up If there is Coke in there I'll have to sell that separate in another thread.

    Looks like it is the same color as my GS400. Platinum Mist. If it is rust free it would be a nice pickup.

    I wish the Canadian dollar was better, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. As it stands it's CDN$ 10K to me, and out of the question. Good luck!

    Got the car home last night. She is cleaner than my 68 was when I bought it. Started right up and drove up on the trailer.Will need a good tune up and possibly a carb rebuild. Steering wheel dash pad and headliner are perfect. Drivers seat needs repaired worn out on the bottom / center.
    Other than surface rust on the bare metal parts underneath and a very few minor bubbles under the paint I see no rust. There is one spot on the inside corner of the passenger door where the sealer pealed away that shows raw rust but no where close to rust through. Top is factory and in good condition. All the stainless is very nice. Has had a repaint using base / clear. Minor scuffs here and there. Back bumper is roached. Could be fixed but Id replace it if I was keeping the car. Will get her up on the lift today and get detailed pics to post later

    As you can see from the pictures below the only rust is light surface rust on the exposed steel. I noticed the heat riser was gone. It has an incorrect carburetor on it. needs plugs and wires pretty bad. There is a slight miss at idle.I put a known good carb off my 68 for testing and driving purposes and it does run pretty good as is. It will need tires before it drives anywhere except in the driveway or onto a trailer. Replaced the top radaitor hose and the bypass hose. both were rotted and leaking. If it has a stat its stuck in the open position. Didnt see any noticeable oil leaks on the engine. L'll get more pics of the rest of the ext and int soon.

    Rear axle code looks like PJ which would be an open 3:07 gear

    . . . pretty decent looking '67 Steve, looks like a new fuel pump too? :Do No:
    On most of our northern cars, you would be very hard pressed to find a rear axle code that easy !
