If the map location on the Craigslist ad is accurate, I live very close to this car. If I can be of any help, let me know.
Wow! That thing is GORGEOUS. Knee-jerk reaction is it's strong money for a 74 anything, but if any malaise era car can bring it, that'd be a good candidate.
Beautiful car which has obviously had some great restoration work. What would scare me is the obvious heavy pitting on the chassis components before painting. Makes me wonder what the car looked like before restoration. Is that 2 tone interior treatment factory correct? I would think the 2 tone choice with this exterior color would have been a maroon like accent color but maybe several options were available? Tom
Olds called that interior Compati-color, don't know what Buick called it. If you ordered white seats, you could pick from various colors for the rest of the interior (dash, carpet, headliner, etc).
I believe that this was a members car several years ago, Minneapolis area maybe? Back then it was very tough to sell a Colonade car and he was looking for very reasonable money for it, I considered it but then found my 73 S1. It has been advertised and flipped several times, my 68 ended up with these guys in Lutz FL, they flipped that for some serious money.
