    I sure do!!!!:TU: Actually it is my fathers but it lives in my driveway. It is getting a new fuel pump and oil change tomorrow.
    His is a flat top sedan like yours, has a 2 bbl, auto, full wheel covers, heat, cigarette lighter, speed indicator (buzzer) but no radio or outside mirror.
    I have been trying to get him to do something with it since he bought it about 8 years ago. It needs an interior (dry and torn) the paint is faded and a terrible gold/tan. the car has absolutely no rust, only 32,000 miles (he got it with about 27-28,000) and runs sweet. I would like to either drop it a few inches with some wheels and paint like yours or set it up like a D/S drag car. He is not interested in making any changes. Ironically he is a hot rodder so to keep it stock is unusual. I guess it is because of the low production numbers. I heard something like 7,500 with the flat top sedan roof for '61.
    Your car looks great, I had picked out a limed gold for his car, but it is not going to happen any time soon. :Do No:
    Good luck and congrats on the sweet ride:3gears:

    Finally, another one! You can't find nothing on the net about them. I did gt a production number.......5959, they're rare.

    Show your Dad mine and see what he thinks, later.

    1967 Big Buick One day at a time.

    I looked at one in Maine that was for sale last week.
    It was in nice shape but nobody around to talk too.
    It was black and i pictured a set of Boyds on it and it made me drool. So i had to leave.

    inspiration

    The day after I replied, my dad called out of the blue and said he wanted to take it to the upholstery shop to fix the interior. It will be pretty much stock/original pattern but atleast it won't be torn up. As far as the paint, that may take a bit more work....

    I'll try to get over my dads house with a camera. I barely know how to use this computer so down loading out cheapy digital may not work well. I'll figure something out.

    There's one for for sale here in Dayton, though its not as night and overpriced in my opinon for its condition.

    Not trying to steal your thread. I have one and I am going to sell it. Two door flat top 364 2-barrel. Dosen't run, the water pump went out and the old man owner tryed to remove it and broke several bolts off in the timming cover. Thats when I got it 5 years ago. Too many other projects to do, so I was thinking about selling it. If any one is interested let me know. The car is located in central California and I want $700.00 for it. It is very clean.
    Thanks

    Hi 1lowlesabre. I drooled my Custom Rodder magazine when I saw your car. I was still shopping for one at the time. There's one in Portland, Oregon for sale also. Only other one I've ever seen.

    Yep, just got it this weekend. I haven't even seen it yet, it's at my father's house in Houston until I figure out how to get it to CA.
    I was actually shopping for an original survivor so I could personalize it myself, but this one was just screaming my name!
