    Garyd,

    People log in to V8Buick and click the NEW POSTS button to see what's new.
    So you don't really have to post this same message 3 times in various sections of the board :TU:

    And that's one great looking Electra :bglasses: !!!

    That car already is going for more than the top prize at most derbies, so I don't see how it would make sense. Hmmm

    Because it's a 70's full size Buick: you can win 20 derbies in it and still drive it home under it's own steam..... :bglasses:

    That's 187,50 Euro, so that's only 37,50 Euro an hour. Plus your petrol, insurance, special taxi license etc. etc.....
    Not worth it: Start with 500 Euro for the first hour and with a maximum of 100 KM including the trip up and back home. Any extra hour and KM will add up to the total bill.

    That's still cheap, it's 1.48 a liter here.
    But even without the high petrol prices: Don't forget that the costs for a garage for a car that size will set you back at least 1200 Euro in a year. Parts are 3 times what you pay in N-America.

    Why don't you just buy that eBay car ?
    Looks like it needs very little work, might be cheaper in the end :TU:

    Greg Schmelzer What are you looking at?!

    Here's a thought, Todd...

    It isn't too far from us here. How's about you buy it, Eric and I go get it and bring it up to you when we come to get his aluminum heads from JW?

    No excuses anymore.

    Tell me when!!! :laugh: :TU:

    I am the new owner of this car; I and my friend are traveling over from Norway to Missouri to pick it up in late May.
    We are going to use it on our vacation over there for 3 weeks.
    I am looking for the lower parts of the door panels for this car, left and right front doors. The armrests are in bad condition on these car.
    Anybody who knows were to get new or nice used ones. They are blue vinyl.
    Pictures of the car at my website.
    I will appreciate any tips or help about this.
