"Too many cars, and not enough room." I'll end up with it for parts (GSX spoiler, B&M floor shifter, NICE Buick mags, White Bucket seats, Grant Steering Wheel with Tri-Shield horn Button, new stereo system with CD changer!). I sold it because it didn't have power brakes (I like POWER brakes.) Same reason HE doesn't want it, after driving it for a couple of months. Manual brakes SUCK. I'll give him his $2,000 back for it, it's worth it to me just for the parts.:grin: - '70 Skylark 2 door Post (SOLID car, GSX Spoiler, '71 GS hood, I installed the 455 that's in it. An "ex" Buick owner just sold this car to a "kid". I just found the car again, and met the current owner. He can't "afford" to fix it up, and claims he's a "Chevelle guy, anyway". Guess who's going to end up with ANOTHER one? (For $600, you wouldn't?):Brow:

Buicks My Dad was a "Buick Man" and I remember his '62 Special with an aluminum 215 - heads were warped so bad that he once had to scoop water out of the ditch to refill the radiator. Also, a '65 (I think) 2-door Wildcat that I burned holes in the door panel with the cigar lighter - I still don't know why... They got under my skin, and I've had the following (with lots of other cars sprinkled in over the years) '73 Centurian 350 - front brake rotors worn down to the fins when I bought it! '71 Skylark 350 2 bbl - car was BRIGHT blue with a white vinyl top. '68 GS in signature - 72k mile original car when I bought it. '95 Riv in signature - best car I've ever owned.
