I don't really care which year, or which specific make. I live in New York near the small city of Binghamton. I'm looking for any Boattail that is affordable and all intact. Doesn't have to be running or 100% drivable, but definitely restorable. And either close enough for me to pick it up or need some way to have it shipped cheap. WHat is the cheapest way to have one shipped? I highly appreciate any help that anyone can give. Thanks Rob
check on Ebay, they always have boattails on there. The cheapest way to get a car to your house is drive there your self and pick it up on a trailer. The next best way is to pay a shipping company and put it on an open car trailer. Here are a few on Ebay right now: 71 in NJ: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1971...oryZ6142QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem 71 in FL: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1971...oryZ6142QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem 72 in CA (a little far) :laugh: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972...oryZ6142QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem 72 in KS: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972...oryZ6142QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem 73 in FL: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1973...oryZ6142QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem -Jake ps- hope you find your dream! :TU:
thanks a lot. I've actually been checking on those. I'm in contact with the one from NJ already. But thank you for the intell anyways.
Rob, Put your first name in your signature, I hate to talk to you and call your Dream...... uzzled: How much is it you're willing to pay for your Boattail ? And isn't the cheapest way of transporting a car just driving it ? Hitch-hike your way up, and drive the car home. It's fun, and it's like a short holiday away from it all :TU:
Erik, Thanks for the tip I'll try and fix that. I've actually thought about driving the car back. Unfortunately, driveable cars are usually expensive and the car I'm currently looking at is in Portland, OR and I live in Owego, NY giving me an approximately 41 hour drive. that's a lot of hours to be putting on a old car I just got. Rob
Come on down to greensbuickfarm It's a shame you are not closer to Oklahoma...I have 5 of them in various stages of driveability and affordability... White, Blue, Black, Gold. Buckets, bench, 71, 72, 73... ou:
71 riv My father has a 71 Boattail that hes selling shortly. He bought it off his friend. So far he replaced the trunk lid & tires. Its gold exterior and white and black or green interior. The inside is in prestine shape very very nice. The outside could use a good washing and compounding. Email me face0nmilkcart0n@aol.com for more info
fyi - in the "parts for sale" section someone has a bunch of early 70's boattail parts for sale . and - next door to me there is a boattail parked - good news , its only about 50 miles from binghamton - bad news , its been sitting outside for wwaaayyyy too long , last time i checked the guy wasn't too interested in selling , i got the impression he thought it was worth a ton - i got the impression from looking at it it was a parts car ? del
