I am in the works of aquiring a 1964 Buick Special for nearly a song and dance, I am not the only one who thinks I am getting a decent deal out of it. I answered an internet classifieds advertisement in the next town. Turns out the guy lost his enclosed rented storage facility to a new owner, and the town officials said his stuff has to go somewhere other than his front yard. He got around selling or junking the Special by licensing and insuring it, but on a seasonal insurance policy. For 39 years old the interior needs the front door armrests replaced, and the rest cleaned. The only exterior needs are the driver side C-pillar/deck area needs filler repair, lower rear fender touch-up on both sides, and some rechroming, along with repainting the faded-cracked factory paint job. It has the 225 V-6 engine, whatever automatic that came behind it back in '64, and whatever gears came with that combo. I am wondering what to do with this car, restoration would only do this car justice, but a full custom job came to mind. The MRS. is not exactly up to par with this deal as I have just started showing my last project car, a 1981 Chevy Malibu Classic, and have two project trucks in the works at this time, a 1991 S-10 with an OLDS 350, and a 1982 Chevy C-10 with a Cadillac 500 engine. I have pics of all these over at the Hotrodders.com site where I normally hang out. I use the same username on all the forums I join, and I hope to make new friends over here also. Matt.
Welcome! You got a great looking car! I own a '65 Skylark hardtop. I love it! I'd put a Buick V-8 in your car and build it the way you want. Is it a 2 door or 4 door?
