    erik- that sucks bad! that is why i carry a fire extinguisher in my call all the time. u never know when u might need to use it on your car or someone else's vehicle.

    Glad to hear that some parts of the car were saved! PLUS the heart (engine) went to a new home, you should find out who bought the engine and keep track of the engine swap... I find this stuff all pretty interesting, the trials and tribulations of these precious vehicles. I have a feeling that the big old Buick might do well against the other cars in the "banger" event... I agree about the v6, might not move quick without a 5.89 gear LOL!

    Erik, Good luck. It has to be tough to be into Buicks when the source of everything and another car is so far away. Good luck to the man in the land of windmills and Tulips.

    Peoria Il. isnt to terribly far from chicago. Somebody should be way closer than I am. I would just like to try to help because of what happened to the riv. I would try to find a member instead of an agency for multiple reasons. For the price for agency, I'm thinking you could have somebody from chicago area drive down and fully document it for you.

    Do you suppose an auto appraiser would offer such a service?
    While it may be outside their normal scope of business, an independent appraiser may work with you on it.
