    Every time a see something like that, the first thing that comes to my mind is

    "Clown wheels"... must have been something in my long past that had silly oversized wheels, and been associated with circus clowns.

    nice color combo, looks sweet. I keep thinking of the one John Chamberlain has or had reminds me of it.

    GAK!! those rims!! My eyes!!

    Other that that it's nice although a bit tired looking. That carpeting needs replacing. Lots of little things in the interior.

    Is that diamond plate supposed to be in the trunk? I'm guessing not.

    After they spent $11,000 on that car as they claim, they should have either put the Buick Rallies back on it or at least a set of 15 or 16 in. popular aftermarket wheels. They will lose buyers like it is IMO.

    They must have used 2 cans of WD-40 on the engine compartment. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Wow...it IS the exact color combo of mine. Wonder if it's an original black car? Virtually the same options too. Looks to be in good driver condition. I went too far with mine and now it is too nice to drive....

    The driving lights/turn signals are Tri Shield embossed on the lenses just not in colors.

    They painted the fan shroud black, And I bet that trunk with the carpet and diamond plate is hiding some secrets! The Dash is cracked down the middle and speaker grills, the quarter window pieces are falling to pieces like most do and would be super hard to replace.
    I could work with this car but no where near $24 k.

    66electrafied Just tossing in my nickel's worth

    You guys just proved that knowledge and attention to detail is power.


    So this is car is lipstick on a pig; - primped up and sitting on a dealer's floor, designed to get the first guy who thinks he knows it all to buy it.

    Years ago. I Bid on a '74 Black with red guts, stage 1, that had a big "STAGE 1" in white letters across the hood like a mopar. Was much cleaner than this car, but that was awhile ago.

    With those wheels it nearly qualifies for "Mullet lead of the Day".

    I asked about the car and made an offer and got a response, then I asked about the trunk and better pictures without the carpet and what’s the diamond plate that’s going on?.............Crickets.

    Saying nothing, says alot....

    That diamond plate is a cheap workout mat you can buy at big box stores. I put it under my rugs at home to make them more pleasant. It's certainly there to pad the trunk, and shouldn't be hard to show what's underneath it.

    I highly doubt that car has 41k miles on it. The carpet, interior and engine bay say 141k to me but you never know. Nobody believes my Century has 36k miles and it's a LOT cleaner than this one.

    Still 11k is reasonable I think to ask for this car assuming everything is mechanically sound.

    Good call on what that is in the trunk, and yea you’re right it shouldn’t be hard to pull it back and let us see what’s there.
    I would have already bought it at $11k , but $23,900?......lol.
