This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Randy...
    Those pictures are "First Class". You have a nack on taking good pictures. You should be the offical Buick picture taker for the NW Buick Group!
    And...I really like the 65 Electra you have. I once had a 66 Electra Convertible. White with a red interior. Yours looks real straight. Are you going to bring
    it down to the Troutdale Oregon Buick event in August? I would like to see it in person and get a ride too!

    Thanks for the kind words guys! I have wanted a 65 Electra coupe for a while now and while it's not my first choice of colors it's really good and I figure these come up for sale pretty rarely (as far as i have seen). And it helps it was a good deal :Brow: It almost seemed like fate and a lot of my cars are white so it fits with that theme.

    Chris - maybe someday I can compile "A Decade of The Buick Open" photo book! Haha.. and since you challenged me I got a bunch of shots of your GS. I like the ones with the train behind it.

    Roy - yup that is the same car. I took the 1st Ave bridge down but left the other way and it's literally like a mile from Sea Tac! The guy said he had someone from BCA give an appraisal. I mentioned the show to him and he said he should have brought it by and i said no you should not have! :)

    Doug - thanks! Hey you want another wagon to add to your collection? My Regal is like a little brother to your wagon

    Eric - thank you!! I feel pretty rusty as I haven't been taking photos lately as much as I used to, but I'm always up to take Buick shots. I never get sick of them! I have to check dates again around the Oregon show.. one of my cousins down there is getting married but I think it's the wrong weekend. I want to drive it down for that show so badly!! The other problem is it's very new to me and there are a few issues I want to address before a road trip.. just hopefully easy stuff. ie- I need to solve a vibration at low to mid speeds, change fluids and basic maintenance.

    Yea I didnt give a appraisal I just gave my two cents on what I thought market value was. I even thought of buying myself.I Liked it
    I know he really wanted it to go to a Buick guy so it worked out good.

    Oh that was you! Haha... yeah it is a nice car. There are obviously small flaws but overall the originality and preservation is great. From my initial research the engine has Riviera numbers? Maybe it was replaced at some point, I think it's the same year.. I was a little confused by it - I can post the #s later when I get home if anyone knows. But I was really happy to find out mine is the top-shelf Electra 225 Custom sport coupe. So that's kinda cool :grin:
