Im not really a big fan of the late 50's early 60's cars but this one DEFINATELY Floats My Boat !!! :TU: :TU: ....buy it now on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6138&item=2454280525
Wow , Thanx for sharing that with us ! Venting is a beautiful thing ...........:rant: Maybe next time , try poping a cold one first ! Anyways ... Yep I think it's a extra nice 60 ! Been on Ebay for awhile . Theres a buyer for everything . No room in my garage ! :laugh: :3gears:
does anybody know if.... the Two-tone was factory original the black inserts in the seats is original ?? I here you on the Salesman's case of verbal diarrhea....but.....he's a used car salesman uzzled: what'd you expect ??
Well, I just looked at the pictures... I thought that the color scheme was a little suspect too. I don't remember ever seeing another car that color from that vintage. It also looks lowered. It might just be the wheels, but I doubt it. - Freed
I don't get tired of seeing that car!!:TU: :bglasses: Definitely a beauty!!! Would be cool to see a custom job on the trunk 'wing' though...like the 'batwing' on the '59 Impala!!:TU: :TU:
An absolute stunna! That thing should have a rumpity 455 with tin can headers and exhaust. It might as well sound as good as it looks.
I know the 2 tone was available (see pic of my originals) but it looks like there is some kinda white beading going around the edges that is suspect. Man, I love the way that ebay car looks. I wish mine just ran:ball:

John seeing the Munster's Coach on the site reminds me of the time Herman took it to the drag strip to race and had to stop it with his feet which caught his shoes on fire after pulling him around . Very funny the way they did that scene.
Yes Sir! The Good Ole Daze for sure. Wish they still made shows like that for my children (seriously). Monsters ( and one token babe of course :Brow: ) mind bending kustom coffin cars and such, a big ole haunted house with secret passages, beasts, and of course a hidden underground workshop! What more could a guy ask for? :laugh: :laugh:

We are doing a whole thread on him:laugh: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?threadid=34866&goto=newpost Man, did you read the details on the Fireball cars paint job? "forty coats of hand rubbed lacquer called Fireheat which consists of multi color blends in white pearl of essence, faded into gold Murano, blended throughout in reflective gold leaf, carried through into Kandy Tangerine, then blended into translucent Kandy red and finished off in burgundy. It took four men and six days of spraying to blend these multi colors from white fireball heat into soothing burgundy". :eek2: :eek2: Course 160mph in the 1/4 mile courtesy of a modified 426 Hemi is purrtee cool too:Brow: :3gears:
