Vehicle Description
What a striking car. I immediately knew I wanted it at first sight.
Then it only got better when I inspected it. Turns out it is
California rust free car. Stunning factory color combination,
upgraded wheels and cloth top really make it classy. It's loaded
with options too.
EXTERIOR: This is a California car and it is absolutely straight
clean original metal. It fits unbelievably well even with the
windows and top up the doors still click shut like a new car. It
was born a black car, so maybe someone took extra care of it
because it was black. The paint is a beautiful hard gloss with
great reflection. There are a few small imperfections on the hood.
Up front the bumper is show quality, the grill is beautiful
original condition. It has the dual mirrors with the Buick logos on
them. The spears on the quarter panels have been restored. In back
the bumper is show quality and the tail lights look almost brand
new condition. It also has trim around the gas cap and rear quarter
stone shields. The 17 inch chrome wheels with red line radial tires
really sets this car off. Up on top is a very rich German black
cloth convertible with the glass rear window.
INTERIOR: Inside the car is beautiful. It's born red with factory
bucket seats and cushion center console. It's very well kept with
some restoration. The carpets have been replaced, new reproduction
floor mats. Seats were reupholstered in the proper patterns.
Beautiful dash- the instrument lenses are, chrome sparkles. crystal
clear. Has the speed minder and also an upgraded Buick retro stereo
that fit right in, no holes were cut. It also has a Mark IV air
conditioning unit mounted under the dash that will drop ice cubes
in your lap. The interior lights work, even the glove box light
works. The plastic steering wheel has no cracks. It is also a
factory power window car. Looking up, the red convertible top frame
is nice. Has a red convertible top boot, the well liner that the
top goes into is new. It has it's original seat belts in front,
seat belts have also been added for the rear passengers. Mounted
under the dash is an oil and temperature gauge so you can monitor
the engine vitals.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The compartment is all cleaned up and orderly.
At the heart of it is the Wildcat 401 nailhead motor with 4 barrel
carburetor and 445 lbs of torque. It's neatly painted the correct
Buick aqua. The exhaust manifolds have been coated. All the nuts,
bolts, gaskets and hardware is clean and fresh. The engine bay is
smooth metal painted black. It has power steering and brakes. The
washer bottle is there along with the original glass refill bottle.
There are a few really nice upgrades too. One of them being a new
air conditioning system, another is cruise control. The generator
was upgraded with a new alternator. The motor is kept cool with the
engine fan and auxilary electric fan in front. Very tidy and proper
motor compartment.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: This trunk is huge, it has a full size spare and
you don't even notice it. It has rock solid metal that has been
carpeted. The spare has matching carpet cover, the jack is mounted
properly. Trunk light works. Bottom of trunk lid and jamb are
painted nice, weather stripping is new. Trunk clicks shut like a
new car.
UNDERSIDE: Super clean original California metal. No rust or
patches, clean factory seams. Body bushings were replaced. Upfront
the suspension and steering has been rebuilt and detailed. In back
it has an air ride operated by remote. Shocks are new. Brakes were
redone, has the famous big finned Buick drums. New dual exhaust

This is a very classy, unique car. It will stand out because there
isn't another one like it. Full of options, it is a great
cruiser!
