Introduction: 32,165 actual miles, 1 owner most of its life. Being
the last year of the convertible, the owner ordered this car and
kept extra good care of it. It was used as a pleasure car, never
driving it in winter. We acquired it from the 2nd owner, a car
collector known for having outstanding cars (about 30 currently).
He bought it in 2022 and brought it up to his high standards with
new chrome, paint, top and gave it a service and detail. It must be
one of the nicest in existence! The order form, build sheet,
invoice and full glove box pouch is included.
EXTERIOR: The collector bought it with original paint and although
it looked real good with no rust or damage it wasn't up to his high
standards. He completely repainted the car in its original,
beautiful Ruby Red Metallic color. It's better than when it was new
with a gloss finish. He even had it hand pinstriped instead of
tape. The chrome, bumpers and even the wheels were sent to his
plater in TN. It has the optional sport mirrors, bumper guards, and
the original dealership tag on the trunk. The windshield is
original glass and crystal clear. The weatherstrips are in
excellent shape. The power convertible was replaced with a crisp,
white top that has a glass rear window with a defogger. It was
ordered with the optional Buick mags, now that they have been
rechromed they look amazing on this car!
INTERIOR: The interior is in practically brand new condition and
it's original! Down on the floor is beautiful carpet and original
mats. The dash area is pristine: all the chrome is sparkling,
lenses are clear, ashtray doesn't look like it's ever been used.
Its original AM FM stereo works and dig up the old 8-tracks because
it has that too! Inside the glove box is the original pouch with
the owner's manuals and some maintenance records. The upholstery is
still like brand new, it has a 60/40 split bench seat with the
comfortable fold down armrest. The door panels are also mint and
they have power windows. The interior lights all work.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has the optional 455 motor which is original
to this car. The entire engine compartment was carefully detailed.
The metal surfaces are painted a nice and smooth satin black while
the raw fiberglass heater box is still mint. It still has the
yellow plastic shroud, overflow bottle and washer bottle that are
in excellent shape. It even has a Delco reproduction battery. It's
complete with new hood insulation, the horns and squirters are
hooked up, all of the ductwork off the air cleaner is in place. It
has been serviced too, alternator and master cylinder look new. It
is a 4 barrel carburetor and the motor runs smooth. Features
include air conditioning, cruise control, power steering and
brakes.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
real pretty. It still has its original stickers, the weatherstrip
looks new. Inside has its original spatter finish paint with the
mat and liner. It also has its original spare and chrome wheel
along with its complete jack assembly. The trunk light works!
UNDERSIDE: The bottom of the car was cleaned with dry ice and looks
practically new! There is no rust at all. The steering, suspension
and brakes were inspected and serviced as needed. It has disc in
front with the e-brake assembly still hooked up. The factory
exhaust still has its catalytic converter, resonator and the
muffler looks new. The fuel tank is clean. The bottom of the motor
was detailed. The Turbo 400 automatic trans is #s matching to this
car, serviced and detailed.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
The collector we got the car from doesn't flip cars, he is fussy
and makes them "right", that is how he likes them. Starting with a
clean car and after throwing a bunch of money at it, it's now one
of the nicest anywhere! Beautiful to look at too, the colors and
wheels make it.
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
