1978 Buick Estate wagon

I stumbled upon this one during a late-night internet search.

It's not too far from me. I'm considering saving it. Any opinions?

- Power options work
- Buick 350 that will run, but won't idle
- solid car
- wood grain faded and cracked
- What's a reasonable price based on its condition?

Like I said in the other thread, looks shiny on the outside.

 

That would be the more rare Electra Estate Wagon. If its not rusty underneath, and the price is right, it would be worth saving. Besides the woodgrain, it looks like it would be pretty easy to clean up.

 

Ahhhhhh didn't realize that was you I was responding to on FB, Prof!

 

Now my secret is out! hahaha

 

Not many left with a Buick 350. Only offered till 1980 I believe.

 

That 350 is a honey. Over all the carooks great. If the underside is good, that should be about $2,000, I would not think. Maybe a not more.

 

Well, I did it! I put a deposit on the '78 Buick. When the weather clears, I will complete the purchase and the wagon will be on its way to me. I'll keep you updated with news and additional pictures.

 

Congrats Professor!!!! I wonder how different you new Buick and my 78 Catalina Safari is, my Cat is also Powered by a Buick 350 4bbl. I hope it is as great as it looks in the pictures!!!!! Looking forward to seeingmore.

 

Great find and well worth saving! This one has the fairly rare and expensive Estate Wagon Limited option package (available only 1978-79)! Please post some more pics when you get it home!
