1973 Buick Estate Wagon

Derby bait. Dream on at $4k.

They rebuilt the motor.

 

$4k used to get you a pretty decent wagon. Actually, it still does. This guy is just O T L .................

 

I'd drive the ugly SOB

 

At that price?

 

Oh hell no. lotta start out work needed here like gutting that ratty interior LOL.

 

This looks like one that was for sale last summer. i'm looking at the two rust "dots" on both at the front of the left front fender and missing trim on the driver side rear door. http://barnfinds.com/picturesque-1973-buick-estate-wagon/

 

Looks like a decent starter project. Minimal rust that needs patched. Make the interior custom or do it back to stock. Wouldn't hurt the value much either way at this point.

 

If it's just honest rust and no Bondo, it looks like much more work than it really is.

 

Baker - is this your car? Or do you have like a twin to this beast?

 

Have someone local take a look at it for you.

 

I used to see those vehicles new. It's weird to see them run down like that, as if stepping into some space ship and then returning after several generations. It should get sold to Zombies. It is a Zombie car, afterall.

 

This ugly thing is still available.

At least they cleaned up or painted over the rail dust by the gas cap.

Eeh, it's commendable that they have this side window pic:

Those window lips look very scary.
