    Hi everybody, I am in South Alabama. I have an 82 Buick Lasabre Wagon. It is pretty plain. No wood siding and no roof rack. Roll up windows! Exactly what I was looking for, almost. I wish it had a third seat. Only paid $700 bucks for it and drove it home about 12 miles with no problems. Hope to find some answers and suggestions as I get it started! Want to add a third seat and basically make it a nice driver. Has. 307 Olds and 4 speed auto.

    Welcome aboard Tsimm. Sounds like a great car and a heckuva score for $700 :1st:
    Post some photos when you get a chance.

    Welcome to the group. Nothing wrong with a simple car. Fewer parts to break and then look for. That Olds 307 and the GM transmission are what are important and they seem to be very durable on our 87 Safari. Enjoy.

This is how I bought it. My plans are simple. Fix interior, add a third seat and nice paint and wheels and then have a nice weekend cruiser!​
