    Looks like it's only a six passenger. Very nice but is it 9200 dollars nice?

    Lack of 3rd seat should not disqualify at all.

    A nice car, but, he mentions "one dent in passenger side door" and proceeds to not show any photos of it. If you're going to mention damage, show it. Potential buyers will want to see it so they know exactly what they're getting.

    It's not an almost $10,000 car by any means. Maybe half to, at most, two-thirds that, and that's only because of the low mileage.

    Does seem odd not to show the damaged door. That could be the deal breaker. It really is a nice clean wagon and the mileage would make it worth close to $7500.
    I'm the opposite on engine size. Anything over a 350 does not interest me anymore.

    I realize that. But Fuel is expensive here and it would need the hi-grade. I don't need a 454 to go nine miles to Wal-Mart.:)

    Here's a passenger side photo - does not show damage, at least not visible from a distance. Must be minor.

    Appears to be a darker spot below the door handle on the passenger front door, maybe that is the dent?

    You wouldn't have a lowly 454 but rather a much more desirable Buick 455! :bouncy::clap::thumbs2:

    87 octane regular would work fine. I own 3 72 Buick 455's, they run fine on regular, no need for premium.

    Yup, GM was across the board down to 8.4:1 or less compression ratio motors after 1971.

    I agree - I like to drive my classic cars and gas mileage is important to me. It needs to have adequate power but my Wagon is not a race car.
