    Looks nice, gold with brown vinyl top, tan interior, dealer is asking $3,500. The 5-digit odometer photo shows 64,000 miles; maybe it's 164,000 miles. No woodgrain but otherwise it appears to be loaded with 455 4bbl, power windows, locks, seat, tilt, climate control, 9-passenger, 8-track and cornering lights.

    I think I see a little bubbling under the vinyl on the D-pillar, but otherwise the body looks good.

    I'm pretty sure those aren't the correct wheel covers, but otherwise a nice Buick.

    Wait a minute!! 8 track!! Sure would be nice to see a pic of it, birthday boy, can you run over there and take a pic of it for us? Maybe listen to it and report? See how Santana sounds on it.

    As it happens, I had a 'Santana' in my 8-track collection...back in 1970.
    I would imagine that any sound you got out that Buick's 8-track player would be more a product of the tape that's playing than of the player that's playing it.........
