Think the gold one behind it’s a ‘76 too. Also a whale wagon along the wall.

 

A LOT full of neat cars on that property......

This one is nice enough it should be on B-A-T or maybe E-Bay.

 

This is the guy from the Poconos that has the warehouse full of cars. I believe we've seen his Edsel wagon and a Colony or two and maybe a LeBaron T&C. We've seen his cars posted here before. I don't think he sells many. They may be pretty nice and he may know/think what they are work, if that makes sense.

I gotta admit, he likes a lot of the cars that I like......

 

Have never seen such a rich looking interior in an American wagon. That leather (?) would not be out of place in the senior partner's office of a high end law office.

 

he may know/think what they are work, if that makes sense.

Meant to say"what they are worth" - duh

 

Dang!
If you look-close at the passenger-side front fender, there is Rust coming-thru the woodgrain. No real way to fix that easily

 

You can also see the tailgate is not closing completely on the right side.

 

Unfortunately, it's just vinyl. These Estate Wagons DIDN'T get an 'Electra 225'-grade interior. Seats at least were strictly LeSabre issue....... In later years you COULD get an Electra interior in them.

 

Nice Buick - but I find the price very ambitious. I would want virtual perfection for that. And this is not even close.

Dirty, rusty and very tired looking engine compartment. Rusty air cleaner and badly cracked hoses.

 

Otherwise, I really like it. Seriously, this Buick has real value, but it is far from perfect that is the suggested price would indicate.

 

I have seen this car in person. It is a clean honest car. I was out to the property but the car was inside when I saw it (very dark in the building) and it wasn’t cleaned yet. It is nice but I agree that the price is a little steep. Probably the thing that detracted me most was that the chrome seemed dull (but maybe it polished up) and I wouldn’t want to have to pull it all apart to re chrome all the handles and such. The brown one has some holes around the windows and you can tell it’s spent a considerable amount of time outside, but still not a bad car for a project.

 

Thanks for telling us the brown '76 has other issues. Cannot tell that from the background photos.

 

Which is a shame as it appears more highly optioned then the red one.

 

No...it’s not...it just has the wheels. In fact if I recall the brown one is a 2 seat wagon. The red is pretty much fully loaded and the story that I heard from the current owner is that he purchased it from the original owner and that guy didn’t like the chrome wheels and had the dealer switch them out to wheel covers at the time of purchase.
