Picked up another Buick

[Sillyoldman]

Found it on CL. I expected disappointment but don't have any regrets. It's a 1967 Special. It has the 455 transplant. I was told the motor and trans both have 3k on a rebuild. The sellers 16 y/o son bought the car. He was not supposed to drive it yet but sneaked it out one night and put it in a ditch. It messed up the fender, hood & rear 1/4 panel. Nothing too bad. He said that the car is rust free. I still questioned him since I've never seen a rust free A-body. Truth be spoken it is original and no rust. I do not know any engine specs but was told it has a mild cam. It has a performer intake with a 650 eb carb. It goes like a raped ape. It will pretty much break traction at any speed if I have the courage. I hit a snag transferring the title today. I paid $3700.00 for it and the state (need to be careful discussing this as it could become political) Put a $9700.00 value on it and I have to pay or prove them wrong. I need to have it appraised, provide repair estimates and a signed affidavit by the seller.
