Factory A/C ICE COLD (works great) in 2006, the entire system was evacuated and re-charged with the real stuff...R12 freon costing $350
Radiator replaced in 2007
I recently replaced the original hub caps with factory correct Buick Ralley/road wheels. I located these wheels in Arizona. They are solid, and rust-free.
The car is complimented everywhere I take it. It drives better than any other car I have ever owned from this time period. There are no leaks. There are no 'funny noises' or rattles. The body is straight and solid.
The entire top-half of the engine was removed, all rubber hoses and gaskets replaced, and metal repainted. Factory stickers have also been replaced. The heads were removed a couple of years ago, and rebuilt with new parts. Only the short block was left inside the engine compartment when it was detailed. Everything was removed, cleaned, and painted. Car runs like a top. All clamps are the correct factory style tower clamps.
The rear bumper and taillight assemblies were removed, cleaned, painted, and re-installed. Rear bumper is a re-chrome. New trunk rubber. New hood insulation. The car was undercoated some time ago.
Tires are in great shape. A recent 600 mile trip got me 18 miles per gallon! There are some new SUV's today that do worse than that! The car was absolutley fantastic driving. She flawlessly performed between 65-80mph on the highway with no shakes/ or shimmy. Steering wheel steady as a rock. Like sitting on a couch driving on glass. I would trust this car to drive across the country with no problem.
Many NOS parts have been installed on this car - front bumper, headlight bezels, grille emblem, lower grille inserts, front & rear bumper guards
The steering wheel has a typical crack on the top & bottom. Its very very hard to find one without cracks. The center woodgrain on the passenger side has a small scratch on the right side. The left dash bezel has some very light blemishing on the center of the chrome bar. The top half of the dash is perfect! No typical speaker cracks or stains. There is one nickle-sized rust hole in the rear of the trunk pan. That is IT! No other rust. The whole trunk has been treated & coated with a rust-preventive paint. The cars doglegs are solid, but they were repaired before the last repaint (unknown when repainted). There are some blemishes in the paint in certain spots. I could not pick them up on the camera for viewing. I believe these are minor scratch repairs. You cant notice it unless you are looking closely.
Original manual, some receipts, and some old original photos come with the car. The original build sheet also comes with the car. Car was originally assembled in Wilmington, Delaware and shipped to Smith Auto Sales Co. in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
Please come to look and drive this beauty anytime before the auction ends. I am located in central Virginia (west of Richmond City) I am close to I-64 and I-95
I tried to take as many diffrent angle pics as I could think of, if there is something more you would like to see, just email me and I will foward them to you.
PLEASE NOTE:
