Hard to tell, first impression is for a body that looks solid and a 442 that runs its an ok asking price. Lots of nice options but can't tell is that is a box of parts (AC/ OAI) but at least its all there. Its a nice driver one can enjoy and work on little by little.

Congrats Johnny!! That car has all the sweet factory goodies we love and adds value once you work your magic on it.

Looks like it was originally a sienna or bittersweet car based on the picture showing the jamb?

What are your plans for it?

If it's a clean under that yellow repaint as it looks in the photos, that's a good buy. The rear axle isn't original, obviously.

Lots of surface rust, so it was stored outside or improperly.

The paint job could be hiding stuff.

Check for rust, especially under the stainless cowl cover.

You could probably buy it for much less, like $13k.

Looks like a reasonable deal to me. I like it but I agree that the Buick wheels need to go

Maybe the exhaust pipes. They are quite surface-rusty ;-)
