The B-body Buick Roadmaster (a badge engineered version of the Chevrolet Caprice Estate) is like legendary professional wrestler André the Giant. It started out large, and just kept growing into something colossal and is now a legend.

Find this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for sale in Sellersville, PA for $7,200 via craigslist. Tip from Aaron K.

André René Roussimoff died in 1993 due to congestive heart failure, a complication from his lifelong battles with gigantism and acromegaly. The 4400 lb B-body Roadmaster was canceled in 1996 and was the last full sized station wagon and last full sized rear-drive automobile from General Motors. Both had lived full lives beyond the era of their fame, and like Dinosaurs who stumbled into the Cenozoic era by accident, looked around nervously for the exit before finding the way out.

The Roadmaster is powered by the LT1, a cast iron pushrod and fuel injected equipped V8 that was good for 260 horsepower and 330 ft-lbs of torque. While the Giant was known to consume over 100 bottles of beer in one sitting, the Roadmaster has a similar thirst for high octane fuel.

The only thing you need to see on the inside of this Roadmaster is the manual shift knob attached to a T-56 6-speed transmission. Today, André the Giant is remembered in the millions of Obey t-shirts, stickers, and fan sites, but the Roadmaster is remembered by the legions of followers who drive them everyday....however this is the only one we've ever seen with a 6-spd manual transmission.

This is EPIC. NP for sure. If my panther didn't have such low miles I would trade it in and buy this for sure.
