10/10 would buy the buick back. I hope they have the fender skirts, also kinda dumb to strip the paint off of a car and not paint immediately , good recipe for having to do all the prep again.

I'd say the only one that is not CP is the '54 Plymouth. The '79 Chrysler guy is in CP Dreamland.

Is the Buick the exact same specimen as the one you sold?

You could certainly lay some paint on your old car.

The skirts were there when I sold it, so hopefully they didn’t get lost along the way.

It looks like it has been being worked on/stored in the garage, so stripping it for paint can be a long process, I know it needed some steel work.

I actually wonder how much has been done since I sold it. I kinda wanna call the guy just to go look, but I know how that will end.

It is THE car. They’ve put 2k miles on it and stripped the body since I sold it.

I really, REALLY wanted to go widebody with it, do like a pro-touring style build on it. My plan was to strip it, weld in the widebody, then clean it up and clear it as is.

Eh, $1300 is a damn good price for a running/driving classic IMO. Especially one that’s not rotted to hell.

Honestly I don’t think any of them are terribly priced, usually a damn shell that needs floors, quarters, trunk pan, etc will bring $4-5k without question.

It looks quite nice, especially for the price.

My old 66 Electra has a special place in my heart though.

I love the hidden headlight fuselage Plymouths, and the four-doors look more balanced than the two -doors.
