My latest Buick I bought on ebay. It originally came from AZ. The last owner in MN used it as a'pleasure' car, so it was in relatively good shape.
The previous owner put a complete dual stainless-steel, mandrel bent, magnaflow exhaust system which sounds sweet. he also put some Coker semi-wide-whites on. Not my style, but they fit they original style of that era.
I just had to change all the fluids, install a TA waterpump, 12-SI 94-amp alternator, a Powermaster starter/solenoid, 2/0 wiring, Optima battery, all new gates hoses and belts, a flex-fan and an Accel 71105 electronic distributor with a jacob's ultra coil and Accel 300+ ignition wires.
This car is my favorite transportation car. I have a practically new Lexus my Dad left me, but find that i always use the Boattail. It handles remarkable well for a big car, starts immediately, idles well, has crisp throttle response and is drop-dead reliable (i guess I mean very much alive and kicking).
