Bidding topped out at $10,700 and did not meet the $12,500 reserve.
This car may be doomed to an eternity on eBay, forever searching for a caring home.... poor thing.
Might be a different story come springtime.
It's still a great looking, driveable, air-conditioned A-body convertible.
Without an in-person inspection, I'm certainly not going to say it's a good car. It does have some issues. I just noticed the door panels are not originals but poor copies, so add that to the list.
Sure, it may not be 'the car' for a Buick enthusiast due to the incorrect items, but it might be a decent buy for the casual enthusiast just looking for a classic vert.
For comparison....
Another '66 GS air-conditioned convertible sold last month for $9300. This one would appeal to even the most discriminating Buick enthusiast!
Looks like a very-original car, probably even original paint. That pinstriping looks original.
It's been off the road for some time and needs the driving systems (brakes, steering, trans, etc) gone through.
I think those are 'vintage' Firestone bias-ply tires!!
Body is banged up here and there. But what you see is what you get, whereas the silver car could be a 'pig with lipstick'.
I would certainly take this car over the silver one. But it may not be for the casual person, as it needs a lot to make it even a weekend driver.
