They look like cool cars Chris! No regrets here as the only one I sold was a 66 Gran Sport convertible with a sbc engine in it when I got it. The new owner did put a nailhead back in with the T-10. The rest I still have.

Dear Chris, Jim, and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

my 65 Riv.Regret it everyday.

My Dad came close to junking my trusty wagon on several occasions, but we always talked him out of it.  So the only Buick I could have lost . . . . I still have!  :love4:

Just one problem.  Caring for my trusty wagon these days has become complicated and expensive!  :BangHead:

Choose your poison!

Cheers, Edouard

You can always park it and preserve it the best you can and at least you will still have it in the future,you sell it chances are you'll never get it back.

Declined on a '68 GS400 in about 1984. $800 was crazy money for an old Buick! Oh yeah - this was in Nevada, so it was rust-free. Also, my dad had a '74 Gran Sport that I also declined buying.

I know my dad regrets selling his 66gs post car. He had just painted it with 13 coats of black lacquer and sold her for $4000. It was a beautiful car. But in 1984 he said that was a ton of money for a Buick back then.

My '64 Special Deluxe Thin Pillar Coupe (with cheese).

Had from 78-83.

I have dreams about that car.

Replaced the 300/2bbl, ST300 and 2.78 open with an Olds 330, 425 heads, W31 profile cam, 10.25:1 forged slugs, ported and gasket matched heads/intake,  Q-jet, Saginaw wide ratio 4 speed and 3.08.

She was a screamer.

Oh, yeah.

The tag survived that past 35 years to go forth as the harbinger of the little albino rhino.

Hope in another month...
