Very nice looking car offered by http://www.streetdreamstexas.com/ They are asking $39,500 on their site.

I saw this car when it was for sale at Cardiff Classics in CA. They had it for about one year. The current owners bought it from them. When I talked with the people at Cardiff they pointed out it had a '66 401 motor plus all the other mod's like strato buckets, etc. I talked with the guys at Street Dreams a while back about this car. Nice folks, but they don't know Buicks. Then again, how many do ?

I saw it personal last october at cardiff. One nice car, but corrrect it is a ?66 motor, with a cam, headders and msd egnition, runs good and strong. I do think too that it has wrong armrests on, but not sure. At that time I offered cardiff $25 and he would sell it for $32 but went down to $28. It then had a bordeaux canvas top that was sittting much better than the current black vinyl top and actually by my opinion look nicer on the car. The car is super straight and done right, near perfect chrome and all. Cardiff had receipts that documented that the guy that build the car had spend over $35 to make it. But the price that the current owners want is way too high for a non match car, only my opinion :)

The auction was ended early since it is 'no longer available for sale'. Their website lists it as sale pending. I sure hope no  one paid anywhere near the asking price. Or maybe I should hope they did, that would mean values for our cars are on the way up.  8)

Especially since there are so many things incorrect.
