Title: ‘Long’ roof on eBay
Post by: dsags on April 20, 2018, 11:15:23 PM

Use the quote marks because it’s a wagon but not that long.

Dear Dan and mid-60s Buick "long-roof" fans,

Thanks for posting.  It is definitely very interesting.  Alas, it just rubs me the wrong way that somebody would put so much effort into the exterior and interior of a car, but not even touch the engine bay.  Presumably that was on the "to-do" list and something got in the way.  It certainly would be an interest purchase for someone who was in a good position to do the mechanical restoration.  The difficult question is how much all that custom paint work is worth.  There is still a lot of work (and possibly money) that has to be spent to really make the car fully road worthy.

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Thought it was too cute. Underhood needs a lot of detailing. Seller is asking $12,000 on Craigslist.
