Picked this up online from a Buick dealer in Boyertown, PA. One owner, 75K documented miles, clean as a pin but needed rear end work so they were wholesaling it. Took a gamble, it was a good buy because it had what they described as a "bad roar" from the rear end, was only pinion bearings. An older guy had it, there were lights mounted all the way across the bottom of the back bumper. the lights on the front have now been removed but I kept the visor. It's got the 5.8, quad shocks, heavy cooling, 3.55 limited slip (ring and pinion were perfect), working ac, inside spare, and everything else but leather. Replaced the shocks and mounted a new set of Falken Wildpeaks. I really like these tires! Only rust is the tubular supports for the steps, I've got a new set just haven't put them on yet. Took a clay bar to it, buffed it with a good pad, and gave it a coat of Mequire's NXT. I'm happy!

I haven't cleaned the interior yet, you can see grease on the door panel from me working on it, going to tackle that this weekend.

Yes it's missing wiper arms, took them off and painted.
