Nice looking car. I always loved the G bodies, I use to own an 86 Olds 442.

Those are pretty rare, less than 2500 made I believe. I'd say it should sell between $15-20K even in these painful times, especially after Mike The Master has put the full whammy on it.

Why did they ever stray away from the sharp body lines?!?!?!?!?!?!? Vehicles look so much better with nice crisp, sharp and aggresive body lines...

I just googled up one for $29,500 but it had a great deal of upgrades including a $7,000 paint job......can't wait to see the progress on the one featured here.

Ah...the lesser-known cousin of the Grand National. I remember when there was a T-Type of every Buick model, that was when Lloyd Reuss was GM of Buick.

The problem with the model that has the Speedometer that only goes to 85 mph is that you never know how fast you're really going...  | |

If it's the original paint, GM lacquer, I'll be watching this closely, Mike. I learned a bunch from your published SS paint article, but I'm sure the master has a few more tricks you haven't shared yet.
