11,000 Original Mile - Ultimate Survivor Car

I am the fourth owner of this beautiful Buick and can attest to the fact that it runs and drives better than any other classic car that has been in my collection. I am only considering selling to consolidate the number of vehicles I currently own.

PaintBody:

The car received a very high qualityprofessionalsingle stage repaint in thelate1980's. There are two paint flaws that are only noticeable a few inches away and I am happy to provide detailed pictures of them to serious potential buyers.
