Couldn't help myself. That paint job was worth more than the price of the car. It's down in Orlando and this guy is moving to open a new tattoo shop in california. needs the car moved by the 16th. my shipper can't get there that fast i don't think. Anybody in Orlanda area that could hang on to it for a couple days for me if I need that? Thanks. Scoob
I thought it would be rude of me not to buy a car with a running 390 4V, that shifts, clean ***le, good interior, and new flake paint for $2000. All the trim is in the trunk. I agree it needs to be dropped and get better wheels and tires.
I'm sure either Nads or Draglinkscc could do it. If not, I am in Daytona and could park it here for a few...
I'm in Orlando. I can hold on to the car but it may have to sit in my driveway if that's OK. Actually this might be a good excuse for me to clean my garage...LOL. Email me at ronayne@adelphia.net if I can help. Jim
WOW man congrats on the score scoob. Man that thing is in dying need of fur on the dash and some dingle balls. Later. Drew
Cool. Thanks for the help fellas! I think I'm loadin up the family and comin down this weekend though. They wanna go to Disney now! This car is gonna get a lot more expensive for me now isn't it???
ha ha ha...looks like you got succkered! I got ****ered too, I'm down here working, and I got talked into flying the fam down for Disney for my 10y.o.'s birthday this month. lets see 5 Disney tickets @ 65.00 ea, 5.00 bottles of water, 15.00 hamburgers, damn, I'm in deep!!
Drive down and get it man! thats what I did when I bought my bird from Orlando. Make sure you hit the Don Garlits museum in Ocala on the way down. Them orlando boys are cool!
Where does this leave the wagon? Dammit, quit buying stuff! Focus! I guess that doesn't mean much coming from me, but it's easier to tell someone else than actually do it.
Ouch...sounds like the Bahamas. Where is everyone getting the Astro Supreme wheels? I can't seem to find them anywhere?
allied wheel company makes the good ones. search out their website and you can find your local dealer on their dealer locator online. th US Wheel version is cheap don't bother. their not that much cheaper price wise and the quality ****s. i got mine for the buick from imperial wheels co way back. he is the one who had allied start making them again as he bought the rights and the original dies from the family of the guy wo originally did 'em. know of any buick skylark wires or tru spokes in good conditon? if so maybe we could trade off. my wheels are about 5 years old but have only been driven around 3000 miles due to the trans taking a dump the day we put the supremes on and the nailhead dieing for the last coupla years. the nailheads heading for the machine shop as soon as i can get time to pull it and the rebirth begins. interested let me know. can't really sell 'em outrite because i trashed all the leaky rusty stock wheels when i had to condense for the move to the western side of the state...ken....
that trip ****ed. got the car though. it was as nice as described. Pictures don't do the flake any justice. It's killer in the sun. Got lots of thumbs up on the way home. Hoping to get new wheels and tires on it this week and might swap motors for a rebuilt 390 I've got. Gotta fix that damn window too.
