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.

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.
