I Bought Another Car!!! Ahh

LOL.... well it kinda ended up like this.... I actually didnt buy another car, my dad bought another car though, he just bought a 1965 Buick Rivera GS, perfect condition (as the pics show) 440 wild cat engine (i believe its 440)... something like 350hp/400ft. lb.... WEEEEEE! 5400 bucks!

these are current pics from the person we are buying it from:










I think excessive car buying runs in the family... but im not sure

Considering that this is an antique, then your dad actually paid good money for it. I can only imagine how quickly that thing can haul *** in a straight line, with heavy emphasis on a straight line though.

That car is in beautiful shape. $5400 is a very good price for this car. You don't see too many of those now adays, especially those in that good of a condition.

Mint or restored? How many miles?

Mint! original paint that if flawless, it has 84,000 miles on it, the only real problems with the car period are the interior carpet has a rip, and it needs floor mats, and the A/C doesnt currently work

but otherwise it is perfect! and you can gaurantee my dad will put some money in that and make it nicer!

It would probably be MUCH cheaper to ship. I've heard ebay car shipping quotes for like $500... You'd spend that easily in gas for that hog!

Yea, I'd probably want to die driving that far.... Unless I had a corvette or like an SUV with a dvd player and stuff, hahaha....

same here, it looks like my dad is gonna fly out and deliver the check, and look over the car, and then have it shipped here.... 1300 bucks to ship it, fully covered and such but thats what it sounds like he wants to do, and will be easier for us anyways... and gives him a good vacation too.
