Hey gang.
I've just purchased my first ever Buick (and I've owned a ton of different cars).
One owner, 84K miles, 350 2bbl, pretty just free and runs like a swiss watch.
Unfortunetly, it's a 4dr post.
It's kind of a cream color w/ a white top. I realize there's no sense putting a lot of the money in to a 4dr but I would like to juice it up a bit.
It has a brown vinyl interior, which was perfect until a mouse chewed a 3 inch hole in the lower part of the back seat.
It has the sport wheels, that need some attention, although I'm considering either alum slots or old Z28 Rallye wheels (I've already got both).
I'll probably dress up the engine a bit with some chrome goodies.
So, any help as to what to do with the this gem, I'm open to suggestions.
I DO have a limted budget so no sense talking about 455s or anything pricey.
Don't be afraid to hurt my feelings, I'm a big boy. :wink:
