Re: Possible gem in my backyard...?

Looks like a '62 or '63. The only down-side is that it's a 4-door sedan instead of a hardtop. It's still a rare bird. It might have a 389 (most likely), or a 421 (rare). Probably a Buick Hydramatic auto trans too.

The sheet metal can be straightened and cleaned up. The tough parts are the trim pieces and die cast corners of the body. If those are intact the rest is just time. Since it's been sitting on the ground it would be good to check the frame rails closely. This used the perimeter frame and it's a lot easier to repair than the old X frame.

If you have the space, time, and budget, it might be worth the effort.
