Thank you all again…stay warm!

Thanks guys for the ideas. I was thinking getting a quartz replacement was the way to go, but just wasn’t sure.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I have my Wildcat scheduled to go to Vic’s on Monday to get the convertible top replaced. First time in a long time I have been wanting a brown Christmas…LOL As far as I am concerned, no snow is not a bad thing at all. Quicker we get to spring the better.

Great ideas guys, thank you so much. I also posted some pictures in my album for you to view at your leisure. Happy motoring!!

Transport for classic car…

Any of you have an opinion on a transport for a car from Colorado? The question in my mind isn’t necessarily who to use, there are a few choice, but who NOT to use?

Thanks for your opinions…

Here is an opportunity, I think…

Hey Everyone,

I just got off the phone with a gentleman from Colorado who is selling his 1970 Buick Wildcat Convertible, essentially all original or restored. It has the standard 455 engine, 3 speed automatic and so on. The convertible top is NOT the newer scissor action unit which makes it nicer to work on apparently. We talked for close to 40 minutes and it appears that the only thing I need to do is order up an inspection service and arrange for the transport.

Needless to say, I am over excited. I wish it was going into Spring and not Winter.

Can any of you think of anything I need to be aware of? I asked him what was wrong or needed attention to the car. He was really honest about several cosmetic things, but not show stoppers in my book…easy things to take care of.

Mechanically, it is an extremely sound car and works really well.

When I asked him why he was selling it, he said his wife prefers to drive the smaller Mustang Convertible and during the winter, they want room in the garage for their Suburau.

Anyhow, thanks for your thoughts and opinions.

Thanks guys for all of the replies, it is really appreciated. The hardest thing I am running into is trying to find the right car, within my budget and being able to say I love it. It feels that trying to locate a nice convertible is my first love.

My wife is supportive, but wants us to get a convertible if in fact we will be spending the money. the other problem is, a limited budget. I still feel we can get a good driver and slowly work on building the dream car. You know, drive train upgrades, paint and so on.

Anyhow, thanks again. If you know of someone who is wanting to sell a late 1960’s to early 1970’s GM convertible, I am seriously interested at the right price.

thanks!!

Mick
