    Hi cgutz ... yeah know what you mean about it's looks, I rarely see one on the road but always enjoy the fact that it's still lookin' good when I do. The guy I sold it to did something like this to it ..

    Same s**t brown as pictured, was already 11 years old and showing it. Fun little 4-banger, though.

    Oh hell my next door neighbor when I was a wee lad had two, one identical to that brown one, as well as a baby blue "fast"back with vinyl landau top. Back in the late 70's, as an impressionable youth, I actually thought they were pretty hot.

    78 Buick LeSabre, my dad said if I could get it running I could have it. After some adjustments to the carb, I was off and running! The biggest boat I ever owned.

    Started with a 2 door 1983 Buick lesabre, mile long and a 307 ci boat anchor under the hood. With the pedal on the floor you could literally watch the needle on the gas gauge go down as you went. Lots of room to pack friends in though. Then onto a 92 S-10, which met it's demise at a power pole. Picked up an 82 or 83 S-10 which I sold after it started leaving a quarter mile long blue haze behind it, which brought me to a free 80 f-150 2wd, 302, 3spd auto and a cross between calf scour and vomit brown complete with giant rust hole in passenger floor board. Then senior year before college I bought a 92 gmc 2500 4x4 which I rebuilt the small block in. That was a fun truck for what it was. Never scared to take it anywhere in any condition. It finally dies a few years ago when the current owner rolled it over a few times.

    I graduated from high school in 1986. My first car was a 1966 Chevelle convertible my father and I built (and he funded). We pulled the body off the frame and started from there. LS6 454 crate engine (eventually to have a nice roller cam), M20 4-speed, and a 3.31:1 posi. Ran a best of 12.01 with 10 inch slicks. Never got a ticket, never wrecked it, either.

    That truly means something.
    I had a friend who acquired a 1970's ish Camaro. Not sure what was in/ on it but that car would GRAB and GO when you stomped it!!! Sadly, within two weeks of owning it he wrapped it around a telephone pole - fortunately he wasn't hurt - car was done.
