I find somewhat decent vehicles from time to time. The downside is that getting it back east if family friends want it will be a bit of a PITA.Six Volt wrote:Nice score!
The other one was a quick phone post. I added a bunch of photos and then decided on a new title. I need to track down a driver side running board from somebody out here.Mike Kever Kombi wrote:I like the new thread title.

Probably sometime next week I'll go pick this up.
I've been troubleshooting my airride suspension so I can bring it to Omaha. After replacing both bags and the compressor the rear end isn't dragging every once in awhile due to a bad check valve in the pump and a pinhole in the bag. Holy crap those parts are expensive.
Sooooo now a bump shouldn't cause a towbar or trailer to pop off the ball.

I've always wanted to own a SB. Especially an early one with a flat windshield. But there are too many earlier models I want to enjoy In my limited life span before I can acquire one.

Don has a 71 convertible, but I don't remember if it's a Super or not. You could ask him to drive it and cross a 'vert and an autostick off your list 
The guy who has it has put a new fuel pump on it now and adjusted the brakes. He said he also put a new master on it after I test drove it, so we will see when I go get it. He did promise me it would be perfect to drive home, but I'm not chancing it.
He and his son had a pair of Chevelles in their shop. What I would've had if they weren't so pricey. Instead I have fun friends and 8 VWs.
Picking it up on the 11th since I found a towbar, magnetic lights, and fixed my suspension.

Is something wrong with the Buick that you had to push it with the bug ?

Dang GM engineering. The airbag rear suspension needed a boost to keep going down the road. I think that when I went to use the rest stop they were trying to make a hybrid...
