GarageScout Take

Acquired by the seller in 1979, with its original September 30, 1966, Rank & Son Buick sales invoice and approximately 17,000 miles added under current ownership. The car was repainted black and its front bench seat was retrimmed in red vinyl in 1980, following fender rust and dent repairs. It has been sitting for about a year, runs hot with the warning light coming on and steam appearing after roughly 10 minutes, and the two-speed automatic is slow to engage from park to drive.

Strengths

  • Long-term ownership since 1979
  • Original sales documentation
  • 1980 interior and exterior work

Watch For

  • Running project after approximately one year of disuse
  • Runs hot, with warning light and steam after about 10 minutes
  • Transmission slow to engage from park to drive
  • Rust on frame and doors, cracked and faded paint, old tires with a leaking front-left tire, and a soft top not operated in several years
