new 'real' ad.
I have bought another car ,so , need the space.
My car is a red 400 'cloned', convertible automatic...was born midnight green 350, a few owners ago it became red, owner before me installed a re built 72 400 , I added a set of 5 C heads that were milled to get a CR 9.2 +_ has a Holley 650, 2.56 rear end...car runs good, looks good, has a small rip (less than 2 inches) in top abv passenger seat, but I never have top up, so I havent bothered to replace it.......small crack in the deluxe door panel from my elbow. Chromed hood scoops (400 hood is from an old Comanche bird)
has Buick rims but w PMD ctr caps , BFG 235s, Classic Wooden steering wheel, and after mkt AM/FM cassette radio, dash was cut before my ownership, black deluxe interior , I think engine has +-35k since the rebuild, small drips from engine and tranny...always did even after reworking both twice......pictures on request...I`d drive this car anywhere...3 yrs ago we drove from Houston to Estes Park , 2 years ago to Cruising the Coast in Mississippi from Houston...it has classic registration with YOM 69 Tx plates. I`m thinking $22,000,have over $30,000 in it.contact me via email (here on site) or 832-309-0863
I will try another Craigslist again , and after a week or so (would like to sell it locally, to keep it in the HALF flock), I will EBay it

had three bidders,....then i called my shop (who has worked on this car for years) to ask if they would work on my ALFA when it comes in....no they wouldnt , because they dont have the tools, but when shop owner found out I was selling it ,he called me back and offered my reserve for cash deal...., so I closed the auction....I deliver it tomorrow....good to know it goes to good hands , as he knows the car...and also who is better at deciding if the car is good , as he is the guy who has done the most work on it

Congrats Bjorn! Maybe with it so close by you can buy it back in a couple of years when you get tired of the Alfa!  I'm glad things worked out for you!

Gina, the Italian girl, doesnt get a snowplow, as she`s designed differently...front end doesnt tend to lift at higher speeds as these do......

LOL...you guys....you mean you have to buy a whole Buick to have those weels? Son of gun, I could have just put them on my Firebird? Actually, the Buick GS was purchased because for years the family car was a red Buick Skylark Custom. I figured that was a better route to go than trying to find a Plymouth Volare wagon.

Actually you selling your 'bird makes me feel much better about possibly trading mine for a '70 Chevelle SS. Still may or may not happen but it's one heck of a nice looking and running car.
