I think I bought a '70 Buick Estate wagon

That is a gorgeous wagon, Professor! Great find. Definitely a keeper.

 

Beautiful Buick!! My Vista Cruiser has a couple love scrapes down the side, I'm going to try and pull out my door dent but gunna leave the rest well enough alone.

Again, congrats on a such a nice car!!

 

Just out of curiosity, Professor, whereabouts in California did it come from, and had the seller owned it for a while?

He lives in or around Newport Beach I believe.

 

Wow Prof, congratulations. That looks like one sweet Buick. That factory 8 track is so cool. Looks like it's very loaded.
Best of luck with it.

 

Do you remember this car, KK?

NICE, Prof!

 

Looks good!

 

I you get a good tin bash'n body man (old school IMO) alot could be done with that dent and not have the wood damaged more. Reality is the dent is on a b**** of a spot due to the wheel well. Even popped out fron inside and or under that metal is streached and will allways have "the look"

I was hit and run on my passenger side, I was able to pop the big dent out and save the wood, but being the metal was streached the only way to make it flat.... get rid of the wood, bit more tin bash'n, some heat, some mud.....

Even with the dent, I would try to see what could be done even if you will still see some of the damage, IMO your wagon is......where the hell are you/we gona see a origonal like that ever again?

 

I'm wondering if it's that same wagon I was going to look at for someone here, way back in '08 I believe. The seller lived around the Tustin area of Orange County, IIRC. MY look-see didn't happen because I believe the seller was just 'testing the waters' on CL.

If it's the same wagon, that quarter panel damage is new.

 

That was me that was looking hard at it. You were going to look at it for me. Pretty sure it's the same wagon....same dents in the hood....same background in pix.
