    This looks like the same car that was on craigslist in OH or MI for $9-$9500. These guys are sure looking to make a profit.

    Say what ?!?!?!

    Take that 23,500--- and take the 2 off of it--- then you've got a realistic price. Want to be generous offer twice that 3,500. Pay that asking price and be lookin' a fool... It IS a nice wagon, don't get me wrong. It's only a 360, not a Hemi or a four on the floor. though.

    First off, yes, the condition is incredible. If there is a collector out there who wants unrestored original cars, this is one for that collection. However, there are some things to consider. First, there is no air conditioning. There are very few, if any options, on this car. The power rear window was standard on the Custom, as this seems to be trimmed equivalent to a Fury III sedan, so it does have some upscale equipment. It is, however, NOT a Sport Suburban, which had a nicer interior as well as the wood grain. At least it does have the optional 360 instead of the base 318. Better, though, if it had the 440 4 bbl.

    My guess is that this car is priced about double whet it should be. The condition and mileage do justify a high price for the car, but certainly not that high. This is higher than the much more desirable loaded, equally original Buick Estate Wagon we say. At least that one did have all the nice options, including a nicer interior. $10,000 to 12,000 is where I would put the value on this beauty.

    If it was a loaded Chrysler Town & Country in that condition the price would still be a bit high.......

    My restored '71 Vista Cruiser didn't even sell for that much, and that's no Vista Cruiser. My car had ice cold air and power everything and it sold for 6k less. If it had been a three-seater with the 455 it may have gone for around 20k I'd guess.
    I wouldn't pay over ten grand for that car.

    It is a beautiful and stunning car... too bad it does not have A/C. I would rather have optional A/C than the optional "high-back" bucket seats. I have never been a fan of those.

    Not gonna happen! It's not a muscle car mopar so it may as well be on the island of misfit toys. It is a beautiful ride tho and the odometer LINES UP as it should and also it is a PA car and milage can be documented thru the state inspection.

    Paint on the engine looks too bright for me.
