    Great shape for sure!

    maybe KK could confirm this with his info on car brochures but I thought all 87's had dark wood, not the lite wood?

    87's from the net.....

    I dunno?.......

    Tedy, does yours have LeSabre or Electra trim?

    The brochure site I go to doesn't have anything on the '87 wagons.
    I seem to recall a discussion here a long time back regarding this issue. Could it be that the LeSabre's had light trim and the Electra's dark - at least for '87?

    I cannot solve the wood grain argument, but it does appear that dark wood grain was factory for the 1987 LeSabre wagon. Can't speak for the wagon currently for sale.

    Cause its not really a Buick, 80-81 was the last year you could get a real Buick engine.

    the cheby 350 in that thing is super under powered new, and has near 200k miles on it now.

    Poeple who pay up for Buick cars, want it to be all Buick.

    only reason I have mine, last year all Buick.

    Yes



    Cheby 350??? ad makes no mention of that. These things as of 1982 all had the Olds 307..... divide 307 Olds by 3 and you pretty much have the factory horsepower :rofl2:

    I'd rather have a Buick.

    I still like it. Where I'd be driving it that's plenty of engine on flat ground and two bags of groceries or some burgers-n-fries. ;)

    Yes, a Chevy 350 would have much more power than that 307. I love that divide by 3 comment! :rofl2:
