    I always Liked these a bit better than the Olds Cutlas. This Looks like a nice example and not to steeply priced if the condition is as stated. It is a pretty base model. Odd Fire 231 V-6. Manual Window's, seats, and Locks. The ad says its a manual transmission, but I only see 2 pedals, and an automatic gear selector on the column. Other than ralley wheel and the under dash tissue dispenser I don't see any other options? Not even a passenger side mirror.

    Other than the missing ralley wheel center caps, and rear bumper filler it does look to be a 30,000 mi surviver. Heck it even has the original Michigan 1976 Bicentenial Plate on the front!

    This was one model / year where i thought the base model had the better-looking front end.
    Judge for yourself....

    The Special was done so Buick could have a slightly slipperier car in NASCAR. It's got the Chevy Laguna fastback roof too. A friend of my mom's had one of these. Light metallic blue V6, with a white vinyl interior.

    Those 73-77 A and G bodies get confusing A Bodies, Chevelle/Malibu, Cutlass, Lemans, Grand Am, Century, Special. G-Bodies Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Cutlass Supreme, Regal. They kept the different chassis until around 82 when they were know as A/G Bodies, then just G Bodies
