Should I buy a 1930 Buick - opinions?

[Sam_Fear]

A guy at work called me yesterday and asked me if I was interested in a Buick he bought a couple years ago. $1,500. Said he had a Mustang II installed on the original frame that had been boxed previously. I haven't seen it yet, but I think it's a mostly complete car minus drive train.

The wife gave me a 'whatever' when I asked her about buying it, so that obviously means 'yes honey, I really think you need to buy it.'

So do you guys think I should try to buy it? I'd have to store it at my Dads until next winter.

Should you buy a '30 Buick for $1500.......the answer is yes....you did not get me anything for Christmas last year and i will graciously accept the Buick in your effort to make amends

[Snake Farm]

YES, buy the car already! Now what do I get for the 'Blue Tux' episode .........oh that's right, I just got this didn't I

.......and at a pretty darn good price I might add [ddd

 

[TiredIronGRB]

Check it out good as the Buicks have a lot of wood in them and if iy's a "Master" it's a huge car.

Sorry fellas. Must be that short-term memory thing. I'm gonna have to keep notes or somethin'. [S



SF1 - Sam Fear. Yes, buy the car!

SF2 - Snake Farm. The Chevy matches the tux.

Sam, obviously don't know squat about "Woman code" talk. But your right, you should get the car, that way the little missus will discuss what was really said. You will then have the car, and an education. Sounds like a win-win situation to me!!

 

[cosmic12]

OK, its been 2 days and you don't have pics of it up yet as it should be in your drive way by now

Why ask the wife? Just do what I did last Friday and show up at home with a new boat.

When the wife asked what I was doing with it I told her that we were going for a boat ride in the morning.

She said I better not have bought that thing.

Next morning went out for the boat ride with the wife.

She then said, "we may need to think about keeping this"

So go get that car and if you can't give her a ride in it just tell her you will fix it for her.

Get it. My next door neighbor has a 37 with suicide doors he is doing a hotrod build on. He has the original straight 8 (runs)/trans/rear for sale. Only issue is that there is a few zip codes between us... but nice cars. [cl

 

[earthman]

So what is the story?

 

[Gastrick]

I did some work on a 29 Buick sedan for a fellow a while back. It was a LARGE automobile but it was really neat.

 

[Sam_Fear]

The guy is undecided what he wants to do. He had to sell his unfinished '56 Chevy a while back to save his house. Now he has a possible line on a '57. I told him 'no hurry' since I'd have to store it until next year anyhow.

BTW, Earthman, if I got the Buick, I wouldn't have time to section the Olds.
