Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Equipped with a 401 cubic inch V8 engine rated at 325 hp and a Dynaflow automatic transmission. The engine and transmission run smoothly.
(After our visit and test drive, the owner discovered a small water leak from the water pump. It’s not major, but we want to highlight that the buyer should check this. We don’t know if it will be sufficient to replace the gasket or if the pump needs replacing.)
Other features include an electric convertible top, power windows, 6-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, power steering, and power brakes. It is equipped with a modern alternator that looks like the original generator. In 2021, air bags/air suspension were installed, allowing the height of the car to be adjusted individually at the front and rear with a remote control. -
Interior condition
Very nice and well-maintained interior. There is a small mark on the driver’s seat cushion, like a nick about 5-7 mm in size. Color-matched floor mats with the Buick logo protect the carpet. The special Sonomatic car radio has been converted with Bluetooth and an auxiliary input, and along with better speakers in the original location, it sounds surprisingly good.
The charging gauge is disconnected as it does not work with a modern alternator. The fuel gauge has uncertain functionality. The power to the driver’s seat adjustment is not connected. There is a loose connection in a window switch. A newly made trunk lining in the original appearance is included but needs to be installed. See additional picture. -
Exterior condition
The paintwork, reportedly done in Sweden during the restoration after import in the mid-2000s, is in good condition. The red canvas soft top is still in as fine a condition as it was at the time of the restoration. The chrome and trim are nicely polished. There are pores in the chrome by the vent windows and worn chrome at the bottom edge of the front bumper. Chrome vent window frames are included for replacement, as shown in the picture. Newly made authentic wire wheels are installed, and the original wheels with hubcaps are included separately.

General condition
A delightful and sought-after “Top of the line” model. Nicely restored car that runs well and looks great. There are a few minor issues, including a small damage on the driver’s seat cushion and a report of a leaking water pump that was received just before publication.

Auction information
General information about the condition of the vehicles .
- At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
- During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
