You wouldn't want to gamble on free points by choosing a 70's German Diesel?

This would be awesome, but will probably go for more than the current $2500.

I wonder how cheap they'd let this go for?

Does anyone have experience working on such a platform? Maybe convert it to biodiesel before/after/during(?) the event.

Adam has an ulterior motive for that one...

Also...does my Roadmaster, Ed's Roadmaster or Adam's Fleetwood apply or do we have to buy some junk to participate (as opposed to have some junk, zing)?

Mine even has marginal paint to make it look more terrible. Whatever that's worth.

It would need some maintenance in order to make the ~1200 mil journey:
- Fix leaking trans cooler line (found my Caprice spare part)
- Fix leaking pinion seal
- Change diff fluid
- Change trans fluid
- Oil change?

Stuff that would make the journey more comfortable:
- Fix the A/C (all the 'ice cold' leaked out)
- Fix the RR power window (so it goes down/up)
- Camshaft upgrade?

2 Buick Roadmasters (Two cars for $750) - $750 (Liberty, SC)

1993 Buick Roadmaster
fuel: gas
title status: clean
transmission: other
1 - 1993 Buick Roadmaster (Dark Blue) that runs, rides and drives well. 5.7L engine runs great. 171K miles. Had aftermarket vinyl top that caused some rust on roof. I still have the fiberglass top, it could be recovered and put back on the car. The older gentleman that owned car before me took good care mechanically of the car but was kinda rough on the body. Bought car for mom she can no longer use.
1 - 1995 Buick Roadmaster (Light Blue), no engine or trans. Body is in good shape car rolls. Car was purchase to use a donor to repair body on 1993.
I don't have time to work on project . Have titles I will add pictures or text upon request.

$750 or best offer (Two cars for $750).
Bam. That 93 is ripe for some LeMons road trips. It even has its roof partially removed and is otherwise equipped with the rare RPO LAP, LeMons Appearance Package. I mean, they both do, but the 93 actually runs and drives. For your convenience.

I came here for LeMons, not to fall in love!

In all seriousness, we already own a whole funeral procession of black b and d bodies. Mine is a daily right now because Saabs are stupid.
