I love those old 50's Buicks.

That car is prime for a chop and refit.Although this isn't a Buick, its a Ford wagon with a chop close back windows and a Corvette front end mated. Still looks tight and shows the potential for that Bui you picked up.

No chopping. I like my cars looking stock.

I went to Barrett-Jackson a couple of years ago, right before the auction started to look at the cars. Saw the third Corvette ever made (1953 Vin # ends 003) and a fully restored GM "Futureliner" transport. I have a Great-Uncle who works at the auction every year.The Buick looks like a good project car.

It's going to be a nice ride,it does look like a lot of work.Projects are always fun,and expensive.Post some pics during the process.

Now we just have too many to pick. Which car do I put money into? '69 Datsun, '70 Suburban, '70 Blazer, '54 Buick, or the Vibe?

Hmmm. Why does the "Ford" wagon look like a '58 Chevy? And I don't believe any Corvette ever had a grill like that.

I say sell the burb.. and the blazer and put the money in to the Datsun (as long as it's a 240) if its anything else... sell that too... and then split the rest between the buick and the vibe.

Both of them have too much $$ in and are almost done.The Datsun? Sorry not a 240. It is a 510.
