BADASS of New England
An automobile club for the enthusiast who enjoys the last of the big GM cars. The rear wheel drive B and D bodys. Chevrolet Impala SS, Caprice, 9C1, Buick Roadmaster, Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, Cadillac Fleetwood
Might be a good driver if it indeed only needs what's mentioned, but the fact it's parked on dirt in a dank area (even that car tent looks like it's prob. wet inside), we all know what needing new brake and trans. lines means...
For the record, I LIKE this car.

For a second I thought it WAS Dave's house.
Also... wasn't Brad selling a red Trofeo a long time ago?

I like that car, the hidden headlights are just plain cool. I wonder of this one has the touch screen controls like my Reatta has. The olds version was supposedly color compared to the green one in the Reatta.

Planking? Really? Moran.
And shoot, I'd scoop that Cappy up, but I'd only pay maybe a third of the asking price.

That two door has been online for about a year now. They updated the pictures twice....and didn't wash it what-so-ever
I talked to a boxy enthusiast who looked at it and he said it was a 1500 dollar car. I'd pay a grand and drive it if I was needing another B-Body.

Yeah, that thing was definitely not put away right. I do like it, and might pay slightly more than Crovo even, but only if it were cleaned up and running. Who knows how long that has sat, and I bet it was literally on a dirt barn floor. It almost looks like road salt bleeding through the rot holes in the rockers. The hood has a big oil stain from something leaking onto the car too. I'm sure the door skins are gone behind the rocker trim from the bubbling that you can see in the pictures.
I like that old Cochituate Motors dealer emblem on the trunk.

He thinks by saying its one owner adds 1700 to the price.

'96 Roadie. Says high miles, but it looks like it still has quarters. Might not be a bad car for the price
Then again, if it had a hot tub in the back I'd be all over it.
I can just see myself pulling thru a tight spot......a little to fast.....& stopping dead

^^^^ That's cool. A guy I went to high school with had a blue and white Shelby Charger the body styke before that. It was quick!
I love that car. Not really something I'd jump up and say I'm looking for, but look at the miles and how clean it is. I wish I had some money, I'd go take a look...It's kind of a figment of my childhood, ya know?
Haha, dude my dad had one of the Omnis that the Shelby Charger was based on, he bought it brand new, it was a 1981 model "Omni 024". The Daytonas were derived from the K-car, believe it or not...and the Omni coupe/Shelby charger shared the dash/underpinnings/superstructure with the 4 door Omni...they even shared some ancestry with the VW Rabbit! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Charger_%28L-body%29
The car needed brakes one year, so instead of fixing it, my dad parked it next to the garage with about 50K miles on it, and started driving his newish Bronco XLT full time. It sat there until 1994 or so, when my father junked it. Shows you how his mind works.
A childhood memory of mine was walking in the woods behind the Dunkin Donuts on Route 1 South in Peabody, near the Cabaret and the jughandle, with my dad. We were on some walking path killing time and stumbled upon a totally burnt Shelby Charger filled and surrounded with hundreds of red Solo keg cups...it still had the big aluminum wheels like the Omni GLH had but the rest was torched and rusted out...

Im assuming with the "350 engine" someone ripped out the diesel.
Probably a damn near rust free car. lol
Idunno that thing looks like it's been sitting sunk in the grass (with a bad engine I bet) for a while. AFA your previous post goes, I want it, I just can't swing the storage and the 500 on another project while I'm in the midst of a HUGE one. Can't have 'em all!

'95 Roadmaster Limited sedan. 66k miles DCM on grey cloth. $975. Says it needs a cat and has rusty quarters. In Columbia CT
I feel like this car was on CL recently someplace else because of that MacMulkin sticker on the trunk and the high mileage. Was it that one that had baby moons on it you think?

3600 for 200K miles....
For some reason I don't see him getting the asking price.

Looks like it took a decent hit in the passenger side rear, too.

My friend robbie had the dodge daytona version of that, put 4 ice racing tires on it, and we used it on the ice. Never been so scared in my life, 4 fat guys in a Dodge. He drove that thing everywhere till the rearend fell out. lol

Someone needs to look at that, I've been dying to find out what the deal is out of curiosity, lol.
I like those hubcaps that came on them, don't see them too often.

On that link it's still saying $1000, I'm guessing someone may have talked to someone.
Boy, if I ever brought home another one, my new address would be at the homeless shelter.
