My daily driver was a 1991 lesabre. Trans went out and this popped up on the local craigslist.

This thing is a time machine! Only aftermarket item is a realistic brand cassette player. Even has the original owners manual!

It's a 1973 d100 318/727 combo.

I put on a spare bumper I had laying around.

Got this thing on Saturday 9/20. Wasn't running needed oil change, carb, fuel pump, battery etc.

So Saturday afternoon I pulled the original carb and put on one from my 72. Put a good used fuel pump on (temporarily. It started leaking haha. Had to put a new one on anyway) and do an oil change.

She fired right up! But Sunday the needle stuck open and flooded the carb. After a quick tear down and cleaning, we were back in action.

Did I mention she has a rebuilt motor (receipt from 2011)

Has all receipts from 1973-present.

Only had half of Sunday to go through her and make her decent.

Vacuumed the interior. Did a quick wet wipedown because I still had stuff to do to get ready for work.

Nice truck! But you really need to work on setting up those pics! My neck got a crick in it trying to see them up right.

Thanks

I kinda liked the Buick in a weird way. I can't explain it lol. It still drove up until the day it was hauled to pick a part

So far this truck has been good. Drive to work yesterday, drove to the store last night. Besides a weird shift it's good. Trans filter/fluid change is in order this coming weekend.
