  1. This is the place to BRAG about your BUICK.

    This is the place to let the world know you are in need of a specific part to restore your BUICK.

    Come on… let’s talk about YOUR BUICK!

    • I am hoping to start restoring my 1970 Buick Gran Sport. I have had it since I was 19, over 25 years.It is completely stripped down with both quarter panles replaced. It has been sitting like this for over 5 years, in a garage. I figured I should start with getting the motor rebuilt first. It’s also completely apart. I was told I need to have it rebiult by someone that knows “Buick small blocks” not just any one who knows GM small blocks. Is this true and where should I start looking? I would like to shop around and get several references of each places abilities. Thanks for any insight.

  2. I am a recent owner of a 1982 LaSabre Limited. And although I am not a club member as of yet, I am researching for clubs and parts for my vehicle. If someone could tell me the yearly membership of your club, and possibly give me some leads to parts vendors for my ride I’d appreciate it.

    • Good day to you Mr. Polacek, Sally Getz here, Director of the “Free Spirit” Chapter, BCA. Glad to hear of your recent purchase of a BUICK!

  3. I no longer own a 63 Skylark but still have a few parts which I accumulated. I would be happy to give them FREE to anyone who can use them. I live in Virginia outside of DC. Here is a list of items. Most of these will fit a 61-63 Special as well as an Olds F85.
    2 speed automatic tranny, 4bbl carb, generator, fuel pump, starter, valve cover (only 1), exhaust manifold (only 1), motor mounts (3).
    If no takers, they are going to the dump so please help me find a good home for them.

  4. I have a 1986 Buick GN for sale with 21,056 miles on it. My father bought it in 1996 with 16,880 miles on it. It stayed stored in his climate controlled large until 2005. It is all stock and I want to sell it to someone who will keep it that way. I just replaced the bumper fillers and bumper rib strips as they had dry rotted. It still has the “Property of GM” sticker in the driver’s side quarter window

  5. Not a club member, yet! I have a 1950 Super that belonged to my great grandfather. I had it restored (paint/tires) in the mid 1980’s, and new tires and wheels 10 years ago. It’s time to work on the upholstery and a few engine parts again. I was living in the Midwest, and have few contacts here in PA. The car has under 50K original miles and it’s registered in PA as an antique. Suggestions for parts and paint? Re-chroming? Upholstery? Thanks for any and all tips offered.

  6. Hello group,
    I have a 1964 Wildcat with the 401/445 motor. The car has 68,000 original miles but developed a hard knock so I’m getting the motor rebuilt. I want to put dual exhaust on while the motor is getting rebuilt. I’m looking for information on where I can find exhaust kits if they exist. Thank you very much for the help!

  7. I own a 1976 Buick Century Free Spirit, I purchased the car 4 years ago from the original owner. The original owner purchased the car in 1976 for his wife and the car has never been winter driven. The Husband owned a gm dealership and therefore each year the car was serviced and stored for the winter months. The car has 54000 miles and is in excellent condition with all the typical free spirit options, Targa Roof, Hurst Hatch, Aircraft Shifter, power windows ,Air. beautiful car. A joy to drive, spacious and a looker. These car are very rare and to find one unrestored is a challenge. If anyone out there has a 1976 Buick Free Spirit I would like to connect with you via email and we can share pics and comments

    • I also have a 76 Buick Free Spirit. I am the original owner. Don’t take it out much, I think it has about 84K on it. I used to drive it much more in it’s early years. It’s not an exact duplicate because for som reason I ordered ta bench seat instead of bucket seats.

      • Hello Michael, I read your post from 2019 that you had a 76 pace car, I remember when I was 14 my mother bought one and I thought it was the coolest car ever and been looking for one for the last 44 years and the couple I did find were beyond repair. I also have a 75 Buick pace car that the owner had for 41 years I hoping to have the set someday so if you feel that you would like to sell the car please consider me thank you for your time 716 998-3659 Richard

  9. HI my name is George and I have a 1988 Buick Regal. The sad thing is I must let it go. The car needs work and I can’t afford to do it. It has a new alternator and a 3 year old battery. If anyone is interested in restoring let me know. I am in cape may but from NE Philly.

  10. Hello,

    I found your website and found it very interesting. I am a big fan of Buick’s and have two classic Buick cars. ( 1971 Buick LeSabre Custom convertible and a 1987 Buick Grand National ) I am interested in the 1975 and/or 1976 Buick Free Spirit models. I was hoping you may be able to let me know if you ever hear or know if any that may be for sale.

    Thank You!

  11. Hi All, I am a BCA club member and I am the proud owner of two 1970 GS 455’s his and hers. I have owned both vehicles since the early 90’s One is restored and the other, the 4 speed car is an older restoration and I would like to start restoring her back to or as close to original as possible. It was originally a Harvest gold with Black Vinyl top, with A/C, PS, and manual brakes. I would like to upgrade to power brakes and have the booster for safety reasons. I would like to have both vehicles verified as original and I believe the bench seat 4 speed car is pretty rare as I understand only 510 base GS 455 models came with a 4 speed in 1970. It is an early 70 and has the pointed lens caps over the gauges (both are actually). Can someone point me in the direction to have my vehicle(s) verified and registered in the national registry before I have the restoration started on the 4 speed car. It is currently painted with the GSX paint scheme but I would like to restore to a nice metallic Harvest Gold with Black Vinyl top. Any thoughts or help appreciated. I also saw the question about the engine rebuild and will also contact the same individual. Also if there is a renowned Buick restorer in the area of Emmaus or Macungie please advise. Thank you and I will look forward to your response. Respectfully, Barry
