bought for 3,600.00 Well i use to own a 1968 buick eletra 225 a real mans car big powerful, two tone paint gold and brown with a black ragtop with a 455 engine i bought it at a dealership in new hampshire, i enjoyed it for years and years but one day luck was not on the ride with me, no luck stayed home when i when to go to new hampshire to pick up a friend, it had snowed out a few days before and i did'nt drive it in the snow i did'nt want all that salt to get up into the frame so i waited a couple of days for the roads to dry. So off i went i headed down 95 north headed for rt 128 north, well it's easy to fine because you come to a fork in the road at what i call the end of 95 then you end up on 128 and 95 they share the same highway, well anyway you have to go around and around the exit on ramp to get onto 128, now what do you do when you come off an onramp onto a highway? i speed up to get going with the flow off trafic and thats what i did, speed up, WELL GUESS WHAT i saw brake lites way ahead of me, i thoughrt trafic was slowing because there was another on ramp on the right when you first get on 128, the one that i just came off of was on the left but the car was not slowing but infact was STOPPED and with good reason, a car came off the right on ramp and took a left heading into on comming trafic the car in front of me seen this happen, i did not......i got going to fast to slow down in time so i hit the BRAKES i started to slide on sand that was left over from the snowstorm i slid about what seemed like forever, no mater what i tryed pumping the brakes, i yanked on the e brake nothing worked, suddenly i knew that this was the end there was a guard rail to my left and trafic on my right, i had know where to go but straight to hell, i saw as i got closer and closer that it was a little 1976 old mustang, charlies angels model, i knew that when my great big gigantic buick electa hit this poor little wannabe car it was going to be ugly, finnaly CA- BASH I HIT THAT MUSTANG with such force that i sent it over the guard rail and down the imbankmeant about 400 feet, it was like slow motion at this point, i seen the back of the mustang just lift right off the ground and over the rail but not before smashing in the trunck all the way to the back seat, my car was demolished, the whole front end was faceing the sky smashed beyond reconishon, the doors buckled the windshild bent and broke in a 1000 places. When the dust kind of setteled i climed out the window and ran down to the mustang i just killed to see who i hit,Well i could'nt belive my eyes, i thought i was dreaming that i saw a baby in what was left of the back seat, the poor little girl was pushed all the way with her face inbetween the passanger head rest and the door post but she was OK,BUT MOM AND DAD WAS'NT DOING TO GOOD they where not wearing seatbelts and they both got pushed into the windshild and there was two matching smashes that looked like there face was just there a few seconds ago, well the ambulance came and took kim, bill and there baby to the hospital, i did'nt get hurt so i was still hanging around trying to get a tow truck and i finnaly went home BOY that really sucked. Bye the way everybody came out of that OK i stayed in touch.
NOW ABOUT THIS 66...I was driving to work one day and i was going past some factorys and there it was behind a fence, threre sitting in all it's glory a 1966 buick electra, such a rare car, you just don't see many anymore because they are all rusted and crushed, so i got out of my car and found the gate and i went in for a closer look, oh my god what a beautyful car, all the sudden the guy who own it came out and i asked him how much, he said, 6,000.00, i said to rich for my blood and off to work i went. I had to drive past that car every day for weeks, the guy was having trouble selling her for the price he wanted, mind you that car is worth 6000 all day and all nite, never the less thats alot of money. I could'nt help myself i just had to go to look at it again and when i did, the guy came out again and said, ohh it's you again, do you have the 6000 i said, no.Well some time went by weeks and weeks and again i felt compeled to go to it again so i did,again the guy came out and said,it's you again, you really like this car don't you i said, yes i do, i love it, then he caught me off guard and said, how much can you swing for it, i said i can maybe get 3,500.00 and he said, i know you will take care of this car OK you can have it,so i got every cent i could fine and ended up with 3,500.00 i had to use my rent money and a few bills did'nt get payed and i borrowed some money and off i went to buy a car that dreams are made of. THIS CAR is all original right down to the tires, no rust at all, no rips, no chips (NOTHING WRONG) it has a 445 wildcat motor, automatic, one wheel drive,drives like a dream.................thanks for checking out my stuff.........see ya ps i have a bad picture of my old 68
