Caprice engine swap?

Black (i think) LT1 with TOW PACK!! $1500 with 122k..... That might be worth looking at.

Looks pretty good, although is that rust behind the rear wheel in one of the pics?

If I needed a car like right now, locally, this one would be pretty tempting. It's a driver and maybe I wouldn't feel bad about driving it in snow. That's something. That would take the pressure off of buying the exact best/cleanest one. And it's 2.93 so it won't totally suck. It's not a Limited though.

This car is a perfect example of why I see no point to that 92, even though it's cleaner and has half the miles. It's a 20 year old car. It's not like it's more reliable with 60k than it is with 120k.

I reached out. We'll see.

Also, I am annoyed that Search Tempest can't find this car. No matter how I search for it. Which is why I missed it.

Extra strange because a Bing search of "Buick Roadmaster site:providence.craigslist.org" pulls it up in the very first result. Of course I think Search Tempest uses Google...

Slight price drop on this one - down to $4300 from $4800. Still out of range, but I will keep an eye on it for you.

That thing is sweet though I prefer the M-parallel wheels.

I still get a kick out of the brag of $20k in service records, but the claim that it needs absolutely nothing. What WILL it need?

That 96 RMS is still for sale. $1500 asking means a pretty good deal...if I need a car.

This one only has $20,000 of receipts. Does that mean its due for a $5k repair?

[kevm14]

I think that is the same car. The next ad will be for $4100 "have all receipts."

Called the Woonsocket guy. Someone is supposed to come look at it this afternoon, so he said he'd give me a call if he doesn't (or doesn't buy). Great. Now he can put pressure on that guy. I think I can plan on it being gone. Fuck you Search Tempest. Should add local searches to my repertoire.

Why wouldn't you just use the search on the website itself?

[kevm14]

Because I'm not looking for a Toyota Camry within a 50 mile radius (easy). I'm looking for a clean and cheap and interesting 20 year old car which suffered cash for clunkers (hard).

I don't know how I missed this before. That is a Protection.
