    I traded a Harley Super Glide for this car back in March. It was painted from the doors back, but all of the interior and trim came in boxes and in the trunk. I busted my ass over the summer to get it together. Had a local paint shop squirt the color on the front end after it was hung and had a trimmer redo the seats in leather...but all of the other work was done at home with some help from friends. Just lowered by 2 inches with some paint treatments to take bulk out of all of the chrome and a bitchin set of wheels!!

    I'll post some pics as soon as I find my missing "security token"......

    Is the shift pattern for the Transmission (Reverse located under Low) ?

    If it is, what Transmission is it?

    Thanks in advance. :D

    Yeah...reverse is all the way at the bottom of the pattern. I don't know what Buick called it, but My Olds had the same pattern (till I put in the 5 spd).....Olds slang was a Slim Jim...never liked it!! This one seems to shift well, so I don't plan on doing anything with it now!! Hopefully the car will be sold soon and I won't have to worry about it. I tend to not leave shit alone...don't want to get buried in it!!
