"Resurrection of another 1991 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon. This one was purchased from the junkyard with a knocking 305. I replaced that motor with a used TBI 350."

Avail info, and video seem to point in that direction!

Yes we have a positive ID, look at the woodgrain on the drivers front fender.

I wish I had another parking space......

The UberWagon, use to belong to Ray. He was an active forum member both here and on the old forum. He joined the forums shortly afer he bought this wagon before he did a tour of duty in Germany where the wagon earned it's nick name, lots of pictures of it with German plates. when he had to do a tour in Iraq his wife and kids moved back to florida. In december 2008 I got the pleasure to meet him while he was on leave, and we took advantage of that day to have a mini Uberfest in cocobeach were forum memebers who could took part, Flash gumby, Uber, myself, tailpipe arrived and helpped Uber rebuild his suspension and make him a set of home made wide whites. at the end of what was a great day, uber offered to show tailpipe and myself how to get back to I95 for our long drive back to Canada. just a few blocks from his home the Uberwagon stumbled, and the engine locked up tight. Tailpipe and Myself tried but the engine was locked tight wouldn't turn over , we waited with him until he got it towed.
It was a sad end to a car filled with history and memories for all of us.
The next day the engine cooled down did fire up but there was a bad knock. For reason of time/family/work Ray had to let it go. A few of us here tried to buy it from him with full intent on fixing it up and then return it to him, we even tried to get the TV show Overhauling to step up for Ray.

Ray still checks in here from time to time, he has the wagon bug. His dream would be a 92 OCC dark blue leather innerds, painted 2008 BMW blueblack metalic (a black with blue metal flakes) and OZ nova St's.

Long live the Uber wagon!

Ray Feel free to chime in and fill in the blanks

Here is Ray at Uberfest 2008, holding Bewber's infamous michigan plate and wearing Crovo's sun shades!

That's awesome! Cool that it's still alive. Bought from a salvage yard...sounds like it just barely avoided a sad ending.

To think that car has been overseas. Pretty wild. Glad someone saved it and hope someone that will appreciate it picks it up.

Very cool stumbling upon that. Sort of wish that it had received something more exotic, but at least it's alive!
