Finally Posting Pics - 1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate

I've been meaning to post some pics of my 94 Roady. I bought this car in August of last year from a guy on Craigslist who HAD to get rid of it. I picked it up for a $1000 bucks. It currently has 160K miles on the stock LT1. He had no idea what he had. He had inherited it from his brother and used to to haul around his band gear. Mechanically it's in great shape besides for a few mystery bugs here and there, like not starting when it sits out int he rain all night. I've figured it's probably the opti since, last time it sat out in the rain, I put a space heater under the front of the engine and after about 45 minutes she turned right over. Other than that, she fires up and runs like a CHAMP. When I got it she hesitated really bad on acceleration and it ended up being a bad water pump sensor. https://gmlongroof.4umer.com/t4608p40-misfires-sputters-surges-etc-runs-like-a-microwaved-elephant-turd

Being in the mid 40's this weekend I decided to run her through a car wash and take some pics of the ol' girl sitting in the sun. The driver's side of the car is pretty clean, unfortunately, somebody decided to try and take out a house with the passenger side. At some point in time, somebody badly repaired the ripped open rear quarter panel. Once I get my garage clean and organized (we just moved), I'll start collecting body panels to repair the damage.



Rock Chips & rust spots... /


Passenger Side - Notice the rippling sheet metal






RRRRRRRIIP!!

Needs a little massaging but looks like a nice car! Light blue with wood is one of my favorite colors too.

Good pics. Yes it needs some work but has the right options and like the colors. Glad you posted these, it's not a color combo you see much of. They all seem to be white or tan/gold.

Pretty car!

Thanks guys... yeah she needs some TLC and I feel like this car is going to be the beginning of my fleet. I told my wife that I'm never going to buy another style of car if I can't help it.

Well now is the time to buy 'em up before the rest of the world wakes up and smells the horsepower They are really at the bottom of their market right now.....which is good for us.

THat said the TBI cars will never appreciate with the LT1 cars and then the Buick will be the one to have for the luxary options. Although you don't see many wagons at Barret Jackson at all.

Great wagon for $1K! Nice score.

Damn. And all along I thought I was driving a rolling 401K plan.

It's probably the nicest $1000 car I've ever owned!!... lol... and I've owned a few.
