Just Joined from Seattle - Great to meet you all!
Longtime Buick/Chevy Fanatic from the fringe. I have a friend that moved to Tucson with his fabulous 1966 Custom Suburban and I missed it! I've been on the lookout for some time, but fell into a deal I could not resist. Good old Craigslist comes thru again. - This was listed for a mere $800 but the ad had no pictures so I quickly made arrangements to check it out.
Got there and this is what was sitting there -  Even though the guy told me that the steering was broken and the starter was dragging, I slapped down the money RIGHT NOW! Steering problem was a poorly installed coupler to the added later model Power Steering Box - $5 part from the junkyard. Starter was OK, just lousy wiring. She started up and runs like a CHAMP! Previous Owner swapped the grille out - I kinda like it, but I've got a 1966 grille to spruce up, do a little custom work on and install later. I'm a Very Happy Suburbanite in Seattle...

Re: Just Joined from Seattle - Great to meet you all!
Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! I celebrated Earth Day yesterday by taking the old girl out for a cruise - She ran very well, I'm pretty darn happy with my new toy! err, I mean Shop Truck! Love that V-8 rumble!
I'm sure she's good to go for a run out to Monroe middle of next month. I hope to see a bunch of you out there. Rumor has it that someone is bringing a BBQ grill - I cook a great TurkeyBurger and will be glad to make some for the good of the cause.
