Roadside find- '60 Buick Lesabre

[Matt167]

So it's my day off and my neighbor needed a ride up to a repair shop way up in the sticks to pick up her car.. I have lived in this area all my life, but only went up that road with my dad as a kid a couple of times. Right by the old hanger to the now closed independent ( very small ) Airport I spotted a '60 Buick, 4dr and pretty sure it's a Lesabre, but it looks in good shape. I didn't stop and look because I had to take her up and follow her back. It's also only a 10 min drive from my house..

If I were able to obtain this car, what would a fair price be? It probably has not moved in 20 years, and it's grown up quite a bit, but the car is still clearly visable. paint looks decent enough that it could be buffed, but I'm sure the frame may need some work. Also, can they tow a 16' Fiberglass boat? I recently obtained my grandfathers 1961 Custom Craft Searay, so it would be cool to tow the boat with a similar year car.

I would think a 60 Buick anything could tow houses thats a big car.. as far as value ??? would depend on how bad you want it and what they want for it couple hundred would be a place to start

I have to locate the owner, My neighbor told me the owner of the Airport ( where the car is ) lived in 2 houses, and switched from house to house every year or so because he would run them down to the point they were not livable, and then repair them. Both houses have fallen into ruin so I have to ask around or check the tax maps. I was thinking $2-500

Figured this

Would look good towing this

Boat needs resto too, but that ~should~ be done for the summer
