Camino LS6

Agreed. Interesting that you mention the Opel GT, as I see Kappa proportions in the rendering. No matter what they do, this design stands as the best example of the sort of beauty I would expect from a worthy Buick brand.

The other Avant renderings were just so-so, but the one I posted stunned me. The Riviera concept not so much.

Not if it looked like that rendering. I seriously doubt that you will see much in the way of exclusive drivetrains (short of variants) going forward. If the dirty bits are essentially the same as an ATS, I doubt anyone would complain since the sheetmetal would be so different (as well as the interior). In all of Buick's history there have been so few designs that really wowed me that you can count them on one hand. If they built this car as I laid out at the top of this page, I'd have to start using two hands.

Possible, but I doubt it. I don't think Buick will ever see a Zeta product in North America. I'd bet on Alpha.

It wasn't. It was part of a premium small Buick project on a GM blog. They did six different exteriors and a bunch of interiors for the project. It was called Buick Avant. This rendering is easily the best of the batch, and if they build it, I would gain a great deal of respect for Buick.

DOHC conversions for Chevy V8s have existed for a very long time...

This is the one I'm talking about:

Lagondawagon!

To respond to the original post: 1) Remember that sexy coupe concept rendering posted a while back? 2) The TT V6 is coming and will need more than one home 3) Alpha is coming and will need to spawn a number of models to maximize ROI. Add 1,2, and 3 together and you have a Buick even I would be interested in. Buick needs a halo - this should be it. ...and it should be called Riviera GS.

Sorry to hear this. I would be so steamed.

Recent sightings on RT. 252: - A 40s Lincoln 2-door: Low, shiny black, and moving fast - A '69 Mustang Fastback in flawless black - An early sixties Ford Galaxy droptop with a Thunderbolt style hood in white

Sounds like you have the right plan,Z. And a good base to start from.

Man, you were lucky!

Congrats, Z! Glad you finally found your truck.

Glad to see you back, NOS! And even happier that you survived the Honda wreck.

Glad to see you back, Ven!

Someone will buy that based on parts value alone. As for the dump bed removal: It will require a torch, and some serious lifting equiptment. ...but the truck would make a great phantom dually!

Exactly, he posted a pic of a Delta rather than a Delmont. Both are 67s.

My Delmont:

Oh my god! I owned one of those in that same color! As for the Auburn, I only saw the rear and a fleeting glimpse of the right side. It looked a bit too small and too low to be real. The real ones are BIG cars.

Yes on both counts.

We've already spoken.

The one I found: Pluses - very straight - good interior - fires right up and doesn't smoke - Can probably be had for under a grand Minuses - $h! brown in color - some rust - exhaust leak I haven't looked it over too closely, but it seems pretty damn good for the year. It has 150k on it.

That confirms what I have been thinking. My family had a 1970 280SE (injected six) when I was a teenager that was pretty solid. But the 4.5 seems to have a bigger desireability factor.

Nah, 16-way power seats were not available in 1971. I just have a line on one of these cars at a decent price and am wondering if I can make a buck on it.
