Collectors' cars are the best cars, mainly because they're properly cared for and typically exhibit rare features that you can't find often.
This 1969 Buick Sport Wagon checks all these boxes.
The car has recently emerged from someone's collection, as it's ready for a new home because it "just sits in storage." eBay seller modimesgirl says they own over two dozen vintage cars, and this Sport Wagon doesn't get much attention.
It needs a new home where it can retain its fabulous condition. The owner describes the Sport Wagon as "original, unrestored, and rare," and while I can't guarantee the first two claims, the third seems valid. Buick is believed to have produced approximately 20,000 Sport Wagons in 1969, and few are still around today.
This example's condition also sets it apart from the rest of the crowd, as it is rare to find a 1969 Buick Sport Wagon in tip-top shape and with everything in place without a previous restoration.
It makes little sense to discuss this Buick's condition, as you won't find the typical issues like rust and rot. The undersides are clean, and the only thing not working is the remote driver's side mirror. Everything is in good shape, and considering the owner's claim that the car is original and unrestored, the shiny paint should be the one sprayed by Buick before the Sport Wagon left the assembly plant.
The engine under the hood is a 400 Buick V8 with a four-barrel carburetor. This was the top engine choice for the 1969 Sport Wagon and was also available on the highly desirable GS series. The standard unit was the 250 straight-six borrowed from Chevrolet, while customers not necessarily interested in big blocks could stick with the 350 V8 offered to Skylark buyers.
As anyone would expect, given this Sport Wagon's condition, the 400 V8 starts, runs, and drives properly. The owner says the vehicle is ready for the road and can drive anywhere, with the odometer indicating approximately 46,000 original miles (that's approximately 74,000 km if you live in Europe).
A 1969 Buick Sport Wagon ticking all the boxes for a perfect collectible doesn't come cheaply, and this example aligns with this market trend. The owner wants $28K for the wagon, and they claim they aren't interested in any trades. However, they also enabled the Make Offer option on eBay, meaning they could listen to your offer if you want the car but aren't willing to pay the asking price.
The 55-year-old unrestored Buick is parked in Naples, Florida, and according to eBay's statistics, it's already being monitored by approximately 60 people. It's unclear if anyone is already involved in negotiations over a possible acquisition, so you'd better hurry up if you want the car.
