Up for bid is a 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon with 166k one owner miles. Collector's Edition like every other '96 Roadmaster. Loaded up with power everything. Boasting GM's Corvette inspired multiport injected 5.7L LT1 V8 engine and 4L60E 4 speed automatic transmission, she puts down plenty of power. Tow package with 2.93 limited slip rear end (GW9 & G80 build codes). Trailer preparation tow package means the factory rated the car to pull 5000 lbs but these did not come from the factory with hitches so all hitches are aftermarket. This car has a light duty hitch. Delivers consistent 16 in town and 24 highway at 70 mph. Clean history - send me your email address and I'll send you the history report showing lots of maintenance. Salvage title due to left rear door damage - I have a before pic; feel free to ask. Runs and drives great - drive anywhere.
