Baja Road Trip Adventure For Sale: If your idea of a bucket list road trip is sitting on a lawn chair at a car show bragging about your original equipment hose clamps, then this car is not for you. However, if you are looking for your next great adventure, welcome. The winning bidder will probably be a like minded soul, so you are invited for cocktails at our Palm Springs home and we will give you our trip itinerary including road maps, hotel and beach bar recommendations. Prepared by the same guys that built our Carrera Panamericana race car Studebaker and Trans Am Camaro, we present our Baja Buick. The Baja Buick is like that old slump breaker girl friend, pretty enough for a Sunday morning drive through town, but doesn’t mind getting dirty on a road trip. We drove the Buick from Palm Springs to Cabo San Lucas in 2018 (after the hurricane) and back via Mexico Highway 5 down the east coast of Baja, without legal, mechanical or major matrimonial problems. This Buick is the magic ticket that transforms you from “another f...king gringo tourist to - yo hombre I love your car, let me buy you a beer”. If you’re afraid to travel through Baja you should be ashamed of yourself. We’re two Canadians that don’t speak Spanish, but managed to swim with whale sharks, take kite boarding lessons, try body surfing, catch enough fish to feed the whole bar, scuba dive in Cabo Pulma and consume enough beer and tacos to help the Baja economy. Technical Stuff: 350 c.i. Small Block with 4 BBL carb, dual exhaust and 3 speed automatic. New oversized aluminum radiator, big fan and water pump keep things cool while running the A/C with the top down. All new ball joints and tie rod ends. New front brake discs, rebuilt calipers, and new rear brake shoes. New convertible top - electric and it works. Hotchkis tuned Fox adjustable heavy duty shocks. Full skid plate under motor and transmission - tested and it works. Two mounted spare tires. Factory air conditioning works. Tool kit, air compressor, battery charger, NATO metal 5 gal. certified gas can mounted in trunk, spare belts, hoses and fluids. Decent stereo complete with sub woofer. Yeti cooler for the back seat - keeps beer cold for three days without adding fresh ice. Probably the most smiles per dollar in this auction. If not now, when?
