Buick Roadmasters... Any Good?

[83turbomon]

I found one for 500 bucks at a local classic project car dealership in downtown tacoma, it for sure needs some body work and a tune up. This dam car is a freakin boat I am a big guy and I need a vehicle I can fit in... and a HONDA WONT CUT IT... I tried... sorry:frown:. This car was perfect and my a$$ fit in it along with a girl I was with who liked the car.... how does the TB.com community like the roadmasters and whats your take on em....

ALOT cheaper than an impy SS...... better mpgs I think too.

What year? Throttlebody or the famous lt1. They are good cars and parts are cheap. I worked for chevy from 91 to 97 and worked on tons of caprices and imp ss. For 500 you cant go wrong. The lt1 can get a little expensive if opti spark starts going south. look at the oil cooler lines also if they are leaking you may need to replace the radiator also.the lines rust to cooler. They leak oil just as bad as other buicks:biggrin: good luck

That is still a good engine. cheaper to fix than the LT1. Not as fast but who cares . Thats what the T-TYPE is for:biggrin:

i think the TBI engine in the Roadmasters was the LO5 350.. or something like that. damn near bulletproof and get good gas mileage..
