I have to sell both of my Buicks for economic reasons now that I lost my job here in OKC. I found out Friday mornong that large company (75 yrs old co.)I worked for has been puchased by another company ou tof Houston and my job is a duplicate job. So I'm out of luck.
I just bought (a month ago) a very nice 1987 Turbo Buick 34k orginal miles Blue/ Blue w/ chrome. pretty much orginal but it does have the GNX style dash. All orginal paper work. $15,000.
I'm just sick about the whole thing. Its like starting over.

Interested in the blue one. Still have it or is it sold?
 
Thanks

I have answered all the PMs. :eek: I don't think its totally hit me yet. Didn't see this coming at all. Anyone need a pilot? or know of anyone? I fly Falcon, Citation corporate jets and Boeing 737 Airliners.
I'll be home on Friday to send more pics to the serious inquireries.

Thanks for the compliments.
 
I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. was this a result of Anadarko? A friend of ours here flies private for Flexjet out of Dallas. I hear they are growing if you want to check them out. Bombardier.

Good luck, John

Hi Barry

Hi Barry

I'm sorry to hear the awful news. I hope and pray all works out for you and your future and family.

I'm interested in 1 of your cars.
Please call me in Tampa 813 727-1648
 
Thanks guys.

Yes I have four children. The wife won't let me sell them though :biggrin:
I'm sure it will all work out;it always does.

I know of Flex jet I have a few buddys flying over there. Although they are all trying to leave for the airlines.
I'll probably have to go back to the airline life style. I did it for five years and it was not condusive to the family life. Anyway, hopefully it will be SWA or Fed-Ex cargo.


Joe,
I just got home and anwered all my PM's.

Thanks for the prayers Tomcat, I need all I can get. Glad to her you sold your car.

Both of my cars are in very good condition.
 
Eticket

Eticket,
Yes it was Anadarko who bought us out. Somthing like 21 billion dollars. Unbelievable. And of course our CEO made out like a bandit. :mad: Options + extended salary and appointed as a board member of Anadarko= around $80-100 million. SOB!
Its in his best interest that I'm not the Capt. on any future trips of his.
 
Man, I am very sorry to hear about your luck. I hope you find a way to keep the Regals...... :(
