American Al was fond of powerful sports cars from an early age, so at the age of 16, before getting a driver’s license, he decided to buy a 1968 Buick GS400. This was in 1975 and a used car turned out to be very inexpensive.

Al drove a Buick for five years and then sold the car to a resident of a nearby town. Almost immediately, he regretted it, but he could not buy the car back – the new owner changed his place of residence.


The American was looking for a Buick for a long time, but in the end gave up. But one day a cousin told Ella that back in the 80s she saw his Buick parked outside a house in a nearby town. He specified the address and went there.

It turned out that another family already lives in the house, but they knew the new address of the previous owner. Al went to see him and was surprised to learn that he not only still owns Buick, but also wants to sell it. Naturally, the American immediately bought the car he had been looking for for 42 years.


It should be noted that now the 1968 Buick GS400 has become much more expensive, because it is a rare sports model with a 6.6-liter V8 with a capacity of 340 hp. With. It accelerates to hundreds in 6.2 seconds and can reach speeds of over 200 km / h. However, for Al, the question of price was not, especially since the car was perfectly preserved.

Previously Focus reported that the United States found an old Ukrainian “Zaporozhets” in perfect condition.
