Moby Dick: 1995 Buick Roadmaster Sedan
In 1994 the Buick Roadmaster got a massive powerplant upgrade when it ditched the old L03/L05 V8 and replaced it with an LT1 V8 that had more horsepower, more torque, and better fuel economy. It shared the LT1 with the Corvette, but you couldn’t fit 6 people into a Corvette. Find this 1995 Buick Roadmaster Sedan offered for $2,400 in Tucson, AZ via craigslist.

If you’re a car geek like me, you’ll like this article about the groundbreaking 1988 Cadillac Voyáge Concept, and how it was the precursor to the 1991 Roadmaster. Lots to love about this car.

You’d be better off with an ex-cop Caprice or an ex-taxi Crown Vic with similar mileage than this specimen. At least that way you’d be getting a car with a history of fleet maintenance. This Roadmaster has nothing special going for it and does not look like it’s been cared for at all. New A/C compressor but A/C needs a recharge… in Tucson, AZ. At a minimum that means the A/C system has a leak that the seller hasn’t found.
Great beater.
Looks like all 260 horses were ridden hard and put away wet. A lot.
