The Invicta, though not a mainstream success during its production span from 1959 to 1963, has earned reverence among collectors for its rarity and allure. Its scarcity, coupled with its reputation for being hard to find in impeccable condition, has increased its status in the collector’s sphere.
Buick’s 1961 iteration of the Invicta adopted design elements that resonated with GM enthusiasts, notably incorporating the beloved bubbletop design, a feature also seen in the Impala but in significantly fewer numbers. Recently, a listing on Craigslist presented an Invicta that, despite its condition potentially dissuading some, still held an air of intrigue.
The seller opted to let the photos speak for the car, withholding detailed specifics, perhaps banking on Invicta’s name to fascinate potential buyers.
However, the absence of additional information leaves much to the imagination, especially concerning crucial aspects like the interior and engine condition. Given its apparent neglect, rust issues and missing parts are reasonable concerns prospective buyers should address.
With the engine conspicuously absent and the whole non-operational state, a thorough inspection is imperative for anyone considering purchasing this vintage gem, priced at a modest $2,000.
Located in Maple Valley, transporting the Invicta home would require a trailer due to its non-running condition. While the seller acknowledges the restoration challenges and modest pricing, a clearer picture of the car’s condition would undoubtedly aid potential buyers in making informed decisions.
