the ones listed above have been sold.
I pulled the other pair off yesterday and I'm ready to get rid of those also. 
These where from the upper rear control arms.  These are the hr poly ones that go on the ears of the rear end housing.
I have put maybe 150 miles on the car since listing the first ones.
$25 shipped to the lower 48.  I can ship to Canada, I'll have to get you a shipping quote first though.  It would be $15 plus actual shipping.
pic attached.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Why did you get rid of them?
Most talk about having thick skin but thats just BS.
This damn attitude of "you didn't listen to us/me now you should burn in hell for it" really sucks.

other than a few odds and ends I'm going back stock.  I am also probably going to take the poly's out of the lowers also, but keep the arms boxed.
i think the only other thing I have left I want to put back stock is the exhaust.   probably do that this spring.
originally I planned on making this into a decent handling 11 sec car, but I'm mostly into motorcycles these days, and this one is going to be a garage queen.  when I'm gone, the next guy can drive the hell out of it, lol

Having owned one car since it was new, I can say that they were much better daily drivers in all kinds of conditions when they came from the factory than after we started improving them.  One begins to lose ride comfort with all the normal improvements like big sway bars, poly bushings, etc.

Minor performance improvements don't have as much effect until we start having to go to big converters and lose the connection between the gas pedal and the engine....fort unately we don't normally notice this unless we have more than one car and begin to prefer the milder one for running around town due to the instant throttle response and the better road compliance.

agreed steve!
and even more than that, for me, on this car, Its just such a nice clean example of a heavily loaded low mile gn that I would just rather put it back stock as much as I can stand it, and enjoy it on nice days.
I'd like to think that 30 years from now, I can go out into the garage and uncover my unmolested "classic" buick and go for a ride.
If I wanna truly experience the rush of going fast, I can jump on the motorbike :rock:

hey here's a question,
Steve I'm leaving my rear seat brace kit in, and my poly bushings for the stock front sway bar (removed the fbody bar, and, when I removed my poly body bushings and put the oem rubbers back in, I installed the bushings the factory left off, including the #5 bushing.
my hopes are to prevent the dreaded roof cracks.  I've had them on every tb I've owned cept for this one.
this is probably classic tb3 over thinking things again,  but with as flimsy as our frames are, could I possibly be increasing the likely hood of getting the roof cracks by tightning the body to the frame more?

I think you are stiffening both frame and body and thus removing flex...so I don't think this increases the chance of a crack(s)
