I can't believe I found two owners in one location.
I ran an ad on "Craigslist Wanted " to find any and all information about a 71 Buick GSX "SCO" Special car order being Verdemist Green.
I got a reply from a guy stating he thinks that it is his old car. He believed it was green with an orange stipe and it had a 4 speed with buckets. So I was certain that was his car "BINGO" as I said nothing about those items. So I sent him a couple of pictures and he replied that it was his old car. He didn't know what he had at age 18 and he still doesn't know what he gave up. He was way excited to know that the car still exists and made its way to PA from WI. So we talked and I found out his brother owned the car before him. When he bought it from his brother the engine had wire wrapped up in it, so he replaced the engine. He also stated that the guy he sold it to called him several months after he sold it and cussed him out because the clutch went out. The same story the guy gave me that I bought it from. That makes my search much closer at this time, it brings me to within 6 years of the build year. So I'm still looking for any and all information leading to original owner. He is going to meet up with his brother and try to find me some pictures or paper work if any still exist. And so the search continues....
