Al Yeager's 72 Stage 1 4-speed...

[Brett Slater]

Hi guys,

Here are some pictures of my 1972 GS 455 Stage 1 4-Speed that Scott Miller and I refer to as one of 101 plus one (clone)

Most of the credit on the development of this car goes to Scott Miller. I bought this car a while back and it has been a blast to own and drive. I just added some of my own touches to a already great car like a 3:42 posi , N.O.S. correct carburetor , dual underdrive pulleys , short console and some small cosmetic improvements.

Scott took a 72 GS 350 bench seat automatic and changed it to a car that even the Buick people need to see the V.I.N. to tell that is one of 101 plus one. Hope all you all enjoy this.

Anyone with questions about this thread should contact Al Yeager who's handle is "IDOXLR8." I just posted the pics for him. This car IS easy on the eyes, isn't it??:Brow: :Brow:

Hey guys, here is my daily driver. AL:laugh:

That car is beautiful Al... and the Corvette ain't bad either!:laugh: :laugh: :Dou: .

[IDOXLR8]

Thanks Chris, I bought the 1984 Buick wagon for $150.00 and did a complete frame off restoration. I pulled the 3.0 V6 and installed a 3.8 V6. I Overhauled the trans with performance clutches and a light shift kit, install factory style dual exhaulst, F-41 front sway bar, ralley dash with gauges and a factory tachometer, Park Avenue material for the seats, Its a special ordered car. I saved this car from its maker because it sat on a repair shop lot with a locked up engine ready to go some where no Buick lover want them to go. So if you hear a 20 year old Buick wagon sounding a lot like a Grand National running in the fast lane its probably me. IDOXLR8 :laugh: AL

How can anyone say they don't like green cars after seeing these pics? Dan

[IDOXLR8]

Thanks Dan, I at one time I had red cars. Tha GS was always green and the Corvette was gold and I decieded to change it back to the orginial color (British Green). Come on back a little later I'll show you some before shots. IDOXLR8 AL :eek2:

Here ia the before shot. :eek2:

Hey guys check out my new tags for my 72 GS.

[bill lagna]

Very Nice AL,
Don't go burning rubber and all that good stuff because Tony has the same Maryland plate "stage 1' in regular tags on his 70 "Stage 1".
I didn't think they would issue the historic with the same "stage 1 ' We have "stage 2" historic on the wagon and "GSX" regular plates on the "X". Maybe we need to get a picture of all the cars together with the plates.

Bill, I think you got a good idea and maybe it will make on our news letter. AL :TU:

Great car! This is the smartest man on the planet. They should have made more Stage 1s and 4 speeds , but why don't we just make more? I'm tired of seeing cloned Yenkos and Hemis at Barrett-Jackson for stupid money. Or how about the guy at your local dragstip with a $10,000 engine in an 88' Mustang?I mean what's the point? As long as the owners are upfront about the numbers and no one is being deceived, I say keep 'em coming. "When better automobiles are built, we'll build 'em" . We all know the demand is there. Hats off , again :beer :TU: :3gears:
