Adam,

I believe it is because of the service your using.

Just resize, and upload right to the site from your PC.

I think anyway... :Do No: I'm just a car guy who knows how to type...:Brow:

[buickdav]

George,

nice looking cars you got there. i was wonderin' where my parts were gonna end up.,lmao.

Nice rides............


later......................

[staged67gspwr]

I forgot to add a pic of my 464.

George

[rwgs]

Sinister ride. I have a Stage1 powerd 67GS California. How do i post a picture. Ray.

[Jan Garwig]

BEAUTIFUL CAR- I was wondering how my GS400 would look like with those wheels-now I know. Gorgeous. I'll just have to have a set of those. Thanks.

Gnmanjan

[Jan Garwig]

After pricing out those wheels, I wouldn't exactly call them "poverty caps". Expensive but very nice. Maybe I can find a set at the nats in May. I hope to see you and your car there. I can only get a few days off work that week so I'll fly into Nashville and drive up to BG. Thank God for UPS.

[Adam Whitman]

Should I switch to disc brake rally's?

[Adam Whitman]

The aircleaner now has a cold-air duct fed from the cowl.

[Mike Atwood]

Adam..... That has to be the coolest color blue. I just love Blue on that year 'Lark. :jd:

[Adam Whitman]

Thanks Mark. It's funny, nobody usually likes it because it looks so bad when faded and oxidized that they can't visualize it in base-coat/clear-coat. I had guys tell me it'd look awful when looking at the old faded paint. It now has almost a shimmery/glowing effect. I was very happy with it when it came out of the spray booth.

[JESUPERCAT]

Adam nice Buick.
Now to figure out where the color botton is. lol

[quickstage1]

Here is my dad's 64 Riv. It's a 425 2x4's, and a 100 shot of NOS. Also has a 9" ford with 4.10's. On this pass it ran 12.8 with a 1.66 short time carrying the front wheels about 4-5 feet!

[Riviman]

Hello,

This was my first 66 Riviera. ( I hope the picture uploads )
It was my first car also. I put a lot of work into this 400 dollar beauty. Paint job, white interior,trim parts and rebuilt the engine myself with my father's help. ( Or maybe I helped him ) The interior door panels were redone in a very short black shag. I liked them,even though a lot of people didn't. I owned the car for 3-4 years before I sold it. I could kick myself now for selling it. Actually I regretted selling it about 6 months after I did. That's why after all these years I bought another 66 Riv to take it's place. I'll post a picture of it in a later post.

[Riviman]

Hello,

Here is a pic of my current Riv. It is a 1966 GS model. Thinking of painting it the same as my first one as seen in a previous post. It needs some work, but it will get there slowly. I installed sequential taillites on it. One of the things I wanted to do to the 1st Riv I owned. It will not be fixed up to stock but to my liking. Thinking of adding driving lites to it that swing down from under the front bumper when turned on. Also looking into custom tail lite lenses and front parking lamp lenses. Anyway a long way to go. If ever in Bergen County, NJ on a Saturday nite in the summer, try and stop by Whiskey Cafe in Lyndhurst ( down the block from Medevil Times ). The local ROA members are usually there.:beer

[stagetwo65]

This is my first attempt at posting a pic from my brandy new scanner. I'll try the shady shot where the paint actually looks good.... OK, I don't know what I'm doing wrong but every type of file I tried to use to post the pic the board rejected and told me the file was too big. I kept trying different types until it went through, but it's an attachment. What's next if I want to post like the rest of you did?

You will need to save the image as a JPG image. I would also recommend resizing the image to no more than 640x480 for a post here. If you are using Adobe Photoshop, use a compression of "6" when it asks you what quality to save at.

It should work from there. If it doesn't message me...I'll try to make it easier.

[BuickStreet]

I want everyone of you to submit these incredible cars to http://www.buickstreet.com .

I am extremely excited by at least...all of them!

Please guys, submit your high quality photos to me at bill@buickstreet.com and I will notify you each when your cars are featured.

I ask you to support my site because I spend every night and every weekend working on it just for the love of Buicks.

In the meantime here is a picture of me in my Australian Right Hand Drive 1966 Electra 225 (no, the image hasn't been reversed :rolleyes: we drive on the left hand side of the road here in Australia).

My engine's not pink it's just the lighting.

[Adam Whitman]

Lookin' good! I saw a beauty of a 67 a couple weeks ago at a car show. Silver metallic w/black buckets and mini-console. The 64-5's are my favorite still, but the '67 gained a new respect from me. C-L-A-S-S

[The Old Guy]

I am not computer literate enough to post pictures of my early rides,but you may have seen my Purple 37 Buick coupe with a 455 running at the GSCA nats a few years ago. I also have a 57 Buick Special 2 dr hard top mounted on a 72 Electra chassis. the coupe is a street rod and looks it , but the 57 looks original. :)

[Adam Whitman]

Joe, get Roberta or ?? to help ya get your pics online. or if they are digital already, e-mail them to me and I'll do it for you. I'd love to see both of those cars. I think I'm more of a hot-rod addict than a muscle-car junkie. :Do No: But I do like 'em both. I'd like to find a nice '56 Buick to restify if I ever finish the projects I already have. That would fit the electra chassis the same as your 57 wouldn't it?

Adam, how did you know? That's what I'm going to do here shortly! Look out! RV

[Adam Whitman]

Yep, that's the stage 2 in there. Just put the cam in but still have to get a cam-swap gasket set. Hey JW, how long to put 'er on the frame table and install a cage?

[Adam Whitman]

[RIVBUILDER]

The 37 is way cool :TU: :TU: :TU:

[The Old Guy]

It certainly is handy having Roberta just 4 miles away. She has been like a personal secretary to me for years,and I could not imagine not having her expertise available. She shoots a good game of pool also, so we have some good battles in my Buick Room:blast: :beer

[Adam Whitman]

Good shifting a 4-speed and shoots a mean game of pool. That makes at least 2 things she does better than me! :ball: At least she doesn't know extractive metallurgy (I hope) :laugh:

Joe, that 37 looks great. My pop had a 37 Chev a little lighter red than that at one time. What ET do you get out of both that and the 57?

[The Old Guy]

The 37 has a 2.56 axle and runs 14.0s at 100MPH in the first two gears. I built it for the highway and did not know at the time that a 200-4R would hold up under the 455. I have never had the 57 down the track. I have not installed seat belts and they won't let it run. It is a one legger anyway .so it would just melt the right tire. My 72 GS has a 200-4R and a 3.31axle ,and that is the perfect compromise. It is a 3990 lb. convert with AC and it runs in full street trim 13.0s at 106-7 and pulls 18 MPG

[Roberta]

At least she doesn't know extractive metallurgy (I hope)

Extractive metallurgy: when you take the cans out of your car/truck to the recycle bin at the grocery store to get your $0.10 back in Michigan!:grin:

Here's a pic of the 57 at our club picnic in 2000, I can't seem to find the other pictures, will have to wander over and take some more!

Adam,

How long till I can do it, or how long will it take??

How long till I can do it.... depends on how things go... looking at Winter/Spring 2004

How long will it take?

That depends on how much cage you want .. typically a full cage will take 6 weeks or so, start to finish. Obvioiusly, this will all be custom built.

[Jim Weise]

George,

Very nice, tasteful wheel tire upgrade. Specs on the wheels/tires?

Tell me more about the disc upgrade, prices, part numbers and install.

JW

[Adam Whitman]

WOW George! That looks much better than I would have expected.

[staged67gspwr]

Thanks guys,im glad you guys think it looks nice,we have to make Buicks look fancier,i always see Chevelles.Jim e-mail me and i will give you all the details you want on the set up.


Thanks
George

[Eric Schmelzer]

George, 17" wheels!!!!:bglasses: Of course for the whole car:jd:

[RIVBUILDER]

George,that is one really,really nice looking 67 GS. And that 37,Joe that thing is wicked,street rods are awesome.My dad had a relly nice 40 f@rd coupe when I was a kid we took it to the street rod nats a couple of times.I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with that car yet.building a street rod is more like an engineering feat compared to building a 60's or 70's car.Buick street rods are cool.

Hi Dave.

Looking good. Slightly too invisible for my likings though. Where's the pic?

[rivired]

here is my 67' Riv ,its all original,never restored,i did a a perf. exaust system put on it so it sound good but thats it

[RIVBUILDER]

Oh yea ,thats nice

[dcm422]

Here are a couple of pics of my 67 GS400. It really hasn't been anywhere in 5 years. Moved, got married, kids in college...Yada...Yada...Yada....you know the story.
Just did a complete brake job and cleaned it up. Hope to make E-town on the Saturday of Labor Day or Cecil County Md in October.
Looking forward to meeting some of you folks there!

Regards,
Mark

[dcm422]

Here's the other pic.......would like to know how to put more than one in a reply.

Thanks,
Mark

[Leviathan]

Mark,

Looks great! I'm still messing with color selections, mind if I ask what that is? color blind, pls bear with me...

[dcm422]

Hi Clint,
The color is called "Sapphire Blue" and is an original 67 color. It was painted in an enamel from PPG back in 1985!
I don' t think it was Centauri and may have been a version of polyurethane. Somewhere I have some of the paint in the can from the body shop.
The dupont # is 867-98142 and Ditzler # is 13349. With these #'s I am pretty sure you could have it mixed (assuming you like it) in poly or 2 step like Deltron.
Honestly, I am surprised how well it has held up. My 70 GS is painted in Centauri in a similar blue (Gulfstream Blue) and it needs to be polished every so often as it dulls. Not the case with the 67. Just wash it and it looks great.
If I can anwer any other questions, just ask.
Thanks,
Mark

[Leviathan]

Thanks Mark, the car looks really straight & clean.

I'm really fond of that coloring scheme, light blues, greens, silvers. It'll help hide some of the nasty bodywork I require. Did you spray that yourself or was it done at a shop?

Ever heard of that color in a base/clear system?

[dcm422]

Clint,
I had it done in a shop by one of the guys in our NE club at the time. He had a shop on Long Island and did a great job on the car. There was rust at the fender bottoms and rear qtr bottoms. The wheel wells are original. Just some small patches in the trunk.
I can do motors trannys etc. and can take the whole car apart but metal and paint work I leave to the pros.
As to the paint, I have been told that any color can be made into base/clear coat. I got a pint of "Wedgewood Blue" for my 64 Skylark and was told it was available in that. That is why I gave you the paint codes. With them, you can have the color mixed.
Here as some pics of the 67 the day I got it in 1981.......what a difference.:eek2:

[dcm422]

Another angle show some of the work needed.
A lot of our cars start out this way. Most of the time we see the finished work on someones car and not how it began.

Mark

[Leviathan]

Wow, thanks for the update. I'm in the same boat, need pros for the bodywork. I'm patching the quarters as well as the doors. Complete replacement on the trunk.

I also killed off my vinyl roof wasn't sure if the dofference in look would be bad, seeing hte difference o yours put it in perspective!

[SIRRODERICKGS]

Here is my GS convertible... It has GS Club headers and new cam stock cut fresh by Comp Cams. 15" wheels, Vacuum trunk release, 3 speed manual (1 of 123) and correct Midnight Blue Paint. This car has been a blast to take to shows for the last three years... Seems nobody has ever seen one of these before. Makes great conversation!

[WQ59B]

Here's a pic from 1990 before I'd even tried to get to first base with my steel girlfriend. :pp

August, 1988 - When it first hit the streets after the resto :bglasses: :
http://meanbuicks.freeplace.net/images/gs400/gs400_45.jpg

I used the GS as my daily driver for a while before aquiring the GN. About 8 years ago, after a rod bearing went, I decided that I would go through the entire car again. The driveline was removed, the body was separated from the frame and there it sits. :Do No:
http://meanbuicks.freeplace.net/images/gs400/gs400_frame-off.jpg

Many know the drill; new house, two children are born, yada yada. I really need to get back to it. I miss driving it. :ball:

Here's more. (http://meanbuicks.freeplace.net/67gs400.htm)

[staged67gspwr]

wow,no wonder i havent heard from you or your car around the area or the boards,so u took it apart again hey as long as you like what your doing,what exactly happened to the motor?


Thanks
George

[MeanBuicks]

There's been some lively discussion around here as of late about me turning wrenches on the ol' GS again. Heck, my son is now 6-years old (actually closer to 7) which means he can lend a helping hand now. :pp

As for the motor, well it just developed a rod knock. When I tore it down I had one spun rod bearing and damaged crank journal. Don't know why but that'll need to be rectified. Cylinder walls should clean up fine with a hone. It's the numbers-matching original block, bored .030. (Those stinkin' pistons were a bear to find back in 1987. Can't imagine locating any now.)

BTW, George, this car, like me, is originally from NJ (hence, the body rot :af: ). That is where I restored it the first time. I brought it with me to Tennessee when I moved here in 1991.

[staged67gspwr]

Cool Greg,i wish u luck,maybe we can meet up some day i live across the river in NYC,nice meeting you.


Thanks

Lee

[YellowLark]

Here's my 1966 Skylark.

I was 21 when when my parents brought it home from the dealer.

Inherited it in 1996. Could have bought a new Regal GS for what I've spent restoring it.

But, I still think it's sporty and fast and fun to drive around on nice weekends and take to car shows.

[staged67gspwr]

Nice car Harry:TU:

[BuickStreet]

You're welcome Lee.

It's been a while since I added any new content but I have some pictorials from my recent visit to the States that I'm working on and of course I have a huge backlog of submitted cars that I will eventually get around to. I'm only one guy working on it so it's slow going sometimes. I'll be sure to post any substantial new content as it appears.

[sore loser]

:ball: :ball: :ball:
Here is the 65 GS I owned before my son was born. I bought it in Paradise, IN for $1200 dollars!! It was a Flint built car with a Rochester Q-jet and a close ratio T-10 4spd. The car was basically stock with a street/strip clutch&pressure plate. I added a mallory coil and electronic ignition and a comp140 fuel pump and filter with 1/2" fuel line from the tank to carb. This baby would really take off the line but it was hard to keep the stock tires from going up in smoke. I was forced to sell when the engine knocked from too many drag races and we needed a family car for the new addition. Boy do I miss that car! I can't find my good pictures but this was taken shortly after I bought it.

Don

[staged67gspwr]

wow,Don that looks like my `65 car exactly.


Thanks

[brblx]

harry, i love how you did the top on that car. i've seen painted tops with the trim before, but did they do gloss from the facxtory?

[YellowLark]

David,

The car came with a black vinyl top.

Tried fitting two new tops on it in 1999, but was unhappy with the fit, even with pro's doing the fitting.

Then, I discovered that the car could have been ordered from the factory with a painted two-tone top.

So, off came the vinyl, followed by de-glueing and sanding.

The car was a repainted with basecoat/clearcoat using a 1985 Subaru yellow (computer match) and gloss black. The yellow is much glossier than the original, but I think that, well, shiney black is shiney black.

As a footnote, I asked the BCA Head Judge about the clearcoat and gloss, and he said "no problem" as long as the color was correct, which it appears to be.

[Leviathan]

Harry,

My 67 had the identical 2-tone... err, well I assume so... I'm rather color blind. The top was a more flat black, almost the same sheen as the dash and pillars. The black lines really show off those sail panels, I am debating wether or not to keep the 2 tone or go all solid. Heh, seeing it really helps!

[staged67gspwr]

Here is a pic of my newly bought `65 GS and my `67 GS.


Thanks

[staged67gspwr]

and the interior

[Mark Ascher]

George,

I picked up a steering wheel exactly like that this past summer - what did you have to do to get it to work with the stock column, and what horn button is on it?

Looks great!

Mark

[staged67gspwr]

Mark,no modifications on the wheel to hub,it fit right on,i just had to get the sport wheel horn contact,the horn button is a Buick from i believe 65-68.


Thanks

[Mark Ascher]

George,

Excellent, thanks for the info. It looks great!

Mark

[SpecialWagon65]

Here is my 455 powered "Wag-gone"
I really need to install my Posi!
455 has a mild build up, the usual TA stuff, Stage 1 job on the heads, Greg Gessler ported exhaust manifolds, 2.5" exhaust.

[staged67gspwr]

Mark just a thing i left out,the horn cap was used on the sportwheel for thos years i mentioned.



That is an excellent looking wagon,wow that is so cool.:TU:


Thanks

Mark

Speaking of "how it began"... here's my 66 Skylark as it looks now.. right at the beginning-- I just bought it about a month ago. I sure hope it looks better than this at the same time next year. Just finished gutting the interior-- working on getting a new right front floor pan, carpet, headliner, dash pad, etc. Right now I'm trying to budget and make some plans for the engine and body. I'm sure it'll be a while before it looks as nice as the others up here! Especially because I don't know what the heck I'm doing (that's why I read these forums!) :)

[YellowLark]

Ethan,

Great car, great potential!

Mine, at the top of this page, looked worse than yours a few years ago. Yours could not possibly have rust-out in more areas than mine had.

Go to car shows, get specialty vendor catalogs, visit not only Buick, but also Chevelle, GTO, Cutlass websites, as those "sister" cars have much in common.

If I told you how much money I have spent on restoring mine, you would sell yours....but, that's not really important, as there are much less expensive ways to do everything. What's most important is that you enjoy spending your time and money on the car. Post more pictures as you make progress.

[ethan]

Thanks! Actually, the car has next to no rust at all! I guess it pays to live in Cally. The only rust I could find is a little around the rear window (you know how water likes to pool up there) and the right front floor pan (looks like the car had a bad heater core at one point). Other than that, it has a ton of little dings and dents, but nothing really all that major.

Will do! I hope others will post their progress on the site as well... hopefully that will give me some ideas. It would be cool if there was a place on this site to post digital photos of Buick specific projects-- kind of like a user HOW TO section. I really dig the photo-based how to projects that I've seen scattered across the net.

[opeltwinturbo]

:laugh: The slowest Buick in my fleet. A 1932 Model 57. Kick butt straight 8 with 3 speed on the floor. Due for a frame off in 2003-04. Will probably switch to steel wheels for highway use.

[gsman66]

I'm trying to submit a pic of my '66 Skylark GS thin pillar coupe. I have owned it since 1994. Added a dual quad setup to the 401 nailhead and put a 3:36 posi in it several years back. Was repainted in mid 1999.

Hope the attachment works.

Steve

[staged67gspwr]

Real Nice Steve,she looks really nice.


Thanks

[Chris Lott]

Very nice Steve! What color is that?:TU:

[gsman66]

George & Chris,
Thanks!

Chris, the color is as close to the original burgundy mist as I could find - it's called Bordeaux Red Pearl which I saw on the '99 Buicks.

Also Chris, I see you're in Austin; if we Texans get the Seguin meet going, maybe we'll get to meet up.....

Steve

[Chris Lott]

Hey, Absolutely!!!! If we do the Seguin meeting, I'll be there with the GS350 for sure. It has a couple pretty good size dents from the original owner, but it is somewhat presentable. I'm definately looking forward to seeing all of these buicks, and getting to meet some of the people I talk to on here all of the time! Very nice car steve.

[NickDFX]

George, the way that 67 looks, you prolly hurt your brain/memory just touching the gas pedal. lol. I have a 65 that looks alot like the other one in your pic. Do you have more pics of the 65? Is it the Sedan? (pillars) Mine is white with a red roof and red interior. Very clean, and on it's way to be even better. It has chrome rails around the roof that I always get asked about and I'm not too sure what the deal is with that. What tire sizes? Did you go 15x7 all around on the rims? Mine is still stock 14's w original spinner caps but that's ther next thing to go. Looking at maybe going with 15x7 Buick Rally's. I'd love to see what you've done to it. Maybe steal some ideas from ya. Mine is still very stock 300cid 4bbl w/ST 300 but I want to get the scoop on how to un-stock it the right way. Don't need a racing set up but, peeling some rubber and waking the neibors does sound like a must. You can read my Buick's story "Hapiness is a 65 worth fixing" in the newbie welcome wagon or in the "post your car's life story" thread. I going to post this e-mail aswell, maybe some others will chime in with ideas.

Thanks, Nick in L.A. (NYC transplant) lots of family there.

Nick i actually love it when i hit the pedal to the metal when u feel the power,its a rush,i do get scared sometimes but as much as i used to in the beginning,i`m kinda used to it now,as for the `65 its a Original GS matching#`s 401 motor and tranny posi,a/c,tach,console,never been modified stock everything with the stock points distributor as well as the 14" wheels,i will post a couple of more pics but i dont have any good pics of it.

Thanks

[staged67gspwr]

and this

[NickDFX]

Ok, here it is. The Insurance adjusters pics of what that SOB!#$@$@ did to my 65. arrrrgggg.. makes a good before pic tho. Cause I don't have any from when I first got it but, it was in pretty good shape even then. And no, I don't normally keep it so dirty but, I was afraid to wash off the knuckle heads tire marks.

:af:

[NickDFX]

And this...

hey, anyone know why George's 65 GS has the same taillights as my Skylark?..and what about these chrome roof rails?

[staged67gspwr]

Its ok Nick,dont worry dude its metal it can get fixed,before you know again it will be fixed and you will think it used to be like that,good luck with her.


Thanks
George

[staged67gspwr]

Nick,all skylarks and GS`s had the same tailights,the Specials had the different tailight,as for the roof chrome that was a Skylark Vinyl top roof chrome,the GS`s had a full vinyl top,only chrome moldings on the GS`s were in the rear by the back window.

Thanks

[staged67gspwr]

Here is a pic of the interior

[NickDFX]

Thanks George, This is now the good side. LOL. Think I should go 15's when I get wheels? Not too big on vinyl tops. I kind of like the red.

[brblx]

i like the top:TU:

imo the wheels are personal preference...do you want it to look agressive? right now it's got a pretty good sleeper look going on (not a bad thing, of course).

[YellowLark]

NickDFX,

How is the damage going to be repaired? You simply can't buy a quarter panel for that car.

I had a lot less damage to my '66, and had difficulty finding a shop that would straighten a section that large.

Or, have you been able to locate a parts car with a decent quarter?

[Topless64-455]

George,
I see you now have a Tach in the 65. Do you know where I can get one? I have a tach that only goes to 1000 rpm but I still need the chrome bezel that holds the tach.

Ed

[staged67gspwr]

Ed,i had the tach but in the previous picture it was out cause i had it sent out to repair it,i had bought it from ebay last year,i dont know where u might be able to find one,i`d say post wanted add in this group and try ebay,but they will not be cheap.

Thanks

[Topless64-455]

Goerge,
Where did you send it? I have a tach but it stops at 1000 rpms. I would like to send this one there.

Ed

[staged67gspwr]

no Ed sorry i dont know it off the top of my head,i would need to take mine apart to get you the #.

Thanks

[NickDFX]

YellowLark/Harry,

Yep, finding a Q-Panel is a pain but, I finally found a pretty good shop that actually found one and the chrome molding the same day for the very low price of one arm and only half a leg. I am still waiting for the Claims guy to pay $ though I aint waiting much longer. I may just pay myself and hope they cover it. She cleaned up real nice before. I had no plans to paint it until I had done everything else first. Nothing like the feeling of dropping a wrench on a brand new paint job..lol

[nailhead_sled]

[JR]

:TU: Looks like a 56 Century or Special. Tell me more Phil.

John Ross

[nailhead_sled]

Yup, '56 Special. Rebuilt original 322 (stock rebuild with the exception of a reground cam-274 int.-278 ex), Dynaslush trans(soon to be swapped for a 3spd stick), nosed, side trim shaved, cut coils (about 2" drop) 2" dual exhaust w/glasspacks (this was a major pain in the rear, as on original single exhaust cars the drivers side manifold exists towards the front of the car). Nothing major, just a daily driven mild custom.
As soon as I can locate a third Stromberg 97, I'll be swapping in a three deuce setup.

[BuickStreet]

Phil,

Your pic looks a bit squashed up there. Kind of like the beginning and end of a western movie. Send me the pic and I'll resize it nicely for you.

KEVIN said:Mygrain (I hope that's not from the car hobby) Do you know if a 455 will drop into that Skylark body? And if so, is it a direct swap or do new motor mounts have to be welded up?

You'll have to get new motor mounts from TA or find a set from a 1967 GS400. Its supposed to be a fairly simple swap. You need a new fan shroud too. Im eventually going to drop in a 1970 455 that Ive got laying around, but Ive got to freshen it up first. Im also going to use an electric fan instead of fooling around with fan shrouds.

Here is my GS. It's not #s matching, but was an original 3sp car, 1 of 9 '67 GS convrts. It also has the factory power disc brakes, odd combo with 3sp? It now has a Saginaw 4sp and will some day have a Tremec, like George's. I've painted it, added tach and gauges, and repaired the top mechanism. I also repainted the wheels argent silver, but have since found out they should be black. Anybody know what type of black paint should be used on the wheels, I was thinking semiflat?

[staged67gspwr]

Sellin it?

[opeltwinturbo]

Saw this one on the highway headed to the bone yard. Flagged down the guy and bought it on the side of the road. If you notice, its a V6. Might have to put a real V6 in it and go out looking for Doug Hecker:laugh: :laugh: .
Wouldn't RL die if this thing pulled up to the starting line at BG.

[PeteN]

Sorry George, I'll never sell. :grin:

[staged67gspwr]

No problem Pete i just figured i`d ask you never know.

Thanks
:TU:

[staged67gspwr]

well sold my `65 GS and just picked up my new `67 GS,check it out,its fully loaded i mean fully loaded,PW,PS,power seats,console,tach,power disc brakes,remote mirror,rear defrost,A/C,Tilt,speed warning buzzer,posi,original #`s matching.

[staged67gspwr]

and did i mention trunk light,currently sports a 9" currie rear but have the original 3.36 posi.

[Chris Lott]

VERY NICE!!! When did you pick this up? Mind giving us some details on how you found this deal, history of the car, etc? Cool!

[PeteN]

Nice car, George! 3.36? Does that mean it's a 4sp?? :grin: :TU:

[staged67gspwr]

Well acutally the car was a friend of mines,he is moving to europe and gave me first licks on it,original 4-speed yup.

Thanks

[staged67gspwr]

Did i mention it has that very hard to come by Pearl Yellow interior,i bet no on has ever seen that,code 193 pearl yellow.


Thanks

[Chris Lott]

The 30k mile car that Jarrod Campbell just picked up has the pearl yellow interior, check it out here: Thread (http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16431)

[staged67gspwr]

yup,good luck finding pearl yellow headliner and paint to paint windlace and stuff like that.:ball:

[NickDFX]

Hey George, maybe you should get a tow dolly, hook it to your new 67 and pull your old one. Then when you go places, you can have both at once. And switch when ya want.

vn score George, maybe by the time I make my way back East you'll be bored and looking to sell one.:Brow:

Nick

[Chris Lott]

Or maybe he needs a '67 Sportwagon to pull that trailer :Brow: matching color and wheels with the black one of course...:beer

[NickDFX]

Did Buick ever make an auto transport truck?...oh, but then he'd need to get 6 more Buicks to fill the truck. Wouldn't look right with just two.....:Brow:

[BlownNailhead]

Here is a picture of my old Riviera, it was my daily driver until I traded a friend for a 24 T roadster project. It is a 64 Body with a 65 front end on it. It was pretty bad shape when I got it, fixed a bunch of rust and repainted it. Did a bunch of small mechanical fix-ups and then it was a good driver, had a 401. It is lowered (obviously) 4 inches from stock. It rode real good and got a lot of attention. It still needed the complete interior redone and more fixing stuff, like the headlight motor, it was MIA when I got the car. I just got tired of dealing with it and wanted the roadster for fun cruising. This is not the same car as my blown nailhead Riviera, that one is a 63 Riviera.

[staged67gspwr]

lolol,i actually should get a sportwagon paint it black and tow my `67GS, now fellas check this out,and i knew this would happen as soon as i bought a car,i found a `67 GS Conv`t 4-speed that is awesome and what i originally wanted so i might throw this one on ebay or to someone looking for a `67 GS and buy the convertible one.


Thanks

[GS-XNR]

Hi George,
If you don't buy the convert how about giving us some info...where it is, condition, price, etc. I too was looking for a convert and bought a HT in the last month. You may recall we exchanged emails about the convert in your area.
Thanks

If I can figure out how I can get the pics down below 153K bytes then I can insert the pics but the pics that I am trying to post are 847K bytes; any suggestions?

[Chris Lott]

You can use paint or a similar program, or send them to me or a couple other people on the board and we can resize them for you. If you want to send them to me to be resized, PM me and I will give you my email addy. I use PhotoShop as do a couple of the others, and they come out much cleaner than using paint or similar programs. Just thought I would make the offer.

You can also put your car down there as many people do. Just thought I would pass that along, it makes things a little easier when you can address someone by their first name. :TU:

Only `67 GS 400`s came with them and `67 Riviera GS`s.


Thanks

[buickgs400]

Thanks all, everyone's car looks great! what a great forum.

[SpecialWagon65]

Good to see you on this board with a beauty car, too.
4-speed came with which gears in 67?

[buickgs400]

Ted,
The standard gear ratio for a 67 GS 4-speed is 3:36. The performance (non-special order) ratio was 3:55 (the order form that I received from the original owner indicates "performance rear" in which I checked the rear end and found that it was 3:55 gears).
That 66 Wildcat GS convertible (has the optional 3:42 rear)that I told you about is still parked in the storage yard (what a shame - top is gone with no protection) in which I keep checking every month to see if the owner has paid - yes, he keeps paying.
Take care Ted!

you can get away with the chevy engine becuase of the kinda 'street rod' classification. but i agree, a BBB would be nicer. still a cool car.:TU:

[skyphix]

I think a 425 with 6 strombergs would be the best :grin:

[Slick]

Great suggestion Eric!

[opeltwinturbo]

It's a shame to waste a good looking Buick to hide a 454 Chebby. Way too many Buick rods out there with bowties. It is still a nice looking 56. "That's because you can't see the 454".:Brow:

[65Lark]

Here is my new project.

[Topless64-455]

What are the plans? Have you had it long? Details,details,details.

[65Lark]

Man, just hungry for info arent we. LOL.
OK, some history. I've been in the 5.0 Mustang crowd for about 10 years now, until recently. I sold my 88 GT which ran in the high 12's with a bone stock 110k mile motor. All suspension work and gearing. Well, I had a 64 Lark back in college(15 years ago) and have always hated that i had to sell it(major Minnesota rust bucket). I had just sold my stang, and happened to be looking at collector car trader online, and saw a couple Skylarks for sale. 1 was a bit far away, but the other(the one I bought) was only 2 hours away. I went and looked at it, gave a deposit, and the seller delivered the car to me the next morning on his way to the Super Chevy race in Pomona. I paid a whopping 1500 for the car.
Plans - this is gonna be a street/strip/mild g machine. This weekend I'm picking up a 12 bolt rear, and some ported bowtie heads and an intake for the small block chevy that will end up in the car. The motor plans are simple: build a nice 383 bottom end, combined with the heads andintake and a carb i've had for a while. Second phase of the engine will see fuel injection and twin Grand National turbos. Power thru a built th400 or 700r4. I will make custom rear control arms, use Global West front susp pieces, with HAL coilovers at all corners.
The body will remain as close to stock appearing as possible, except for the wheels and tires. Interior will get the resto treatment also, except for a pair of nice seats, a rollcage and harnesses.
I've had the car for almost 2 weeks.
Here is another couple pics for ya.

Cool....more 65's to the flock...mine getting there slow but great!!!

[NickDFX]

and...

[NickDFX]

Hey guys, not that any of you need help but, since I've basicly removed every nut, bolt, and screw on mine, I've gained a great deal of knowledge on the ins n outs of these 65's...if you ask me before you start something, I might be able to help.

My project started with some rust in the back window that needed attention. Turned into total addiction. Now I have a garage full o Buick...lol

Going great! She's gonna be clean through n through. Bumper to bumper. Hoping for a June launch!!!

[RIVBUILDER]

Hey, 65lark if you put a stock 455 Buick in that car I'm sure you'll have more power than a 383 chevy.It would almost be a sin to put a chevy motor in such a nice car.

RIVBUILDER said:Hey, 65lark if you put a stock 455 Buick in that car I'm sure you'll have more power than a 383 chevy.It would almost be a sin to put a chevy motor in such a nice car.
I understand where you are coming from, but I dont want a big block in my car. I want the light weight and massive parts availability of the chevy. I've never been one for restorations and the orignallity part of this hobby. Hell, if it were real easy, I'd put the 347 Ford motor in the Skylark, but I wont.

Nick, I do have a question for you, check your PM's.

[NickDFX]

BTW Phil/65Lark,

You are mistaken about the parts quest. Now that you are a Buick owner, you will find there is no shortage on parts. (we'll just keep that as our little secret though, ok) There are plenty to be found through guys here at v8 aswell as links to all you'll need. As you already know I have purchased a garage full, most from one or two places. Spend some time with your project and put a list together of things you would like to do. Ask a question or two and be pointed down the Buick Highway!! Please forget the whole chevy thing, it really is not as quick a fix as you may think. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, you will be better off going all Buick all the time. Click around this board, do some searches, read and write some posts, and be enlightened!!

The wheels and tires are 15 inch and are 255/60 in the back and 235/60 in the front. I couldn't buy the BF's since there were French. The 14s are still on the 67 GS and I will be pulling the motor sometime soon. I have the core 455 for the 64 in the garage but the 67 comes first. I found out from JW it has big port heads:)
I hope eveything is going well with your little girl and if you are at the back to the 50's car show look for me or call me since I will be there.

Thanks:confused:

[Bill Bailey]

:cool:
George and Nick,
The seat material is red velour on the seating area and white leatherette on the sides I had him change the pattern of the rear seats so as to emulate the effect of rear bucket seats per his suggestion instead of the original pattern rear seat. The buttons are similar to the original pattern though. I opted for more of a custom feel than the original as found in Year One or OPG catalog. Hope this helps you understand that this car would be considered to be more of a slight custom than all original. I am going to put a white headliner and the exterior paint will be white pearl. I am also getting estimates of replacing all rubber trim and seals. Thanks for the opinions. Take care.

I don't know if you ever get out to the Java Hut in Langley on Friday or Saturday nights, but I'll be out there on Saturday (weather permitting). If you want to go, look for the car, I haven't seen any other '67 Electra's up here!

There seems to be one starting up on Monday's at the Tim Hortons in Coquitlam on United Blvd. I'm not driving my GS yet but if you plan on attending any of these let me know and I'll come by and meet you.
Cheers

Harvey,

Are you driving a Buick done to Puyallup on Saturday (BTW, good spelling, just don't try to pronounce it!)?

Stop by my car and find me, would enjoy meeting you after our chat's about the 67 GS.

Are you going to take a look at it as well?

Hi Chris,
Right now I don't have a Buick to drive. That was part of my motivation to look at the GS in storage. (It's running!) I haven't heard from Mark about viewing the car so I've pretty much forgotten about it. Also, I've just made a deal with speedybuickgs1 for a frame and body which I have to pick up in Montana so I think I've got enough on my plate now. We've had company for the past two weekends so my wife would like to do something. Even if I don't look at the 67 GS a trip to Seattle might be in order... she can shop and I'll go to the show. By the way, where is the show in Puyallup.

Harvey,

The show in Puyallup is at the old Buick auto dealership, which doesn't help you one bit. I know how to get there, but I would be hard pressed to give someone else good enough directions.

Here is an email address for Greg Powers, who is one of the officers of the Buick Club, he should be able to get you some good directions: powersfam@qwest.net

See you at the Ethyl Pump!

Here is my moneypit!:grin: This is my 3rd Buick and my 2nd GS. My first Buick was a "69 LeSabre Custom 400 option car. Oh, the fun I had mowing down the IROC Camaros and Trans Ams of the day with it!!
:blast:

This one was originally a California car, so it is very clean.

Tim,
Nice Riv. Your car looks great with those wide tires and the chrome on the engine.

Hey George
I saw that you had the "black beauty" on ebay. Did it sell? Also do you still have the red 29,000 miler? I'm just curious is all.
Cheers

Beautiful car. The '67 Riv is one of my all time favorites. I just missed out on a beaut here a few years ago. A loaded GS with 18,000 orig miles. Pristine! I kick myself every time I think about it.

Found some old pics, thought I would post them. This WAS my 64 Skylark, sold it two summers ago to buy my GN. It was an all original (except for the battery, tires (had them still) and part of the exhaust) 24k mile car. Even the belts and hoses were original.

Should have kept that car...
