I think it was Guide to Muscle Cars magazine because I ran across my copy recently. If I can put my hands on it again I'll scan it and post it here. I also have some photos of the car from the GS Nats in the 90s that I'll try to find.
Not quite as great a story but my '71 GS convertible was special ordered by a single lady. She "didn't want the big engine" unfortunately, lol. She did option it out pretty nicely though (incl. N25 & posi) & picked a great color combo. She traded in a '68 Skylark convertible. There were some ladies into cool cars back then. My 6th grade teacher special ordered a pink '74 Mustang convertible.
My kindergarten teacher Mrs. Jacka had a little red Porsche back in 1970 Shoulda got a pic of it with my phone
Could you imagine, lol. I take way more pics now. I was terrible at it back then. Of course wouldn't want much of what we did back then documented.
It'd still be worth trying to run that down. I'd put $ on it that the car hasn't moved. I think we'd have somehow heard about it by now if it had.
Wow, I have never seen a Buick wheel like that.. Kinda looks like it will take a hup cap but with the trim ring and center emblem it becomes a rally type wheel??
Boy oh boy I’d have a TON of cool pics if we had cell phones with cameras back in the “old days” Back then you had to mentally think “I wanna take some pics, so I gotta bring my camera, oh geez, gotta get film, batteries, maybe flash cubes” Nowadays it’s just a reach in your pocket
That is what the Super Sport wheels looked like in 71-72. The 70 wheels with the same name are a completely different design, hence all the confusion with these wheels. Duane
And then to add even more confusion, in '70 there were F4 "Sport Wheels" (15" w/G60-15) and V7 "Super Sport Wheels" (14")
Years ago I bought a 70 Stage-1 4-speed from the same area Vickie Jo lived. This car was also originally owned by a female and was purchased new in the greater Cincinnati/northern KY area. It was brown on brown, bench seat and was originally equipped with wire wheel covers! I obtained Sloan documentation on it. The original wheel covers were long gone but the car was otherwise mostly original. I found an old registration in the glove box for a VW Beetle that had the original owners name and address on it and was able to contact her.
Our first GS and what I came home from the hospital was a 71 GS350 burnished cinnamon n25,.sport mirrors,..super sport wheels,..standard interior and AC kinda strange option load
