I for one think that its a pretty cool car. If its one of one, then that makes it worth alot. Granted, the 3 speed trans makes the car slower, and less fun. I'd rather have a four speed or an automatic, who wouldn't. o No: Defenatly a cool, one of a kind ride :Brow: As far as prices for parts, its definatly crazy. Parts are expensive. that is that. Funny thing is, Without specialist website like this one, prices would be insane. Sites like these drive the prices down!! way down. I wouldn't even know where to begin to look for Sport mirrors, or a GS grill with out the internet. Other than junkyard scavenging, and swap meets there aren't to many sources. Lets face it, finding Buick parts at a swap meet is about as easy as finding a GS in a junkyard that hasn't had all the good parts picked off it. :Smarty: This site drives prices down, and makes finding parts so easy.
I am glad this car is showing the price it is. most of us here are like me and are interested in the most perfrmance oriented version of anything we may buy. but that is no reason to start bad mouthing something because it isnt and isnt what you would want.
Who are you??? Truck455, there was no malice intended with my little picture above, was just going for a laugh. I don't know your socio-economic status, but for most of us "little people" spending more than $100K for anything but a home is pretty much out of reach. If you are of a social level that can afford to pass around that kind of cash for a car (given it is a 1 of 1) then more power to you! :beer regards
John, Just for the record, if I had and extra 140k or so burning a hole in my pocket, I'd be crusing this one down the road. Unfortunately, I cannot even afford your other 70. As far as the bashing, I believe it's the ugliness of envy showing it's face. There isn't anyone here lining up to sell below market value. Dave
GEEEEE .... I've got two 70 stage1 engines SS code and a 72 stage 1 engine WS code how about 50.000.00 each uzzled: :eek2:

Thanks Mark - I was just wondering if the VINs on the engines were associated with a car in the registry. Imagine getting a call 20 years later - Hello, I have your original engine. :bglasses:
that would be K:eek2: :eek2: L but it's highly unlikely the third car exists when I got my 72 skylark it had the engine trans and rear end from a 70 stage1 :Brow: it also had the front clip and trunk lid from the same car the fenders and bumper were damaged so they got tossed :ball: thats why it has the front clip from the 72 stage1 I still have the hood,grill,air cleaner and emblems :Brow: now all I need is a stiped out rust free non A/C 70 stage 1 body and im in business :Brow: :Brow: :Brow: :Brow: :3gears: :bglasses: :TU: :TU:
