Here is a real suggestion and I won't rip you. If what you say is true, I would buy them and trade them for a nice 69 Stage 1 car. If they are Stage 1 cars each of them in rough shape should go a long way towards buying the car you want. Than when you get the cars you can say I told you so to all of the guys that ripped you. If you don't get the cars than they were right. That is an idea not a flame.
Not goping to rip either but 3 totalled rusted 70 Stage 1s are worth less than a nice 4 spd 69 stage 1. Look at the price of Stage 1 cars and you'll see that a 69 is pretty close to a 70 price. Thats interesting that you found these cars in a junk year and I have no reason to disbelieve you. I will say that if you pick them up I'll be looking for some stuff.

It was no way a driver,and as you can see needed total restoration.Though the engine started and the frame was solid you are looking at a major investment,and 70-72 stage cars are not going to be cheaper,possibly more.Good luck in you search.Tom.
Wow that's pretty crusty.:ball: I'm surprised how good the entire dash/bezel area looks considering the shape the rest of the car is in.
Oh-for cryng out load.....:spank: he just looking for a car.... give the guy a break....:spank: :idea2: buy those 3 stage1's....and do what you have to do with them .... you found them you make the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and then buy the 69 your looking for......:bglasses: let me know.... you may have a part or two I need :Brow:
John If 67 GS contacts me,I'll get back to you on parts and bring them with me to St looey when I see you. gary
Buicks #1 selling point in my mind is the rarity of the 60s cars. How many are left? Considering that most people would crush a gs for the money to buy a chevelle. I got lucky to get mine, and someone stuffed a 454 into it! Take what you can get is all I'm saying. I would guess maybe 25% of the 69 400s are left leaving 2,000 overall. and maybe just a few hundred stage 1's are still out there. Anybody?
Hello i can take a half day off work this weekend!! you can come down and meet me at the junk yard make sure you bring a couple of very big friends :eek2: bad part of town and good boots mud and oil is very deepou: talk to you soon:beers2:
Here is a 69 Stage 1 on craigslist for 12,000. http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/car/588517607.html Good Luck
Lets meet at a fast food or something close by and go over together,ok?I don't want to get lost.Is sat afternoon good? gary
Here are a couple more.I can't wait for the gentleman that bought it to show the completed restoration.
uzzled: uzzled: uzzled: yeah right....anyone wants to give me 15.000.00 for my drivable resto project come and get it..... it needs a 5335 handle and a back drive.... I'm tired of looking for parts for this 69 and looking for stupid 4 speed parts too...... 4 speeds suck.....:spank:
Pretty cool stories out of all.. That is a cool survivor Stage 1 Tom.. Hard to find in any conditon let alone compleate like that.. There is one on the auction block at Barrett Jackson this year.. Around number 660 1969 GS 400 4 speed car Red with Pearl interior Air car from Arizona.. This is a buddys car and should do well.. Hope it goes threw the roof..
Big difference between a driver and a driveable project. You probably should sell that 4speed and buy yourself an automatic because you seem pretty miserable about having to find parts for it. Oh yeah, 4speeds suck.......right:3gears: BTW I've seen six 5335 for sale over the last month. Not a problem finding that right now.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I figured I'd get someone with that one... yes I 'm getting tired of looking for those parts....at least I didn't pay 500 for the wrong parts....:eek2: :bla: :bla: :bla: :bla: :bla: :bla: :idea2: this is the right stuff :idea2: also I have both 4 speeds and automatics :Brow: and while they don't suck but they are overrated....
I think I know what's right and what's wrong for my car. Let me know when you find the right stuff for a 69. Meanwhile I'll be driving my car with 70-72 linkage that no one can see anyway, while you are searching for the right stuff.:spank: Also let me know what you pay for a 5335 shifter. I got over $300 worth of linkage with mine. Do the math and tell me what I paid for a correct buick shifter and handle. :idea2:
