68 GS California

Not my car....here is the info:

350 two barrel , original motor was blown in early 70's replaced with later 350( info from 1st owners)
beautiful project car ,motor just needs starter and tune up . needs new interior but very little rust . floor and trunk in good condition. grille is cracked bad, but magician could probably save. call or email for more details and pictures $2800 also comes with 68 custom no motor. Will try and put pics of custom online thx scott 2062934288 or lescottt@yahoo.com

 

Just found out....cars are in Seattle WA

 

I was going to try to go look at this this morning- need a good car for allt hat GS400 stuff I just pulled:beer

 

I did not get to go see the 68 GS, but I did see and buy "the parts car" Terrance is a straight up fella and it sounds like that GS would be a deal for $2800- I actually hope he does not have to sell it so he can finish it!

 

Here are some pics I took today of the "parts car" from Terrance's ad. I plan to pick it up on Friday, after one more inspection. I have visions of restoration / street / strip sleeper.

 

I am weekening and will be looking at the other car also tomorrow.....I Just Can't Resist.......:spank:

 

So let us know what you find out take some pics

 

According to this vin decoder http://user.dtcc.edu/~rod/buick/buickvin.html

that is not a real GS vin plate?

 

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the GS California's were built on Skylark chassis and body, so they'll have a Skylark VIN. o No:

 

Mark- Should have a Special Deluxe VIN. The California was an 'option' that was on the Special Deluxe line. The only- ONLY- sure fire way to prove a Cali GS is by a BUILDSHEET ONLY!!! Standby for links...

You bought that car as a parts car?

It looks like an excellent car to fix up and drive--you west coast guys are so lucky!

I know this may be wrong to ask, but how much does a "parts car" like this set you back.

I'm sure the answer will make me sick!

I'm going to Las Vegas in March and will probably go nuts over the quality of the cars that are in the junk yards out there.

Thanks

 

33 = Deluxe L6 (1968-69). What is L6?

 

Chevy straight 6.

 

Straight 6 engine- which was the base engine for those.

PS: I missed what you were trying to say in that PM??? :beers2:

 

What are the hub caps? I dont remember seeing them beforeo No:

 

Mark- give me a call... PM coming

 

Interesting stuff guys about the GS California. I go look at 10:30 today and likely will be dropping the coin for it. I will keep us all posted.

 

The look like '66 covers.

 

I am going to give it the weekend to decide on the Cali car.

 

I Like it !! Congrats ... though I've never seen a Y pipe installed like that before uzzled: o No: ou:
