    Wisconsin Buicks

    This is a challange to all the Wisconsin and Snow covered states to get out there and take some snow covered cars. This is my 70 GS I picked up 15 years ago. It orginally had Brown interior with the Bamboo Cream exterior. It looked like an old pair of underware. This car was my salvation when I went through Divorce. There is nothing out there that has the same satifaction of going out and starting this beast up on the first day of spring.

    The car in the background is a 71 GS 455 Stage 1. I just got the engine rebuilt and as soon as I get my friends 68 oldsmobile gets out of my garage, The Stage is going to go on the rotisory for some much need patch work.

    I have looked all though the pictures and stories. Great Job all you guys on your projects!!!! :TU: This kind of feedback gives me the itch to go out and work on my projects. KEEP THESE PICTURES COMING!!!!!!!SPARKPLUG.

    Type your message...... then before you hit the "submit reply " button, scroll down to the button that says "manage attachments". A small window should pop up and you should be able to use the browse button to find a photo on your computer. I think the recommended limits are no larger than 640x480, and the file size must be below 150kb. If you have a photo that you can't figure how to post or resize, you can email it to me and I can size it and post it for you if you would like! :)

    I just made a 14 hour roundtrip to Mass. to pick this up yesterday. Thanks to my brother, Dave, for sharing driving duties! It's a 48,000 mile '72 Skylark, 350. I just put the wheels on it this morning, they are 16x8 rear and 16x7 front Torque Thrusts.

    The body is in real nice shape. There was minor rust repair on it but it was mostly rust free. It still has the original exhaust system on it. It's been garaged most of it's life. The color is very close to it's original Crystal Blue.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Glad you like the car. It was always a blast to drive and never let me down!

    Kinda sad to see it go..but I think Ken will take good care of it.

    Wheels look great! I was partial to the ralle wheels, but those do look great.
