Original green paint on the whole car with white pinstriping and half vinyl top. Curious car, has the 455 badge where the stage 1 badge should be on front fenders. AC pump, cruise unit on fender missing along with the whole interior has been removed. A small amount of rot in bottom of drivers quarter otherwise a dry car. Will be alot of work but very restorable. Also has the painted ralleyes with trim rings and posi with F41 suspension. :TU: :TU:
Sounds like a good score Mike, I am now convinced if their is a Buick within 4000 miles of Idaho it is not even worth going after as by the time I call its in your garage. LOL Bill
Neat! Neat! Neat! Have you contacted Eric B. yet? He's got the scoop on all '73 Stage cars. I wouldn't sweat the lack of an emblem on the fender. The factory screwed that up regularly. The first GS I ever rode in was a '71 GS455 that had Buick Motor Division fender emblems, correct for a 350". This was back in 1981, before any hanky panky was going on with emblems. Clones were not even in the car worlds vocabulary yet. Here's the '73 link: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=123153
Brian, Yes I was pretty stoked when my buddy called me and told me it had a V in the VIN and it had chrome valve covers. He picked it up for me. I sent a note to Eric, Marco, and Pat Harmon. Cool!! :TU: :TU:
AWESOME. I remember looking at the ad when Brian first posted the link and thinking what a great deal that would be for someone. Make sure you get the papers from Sloan. A car this old may have been in a fender bender and had the fenders replaced. You can check the date codes on the front fenders to see if they are original. :beer
Interesting things about this car...I have seen other cars that had differences than what were supposed to be on them. I am requesting a few pics as well...If you think of it,pm me the last digits of the VIN so I can make a file for it. I have been starting to work on cars I have info for and have a lot of catching up to do...
