    Hi guys,

    Here are some pictures of my 1972 GS 455 Stage 1 4-Speed that Scott Miller and I refer to as one of 101 plus one (clone)

    Most of the credit on the development of this car goes to Scott Miller. I bought this car a while back and it has been a blast to own and drive. I just added some of my own touches to a already great car like a 3:42 posi , N.O.S. correct carburetor , dual underdrive pulleys , short console and some small cosmetic improvements.

    Scott took a 72 GS 350 bench seat automatic and changed it to a car that even the Buick people need to see the V.I.N. to tell that is one of 101 plus one. Hope all you all enjoy this.

    My daily driver

    Thanks Chris, I bought the 1984 Buick wagon for $150.00 and did a complete frame off restoration. I pulled the 3.0 V6 and installed a 3.8 V6. I Overhauled the trans with performance clutches and a light shift kit, install factory style dual exhaulst, F-41 front sway bar, ralley dash with gauges and a factory tachometer, Park Avenue material for the seats, Its a special ordered car. I saved this car from its maker because it sat on a repair shop lot with a locked up engine ready to go some where no Buick lover want them to go. So if you hear a 20 year old Buick wagon sounding a lot like a Grand National running in the fast lane its probably me. IDOXLR8 :laugh: AL

    Very Nice AL,
    Don't go burning rubber and all that good stuff because Tony has the same Maryland plate "stage 1' in regular tags on his 70 "Stage 1".
    I didn't think they would issue the historic with the same "stage 1 ' We have "stage 2" historic on the wagon and "GSX" regular plates on the "X". Maybe we need to get a picture of all the cars together with the plates.
