    The previous owner was Randy,he owned it some 35 plus years.I helped him put a B4B intake on it when he was 18.

    GS Kubisch THE "CUT-UP" BUICK

    Back in the early 80s I spent weekends at my Grandparent's. They lived a few streets away from Randy. I was always on my bike "exploring". I was riding over to admire a 70 Chevelle that I had seen several times before. That's when I saw your GS in a garage.
    I approached Randy's Father (because you could do that in the 80s) and then Randy came out. He backed the car out and let me check it out. My interest in 70 Chevelles was declining at that point and I would frequently visit Randy and the GS. (I was a few years off from driving).

    There was a Penn/Ohio meet in Columbus in 1986 or so.
    That was about 2 1/2 hours South but somehow at age 15 I had a hotel room for the weekend and arranged for a ride to drop me off and stay the weekend with the understanding that Randy and his Dad would drive me home that Sunday to my Grandparents.

    It's a cool car and I was surprised to hear Randy would even think of parting with it. Glad to see it being appreciated again.

    Randy's dad was a cool guy,Randy has always called me his step dad, Randy's dad passed way a few years ago. I was surprised as well that Randy needed to sell Goldilocks,and told me first, Sandy told me to buy it,she always loved it.The understanding was I'd keep it at least a year in case Randy had sellers remorse, and if I sold it I'd make sure it got a good home and not a flipper. We had it several years and enjoyed it as Randy did, but as age is creeping in 7 cars is just too much for me anymore. I let Randy know our intentions and he was good with it,he has a GN now which fits his personal needs better that the GS,hence the sale.I never really advertised it everywhere to keep interested parties to be sincere, I found the current owner and after talking to him many times and meeting him personally I am confident that she is in good hands.
