    Hey Steve!

    I was just talking about that motor the other day.

    I'm going to PM you (start a conversation) so check your inbox in a bit.

    I had a chance to chat with the gentleman who owned the car the longest - from 1981 ish until 2016 - and he was kind enough to send me some pictures of Lord Vader from the early years, doing what it was born to do. :)

    I just couldn't wait any longer!

    I needed a dosage today - as the snow is scheduled for later on this afternoon.

    Floor mats really seem to "finish off" the interior.

    The Buick Hawk plate was a staple back when I was a kid - covering my walls with Buicks from Musclecar Review. :)

    The mats make your interior. Good add there.

    I should also mention that the car bag is the real deal.

    The car looked just as it did when I tucked it away a couple months ago.

    The best year some might say. I like the looks of the 68/69 cars too. Did any body lines change in 1970.

    At the very least, it's the best year in terms of performance.

    Yes - the body lines underwent significant changes for 1970.
