All, This is one of those last ditch efforts that probably will never turn up anything, but hey, you never know!!! So here it goes! My 1972 GS455 started life in California and was purchased May 31, 1972 from Bechner Buick Inc. in Monrovia, CA. I do not know the original owner of the vehicle but have registrations from the 80's from a gentleman named Jeffrey RIchmond in Oceanside California and was last registered there in 1988. VIN: 4G37U2Z127794 July 20, 1987 the car was sold to a James Wakefield in Maine. He then last registered it in 1995. From there he sold it to a Ben Battles May 5, 2005 in which sold me the car April 2008. If anyone has 1972 455 Engine with these numbers.... please get a hold of me :TU:
