Let's see some black on black,black on white whatever you got!!Hope the MAN don't get the wrong impression here!! :laugh:
'70 Gs 455 Here's an old and not so great picture of my '70 GS 455 Convertible that is currently triple black. Originally it was Diplomat Blue with a white interior and a white top and was one of the 17 with a 3 speed manual. It goes into the body shop this spring to go back to the original color. Ken
Going to be hard to find a pic of a real one as I believe there were 13 black GS converts made in 70 (11 Flint and 2 Freemont) so 71 and 72 were be even fewer. John Schmidt has a 71 and there is another 71 that I believe a member's mother bought new under resto.
Jim,I was just curious if you know or know somebody who knows how many 71 Custom convertibles were made ?
I like the combo!!! Kinda what I'm going for. Right now mine is black with the white top and pearl interior but I really like the triple black look.I live in Iowa so the interior heat during the summer won't be so much of an issue. :TU:
Mike Trom, Marco and some others have the dailey cars reports for 71 I think. A very helpful and sharp group here.
Jeff I probably should have said that based on the relative numbers of overall production in 70 versus 71 and 72 there likely would be fewer in 71-72 than in 70. I do not know the actual 71-2 code 19 numbers. Is your car a code 19?
Sorry that is the Fisher code for black paint. The sales code was A. I think the fancy name was Regal black. So a 19B in a code 67 Buick A body was black paint and a black convert. top. A 188 Trim is black interior. It would be on the cowl tag.
I wonder how many triple black 70 skylark convertibles there were? i had one of those back in the early 90's.
Thanks for that Jim. I had heard it somewhere before but couldn't remember.My CRS( Can't Remember S%#$) is acting up again. :grin:
