Finally got some pics of my old Buick. It's been my daily driver for almost 2 years now. It's has all of the number matching stuff. (engine U-code, trans, axle, carb.) It has 86,324 miles.
Thank You, It's been a labor of "turd polishing" so to speak. When I bought it it only had 69,xxx miles on it, but it hadn't been really well taken care of. It's on GS Nasty's web site. My garage floor is still stained with the old paint from sanding and polishing. New seals, door pins, replacement interior plastics, decals, engine supertuning, ect. These old 73-77 Collinades make great drivers. They do everything pretty well, but for fuel economy. 12 mpg is about avg. Good luck on your V-code Stage, parts for these things are out there, just harder to find. BTW- I sure could use a dome light lens if anyone has one.
Let me know if you ever need any front disc parts. I have the spindles, rotors and calipers off one of these. To you they would be cheap!
John, How have you been. How's those cars coming along? Didn't you say that you had a upper hose. I ordered the upper and lower, but I got the T-code ones. I think I found out the differance between a T-code and a U-code.ou:
Yep, I have a couple NOS second gen 455 hoses. I am pretty sure they are correct for your ride. If you want to stop by and look let me know. Still have my number?
Thanks everyone!! It's going to be hard not to drive it everyday soon... My daughter goes to Mizzou (tank and a 1/2) and my father lives in Nashville, TN. (almost 2 1/2 tanks) He's turning 70 so I need to be a good son and start making more trips!!! I ordered a 2009 Challenger R/T back in Nov. 08, but it seems that Mopar can't get there act together to build the damn thing. Or maybe it's just South County Dodge. John I'll give you a call this week. I want to see your progress with your cars anyway.
Everywere I go, people slow down beside you, wait at the door of store to talk about it. I makes it fun to drive a old car, like walking with a puppy!!!
SWEEEET!! Love that color. I don't have one of them yet!! Really looks good. Enjoy the car! The 73'3 RULE:Smarty: :TU: :Smarty:
