Pittsburgh estate sale 1970 GS - check out the paint!

John,
The pants on that guy look like they would go with the interior in the 71 Skylark Show car with the snake skin interior.

Ryan,
Congrats on the car. I would bet some people on this board have saved some of the aftermarket parts you will be looking for. (Not that any of us are old enough to have actually put those parts on our cars.)
I think it's great to see another "Crazy" Buick come out of the woodwork.
Duane

PS. Am I seeing a Holly 3-bbl in the box in the trunk??? It sure looks like it to me. I might need to get some measurements off the chrome fuel line.

 

Thanks JohnKaz for posting and congratulations Ryan on your purchase

 

Ryan, congratulations on getting the car and on your plans for it! If the Power Tour comes near your area you should definately drive it there.

 

Congrats Ryan! Will enjoy watching what you have planned.

 

The power tour is my dream. I would absolutely love to drive this car on a power tour.

 

Jealous! Congratulations, sounds like you're doing exactly what I'd do to it. Going to be awesome!

 

Ryan, the Tour starts in Concord, NC at Zmax Dragway on June 8th.

 

Jim,
This is NOW my goal. I have always dreamed of having a cool old GS to go on the power tour with and this one will be a blast. Being its going to start only about an hour away from my home this is the perfect time to do it if I am ever going to make it happen.

 

Power tour 2019 route.

 

Well done Ryan can't wait for the new thread it will go viral....
Also I can't wait until it gets in a magazine article! You know it will.
Congrats bud now the next couple of nights and no sleep until she arrives.....

 

Congrats on your new car! I hope it's all good for you. It's a nice piece of history that should be fun to show and drive.

 

I agree with everyone here - very cool time capsule! Glad you got it and that it won't be hacked apart.
Just thinking out loud... how much do figure a paint job like that would cost today?

 

Done correctly on clean prepped sheet metal, with quality materials 10k plus

 

Congrats Ryan!!
looking forwards to seeing it on the tour!!
deffo you are going to get swamped with people looking at the car.


heres whats left of what i think?
is the other pittsburgh show car.
to the fella who saw it in the world of wheels,please lmk if this is same car??

this was a 72 stage 1 350 4 speed car,when he got it it had a 455 in it.
warning,for the faint of heart,dont look at the pics,shes far gone.
theres very Little left here,i made a deal w him today for the entire shell/remnants soooo if you can use something lmk.
ps,this cars flares are metal,not bondo or glass BUT it has HUGE chunks of bondo on the upper roof/quarters where they " blended " that roofline in.

 

Could be the same car. How many 4 speed cars had the top chopped?
Wish I could find my old photos from back then.

 

ikr,i tried googling world of wheels pics but that didnt quite work out for me...
ps,heres the vin off the car.
didnt see a body tag.

 

Congratulations Ryan! 200R4 might be another option & keep the 4.56. Can't recall how that works out with the OD, but probably streetable. Can't wait to see it cleaned up.

 

4.56 with a .67 overdrive(200-4r) = 3.05 final drive ratio.
