    I'm checking in. I had posted a few pix of my car but I had forgotten to formally introduce myself. As my name would suggest, I'm a former Marine 1968-1976. I did get to see southeast Asia and 5 different state-side duty stations. I've also been a Mopar guy all of my life(69) but I wanted something different. This is my second Buick, my first being a 1980 Regal. The car I have is a DSC09549.JPG DSC09547.JPG DSC09543.JPG DSC09564.JPG DSC09536.JPG 1970 GS350. I purchased the car last summer from the second owner. He has driven out to Denver and purchased the car from the original owner and brought it back to Milwaukee. He did little to the car in the 21 years he had it. The car is just about 95% original. The paint, top, interior, engine and all the odds and ends are original. We had the original carb rebuilt last year and we've driven the car perhaps 700 miles to various car shows. We moved upstate in Wisconsin in October and hope to take in the car shows up here in the Appleton area.

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    Thank You for Your Service and Welcome! With the black top, I was expecting likewise interior. I like the camel. I also noticed what looks like an Imperial in the other stall.
