My highschool girlfriend had cousins in the Kissinger family. Her sister was married to a Nixon. ....Not those Kissingers. , Not those Nixons.... (true story)
Called the guy with the 70 GS and confirmed a Sunday AM visit. If all goes well, I should have some pics up of this load by afternoon
Strange.. None of the story's from my life that start out "I was minding my own business when" have happy endings.
OK, went this morning and picked it up the 70 GS. Its pretty beat but it was a good deal. Car runs and drives. NOM 455. Has a factory in dash tach. 3.42 posi rear, A/C, disc brakes, and a sport steering wheel. Car was hit in the nose pretty good but the hood came out unscathed. The guy who had it put a whole polyurethane front end in it and stainless steel brake lines. I offered him $800, he countered at $1200 and we agreed on $900. In with the deal, he threw in a box of goodies- Buick parts and illustration catalogs in near mint condition, the original protecto plate and dealer folder, NOS hood seal plates, NOS power steering box rebuild kit, a set of repro foam seals, a Fisher body manual, a dual roller timing set, and other asst tidbits. And if that wasn't enough, an NOS rear bumper!! :TU: Im actually thinking about getting this pig mechanically sound and driving it to Ohio next year for the BPG nats. They're still out there fellas!! keep looking!
GOOD GAWD!!! Watch yer step pal... as an antique car guy, I gotta say that "survivors" with patina bring as much as amateur restored jobs. Leave it like it is and make it produce fire out the stacks! Surprise them Camry guys LOL... I would've been thrilled to find something like that. Wave yer wand over this way would ya???? ws
