    Ok, I hauled my car through clinton mo, a few months ago and a guy at the gas station struck up a conversation...he was informed on buicks and asked questions about my stage 1. He then said his friend had a bunch...and told me how to get there.

    Today on the way to my in-laws I stopped and his son was there

    Shed 1
    2- 56 buicks, one a white hardtop, and one a post green
    - 1 63 lesabre with a very straight body
    - 65 gto
    - 72 skylark pretty good condion
    - 2 85-87 regals

    shed 2
    - 1970 chevelle SS
    - 1970 Buick GS STage 1 four speed (partially completed) dark green
    - 1968 z-28 with no engine
    - Couple of other cars i cant remember

    Shed 3 (unbelievable) all gs's
    - 68 GS 400, stick
    - 69 gs stage 1 4-spd
    - 70 gs 350
    - 70 stage 1 4-spd
    - 73 gs 455 (stage 1 i believe) 4 speed
    - 2 other 70-72 gs 455's
    - several 70-72 hoods, and other parts

    other cars on property...multiple GN's, several other skylarks

    owner stated on other property an entire other building of gs's

    fyi, none of the cars were restored and most had been sitting for years, had to wipe an inch of dust off just to look in windows...

    next time i will try and get some pics.

    Just when you think there not out there,

    Wow Mike, please, please get some pics!

    I visited a local guy that had a 65 GS 4 speed car.....he had another 20+ cars in the barn. The highlights were a 1950's Chrysler 300 with dual quads and a real Mustang BOSS 429!

    There is some good stuff out there...you have found quite a stash!:TU:

    the lesabre ran when they parked it, the 56 buick hard top ran, the gs 350 ran...and several others.

    I got the feeling that some of the stuff could be bought...but I didnt ask.

    staged70 RIP

    Do tell many would like to know if any of the the Stage 1 4spd's are for sale

    I am sure this is a well known story but a well known Mustang collector was in Mexico on vacation and showing some pics to his new friends and when a pic of his beloved Boss 429 was seen a local gentleman says he has one of those. A short very quick trip to his Casa ended with this collector looking at a 69 Boss 429 with no engine being used as a dog house. He posted pics in Mustang Monthly. After making several trips to Mexico he bought 13 rare cars including a notchback Shelby that is documend and now restored. He found a 69 L88vette and yes bought that too. Seems like a lot of these cars went south across the border.
