  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

1967 gs convertible...needing parts

    Bought my first buick at a swap meet about 2 months ago. Wasn't 100% sure it was a gs400 or not. Bought it anyway as it was a good price for a convertible in this shape.

    Ran the vin on the door pillar and everything points to a true gs 400 vert.
    --446677B100818 car had the last registration paper(1985) with the same vin, so all is good.
    --has all the interior and exterior badges(except grille)
    --has the center console with the tach.

    Here is where I need the help:
    --front grille is non-gs, headlight bezels have the cut out for the grille to fit in and the current grille fits in that cutout(probably special)
    --Hood is non-gs and has the spear(probably special)
    --Engine is a 340-2
    --buckets were replaced with later model highbacks(will probably put Procar lowbacks in eventually)

    not sure how this came about(accident or replacement) but I want to get it back to the gs hood and grille. Would also like to get it to a 400 block, 400-430-455 is fine. It will be a driver.

    Let me know what you got.
