You got your water pump installed? Hopefully, the weather will improve in the next couple of days, so Geri and I can make a run up to your place in the GN. Nando.

Johnny: Warmer weather and dry streets can't come soon enough. If you do come to Squamish with your 4-speed, let me know in advance, so I can let my cousin know. He once owned a fully-optioned black 1970 GS350 automatic. He bought it in about 1981 and I went to see the car with him when he bought it for $2700 CAD in downtown Vancouver. I had my 1970 Buick Skylark Custom at the time. I then bought my 1972 GS 350 with GSX option package in 1982 and he followed up by buying a Saturn Yellow 1970 non-Stage 1 GSX for about $3900 CAD. We had four Buicks between us - blue, black, orange and yellow - terrorizing our little town. Couple of old photos from my album: First picture is of my uncle, Leo, by my cousin's 1970 GSX. Nando.
Pretty sure I seen your blue car at the drive in theatre near Patullo Bridge in Surrey about 40 years ago.
I bought my 1970 Skylark Custom in 1980. Although, I didn't go to the drive-in theatre near the Patullo Bridge, the previous owner might have. However, I did a lot of Buick parts hunting in the car salvage yards on Scott Road, just off the Patullo Bridge. The car looked different from the photo I posted above. It was always blue, but had custom pinstriping and a pin-striped outline of a Skyhawk around the L-88 hood scoop, when I bought it. The pinstriping had been done by Doc James. It would have looked closer to this picture, but without the side-pipes and Center Line front rims and would have been pinstriped.
I spent many a Saturday on wrecker row. If you needed a part and one didn't have it you just went to the next one. Bought GS hoods for $150- $200 back then. The good old days !
put a 100 miles on her today. beautiful day ice off the lake, fishing is good and sking is also. Whistler mountain in the background right.... blackcomb mountain left side. car is driving nice but lots of cops on the road so had to control the speed johnny
Nice pictures, Johnny. Geri and I headed out to Porteau Cove Provincial Park in the GN, yesterday, after the chores were done. Nando.
