Serious inquiries please. Message me with any questions.
It is. Also has a 71 front bumper and is missing the rad supt cross braces. Other issues as well. I does look nice in the pics though.
It is pretty …. I don’t see GS badges on the door panels either. I’ve seen plenty of GS’s with no clock, but (at least me) have never saw one with idiot lights instead of oil pressure & temperature gauges? I guess the VIN will tell if it’s real or not.
Wow, this is a very early car, VIN # 100145 (VINs started at 100001). I own VIN 100048 & 100469 so this car for sale on FB may have crossed paths in the Flint plant with one or both of my cars.
Randy is correct. Only a '72 GS convertible with the deluxe interior will have a GS emblem. And it looks really strange too because it is not centered on the armrest. This is a rough, unrestored '72 GS convertible as an example. A convertible GS in '72 with a deluxe interior has the same seat pattern as a hardtop but the door panels are different (no carpet at the bottom and no simulated woodgrain). A '72 GS hardtop with the deluxe interior has the simulated woodgrain on the door panels and carpet at the bottom but still does not have a GS emblem. A 1972 GS with the standard interior has no carpet and no GS emblem. Also, the V as the 5th digit of the VIN indicates that the car in the FB ad is a true Stage 1. The car in the FB ad has door panels from a 1969 Buick, installed, not 1972 door panels.
VIN 100048 is a Flame Orange Stage 1 convertible that we acquired in 2011 from a friend that had found the car around 2005 languishing in someone's backyard after the owner had passed away. VIN 100469 is a very basic Sandalwood 2-door Skylark that I bought in 1997 from a guy in the school dorms (his grandparents bought it new) and I used it for daily transportation for many years. I still wonder why Buick put the emblem offset toward the front rather than centered above the armrest. Maybe they didn't want you to hit it with your hand when reaching to close the door?
