  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

    Guys, I just consigned this car to the RKM Auction May 4th at Pinehurst. It is being held in conjunction with the first Pinehurst Concours D'elegance (I didn't spell that right). Maybe one those Dussenburg types will want a Buick instead!

    Don't know yet Don. We are doing a 70 and a 72 for customers, a 71 to sell, then I'll pick something to do. I think I like building them more than owning them so I may just get my kicks from other people's cars and save my money!

    Here's the rest of the story. Turns out the company putting the auction on bought my car as well as most of the cars that were supposedly "sold". I can't put my finger on why I feel weird about this but something just doesn't seem right. I got what I wanted to net, but it just doesn't seem kosher since they know what you will take. They have it on their website now for $59,995! I couldn't get an offer at $42K so good luck to them. I have always been careful to call it a GS455 not a Stage 1 since that is what it is. I even had the Sloan docs available at the auction that clearly show it's not a Stage 1. I put the Stage emblems on it as a nod to the TA SE Stage 1 heads on it and as a tribute to my dad's car. They are calling it a Stage car. Caveat emptor.

    Nice straight lines, color just pops, the white vinyl top gives it the look of a convertible. It won't be around long. Stellar ride!
    Wish I had the :dollar::ball:.
