    Hello fellow Buick lovers. After 45 years of lust I have finally gotten my car. A 1970 GS Stage 1. I have looked for years at ads and the time was finally right. I had a bit of help from people on FB and CJP69 from here. Chris was fantastic about information and things to look for. I originally looked at several convertibles, but after terrible inspections I went after a Stage 1.
    I purchased the car from Tom Miller at Campton Performance & Engineering (https://www.facebook.com/CamtonPerformance/). Tom was super and honest about the car and very fair. He made sure everything was right and checked in after the delivery and I can't say enough about his positive assistance. I could not ask for a better group of people to offer support and guidance. All in all it was a great experience.

    The car is in great shape with the body and paint in perfect shape. Interior is great, Engine and running gear good as well. At this point I wanted something that the big stuff was done and I can do the little detail stuff.
    I know this is a bit long. But the information here and the group of people on this sight are fantastic. Thanks for letting me share and learn.

    I believe you may be right about that! He had several cars for me to check out.

    Welcome - Beautiful car! I assume you know that was the color combo used in most of the GS magazine ads in '70.
