Trades? Gary, Sent a pm to Chris, wrong guy, Sorry. I am looking to get a little more, but would you consider mine? Tamer and no bar looks appealing to me. :Brow: Either way, that is one fine looking piece of iron!!!
That's a great looking car, the build up sounds great, I bet the car sounds great, but a sleeper? with that hood scoop. If that pulled up next to me, I would worry. Dean
Thanks Bill,this is the car I emailed you about when you first posted your car for sale.Seeing what reserve was on your foray into ebay,I can see theres too much difference between the cars.But ,if you sell it,give me a yell. gary
Topic To The Top Tttt Someone buy this !!! Its to tempting for me to handle, this close to my garage :laugh:
ttt......... Chris...yah..lil bit nice allright :eek2: I've already been told by the wife (after I gazed upon this thread for about a week) well, I wont repeat what she told me here on a family site :spank: D.
I know what you mean Dana, she is just afraid you will buy it, and she won't have the fastest car in the family anymore. :beer :laugh:
Perfect Sleeper That car is exceptionally nice and bad to the bone, Gary you have the gears in my head turning, G. Moz you better think quick on this yes its right in your back yard. :laugh:
Just a question about this 72 ... since you have the documentation ! Does the side vents windows have a RPO for itself ? I always thought that those vents windows were unique to the 68 model year since I saw a 69 Special Deluxe this spring (Calif GS are the same) Then I also "discover" that the 70-72 could have the side vents windows too when I saw an unrestored 70 SKYLARK , one owner car (uncle who bought it new gave it to his nephew) , and finally this nice 72 ! :TU: can someone tell me if there was a RPO # for order it back then ? or it came standard on some model like the Special but I don't think there was Special in 70-72 , never saw a non-68 GS/GSX with vents window , could it be ? o No: Tx
I think that the only 2 doors you could get the side vent windows on after 68 were the post cars??????
Thank you Chris , That's was I had in mind for the Post car , the only GS "post" I could recal are the California GS (and Colorado GS) , here's is a picture I took 2 weeks ago in a car show , there was 8 or 9 Skylark there in Quebec City :TU: The 4 doors has vents windows and it's a 69 ! The others in the same picture are a 72 GS350 and a 69 GS400 Stage1 convert ! :eek2:
