    I know it's not a Buick but, my neighbors buddy found this G.T.O in the Salvage pool in northern Ohio. People thought it was a LeMans because the Endura bumper was replaced with a chrome bumper (the story is much more involved then this) anyway he found out it was a dealership drag car.
    Owned by Ray Faro Pontiac, A friend of mine worked at the dealership in the 60's and 70's and helped him with some missing history. The car is fully restored Ram air V check it out

    I recently found a '72 GTO X code(455 H.O.) in a north Ga. junkyard.That is quite a rare car. It's amazing that these super rare cars are still out there. It pays to check them out,especially in the case of this super rare Ram Air V GTO.What a find!!

    If it wasn't for the GTO guys we wouldn't have had such great A-bodies from Fisher

    I have always been a Pontiac Buick Guy they are a nice paired fit.
    In Canada all GM Dealerships are always paired Chev/Olds and Pontiac/ Buick no standalone frranchises.Maybe that has something to do with my affliction.
