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

    restore it! restore it! restore it! there were only 114 72 GS455 auto converts made!

    to part it out though things I see:

    GS hood- $600-800
    N25 rear bumper-$400?
    front bumper (core)- $50-75
    rally wheels- $100-200 Set Depending on condition
    wheel centers- $20-40 Set depending on condition
    fenders (if good) $150-200 each
    core support (if good) $400-500

    The car is in california so shipping would be a potential deal killer.

    Somebody buy that car!

    It looks very rusty, and doesn't seem to have the Buick motor

    I agree with the wrong motor, but it doesn't look like the rust it too bad except for the quarters and bumpers.

    Doesn't that seem a little weird that

    1. The bidding is only up to $150?

    2. Someone would just say, "gee I give up on a rare muscle car convertible, I am going to have a salvage yard company come and just take it away"?

    I am not sure how this "Copart" auction thing works although I have heard about it. I did not look real close at the details but I suppose a person has to sign in etc and this car probably has a reserve.

    But could it actually sell for say $1000 ?

    And why wouldn't a GS fan buy it and ship it? Isn't there a GS club member out there that could store it until transport could be arranged?

    I once sent a deposit on a 72 GS 350 4 speed convertible that had all the parts stripped off it that were GS specific but the tag and provenance were there. It might have taken me 10 years to redo it but I wish I had bought it. I think it was a low numbers car despitye being a GS 350 car.
