    Looking for these Iteams. How much money should I expect to be paying for these?
    i have a guy who is parting out a 70 Stage 1 and he wants to sell the heads, carb, intake,
    tranny and rear end. Don't know what this stuff is going for. It's a non air car.

    Is the car itself gone?

    I'm no expert, but I'd say the answer partially depends on whether the parts are cores, are operational, or rebuilt. If you don't need the tranny, I'd be interested. I had a guy offer me a recently rebuilt BB tranny for $1200, but he changed his mind.

    Carb will be $$$$ if he knows their worth.

    Rear is 3:64?

    service replacement carb cores have gone for $250-300ish needing rebuild

    a "real" stage1 carb would be worth quite a bit to the right person

    No car is not gone just taken apart. Silver with black top and std bench. Tach and gauges.
    3:64 rear. Short block is gone and tranny is a 70BB from another car.
    7040246 is carb number. Car has disk brakes.

    Car is in a garage in Youngstown. Might buy the whole thing and part it out.
    the guy must just need some cash because he wasn't interested in selling the whole car.
    i think he figures he can get more for parts when he needs money. He said he will pick away at it.
    so might be selling some of the parts.

    What are the plans now for car and/or parts?

    I am at the mercy of what he wants to do with the car. I don't want to seam to eager with him.
    I don't need the parts I would probably resell most of what he will let go.

    If you do part out, carb sounds interesting. Do you have a date code on it?

    I can check next time I am there. It's about an hour and half away.
    if anyone wants anything else checked out let me know.

    It's a pretty complete car just mostly disassembled.

    If the hood is still there, a few pictures please.

    date code on the carb will determine if its service replacement or not

    Another thing to check to be sure its not a restamp or a pieced together unit is to look for the secondary pullover enrichment discharge ports ABOVE the secondary air flaps instead of below. Stage 1 carbs were the only Buick carbs with this feature.

    Recently I put out a part wanted ad for an early Stage1 246 carburetor. A respected board member contacted me and said he had one he would sell for $2500.00 firm.

    I am in need of a carb if it is the right date code for my Dec built 70. Must be an original.

    No Chris, The Stratomist car is on the market right now. I bought a set of wheels and tires from Bob Linquist, I am going to sell them, along a 246 carb, Late 69 and a set of heads I will be getting rid of sometime this summer. Best of Luck. Hope to see see you at the races again someday. Cheers!
