Jim it was an all steel body full interior with just the addition of a roll bar and he ran in the high 10's, all buick power no juice. I still stand to be corrected that this is or I should say was the fastest street legal bonified GS convertible in the country. A friggin damn shame he had to go through this.
Wow! So quick. I know stock from having some of those converts. they can weigh in at more than 4000 lbs.

Not to rub it in,Willie,but your GS was one nice running,good looking car. (It hurts to say that). I agree with Rick,it's a damn shame you had to go through this.
Hey Guys, Update On The Stolen One! HEY GUYS, MY PROJECT IS MOVING FORWARD , THE REAR SUSPENTION IS COMPLETELY IN, AND WE ARE MOVING ON. NEXT COMPLETE THE FRT. BRAKE SYSTEM THANKS TO RICK MARTINEZ DONATING FRONT HUBS, BACKING PLATES, AND ALUM. DRUMS, THANKYOU RICK. I WILL KEEP YOU GUYS UPDATED, AGAIN THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP. WILLIE :beer
Never a problem and I'm glad the parts went to good use. Extremely happy to hear that your GS is coming along. It will be a true survivor :TU:
A little OT, but maybe the owner would like to tell me a little about the benefits made by the ram air system that has been attached? Is it worth setting something like that up on a stock car, or is it more of a hassle than a gain until you make alot of power? Anyone else running a similar setup? What a shame what happened :ball: Best wishes on the rebuild :TU: :TU: :TU:
STOLEN ENGINE AND TRANS FOUND........ Hey guys the monroe police have found my stolen race engine and trans, they have arrested two total **** bags, one **** bag from monroe and the other from freehold, There is still alot to come and there is a on going investigation and THE KING **** BAG IS STILL ON THE RUN. I will keep you guys up to date as it hits the news papers..:spank: :spank: :spank:
Hi Willie. Just read the news paper and it,s funny how thing,s come back and bite you in the ass!!! Just ask the a-hole,s that stole your engine & trans!!! A small traffic stop for not using your blinker turned into a BIG problem for two SCUM OF THE EARTH A-HOLE,S. You know, i have some freind,s that are guards in the place that they are locked up in !!!( HE HE ) Glad to hear that you got your stuff back and like i said if you need a hand with anything please let me know , Im only a few minutes down the road!!!:3gears:
Wow thats great news. Thats a huge investment that you have recovered. Hopefully with the investigation you can get the trailer and tools back also. Beautiful car, im glad that you ARE bringing it back to life.
Score one for the GOOD GUYS!!!! Wonderful News.. I see they have a lead on someone else as the culprit. I hope your trailer and tools are in his backyard! :TU:
I google earthed prospect plains rd and just east of where union valley half acre rd intersects there are some trailers in the woods behind a house. They look to be about 24 ft'ers going by the size the cars are.
Funny the way things work out.:Brow: After all the time that has passed since the robbery the trash bags that did this were lulled into a false sense of security and thought that they had gotten away with their crap. Then BAM, out of no where, the trashers are behind bars.::laugh: It is a beautiful thing when justice finally happens. I bet they all have priors and most likely had previously spent time in prison. We are all glad that your car will be whole once again.
Great News!!!! I am sure within time Willie will let us know who were the original scumbags that took his GS and trailer as the police back track the event. The best ending will be seeing Willie back at the track with his "saved" GS!:3gears:
