I am hoping someone on this board can help me get some additional history on our 1970 Stage I GSX. We have owned it since 1999. I have spoken to the two previous owners, but they only go back to 1995. I know the previous owner to those two was Jose Rodriguez of Hialeah, Florida. He owned it from 1984 until he sold it in 1995. I have a copy of his title from Florida which shows the owner before Mr. Rodriguez bought it in 1976. I know the car was sold new from Tom Endicott Buick in Pompano Beach, Florida. The dealership is still in existence. I actually spoke to Mr. Endicott who told me he worked at the dealership in 1970 when the car came in. At the time, his father ran the dealership. He told me that he thought the owner of the local Chris-Craft boat dealership bought the car new. He thought his name was John Rodi (spelling?). I have been unable to locate Mr. Rodi or Mr. Rodriguez. I'm trying to find anyone who might be able to confirm this or put me in touch with Mr. Rodi (or a family member) or Mr Rodriguez who may be able to fill in the gaps for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, George
You might try a "people search" on Yahoo or something to that effect. Rodi would be worth a shot, Rodriguez will be a lost cause however. Just an idea. There can't be too many Rodi's in florida...
Try Jim Haas and George N.(www.Buickperformance,com) on this Board. One is in the Tampa area and the other Miami. They know a lot of people in to Buicks. Jim (Miami) is also in to boats.
