    Well I have been told by the boss I need to free up some garage space. She is getting tired of having both Buick's take up the whole garage all year. As much as I love this car, I am going to hold onto the stick car. Painted Stratomist blue in 2013 I have had her since 2002. Along the way I installed the built 455 with well ported Stage 1 heads an SP1 intake with an 800 double pumper, rebuilt switch pitch turbo 400 with a PAE controller, rebuilt 8.5" rear with no hop bars and a new monster drive shaft, Hooker Super Comp headers into 3" exhaust with race magnum mufflers. I also found an original GS hood, repro tach and rear spoiler. I installed a PUI GS interior in pearl white I purchased from a board member, a new ACC carpet all new window trim moldings and felts, exterior handles and locks. I replaced the convertible top lines and installed lift pistons, but it will need a new top installed, gauge cluster needs some detailing. Asking $11,000 and located outside of Bangor Maine I will assist in helping arrange shipping. The hard work is done. This is my favorite year and color combo on a convertible, looks sharp not a show car but a heck of a driver. Here is a quick video I put together. This is a one take wonder shot from my phone, I will take and send any pictures that are requested.[video=vimeo;133190696]https://vimeo.com/133190696[/video]

    Let me know if folks have any interest or questions. Will probably look to e-bay in a few weeks. Would much rather make a deal with someone on the boards. The link I posted above has many more pictures and more information of all that was done to the car.

    Thanks, Kevin

    Still available. I have some interest on a couple other sites but would rather make a deal with someone here. I have many parts to finish up the interior including a nice floor shift console, a refurbished dash bezel, new trunk lid chrome and a nice set of rocker covers, and some new sun visors.

    This car is very stout performer. It has a TA 510 cam and 4.10 gears. The one time I had it down the track I spun half way down, let off, spun again and still ran mid 13's.

    Drop me a message if you have any questions.

    Thanks,Kevin
