1972 Buick GS STAGE 1 Big Red #1

I think the original engine resides with my older brother. I would have to check the vin, but it won't be for sale for less than 1,000,000. It's got to be worth as much as the sheet metal. lol

 

I thought about buying this car until I notice he listed it as "left hand drive". I drive with my right hand!

 

Wow.
That's awesome if your brother has that motor ken.
I gotta get a hold of you one day and cruise on over to your place and check out your projects...see ya Joseph

 

I don't have that issue or can't find it. I left Kenne- Bell around 1981

 

I do have the "original" NHRA 1975 Winter Nationals FS Automatic class trophy I won. It's the only thing out of place. It's on the fireplace in the living room! Now surrounded by Christmas trimmings. I found out just a few years ago that one of my nephews got a letter or reprint that I was the only NHRA driver in history to Never lose any class race. If I had stayed any longer than 6-7 years I doubt if that would still be true. I have a copy of that somewhere, but after my last move I can't find much of anything important???

 

Yes I do have that some where. Don't know where the 13.10 came from, maybe before I had the car. Pop held the record at 12:42. I never reset the record but never went slower than 12:42 but maybe an old national dragster paper might tell us. The car went a best of 12: 20 something. Just never had to run that fast to beat everyone! I also don't know how the car went from C to F/SA.

 

So cool Buick history Ken, you know I dig it but you lived it.
You're one lucky dude. Thanks for all of that.

 

Another 100k price drop, it's only 850k now ha

 

Well, now I can justify it. It was just that measly extra 100k that was holding me back....

 

SLOWLY coming back down to reality...... $695k.......... https://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Buick...ash=item4d6bc6ec51:g:82IAAOSw5dlaF2qC&vxp=mtr

 

Only one zero away.

 

I think they meant $69,500

 

That might be a funny phone call, Jim! Tell them you’re mailing a check for 72k to cover fees and shipping.

Yea I think that's way more like reality.....But then it's like I always say...."Price it to sell it or Price it to keep it"

 

It's dropping 100k every couple of weeks now....only a few months to wait...... $595k https://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Buick...ash=item4d6c39832a:g:82IAAOSw5dlaF2qC&vxp=mtr

 

When it hits $59.5k I’ll be ready to bite

 

Seems like he's literally on the 100k/week schedule. At $495k now. 4 weeks to go! https://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Buick...ash=item4d6cb2fdfe:g:82IAAOSw5dlaF2qC&vxp=mtr
