    Might be just testing the water,but here goes.
    73 Gran Sport Stage 1 4 speed
    Offering my Black frame off restored 73 Gran Sport for sale, or I may take a partial trade plus cash for an unfinished project car, or a newer performance car.

    This restoration was started be a previous owner back around 1990 on from what I understand was a nearly rust free Kentucky car.
    1 of 728 Stage 1's built in 1973.
    Stripped to bare metal and painted Black with PPG primer and Base/clear.
    White bucket seat interior,sport wheel.
    Non air car
    3.42 Positraction rear
    Painted 15x7 rally's with Firestone Wide oval G70-15 tires.
    4 speed M-20 muncie trans.

    Fresh strong running NOM 1973 455
    Rebuilt M20 4speed trans,new clutch,TO bearing,repro steel flywheel
    Correctly converted from a rusty 4 speed donor car.
    rebuilt 8 1/2" 3.42 positraction rear
    again, Non numbers driveline, but a true V vin code Stage 1.

    Car was featured in a 5 page pictorial in the May 2010 issue of Musclecar Enthusiast Magazine.
    Car runs very strong. I was easy on it at last September's Pure Stock Musclecar Drags and turned a 13.89@101. weighing over 4200 lbs.
    Car is as clean underneath, as it is on top.
    There are a few blems that were touched up from years of storage, but they don't show in pictures,and I would have to point them out in person.
    Not perfect, but a very-very nice car.
    If your looking for something truly unique that you don't see everyday, this is the car for you.
    If you don't like being pestered at car shows, and having to answer lot's of questions, and don't like getting compliments on a very nice,rare restored car,then this isn't the car for you.
    If your looking for something that drives nicer than any old 64-72 gm a body, then this is the car for you.
    If your someone who like's belly button cars, and thinks the only Buick ever made was a 70 GS,then this isn't the car for you.

    If this sounds like something you would like to add to your collection, get ahold of me soon,as I might change my mind and keep it.
    These don't come up for sale very often in this condition.

    Lastly, please don't come on here and tell me how big the front bumper is, or that you think it's ugly compared to your 70 GS.
    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this is a damn nice looking and driving car. Don't turn your nose up, the 73's can and will grow on you.
    Owning an oddball 73 makes it fun to own a Buick again.Something Different.

    Located in Southern Michigan.
    Offered at $19,900 CASH

    My father was into this model car during the mid 70's and owned a few of them in the burgandy color. I am not sure what these cars are worth but it's a nice car, looks good in black with the white gut, non air is a plus, 4 speed a bigger plus. I like it!

    Good luck with the sale.

    Question, is the shifter installed in this car factory correct?

    I love this car. I have an appreciation for under appreciated cars. After all, I am a member of the Stepchild Nation, I should know about under appreciated cars. People are missing out on not being different.

    Hey Tom. car looks great. Timing on my end too. Just finishing up the 67 GTO and it would need to go away first. Love the car and wish you luck. If I got back into Buicks it would be something like this.
