    72STAGE1 STAGE 1 & 2

    My newest addition to the stable, all original paint, interior, drivetrain 49,100 mile GS455 and “U” code, in gorgeous green gold metallic arrived today. Super pleased with its condition! Popped up on internet a month ago in Flint Michigan. Tilt, AC, AM/FM STEREO, and map light I’ve never seen before on roof not on the mirror.

    I like that!! Love the colors and that interior is killing it. Good find there. It would make a great Hot Rod Power Tour car.

    Wow, that is one clean car! Nice find!

    Looks like it was kept in the living room.

    Now all it needs is a set of M/T headers and a 107 cam:cool:

    Funny you should say that, I happen to have a NOS set of MT’s I bought years ago that been sitting on the shelf waiting for the right car to use them on, I’ll have to decide!

    Never saw the ad for this car. Must have been on an obscure website. Nice find, Brent!

    Yes it went under the radar luckily for me or there would have been some stiff competition for it. The car gods threw me a bone.

    I have owned 3 of these and none had that option, and seen lots others but must have never noticed it. And yes I agree it’s a great color, I know of another that has brown interior and it’s not really a good combo, but with the white top and interior it just “pops”.

    Beautiful survivor. MCACN next year should be the '73's.

    Wow, what a great car! I'm pleased to see it in the hands of Buick enthusiast and I hope you enjoy the car very much Brent. I like everything about that car. It's obvious that the previous owner(s) took really good care of it. Thanks for sharing photos.

    I have a soft spot for the U-code '73 GS since it was the first Buick GS I ever rode in back in the very early '80 when I was about 8 years old.
