    Looking for a nice 1971 -1972 Buick GS convertible 350. Nice solid body car could need some work but no major rust buckets. 17K and under depending on car
    thanks
     
  2. Not mine! Maybe this one is worth a look. And it's plenty cheap enough to do any updrades you would want. It also has a link to many more pix.

    It isn't my car, a friend of mine was thinking about selling it. I have let him know you will consider a project. He also is a board member.

    Yes I'm aware they a rare bird. However I have already owned 2 of them. I see them from time to time for sale on evilbay and other sites. That is one thing that I got enjoyment out of at one time . Restoring them and keeping them alive in the buyers market. Now I want one back. Sell my nice hardtop for another vertible.:Do No:

    Just talked with him, said he isn't ready to sell it yet, has too many things going on right on. He has a 70 Stage project he needs to clean up so he can sell it first, so that is his focus right now.

    Thanks Chris,
    no big deal and I am in no hurry. I have looked at a couple and been watching sites. Gonna have to be just the right one before I will do anything anyway.

Engine re-built 40 k using GS club cam and heads. Front split bench re-done using Legendary Interiors reproduction material. Needs convertible top. $15,000. One of 645 made for 72.
    I live in central NY near Syracuse. Would need a friend to snap pics for you if interested.
