I don't see a problem with it. Looks like a replacement unit to me. Originals were riveted to the case.
The guy who can restamp them and passes it off as legit is unethical. Unfortunately it is up to everyone else to be educated. I want to buy one to stick on my wall of emblems and stickers! On an unrelated note: a greasy rag joint/steering coupler and related bolts and nuts was passed to a guy in an Explorer earlier today. Plain brown bag job. I will consume some of the beverages from our transaction in about 2 hours. Good luck. whats this about a Mustang?
I think Chris has too many projects to finish so I would like to offer my garage to make a home for the 70 Stg1 convert basket case!:Brow: :TU:
At least the VIN is in a different place on the transmission case...if you knew what you were doing, you could be unethical uzzled:
Man He Sold me out, BTW thanks for doing that Chris, I have purchased a 1970 Cobra Jet Mach1 from a fellow Board Member's Son without telling my wife. She has now confinscated the car and is keeping it for herself. ou: Remind me to Cut off my Dad's Supply of PC help for selling me out:spank: I'm not going to be banned from the board am I??
I cannot believe that tag is up to $72. What a joke. For a friggin sticker. Sorry, but now I've seen everything. When was the last time a riveted on Trans tag suddendly fell off that you would need a replacement? There's only one reason someone's gonna buy it. Unethical? I think so. JMHO.
Actually pretty much every car in my signature was "saved" from certain doom by me over the last 20 years. I am only actively working on the 71 ragtop though. It is in body shop/rust repair hell. I have to laugh at folks that think they can restore a car for $10000, I am not finding that to be the case! The 70 has been with me a long time and is slowly gaining many of the missing parts. Someone was going to clone a Skylark with the parts so I overpaid at the time for it. And before anyone else flames me for not getting the 70 to someone who will restore it let me just say that it has lived indoors for 18+ years which is a heck of alot better than its fate before I got it. I can tell you one thing, if I ever win the lottery I will have a fantastic collection of Buicks!
"If you win the lottery, you will have a fantastic collection of Buicks" ?????? Looks like it to me, you already have it!:TU:
The 71 GS 350 coupe is a decent driver. The sportwagon needs paint and 1 rust hole fixed and the 71 stage 1 ragtop was decent, then crappy, then nice, then crappy again, now on its way to nice again.(owned it since early 1985 and have put 100,000 miles on it myself) The other ones are kind of iffy. My garage is kind of an indoor junkyard.
I hear Charlies Angels and instantly I am 12 years old. I don't remember any mode of transportation other than running down a beach in string bikinis.
There was a beach? My Farah Fawcet Poster was my first girlfriend until Princess Lea came along:Brow: We are now being returned to our regularly scheduled program.
I want the paint layout!!! All my paint came off when we sprayed brake cleaner on it.ou: ou: ou: And if that isn't bad enough, I need the Olds "OW" version.:ball: It sure looks like a decal to me, see the edges rolling up?uzzled: I'd give $10-$20 bucks for a correct color decal that would stick on my plate.:Smarty: Any ideas?
I dunno, I could probably restore my 1991 S-10 for under 10 grand. Then again, I take good care of it, and it's one of few makes on the road you could say that about. That having been said, the truck is worth about $5k tops, even with a concourse-level restoration, so it's still a losing proposition. - Freed
Pretty close repo... But if you look at it closely you can tell it isn't "as original". Let just say there are some minor "font differences". Since it's a decal it would be easy to spot by simply rubbing your finger across it...
TAGS Some guy in the olds club was makin ow and bb plates 15yrs ago but they were real plates without numbers,the 76 era cars had BB short tail trannies bu the tag was lite blue,AJ
