In order 1970 GS 455/T400 (@16 yrs old) 1972 Stage 1/T400(@19 yrs old) 1970 Skylark 2 door current project 1987 Regal w/ 455 ST1 4speed Of course there was no such phrase as muscle car when I owned the GS cars. Paid $700 for the 70 455 and $200 for 72 Stage 1. Of course that was many moons ago. I forgot one. While its not a Buick I did own a 69 442 that a friend and I removed a sweet Olds 350-4 and upgraded to a Buford 455/T400 in 1979 and ran that for a couple of years. KB 113 cam & kit, forged pistons .030, factory intake, 800 spread bore, factory exhaust manifolds and 2.5" duals, 2500 stall convertor, 3.55 positraction. The car had a fiberglass twin scoop Ram Iar hood, his/her shifter with console and exhaust trumpets running thru the bumper. ran real good even being restricted on the breathing.
Only 4. 72 Centurian convertible. Owned it from around 1982-84. This was the car that got me hooked on Buicks. It was pretty fast, and surprised many people. Red/white interior. it's one of only two cars I've ever owned that I regretted selling the minute it went down the road. It was purchased by a young lady who didn't car at all about it. I saw it about a year later - ready for the scrap heap. 65 GS (still own) Bought in 1991. 95 Roadmaster sedan (still own - for sale) 95 Roadmaster wagon (still own) Mark
I have attached a list of the Buicks that my Dad and I have owned over the years. I have a list of all the cars we have owned since he started in 1957 that exceeds 200. Of those, I have compiled a list of just the Buicks. As I went through the list, I started to remember some that were not on the list. I added them as I went, but I am sure that there are probably 10 to 20 that I did not remember and are not listed.:grin: Bob Lorenz Bob Lorenz Jr.
In order, with dates purchased: 70 GS 350: July 97 (I was just 25 years of age) 70 Riv: Oct 97 (my first donor car) 67 Sportwagon: Summer of 2000 (was given to me by a friend) 76 Electra: Oct 2000 (my second donor car) 72 GS 350: Sept 2001 (parts car for the 70) 67 Special: Aug 2002 (horsetraded for this one) 86 Regal: Sept 2002 (new daily driver) The only one I no longer have is the 70 Riv. It had a collision with a tree when the original owner backed it out of his barn. Every brake line was wasted. It now sits in a junkyard about 15 miles from Pgh.
