    I am selling my 70 GS. The car is in the Charlotte, NC Metro area and the asking price is $42,500.00. It has been in 4 national shows and has garnered a first, a second, a Silver and a Gold Senior award. I have attached a word document descibing the car as well as a couple of pictures. I will post more pics over the coming days and can e-mail hundreds upon request. The car is a true show and go machine having gone mid 12's at Z-max then placing in concours events. I will be putting it on evil bay in a couple of weeks but wanted to give you guys first crack at it. I have over $60k in it, (yeah I know), receipts will be available for review. Ok, word doc didn't upload so I copied below.

    It is code 78 Buick called it Misty Burgundy Irid. The chevelle I had code 78 was Black cherry. It is the same color just different names. It is a very nice color, sometimes it looks solid and then when the light hits it she just glitters<o:p></o:p>

    VERY nice car...especially with that motor in it....if i did not already have enough cars i would be all over it. Everybody knows that you could only duplicate the car for twice the money..
