    "I know it's a 72 but..." What the heck is THAT supposed to mean???? Its a Buick GS right??? Rarest of the 70-72s. Just glad it's not another stinking 70. Do you know how many 70 GSs they made??? Might as well be a Chevelle.

    this is true kevin.
    and i do think the 72 look the best.
    69 is the one i like best.
    and yup it is a GS and i am some happy to have found this car.i have dreamed for years to have one to restore.
    the day i found this car i was going to look at a 72 nova for 3000.00 just to have a car to work on. jumped on ebay and there it was,a buy now for 4600.00.
    so it`s safe to say never saw the nova,crap the guy could have told me he would sell me the car for 800.00 and i still would not buy it after finding this GS.
