Newest Purchase / 1972 Sun Coupe

Well I have a new project on my hands. We just purchased this 61,000 mile 1972 SunCoupe last saturday. Its Fire Red with a black interior. It has Air, Tilt, Power Disc Brakes, Rear Defrost and the sun coupe option.

We're going to give it a "cosmetic restoration" this winter.

I would like to purchase some Sport Mirrors and a Floor shift consile. (already have the shifter assembly) If anyone reading this has these let me know !

Here's a pic:



Any Sun Coupe owners out there know how many of these Buick Built ? ?

VERY NICE LOOKING CAR !!!

Congrats on the Suncoupe purchase. I am sure you will find yourself really enjoying yourself in it. That sure is a big hole in the roof...

I kind of got lucky finding this one, actually a buddy of mine spotted it in a local trader magazine. I was originally looking for a nice skylark to use as a daily driver in the summer months. My GS is nice but being a part time race car/street car it just isn't practical to get in and drive just anywhere at anytime.

The suncoupe will need a little work but its all there, original and low mileage so it should make for a nice cruiser.

I'll post some more pictures next spring. By then it should be restored and ready to enjoy.

Thanks for looking.
