Ok I have a need for speed. I need to find a car that is either back halfed, box framed, or tube chassis. I prefer an unfinished car. It has to be a buick and I prefer a GS or regal. The car must be able to pass 8.50 cert. I have no money yet. But I do have a 70 GS455 convert project, I have a 69 GS400, and I have a 70 skylark no title. (good race car roller to be) Anything out there??
You should check out www.racingjunk.com. There has been a few Buicks on there recently, a couple Regals and a Skyhawk. Best place to go to see a ton of race cars for sale. Heres the link to the Skyhawk if you're interested. http://www.racingjunk.com/exec/ca/view/310755/NHRA-CERTIFIED-85O-ET-Tube-Chassis-Buick.html
Mike; A guy in Wisconsin just had a 70-72 skylark chassis car for sale at an auction in Wisc. I don't think it sold. Here is his phone #715-273-3146. His name is Keith LaMora. Tim.
Mike i have no idea. My son saw it in the auction listing and called me to see if I new anyone who might be interested. I talked to my son later in the week and he said he heard that it didn't sell. Tim. I would give him a call.
Since there are fewer Buick race cars out there than Chevys I''ve wondered if you could take a '70 chevelle full tube car and change out the sheetmetal without too much trouble. Fiberglass front end, doors, and bumpers, then swap out the quarters. May be the same with a Nova and a Monza.
Ha !!! Id like to watch Mike try to squeeze into that Kadett. He could chew the hair off his knees :laugh:
Mike,just found this on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=80766&item=4503320333&rd=1
That is the car from the Wisc auction. The reserve is $15K. It is in bad timing for me now as I have parked all the cars and now have started pursuing other interests.
