[ 510 lbs torque ] known as the bankers hot rod. Family owned for 25 years. 143,000 miles. Engine rebuilt. Auto. trans, A/C, AM-FM, tinted glass, chrome Buick wheels. Documented real car with all original special components. Runs and drives great. New correct interior, bumpers replated show quality, new correct tires, exhaust, brakes, etc. Has typical rust issues.
See I actually like the color combo. Sleeper city... I have to say this... Buick people are hardcore.. Mopar prices... 30k? Wow
From the pics, it looks like drivers side lower door and front fender and pass side lower door at a minimum meet that description, lol.
Please...Stop cutting (you know the word I want to add) holes in hoods! That would almost be a deal killer right there. Very nice looking car otherwise (exc. that RF Fender/door alignment) & seemingly a reasonable price unless it's been all patched up once already and w/new interior and re-chromed bumpers some $ spent already if restoring it especially if the carb & dist. are there. Used to be a Stage 1 around here in same combo. Looks like it'd be a fun driver for a while and could even come clean if decided to sell it.
Maybe not doc. Depending on the level of resto and lots of ifs here but it is a matching #'s Stage 1. Bamboo Cream isn't necessarily the easiest color to sell but if the interior could be re-used and if the "typical rust" isn't bad and if the motor is good (says was rebuilt IIRC) and if the distributor & carb are correct and if the core support, grille, inner fenders are re-useable & if the re-chromed bumpers are re-useable (you get the picture) then one could put let's say another $30k into it (depending on how much one does themselves vs. sending it out) and maybe not have a concours resto (or maybe) and maybe not a set of WG or 7.0 wheels but certainly a darn respectable and very correct/put together car - You don't think that a "done" matching #'s Stage 1 would bring $60k? I'd like to think more actually. Maybe I'm wrong and that being said, I'd sure like to not have to go spend $1k on a hood but ppl keep feeling the need to cut holes in them!
Wasn’t this on eBay 2 years ago with a bunch of red flags? I know it was bamboo,but it might have had a vinyl top. Dano, I feel your pain. I bought a 70 GS that “had” an absolute flawless hood.......until someone cut the tach hole in the wrong location and went right through the bracing. That must have been a real genius moment on that one.
There was the one with the black painted top (I liked that one too). I know it was on CL. Not sure if it made it to eBay. Only the OP could possibly keep all the Bamboo Cream cars straight.
There was another Bambo cream stage one Vinyl roof for sale it was a board members car it was in Maryland priced about the same. Was on Hemmings.com for like a year for sale Needed a trunk floor was all numbers matching original interior.
So what I am reading is that since I have a tach in dash on my 70 bamboo cream car I should also install a hood tach for more rpm information ...... Ya see the information I get from this forum is awesome I think my pops has one of those hole things for door knobs I'll use that
joe you should install two 1 for the driver and the 2nd one for the passenger. it would make your car 1 of 1 johnny
I have owned a whole bunch of these cars. I’ve had many of these cars and no two were alike, so I don’t know what typical rust looks like. Especially, since none of mine had any rust!
Bamboo Cream is a great color on a 1970 Buick GS. Pontiac called the same color Sierra Yellow for a 1970 GTO, better name for a good color that was very popular in 1970.
