    That's strange. I didn't realize it was deleted.

    Shouldn’t be able to delete entire threads. Other boards I’m a member of don’t have a delete option.

    Maybe someone got into politics as that usually shuts down a thread....

    Original poster deleted his first post, which kills the thread.

    The car sold today, I don't know who bought it, but I don't like finishing second place. OH WELL.

    I guess I never had a chance to even look at it, even though I had the trailer hooked up and ready to go Thursday with CASH.

    So was it all that and a bag of chips? Or was it a rust bucket with little hope?

    From what I've heard & read in the now deleted thread, nobody missed out on anything. It was a basket case NOM 350 car that sold for crazy $. Other than it possibly being a significant piece of Buick History...

    So am I reading between the lines that you own it now? :)

    I do not own it, the only interest I had in it was the 70 stage 1 engine & BB trans. I was thinking it would make my one 70 GSX a little more appealing to buyers.

    A Tomahawk block and 6 spd would do it for me

    I guess he'll be surprised to find out it's an NOM 350 car according to all accounts (exc. of course the seller's claim).

    It’s got a 70 Stage1 SS stamped block and BB trans...but that sure isn’t numbers matching

    If it is truly a 350 car, I can't help but wonder why the buyer didn't just compare the dash VIN with the engine and trans.

    But regardless, if the buyer is happy, then that is what really matters.

    When he checks his frame numbers he will know for sure what he has:
    3992388 "CR" (1971 350 Coupe)
    1237139 "BA" (1971 455 or Stage 1 Coupe)

    Exactly. They would've been the 1st/easiest to check & then maybe the frame part # to see if it was even an orig. BBB but the big question is whether there's any documentation proving it's even a GSX. If there is (big if) then there's the fact that '71-2 350 GSX's don't really bring all that much compared to what it would take to restore that car and that's not so say someone wouldn't/shouldn't restore it (I'm doing a losing a proposition '70 350 4-sp) & I hope they do, but to jump into something like that not knowing what you've got it crazy.

    The seller was asked to check the frame number and I gave him specific photos on where to look. He said the frame was powdercoated too thick to see the numbers.
