  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    1972 Buick GS Stage 1 Convertible (Mecum)
    1 of 15 Stage 1 4-Speed Convertibles Built in 1972
    Glendale, AZ - MARCH 5-9, 2024

    Would like better pics and a start vid. I like the notchback, but not the 4 on the floor (I'm short) nor the aftermarket in dash tach.

    Seems to have a well documented pedigree, though not as many suspension options as I would expect for the model.


    What do you think the final bid will be?

    72STAGE1 STAGE 1 & 2

    I guess $160,000 on the Blue one. The stupid Tach and batwing steering wheel needs to go.

    Also this one will be there .

    That is Mike's car. I guess we will find out what a 1 of 15 stage vert is worth.

    At least the blue one has a little more description than the black one.

    The Blue one belonged to Mike Guarise,, and looks very nice, sloan documented and legit. The Black one? Who knows?

    The blue one, I wonder if the red line on the tach has ever been reached (6,200)?

    The black one's rear wing doesn't look like it's mounted
    In the correct location.

    The spoiler on the black car is mounted in the right spot...but they look wrong on convertibles because the angle of the quarter panel slope is different than hardtop. That is why it was never offered on a convertible.

    And the hood trim is a 71. Ugh. And headlight bezels and bumpers are all 71. I gotta stop now.

    The GSX rear wing was made for the slope of a hardtop not a convertible

    I never knew the slope angle between a vert and hardtop were different.
    I like the GSX wing but not on a vert.

    Don't stop...it's a dud.

    Mecum hasn't sent the VIN on the black one yet. Sometimes they try and make you register to bid before they give any extra info.

    For so few, I've seen so many of these and most are scary (like this one).

    Are you planning to bid on this one or just pepper them with questions?
