    72STAGE1 STAGE 1 & 2

    It’s been 30 years since I had a 73 GS and had been looking the last few years but didn’t want a project and hadn’t any luck until this 1974 came along this week. I struck a deal with a nice guy that had a Stage 1 and this super nice GS350 with only 58,000 miles on her, not a performance car but sure drives sweet, I got my other Stage 1 for fast stuff hammer time, this is a great cruiser and nice change of pace while still being classy. 99D0D1A5-55C8-4EB7-BF38-357067D33AA7.jpeg C28E97CA-AF4B-4F65-BE43-8049A09109AB.jpeg 7D892C5C-405D-4B1B-AA62-6DB3D7A07D0E.jpeg 544D3B2E-8AE0-4731-9721-6E8D3188F4A4.jpeg FB3F2FB8-88F5-44E7-A62E-A068E7C78802.jpeg 283E3EEC-949A-4188-AEB3-F0C57B8C9C91.jpeg C01BFA02-6CB4-4D59-8B89-6FEA0C0BC78D.jpeg 8BD363CF-8550-44BE-A210-E3BAEF41C7E0.jpeg

    Thanks! Yes they are not easy to find in this condition, needs a little TLC and a few small things but still really nice…..Now to find that elusive X to complete the trifecta!

    Very nice! I would be too tempted and put a nice stock '70 Stage engine in it...

    I have a binder full of stuff but haven’t got to it yet, do you have a certain interest in this car Rich?

    No, is the car original paint chrome and interior?

    It’s all original except the paint which looks like a 1990 Imron job, pretty good actually. Nothings has been messed with clock even works!
    Storyline is it sat in a guy called Buick Bobs collection for many years then sold at auction a couple years ago to a dealer in Chicago where the guy I got it from bought it 2 years ago, he’s sold to me because of Covid and not working and has a74 Stage 1 also he’s keeping

    She's a beauty especially with the Polygas tires, your Gran Sport still lives in 1974.
