    I used to have that magazine! I gave all my mag's away a little over a year ago. I had boxes of them, mostly from the mid to late 80's. Anything that had a Buick in it was in my collection.

    I used to have one from a Muscelcar Shootout event that Dave Knutsen helped organize at SIR (now PR) in Washington.

    I have a pile of that particular magazine. Very well preserved. I may very well have THAT issue too.

    It's amazing how few Buicks showed up then compared to now. Or at least how little recognition they got. As a matter of fact, there is still those circles of brand x'ers that continue to laugh at the word "Buick".

    These circles are getting smaller and smaller, courtesy of people like Greg 'the snake' Gessler :TU:

    First time!!

    The 1st time I saw this car it
    had less then 20K in 1986 at
    the GS Nationals. Which by the
    way was my first Nats. Sam

    I hear ya Marco! :Brow:

    I actually was reflecting a bit last night while flipping through Hot Rod, at how far (to look at the glass half full this time :grin: ) we've come from a recognition standpoint. I mean, Hot Rod DOES get read by just a few people. :beer

    Way to go Greg!

    It'd be easier with a little less common name (181 results in IA overall). But here's a possibility:

    Donald Johnson
    304 Cedar St SE
    Blairstown, IA 52209

    I've got both those mags, also save just about any magazien with a GS mentioned in it, includig the Motor trend 50th anniversary where the 70 GS road test came in 34th out of 50 most memorable. Also have a very old article of Mr Conleys 70 prototype and black GSX, etc.

    Greg Gesslers showing in the latest hot rod is very, very impressive. Good job!!!

    later
