Been going to the nationals since 1997,...never drove a GS there,....drove my GN,..tried to drive my 70 GS in 2013,...didn't make it,...rear-end took a ****,... So Instead if driving a well sorted dependable Buick,..or even my new truck I'm gonna make the 1k mile journey in a 71 GS455 that hasnt been on the road since 1987,....total Roadkill style here's where I am as of yesterday,...makes perfect sense imo
Tank is junk,..getting a uses one that's less of a mess Lines are getting flushed Trans condition??? Who knows it's the nastiest one I've ever seen I know that Engine was junk,..getting a known runner I have here,..thanks Mike!! Brakes a complete ****show ha,..getting a manual master Wiring is actually good Interior will be complete but not matching and tore all to hell Back glass may be duct taped in Wheels and tires,...Grey torq thrust 295s and 215s Car actually is really solid where it counts,.. 342 posi Disc Will have f41 suspension Tach fresh resto Guages Tilt Rally wheel Matching #th400 with shift kit 2500stall MT headers 3in exhaust Lot to do along with my daily work but that's the goal
That how we used to do it. Put it together, drive it there, run it, drive it home. I've driven more than one to BG (700 mi. ea. way) as the test drive. Also flown & trailered. Nothing beats driving a GS there.
I hope that you don't have much other work, and have at least one good helper, because transforming that thing into a running car that your going to take on a trip, is a monumental task, no doubt. I hope you don't like sleep, because your not going to get much in the next 3 weeks. Good luck.. JW
Bucket list! Good luck with all the seen and unseen fun that pops up - experiencing this vicariously with you!!
The closest I came to that is when I drove my GS 340 miles round trip to Cecil, ran 11's, and drove it home 2 days later. I drove my GS to Ohio BPG meets multiple times, but didn't dare to race it. That will either be an awesome experience or multiple head aches. I am hoping for the former, Go Ethan.
I have around 15 projects sitting here,...along with helping my dad in the body shop,..got some body work and 3 to paint by Friday for him It will run drive and stop here soon
If not this year keep going and try for next! What part of country are driving from? Steve weim55 Colorado
