Introduce myself

Welcome! Luv the paintjob!

 

Way to funny... OP hasn't been here since 2016....

 

That's where the tag @Roger (< click on it) in post #19 is for:
If the OP is still using the e-mail address he used when he registered to the board, he will get a notification that something is posted for him

 

I don't get any email notices any more.... IIRC the email notification died about 2 years ago for every one at least that's what I read in the https://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/not-getting-email-notifications.378645/

 

Lol - yeah, I noticed that after I posted. Hope he is doing well none-the-less!

 

According to the Dutch public vehicle information data base he's still owns the car, so this should be Roger:

 

I think we got my account figured out now...

New member (and 'newer' Buick owner) here, and damn thankful to have found this Buick forum. I'm sure it will help me learn a TON of new things during my years of upcoming ownership. I will peruse the forums and will ask questions if I cannot find the answers I need.

I purchased a 1970 Buick GS455 back in April of this year, and absolutely love it. Long story short, I was saving up for 'something' for over 4 years... with an 'approved plan' (by the wife) to be able to buy that 'something' in Spring of 2023, just before my 50th birthday. Well, my wish came true. I found this absolute beauty in Indy in April, drove down to see her... and fell in love. She sounds as mean as she looks, runs terrific and have been enjoying it for a few months now. 77K original miles, original body panels, Protect-o-plate, Schott wheels, 3" Quiet-Flow SS exhaust... was very nicely restored, incredible paint job and very-well maintained over the years. The only thing it 'needed' was an alternator. Other than that, a things here and there to make her "mine"... and just enjoying it. Love the rumble sitting at a stop light, gives me chills just thinking about it!

Anyways, I thank you all in advance for your patience in helping me learn different things regarding owning a classic car. My Dad passed when I was 17, taking away the possibility of gaining the knowledge that he had about cars. This is also a tribute to him, and I'm sure he's looking down smiling knowing he'd love it as much as I do.



Thanks for reading and take care,

Gregg

I think it will be better if you open your own thread on the board.
Now you're posting in an old thread by another member, so you will not get a lot of attention from other board members.

Go to the main page of the "Wet behind the ears??" section of the board
and click on the Post New Thread (green arrow) button to create a new thread.
Copy and paste your introduction text + photos from your post above in the new thread

 

Welcome from Florida!

That is one sharp looking car, too!

 

Thanks Nailhead... will do, and thank you FLG, appreciate it.

I wasn't sure if I should create a new thread or post on the one already there. Thank you.
