Gary,

There are damn few(!!!!) 70-72 cars that would make me consider owning one. I could count them on 1 hand without my thumb. BUT that car of yours is one of them. I peeked at it in BG last year, and actually "considered" one. And it being "kinda" quick doesn't hurt much either HAHA...........

Garys car is one of those..."you gotta see it for real cars". But then you also have to see Jim Rodgers car live. Both of those cars are in my top 10 favs and they also run like animals.

Thanks to both you guys for your passion in keeping the Buick name in lights ! We all enjoy your cars !:TU: :TU:

AHH.....JIM, CARE TO POST A SHOT OF YOUR BLUE '70 FOR US ALL TO ENJOY ?

Jim,
Very nice! Why did you change the wheels? The wheels you had for sale were from this car, correct?

[Jim Rodgers]

I still have the Bogarts on the rear, and now have Bogarts on the front as well. I went with a 15X10 on the rear, and sold the 15X8.5's.

[Bruce Hunter]

I got to look at Jim Rodgers car at last years 25th Nats, and all I can say is WOW! this thing is clean and fast, reminds me of Joe Chubas race car, so immaculate the you could eat off of it! but then they would be mad that you got crumbs in the car! and off course nothing wrong with clean!

Scratch that. I finally caught up!

[quickstage1]

Here's my '70 Skylark, owned it since 1988.

Ken

[quickstage1]

This is my '72 Skylark. I've only had it a year now but have added a 455, th400, a 3.90 posi and the 15x8 and 15x7 reproduction ralley wheels.

Ken

[Jim Rodgers]

Nice pair of Buicks Ken. The 70, well there isnt anything I can say about it that you dont already know, but its NICE. The 72 is cool with nice and crisp body lines. I like the color, what is it?

[quickstage1]

Thanks Jim, The '72 is Crystal Blue, the original color but now in base coat/clear coat. The '70 My dad painted it at the house and I did the stripes it was just a random color we picked out of a Dupont color book. I like your car alot too. As a mater of fact, I bought the fiberglass front bumper from you a few years ago, I just haven't installed it yet. I plan to do that this spring along with a few more changes.

Ken

[Jim Rodgers]

:BLAST: I remember that! The PERFECT bumber I shipped to you, and UPS tried to destroy it! BTW, that was the LAST item I ever shipped with UPS.

[GKsGS400]

Here's two '72s for 'ya.
The blue one is mine, runs 13:40s.



Was that time clocked at FantasyLand Raceway?

:BLAST: I remember that! The PERFECT bumber I shipped to you, and UPS tried to destroy it! BTW, that was the LAST item I ever shipped with UPS.

That's the one! I'll fix it up this year and get it on there hopefully. I just started the frame off on my convertible so it's taking up alot of my car time right now.

Ken

[tufbuick]

Sorry to disappoint you "G"Dave, but yes the 4000lb Mighty Stage1, that has no top end charge because of a 750 carb and 2'' exhaust, managed to squeak out a lowley 13.450 et. @ only 98.71mph.

But I would like you to take note of the amaizing 60' time of 1.888 on wasted B.F. Goodrich T/A radial street tires. Let's see if you can beat that 60' foot time with your new slicks ! :LAUGH:

*(check out the amaizing Reaction time)

:PANTS: MOON' :PANTS:

[GKsGS400]

I think Gessler must have been towing that blacksmoking hulk down the track "S" Ron. :ROLL: :ROLL:

An 836 is an amazing reaction time? On a .5 bulb? That's 1.36 seconds. Were you asleep?

Here are amazing reaction times "S" Ron!!!

I guess it's true about used car salesmen.. They can't add worth a sheeeet!!! :TH:

If you are .7 second behind me at the start how do you think your half second is going to get you past me at the finish? :ROLL: :ROLL:

LMAO!!!

Some pictures of my 70. Ran 10.90's in this trim, currently in process back to street duty. Should run 11.50's now, but I will be able to drive it!!

[GKsGS400]

But my car "IS" still faster than yours!!! :TU:





LOL!!! Only if I'm the one driving it. :ROLL: :DOU:

Plus there is some dissention in the ranks as to just which car that timeslip can be attributed to. Please tell us what convertor you have that let's you launch at 2500rpms. Hmmmm "S" RON?

To understand the term Rust Bucket is to know where I actually grew up

To understand Clean Texas Car is also a misconception that all texas cars are perfect and rust free.:TU:

[MuscleCrazy]

I am possibly buying a 1972 skylark 455. Its in real good condition, will post pictures later. Only wants 2500 for it. I work at a "real" car parts store, not like autozone and the like and am member of a local restoration club. I own a 1974 duster with a 502 and a big weind supercharger poppin through the hood( my baby). I have recently gotten interested in buicks. I love the boattails!

[carmantx]

here is our 72. My son, 17 year old, drives it everyday, and we race it on weekends.

[Guy Parquette]

Nice....now how about that other car you own ?

Just reread this whole post...some beautiful Buicks on here, and some pretty funny chit...made me laugh.

A little long while since this thread started but here's my "other" car, finally with the restored Motor Wheel Spyders back on. It's gonna get a taller old style ribbed Firestone skinny tire up front to make it look more period correct.
