Andy,

You post the v8buick.com website, but you don't list when and where this car in question was listed. Do you remember the date and section it was in?

Updates?

Not as of yet, still waiting on a reply from Andy Tantes. It appears to be the same beautiful car. After talking to the 4th.? owner, the ownership / story is just not what it is advertised to be.

Wow https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif Considering the email you received from the owner of Best of Show Automotive, I would say their credibility has gone right down the drain https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Re: 1972 GS Stage 1 Buick
 

I wonder if the dealer was dishonest, or if they were hoodwinked? And, considering they knew of the existence of a similar car (that ended up being the same car), wouldn't it occur to them there may be something strange going on?

And why would such a cool, original car have its pedigree compromised in such a manner? It seems totally unnecessary.

Diego,

Read the post on page 2 of this thread...the owner of Best of Show Automotive says, in an email to Big Block Bill, that a friend of his ordered the car brand new and owned it until a short time ago. If Big Block Bill has now found someone who was "owner #4" of this same car, then someone is being less than honest https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

Re: 1972 GS Stage 1 Buick
 

Chris, owner #4, said he PURCHASED this car from Best of Show about 6 months ago. Then he TRADED it back in on a 1970 Green Stage 1 4 speed car about a month and a half ago.

Chris said he was going to call Joseph Carroll of Best of Show (Which I verified he did)and tell him he has had 2 people (Me and a guy from Texas)call him about this car. He told us both the ownership history as he knew it, and that he (Mr. Carroll) might want to re-write his “Story”

As told to me: Kevin Joyce, Buick dealer / owner sold car in 1979, (Mr Emmott maybe?) but he did not give the new owner the original paper work, protect-o-plate, ect. The car was then sold sometime later to a guy in Ct.? Mr Joyce then bought the car, re-united the car and paper work, then had it for a while before listing? consigning? or selling? to Best of Show before Chris purchased it THIS YEAR!

Having been the past owner of 1 of the 3 Founding Bloomington Gold Survivor / Benchmark Corvettes, #100 1953 Corvette, and a 1969 L-89 Corvette the NCRS used in the 1980’s for judging criteria, I have always appreciated an un-restored Original car. I believe a good part of the Survivor value is in the “Story / Ownership history” It is a shame the “Story” on this beautiful 1972 GS Stage 1 is a bit fuzzy or at least cloudy.

Thanks for all who helped, and yenko.net for the soap box to speak from.

Thanks for the clarification on that point, Bill - that's a pretty dumb claim to make for a car that was in a magazine!
