Call me crazy but I still dig that Buick GS...real unusual to see.

Belair, you are crazy--but not for digging the GS--it's generally my favorite to drive and to look at.

Rich,

I wish Haggerty would do business in Mass. I've been with Grundy, which is probably almost as good. Lotsa companies won't do business here. I can see the appeal of your Townsman, although it's not necessarily my cup of tea. I do like your GTX, however. Good looking car in blue and I love the 1968 minimalistic trim. As for my Buick GS, it does have the exhaust cutouts and it's a fun car to drive. Power steering, power brakes, turbo 400, low rear end so she'll cruise at 75 all day....we drive it the most of the "stable". Next time I'm visiting my buddy in Wakefield, RI, perhaps we can arrange to see your collection if you live on the way.

Good luck with the wagon--it's a neat car.

The GS is a Beaut...
I have a 74 GS, with the Buick 350. Only 400 were done in 74 with the 455, tried to find one but Got what I could find. Only 51,000 miles on it. It's my favorite as it has never let me down. I drive it all over.
I didn't know Hagerty doesn't write in Mass. Grundy is good from what I hear. Similar I guess.
The GTX is an interesting car, when we got it no one knew it was matching. I was told it might have had a replacement block. We found and verified the numbers. I loved it as it is un-molested. And basic except for the Automatic. Just pure muscle. My wife re-detailed the engine compartment with engine in place. She's good at that.
Keep that GS humming.

and Maybe we will connect.
