Wow! Beautiful engine, beautiful interior, beautiful folding sunroof. I just don't get the rat rod look on this one.
Reminds me, I have that Lexan body I should paint.
My boss, at the time, bought one brand new and I got to drive it. I always compared the rear styling to a giant '64 corvette. Just beautiful. The driver's seat would swivel when you were getting in our out.
It wasn't a big car to me at the time since I was driving a '66 Oldsmobile Toronado...
These are the same as the 2 I had. Both forest green. The Grand Prix had a black vinyl top and the GTO had a white one. I stripped the vinyl tops off both of them. The GTO was T-boned and BENT beyond repair. The Grand Prix I had for 22 years, on and off the road, and 4 different paint jobs.
That's correct.
I had both a '69 GTO with the hidden headlights option and a '69 Grand Prix. They both had 400s with turbo 400 transmissions. Wish I still had them.
30 grand? Wow. I know it was rare compared to the GM lineup of super cars of that era. Olds had real success with the 442 while Buick was still trying to get rid of the "Father's car image".
WOW, that Buick is stunning in black.
I don't think I've ever missed an episode of "Overhaulin" with Chip Foose. Not only is he an incredible artist and designer but he's also one of the nicest people in the world. Could someone please arrange for him to come and steal my Thunderbird?
If...
