Attached is a picture from this afternoon.

Seller is a V8Buick member out of AZ. I believe his name is Bill. I sold him the hood that is on the car years ago.

Dan,

Bill, as in Bill Bailey? If it is, the front bumper on that car came from me.
Looks like I shoulda kept it.

Just saw a preview of the car on the replay of today's BJ coverage on Velocity network.. it was parked in front of a yellow GSX.
Nice looking car. They called it 'pearl white' paint, and the interior has some custom touches like cloth seat covers and a white-rimmed steering wheel.
Funny how they mentioned GM limited engine displacement to 401 cubic inches for the intermediates (error!)......actually the limit was 400 which is why Buick called the 65-66 GS 401 a '400'.
Looks like someone got a good buy, if you like the customization.

Edit: The GSX was a '72 Skylark, 4 speed, sold for $16,500.

That seemed like a value price for a nice driver car to me. Looked like you could get in and go!
