His first ride home from the hospital was in a 350 GS and now Brett Slater owns a Stage 1 GS!

Always had a soft spot for 70 Stage 1 Buicks. Back in the early/mid 80's saw a local ad here on Long Island for a 70 Buck Stage 1 4spd Conv (yup, real) Think I was 17-18 at the time, went to look at it as it was local. Car was incredibly clean and the seller threw me the keys and said "take it for a ride kid" took it out on Hempstead Tpke and the car was sideways in 3rd gear, monster of a car. He wanted $3500 for it I think, begged Dad for the $$ as I knew it was a rare car, even back then he said no way. Fast forward to 5-6 years ago, was at MCACN, and I'm looking at this Light Blue 70 Stage 1 Conv 4spd car, walking around it, asked the owner "did you buy this car off a guy on L I"- "yes", Guy in East Meadow.? - "yes". I said "you got this car because my dad wouldn't lend me $3500" he was the next guy after me to look at the car, he bought it and we both proceeded to have a good laugh. Assume he paid the $3500, nice return on the investment! You can rip a house off the foundation with the torque with those cars, at less than 4000 rpm no less. The car shown is beautiful

Brett,

Welcome to the Buick Family. The 1970 Stage1 Buick.....is one of the Best, if not The Best Muscle Car of All.

Congrats!

Dan
