"72 GS Conv.
 

Hey Guys and Gals,
I wasn't going to "JINX" myself and post anything before I actually acquired the car but "What the heck". Anyway,I'm pretty sure this week I'm getting a car I've been chasing for quite a long time. Down deep I'm really an Olds guy, however this car will be a welcomed addition to my garage. How about a 1972 Skylark GS conv. with 31 options, original Dark Chestnut (a Riviera "only" color) paint, un-touched and un-restored, with under 10,000 documented original miles! The current owner is 94 years young! I will receive the original window sticker along with some other pertinent docs and I contacted Sloan for their info. Presently, the car is in need of only a thorough hand-rub and polish, and some minor servicing and detailing. I will try to enhance my computer skills and share some pics after I take delivery. Until next time..... Dave.

Sounds like a cool car. We have a Sandlewood Stage I Rag Top in inventory.

Rare car! Is it a GS 350, 455, or Stage 1? At any rate, they didn't make many....

GS 350 (645)
GS 455 (126)
Stage 1 (81)

I can vouch for that, since I was able to spend some quaility time behind the wheel this past weekend, top down and cruisin! Car is a blast to drive.

An BTW; Congrats Dave! How about joining us in November for MCACN III? www.mcacn.com

Thanks for all the interest and encouraging comments! I'll keep you posted on my latest endeavor. You guys may or may not know this, but I also own (have for a little while now)a pretty neat Olds--a 1969 W-31 that was raced and sponsored in F/S and G/S as a new car by Anderson Olds in Baltimore, MD. That car is also a very low mileage(10800) and well documented example that I race and show from time to time. I am a long time employee of Anderson and my family has been there for a continuos three generations. If you are interested, look on Youtube (David Siltman Nostalgia) and see a shakedown day at Capitol Raceway; made a couple &quot;EASY&quot; passes with the new drivetrain. Maybe one of you who is better with the computer than I am, would (PLEASE) post a link to the video for others to enjoy. I feel honored to be invited to the MCACN show! If it doesn't fall in the same week as my yearly November Carribean Cruise I will try to join in the fun! P.S. My W-31 is slated for an article in Muscle Car Review early in 2012. Thanks again guys and until next time..... Dave.
