This is one of the 728 Stage-1s built in 1973, it's verified by the
V in the vin #. This car underwent a body off frame restoration. It
was rust free to begin with. During the restoration it was given a
few upgrades to make it the ultimate. How about a 450 hp motor, a
4-speed and a power sunroof from ASC.
EXTERIOR: Rust free original metal. Is this straight as an arrow.
The black paint has a mirror reflection. There are a few
imperfections- chips on the hood and a couple small cracks on the
roof. The jambs are repainted, weatherstrips were replaced. The
half roof is painted gloss white. A power sunroof was recently
professionally added by ASC, they install sunroofs for GM. The
bumpers are shiny but appear to be original. It has original glass.
It has stock 15" Buick mags, trim rings look new.
INTERIOR: Original, unabused interior. There's no rips or tears.
The white is a little dirty in the nooks and crannies, I believe it
will clean up real nice. The door panels the same way, a little
dirty but they're straight and not beat up, cracked or torn. The
dash pad is excellent, there's no cracks. Headliner is new. It has
a factory gauge cluster. It also has a Sun tachometer, oil and temp
gauges. The owner's manual is in the glove box.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has a correct 1973 455 motor that was given
a performance build. Estimated close to 450 hp. The engine is
painted nice, has Stage-1 chrome valve covers. The air cleaner
assembly is painted glass black and has stickers and heat riser
tube. Features include power steering and power brakes. The wiper
motor is replaced. It has the proper shroud and overflow bottle.
The battery has a disconnect switch. The engine bay is gloss
black.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Perfectly dry clean metal, it has a nice satin
black finish. It has an F 70 15 polyglass tire and a Buick mag for
a spare. The complete jack assembly is properly bolted in
place.
UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame for a thorough
restoration. The floors are immaculate and painted a smooth gloss
black. Uncut original metal. The front end has been apart and
rebuilt. Rear suspension was apart, new bushings and hardware.
Upgraded Koni gas shocks all around. Disc brakes in front. The
hoses and lines were replaced, E-brake cable is hooked up. Dual
exhaust has turn down tips. The fuel tank was clear coated. Looking
up at the motor it's clean, starter looks new. The Muncie 4-speed
is believed to be an M-22. The linkage and clutch was replaced. In
back it has a 3.42 posi.
This is a unique, very rare car. It also makes a great driver, take
it anywhere!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
