Vehicle Description
1972 Buick GS stage-1 convertible Zone car. This is #9 (Cincinnati
Ohio Warehouse) one of twenty-five Zone cars, eleven known to
exist. Then it was sent to Tatone Buick INC for retail. This car
has had a body on restoration with very nice paint. From what I
believe and also previous owners this car has a very nice original
panel body. It has very nice interior, new convertible top, factory
style well liner, pads and cables. Powered by a 72 455 stage-1
engine and Original BB ...trans. They have had a recent rebuild and
original N25 exhaust tips with dual exhaust. The engine (1238861)
is built to 72 455 Stage-1 with the correct casting numbers, built
to better than 72 specs. The engine has many. upgrades that you do
not see, arp bolts, better compression forged pistons 9.8,
balanced, high flow stainless Stage-1 valves (70.5 CC AVG), pac
springs, PC seals, true roller and so much more. The stage-1 carb
(7042242) was rebuilt as well as the stage-1 distributor (1112016).
I do have the engine complete specs and details, just too much info
for an ad. The Original numbers matching 400 turbo BB trans was
also rebuilt with a NOS modulator and new HD Coan converter.
Everything works as it should, NO kinks to work out on this one...
