I have been given quite a few vehicles.
But obviously nothing like that!
Why did they pick you? Did you know them or know someone that did?
Or just out of the blue… there has to be a story?

I've known them for maybe 5 years, and I knew he had a 71 GS. I DIDNT know it was a 455 Stage1, that he bought brand new! His wife mentioned a month ago that they were going to get rid of their Buicks. During the conversation, she mentioned they were going to GIVE away the 71 GS. She wanted to know if I would like it, since I like Buicks! I couldn't say yes fast enough!
At this point, I still didn't know it was even a 455 car, or let alone a Stage1 car.
Was looking in the trunk to see what parts were in there. Happened to look up at the bottom of the package tray and saw a piece of old paper showing through the hole. Pulled the rear seat and side panels. Pulled the vinyl away from the glue. Pulled the padding away from the metal, and was able to remove the build sheet without destroying it. 
Realized that the corner with the vin# was still missing.
Retrieved the missing part, and got it taped back together!

Cleaned everything up, reglued the package tray vinyl, and put the rear back together.
This is insane, know of anyone with a 70 Chevelle ss? 
510 FT LBS of tire melting torque! "On paper, the Chevelle's 450 hp should have dominated. However, vintage and modern Pure Stock muscle car drag races routinely show the Buick Stage 1 winning or matching the LS6. The Buick's massive low-end torque combined with its lighter weight allowed it to hook up and pull ahead before the Chevelle's high-RPM power could catch up"
Buicks dont F around.
I'd take a BOP over a Chevelle :PThis is insane, know of anyone with a 70 Chevelle ss?
Money no object is have one of each divisions top dog A-body from 1970. Each is cool in their differences. Bud a freebie stage one is pretty awesome.
The car came with 3 intakes. The original. An Edelbrock B4B, ( which is what came with the Stage2 package), and an Offy high rise, single plane, dual quad setup!
This pic is the engine in the car, but he never drove it after. The receipt for the intake and Holley 600's, is from 1976. He paid $365 for intake, carbs, and throttle linkage. 
That is so cool!
Omg three intakes and one of them is a dual quad setup? Dang!
