There's a torque monster. Man Charley, you SURE you don't want to adopt me?

That 8 track placement is crazy cool.

What's with the Texas plate, did you steal it from my back yard????

Houston

Stunning car!

$6115.75 Whoa !!!

Completely off topic, but that MIC notepad reminded me of that insurance company. When I worked at the Buick dealer in OKC back in the 70s they routinely sold MIC policies to customers as an extended warranty on new cars (after GM went from 5/50 to 1/12). They also sold policies on used cars. Horrible coverage. The way the claims were handled, only the original part that failed was covered. Example: Water pump fails. Fan comes off and goes through the radiator. MIC would only pay to replace the water pump, but nothing else. Not the fan and not the radiator. All the techs referred to it is MICKEY MOUSE insurance. Lots of unhappy customers.
Sorry for the hijack. Back to your regularly scheduled program.

Lynn, being in the insurance business for 43 years, that can be a problem. Head gasket goes, you get a new $25 head gasket, but the $5,000 to replace the gasket is not covered.

That's a rip off.

You're welcome!
 

First thing.... that stupid air cleaner sticker needs to go!

Why didn't you tell me that before I bought it ??????

Be thankful that I told you now before your first Cars & Coffee. 😆

He has already removed it.

Ha! He may have asked me about that and I told him then.

Got it.. Nice car.

.....AC blows cold.

.......

I see it has the "Big Boy" alternator for rear defroster cars. 80A I think?

You guys keep parading these cool Poncho's and Buicks in front of me and I'm gonna want one...:beers:

That fan shroud has it's own zip code.

And TWO springs to pop the size of Delaware hood up... LOL
As said, beautiful car !

----This 71 beauty of an SJ was optioned virtually the same as the 72 GP SJ that I ordered new in late 71. Only difference was that I had Pewter Silver with matching fabric int and the rubber faced Honeycombed wheels. Brings back good memories, Charley. And,,, yours is a gem, as usual. Love it!....Bill S
