Saw these shots on the HAMB board - Is this the other one?


Here is a photo from about 6 or 7 years ago, at Chick Brignolo's annual party. I don't know anything about this car, but I think it was from NY. The guys picked it up in NY went a couple hours out of their way to Massachusetts for a barbecue, then headed back to Ohio.

I would say it looks like Musclecarjohns car before it was restored, but the cage is not the same? When was the other car destroyed?

On second thought, those extra bars look like they were added to get it through tech. I bet the guy who restored it removed those bars during the restoration.

Correct,same car...those additional bars were removed by the guy I purchased it from.

The only other '67 GS400 built & driven by Ron Pellegrini (owner of Fiberglass Limited) was destroyed and is long gone,this is the only other surviving example ever built.

I got back from vacation friday night and shot some fresh pictures yesterday before the rain came,will post those up hopefully tonight.

Thanks for the welcome to the Buick site Shevelle...
