67 Gran Sport 400 67 Gran Sport 400 Member Registered: 02/07/03 Posts: 66	Here are some pictures of my car. The first one is how the car looked when I purchased it for some parts that I needed for my other GS 400. When I got it home and saw how nice the body was, I had to find all of the missing parts and put it back together. This car was a rolling frame, 2 doors, 2 fenders, and a trunk lid that was junk. The interior as well as the motor and trany were long gone. I am stll working on getting all of the parts, but it has come along way in a year. Thanks, Scott Attachments Description: Description: Description: Edited by 67 Gran Sport 400 (11/08/07 03:26 PM)

Thriller Thriller Member Registered: 09/06/03 Posts: 2205 Loc: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada	Very nice transformation Scott. Looking good. Are you planning on keeping it more or less stock or are you looking to change things around a bit? A car without a drivetrain is the perfect starting place for changes. _________________________ Derek Thille BCA #39416, CBC, MBCC #1984 66 Wildcat Custom Coupe - "Ellie" / 62 Special Convertible / 61 Invicta Convertible / 56 Special 4-door Sedan / 52 Roadmaster 4-door / 41 Special 41SE Sedan / 29 McLaughlin Buick Model 51 2006 Buick Rainier - "Ruby" / 2005 GMC Sierra K2500 - "Max" (the hauler) Thriller's Buick Page

MrEarl MrEarl Long Time Member Registered: 07/14/03 Posts: 3534 Loc: NE Georgia	That is a gorgeous color combination. I really love the 66-67's. I had a 67 Chevelle 396 4 speed in my younger days. I actually went to Atlanta to look at Buicks when I bought it but couldn't get the price right. Wanted one ever since. _________________________ Lamar in Athens, Georgia BCA- 39474, 1959 BDBCA-0021, AACA-228846 1954 BUICK "The Beautiful Buy" 1954 Roadmaster 76R, 2 DR HT - DoraB, (Irene,gone down under) 1954 Roadmaster 72R 4 DR - Buttercup, Dakota, Blue Belle, Virginia, Marietta, "High Society" (thank you Paul Meyer) 1954 Century 66R 2 DR HT- "54Muscle" w/3 speed stick(thank you Jim Schilf & Norm Kortus), Mary Jane Verkauft bis ein, wer 54 Buicks in Deutschland liebt, dankt Freund 1954 Special 41D 4 DR Deluxe Sedan 3 speed- Sugar Magnolia

GSScottie GSScottie Member Registered: 11/08/07 Posts: 10	GOD! What a pain in the you know what! I have been a member for a long time and it wont let me use my old name so I had to make a new one. Let me start by saying that I painted the car is the originial color combo. At first I was thinking of changing the color, but the more I looked into it, I realized that this car is one of maybe 5-35 4 speeds made in this color combo for the 67 GS 400s and this is an early car built 3rd week of December 1966. It is also a bench seat car from the factory. I didnt get the motor or trans with the car, so I found a 70 455 with 104k on it and a 68 M20 trans. It still needs alot of parts and work and I will update all as I go along. I am posting more pictures of it so you can get an idea of the kind of work that I do. I will post more later!

my3buicks my3buicks Member Registered: 11/12/99 Posts: 2483 Loc: Mars Pa USA	Scott, I would sure be surprised if that wasn't the only one made that color - it was not common for the GS 400's to have the two tone paint, it was much more common for them to be either solid color or have a vinyl top. I have been following 67's for 28 years, and while a really sharp combination, not a common one. _________________________ Keith Bleakney Club affiliations: Lambda Car Club International & Allegheny Lambda Region, AACA, BCA #11475, Pittburgh Porthole Chapter of the BCA 1967(3517) Special Deluxe Hardtop AACA/BCA Sr 1972(46667)Centurion Convertible 2004 Rendezvous CXL

I have been following 67's for 28 years, and while a really sharp combination, not a common one. I am sitting here reading this and I hope that you are rite. I wish there was a source to find this information, but I have never found one yet. I did see an Ivory GS 400 4 speed for sale that had a med. green vinyal top with the same color green interior. That one was a bucket seat car. The only other GS 400 I have seen with a painted top was a red car with a white top. I have to think this would have been one of the more common color combos.
