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? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif 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. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Thanks for the welcome to the Buick site Shevelle... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
