Hi John,
I'm not up to speed on Buicks but the closest model I'm aware of is a '67 Olds from Lindberg. It may not be currently produced but they were out within the past 6 years.
There was a '73 Duster available back in '73. The kit out today is the '71 which you probably already know. One doesn't share anything with the other as the original Duster was converted to the Dodge Dart in '75 (also out right now).
You might want to check with Hobby Heaven or Fred Sterns about either of those kits. The Olds, of course, is only useful if you can get a resin Buick body somewhere.
