Body off frame restored, #s match, factory colors! Only 1,416 made!
A sport machine to light your fire. This rare Buick GS 455 is real,
verified right in the VIN. #'s matching motor, trans, paint and
interior colors. To make it better this one includes the build
sheet and protect-o-plate as well as photos of the restoration!
EXTERIOR: These rare factory colors are verified by the cowl tag.
Whoever ordered this car definitely chose wisely! Not your standard
brown or cream colored Buick. The paint on this car looks fabulous!
It was sprayed with great attention to detail and is laid out
nicely. It was then wet sanded and polished to a very reflective
and smooth finish. Looking down the side of the body It is laser
straight. The panels are all aligned nicely and even the big heavy
doors don't sag when opened and closes easily like a new car. It
has dual sport mirrors and a rear spoiler that are painted body
color. The functioning ram air hood also has a tachometer mounted
to it that is functioning. The black power top has been replaced
and is in very nice shape. The convertible boot is Pearl Ivory
color and matches the interior as it should. The grille appears to
be real nice. The front and rear bumpers have been rechromed,
emblems and the rest of the trim is in great shape. It has factory
style 15 inch chrome Buick mags wrapped in BFG radial T/A tires
with raised white lettering.
INTERIOR: I absolutely love the Pearl Ivory colored interior! Not
only does it look cool but it stays cool in the sun. The front
bucket seats have been reupholstered and have new cushions as well.
The seats have a great feel to them and are very comfortable. The
faux wood grain center console with automatic shifter appears to be
original and in good condition. The rear seat has been recovered to
match as well and it has seat belts all the way around. The door
panels have been replaced and have their proper GS logos attached.
The kick panels and carpeting have been replaced. It has
reproduction rubber floor mats. The visors are black to match the
dashboard and look like new. The rearview mirror is original. The
dash pad is excellent, glove box liner was replaced, and its light
is working. It has optional gauge cluster and deluxe wheel. All the
instrumentation, knobs, climate control, and radio appear to be
original and in great shape. This is a fantastic interior that will
have you cruising in comfort and style!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: What a sweet looking engine bay! This rare #'s
matching 455 is a pure powerhouse rated at 350 hp and a stump
pulling 510 foot pounds of torque! The 70 Buick was the torquiest
V-8 produced in the muscle car era. This example which has received
a meticulous restoration looks extremely clean and correct. It has
the factory air cleaner which looks brand new and functions through
the hood scoops. The remainder of the engine appears to be rebuilt
with many fresh parts including the hoses and wires. It features
power steering and brakes. Factory valve covers have been chromed.
It has a factory style radiator, overflow bottle and fan shroud. It
has electric wipers with a fender mounted washer bottle and even
the squirters are hooked up. The bottom side of the hood, fender
wells, and firewall have all been painted neatly in satin
black.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the lid and jamb have both been
painted body color and are smooth and shiny just like the exterior.
A reproduction sticker was added and the well liner and
weatherstrip was replaced. Inside is clean, and solid painted with
a factory style spatter paint. A jack assembly and lug wrench are
included.
UNDERSIDE: The underside of this car is very detailed and looks
amazing! The steering components all look to be in good condition
and are currently working well. The suspension was rebuilt and
upgraded with a Hotchkis Sport Suspension package. Upgrades include
lowering springs, KYB gas shocks and a fatter swaybar in front. In
back Hotchkis control arms, sway bar, lowering springs and KYB gas
shocks improve the handling. A lot of Buicks were still using drum
brakes, this one has front disc, the brakes were redone, the
emergency brake is hooked up. Upgraded Pypes exhaust with an X-Pipe
and stainless tips looks fresh. The fuel system including the tank
and fuel lines have been replaced. Looking up at the #'s matching
455 motor everything appears to be fresh and clean with red paint
and no visible leaks. Same goes for the VIN #'s matching Turbo 400
transmission; it looks nice and clean with no visible leaks. The
trans linkage and mount have both been replaced. The 10 bolt rear
end looks fresh with nice black paint. The floors look very solid
with neatly applied black paint and no rust anywhere.
SERVICE: Our team of professional mechanics has completed a
thorough inspection on the vehicle and repaired or replaced the
following items: resurfaced the rotors, repaired the blower
connection, repaired the headlight connection, replaced the
speedometer gear, and rewired the tachometer.
Desirable and rare, 1970 is the one to have because it was the peak
year for performance. Brown, gold, and green was popular back then
on a Buick but not so popular today! The factory colors make this
one very attractive. It's been body off frame restored too, what's
your hold up? Go fast with class!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
