Wow, I was going through the California registrations and found a
temporary permit with my name on it. I sold this car in 2005 to a
big time collector!
EXTERIOR: It was stripped to bare metal and repainted in 1991. The
fact that it still looks amazing today says a lot, it was done
right and not full of fillers. It's straight and fits right too.
Original code 75 Fire Red is smooth and glossy. The chrome and trim
is straight and shiny. I think the white vinyl top looks great
against the red, it is slightly aged. All 4 headlights are correct
T-3s It is sitting on original 15 inch chrome Buick mags with BFG
tires.
INTERIOR: I think the interior is a big plus. Many Buicks were
bench seats with auto on the column, not only is this a factory
buckets with console but it's also a factory pearl white which is
gorgeous. It also has the factory gauges and tachometer. From
carpet to headliner it's in great shape. The interior lights work,
the dash area is very clean, complete set of original
seatbelts.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is the VIN # matching original Stage-1
motor. It was rebuilt, bored to a 462, dyno tested at 399 hp and
445 lbs of torque. It's completely stock on the outside including
the Stage-1 chrome valve covers, complete ram air assembly
including the heat riser tube. It also features power steering and
power brakes. Everything is clean and proper: squirters are hooked
up, the overflow bottle is not cracked, it has rubber flaps over
the suspension, both horns are hooked up etc.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
slick. Inside is clean metal with spatter paint. It does have a
spare tire and jack assembly.
UNDERSIDE: This has the Rally Ride package which includes rear
boxed control arms, front and rear sway bars and stiffer springs.
The steering and suspension looks like it's been gone through. This
has optional disc brakes in front. The brake lines have been
replaced and e-brake is hooked up. It has the correct dual exhaust
system. The fuel system looks like it's been replaced including the
tank. Looking up at the motor it is clean. It has the stock fuel
pump, starter and flywheel cover. Original VIN number matching
Turbo 400 automatic. The tag riveted to the side has the code BB
which is unique to this Stage-1 only. The drive shaft was restored
and even has correct assembly line markings. It has its original
rear end with 3.64 posi gears only available in non a/c cars. The
floors are clean rust-free metal with the light undercoat. The
chassis has been prepped and painted semi-gloss black.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and replaced the fuel pump, replaced
the water pump, thermostat, and housing, rebuilt the carburetor,
repaired the reverse lights, repaired the fuel gauge, cleaned the
headlight connectors, adjusted the ignition lock rod, replaced a
power steering hose.
Going fast with class! The 1970 Stage-1 is one of the big dogs. AKA
Hemi killer, Motor Trend reported a 13.38 1/4 mile time back in
1970. This one here is investment grade considering low miles, #s
matching and the abundance of documentation. We have an appraisal
from the President of the Buick GS Club of America, in 1992 it was
$19,500. I wish I knew what I sold it for in 2005, probably in the
60s. The question is how high do you think it will be 10 years from
now? It's proven to be a great investment so far!
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.
