This GS is NOT a clone. Those who are not familiar with the Buick GS should know that it is truly one of the greatest. undiscovered muscle cars of it's era. 1970 was the pinnacle for all GM muscle cars. and the Buick was at the top of the chart with it's 510 ft. lbs. of torque. No muscle car or sports car had as much torque during this era. Horsepower was rated at 350. Only a total of 1. 16 Buick GS 455 Convertibles were built during the 1970 model year. Of that number. just 192 were ordered in Fire Red. Build date of this car was the 4th week of September. 1969. The car is painted in the original color of Fire Red. It was ordered with a white top and Pearl White interior that includes the Notchback split bench seat with fold down armrest. Our Buick was purchased 3 years ago. It was sold new from Staal Buick in 1969. Prior to purchasing this car. it was owned by a gentleman for about 8 years. He bought it with the same paint and interior currently on the car. Prior to him. it was owned for approximately 22 years by a gentleman that to restored the car. He painted it in 1987. and the paint has held up very well. When painted in 1987. the GSX striping was added to the car. There is a visual flaw in the paint--a small pop of body filler on the lower right 1/4 panel. just in front of the rear wheel well [see photo]. Otherwise. the paint is very bright and has a nice shine. and has been waxed regularly. As for the mechanical condition of the car. it is very strong. The odometer reads just over 67. 00 miles. and the title reads as actual. After rebuilding the entire front suspension. and seeing that the original riveted-in ball joints were still on the car. we believe these miles are accurate. The original transmission is still in the car [with the VIN stamped on the driver's side of the housing]. The engine is from a 1971 Buick GS. and was installed in the car well before the previous 2 owners. so some time in the mid to late 70s. It is stamped "TR" showing that it came out of a 1971 GS. The previous owner had re-gasketed both the engine and transmission in 2010. He also had a new convertible top with glass rear window installed in 2009. After purchasing this car. all of the mechanicals were gone through on this vehicle. Here is a list of most of the work done to the GS:--Original 2. 93 Rear Axle was completely rebuilt. out of the car. All internals are either new or rebuilt. A new Eaton Posi-Traction unit was added to help keep those 510 ft. lbs. of torque under control. The housing was professionally repainted. as well--Brand new Brake Drums.
