I am selling my 1970 Buick GS 350 with Ram Air at a very reasonable price. It is very, very original, right down to the Harvest Gold paint job it got from the factory. This is a fantastic automobile to restore, it is a real GS with real value to invest in. It's numbers matching and unmolested. Which means you can get right into the project without undoing the pounds of Bondo that most of these cars have from amateur restorers.
The car is complete and accident free. It has the usual rust spots, it will need new rear quarters, some work on the doors and a new trunk pan as you'll see in the pictures. The floors are some of the nicest you'll probably ever find in an original classic. Completely solid and requiring only minor prep work. The frame and suspension are all complete and very solid. The doors, hood and truck lid open and close as they should. This is a car that can be pushed by hand, but will require a trailer to move.
The engine cranks over just fine and develops oil pressure, but does not run. Not sure why, haven't looked into it too far but you would want to do a proper rebuild anyway and install a new fuel system including a new gas tank to do it right. Brakes will need a complete overhaul. The transmission shift linkage is tight and precise and even the steering feels tightly connected and NOT sloppy and loose.
Glass is all solid except the windshield (cracks) and is probably nice enough to reuse for the restoration. I do not have the radio. This car comes with the original buick magnum wheels, hard to say if they are too far gone, see the pictures and judge for yourself.
One of the more interesting things about this car is that it will come with the original title dated to 1970 and some other paperwork, as shown in the pics. Very unique to find a Buick GS in this condition that hasn't been turned into a rat rod or have its engine ripped out long ago. It's ready to be brought back to life!
Please feel very free to contact me via email or by phone with questions. My cell number is 651-373-7664.
No solicitors, scammers or games. NO TEXT MESSAGES OR EMAIL OFFERS. If you are seriously interested in the car, give me a call and we can talk.

2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4
Tue, 12 Mar 2013Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.
How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
Buick shows US dealers 2016 Cascada convertible
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The affordable four-seat convertible has become a largely forgotten genre in the States, especially with the death of the Chrysler 200 Convertible. Of course, there are still premium options from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz - not to mention more overtly performance-oriented droptop pony cars from Chevrolet and Ford - but if you want an affordable cruiser, you're kind of out of luck. That may be about to change, however, with renewed rumors of the Opel Cascada (pictured above) making it across the Atlantic wearing a Buick badge.
According to GM Inside News, Buick showed off the Cascada to US dealers last week, with renewed word that the company plans to bring it over from Europe for the 2016 model year. The US version will reportedly be practically identical to its German cousin in terms of styling, but the powertrain underneath is less certain. According to GMI, it may use the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is available in Europe with either 168 horsepower or 197 hp.
The Cascada rides on GM's Delta II platform, which also underpins the Verano, and the latest rumor certainly provides even more evidence that the convertible is probably on the way. Speculation about the droptop started when GM CEO Dan Akerson said last year that the car was on his wish list to bring over. Then, the US trademark on the name was reserved earlier this year, and the release was speculated for sometime in early 2016.
