Hello All,
Are you looking for that unique hot rod or muscle car that stands out because it is a little different? I have for your consideration is a 1971 Buick Grand Sport with all the right options that matter. I have owned this car for 7 years, and I feel it is time to move on to the next project. I am not selling this because I have to or NEED to sell.
I have started this project pretty much a part at a time waiting for the right time to assemble. This car has a LOT of power. This is a true MUSCLE CAR! This is not a "true" numbers matching car. I am not sure if it is a "true" GS 455, but I do know it is a REAL GS by looking at the VIN. The GS 350 and GS 455 have the same VIN identifiers. It has ALL of the GS still on it and some extras.
Here is a video of my car at YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw_mzDOQCXs&feature=youtu.be
These are some of the equipment that is on the car:
-original shifter and console
-nice and sturdy bucket seats and rear seat
-the original air cleaner
-tilt column, sport wheel
-factory gauges and unrestored working clock that keeps time
-optional interior light group with map light mirror
-sport mirrors
-455 Buick engine-new Stage 1 (2.25" in 1.75" ex) stainless steel valves
-new Comp Cams Thunmpr Cam, lifters, and springs
-12 Bolt Chevy car rear axle with 3.31 gears-new bearings/seals / non-posi
-Almost complete new interior-new seat covers, door panels, door panel emblems, new arm rests, pads and bases, chrome arm rest backings, seat plastic backs and sides molded in pearl white, new visors
-new mesh package tray
-disc brakes and new rear brakes
-speed-minder speedometer
-replated console plate
-new windshield
-sport wheel
the bad: This car is 99% rust free. There is one rust hole in the trunk near the right wheel housing and there is some rust behind the right rear wheel that in my opinion did not need attention. I did cut out the rust and weld in metal in the front fenders and in one spot under the back seat. There were a couple of pin holes on the front floors that were treated and fiber glassed. The original GS hood had a major rust spot that I had grafted the scoops onto a Skylark hood. It is not very noticeable unless you really look hard. It needs tires-they are dry rotted. The right fender lower bolts are broken, the left fender is bowed out a little. This car was factory Lime Mist Green with dark green interior. The upper steering column bearing is a little worn. The dash bezel needs to be replaced, the windshield wipers work on low speed. The paint is new, but it has issues. The power steering leaks.
I will give you an option as to if you would like to have the Weld Racing Wheels or the factory 15" Buick Rally wheels and center caps.
The positives: This is a running/driving car, almost complete new interior, very POWERFUL car. It can break the 14" wide tires easily. Adult owned and not abused. Rebuilt transmission-it had a 70 Stage 1 turbo 400 trans, but there was an ear broke off so I had it rebuilt and used a different case. It shifts firmly. The interior and trunk lights work except for the map light in the mirror-maybe just a bulb. MSD 6AL ignition box with an HEI distributor. New weather-stripping, new reproduction hood tach, new hood springs. Although this is not a true GSX, it is repainted a factory color and interior option Stratomist Blue and Pearl White interior.
This car is sold as is without any warranties. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 48 hours, the balance is due within 7 days. Balance is due and to clear my bank if cashiers check before picking up/receiving of the car.

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.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
