Staples, Minnesota, United States
|
For sale today is a 1972 Buick GS 455. According to all the records there were 1015 of these built. I believe this was the lowest production year for this model making it the rarest. The car features its original numbers matching drivetrain which is a 455 ci. V-8, Automatic Transmission and 3:08 open rear differential. Car also includes an original build sheet which was found above the gas tank. Also included is a thumb drive with several hundred pictures of all the parts and car before and after work was done and in various stages. This was a frame off restoration. The frame and entire body was stripped and sprayed with PPG DP90 before any work was done. The car was from Nevada and was in very solid condition when purchased and did run and drive. There were two soft spots the size of a golf ball behind each rear tire where the jack had been stored and set against the inside of the quarter panel since 1985 when the car was parked. these were cut out and small patches were welded in place The car is painted the original color of Burnished Copper (DuPont base coat) and PPG Deltron 2002 Clear Coat. The car was originally a white vinyl top car but I did not put the vinyl top back on, I do have all the original trim if someone wished to put one on. (holes etc. were removed-welded). Some of the factory options include: 455 ci. V-8, Ram air, Automatic Transmission, Air conditioning, Power steering, Power Brakes (front disc), In Dash Tach (replaced with new original style replacement), ralleye gauges, Factory 8-Track Player, Custom Build-up interior: Front split bench with folding armrest and 3 color side panels and lots of d'ecor and trim and lighting options (see build sheet picture). The heads have been completely rebuilt with hardened seats, new springs and valve job. The block has new main and rod bearings, new rings, timing gear and chain and water pump. The carb has been completely rebuilt and is the original carb to the car. The car has all originally equipped components except the following: New in dash tach (exact factory replacement), new wiper motor, new master cylinder and rear wheel brake cylinders and new brake pads and shoes, end links for stabilizer bar, new front door panels, new headliner and sail panels, new carpet, rocker moldings, new grill emblem and fender 455 emblems and trunk stainless trim. New factory style exhaust including tailpipes, mufflers and front pipes, battery and wiper fluid bottle and water pump. Chrome wheels are the original wheels with new lug nuts.
As the car sits right now it needs the following to be 100% complete: The finish needs some light sanding and buffing to be perfect, the ralleye gauge pod appears to have a grounding issue from what I can find out as the fuel gauge is on over full, the temp gauge and oil gauge are not responsive. The exhaust system should arrive any day and will be installed at that point, I have a new correct non-perforated headliner and sail panels but have had no luck in finding someone to install them yet. I will continue to work to finish the car but whatever is left will be taken into account when making an offer. I have spent over a year working on this car to ensure the best job possible. This is a very nice and solid investment vehicle and the few items it still needs are very minor compared to the work done on this car. For everything else I have included pictures which I hope answer many questions. Thanks for looking and reading my rambling. Buyer to deposit $500.00 non refundable to paypal account within 24 hrs of purchase. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early. May consider partial trades as well. You will have to arrange your own transport. thank you again. I am not a car salesman but believe in total honesty and Its very hard to describe and list everything that people would want or need to know when deciding on a purchase so please ask questions if I have missed anything important. contact John at two-1-8-four-1-four-02eight0. |

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.
Buick Verano to go turbo-only for 2014?
Sat, 22 Dec 2012If VIN tags recently posted online prove accurate, the 2014 Buick Verano may be getting a new base engine. Presently the Verano makes use of GM's 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine in non-turbo trim; 2014 documentation appears to indicate that GM's entry-level luxury compact will instead feature a 1.6-liter turbocharged mill.
If this is the same engine seen in Europe, GM Inside News suggests it may offer 192 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque - useful improvements over the larger naturally aspirated mill's 180 hp and 171 lb-ft. More importantly, the downsized engine would likely improve on the Verano's current fuel mileage estimates of 21 city and 31 highway.
We like the Verano in both of its current iterations, but the 1.6 turbo engine sounds like a worthwhile upgrade if this reports turns out to be true. Plus, if more performance is your bag, baby, there's always the Verano's optional 2.0 turbo engine with an impressive 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft from just 2.0 liters of displacement.
GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold
Wed, 15 Oct 2014People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.
