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.

Facelifted Buick LaCrosse caught in China
Tue, 01 Jan 2013Back in September, General Motors promised nine new or refreshed models for its Buick and GMC brands within 12 months, and while we've already seen what the updated 2014 GMC Sierra will look like, we're now getting our first look at what appears to be the facelifted 2014 Buick LaCrosse. Judging by a set of spy shots posted on Autohome showing a Chinese-market model, the updated sedan is getting a pretty big makeover, including a completely redesigned interior and a refreshed exterior.
From the outside, all of the usual midcycle updates have been made to the LaCrosse, including new lights and fascias. The new front end features a larger, reshaped seven-sided grille, LED-trimmed headlights and Buick's signature portholes are now mounted on the side edges of the hood to be more visible. The rear view has similarly small yet refined changes such as the new decklid with a chrome brow that stretches the full width of the car, to a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed out to the corners. From the single shot we can see, the LaCrosse's new rump looks very similar to the Hyundai Equus.
The second-generation LaCrosse helped reestablish Buick as a near-premium automaker with its interior quality, and the next model could very well up the stakes even more. The new cabin design ditches the wraparound wood trim on the instrument panel and door panels for a smoother, more contemporary look. While it's hard to make out all of the changes, we can instantly see that the center stack is now more upright with fewer buttons, but the biggest news might be the cabin technology the 2014 LaCrosse might offer. Checking out the shot of the center console, we see what looks to be a pad similar to the handwriting recognition technology used by Audi, which would make this a first for GM.

Wed, 24 Jul 2013A Nice, New Buick Aims For Middle Of The Road
Any time someone describes some portion of a car or a driving experience as being "nice," I want to either A) throttle them or B) run as fast and as far as I can from that vehicle. "Nice" is among the most insidious words in the English language - at best it's vague, and at worst, it conveys the exact opposite of its literal meaning. Yet it seems to be used with damnable frequency when it comes to verbally illustrating vehicles. "It looks really nice," or "These seats feel nice," or, heaven forefend, "It's got a nice ride," are all windy signifiers of absolutely nothing resembling a concrete opinion. "Nice" is the adjectival equivalent of meekly smiling and nodding your head.
Of course, I'm as guilty as the next person of having thrown English's least powerful descriptor around. There's even a chance that, rant aside, you'll catch me making nice in reviews to come. That's fine, but you should know that when you stumble upon such usage, past or future, that you've found a sentence in which I'm simply applying a bare minimum of effort to the task.
