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.
If you need to call, my cell phone number is: 214-606-5885. If I am unable to answer, please leave a detailed message or text.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
2013 Buick Encore
Mon, 10 Dec 2012City, Slicker
We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out.
Typically, after driving a new car or truck, we come away prepared to hazard a guess as to whether said model has a good chance of being a sales success. We've amassed enough time watching the industry, scrutinizing the competitors, and so on, to make a reasonably educated bet. Yet here we are, days removed from driving the new 2013 Buick Encore, and we still have no bloody idea.
Opel readying Adam model with SUV cues
Fri, 11 Oct 2013The Opel Adam, the microcar of General Motors' European subsidiary, has seen its sales cool significantly since it first hit the market in the United Kingdom and Europe, but a push is reportedly under way that just might be enough to get the stylish, little car moving again.
Using the Opel Adam Rocks Concept as a template, Opel will ruggedize the Adam, so that it might compete with the growing herd of city cars that sport SUV styling, like the Volkswagen Cross Up and Fiat Panda 4x4, according to a report from Automotive News Europe. Sporting a bumped-up ride height and tougher body work, it's a dedicated soft-roader, but will freshen the Adam's lineup and, hopefully, broaden its customer appeal.
The Adam Rocks, according to IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher, should also make some more coin for GM's struggling European arm. "Automakers are happy to meet demand for SUV and crossovers as the customer pays a premium," Fletcher told ANE. And although the Rocks might have been planned from the start as a production vehicle, the timing, with the Adam's sales slowdown, doesn't seem like a coincidence.
