See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Has a primer spot in front of the drivers side door from a dent that was repaired. Needs rear marker light bulbs, ground wire, the ignition switch is loose, the winshield water pump needs to be replaced, and the wiper bracket tightened, the rear engine seal needs to be replaced. The Engine is all original and in perfect running order but its time for a rebuild after 46 years...The inside door jams need to be painted and the decals which i have put on. Have a couple of spray bottles for touch ups of the same color which will be more than enough. I have all the inside door and hood decals as well.."

This is a very rare, all original three times painted yellow and red stripe GS350 with rear weight levelling shocks to give it a nicer look.  Peppy!!  Drives very well and will keep up with the best.  The only down fall is that she is going to set you back a little on gas!  High Octane is all it would take or it will let you know.  She is all original 4 barrel chrome carb cover and the heart is a V8 small block with matching number turbo 2 speed tranny.  Tires are new and so is the vinyl top.  The paint is new and only 6 month old.  Little bondo and fiberglass, the quarter panels have been replaced with steel quarter panels welded on with brass rods.  The rust spots have all be repaired with welds and will last until the next rotisserie years from now.  I enjoyed this car all summer and its time to make room for my next project.  I have looked after this GS350 for 8 years and now its time to let it go.   There hasn't been a day that someone has not seen me drive it and not say 'nice car'.


Changed the oil for the hell of it about 4 times already.  Tranny oil and filter done as well, New GoodRich tires.

Original engine, tranny, 4 bar carb, inside smells like its 46 years old - you know that old car smell only a mechanic can love!!  Has seat covers on original seats.

Fun car.  Lots of compliments at show and shines.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%

Sat, Jun 13 2015

General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.

1969 Chevrolet Chevelle vs 1987 Buick GNX in Generation Gap showdown

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Generation Gap generally tries to adhere to a theme for each episode, and for the final video from the Lingenfelter collection, the series might have its best idea yet - limited-production muscle cars from General Motors.
On one side you get a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle COPO, and it's an absolute sleeper. Other than the SS wheels, this classic coupe looks practically bone stock, at least until the engine fires up. Under the hood is a 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8 making a claimed 425 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This was the sole year for the COPO package on the Chevelle, and Chevy only made about 323 of them.
The Chevelle's challenger is almost as rare and arguably just as cool. The 1987 Buick Grand National GNX looks just as mean today as when new. It eschews a traditional muscular V8 in favor of a 3.8-liter turbo V6 making a claimed 276 hp and 360 lb-ft, although that number is supposedly a bit underrated. Also, just 547 examples of the GNX version were ever built making it quite a collector's item too.

GM trademarks 'Sport Touring' for Buick Regal, LaCrosse

Thu, May 7 2015

Discovering trademarking or patents from automakers always fascinates us since the filings hint at the possible future of motoring. Based on two recent applications, Buick has something possibly brewing for two of its sedans, because the company now has the trademark for Sport Touring on the Regal (pictured above in GS trim) and LaCrosse. According to GM Inside News, both trademarks are dated April 27 and are simply described to the US Patent and Trademark Office as being for "motor land vehicles, namely, automobiles." That doesn't narrow things down at all. However, since the moniker is specifically for both sedans, Sport Touring might be a new trim or special edition for them. Buick had no comment when reached by Autoblog. Of course, there are a whole host of automotive trademarks that are claimed that end up with no actual vehicle in showrooms. Unfortunately, we just have to wait to find out if this is another case like the Buick Enclave Tuscan where the filing offers a preview of the future or a situation like the still long-awaited return of the Supra.
