1970 Buick GSX Testing the waters - $99000

Its got a trailer hitch... love to see that going down the road pulling a trailer. Looks like its been in storage for a while.

 

That tach is too tall looks like one of the Dixco (spelling?) aftermarkets
Non Stage,non a/c, automatic car both 1/4 been skimmed against something and looking at wheel chocks, and dirt pooled on headlight bezels she sits outside. 99k is gonna be high. And get rid of those door edge guards,look okay on a GS but not feelin it on an X lol
So think it has a 3:64 with base 455 with no a/c or only for Stage?

 

I think Fritz is right, looks like an aftermarket replacement hood tach.. other than that, from the pics, it looks right.. and what I would expect an un-restored 47 year old car to look like..

If you end up buying this one, get with me, I have an original GSX hood tach, that needs to be repaired, but it's the correct one for this car, and they can be easily repaired these days.

My old one had a trailer hitch (and dents in the roof from the water ski rack). Plus lots of "class winner" decals in the quarter window. Pulled the boat Saturday & went to the strip on Sunday. Considering the one in CO hasn't sold (?), this one is probably a little high. Rear bumper looks kind of rusty along the top. Neat car though. If I had the cash, I'd be interested for about 2/3 of what they're asking. I "had" a tach too Jim (see my avatar) - Will be going on the Fritzmobile (John If I buy this car I WANT IT BACK!!!...lol)

 

If it truly is original paint and the motor has not been rebuilt I would say yes even with the wrong tach and missing sport mirror. If the interior has been modified then I would say not.

 

My old one had door guards too. Should be a 3.64.

 

I do believe it does qualify as a Survivor....
, but I agree that tach looks wrong......

 

Price drop to $77,000. That happened quickly. Must have taken a dose of Fritzicillin.

 

Yeh there was a discussion awhile back on what rears came based on engine and a/c present or not. Might just be the standard 3:42? Just askin

I was nice but emailed them a few issues that this one was not factory equipped with that the 100k plus cars had (4 speed,Stage 1,frame off resto's) and requested further pictures about 30 minutes ago. No pics but much better price!
Now I only need 76,884 to get it!

 

Dano said " I "had" a tach too Jim (see my avatar) - Will be going on the Fritzmobile (John If I buy this car I WANT IT BACK!!!...lol)"

No problem Dano, I will be running around my back 5 acres with it strapped to my body with an anti tampering trigger on it and a team of Nam snipers but other than that not a problem heh heh
Yer the bestest buddy ever : )

 

Sitting outside in SoCal probably wasn't kind to the interior, hence the lack of pics - Even the paint looks oxidized. The value is in the orig. paint, rust free sheetmetal, numbers matching and never been apart. I'd love to have it. Prob. would never touch it exc. to fix little stuff and buff it out.

 

Wish we could see the factory stripe screw up over passenger quarter

 

It was there, but barely visible on my old car.

 

Buyer just told me he has the original tach & mirror. More info to come as given
