    I am in a position where I have decided to part ways with my 68 gs350. The car is from the west coast. Title i got was from oregon. The car is a decent cruiser. It is not perfect by any means. I will try to list the car as best of my abilities by listing the cons of the car. I am not as knowledgeable about buicks as 99% of the folks in this club. So i will try to answer any questions to the best of my abilities. The price im listing at is what I feel its worth compared to other classics on the market not just 68 buicks. If anyone feels the price is to high or to low please comment and let me know as i do need to move this rather quickly. Here is the list.
    1968 buick gs 350 w/455 conv. 400 trans ps manual drums. Red/black

    The good:
    Fresh 455 conv done in aug of 19. Rebuilt internals with a howards cam. Aluminum radiator, dui hei dist 750 quick fuel carb. New fuel sending unit. New master cylinder. Brand new cooper tires. New front drums, hub and bearings. All headlights and tailights work. Non original paint is a 3 footer. Looks decent and shines. I have both hood spears in great shape. Front seats seem to have been redone before me along with the carpet. Headliner and back seat are in good condition as well.

    The OK
    Bumpers and chrome have signs of wear. Dont know if they can be cleaned up or need to be rechromed. Dash pad is good but metal face and cluster could be freshened up. The paint like i said above shines nice but you will see imperfections with a closer eye. There are some bubbles forming on the bottom of the fenders and back end of the 1/4s. The metal behind it and around appear to be solid. The doors and fenders need some minor alignment. The drivers door handle is a bitch to push in but has never failed me. The passenger window seems to be the wrong glass as it doesnt sit well when the door is shut. The door panels are decent but could use some love. The windlace is hanging down above both rear side windows. The rear int lights need to be screwed in and needs covers for them. The radio is missing. The speedo and odo are inop. Have not worked since i purchased it. I dont know if its a bad speedo cable or if the cluster is bad. There is an exhaust leak on the left side where the manifold bolts to the down pipe. Will need new mufflers due to the crappy 350 that was in there. Mufflers are blown out. Pipes are good. Just terrible down pipes and mufflers.

    I didnt list a bad because i really dont see anything bad on this car. To me this is a car that an avg person could tinker with and have a presentable local cruiser for avg money. Its not going to win any awards but will still turn heads. I am proud of the car when i drive it and do not want to get rid of it. But i have to. Please be kind to me and let me know if you guys have any other questions. Im sure im forgetting something but tried to list the car as accurate as i can while laying in bed. I can take pictures of anything that is requested and try to make videos if need be.
