    This is the real deal 1970 GS 455 Gran Sport. This car is all original and never modified or restored. Original paint, original interior, original #s matching transmission and original rear end. 82321 original miles. A/C, power disc brakes, power steering, rallye ride control package, power seats, tilt wheel, instrument group with tach, vinyl top and more. Everything is there and nothing is missing. The cars authenticity has been verified by the Sloan Museum and the Sloan Report is included.
    Now for a little history about the car........
    I purchased the car from the Muckenthaler family (Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton) who has owned the car its whole life. They bought the car new from Steffy Buick in Anaheim and the car has been in Fullerton Ca. ever since. It has been sitting for somewhere around 25 to 30 years. I started the engine about a year ago and it went into gear and moved under its own power and has been sitting in the same spot covered up since. The body is very straight with some minor surface rust. The interior is in amazing shape for its age. The original carpet is worn in a few spots, the front seat has a couple spots where the stitching failed and the headliner is drooping but other than that its pretty good. The title is clean and its registered non-op. This is a TRUE survivor car.
    Adding: What you see on the roof is the deteriorating vinyl top. There is no rot, only surface rust.

    To me thats way to much money for that condition. Unless you can do a ton of stuff yourself and you just want a project. I wouldn't think this car is worth more than 4 or 5k

    I agree but that's the Californian inflation price;)

    If the engine/trans is good it’s worth close to asking price, if engine is ticking/clicking low oil pressure not worth it

    The lack of rot is what makes the money more bearable.

    Agree, at 5k I would consider it worth a trip to the bank for more debt ha, 10k is optimistic, it will sell in that market out there tho, 7500 in cash and you would probably be putting it on a trailer

    Currently on its way to LasVegas,my brother struck a deal a hair better than asking price! He said car is extremely clean and complete,nobody has jacked with it in any way and it does run!!! Yes 30 years ago prob a 15-2500 car,but how many unmolested #s match 70 455s are left? Buicks are better cars,if it were a ls5 chevelle peeps would be climbing over each other to pay double! But I quess that is why I always really would rather have a Buick .

    Agree - If it's rot free that should command a $ premium.
