https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-buick-gs-455-conv/ Orig.: Bamboo Cream/Sandalwood top TH 400 Console PS PB (orig. drum) AM/FM/8-Track Whitewalls Tinted windshield (only) Convenience group Clock Wire wheelcovers
Does this belong to anyone here? BaT is advertising the "GS Stage 1 badging" but clearly the documentation provided proves it isn't a real Stage 1. My biggest pet peeve, why would someone with a perfectly good GS455 ruin it with fake Stage 1 badges...
I get not liking Bamboo, I disagree but owned a Bamboo car long enough to hear that a few times. But why if going to the effort of a color change, would you go to that color?
Clock was replaced with a tach and it also has an aftermarket rally pack...pretty cool...(though I don't like the "conical dust covers". glare can be tough)...
$40K tops, the seller is elusive as to answering questions (as most do). Why, oh why do people ruin a good thing...
The hell you talking about? They're not removing your comments (they don't warn you, by the way, somebody else flags you and then it just posts a non constructive message) and your questions are still there. Seller isn't being shady or avoiding anything, he clearly states, multiple times, that it isn't a Stage 1 and just has the badges. You do know everyone can read the comments on BaT, right? And how about your Flint comment? Aren't you some kinda GS expert? That two minute edit thing on there is a real biotch sometimes when you put inaccurate info out there....almost forces a guy to humble himself and apologize when he's wrong. Almost....later my friends.....
On BaT? 42 so far....what puzzles me is why you'd come on here and post a bunch of B.S. about what's happening on that site with you or that car. Not one thing you've said is even remotely close to what is actually the truth.
You got two on there. That the man or woman correctly, and politely, responded to. Then you come on here and say they're avoiding questions and your posts are getting removed. Neither is truth.
Yes, you, me and everybody only gets to see two (2) comments and those are the only ones that were not deleted within 5 minutes. BaT has a long history of deleting my precisely inquisitive questions. One of the deleted comments/questions simply asked the seller to "please" (and I did ask please) delete photo #100 as it clearly displays a fraudulent Stage 1 emissions sticker. Why wouldn't he just delete it? It is fake, after all. The guy will not concisely/clearly state he is selling a clone Stage 1 car. The narrative states, "...Details include a white convertible top, GS Stage 1 badging...". I have seen idiots like this before at auctions, trying to pass off a fake Stage 1 car. He has had the car for 6 years, states he put 1K miles on it and has Sloan documentation that states exactly nothing more of consequence than the VIN does - it's a fucking joke. Most of the people commenting have 1000+ worthless comments and the bidders (mostly) are serial 1-2 bid trolls who keep the bidding going. Brother, you are on a high horse, for some reason. I have not made any inaccurate statements and you should gain some perspective. Are you selling the car?
....yes, they remove comments all the time LOL ....now, why did you ask about what being assembled in Flint has to do with it being a Stage 1?...read their response to you: "When I purchased the car it already had the Stage 1 badges. The research I have done tells me it's not even though the car was assembled in Flint Michigan". Person straight up says its not a stage 1. Not much clearer than that unless you have a remedial understanding of the English language. And then you asked what Flint has to do with being a Stage 1. Figured an expert like you would know that, especially being a member of v8buick. It gets pounded into your head here. Even a moron like me knows that bit of info, its so prevelant here.....you're making a fool of yourself here and there. Give it up. You owe that person an apology, but I highly doubt you'd give them a legit one without sarcasm.
Keep on digging that hole my friend....I'll straight up ask BaT why they deleted your posts right on that listing for you and see what they say. I'll even post a link to this thread so they can check it out and respond.
This is what the seller said: "When I purchased the car it already had the stage 1 badges . The research I have done tells me it’s not even though the car was assembled in Flint Michigan.". The guy was mixing correct data with false data in the same sentence. You call that clearly stating it's a fake? Unless you plan on bidding, **** for brains, you don't have a dog in this fight.
