Seems nicely done but what I thought was interesting is that it's an 08B body. One of the first '70 GS 455's made. Shame they didn't post a data tag pic; might have to request one. https://www.hemmings.com/classified...html?utm_medium=email&utm_source=saved_search
Needs a few things to look a little more correct but I agree it seems nicely done. Put some gauges in, put the white letter tires on the outside, few fixes under the hood and this could be a really nice driver for someone.
Month, August (08) Week, 2nd week (B) They are basically stating it is one of the “first jobs”, as in one of the first cars of the 70 model year, built in August of 69. Duane
Did you notice the front bucket seats, they lean way to far. That's a repair. Looks like the back seats had some marks on them too. But, it could be a bad photo. The lift pics look good. I noticed, since this is a very early 70 GS, Buick didn't provide the indents to drill for a rear spoiler to be mounted to the trunk. Someone did a nice job. I wonder what difirential is in it? I don't see a posi tag on the diff cover. VET
The seats more than likely have washers under the front of the bracket.... Tall mans trick... Or leg room extensions----- https://www.summitracing.com/parts/opg-ch28991 Possibly both...
Why, aftermarket radiator with poor shroud coverage? Seems they always detail the exterior, but never spend a dime on the interior (seems beat up/dirty for a new fancy body-off restoration). Don't like when they spray paint black over everything (rust). Would be nice to see receipts for the "body-off restoration" and engine rebuild (with 1K miles)...
If you look at the gap between the back of the seat where it meet the bottom, there is no gap. I had the same issue with my bucket seats. To cute this issue I added extra rubber stop seat back stops and it worked out perfect.
I too noticed the interior for a newer resto job looks pretty worn. The pics are not the best I've ever seen either. The aluminum radiator is usually installed because of a high temperature water issue. Best first step to take and the second is to buy TA's High performance water pump for the 455 BB. Worked for me.
