It's got an aluminum headed, 463 CID Stage 1 engine, and it only makes 475 ft. lbs. of torque? How does one do that?
So you buy it for$45K. Put a NEW paint job on it and Rally wheels you could have a really nice car. Surprised to see the base interior (door panels). Get back to the Ram Air induction, not a fan of the electric fans. According to the dash, was once an A/C car. I mean, for 45K that's a great price if it's a REAL Stage 1 and matching numbers (except for the 3.73 differential & Alum heads).
My thoughts too! Honestly, while not my thing per se, I don't hate the paint/engine compartment. Very 80's type build. Prob. orig. 128 base interior. Would look better w/the rocker molding (looks like the mounting strip is even there for it).
I don't think I've seen a cleaner OEM clear top overflow tank. It appears to have never had any coolant swishing around in it.
Now that you pointed that out, I noticed the windshield washer tank is also super clean with no washer fluid. Maybe these are brand new components? Gearshift handle is black, should be light brown woodgrain for a 1970. The engine and it's compartment looks super clean, nicely dressed wire looms. Great buy for 45k. Vet (Navy)
This car's paint vaguely reminds me of a Corvette my brother brought home in the early 80's. It has a very 70's vibe to it. I am not a fan of the paint job but I've seen much worse. As Brett said, putting the rocker trim back on and swapping out to some Rallye wheels, I think it'd look much better.
I agree 100%. I would love to see this car painted in Buick Stratomist Blue. Big question I have, this car looks to be more Show car then powerhouse. Wish there were a lot more stats on the engine. Compression, cam, type of alum heads, who build the engine. It's been on a Dyno, HP seem to be on the low side, especially the torque. Engine appears loaded with power adders. Very strange Buick. VET
Wow, what a transformation! He's got a ton of money in this Buick, WHY, only 45k? Hum, no takers? Because it's ugly and out of the norm for a Buick build? Just don't get his styling. VET
