This Auction for a 1970 Buick GS 350 Convertible, It Currently Does not Run, It would need Spark Plug Wires, Probably the Carb. Rebuilt And Old Fuel removed from Tank. It Drove into My Shop 4 yr's ago under its own power and sounded Fine. It did have a rotten exhaust system under it that was taken off.
This Going to be a project. It had just been painted when I got it, However the paint has some chips here and there. Its Air Conditioned car, however the compressor is not on it or here.It does have the mounting bracket in the trunk.
It will come with a new GS Grill in box($500) New Side Markers and various GS Emblems that are new. I think some 455 emblems as well, I'm going to forward what I have.
It was my intent to clone it into a GS 455 Car or Get some white GSX Stripes and install on this Black paint, The paint job isn't Bad, and it Great. It Looks Good. I have not done anything to the car since owning it other than cut the exhaust off and Borrow the Spark plug wires off of it.
It needs a New Top it is ripped ,It does have a power top that worked fine ,upholstery is probably original, no major tears, just well worn. Plan on replacing to suit yourself
I believe the engine had recently been rebuilt, it didn't smoke, knock or miss. But as Stated its been sitting for 4 yrs, The body is straight. The doors close good its got some surface rust in dash corners near A pillars, none that goes all the way thru. Its a good restorable car.
The trunk Pan has either been previously replaced or really in good shape, I'd lean to has been replaced. But can't say for sure.
As mentioned I was going to clone it into a 455 car, So I wasn't real concerned about its current Drive train. The Bumpers are straight and will need a re-chrome. What you see in pictures is what you will get. the pictures were taken 2 days ago.
If you are looking for a GS 455 Convertible see my other auction.
I will help get it on a transport, I'm not going to get it running ,So when arranging pick up keep that in mind. Think -Winch. I do have a tractor that could push it onto a car trailer. but a winch is going to be best plan, and most transporters are geared up for this, you just need to tell them in advance.
Its a Neat car that would be great for someone to get running and cruise around or restore. Your Choice, my intent was frame off restoration. To many Projects and not enough time.

GM issues CUV stop-sale due to Goodyear tires [UPDATE]
Thu, Jan 22 2015UPDATE: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that only 6,281 tires were installed on the CUVs, when in actuality, there were 6,281 CUVs affected by the stop-sale order, totaling 25,124 tires. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has issued a stop-sale order on some 6,300 of its Lambda platform crossovers due to a pending recall on their 18-inch Goodyear Fortera HL tires. The affected vehicles include all three flavors of GM's large CUV platform, consisting of the 2015 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. Goodyear is recalling a total of 48,500 Fortera HL tires after discovering "very small" cracks in the tread, found during internal testing. Of the affected tires, 32,100 were made for GM, Goodyear told Automotive News. According to GM, 6,281 CUVs were fitted with the questionable rubber, totaling 25,124 of the company's 32,100 tires. The remainder were stocked as replacements, a GM rep told Autoblog. The remaining 16,400 tires were built specifically for the aftermarket. Goodyear reports that the cracks do "not indicate a safety issue." Meanwhile, a GM spokesman told AN that stop-sale "will eventually lead to a non-compliance recall by GM."

GM finds steering flaw, decides it doesn't warrant a recall
Tue, Apr 14 2015Guess what? General Motors is back in the spotlight for not recalling something. This time, though, not only does the company have an argument against a recall campaign, but its position is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to The New York Times, over 50 owners of GM vehicles have reported instances of stuck or seized steering after driving long distances without moving the wheel. One owner complained to NHTSA that the "locked" steering of their 2013 Buick Verano caused a collision with a concrete barrier in a construction zone. Along with the 2013 to 2014 model year Verano sedans, Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu sedans are also affected. Considering the popularity of those models, GM needs to have a reason for not issuing a recall, right? "Based on a very low rate of occurrence – ranging from less than one half to less than two incidents per thousand vehicles – and the fact that the condition is remedied when the wheel is turned, GM determined this was not a safety issue," spokesman Alan Adler told The Times. The company has, however, issued a technical service bulletin for owners that complain of the problem. The fix is nothing more than a software update that is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles from new. NHTSA cited GM's actions, along with descriptions of the problems from customers, in its decision not to issue a recall, with spokeswoman Catherine Howden saying, "the symptoms described would be a brief, perceptible change in steering feel that has little to no effect on the driver's ability to safely steer the vehicle." "When terms like 'notchy,' 'stick,' 'slip' or 'feel' are used, it does not indicate a meaningful increase in steering effort," Howden told The Times via email. What do you think? Is GM in the wrong here? Should there be a recall, or is the issue so limited as to not warrant one? Have your say in Comments.

Buick celebrates 110 years by naming most significant model of each decade
Sun, 23 Jun 2013In May of 1903, Buick began work on its first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, the first example of which was sold to a doctor in Flint, Michigan. That first sale was appropriate since later on, Buick became known as a "doctor's car." The Model B is the first of 11 cars chosen by Buick to highlight each decade of the company's 110-year history.
The 1916 D-45 Touring with a six-cylinder engine was Buick's highest seller that year, and helped push overall sales past six figures for the first time, making Buick the top-selling automotive brand. In 1931, Series 50 got an eight-cylinder engine, which helped the company survive the Great Depression. The 1936 Century was the first Buick that could hit 100 miles per hour, the 1949 Roadmaster had a supporting role in Rain Man, the 1953 Skylark had Italian wire wheels and the owner's name engraved on its steering wheel.
Then we have the iconic 1963 Riviera, the V6-powered 1975 Regal, and in 1987, the legendary GNX. With a turbocharged, intercooled V6 pumping out 276-horsepower it could hit 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. In 1999 Buick built the first car in China, the Century, and that country remains the brand's largest market.
