1970 Buick Gs 455 Coupe Sloan Documentation Must See! on 2040-cars
Cleveland, Ohio, United States
|
1970 Buick GS 455 Offered for sale is the Buick seen below. We took this car in trade on a new Mustang. It is a real GS 455 car originally from Alabama. Car was originally built at the Kansas City plant. Optioned with seamist green exterior, green vinyl roof and black bucket seats. Sold new at Grady Buick in Mobile Alabama. The original owner was a Alabama state trooper. The original owner kept the car for 34 years then the second owner purchased and moved the car to Indianapolis. The gentleman in
Indianapolis originally bought the car because his son was interested in a car
to take to the strip. In 2004 it was taken to Indy Speed Custom and restoration
shop. There they spent over $8,000 going over the car and making necessary
repairs. You can see the bill below. It was then taken to the Tin Ranch where
it was repainted the original seamist green while retaining the original vinyl
roof. You can also see some photos of the car while being prepped below. In 2005 the GS 455
began its transformation to Stage 1 style specs. Over the next 3 years the engine
was pulled, rebuilt and upgraded. All of the work was completed at Mikar
Automotive Shop in Carmel Indiana. Not only was the engine upgraded with TA
performance roller rockers, TA040 forged pistons, TA red Buick Stage 1 valve
covers, Edelbrock performance Carb, Edelbrock performance manifold, there were
many other upgrades which included ceramic coated satin black Stage 2 headers,
Flowmaster Force II exhaust, Tie rods and center links and idler arms replaced,
new radiator, trans upgrades, fuel pump upgrades, new alternator, thermostats,
belts, engine mounts, fuel lines, tires, trans lines, wheel cylinders, upgraded
gauges, power brake booster and much more. Again you can see the bill and the
details below. These upgrades came to a total of over $26,000! It took from
September of 2004 to June of 2006. Shortly before the
car was traded to us the previous owner had noticed the car had developed a
noise in the motor. The oil pump had failed. The engine was removed, the came
shaft was sent and repaired, the main bearings where replaced, the oil pump was
rebuilt, the distributer gear was replaced and iginition wires were replaced at
a total cost of $4,000. This is a real
factory GS 455 that comes with Sloan documentation. Car runs very strong. It is
a pleasure to drive. I had the a/c gone through and it blows cold but the
drivers side vent does not work. It needs the vent tube replaced but we can’t
find one to put in it. The rest of the interior is very nice but it does have a
couple of minor splits in the rear seat at the seems you can see pictured
below. The factory radio is in the car but it does not work. The exterior is very
nice but under close inspection you can see some of its age. The body is very
straight and solid. There is some shrinkage in the paint on both quarters I
tried to show in the pics below. The vinyl top is original and shows some signs
of age but is presentable. There is one small spot on lower right front fender
that is starting to break out also which is pictured below. The bumpers are the same they look but under
close inspection they show their age. Overall this is a
very nice presentable car that has had a lot of money spent to get to this
point. A solid number 2 much better then just a driver but not a perfect show
car. If you can make arrangements to pick up I do have some of the original parts including valve covers, exhaust manifold, intake, carb and cam shaft.

A Buick Regal wagon is coming to America
Fri, Mar 17 2017The signs have all been pointing to the US getting a Buick version of the gorgeous Opel Insignia wagon, and we now have the most concrete evidence yet that the rumors were true. Our spy photographer caught one of the wagons out testing, and it features a number of styling cues that indicate this one is coming to America. The most obvious change is the grille. While the overall shape remains the same, the look of the grille itself is altered. The geometric slats of the Opel- and Holden-badged versions have been exchanged for Buick's trademark waterfall bars. The badge itself is significantly larger, too. Aside from that, a close look reveals subtle changes along the lower edge of the car. The fenders seem to be slightly flared. They're complemented by sideskirts that are rounder and chunkier than that of the normal Insignia wagon. These styling touches also suggest that this Buick variant will take on the psuedo-crossover aesthetic with black plastic body cladding. If this is the case, the Buick Regal wagon could be the high-riding, plastic-clad Regal TourX that's been rumored. We know that General Motors trademarked the TourX name a while back, and Buick wants more crossovers or crossover-esque vehicles since they make up the majority of the brand's sales. It would also be an excellent option to established models such as the Audi A4 Allroad, Volvo V60 Cross Country, and Subaru Outback. Considering the fact that we've seen the Opel Insignia and Holden Commodore revealed already, we expect the Buick versions to be fully revealed sometime this year. Related Video:
Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Wed, 24 Jul 2013A Nice, New Buick Aims For Middle Of The Road
Any time someone describes some portion of a car or a driving experience as being "nice," I want to either A) throttle them or B) run as fast and as far as I can from that vehicle. "Nice" is among the most insidious words in the English language - at best it's vague, and at worst, it conveys the exact opposite of its literal meaning. Yet it seems to be used with damnable frequency when it comes to verbally illustrating vehicles. "It looks really nice," or "These seats feel nice," or, heaven forefend, "It's got a nice ride," are all windy signifiers of absolutely nothing resembling a concrete opinion. "Nice" is the adjectival equivalent of meekly smiling and nodding your head.
Of course, I'm as guilty as the next person of having thrown English's least powerful descriptor around. There's even a chance that, rant aside, you'll catch me making nice in reviews to come. That's fine, but you should know that when you stumble upon such usage, past or future, that you've found a sentence in which I'm simply applying a bare minimum of effort to the task.
