Hello All,
Are you looking for that unique hot rod or muscle car that stands out because it is a little different? I have for your consideration is a 1971 Buick Grand Sport with all the right options that matter. I have owned this car for 7 years, and I feel it is time to move on to the next project. I am not selling this because I have to or NEED to sell.
I have started this project pretty much a part at a time waiting for the right time to assemble. This car has a LOT of power. This is a true MUSCLE CAR! This is not a "true" numbers matching car. I am not sure if it is a "true" GS 455, but I do know it is a REAL GS by looking at the VIN. The GS 350 and GS 455 have the same VIN identifiers. It has ALL of the GS still on it and some extras.
Here is a video of my car at YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw_mzDOQCXs&feature=youtu.be
These are some of the equipment that is on the car:
-original shifter and console
-nice and sturdy bucket seats and rear seat
-the original air cleaner
-tilt column, sport wheel
-factory gauges and unrestored working clock that keeps time
-optional interior light group with map light mirror
-sport mirrors
-455 Buick engine-new Stage 1 (2.25" in 1.75" ex) stainless steel valves
-new Comp Cams Thunmpr Cam, lifters, and springs
-12 Bolt Chevy car rear axle with 3.31 gears-new bearings/seals / non-posi
-Almost complete new interior-new seat covers, door panels, door panel emblems, new arm rests, pads and bases, chrome arm rest backings, seat plastic backs and sides molded in pearl white, new visors
-new mesh package tray
-disc brakes and new rear brakes
-speed-minder speedometer
-replated console plate
-new windshield
-sport wheel
the bad: This car is 99% rust free. There is one rust hole in the trunk near the right wheel housing and there is some rust behind the right rear wheel that in my opinion did not need attention. I did cut out the rust and weld in metal in the front fenders and in one spot under the back seat. There were a couple of pin holes on the front floors that were treated and fiber glassed. The original GS hood had a major rust spot that I had grafted the scoops onto a Skylark hood. It is not very noticeable unless you really look hard. It needs tires-they are dry rotted. The right fender lower bolts are broken, the left fender is bowed out a little. This car was factory Lime Mist Green with dark green interior. The upper steering column bearing is a little worn. The dash bezel needs to be replaced, the windshield wipers work on low speed. The paint is new, but it has issues. The power steering leaks.
I will give you an option as to if you would like to have the Weld Racing Wheels or the factory 15" Buick Rally wheels and center caps.
The positives: This is a running/driving car, almost complete new interior, very POWERFUL car. It can break the 14" wide tires easily. Adult owned and not abused. Rebuilt transmission-it had a 70 Stage 1 turbo 400 trans, but there was an ear broke off so I had it rebuilt and used a different case. It shifts firmly. The interior and trunk lights work except for the map light in the mirror-maybe just a bulb. MSD 6AL ignition box with an HEI distributor. New weather-stripping, new reproduction hood tach, new hood springs. Although this is not a true GSX, it is repainted a factory color and interior option Stratomist Blue and Pearl White interior.
This car is sold as is without any warranties. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 48 hours, the balance is due within 7 days. Balance is due and to clear my bank if cashiers check before picking up/receiving of the car.

2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4
Tue, 12 Mar 2013Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.
GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars
Wed, 23 Jul 2014General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.

2016 Buick Cascada First Drive
Wed, Jan 27 2016Florida became a state in 1845. It is the third most populous state in the United States, home to the most-visited theme park in the world. It is where you'll find every convertible ever sold in the United States, be it a pasty white Infiniti M30 or a Lamborghini. And soon, many examples of the 2016 Buick Cascada will call it home. Florida is full of Buicks. Wonder if anyone bought a Rendezvous Ultra? It's in Florida. The Buick Reatta, the company's last convertible before this? Also there. Buick, however, is eager to get those who better remember Bush vs. Gore than Nixon vs. Kennedy to ask, "That's a Buick?" Which is how we arrive at the Cascada. The Cascada isn't so much a new Buick as a car that's new to Buick. It's been on sale for about three years as the Opel Cascada in Europe, along with badge-engineered siblings sold by Vauxhall and Holden in other parts of the world. Buick took that time to make several hundred changes to the Cascada for US consumption and then found it without many rivals. The Chrysler 200 convertible, Volkswagen Eos, and Volvo C70 would all be prime targets for the Cascada here, were they not all dead now. Buick's gamble is that these Chrysler, VW, and Volvo (also Saab, for that matter) customers are looking for somewhere to go next. The Cascada isn't so much a new Buick as a car that's new to Buick. One thing is certain: the Cascada is eye-catching to Floridians. I had no fewer than six people in Miami and Key West walk up to me and ask what kind of car it was, or even say, "That's that new Buick convertible, right?" Despite being three years old, the Cascada's looks have aged pretty well. And it's been spared many of the tacked-on details, like fake portholes and chrome wheels, that were adhered to the Regal when it made its trip over from Opel-land. Top up or down, the Cascada is attractive. Unlike the Audi A3 or BMW 2 Series convertibles (the former being the Buick's prime target), there's no abruptness to the design, no sharply ending lines. The Buick looks relaxed in a Palm Beach or Palm Springs way, even on the inside with the convincingly stitched dash top and standard heated leather seats (one of the pieces redesigned for the Buick). That being said, the pattern on the seat material is a misstep, looking like it was inspired by Aunt Flora's 1972 patio furniture. Then it's surprising that you don't exactly sink into the Cascada. While the seats are mounted low, they're not pillow soft.
