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.
If you need to call, my cell phone number is: 214-606-5885. If I am unable to answer, please leave a detailed message or text.

Buick Envision CUV launches in China, is America next?
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Buick is launching its new midsize Envision crossover in China at the Chengdu Motor Show, where it will slot between the subcompact Encore and larger Enclave. While it might be hard to muster too much excitement about a Chinese-market crossover, don't completely ignore this one. There's a very good chance it could be on sale in North America to fill the same hole in the brand's lineup over here, possibly as a 2016 model.
We recently spied the Envision completely undisguised as it was arriving at the Chengdu show for its debut. The CUV still looks like a stretched Encore from some front angles, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's got a similar oversized grille, hood vents (presumably faux) and large greenhouse as its little brother. Where the midsize CUV differs is its prominent crease running down the side and the different rear treatment, with wing-shaped trim cutting into the taillights.
The interior looks like a pretty nice place to spend time, too, with a predictable mix of leather, wood and metal, and it should be quiet in there with its active noise cancelation system. Infotainment is provided by an eight-inch touchscreen with a touchpad and voice controls.
Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak
Thu, Apr 16 2015Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.
Next-gen LaCrosse, Cascada convertible coming to Buick showrooms in 2016
Thu, Jul 24 2014It's difficult to overstate how significant the post-bankruptcy years have been for General Motors' Buick brand. Arguably the most improved American automaker, Buick has rounded out its range with an excellent compact in the Verano, a well-balanced midsizer in the Regal and a segment-busting mini-CUV, with the Encore. Seeking to keep that momentum going, the next several years will see the brand address a trio of its most obvious issues. First and foremost will be a replacement for the aging LaCrosse, a vehicle whose only bit of attention since its 2009 debut was a very light refresh in 2013. According to Automotive News, we should expect the next-generation LaCrosse to arrive late next year or early in 2016, as a 2016 model. AN expects big design changes, as Buick attempts to further the LaCrosse from its popular platform-mate, the Chevrolet Impala. The changes won't be so radical, though, as to do away with its front-drive architecture, as the latest version of the Epsilon platform will underpin the next LaCrosse. The 3.6-liter V6 is likely to carry on, although a smaller, budget-minded offering is also extremely likely (we'll eat our hat if it's not the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the Regal, Verano and Cadillac CTS et al.). The other issue plaguing Buick's lineup is a lack of a midsize crossover. This is particularly damning for the brand as most of its showrooms are shared with GMC, which boasts its own midsizer in the form of the Terrain. With the upcoming Envision (see here for teasers), that problem should be addressed. Like the LaCrosse, the Envision will likely be a 2016 model. It will debut and launch in China early next year, while we can expect it to arrive stateside later next year, or even early in 2016. For American consumers, both a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and the aforementioned 2.0T could see action in the Envision. Finally, while Buick can boast a pair of vehicles available with manual transmissions, it's still far from what we'd call a brand for fun driving experiences. Of course, one way of solving that problem is with a two-door convertible. Yes, it's extremely likely that the Euro-market Opel Cascada convertible will be sold in the US early in 2016. Whether it keeps the Cascada name is unclear (all in favor of Skylark, say "aye"). Regardless, adding a reasonably priced, relaxed, two-door droptop to the Buick range to fill the space left by the not-so-dearly departed Chrysler 200 Convertible seems like a no brainer.
