https://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/pts/d/port-huron-1970-buick-gsx/7224987873.html Not mine, $87,500. nice looking car. Non-numbers matching.
I do not know the production date of this car, but toward the end of the ‘70 model year cars began leaving the Flint factory with the 2-hole cover. So there are documented, original ‘70 models with a 2-hole cover. It was carried from late ‘70 until early ‘72. Then Buick switched to the 4-hole version for the remaining (and majority) of the ‘72 production run. I put photos of the 5 different radiator covers used from ‘70-‘72 in this thread but you have to scroll down a bit to see the post and photos: http://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/plastic-vs-metal-radiator-cover.321133/#post-2680099
No Lie. 90k for a non numbers matching car? No offense meant but. 90k to me is a 100 percent original motor sheet metal etc car. That kind of cash is the value of a car with all that.
It does say "asking" so he is open to an offer. So what is a reasonable price for an NOM/non-Stage/Auto. but restored/done and seemingly (according to what the owner told me) pretty darn nice GSX that maybe needs a few minor things corrected? Not that I'm in the market but if I was, I'd love to have it.
As the ad states it documented to be '70 GSX #318, that would probably be a build date of late March and early/mid April-ish, I believe.
The car is beautiful for sure. In these covid times getting high dollar isn't as easy as previous times. What is a reasonable price lately for these cars? Any gone to auction this year?
A restored '70 GSX 455 non-Stage 1, auto, A/C sold at Mecum Indy in July 2020 for $79,200 The description does not state if it is matching numbers engine, which to me implies that is was not matching numbers. Otherwise the auction house would have bragged about it.
04D 54K miles With premium, Non matching numbers and it was a white car. The white cars never seem to bring as much money.
I have asked about the number matching aspect previously in the original thread on the Apollo White GSX in question, this source below clearly states it was number matching. Does anyone know the real truth about this car? It is critical to know for correct real world valuation of these vehicles. https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1970-BUICK-GSX-212463 Currently my understanding is that White GSX (446370H277685) was numbers, even though it wasn't mentioned in the final two actions last summer (Vannoy and Indy), based upon the detail in the 2018 auction. I agree that, in general, if the number matching language is missing from an ad that usually implies it is not number matching but that is not a guarantee.
Buyer paid $79,200 = $72,000 hammer + $7,200 (10%) buyers premium I agree that a white car will not bring the same as a yellow one. The yellow GSX is a nice car and I think the price is appropriate.
From my understanding there were issues from the first purchase regarding the "original engine". There is a reason it was not stated as such in the last two sales. My guess is someone took that it was accidently not mentioned in the sale from Vannoy and that is why the quick turnover.. You would need to ask the last seller that. Do you think that an auction like Mecum would not post such important info if it could remotely be proven. This especially since it was posted numbers matching for the other GSX? No way it was missed and twice at that.. The Vannoy yellow GSX Sold with fees $140.800.00 Something must have happened on the sale with the White GSX as it is removed from the Vannoy collection sale???? Must be why it was sold in indy a couple weeks later W fees $79,200.00 and another 70 GSX yellow stage 1 auto sold W fees $154,000.00
