Frame Off restored perfect, Paint Body, Chrome. This car is show quality. Fresh Buick 455 30 over 262ci, factory crank 10 under TRW speed pro pistons GSCA Popular Mechanics cam, Edlbrock B4B intake, Ported Buick Stage 1 Heads, Mickey Thompson Headers, 1000 cfm Thermoquad carb, Holley Fuel pump and a turbo 400 trans with 3500 10 inch stall converter, aluminum 4 core radiator and Brand new 3.42 Eaton Posi rear end. Too much to list over 50K invested This car is very street driveable, but will also get up and go. If you are looking for a hot Flame Orange 71 convert this is the car. If you are looking for a Bone stock numbers matching original GS you may want to pass. I love this car and it is a show stopper, car also includes a very nice Alpine audio system and a Pearl white stock interior (column shift/Bench seat), I have my eye on a 66 so this will have to go first, or my 74 and that is not moving right now.

I know the guy who restored this car and it is all new from top to bottom. This is a get in and turn the key car. :TU:
John Is this a true 71 GS conv 43467 car? If so, was it a true GS 455 car and what are the cars factory option load and color combo? By the way,nice car!
Hi, I am curious on your carb selection. I am having an engine done to almost the excact specs you have and been told by several sources to run an 830 or 850cfm. Do you think thats too little? Thanks,Ed
Good Morning, This car is not a GS, it is a recreation based on a Skylark Custom. Very nice car. I have 2 cars and the other one is nice but there is not a lot of interest in 74's. I have my eye on a original 66 convert, and I can't afford them all. John
John, was this car in Bowling Green last year at the GS nats? If this is the same one, you have one very nice car there. :kodak:
Yes the car was driven to BG last year from Central WI (previous owner). It is a very nice car, but heck I love all Buicks so I may be partial.:laugh: Old Buicks never die they just resurface. Yea I like the car and it does get a lot of Jaw Drops at the local Anoka MN car show, and it attracted a lot of lookers at the Car Craft nationals in St. paul last summer. It is nice to expose those people to something other than the Norm. I am going to take some more pictures here soon and post them to my photo bucket
TTT, sorry everyone that wanted pictures I have been traveling and I have not had a chance to visit my storage facility to snap pictures. There will be no disappointments with this car. I am open to reasonable offers
After weeks of winter laziness I finally snapped some pictures, but like a idiot I forgot the keys sorry no trunk pictures (car is stored in my Mom's Garage). Anyways I will post trunk pics next time I get over there, it is just as mint as the rest of the car, and has a small sub and speakers mounted in the factory holes. The car is the ultimate Buick convert, if you want a stock looking GS recreation that is super fast and street driveable on 92 Octane this is the car. I found the car locally and it was too nice not to buy. Photobucket with pictures: http://s172.photobucket.com/albums/w9/ylark/1971 GS 455/
