finally pics of my 70gs 455

hey guys second introduction rtanner from texas new to buicks, Been a pontiac ford bbc guy, got a smoking deal on this gs 455 t replace my 69 judge i sold 6 years ago for daughters college,

 

have not found a car in this condition in ages, that was affordable,

 

this is not going to be a restoration more of a preservation, keeping original paint, repairing the seat cover, keepint the patina underhood, have #s matching motor from wing nut to oil pan, putting rings and bearings in it w a t/a 212 cam, a little head work, mandrell bent 2.5 exhaust, not going to paint motor, just clean real good, leave it matching rest of under hood, if you paint one thing, you gotta paint it all!!!! 116k actual miles, think it will be cool to be orig patina thru out!!!!!

 

very nice ya'll did good!

 

Looks like a short path to a great driver!

 

thanks guys, ive always liked gs buicks and new nothing really about em, then this one falls in my lap, and it just kept getting better the more i looked it and found out about it,

 

can anybody read that cowl tag and tell me what they call the body color, and what the interior is refered 2, looking at the pics its some kind of optional maybe deluxe int?

 

It's a LeMans blue model year 1969 Malibu coupe, with black coated fabric bucket seats :TU:

bump for clark griswald

 

Bob, is spam report sent suppose to mean something?? I bumped this thread for a member clark griswald that had posted in another thread about repainting his original paint car, I bumped this thread after failing at reposting my pics in his thread?? is there a problem with doing that here? if so educate me please?

 

I am loving this! The fact that you will not restore it is HUGE. As soon as I looked at the pics I was thinking how awesome it would be to leave like that and just DRIVE the crap out of it. Awesome score.

 

Thanks Jamie, its been along long time since I found a muscle car in this shape, Im old, graduated in 77, so back in my day it was very common to all kinds of muscle cars in this kinda shape, just sitting, ive had dozens of all kinds thru the years, this is best find ive had In 20 years or more, and its true keeper, also first one not getting a resto, but I actually call it a preservation, I intend to drive it a lot and race it a lot, thanks BTW where do you live?

 

Thanks, its the first time ive ever done it this way myself, ive been painstakingly cleaning the grime from the fender wells and under side of the hood, it is so hard to resist painting, the engine and brackets, and other underhood stuff, but I want the original un restored look, just because to me, its the right thing to do, it can only have original stuff once, after that it really doesn't matter, I am adding a stage 1 cam internally w forged pistons, im going to start posting some progress pics, thanks Ronnie

 

I think he only posted that message to get more traffic to his website in the UK.
He is removed now :TU:

 

ok, thanks Bob, I don't notice that kinda of stuff, thanks for handling it, I frequent boards w a lot more traffic and leeway, than this board, and I want to be sure I stay within the lines here, because every one including you have been super!!!
