Not mine, just sharing for my fellow Buick brothers and sisters:

Not bad. Interesting that it's a GS California that was made in Canada. They should have made a "Canada" emblem for it.

 

Unfortunately I doubt even at that price, which really isn't unreasonable, that anyone would restore it.

I like the side marker light.

 

Dano is probably right. Without a motor, it makes it that much harder to justify buying the car. The grille looks to be in better shape than the NOS one I got from my local Buick dealer. Wish I could swap it and the bumpers between the 2 cars. The hood alone on that car is worth about 1/3 of the car's asking price.

 

I was under the impression that all the GS California cars were made in Fremont?

 

$1500 & it'd be worth it if one didn't have to travel too far to get it.

 

I was thinking it wasn't too awful bad, either. I think my Malibu has way worse rust problems. I think the car is in South Carolina, which isn't too bad a distance. I just have no where to put it and no time to work on it (lately).

I got a chuckle out of the marker light too, and that steering wheel/blade...

 

The Body Number Plate says OS for Oshawa, ON:

 

Some of you were not on the board when there was a debate about Cali GS’s. I owned one with a build sheet and still got questioned on its authenticity.
Forgive me as it’s been a while… the California option code is on that body tag.. I can’t remember which one it is… ?
