71 GS 455 on FB

Not mine. Looks like a nice start for a restoration. Has gauges, tach and N-25 bumper. Cool ride.

Yep was just looking at it and the comments too. Solid start for sure, my only hesitation would be the unpredictability of the car market for 71’s if future owner was ready to sell .
A “it ram when parked 25 years ago” mystery drivetrain can always liven things up in your wallet too. It was parked for some reason,which knowing would be nice.
Brian Trick at least saw it though and had nice things to say about it which definitely helps : )

 

looks like a deal.

 

An AC car with cruise control, N25, AC, etc. As long as it can be verified as a 455 car, which it looks to be, anything south of $10K is probably fair. $6 to $7K would be a super price.

 

That's a '70 only brown woodgrain shifter handle, isn't it?

 

Nice looking car from what it looks like in the pics.

 

I had a fleeting thought of buying this…, lol

 

I'm full up unfortunately . Dang

 

I hear ya, Pat. I like 71’s, and really dig N25’s…

 

Good catch. Buy the car, and immediately sell the shifter handle for a profit. Ha!

 

Yes.

 

Must be gone already.

 

I almost had a though of inquiring about this. Would be cool to have it alongside the Beater. Then I purposely closed my fingers in my desk drawer and my OCD subsided.

 

Thanks for the interest guys. Parked like the other 8 sitting in warehouse for 12-25 years. I noticed the shifter handle when it was purchased and thought weird. Maybe it was broke at some point and that was what owner got 30 years ago. Motor turns over fine and had no noises. Was on my to restore list someday as I liked the options and color and 71 is my favorite year as who hasn't owned a 70. Took a deposit on it today from local Buick club member. More cars to follow and 30 years of parts.
