'71 GS (455)

Not a bad deal seemingly & nice looking car but hat's w/the headlight bezels? No mention of #'s but frame part # would verify.

Sad to see the dreaded brown letter BFGs rearing their ugly heads again.

Simple fix don’t remove the blue!or reverse the brown wall?

 

Bet it's Brown underneath that blue.

 

Hood pins. Really.

 

Pretty low asking price $31,995.

 

NO A/C, that to have that down South. Lol

 

Looks to be a factory a/c car but like so many it's missing a lot of parts. At least they can't say it just needs a charge.

 

Car is a mess imo....70 hood bar..chevy windshield washer jug....and just edgy in general

Anyone that would use that washer jug is a hack

I wouldn't drive it if given to me

 

It was an A/C car, it has the dash A/C switch and A/C dash vent. Also, it has added GSX side view mirrors. Vet

 

Oh yea. I was so distracted by the headlight bezels I forgot about that.

 

The mirrors were optional on '71-2

 

Thanks Dano, didn't know the GSX mirrors were optional for the 71 & 72 GS Buicks.

Too bad Buick didn't do that for the 70 Buick GS's. I love the look of the bullet mirrors. VET

 

"period correct 455"

 

Kerry, speaking of period correct, isn't your Buick a 70 GS? It didn't come with GSX mirrors, and a rear spoiler did it. LoL

 

They are called "Sport Mirror" not GSX mirror.

 

Correct, or should I say not correct?

I posted the period correct thinking that this car in Charlotte could be a 350 car originally

 

I see. it's listed as a "1971 Buick GS400 455". I don't believe I've ever heard of a GS being both. LoL VET (Navy)

 

Thanks, I stand corrected.
Since they were not an option for the 1970 Buick GS 455, I just got used to saying GSX mirrors and I also use that term to search on-line for them.

I have these "Sport Mirrors" (that originally came off a GSX) on my 70 GS 455. I love these mirrors even if they are not "correct" for my car.
Adds a little more muscle look to the car.

 

Classic car prices must be in the tank for Streetside to have even a cobbled up gs priced that low.
