In a perfect world it would be a 70 and have a gold top and gold interior and be a stage 1 car. I know that is a rare combo but it never hurts to ask. I don't care if it is an auto or 4 speed, and I don't care if it has ac or not. I would prefer it to be a good number 2 car either restored or original. Second pick would be burnish top and interior. I'm putting this out there just in case someone might run across one. Please keep me in mind. Thanks!
I can't believe this, this car is 25 miles from me. Thank you again! Please pass any others my way too.
I can't believe it, that car sold this week. It was 25 miles from me for years and at one time belonged to a good friend of mine. I never thought to tell him how much I wanted that color. Oh well, the hunt continues.
Am I seeing it right, is the firewall gold? The car in tallahassee has not shipped yet, I'm going to be able to see it next week. I just want to know what I missed.
I just found out about one in Tennessee. 70 Stage, numbers, buckets etc. More info coming. Pm me if you like and I will pass along what I know.
That's what I thought at 1st & could be mistaken but wasn't the one near him Desert Gold? This one is Coronet Gold. Maybe I just assumed it was Desert but the OP said he got to look @ it before it shipped so he'd probably know. Nice looking car regardless esp. w/o the requisite vinyl top. I contacted the seller for a better pic of the dealer invoice. Hard to make out beyond Stage 1/TH400/console/8-track.
Not mine... 1970 GS455 Stage 1, Desert Gold https://www.tristateautoil.com/details/used-1970-buick-gran-sport/80830503 1970 Buick GS 455 2d Sport Coupe (#665) This is a real GS Muscle car see vin begins with a 446 numbers! 455 cubic inch Buick big block with fully functioning cold air induction system.

Factory rally Buick wheels with a great set of tires, This gentleman's muscle car drives/runs and stops great with reliability. Bit more information: In 1970, General Motors pulled long-standing corporation-wide restrictions on engine displacement, allowing its various divisions to run wild with new powerplants ranging all the way up to 455 CI. In Buick’s case, this newfound freedom resulted in one of the most formidable machines of the first muscle-car era: the 1970 Buick Gran Sport Stage 1. The GS Stage 1 built on the basic formula established in the Gran Sport, whose new 455 CI engine was rated at 350 HP and an astonishing 510 lb-ft of torque, the latter figure all-in at just 2,800 RPM. This was the highest torque rating of any production car except the Cadillac 472 and 500 CI engines, and it was made possible through higher displacement, larger valves in high-flow heads, a performance cam and standard cold-air induction fed by twin hood scoops. The Stage 1 expanded those parameters with even better breathing, incorporating still larger valves with stronger springs for high-RPM reliability, revised porting, a radical new cam and a rejetted version of GM’s versatile Rochester Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor. The factory rated the Stage 1 at 360 HP, but most testers concluded it was more than 400. Next owner will not be disappointed!

That's probably the one that was near the OP. Sucks to pay the dealer markup but at least another chance to buy it! Make an offer. You only live once.
Another Harvest Gold. Pretty sure the under carriage pics are a different car. Did you even do anything w/the Desert Gold one posted above (same car that you missed out on?)? https://www.hemmings.com/classified...m=email&utm_campaign=2022-04-04#&gid=1&pid=67
Thanks guys. Yes I did go look at the one that was close to me even though it was already sold. The car advertised as a desert gold car looks like a burnish to me what do you think? I had not seen the last one put up but it is not desert gold.
Thans for that offer, i may take you up on it. I will give them a call and let you know what I comes of it.
