Selling my 1969 GS400 in Fireglow. One of the rarest paint colors for 1969 Buicks, fireglow was offered only during the second half of the model run. Only 126 GS400s were painted this color. Body has been repainted sometime in the past in the original color. Some light rust bubbling can be seen on the edge of the decklid and at one spot on the hood. Other areas showing corrosion are the rear wheelwells and lower passenger fender. Both lower quarters have areas of body filler evident. Trunk floor and floorpans are very solid for a car of this vintage. Only a couple small areas in the trunk showing rust. Rear bumper is straight but will need rechroming. Grille is cracked but could be easily repaired. Replacements are available aftermarket. The remainder of the body is solid to the best of my knowledge. The body work was done before I purchased the car and much of it would have to be gone through again to bring the car to show quality. Drivetrain consists of a 1973 Buick 455, original numbers matching TH400 transmission, and open 2.56 rear end. The car starts and runs well with no leaks anywhere. I have been through most of the mechanicals and have installed many new parts including hoses, belts, alternator, battery, regulator, filters, fluids, all external transmission seals, U-joints, rear shocks/springs, and nearly all brake components. I also rebuilt the wiring harness for the engine. Interior is functional but would require seat covers, carpet, headliner, door panels, etc as part of any restoration effort. Car is sitting on new tires mounted on 15" Buick rally wheels. I have some extra sheet metal necessary to repair the areas listed above. Passenger fender, and right quarter panel skin included at no cost if "buy it now" option is selected. These parts available at extra cost to high bidder if "buy it now" is not chosen. Free shipping available up to 500 miles from Brandenburg if "buy it now" is selected.
