Please do not bid unless you are sure you want it. The last winner acted like he didnt bid on it and never answered the emails I sent for payment or to come get it. It was his loss though he would have got a steal.... so its up for sale again. Hello up for sale is a great opportunity to build a real 1970 buick gs 455. Clear title in hand. Sloan documentation to prove 4637 vin car that makes it a real gs 455. The vin and trim tag both are there and have 4637 code which is gs 455. Race car that has so many parts its unbelievable and took many years to come across and aquire. This car was a race car before we got it. We started to gather the things needed to do a modest restore. We took it apart and never got around to putting it back together. The car ran great and was extremelly fast and a active race car before we took it apart. It was fully functional as a race car and ran extremely well. Was one of the fastest buicks around. The frame is good and the floors are solid except small patches in the corners where the roll cage was. I tried to take close ups of the body to show the shape. Not alot of rust and great if you are leaving it a race car. There was some rust under the weather adhesive when we removed the back window. Not bad and easy to fix as well as it never leaked . The trunk pan was cut for the fuel cell. If you want a race car this is a pretty easy project or you could go back to stock if you wish. The point is there is thousands in parts and thousands in the two engines. You could pop the race engine in and take a little time to put this back together right and go racing fairly easily. It is up to you to bring it up to what you want. I dont think you will every find more buick parts in one place like this. All this stuff is hard to find and very expensive. I will try to list everything and I tried to take pictures but ebay only gives me 24 pictures which was not enough. Everything listed is good parts and usable. It comes with 2 engines. A 430 that was built strictly for racing that has t/a performace stage 1 manifold, worked 1237661 race prepped iron replacement heads , t/a stage rockers and girdles complete assemblies. . Just those few engine parts alone are about 3000 dollars just check the t/a performance website. The machine work , rotating assembly and engine assembly would add another 3-5000 dollars. Topped of with a holley carb and poston buick valve covers. The engine was running great when pulled and freshly rebuilt when I got it . Electric water pump etc. Way to much to list. The guy said he had around 10,000 just parts in the engine not including machine and assembly and I believe it by the way it ran. We all know thats easy to do with the cost of the high end stuff. Also included is a fresh from the machine shop 455 block and caps casting 1241785, crank, 70 455 heads casting 1231786 and a Rare poston buick brand new s divider intake manifold, partial pistons and rod set with arp studs. Full new set of main and rod bearings. Almost complete.The 430 and 455 can interchange the parts between them they are from the same block family outside of pistons of course. A race built 400 turbo trans with tci shield as well. I will try to list all the parts although I may miss a few. Really it is tons of stuff. car itself which is very restorable. Frame is good and entire front end was completely rebuilt front end all a arm bushings, ball joints, sway bar links etc all just replaced and never used. 2 engines 1 race ready to go 430, 1 455 as listed above with many good high end performance parts-2 front bumnpers one in very nice shape-2 sets front parking lights-extra set of rear brake lenses-radiator support and radiator-front grill-lights and front bezels/ door sills-2 hoods one is a tach hood with factory gs scoops and chrome inserts and one reg hood that is blue like the car with a race scoop in the center not shown the picture didnt come out but in the same decent shape as the car- 3 front fenders-inner fender-chrome for the front windshield-back window-front sill-hood/ trunk-front lights-front seats that are torn but can easily be covered the seats are whats hard to find-2 front race seats in good shape -back seat-nice hard to find shifter and center console-2 instrument clusters one with complete fuse panel and all harness for dash and dash insert-glovebox door-2 nice uncracked dash pads-2 complete interiors including front / rear door panels-sail panels-arm rests and rear arm panels-headers and refinished stock manifolds-SUPER HARD TO FIND 455 RAM AIR CLEANER / SNORKEL-new main engine and headlight harnesses from year one that was about 300$ as well as the used ones. fuel cell and holley blue pump-air lift drag shocks and air bags in rear-copy of sloan documentation and full gm buick service manual. check out the pictures way to much to list-the car was complete and running great as a race car before disassembly so most is there to reassemble. Race or restore up to you. Must be trailored of course. The one picture shows what you will need to plan on picking up. Most parts fit in the car and trunk. The 3 fenders, 2 bumpers and 2 hoods as well as both engines will need to be put somewhere because they did not fit in the car. Paypal cleared before pickup and you must pay the paypal fees that I would incur which would be 2.9% basically 29 dollars for every thousand or cash and no fees. ABSOLUTELY NO CHECKS , MONEY ORDERS OR ANYTHING BUT PAYPAL OR CASH. NO SHIPPING OR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS-LOCAL SALE ONLY- as is it is a project car and is being sold not running or put together-please do not bid unless you absolutley want it and take it for what it is-clear title in hand-THANKS ALOT On Aug-09-11 at 19:13:58 PDT, seller added the following information I would like to list what came back in the sloan documentation-the car was sold as/ with a gs 455, auto 400 trans w/ full console,tilt steering, air conditioning, bucket seats, posi rear, pwr disc brakes,was switched to drum brakes by prev owner.pwr steering,am/fm radio, rear speaker and tape deck, rear window defrost, tinted, hd air cleaner, remote rear side mirror, custom upper peak & rear moldings including rear deck lid spoiler which is rare option, protective molding ,chrome wheels and convienance group package. Some pretty rare and nice options from the factory. I wandered if the spoiler was original because alot of people add it but it looked like it was factory and it is. The rockers and girdles as well as the manifold is clearly marked t/a performance. The heads definatly have aftermarket performance springs and valve train looking from the top of the head. Everything in this motor is high dollar including the poston valve covers. I did drain the oil and take off the oil pan incase someone wanted to inspect it. This car ran like a scolded dog. I have had some people ask if they can drive it home. Obviously not and it is a project car and will need work like any project so bid accordingly. This car is a rare opportunity to get into racing fairly easy and quick with some high dollar top notch stuff. . Or a nice gs 455 to restore. Just the engines are worth thousands more than the reserve and thats not including the car which is the main thing and all the parts. It took alot of effort to gather up alot of the rare parts as well. We all know anything buick is pretty rare. I hope this goes in the right hands. thanks alot for looking On Aug-23-11 at 17:20:22 PDT, seller added the following information: I have been asked if everything is there to put it back to bieng a race car and the answer is yes. We kept everything we took off. We spent about 500 in parts to rebuild the front end and then added tons of hard to find parts as we found them. There are lots of parts. About the hoods, one is painted blue just like the car and has a low profile racing scoop in the middle and the other is a factory gs hood with scoops and factory tach mount hole. Thanks
