I am selling my 1970 Buick GS 350 with Ram Air at a very reasonable price. It is very, very original, right down to the Harvest Gold paint job it got from the factory. This is a fantastic automobile to restore, it is a real GS with real value to invest in. It's numbers matching and unmolested. Which means you can get right into the project without undoing the pounds of Bondo that most of these cars have from amateur restorers.
The car is complete and accident free. It has the usual rust spots, it will need new rear quarters, some work on the doors and a new trunk pan as you'll see in the pictures. The floors are some of the nicest you'll probably ever find in an original classic. Completely solid and requiring only minor prep work. The frame and suspension are all complete and very solid. The doors, hood and truck lid open and close as they should. This is a car that can be pushed by hand, but will require a trailer to move.
The engine cranks over just fine and develops oil pressure, but does not run. Not sure why, haven't looked into it too far but you would want to do a proper rebuild anyway and install a new fuel system including a new gas tank to do it right. Brakes will need a complete overhaul. The transmission shift linkage is tight and precise and even the steering feels tightly connected and NOT sloppy and loose.
Glass is all solid except the windshield (cracks) and is probably nice enough to reuse for the restoration. I do not have the radio. This car comes with the original buick magnum wheels, hard to say if they are too far gone, see the pictures and judge for yourself.
One of the more interesting things about this car is that it will come with the original title dated to 1970 and some other paperwork, as shown in the pics. Very unique to find a Buick GS in this condition that hasn't been turned into a rat rod or have its engine ripped out long ago. It's ready to be brought back to life!
Please feel very free to contact me via email or by phone with questions. My cell number is 651-373-7664.
No solicitors, scammers or games. NO TEXT MESSAGES OR EMAIL OFFERS. If you are seriously interested in the car, give me a call and we can talk.

Buick struggling to keep up with Encore demand
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Buick is having a hard time keeping up with demand for its all-new Encore mini-CUV, according to a report from Automotive News. The stylish, lifted five-door went on sale in January, but dealers have reported that supplies have dwindled after the initial high demand, taking the proverbial "wind out of the sails."
General Motors admits that it underestimated demand for the diminutive Buick, which is built in Korea and sold as the Opel Mokka in Europe, where it's also seen success. Buick spokesperson Nick Richards told AN, "We increased production, so there have been a lot more landing within the last month."
Buick has done a booming business, though, even with its limited supply of Encores. With over 12,000 units sold in the first half of 2013, the small CUV is on pace to annihilate industry analysts' estimates, which predicted no more than 18,500 units in 2013. We're not entirely surprised. When we first drove the Encore late last year, Autoblog professed that we had no idea how sales would turn out, as the Encore wasn't really entering into an established segment. Even so, wefound a surprising amount to like in the Encore, enough that we "wouldn't bet against it" being a major success.

Buick GN and GNX will return
Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer shows its fresh face ahead of Frankfurt debut
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Drive down the Autobahn and there's any number of vehicles likely to pass you, and most of them are produced locally. But if you're wondering how that Opel left you in its dust, look closely (and quickly) enough and you might make out the letters OPC on the back.
They stand for Opel Performance Center (the German counterpart to Vauxhall's VXR line) and they adorn performance versions of the Corsa, Astra and Insignia. The latter is undergoing a bit of a refresh and is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks, but you don't have to wait that long as our intrepid spy photographers have caught it in the flesh outside an Opel facility in Germany.
Spied here completely undisguised in Sports Tourer (read: wagon) form, the Insignia has had a few nips and tucks performed, but we'll be more intrigued to see what it's got under the hood. The current model packs a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 driving 325 horsepower to all four wheels, but rumors suggest that the OPC (yeah you know me!) could have as much as 400 hp up its sleeve. That would make this one heck of a sleeper - especially in wagon form - and only make us pine for a more potent version of its twin Buick Regal to roam our highways, too.
