This 1971 Buick is being represented as an original matching numbers GS 455 Stage 1 wearing some of the original Cortez Gold paint along with a lot of incredible California patina. The trunk floor has a lot of surface rust, so I’d want to pull up that carpet for a closer inspection. Not everyone likes that California sun-baked patina, but I sure do!
I don’t know much about Buick’s, so I’ll let the experts chime in. I was surprised to look-up the specs and see that 10 bolt rears were standard on Stage 1’s. Were these really equipped from the factory with a Rochester carb? They seller claims the drivetrain is all matching numbers and shows the partial VIN, but he doesn’t state any other casting numbers, etc. No word of any documentation either. The car looks very unmolested, so I’m very intrigued. Too bad it doesn’t have a stick. I would add a set of bias ply tires, and... and that’s about it. What a terrific driver.
I wonder how high this unreserved auction will go?
