Numbers matching engine and drivetrain rebuilt by Buick specialists in NY State to stock specs.No modifications of any sort.(Please note: This wasin addition to
the $100,000+ spent on physical restoration).I welcome and openly invite genuine and sincerely interested buyers to send a certified professional classic and muscle car appraiser pre-sale to put unbiased 3rd party eyes on it. I will even send contact information of local experts to help arrange. In fact, if there's any justifiable reason for you to not pursue purchase... I will personally pay for this inspection. If you are reading about this Buick GS455, I assume you likely know the story of these cars. If not, I’d highly encourage you to Google some information; perhaps some magazine articles. Back in 1970 (at the pinnacle of the Muscle car wars) Buicks were THE CAR to beat. These outran the 440-six packs, 426 hemi machines, Pontiac GTO’s, Mustangs, and everything else. These GS455 cars are absolute animals. They were the FASTEST MUSCLE CAR BUILT. It took nearly 20 years, and an extra 2-cylinders for any other manufacturer to build a more powerful car.
Although I have a heartfelt love for Buicks since childhood (and I’m happy to share the story with anyone interested), we really do have a disproportionately high number of them in our little collection. Six in total. I hate selling this car and, must say… even though it’s been looming for a while, this has been an exceptionally difficult decision for my wife and I. Mostly it was prompted by 3 things… discovery that our beautiful new garage has less functional space than expected. And the other… that we have semi-recently acquired a ’70 GSX. This exquisite GS455 is truly an exceptional car, in truly exceptional condition, offered at an exceptionally low price. There's been $120,000 invested into this car and some lucky person will maybe get it for less than 1/5th of that. I guess I’d say don’t miss out.

Please don't forget, I'm so sure about this car that I am offering to pay for inspection if there's any justifiable reason not to buy.I'm quite certain there's not many any other persons selling a vintage car on eBay willing to do that.
