Description:

WHAT I HAVE HERE IS MY 1971 GS 350 CAR FOR SALE. IT'S NOT AN EASY DECISION TO SELL, BUT IT'S TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO ENJOY THIS CLASSIC MUSCLE CAR. I'M SURE I'LL BE SORRY BUT I NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON MY HOME NOW. I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED THIS CAR FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS, I LIKE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLES NOT SHOW THEM OR KEEP THEM IN STORAGE. BEFORE I START I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY IF YOUR A PURIST THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU, BUT IF YOUR ARE REALISTIC THIS MAY RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY.
THIS IS A REAL GS 350 CAR (NOM) A GSX TRIBUTE, CLONE OR WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE TO CALL IT. I BELIEVE IT TO BE AN ABOVE AVERAGE DRIVER. ORIGINALLY A BROWN CAR WITH A VINYL TOP FROM OHIO, IT CAME TO ME PRIMED IN NEED OF RESTORATION. IT DID HAVE SOME RUST AND THE FRONT FLOORS WHERE SOFT. I TAUGHT MYSELF TO WELD AND DID THE FLOORS MYSELF AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS. THE BODY WAS REPAIRED AND PAINTED BASE CLEAR COAT AT THE BODY SHOP ABOUT 9 YEARS AGO. IT IS NOW CORTEZ GOLD AND ALL STRIPES ARE PAINTED NOT TAPED. THE GS IS GARAGED AND STILL SHOWS VERY NICE, I GET SO MANY NICE COMPLIMENTS ON THE PAINT AND CAR. I DON'T WANT TO BLIND YOU WITH WORDS SO I'LL TRY TO BE DIRECT AND BRIEF, PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND I'LL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER ANY THING I MAY HAVE MISSED.
CONDITION:
EXTERIOR: PAINT IS VERY NICE WITH VERY MINOR CHIPS HERE AND THERE OVER THE YEARS. ONE SMALL SCRATCH BY PASSENGER REAR QUARTER BELOW THE SIDE MARKER LIGHT, HARD TO PICK UP ON THE CAMERA. BOTH BUMPERS WHERE RECHROMED AND THE REAR HAS SOME MINOR PEELING ON THE TOP WHERE IT MEETS THE TRUNK. IT HAS A RARE N25 BUMPER WITH STAINLESS EXHAUST TIPS. FLOWMASTERS AND X-PIPE MAKE IT SOUND VERY MEATY. BF GOODRICH 245 60 15 ON ALL FOUR CORNERS SURROUND THE BUICK 15X7 MAGS WITH CORRECT SILVER CENTER CAPS. TRUNK PAN AND CORE SUPPORT HAVE REPAIRS THAT WHERE NOT DONE BY ME.
INTERIOR: CARPET, WINDOW CRANKS, HEADLINER, PACKAGE TRAY WHERE REPLACED THOUGH THE REAR TRAY HAS WARPED A LITTLE. BUCKETS ARE NICE AS WELL AS THE REAR BENCH WITH ONLY 2 SMALL SEPERATIONS AT THE SEAM ON THE FRONT BUCKETS. DASH IS CLEAN WITH A SMALL CRACK IN THE TOP CORNER BY THE WINSHIELD HARD TO SEE. CAR WAS ORIGINALLY A BENCH SEAT COLUMN SHIFT CAR. I WELDED IN SEAT TRACKS AND INSTALLED THE CORRECT CENTER CONSOLE WITH HORSESHOE SHIFTER. WAS AN AC CAR BUT COMPRESSOR WAS REMOPVED BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. THE FAN FOR THE HEAT WORKS OF A TOGGLE SWITCH, ALSO THE WAY IT CAME, NEVER DRIVE IN THE WINTER SO I NEVER REALLY LOOKED INTO IT. ALL GAUGES AND AFTER MARKET GUAGES ALONG WITH DIRECTIONAL, HEADLIGHTS, TAILIGHTS, WIPERS, INTERIOR LIGHTS WORK.
DRIVETRAIN: GOOD STUFF HERE. THE WHOLE DRIVETRAIN HAS LESS THEN 3, 000 MILES EVEN THOUGH I REPLACED THE ENGINE YEARS AGO. I DRIVE IT LOCALLY IN THE SUMMER. ENGINE IS A REBUILT 72 350 WITH A MILD CAM, HEADERS, T/A STAGE 1 ALUMINUM INTAKE, 1 INCH SPACER WITH BIG BLOCK ROCHESTER CARB COVERED BY THE DUAL SNORKEL AIR CLEANER, AND HEI DISTRIBUTOR. THE GS HAS IMPRESSIVE POWER AND GETS GOOD GAS MILEAGE AS WELL. THE TRANNY HAS A VERY STOUT SHIFT KIT AND WAS REBUILT BEFORE I GOT IT. HAS A SMALL LEAK, NEEDS A NEW PAN GASKET. I HAD THE REAR DONE AS WELL, WAS AN OPEN REAR 3:08 NOW HAS GM 3:42 POSI REAR . I BELIEVE THE TRANNY AND REAR ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. NO BUILD SHEET BUT I DO HAVE THE PROTECTO PLATE. PS, POWER DRUM BRAKES, AND SHE RUNS COOL AT 195 ALL DAY LONG.
CONCLUSSION: SOME OF THE PICTURES SHOW DIFFERENT TIRES AND LIGHTS. THE CAR HAS BF GOODRICH TIRES, WHITE HEADLIGHTS, BLACK FRONT SPOILER. THERE ARE MANY PICTURES PLEASE SCROLL DOWN. I'M SURE I'M FORGETTING SOMETHING BUT I TRIED TO DESCRIBE THE VEHICLE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEGE. I DO NOT HAVE IT FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE BUT I DO GET OFFERS ALL THE TIME, SO I HAVE THE RIGHT TO END THE LISTING EARLY. I'D LIKE TO SELL IT HERE BECAUSE I DON'T REALLY WANT TO SEE IT LOCALLY. PLEASE ONLY BID WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD, CAR IS SOLD AS IS AND BUYER IS RESPOSIBLE FOR SHIPPING. OF COURSE I'LL HELP ANYWAY I CAN. NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK.
