69 GS 400

Description

California vehicle from day one, original paint, interior etc. I bought this car last fall, I had a black/white one in high school, I blew the engine the first night I had it, then smashed it up a few months later, I was 16 ! I have quieted down quite a bit ! ( 40 years ago ) I had been searching for a good rust free car and did I get a nice one ! My plan was to turn it into the one I had but after looking it over there is no way I could alter this fine original example, it needs to be in the hands of someone who wants it the way it is, color etc. I bought it from an individual who obtained it from the original owner who has passed away andapparently bought it off the showroom floor in 1969 in Chico California. I don't think it has any paint touch ups, it is quite weathered on the trunk lid and hood but looks quite nice overall outdoors. It recently had the vinyl top replaced ( well done ) only due to vinyl deterioration. The car has no corrosion, nothing at all. I am a long time Buick guy and was concerned it may still have nylon timing gear teeth so I pulled the front cover and yes it did. A few teeth had already got into the pan so it waswise I did this. New timing set etc installed and all is in good order. It runs so well, drives like a dream. The block has no vin on it, don't know that story, all other numbers match, it is a 400 block, it looks as though it has never been out but being so ol, its hard to say. Everything works well, lots of tiny door dents, scratches and so on, but again it is a rare unpainted survivor and looks quite nice. I think most of the exhaust may be factory, has spiral shocks still, looks like very little has ever been done/changed. This is a pretty neat car, I have only detailed it a little, someone is going to be very happy with this find.
