I had a 1971 Buick GS350 was a carbon copy of this car: same color scheme. I think this was a 350 car that someone swapped a built 455 in , the fender emblems are a giveaway for 350, 455 emblems were on 455 equipped cars. I love this car none the less, I’d love to own it. I miss the heck out of mine, it was a great driving car.

Dude you're pissin' me off. I can't rip on you for your pricing on this one. 69-72 Skylarks are wildly undervalued and especially with a 455. Nice car man.

What a deal, Classic GS 455, turbo 400, in great shape, at a bargain price point. Just a wire harness, and a couple small repairs away from being a car that anyone could drive anywhere proudly. Nice find Nick.

Nice car but it's not a GS 455

Those 455s are torque monsters!

70 Buick Skylark was my first car to own in high school in the mid 80s . I bought it from my uncle. That car had plenty of torque and fast. Me and my friends named the car Rush. I enjoyed the ride , comfort and all the burnouts. ✔

I have a stage 1 gs with 4 speed !!!! I ordered it that way in 1970! runs to this day.

I'm 58 and in 1970 my parents had brand new 70 Skylark and 70 Charger R/T. We were lower middle class then so it shows how affordable cars were then. Now that 440 six pack Charger R/T is crazy expensive and beyond my means and I earn many times what their combined income was.

Always loved these cars. The gentleman's Muscle car perfect year with the perfect Hood

Someone is going to get a great muscle car for a good price. Very very nice car!!

Nice ride-I had a 70 GS 455 Skylark-Stage 1-wicked car. Embarrassed quite a few people with it

The Buick Skylar with a 455 is very rare today decent shape

Great looking Buick!! 👍👍

Gorgeous car, those 455s are no slouch at all

Nice car at a good price. These motors were fast.😊 gotta blow that carbon out Nick.😅

This was the first car I ever wanted to buy, I seen one sitting in someone's driveway back in the 90s, I was a teenager, it was a 70 skylark, I thought it was the coolest car ever, still do, reselmbes the Chevelle.

Awesome example! Am I the only one that noticed that the passengers side mirror is round? 😉

Buicks are the best driving of the GM A body cars. I currently own a 69 GTO and a 70 GS 455. I've owned Chevelles and Cutlass's too and the Buicks usually feel the tightest and are the quietest of the bunch. And the big 'ole 455 Buick is a great engine.

Mopars couldn’t touch them, not the 440’s, not the 440 six pack, not even the Hemi. I had one, exact same color only mine was a convertible and never was beat by a Mopar, not even the ones I listed. The torque is what did it for Buick. Plus the horsepower was rated at 360 but it was actually around 400. All car manufacturers underrated the horsepower for insurance purposes.

very nice love 455 cars

That is a beautiful car!

Sweet ride best of the cars u hav had on this week lov it.

Mix of early and later 1970 model year parts. Long armrest bases, the (likely plastic so don't lean on it) core support brace, and overflow tank say: early sequence car. Instrument panel lenses say: late sequence car. There was a transition period in which early and late parts could be found as original equipment. Lack of the Ram Air aircleaner means water will just pass right through the hood, the factory Ram Air has drain buckets as part of the system that seals to the scoops. Steel GS hoods are kind of rare. One cost me 600...in 1990...and it needed bodywork. This hood looks nice. The chrome nose piece is a hen's tooth. The underhood insulation is (correctly) deleted in the recesses for the scoops, they will just soak up water if installed and rot the hood. factory left them out. Too bad we can't see the VIN, if there's an "H" in the middle (to the left of the 0 near the center) it's a Flint car. Buick had some really good product coming out of Flint at the time. Looks like the depressed park wipers were clocked wrong, easy fix. Frame looks good from what we see as do floors. Seems like a winner . Somebody will get a car that needs little for a good price. I miss my Buick.

❤BEAUTIFUL CAR❤ And it has a lot of POWER 💪

Bought a nice one back in '82. A friend challenged me to a race. Mine also automatic,bench seats,no air,373 posi rear. His was a '73 trans am sd455.4 spd. Both were stock. I warned him that I would win. He kinda laughed. While he was shifting gears,he could only see,my rear end. Lol. Actually that 455 put out more like 450 hp not the 360 as advertised.

This GS Is nice over all and nice to look at as well. Not bad at all to boot. For she has been there for many years and still will trip your Tigger.

Your radio is a custom auto sound. I've got one of my 72 and 68 corvettes. They are $500. It's good radio. Bluetooth. USB, the works.

Nice car Nice color.

You can tell that back then they didn’t care much about wheel offset, good grief you could stick head in the fender to have a look at the wheel, run through a mud puddle and no mud would ever touch the paint, just splash up on the frame😂 but anyway love these old Skylarks especially GS cars with the 455

I love that!

Great ride! Love the matching colors in/out! First GS455 I have seen with column automatic! Is this a factory GS car? Was it factory with the 455? @MapleMotorsNickSouthgate Small item: you mentioned a tachometer - I see the 3 aftermarket gauges, but that left digital tach has to be way fast - doesn't sound like a 1500 rpm idle! AND the gauge says VOLTS under the readout. 😅 Glad you let it roll forward in gear in a wide open parking lot ... 😊 0:43 is it the wide angle camera lens? ... the LF tire & rim looks toward the back of the wheelwell, AND 11:30 deeper in the wheelwell - especially compare it to the RF. Is it frame misalign, or left side upper & lower arms not matching the right, or are the suspension/ frame mounts moved toward the rear and inward? AND the gap from the LF fender to the door appears misaligned. Would like to see this car in person ...
