The engine has been rebuilt, but I will get into specifics below. It really is a rare opportunity to even be around an original paint 70 GSX. Most of them have been restored or wrecked in the last 50 years.
Body:
Original Saturn Yellow paint with the exception of the driver side door. The black stripes are all there. The
hood stripe has the most wear. It can be seen clearly in the video above. There are numerous dings and chips all
around the car, typical of a car that has been driven. Overall, there is no major rot. There are a few spots
where surface rust has popped through. This can all be seen in the video. Photos only go so far with description.
Interior:
With the exception of two aftermarket water and oil gauges below the dash, it is pretty much untouched. Both front
seats have separating seams in the seat bottoms, but the rest of the interior is in nice shape. The driver side
floor mat is getting a bit ratty, but the carpet underneath is still good. The radio works. Clock does
not…surprised?
Engine/Transmission:
The engine is NUMBERS MATCH original. It has been rebuilt sometime in the early or mid 2000’s. The VIN is still
on the deck of the block, so it can be verified. I cannot find a number on the transmission case, but it is the
correct casting. The engine runs smooth with no weird noises or ticks/knocks. Clutch feels good and tight and
rows through the gears just fine.
Wheels & Tires:
Wheels are the correct WG Buick rallyes with BFG tires. The wheel chrome isn’t perfect, but very presentable.
Spare wheel is also correct WG.
Weatherstripping:
The roof rail rubber is a bit dry and flaky but still doing its job. Door weatherstripping is decent. Quarter
window seals are decent. Trunk seal is there, but it’s getting kind of scuzzy along the bottom edge.
Undercarriage:
I’ve had a pretty good look under there, and it appears that it’s been cleaned up and blacked out under the entire
car. I think it would have been done at the same time that the engine and trans were out. There is NO rot. All of
the pinch welds and rockers are nice and clean
