07792 229839 . MOT'd till 28 September 2019. TAX and MOT exempt. 

Fitted 1970 date coded 455, Edelbrock torker455 inlet manifold, new Edelbrock 750cfm carburettor, 4 speed manual with Hurst shifter, approx 375 BHP / 510 lb/ft torque, 3.07 axle ratio. Saddle interior and switchgear in the sort of condition that supports the 31000 odd miles showing on the odometer. Owned now for about 2 years the Buick needed the timing sorted, new starter motor, the clutch replacing and converting to hydraulic release bearing.   The brake system was overhauled as a precaution and the rear hub seals were replaced at the same time. Fresh matching tyres all round including spare, fresh dual flowmaster exhaust. New aluminium 4 core radiator, clutch cooling fan and electric twin fans. Fresh window seals. New Torque Thrust D's, front sway bar drop links, 4 new shocks, a new rear sway bar retro fitted which has greatly improved cornering. H4 halogen conversión with 4 high & 4 low. New thermostat and OEM cast thermostat housing replaced the bling chrome housing. (The chrome ones tend to leak.) removal of some “Walmart” trim down each side and making good. Paintwork in very reasonable condition (see pictures) Good solid car in very respectable shape. Various fettling and small jobs done. 

Drives and stops very well and is very reliable, gobbles up the miles (70 comes up at 2500 rpm) and is in daily use rain or shine and is remarkably economical. Being a manual I get 16/17 mpg without trying. A dry state car from New Mexico via Nevada. Impco LPG system fitted in August. At 61.9p/litre this gives a 30 mpg cost equivalent. Full wiring diagram and parts list included for the gas conversion. This can however be removed if it’s not to your taste.   Workshop manuals and owners manual also included. Loads of receipts and photographic evidence(blog) of work carried out. On recently replacing the water pump it was discovered that the engine has been upgraded to double roller timing chain quite recently.

Fancying a change and I’ve seen a couple of vehicles I’d like, In summary just get in and drive anywhere.... 

Dubbed "Executive Hotrod" by CAR LIFE April '64. "A too-heavy right foot will produce a black strip anywhere on any surface without even trying." MOTOR TREND June '64.
