My current Buick is a 1970 GS455 convertible. It was purchased in 1992, and I did most of the restoration myself (excluding paint and engine machine work). It had led a hard life prior to 1992. It has a 1970 455 in it, but the numbers do not match. Also the rear end is a non-posi unit from a '69 Oldsmobile.
I recently imported it to Switzerland, where we live, after storing it with a friend in Arizona for nine years. The move was a disaster, with the car arriving with thrown belts, a broken alternator and blown transmission that required a full rebuild. So I had lots of new work to do.
I also previously owned and did lots of work on a 1970 GS with the 350.
Looking forward to helping where I can and learning from others.
Kind regards,
