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.
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.
I approve this message. As far as drive it off the showroom floor all stock they were the fastest bone stock street cars you could buy. It was the family guys car who wanted to race too. But if your intentions were to race at the strip every weekend you were better off with a LS6, or Hemi, COPO,
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'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.
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.
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.
@@toddbob55 Compared to what exactly? I'll give that Mopar generally had the best brakes but just because you owned a clapped out Cutlass with 300k miles on it doesn't mean "All GM's had sloppy brakes and horrible suspension".
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.
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.
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
It's the same Engine as the gutless Cutlass , 442 , Oldsmobile offered that 4-barrel carburetor, factory Rochester quadrajet for speed on the floor, buy Muncie and dual exhaust , John DeLorean brainchild ,🇺🇸🗽 unfortunately these are all part of American History.
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 ...
Great looking car Nick,,,,,But the carburator needs to be took apart and cleaned up and put oversized jets in it,,,,, trust me I've done it for a long time from when I was 18 know I'm 69,,,,,but your price blows away all these other u tubers lol always look forward for your videos
I think it was a similar car , I don’t remember it and the stock number doesn’t have a dash after the Number. Typically thats how I confirm a trade in or buy back. I’ll double check on that tomorrow…
Even if it was classic cars go up every year. I pay more and more as time goes on. I don’t mind telling you if it was a repeat sale. We have repeat buyers who trade all the time. Thanks

Nice. The Buicks were actually the fastest cars around, rivaling even the Mopars.

The Buick Skylar with a 455 is very rare today decent shape
Nice ride-I had a 70 GS 455 Skylark-Stage 1-wicked car. Embarrassed quite a few people with it
I have a stage 1 gs with 4 speed !!!! I ordered it that way in 1970! runs to this day.
Someone is going to get a great muscle car for a good price. Very very nice car!!
Very beautiful car I love it
Gorgeous car, those 455s are no slouch at all
I missed this Buick about 9 months ago when you had it before... I think I should make the trip down this time.
Nice car at a good price. These motors were fast.😊 gotta blow that carbon out Nick.😅
My folks had the same car a '70 Buick GS 455 and they FLY! My dad got ticketed traveling 95mph while towing our Aristocrat trailer!

Buick didn't follow guidelines and built everything better than Pontiac Chevy olds

Your car was good for low 13 sec. The 73 SD could do high 13 to low 14 sec.
Awesome example! Am I the only one that noticed that the passengers side mirror is round? 😉
Good eye
That Buick takes me back when I was a 16year old kid with my first car we called it the avocado beautiful car Nick thanks for sharing Nick 👍😆
Man I would love if that was my first car. Unfortunately nowadays these cars cost like 10 times the price they used to back then, and more.
very nice love 455 cars

I am impressed at how you show everything, good bad and ugly! If anybody buys a car from maple motors can't say you hide flaws from them! Great job!

Love this car
That engine is music to my ears
Now your talking. 455? Turbo 400? And it's Green? Yes!!!!! Wish I had a little extra money.
That's a fine looking car.
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.
It's absolutely stunning!!
Sweet ride best of the cars u hav had on this week lov it.
Music to my ears car sounds great... it's about thst time!! Lets go for a ride!! Lol
❤BEAUTIFUL CAR❤
And it has a lot of POWER 💪
I thought maybe the gage was an air/fuel mixture.
Me too
That gauge was both a tach on the outside in green and Numbers on the inside are volts.
Beautiful ride. Those cars are awesome! Great video Nick
I agree
Love these lines...as other's have said, looks very reasonably priced...aren't a ton of the around.
Nice car Nice color.
0:01 Ghost Ride the Buick😆
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.
Nice ride!
That’s an AFR gauge my guy, air fuel ratio. Seems like it’s got a good mixture.
Numbers just don’t add up but it very well could be.
IT Just needs to be driven more. Old cars don't like to sit around much.😊
Great ride! Love the matching colors in/out!

He never claims it to be a gs. It's a skylark with gs badges.
Nice Buick. Stage 1 emblems would cover those holes in the fenders nicely.
Nick, that's Quadrabog!! 😂
Good looking Buick the factory wheels look good too
Green dial around perimeter is Tach, numbers on display is voltage

Is that the one where they steal the hubcaps and sell them back to you for twice the price ?

I just got an add for the electric car dealership in my city while watching this video!!! Lolololol
ITS A BEAUTIFUL GREEN 😍😍😍
One of the best cars Ive seen on here of all time! Wish I could buy one!
You have a backup light out on the driver side bro 😹.
I like the color Army green.
Really nice ride
I think it's a beautiful automobile indeed.
Very beautiful amazing looking car thanks Nick have a very nice weekend mate
510 lbs Torque monster
split bench seat, automatic on the column and a not stupidly loud bitched out 455ci.
definitely my kind of muscle car.
A luxury muscle car with real big block Buick power got luv the green on green combination.
The best car so far.

The car has a life of its own at the start of the video ha ha….
Same one from 9 months ago. Got brought back and now selling it for more now?
Nope different car , we have never had this one before. Similar but not the same…
Even if it was classic cars go up every year. I pay more and more as time goes on. I don’t mind telling you if it was a repeat sale. We have repeat buyers who trade all the time. Thanks
Is it still there let me know I would like to get it
Let me know if you get another one
What color GREEN is that
Mann you guys just don’t stop
Has it been sold yet
Man great car. I'd put buckets in her and a console asap.
I really like this car but the horn doesn't work.
Put a Quadrajet back on it, and a few extra parts, and this could easily be a Stage One clone. Nice car for the price.
Give you a $18500
That car needs bucket seats and a console with floor shifter.
Has this car Sold?
Yes
I don’t understand the slow, un-manned roll.
Me either lol
