Let's talk about the Buick GS400 before I buy one.

its an old slow barge

I dont have much else to say about it

>>16939162
from experience?

Looks fantastic

Cooler than a Chevelle, but less cool than a Cutlass.

>>16939179
yessssss

>>16939171
closest Ive been to experiencing one was a Chevelle and even that was slow

the GS is even heavier and it doesnt take much searching to see how slow it is

>>16939184
so get the stage 1

>>16939194
even the Stage 1 isnt impressive mid 14s at best

>>16939218
It is a 50 year old car . If you waant to modernize then get $12,000 chevy BBC 632 and run 10s all day.

>>16939236
yeah and about another 10k into suspension and tires

old cars are garbage in general

this is the kinda shit you buy to cruise around it and not much else

>>16939153
just gonna be a daily driver, so want some comforts of the late 60s and enough power to have some fun.

>>16939153
The Buick 455 v8 is best.

>very under appreciated

>>16939247
Are you claiming that for $20k this car could blow the doors off modern muscle?

>>16939266
>so want some comforts of the late 60s
>comforts
>60s

what

did someone say GS400???

>>16939298
its a 20k car
with 20k worth of parts
plus how much ever labor is

it would still likely get its ass kicked on a track that isnt a straight line
it would be less safe
it would still have shit comfort and tech

if you want to spend oh say 50k at a minimum to get a good start on top of buying the car then maybe

>>16939236
More like if you want to modernize it just get modern tires instead of the 1970's bias-ply shitheaps most muscle car test times come from.

>>16939322
then completely redo the suspension

still will be anemic

>>16939317
$20k worth of parts...was this car known to have many faulty parts?

>>16939331
uhh what

its an old piece of shit and modernizing it isnt cheap

I got the same year Skylark for $3800-. Buick 350, with BOP TH350. Comfy, no smog, keeps up fine with modern traffic.

>>16939340
any part acquisition problems

>>16939364
When the Buick engine blows (2067?), then I'll get a 327 or 5.3.

>>16939336
ahh, nah not modernizing just stock resto...well Bluetooth and A/C.

>>16939400

>>16939364
